Cultivator of the End: I Refine My Own Death

Shadow_delta
In a world where every cultivator seeks eternal life, Rin Xie chooses to cultivate through death. Once the prodigy of a righteous sect, Rin’s life was shattered in a single night—his family slain, his sect erased, and his soul cursed. Left for dead, he awakens buried beneath corpses with only one truth in his heart: “If the heavens want to live forever, then I will become death itself.” Thus begins his forbidden path—the End Dao, a cultivation method fueled not by Qi, but by the mastery of death itself. While others seek ascension, Rin refines every form of death: pain, grief, betrayal, oblivion, even the death of gods. Each death he survives or inflicts becomes a step closer to the final cultivation: the Perfect Death, one powerful enough to destroy the cycle of immortality itself. But the heavens know his end is also theirs. Hunted by immortals, betrayed by fate, and haunted by the versions of himself he could have become, Rin walks the only path from which no one returns—not to transcend life, but to transcend death itself.
