The Heaven-Devouring Debt

Shen Du was one of the ten great Immortal Emperors in his past life—and the only one who died at the hands of his own people. Reborn into the body of an outer-sect disciple, he carries the Debt-Repaying Cauldron in his arms. The cauldron is still there, but a piece of his memory is shattered—he only remembers that three Immortal Emperors were among those who besieged him, yet he cannot recall why he deserved to die. The first time he channels the Debt-Repaying Cauldron to devour spiritual energy, a line of text surfaces within it: "First debt: Shen Du, in his past life, slew his friend." He does not believe it. But the creditors arrive faster than he can uncover the truth. That old friend he supposedly "slew," Lu Qingya, is still alive in this life. He stands outside Shen Du's door, and in his eyes there is no hatred—only something far more unsettling: confirmation. "You've finally returned," Lu Qingya says. "I've waited for you a long time." Every time the Debt-Repaying Cauldron devours, another debt is added. Every debt repaid peels back another layer of the truth about his past life. And the truth points toward the one person he least wants to face— his past self. In this life, he is in no hurry to bathe the immortal realm in blood. He must first settle his debts clearly, and then decide who deserves to die. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Heaven-Devouring Debt — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
