Why Does My Cultivation Only Make Me More Unhinged?

The man once known as Li Chen, infamous under the title Heaven Thief, was a peerless powerhouse—wielding forbidden techniques that defied the heavens and turned men into mindless puppets.

Feared by the world and branded as its greatest enemy, his terrifying path began in tragedy: a broken childhood, a shattered foundation, and an untimely death at the hands of a legendary foe in the final battle.

He thought that was the end.

Until he opened his eyes…

And found himself reborn—returned to his youth, to the very moment when he was still weak and insignificant.

Li Chen stared at his thin, frail hands—then sneered coldly.

“This time… I’ll grasp the world in my palm.”

“And the immortal path? It won't escape me.”

Reborn with the memories of his former life, Li Chen lays low and schemes from the shadows—treading a twisted and unmatched road to power. No rules. No mercy. No limits.

A new life.

A darker rise.

An immortal path soaked in blood.
