Monsters run rampant, and the Great Zhou dynasty is in decline.
Locusts sweep across the countryside, demons lurk in towns and county offices, and foreign demon clans watch hungrily as the fires of chaos begin to spread.
An ancient well wails. A deserted village runs red with blood.
Dong Xiaoshi, a boy from Dongjiagou, clings to the incomplete old techniques his grandfather left behind as he struggles to survive in a muddy, hostile world.
No godsent destiny, no sage to guide him. All he has are a bone arrow, a broken staff, and the blood of youth in his veins.
Monsters run rampant in the countryside, while members of his own clan harbor murderous intent. The court colludes with evil spirits. The mists of Gangfeng Ridge conceal countless dangers. The demon clans' divine artifact, the Black Radiance Great Sun Diagram, appears openly at court. Amid the bloodshed and chaos, the old mystery of his grandfather's disappearance slowly comes to light.
The chaotic age surges on, with ten thousand demons rising together, while human hearts are just as monstrous.
An ordinary boy steps into the land of death, fights demons and evil spirits, and uncovers conspiracies. In a shattered world, he carves out a path of cultivation for himself.
In this vast, troubled world, who can hold fast to their heart and overcome every obstacle amid the demonic chaos?
The legend of a village boy begins here.
