Defying Fate: I’ll Slay My Way to Immortality with a Mortal Body

Dark cultivation, mortal-focused progression, play the pig to eat the tiger, strategic battles and political intrigue, a vast world, and a vivid ensemble cast. No System. Measured violence, a rise from the lowest ranks, immortal officials and the imperial court, power struggles in the black market, and long-term schemes. Frequent updates throughout. Over 100,000 readers in ten days. Don't let it pile up. Leave comments, keep reading, and follow every update. May good people enjoy peace all their lives! “The world is cold, immortals and demons are illusions, and no supernatural power can outmatch the schemes of the human heart. I was born mortal, trapped in the streets and scorned by all. No one knows that an undying flame burns within this mortal body. The immortal sects monopolize cultivation, the demonic path secretly devours living beings, and the heavens lay a net across the worlds, all treating me as a pawn to be manipulated at will. So I stepped into the game, and took the heavens as my pieces. I don't rely on brute force to crush everything, nor do I cheat with fortuitous encounters. I weigh the costs and benefits, win people's hearts, hold fast to my principles, and advance one careful step at a time. I enter the chaos of the mortal world, break the schemes of the heavens, and, though only a mortal, fight against fate and cut down immortals.”
