The Divine Heavenly Fiend Immortal

The Divine Heavenly Fiend Immortal is a fantasy cultivation novel by the web author Half a Copper Coin, serialized and completed on 3G Book City. It runs over sixteen hundred chapters and several million characters, with digital editions on platforms such as iReader and Shuqi, and an audiobook of the same name released in August 2019. The novel opens: "The fiend is a fierce god, rejected by the world; the immortal is longevity, enjoying heaven and earth's span." The protagonist, Lu Chen, is an ordinary man of mediocre talent, pushed onto the path of cultivation only because of his gifted younger sister. But in a cultivation world of the strong preying on the weak and rivers of blood, merely following the rules cannot protect those he loves. So he turns away from orthodox immortality, wielding fiendish qi and proving his way through it—"If ordinary cultivation cannot protect those I love, what does it matter if I become a fiend!" The story begins with Lu Chen gambling on stones and testing his spiritual roots in the mountains of Qianyu Gate, then unfolds through the seven sects of the Dao, immortal alliance auctions, and trials in the primordial wilds, with fortuitous encounters such as the Great Derivative Immortal Art, the Black Fiend Heart Fire, and the Fiend Eye Demon Heart advancing layer by layer, his cultivation rising from qi refining to ever higher realms. The book centers on the bond between brother and sister and campaigns across star domains, closing with "fiendfire burning the heavens" shattering the old iron law of "only the orthodox attain longevity." The work has a hot-blooded, brisk tone, pairing loyalty and ferocity, and stands as a representative example of the ordinary-man school of xianxia.
