Dragon Martial Continent, where strength reigns supreme. Xiao Shubei, an unparalleled master who cultivated the three great paths of Martial Dao, Alchemy, and Formations—bearing the titles of Martial Emperor, Pill Emperor, and Formation Emperor—fell into deviation while attempting to break through to a higher realm. His cultivation was ruined, and he was besieged by enemies. After a bloody battle at Tianjian Peak, he ultimately fell into the Abyss of Broken Souls.

In this life, he vows to slay all enemies, shatter the heavens, and become the true master of heaven and earth—the Lord of the Phoenix Blade.

Set in Lucknow, India, this novel follows a severe heat wave from its first weather warning to its devastating human cost. Through the eyes of radio journalist Kavita, emergency doctor Arjun, and poor families living under tin roofs, the story shows how extreme heat is not only a natural disaster, but also a test of society.

A professor meets Minhua Zhang, a Chinese scholar living in the United States, through their shared Christian faith. Believing her sincere and trustworthy, he helps bring her to Dongjia Medical University, build a research team, establish laboratories and research programs, write grant proposals, and secure institutional support.
