Mystic Realm Ascent

In a world where only five Mystic Emperors may exist at any one time, Li Shibai—a peerless genius cultivator—dares to defy the heavens. Arrogant, brilliant, and ruthless, he attempts to ascend to the forbidden realm without challenging an Emperor, believing himself untouchable. He dies in ten breaths.



But death is not the end.



Given a second chance through a cursed mark, Shibai returns to the past with forbidden knowledge and a decade to prepare. As he rebuilds his power and rises through the realms, he uncovers the horrifying truth behind the so-called Emperors—parasitic tyrants feeding on a slumbering god’s body.



What he once believed was the peak of cultivation is nothing more than a worm’s perch on the bones of something incomprehensible.



As he climbs higher, so too does his understanding of power, mortality, and fear. At the end of his path lies not glory… but something far older than death.



Because the world itself is alive.



And it has begun to wake.
