Heaven-Treading Prodigy: Path to Supreme

In a world where the heavens have fractured and the once-glorious Divine Boundless Universe lies shattered, cultivation is the only path to power. The Mortal Realm is a land of scarce spiritual energy, and with countless ancient inheritances lost to time, ascending the path of cultivation is as challenging as defying the heavens themselves.

Xiao Chen, once the heir to a declining noble family in the Vast Sea Continent, was considered an average genius—until fate led him to the tomb of a Supreme Immortal. Awakened by a legacy beyond mortal comprehension, he finds himself destined to walk the Three Great Paths of Cultivation—Soul, Body, and Qi.

With an evolvable Heaven-rank Martial Spirit, a Supreme Soul Technique, a Devouring Physique that refines all energy, and the Heavenly Yin Yang Dragon Bloodline, Xiao Chen transcends the limits of ordinary cultivators. While others struggle to break through realms, he embarks on a path that should be impossible—one that will shake the very foundations of existence.

But the remnants of the Great Calamity that shattered the universe still linger. Enemies lurk in the shadows, powerful forces seek to suppress his rise, and ancient secrets whisper of a truth that could alter reality itself.

As Xiao Chen defies fate, rivals, and the will of heaven itself, can he transcend the realms and reclaim the lost glory of the Mortal World?

Xiao Chen flexed his left hand, watching as the last traces of poison evaporated beneath the purifying glow of his Light Energy. Though his expression remained calm, his eyes gleamed with sharpened focus. 


The Crimson-Scaled Python recoiled, coils tightening with tension. Its massive head loomed low, crimson eyes gleaming with fury—and fear. It had learned its lesson. Xiao Chen was no ordinary prey. 


In the distance, the Obsidian Flame Lion and the Stormfang Tiger remained locked in feral combat. Roars of fire and thunder shook the ground, flames scorching the land as lightning split the skies. But Xiao Chen paid them no heed. 


His attention was fixed solely on the serpent before him. 


Suddenly, the python’s throat bulged—but it wasn’t venom this time.
