Invincible by Spending My Lifespan

Demons run rampant, and all beings suffer.

Our bodies drift like duckweed, our lives are as fragile as weeds.

Chen Hao arrives with a Book of Karma in hand. He can spend his lifespan to gain the power he would have in the future, and kill living beings to replenish that lifespan. So he raises his blade against demons and the uncanny, turning the hunter into the hunted.

“Thirty years of lifespan, and I gain the future in which my Demonic Flame Art reaches perfection. My life burns like a flame, blazing through demons until I become the supreme demon-slayer.”

“A hundred years of lifespan, and I gain a century of martial achievement. I enter the Way through martial arts, break into the Innate Realm, and crush the evil dragon of the great river.”

“A thousand years of lifespan, and I comprehend Heaven and Earth, gaining the future of a celestial. At a thought, Heaven and Earth stir; with a breath, the winds and clouds change. I shall make every tyrant beneath Heaven bow.”

Later, he gazed across the river of time toward the other shore of the future, where he saw the Heavenly Emperor, Daoist Venerables, Buddhas, Sages, and the creation of the world. He simply raised his butcher's blade and grinned at the endless uncanny demons and gods.

“I'll borrow your lives to help me reach a future beyond transcendence.”
