Chen Ze, a five-element cultivator with a useless spiritual root, becomes a spiritual slave of the demonic sect and struggles to survive under the brutal torment of the genius Ye Yuan. At the brink of despair while refining pills, he awakens a mysterious "Spirit-Severing Seed" within his body, allowing him to conceal his cultivation and accumulate power. Enduring humiliation and biding his time, he joins forces with fellow sufferers, including Ji Xing, to launch a revenge attack at the critical moment of Ye Yuan's breakthrough. However, their plan fails because of a protective jade pendant, and all his companions are killed. In his desperate final moments, Chen Ze crashes into a mysterious stone pillar, and his soul is drawn into an unknown space. Thus begins his true quest to call the entire Demon Extremity Sect, and even the whole cultivation world, to account.
