Invincible in the World is an Eastern fantasy novel by Shenjian, a contracted author on Qidian.com. It was serialized on Qidian from July 2013 to May 2019, spanning 7.7676 million Chinese characters and more than 3,700 chapters. The story opens on the Snowwind Continent: Huang Xiaolong, a direct disciple of a Shaolin martial arts family on Earth, carries his family's secret martial arts manual, the Yijin Jing, with him through a transmigration and is reborn as an infant in Huang Family Village. He resumes training in the Yijin Jing at the age of three, and at seven enters the family's martial hall for his martial soul awakening. His cousin Huang Wei awakens a level-ten martial soul, the Three-Eyed Black Tiger, and is at the height of his fame, while Huang Xiaolong's martial soul is judged by the entire clan to be an ordinary mutated martial soul. Yet through a solid martial foundation and a cultivation speed far beyond his peers, he keeps revealing his talent, defeating the super-geniuses favored by everyone at family gatherings, in combat training, and in one confrontation after another, shaking the clan and the entire martial soul world again and again. The story is built around martial souls, battle qi, and combat techniques, and as the protagonist grows, it unfolds ever higher stages, from the Yellow Dragon World and the Divine Realm to the Sacred Realm and even the Pangu World, while the cultivation system extends from the Post-Heaven and Pre-Heaven stages all the way to Divine King, Great Emperor, and Sovereign, and ultimately to the realms of Creator God and Universe God. The book follows the traditional fantasy rhythm of being looked down upon in adversity, revealing one's talent, turning the tables with a resounding slap in the face, and ascending to higher planes. It holds a Qidian rating of 8.9 and has accumulated more than 100,000 bookmarks, making it Shenjian's best-performing work.
