He was once the Martial God of Ten Thousand Realms, a legend who shattered heavens with a single strike. But betrayal sealed his divine soul into the frail body of Lin Feng—a scorned, beaten son-in-law of a crumbling clan. Mocked as trash, humiliated by his wife’s family, and cast aside like a broken tool, he endured it all with a smile. Why? Because beneath his ragged exterior burns the heart of a god, waiting to unleash chaos on a world that forgot his name.

Divorced and discarded, Lin Feng walks away from the Lin Clan’s sneers, his steps leading him to the downtrodden Ye Clan—a family of outcasts clinging to survival. They see a wanderer. He sees a canvas. With cunning sharper than any blade and secrets deeper than the abyss, he begins to mold them in the shadows, turning weaklings into warriors, paupers into kings. Every insult fuels his resolve. Every enemy becomes a stepping stone.

But the seal on his power is cracking. Ancient foes sense the tremor of a god’s return. Arrogant young masters, ruthless sects, and even the heavens themselves will tremble when the Shadow Patriarch rises. From a forgotten village to the celestial thrones, Lin Feng—Zhan Tian—will carve his name in blood and fire, proving one truth: those who scorned him will kneel, and those who dared to challenge him will break.

Cultivation? Unmatched. Revenge? Ruthless. Destiny? His to rewrite. The world thought it buried a nobody. It awoke a nightmare.

Wind screamed through the stone labyrinth, each gust a blade that etched scars into ancient rock, whipping dust into clouds that stung the skin and sharpened the senses. Towering slabs loomed, their edges honed by relentless gales, casting jagged shadows that flickered like knives under a sky sliced by streaks of silver cloud. The air was taut, laced with a metallic tang that quickened the pulse and set the nerves alight. Beyond a cleft where the stone seemed to bleed, a rift gleamed—a silver slash that pulsed with a force so keen it could sever fate itself. The Razor Meridian, the fifty-ninth force, had risen, its boundless blade of infinite power a silent vow to shred Lin Feng's spirit to ribbons.
