In a land abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, gods no longer live forever, and one strange horror after another descends!
Great demons that devour human flesh and blood, and ever more bizarre entities that keep appearing.
Mortals without immortal roots can only become nourishing medicine for these forbidden creatures.
Shen Lian transmigrates with a System in his mind and becomes a member of the Great Chu Demon Suppression Bureau. He discovers that any martial art becomes astonishingly easy in his hands.
What's more, ordinary martial arts can even advance into body-cultivation techniques.
[Azure Ox Fist] Before simplification: Practice twenty times a day, and you can reach the basics after a month. After simplification: Eat two ox hooves a day, and you can reach the basics after three days.
[Golden Bell Shield] Before simplification: Strike your body ten times a day with a blunt weapon, apply one dose of secret medicine, and keep it up for three months to reach the basics. After simplification: Ring a bell nine times a day, and you can reach the basics after seven days.
...Your many martial arts meet the requirements. Beginning advancement.
[Ding! Your Azure Ox Fist has advanced to the Savage Bull Demon Fist.]
[Ding! Your Golden Bell Shield has advanced to the Great Solar Golden Bell Shield.]
[Ding! Your Raging Waves Saber Art has advanced to the Shark That Splits the Sea Saber.]
Years later, Shen Lian becomes the first Martial Immortal of the human race, slaughters his way through countless demon domains, and breaks into forbidden zones where the living dare not tread.
Beneath his feet lie the bones of demons and fiends; in his shadow, a hundred ghosts are imprisoned, forever on the march.
He announces to the world:
"If the invaders can come, so can I! From this day on, the tables are turned!"
