Lin Zhaoye, the abandoned son of the Lin family of the Eastern Wasteland, has his dantian destroyed. On the night his engagement is broken off, he hovers on the brink of death before awakening a mysterious black tower.
The tower can devour and break down all things, but it will never train for him or kill his enemies for him.
Fine, then. He'll do it himself!
The body-tempering youth ventures into the Blackwind Mine and kills the enemy who stole the tower with one punch. As an outer disciple, he enters the Pill Hall and refines discarded scraps into a peerless pill. Betrayed by his sect in the Bloodmist Secret Realm, he slays geniuses, severely wounds elders, and leads the survivors in breaking away from the sect!
The Qingyun Sect, the Tianyan Holy Academy, the ancestral lands of the Feng clan, the Alchemy Alliance, the ancient clans' blood prison... He cuts a path with his blade and makes his stand with pills, fighting his way to the top of the continent, only to discover that the black tower contains the power of an entire epoch, and that the Sikong clan has laid a century-long game, waiting for him to open the tower's gate with his own hands!
In this life, he rejects the power bestowed upon him by fate.
Break down outside forces, reforge myself. I am my own path!
All tribulations return to the origin; one slash severs the Dao!
