Summary

On the Yuanhuang Continent, once every ten thousand years, an Immortal Fruit descends. Whoever obtains it can greatly boost their combat power and cultivation ability, yet may also be devoured by it and never reincarnate. Sixteen years ago, the Immortal Fruit fell upon the newborn Chen Feng, and three years later the matter faded into oblivion. Sixteen years on, Chen Feng, unable to cultivate, is exiled to the Yaoshan Hunting Grounds for letting his dog bite and injure Chen Ao, a young master of the Chen family. Facing humiliation and provocation from the grounds' inhabitants, he fights back desperately, establishing himself through sheer ruthlessness and thus setting out on a path of passion, cruelty, and brotherhood bound by loyalty. The story begins in the place of exile, moves through conflicts across the continent, and ultimately ascends to the grand stage of the seven realms and the immortal world.

Editor's review

A quintessential otherworld power-fantasy: a good-for-nothing young master's opening, exile and establishing dominance, brotherhood gathering, and crushing foes above his level—fast-paced with dense conflict, suited to readers seeking thrills and a passionate atmosphere. The author excels at writing ruthlessness and loyalty; the protagonist rises from the middle ranks all the way to the immortal world, and the final reunion of the ten brothers carries real heroic spirit. Weaknesses: the early setup and face-slapping scenes feel somewhat formulaic, the romance line and female characters are shallowly drawn, and the cultivation rank system is laid out more as slogans than substance.

Reading tips

  1. Read chapters 1–5 first to confirm you can accept the hunting-grounds dominance arc's pacing and style before committing
  2. Cross-reference the Yuanhuang calendar and rank table (Chuyuan, Zhi, Shangyuan, Xuanyuan, Yuanman, Sanyuan) to track cultivation progress
  3. When the story shifts to the immortal world in the mid-to-late stages, skim the transitional chapters and focus on the brotherhood assembly and key battles
