In a world where power determines destiny, Xie Zhen is a cultivator with a dark and ruthless reputation. Born in poverty and marked by betrayal from a young age, he has learned that the only law that matters is that of brute strength. Unlike the typical cultivation heroes, Xie Zhen is not driven by a sense of justice or a simple desire for vengeance: he is propelled by an insatiable need to control the fate of others and subjugate those who dare stand in his way. His rise is marked by calculated acts of cruelty and manipulation. He will not hesitate to use any method, whether it be theft, betrayal, or even sacrificing the souls of his allies to gain the smallest fragment of power. Xie Zhen delights in the chaos he creates, feeding off the suffering of others to strengthen his own abilities. While others form alliances out of caution, he infiltrates and destroys, using human weaknesses as pawns in a ruthless game of power. As he climbs the ranks of cultivation, Xie Zhen discovers forbidden techniques, paths that few dare to explore, which slowly transform his soul. However, his quest for infinite power draws the attention of ancient gods and malevolent entities, who see him as a threat to the fragile balance of the world. But Xie Zhen is determined to surpass even the heavens, ready to face all forces—whether divine or demonic—to become the very embodiment of terror. In *The Shadows of Ascension*, the reader is drawn into a spiral of darkness and pure ambition, where the protagonist does not merely survive: he crushes, consumes, and transcends the limits of human morality to reach a terrifying peak, daring the world to bow to his will.
