Ye Chen, the Divine Realm's number one Sword Emperor, is betrayed by his beloved, besieged by the gods, and falls atop the starry firmament.
When he opens his eyes again, he has become the most useless young master of the Qin family in Qingyun City. His dantian is crippled, his engagement is called off, and he is subjected to endless mockery and scorn.
"The east bank of the river may be high for thirty years, and the west bank for thirty years. Don't look down on a poor young man!"
The Chaos Pearl in his chest contains an ancient Chaos World, while the rusty scrap of iron in his hand turns out to be a fragment of the Heaven-Burning Sword.
He refines pills and cultivates the sword, devouring countless flames as he fights his way from Qingyun City to Zhongzhou, and from the Northern Wilderness Demon Realm to the Southern Frontier's City of Ten Thousand Poisons.
When he shatters the heavens and returns to the Divine Realm, those who once betrayed him finally begin to tremble.
"The hatred of my past life will be avenged in this one. With this sword, I will help Ye Chen cut down every faithless person under heaven."
