This is a layered universe, its countless heavens cut off from one another by barriers.
The lofty cultivators wield magical treasures and divine arts, treating the billions of beings in the lower realms like weeds. Day and night, they drain the world's spiritual energy and the blood of mortals, all to refine elixirs of immortality.
The lowly Lin Yu was born in an underground weapons foundry where sunlight never reached. Every day, his blood was drawn to forge weapons, leaving him worse than dead.
Then, one day, he accidentally devoured the remnants of an ancient weapon and awakened a forbidden physique long thought extinct: the Prison-Quelling Desolate Heaven Bone!
I don't cultivate complicated spells, nor do I seek the elusive Heavenly Dao.
Your swords filling the sky are nothing but fine fuel for tempering my bones. Your supreme divine arts are no more than snacks to go with my drink!
The more I fight, the stronger I get. The harder you hit me, the tougher I become!
“You call me a barbarian from the lower realm?”
Lin Yu rose into the air. Dark-gold bone markings blazed across his fists with a ferocious light that could tear apart the heavens. One punch shattered the nine layers of heavenly barriers high above, ten thousand meters in the sky!
“Today, I’ll fight my way up to the ninth heaven with my bare fists and drag every one of you so-called immortal gods off your pedestals!”
