In a world ruled by immortal sects and devoured by demonic tides, where each higher realms feeds on the suffering of the one below, Lin Yuan, a nameless orphan beggar, walks unseen through the streets of broken sky city. He has no clan, no cultivation and no hope. He begs not live, but to simply pass one more meaningless day.
But fate is neither merciful nor blind. When a torn and bloodstained manual – The Dark Demon Cultivation Path – falls into his hand. Lin Yuan steps onto a road no sane cultivator would dare walk. A path of slaughter, soul devouring, and impossible ascension through forbidden means.
Yet he does not seek revenge. He does not hunger for immortality. He possesses no ambition and he doesn't even wish to live.
He simply walks forward. In a realm where strength defines truth and detachment is the final gate of heaven, What becomes of a man who no longer feels anything at all?
From beggar to butcher, from boy to abyss - his name will echo across realms, not as a hero nor villain, but as a void where heavens once dared to look.
This is not a story of glory. This is the quite end of all paths.
— Pathless Heaven.
