Peerless War Ancestor

Peerless War Ancestor is a long-running Eastern fantasy serial novel by the web author Fallen Star, totaling roughly 3.89 million Chinese characters across 1,244 chapters. Serialization began on 3G Book City in 2014; the novel held the site's Dragon Ranking at No. 1 for several consecutive months and was adapted into a game of the same name that launched in 2016. The protagonist, Zichen, is the son of General Ziyang. His meridians are blocked, making martial cultivation impossible, and after offending the reigning princess he is exiled to the frontier city of Xiliang. Xiliang is under siege by a hundred thousand grassland demon soldiers, its situation desperate. Zichen proposes to capture the leader first and volunteers to infiltrate the enemy camp and assassinate the enemy immortal master. The novel centers on his cultivation growth and campaigns, advancing through cultivation realms layer by layer and closing with his breakthrough to the Heavenly Venerable realm and his receipt of the Chaotic Origin True Scripture. The work continues the author's signature fast-paced, satisfying style: the protagonist opens in adversity, prevails against the strong while weak, and alternates fortuitous encounters with battles as sects, clans, dynasties, and ever-higher powers unfold in turn. It suits readers who enjoy traditional Eastern fantasy progression fiction and watching a protagonist break through realm after realm and turn the tables, and it also serves as a sample for understanding fantasy works on mid-2010s mobile reading platforms.
