*Devouring Sword God – Summary* Chen Wuya, a 15-year-old outer disciple of the Iron Cloud Sect, is trash-ranked, powerless, and bullied. His only weapon is a jagged rust shard pulled from the sect’s refuse pit. When forced into a death duel by an inner disciple, Wuya discovers his secret: the shard is a sentient “Rust Spirit” that can *devour broken swords* to evolve. Every piece of scrap metal he consumes makes him stronger, unlocking new abilities and a path no cultivator has walked. Starting from absolute zero, Wuya uses the shard to turn trash into power, crushing enemies who look down on him. As he devours stronger blades, the Rust Spirit grows — and so does the curse tied to it. From sect refuse pit to the peak of the sword path, Wuya’s journey is one of grinding, devouring, and becoming a god through blades others threw away.
