Emperor of the Prismatic Heavens
The heavens sealed a power so forbidden it could rewrite creation. Then a dying divine beast placed it into the hands of a nobody... and fate cracked. Qi Shan Wei was born in a forgotten corner of the mortal world-meant for an ordinary life, an ordinary death. But in a single encounter, he inherits a fragment of the Prismatic Divine Core, an impossible legacy hunted for millions of years by immortal sects, ancient clans, and beings who rule stars like kingdoms. That fragment is not a gift. It is a summons. From the moment it awakens, the cosmos turns its gaze toward him-fate-bending spirits, heavenly geniuses, realm-devouring gods... all drawn by the rumor of a power that commands the seven Prismatic Forces that govern existence itself. To survive, Shan Wei must break through faster than the age can comprehend. To rise, he must master laws that were never meant for mortals. To rule, he must uncover the prophecy buried in the forgotten heavens-one that dares to speak of an Eternal Emperor who will decide which realms live... and which are erased. From mortal dust to celestial supremacy- this is the legend of Qi Shan Wei, the man who will make the heavens kneel. © Kishtika., 2025 All rights reserved.

Jiang Tian's Ascent

In this broken cosmos, Jiang Tian rises from obscurity-a wanderer bound by fate, carrying within him a flame older than the heavens themselves. Hunted by sects, spirits, and immortals, he embarks on a journey to reclaim the Star Map, an ancient relic said to reveal the path to the First Flame, the source of all creation-and destruction. But every step toward power awakens new enemies and old truths. The lines between mortal and god blur; allies hide divine secrets; and the shadows whisper of a forgotten war that once consumed existence.

Across countless worlds, from celestial palaces to cursed wastelands, the legend of Jiang Tian ignites. His destiny is not to rule or obey-but to redefine what it means to be human, divine, and eternal. For the flame he carries does not just burn-it remembers.

Primordial Tribulation: Sovereign of Yin and Yang
Novel Synopsis Title: Primordial Tribulation: Sovereign of Yin and Yang Genres: Wuxia Fantasy | Cultivation | Immortal-Demon War | Reincarnation Fate or rebellion-what will he choose? Lu Qingyun, once the most insignificant "discarded disciple" of the Yunhai Sword Sect, was born with a forbidden bloodline - the clash of the Azure Dragon's blood and the Solar Demon Spirit. His cultivation was crippled from the start, mocked and despised by his peers. Everything changed the day he accidentally entered the sect's forbidden ground - the Ten Thousand Sword Tomb - and encountered the lingering soul of a demon sovereign. Under its guidance, he began cultivating the heaven-defying Soul Mantra. By day, he remained a lowly janitor in the Scripture Pavilion. By night, he became a lone cultivator, walking the razor's edge between demon and immortal. When dark forces reawaken and a series of brutal murders shakes the martial world, Lu Qingyun is forced into a trial that leads him to cross paths with Lin Wanqing - the sect's untouchable prodigy. She carries the power of the Lunar Sword Soul, a force destined to resonate with his Solar Demon Spirit. Together, they uncover a truth buried for millennia: their bond is no coincidence, but the continuation of a vow forged by the Lunar Sword Immortal and the Solar Demon Lord during the great war between immortals and demons. Their love and bloodlines become the center of a conflict that threatens all three realms. From the mortal world to the Nine Heavens, from the abyss of the demon realm to the sea of primordial chaos, Lu Qingyun must merge the power of dragon and demon within him, reforge the legendary Nine-Heaven Sword, and face the rulers of both immortals and demons. Only by turning love into a blade, soul into a sword, can he shatter destiny itself - and transcend the Primordial Tribulation to become the Sovereign of Yin and Yang.
