Zhanxian Novel

In Zhanxian by Ren Yuan, Yang Chen, who endured a lifetime of oppression in his past existence, chooses a new path upon rebirth: becoming an executioner. Driven by a sense of duty, he wields his executioner's blade to sever all ties and grudges, silencing those who ascend the Immortal Executioner's Platform. His grim task involves bringing an end to lives across all realms, dispatching humans in the human realm, demons in the demon realm, devils in the devil realm, and immortals in the immortal realm. Though he professes no prior conflict, his role is dictated by obligation, hence his preemptive apology for the inevitable bloodshed. He operates with a purpose to eradicate all lingering resentments and karmic debts through his deadly work.
