When cultivators came to Earth they destroyed human civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and the moon turned red and filled the world with monsters. Now, over a decade later, what is left of humanity slaves under the heels of Qi-infused masters. One man wants none of it. Sick of serving and determined to make the cultivators pay, he is found by a fearsome goddess who shows him a different path — one that does not rely on Qi. Through blood, sweat, and pain, he will fight to take back the planet and free humanity, or die trying. That is the Path of a Berserker.

When the cultivators came to Earth they destroyed civilization in hours. Now, over a decade later, humanity slaves under Qi-infused masters. One furious man, guided by a fearsome goddess, discovers a path to power that bypasses Qi entirely. Through blood, rage, and pain he will fight to free humanity from the empire — or die trying. That is the Path of a Berserker.

Overthrowing a 14,000-year-old cultivation empire is going to take longer than expected, but a great start has been made. A breakthrough to the Core Realm, a new Terran Sect, and a tribe of lost Terrans discovered in the wild. But not everyone is pleased with the progress. From pissed-off sect leaders to members of the ruling clan, enemies multiply — and dark forces from beyond the stars are beginning to stir.

The prestigious Legionnaire's Academy of Du Gok Bhong — an institution centuries old. Now a Gold Bracket contender and 8th Tier Core Realm Cultivator, the Berserker is starship-bound to compete with thousands of other tributes from occupied colony worlds. For most it is a death sentence. For him, it is the one chance to gain the imperial status needed to liberate Earth. Demons, monsters, a relentless princess, and a dark god all stand in the way.

School is out, but the education is just beginning. The trials at Du Gok Bhong Academy pushed the Berserker to his limits and fueled a breakthrough into the Sacred Soul Realm. But new power brings new responsibilities. The twin goals of defeating the empire and protecting it from the demonic scourge of the Cursed Stars now point straight toward the Hell Worlds — and that is exactly where he is headed next.

Survival in the Hell Worlds was never in doubt — thriving was the goal, and that is exactly what happened. Secret knowledge unlocked, advancement to the edge of the Sacred Soul Realm, and feats of cultivation no one in history has accomplished before. Now it is time to return home and put that strength to the test. A lot of shady business has been going on while the Berserker was away, and there is going to be hell to pay.
