Star Martial Arts: Above the Heavens

Qin Mo was an unprecedented cultivation genius of the Qin family of Qingzhou. He began refining qi at seven, established his foundation at nine, and reached the late Foundation Establishment stage by twelve, dazzling the world and attracting everyone’s attention. But that year, he was betrayed by his beloved, Liu Ruyan, and his close friend, Su Yunting. A poisoned dagger pierced his dantian from behind, shattering his meridians and destroying his cultivation. Overnight, he fell from the clouds into the dirt.

For three years, he lived as a cripple. His family looked on coldly, cruel servants bullied him, and everyone who had once crowded around him avoided him like the plague. Only his father, Qin Yuanshan, and his branch of the family stood by him, along with his maid, Qing Luan, who watched over him day and night. Refusing to sink into despair, he trained relentlessly in his mortal body, every punch landing hard, every cry soaked in blood, all for the faintest spark of revenge.

Then, one night, a mysterious ray of starlight descended from the heavens and entered his sea of consciousness. His shattered meridians healed overnight, and his broken dantian came back to life. The ancient, long-lost Star Devouring Art chose him as its master, setting him on an against-heaven path where he would devour the world with the power of the stars and crush every enemy.

News that the cripple had been reborn spread across Qingzhou, stirring undercurrents among all the major factions. The close friend who betrayed him was now a peerless genius at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. The woman who abandoned him was about to celebrate a grand wedding, while the family’s second branch watched him like a hawk, eager to crush him completely at the clan’s grand competition. Su Yunting smiled as he waved his fan and asked, “Qin Mo, are you feeling better?” Liu Ruyan’s face was hidden behind a veil, her expression cold as frost. Everyone thought he had merely gone from being a cripple to a useless man who could barely cultivate.

They had no idea that the beast which had lain in wait for three years had already sharpened its fangs.

From the Qin family of Qingzhou to the thirty-six cities of the Eastern Wilderness, from the Golden Core realm to the Nascent Soul realm,
