The Defying Heaven Art: Return of the Xuantian Saint

He was once the Supreme Divine Sovereign who ruled the heavens, but was betrayed by his most trusted friend and lover. At the critical moment of refining a chaos treasure, he was struck by the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, shattering his divine soul and casting it into the mortal realm. When he opened his eyes again, he had become Chu Lingxiao, a discarded son of a family in the lower realm of Yunhuang Continent, with his cultivation crippled and subjected to scorn. 'In this life, I will not revere heaven, nor worship earth, nor cultivate reincarnation—only defy the heavens!' With a wisp of indestructible remnant soul and a mysterious devouring power, he walks the path of cultivation anew, refining countless bloodlines and devouring divine souls. From a border town to dynastic wars, from the mortal world to the ancient path of ascension. His former enemies have already reached the pinnacle, ruling the universe; while he rises step by step through blood and fire. When he returns to the heavens as a mortal, he faces his friend who has become the Heavenly Emperor, his lover who is now the Divine Empress, and a shocking conspiracy that spans the ages... 'Everything you took from me, I will take back a thousandfold. The heavenly dao you fear, I will shatter!'
