At the peak of the martial path, Mu Jin had already achieved everything. He united the Central Plains, stood above righteous and demonic sects alike, and reached a realm no mortal body could contain. Then, on the day he was meant to ascend…he vanished. When Mu Jin opened his eyes again, he was no longer the emperor who had shaken the martial world. He was Lian — a dying young man from a ruined Earth, trapped inside the first trial of a mysterious Tower that had driven humanity to the brink of extinction. The world outside had already changed. Three colossal Towers had descended.The Surge had swallowed continents whole.Monsters roamed beyond the barriers.And humanity survived only by sending the chosen into the Tower’s brutal floors, where power could be earned only through blood, sacrifice, and despair. But Mu Jin has a problem. He did not inherit Lian’s talent.He did not receive a blessed Heaven-rank ability.And the godlike power he once possessed is gone. All he has left is: the mind of a man who once stood at the peak, a broken body that was never meant for greatness, and the Demonic Arts — a path that grows stronger the closer one walks to ruin. Now, in a world of false heroes, collapsing barriers, and trials cruel enough to break entire realms, Mu Jin must climb the Tower once again. Not as the emperor who had conquered his world. But as a nameless challenger starting from the very bottom. And this time… if he fails, he will lose far more than just his life.
