Fetters of Karma: Book 4 of I Shall Seal the Heavens

Having enjoyed success within the Violet Fate Sect, becoming a Furnace Lord and apprenticing with Patriarch Pill Ghost; Meng Hao's peaceful existence is shattered. Forced to flee after slaying a member of the powerful Ji Clan, who control the Ninth Mountain and Sea, he finds himself in the barbaric Black Lands of the west.

This untamed region is a stark contrast to the civilized Southern Domain, filled with totemic magic and shamanic cultivators who command powerful beasts. Alone once more, Meng Hao must use his skills to survive in this dangerous new environment.

To survive, he must forge his own path, pushing his cultivation to the limits and finding a way to break the fetters of karma imposed upon him by the vengeful Ji Clan.
