Soul Devouring and Boundary Breaking: I Embark on the Path to Immortality in the Era of Demon Chaos

Modern archaeologist Lin Yan touches a mysterious ancient stele and is transported to the late Dayin Dynasty, a time of depleted spiritual veins and rampant demons, possessing the body of a lowly soldier in the Demon Suppression Bureau. On the verge of death, he awakens the Soul-Devouring Body, capable of absorbing the blood and spirit cores of demons and transforming them into power, thus embarking on a path of slaying demons for survival and pursuing immortality. From thwarting a human sacrifice conspiracy and eliminating corrupt officials in Blackstone Town, to outwitting a treacherous head constable in Qingyang City and exposing the truth of high-ranking officials colluding with demons, Lin Yan gathers companions and forms a demon-slaying team. They venture deep into the spiritual spring of Canglang Mountain, battling the Bloodfang Wolf King and the Fiery Demon Tiger; explore the Demon Sealing Battlefield, preventing the Xuan Yin Sect from releasing the remnant soul of the Burning Heaven Demon Emperor; and travel to the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Desert to destroy the roots of the Soul-Devouring Demon Tree. As his cultivation progresses from the Body Tempering Realm to the Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and even the Void Refining Realm, Lin Yan discovers that behind the depleted spiritual veins lies the covetousness of the Soul-Devouring Demon Tree from the outer demon realm, and even a shocking conspiracy by the progenitor of all demons, Jin Chan. He led the human, spirit, and demon races in a rebellion against the forces that had been resisting him, sparking a wave of slave liberation in the demon realm. Ultimately, he united the forces of the two realms, set up a killing array in the starry sea, and fought against the torrent of extraterrestrial demons. He used the power of devouring spirits to return to the true nature to protect the spiritual veins of the three realms and ensure the survival of all living beings.
