Urban Corpse Immortal: One Man Suppresses Ten Great Sects

When night opens its eyes, even mortal bones can suppress the Yellow Springs.

The crematorium’s furnace leaks crimson bloodied hands at midnight, corpses in the morgue crawl out of corpse-raising wells, and longevity pills for the rich hide the cries of infant spirits—this city is sick, and the sickness began in the crack that opened at Ghost Gate twenty years ago.

Jiang Liang, a night watchman who sacrifices his own lifespan to suppress demons, bends his back by day to sweep up ashes, and by night uses cinnabar-stained copper coins to shatter century-old zombies. In one hand he grips the crematorium’s soul-summoning bell, and in the other the “Suppressing Demon Atlas” left behind by his father. Besieged by the ten great sects, he tempers himself into the most contradictory blade in the world.

“The fate of the Suppressing Demon lineage is to nail ourselves to the boundary between yin and yang.”

When the world’s ghost realms devour the lights of the human world, Jiang Liang drags his corpse-immortal bones into Fengdu. His soul-striking whip shatters the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and his forbidden talismans burn through his last three days of lifespan, leaving the world only a mortal body blocking the fissure.

His bloodstained daoist robe is carried back to the human world by a black cat; a child in an orphanage opens a yin eye filled with golden light; in the crematorium basement’s iron box, a Blood Buddha head waits for the next reincarnation.

Only when mortal obsession burns through the nine layers of the underworld does one understand that mountains and seas can be leveled, and fate itself can be reversed.
