Alchemy of a Defiant God

Jin Zhaoyuan’s morning begins like any other: coughing up black blood and enduring the thinly veiled sneers of the estate guards. Cursed by a demonic cultivator while still in the womb, his spirit veins are irreparably shattered, rendering him the laughingstock of the Jin Clan. But his prickly pride refuses to bend. When a desperate, bloody training accident smears his blood on his missing mother’s jade pendant, he awakens Grandmaster Huo Tu - a maniacal ancient alchemist who sees Zhaoyuan not as an heir, but as a highly durable guinea pig. Surviving agonizing, explosive elixirs that forcefully reforge his veins, Zhaoyuan enters the Sky-Cleaving Pavilion's tournament a new man. When his snobby fiancée interrupts the opening ceremonies for a public annulment, Zhaoyuan throws the drafted papers directly in her face, loudly dumping her before beating her new prodigy suitor half to death. Alongside a chaotic thunder-weasel and a frosty sword-maiden who matches his fiery arrogance, Zhaoyuan embarks on a brutal, high-speed path of cultivation. But as he rises, he makes a chilling discovery: the demonic cultivator who cursed him wasn't a stranger, but his warm, beloved uncle who has been feeding him 'healing pills' for eighteen years. Can Zhaoyuan outlast his mentor's insane concoctions long enough to exact his vengeance?
