My Demonic Path is a Dead End

Xie Wuchang, the dreaded Sovereign of Corporeal Dissonance, was a master of a brutal cultivation path that bent the world to his will. His ambition cost him everything when a forbidden technique shattered his soul, reincarnating him into the body of Meng Hao, a village idiot mocked for his weakness. Armed with his fearsome past-life knowledge, Xie Wuchang begins his ascent anew, effortlessly crushing arrogant young masters and uncovering forgotten treasures, all while plotting a merciless return to the apex. He sees this new life as a second chance to perfect his tyrannical arts. But the world has changed. A wise, enigmatic elder takes an interest in him, and a silent, observant girl from his past seems to know a truth he cannot grasp. With every curb-stomp battle that proves his old ways superior, he unknowingly accumulates a 'Karmic Dissonance' that seals his fate. Is his peerless knowledge truly the key to ultimate power, or is it the very thing preventing him from achieving true immortality?
