The Dao That Devours Stars

Born with shattered spiritual roots in a border village beneath the corpse of a fallen moon, Liang Chen is fit only to sweep the outer courtyards of the Azure Lantern Sect. Yet when a forbidden alchemy furnace awakens to his blood, it reveals an impossible inheritance: the Star-Eating Dao, a cultivation path that refines failure, pain, and heavenly punishment into power. Every breakthrough draws tribulation. Every victory brands him a heretic.

As sect politics sharpen around him and geniuses with flawless roots rise to crush the unworthy, Chen must survive pill duels, hidden realms, tournament arenas, and the schemes of elders who fear what he is becoming. The heavens themselves seem to remember his inheritance—and hate it.

But beyond the Nine Provinces, ancient constellations are going dark. The immortal clans call it disaster. The demons call it prophecy. Liang Chen calls it hunger.
