Rebel Against the Nine Heavens

Xu Chen was once a peerless prodigy, until his cultivation partner and closest friend betrayed him together. They ripped out his bones and stole his core, crippled his cultivation, and cast him into the Immortal-Burying Abyss on the first of the Nine Heavens.

Everyone believed his soul had been annihilated, unaware that the abyss concealed an ancient forbidden art capable of reversing life and death: The Book of Defying Fate.

He becomes a Shura and returns to the Nine Heavens, reclaiming his sword's edge from the lowest depths.

In the First Heaven, he is the despised "trash from the abyss";

In the Second Heaven, he is the "nameless killer" who unleashes a storm of blood;

In the Ninth Heaven, the gods and buddhas of the myriad heavens tremble, while those who betrayed him kneel and beg for mercy.

Sword in hand, Xu Chen asks just one question:

"When you ripped out my bones and stole my core, did you ever think... that even an ant might one day devour the heavens?"
