Taboos have returned across the world. Vengeful ghosts, suppressed for a thousand years, have broken free, and an SSS-rank Yellow Springs Ghost Domain has engulfed the city. For ordinary people, stepping outside means certain death.
Li Tan and his younger sister, Li Muzi, have only each other. But his sister has been infected by a water ghost puzzle piece and is on the brink of death.
To save her, he feeds himself to the ghosts, assembling three deadly ghost puzzle pieces: a ghost hand, ghostfire, and corpse-burning. His body becomes half human, half corpse, and he withstands the deadly curse of the ghosts’ backlash.
He joins the Paranormal Bureau, ventures into a double-layered Yellow Springs Ghost Domain, fights the snow woman of the island nation, crosses the border to kill his former classmate Qin Hao, a defector who fled abroad, and takes on a Western vampire CEO.
By chance, he unlocks three-colored ghostfire and a four-layer ghost domain. The corpse-burning power within him is completely stabilized, with no risk of resurgence, bringing his strength close to the Dragon Kingdom’s pinnacle, Elder Zhu.
The foreign Juhui Society, Western ghost-taming organizations, and the century-old Guan family all set their sights on the water ghost inside his sister. Meanwhile, powerful ghosts from beyond the borders conspire to destroy humanity.
The Glutton of the Ghost Market gifts him a life-extending treasure. A mysterious old man guides him to the limits of ghostfire. A century-old recluse emerges, and veteran ghost tamers from all sides join the fray.
“Anyone who dares touch my sister will have every last shred of their soul burned away by my four-layer ghostfire!”
The world fears the resurgence of ghosts. I, however, piece together countless ghosts and wield hellfire within my body to protect my only family and destroy every evil spirit in the world!
