An age of chaos descends. Demons and monsters return, and mighty ships, cannons, and mechanical sorcery blast open the gates to the Nine Provinces.
Great Xia's martial arts tradition, passed down for millennia, is dismissed as feudal rubbish. The martial artists of old are reduced to playthings for foreigners and warlords!
As the nation falls and families are torn apart, Great Xia sinks into its darkest hour!
No one knows that deep inside an icy death prison, Great Xia's last Grand Commander, its guardian, remains sealed away.
Sixty years ago, he willingly made the prison his cage and stood guard over the Abyss to seal away a great demon.
Sixty years later, his great-granddaughter kneels outside the prison, her forehead bleeding as she pleads: "The foreigners say there's no one left in Huaxia to stand against them. Great-grandfather, please emerge from the Abyss!"
On this day, the death prison explodes apart, and Chu Cangyuan, now 120 years old, strides into the heavens with a System!
After sixty years in confinement, he has accumulated an immeasurable wealth of experience and cultivation. The moment he emerges, he redeems a hundredfold cultivation speed!
Western mechs are invincible? One strike of my ultimate astral energy, and I tear apart a steel behemoth with my bare hands!
Foreign gods descend? My life force blazes like the sun, and one punch shatters their divine throne in the void!
That day, the century-old general stood at the border, his spirit soaring like a tiger across ten thousand miles.
"China lies ahead. Gods and demons may not pass!"
