In the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty, the imperial courts were in decay and the feudal vassal towns were separatist. Young Gu Changfeng's family was involved in a struggle for imperial power and powerful ministers, and his entire family was massacred overnight. He only survived with a broken jade pendant. Bearing a blood feud, he started out as a beggar in the market and embarked on a road of revenge by using martial arts to prove the Tao and using swords to question the sky.
After practicing the long-lost "Great Brahma Heavenly Sound" martial arts system, Gu Changfeng fought his way through the ranks and grew from a rough man in the world to a peerless strongman who shocked the world. Not only does he have to face the overt and covert attacks from all forces, but he also has to uncover the truth behind the massacre that year - it turns out that the so-called "powerful ministers" are just pawns, and the real man behind the scenes points directly at the pilgrim leader. As his cultivation progressed step by step, Gu Changfeng gradually mastered the power to change the world. Finally, in an earth-shattering decisive battle, he pointed the butcher knife at the heart of the enemy, avenging the souls of the dead and reshaping the order of the world. This is not only a passionate history of upgrades, but also a magnificent epic about human nature, power and redemption.
