In the Lower Realms, where mortals strive to ascend the heavens, a youth named Lin Feng toils silently as a servant disciple in the Ironwood Sect. Born with a shattered meridian, deemed unfit for cultivation, Lin Feng spends his days scrubbing floors and enduring mockery. But everything changes when he stumbles upon a sealed cave hidden beneath the sect's ancestral grounds.
Inside, he discovers the remnants of a fallen Supreme Ancestor and an ancient artifact: the Heaven-Crushing Jade, a mysterious shard that pulses with forbidden energy. Upon touching it, Lin Feng is thrown into the Soul Abyss, a broken dimension where time flows differently and ancient wills still linger.
There, he inherits fragments of countless martial paths: the Heavenly Demon Fist, Void Traversing Steps, and most importantly—the cultivation technique known as Heaven-Crushing Scripture, which allows one to absorb and refine not just energy—but the very laws of heaven and earth.
Returning from the Abyss after what felt like decades but was mere days in the real world, Lin Feng begins his journey up the treacherous path of martial cultivation. As he grows stronger, he uncovers secrets buried by the great sects, is hunted by forces from the Upper Realms, and crosses blades with geniuses of countless domains.
But he holds one truth in his heart:
> "To walk the Heaven-Crushing Path… is to never bow, never yield, and never stop climbing.">
