In the vast and cruel world, where ancient clans, immortal sects, empires, and monsters vie for power in a nearly infinite land, being born weak is a death sentence—and being born monstrous can be even worse. In the Hou Clan, a powerful force, but far from being at the top of the world, Huo Feng is born, son of the patriarch and heir to a rare bloodline. Possessing red hair, bloodshot eyes, and a terrifying talent for cultivation, he awakens not only an affinity for fire, but a far more feared mutation: spiritual lava. From childhood, he reveals a dark nature. Cold, calculating, vengeful, and cruel, he doesn't dream of being a hero, savior, or righteous. He wants power. He wants to dominate. He wants to possess everything he desires, crush anyone who crosses his path, and leave scars on the world that will never fade. While still young, he chooses to follow a forbidden technique, a brutal cultivation path that can elevate him above all… or transform him into a living calamity. As internal intrigues corrode the clan from within, rivals emerge among lineages, sects, and empires, and the world's buried secrets begin to stir in the shadows, Huo Feng grows into something no one can fully control. To some, he is an unparalleled genius. To others, a harbinger of destruction. But one thing is certain: In this world, where everyone strives for immortality, Huo Feng doesn't just want to ascend to the heavens. He wants the heavens to bow before him, even if he has to drown them in fire, blood, and lava.
