The Immortal Slays the Gods

The Immortal Slays the Gods is a classical xianxia novel by web author Lengguang Yue (real name Liu Yang, vice chairman of the Jilin Provincial Internet Writers Association). The protagonist, Xiao Fan, is an ordinary cultivator of the Qingyang Sect who is burdened with a blood feud after a wicked master ruins his servant and his family is wiped out; meanwhile, the demonic cultivator Ji Ming Laoguai targets him and nearly succeeds in seizing his body, and he barely escapes with the help of fellow disciples, the artifact spirit "Nüe," and the Heart-Poison Crystal. He cultivates within the Qingyang Sect's inner ranks, fighting to survive above his level, and goes through the Qingyang Tournament, expulsion from the sect, refuge with the Tomb Demon Sect, and entanglement in a bloody war between the Qingyang Sect and the demonic path, step by step driven to desperation by enemies and the entire cultivation world's siege. Declaring "Even if I become a demon, I will slaughter the entire immortal ranks and cover the sky with one hand," the work follows a revenge-driven main line through multi-realm, multi-world cultivation adventures involving Daoist arts, magical treasures, formations, and a nine-realm setting. The book runs roughly 3.8 million characters over 1,200-plus chapters, serialized and completed on Qidian (later Qidian Female), with the final chapter "Ruling the World" as its last update. The tone is hot-blooded power fantasy; the protagonist breaks through realms amid vendettas and fortuitous encounters, ultimately rising to dominate the nine realms.
