Ascendants of the Nine Suns

In his previous life, Ye Yunfei possessed extraordinary talent, but his internal martial meridian suddenly closed, preventing him from practicing martial arts. He was met with ridicule from his own family, the betrayal of his fiancée who was having a secret affair, and the siege of various clans. The young Ye Yunfei was abandoned by all: his friends were bullied, his beloved left him heartbroken, and his father died a tragic death in battle.

Fortunately, the wandering Purple Sage True Monarch took him under his wing. Ye Yunfei grew to become the youngest Heavenly Emperor in history, but he was ambushed while undergoing his tribulation. He was reborn to the time when the turning point of his life occurred—when he lost his martial meridian—but also the time of his spirited youth.

Encountering his former relatives, friends, and lovers again, and facing all that was familiar, the Heavenly Emperor Ye Yunfei chose to start anew. A wisp of his Heavenly Emperor soul remains in his body, allowing the memory of his past life to be fully preserved.

Internally, there is a struggle for status; externally, there is the responsibility for the honor and disgrace of the family’s mineral veins. The empire’s top talents gather, the four major sects vie for power, and heroes rise across the Heavenly Profound Continent. Ye Yunfei is intimately familiar with this world’s rule of strength above all else.

With the aid of his thousand years of memories as the Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yunfei’s martial arts progress is astonishing. He continuously grows in the world of martial arts and rapidly leads his family and sect to prominence.

The peace does not last long; foreign invaders march in with iron hooves. Ye Yunfei leads the masses to rise up and resist, defending his homeland and ensuring its survival. To pursue the higher stages of the martial path, Ye Yunfei leaves his hometown and embarks on a new journey, eventually becoming the Heavenly Emperor once again.

Having suffered countless betrayals and underhanded schemes, in this life, he vows to kill gods if they block him and slay Buddhas if they stand in his way, riding forth without regret for his youth.
