Record of the Demon Sword Defying Heaven

A village suffers a great drought, and the crowd's words melt metal. The orphan Li Landu is bound to the sacrificial altar, flames engulfing him. At the moment of death, the rusty sword in his bosom breaks its seal, and the Heavenly Demon Sword emerges. Everyone says sacrifice can appease the heavenly wrath, but only he sees through it: this heavenly dao is itself a trap ensnaring countless living beings. The youth carries his sword and journeys far, accompanied only by the young child Gouwa. He travels through towns and villages across the world, dismantling layer after layer of heaven's net. The heavenly dao wants him dead, so he wields the demon sword and defies heaven. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Record of the Demon Sword Defying Heaven — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
