The Defiant Cultivator's Counterattack

In a world where spiritual roots are held as the sole measure of one's heavenly destiny, the masses accept their ordained fates without question. The protagonist, however, chooses a radically different path—by deliberately crippling his own meridians, he sets out to defy the very vault of heaven itself. While other cultivators rely on innate talent and favorable conditions to advance, he anchors his journey on an inverse-fate dao foundation, turning the very logic of cultivation on its head. The more he is suppressed, the greater his power swells; the more grievous his injuries, the more readily he shatters through bottlenecks. Even when cornered in absolute despair, he rises time and again, overturning the natural order and proving that destiny is never set in stone.
