Beyond the Sky Rift

A rift in the heavens stretches across the sky, and gray miasma sweeps over the land. After three thousand years of calamity, life lies in ruins and mortals are as insignificant as ants. The immortal sects atop the clouds dwell apart from the world, guarding pure spiritual veins and treating the polluted people below like weeds. Lin Ji is just a child laborer in the Blackrock Mine. His parents died of miasma sickness when he was young, and he struggles to survive day after day in the lightless tunnels. A sudden surge of gray miasma collapses the mine. He escapes death, only to accidentally merge with a fragment of star marrow that fell from beyond the heavens. From then on, the bone-eroding miasma becomes his nourishment, and the corruption crystals of mutated monsters become his cultivation. Body Tempering, Dust Gathering, Meridian Condensation, Profound Insight… The boy who crawled out of a pile of corpses tramples a path of dust and blood, escaping the wasteland mine, crossing the Blackstone Dust Belt, and climbing to the immortal sects atop the clouds. He wants to see what ancient truth lies beyond the rift in the heavens. He will prove that even a polluted body can defy the fate of a doomed world.
