Chapter 329: This Is Where Your Karma Ends
Chapter 329: This Is Where Your Karma Ends
Lv Yang burned with killing intent but forced himself to hesitate. This lifetime, he’d resolved to enter the Sword Pavilion and walk the path of righteousness.
“Boom!”
Thunder cracked as Cheng Xian, a Human Immortal from the Myriad Spirit World, appeared before him. Yet another figure intercepted the attack.
“Yu Shao!”
Cheng Xian’s eyes gleamed coldly before erupting into laughter. “Perfect timing! Today, I’ll deal with all of you at once. One day, the Three Immortal Seats will have my name!”
Though the Demon King True Man had just displayed terrifying power—slicing away Minghua Heavenly Immortal, three Earth Immortals, and leaving them all critically wounded—Cheng Xian felt no fear. Instead, his blood boiled with exhilaration.
I could’ve fled earlier…
The thought barely surfaced before he crushed it.
Ye Guyue (Solitary Moon) had intentionally left an opening to retreat, but where he might’ve seized escape before, now only one purpose consumed him:
Destroy Yu Shao. Reclaim the Shenjin!
Driven by this, Cheng Xian channeled his spiritual power, roaring a mantra so thunderous the air trembled:
“Injury! Banish!”
The words reverberated. His battered body regenerated visibly, wounds sealing as his strength surged back to full.
Yu Shao’s expression darkened instantly.
“A Mantra Technique!”
Cultivation in the Mystic Spirit Realm differed from Foundation Building. It didn’t fuse divine abilities but refined a single power to its pinnacle.
The Five Immortal Stages—Ghost, Spirit, Human, Earth, Heaven—each marked progression. Ghost and Spirit Immortals merely accumulated strength, but at Human Immortal, one received heavenly blessings, attuning to the cosmos and discovering a “technique.”
Elevate the technique to a “law,” and one became an Earth Immortal. Elevate the law to a “path,” and one reached Heavenly Immortal. Align that path with Heaven’s Mandate, and one could spread their doctrine across creation, becoming a Supreme.
Cheng Xian, heir to the Mystic Spirit Realm’s supreme lineage, wielded the Mantra Technique—a power destined to become Celestial Edict at Earth Immortal, or even the Ultimate Truth Immortal Dao. Currently, it stood as the realm’s foremost doctrine.
The Mantra Technique embodied the principle that a single word could shape reality, its syllables functioning like divine abilities to unleash miracles.
Now, Cheng Xian used it to suppress his injuries temporarily. But this wasn’t true “words manifest law; law governs all.” The reprieve was fleeting. Once his spiritual power waned, the wounds would return—worse than before.
Prolonged battle favors none. End this swiftly.
Though no flight entered his mind, Cheng Xian remained lucid. Channeling three-tenths of his power into his throat, he uttered:
“Die.”
Life and Death Wuchang—Die was the deadliest word in the Mantra Technique. It locked onto Yu Shao, whose body erupted with deathly aura. Without warning, his breath halted mid-inhale. His face drained to a sickly white as he staggered backward, battling a sudden, overwhelming drowsiness gnawing at his mind.
One strike, and he nearly perished.
Equal in cultivation, Cheng Xian had nearly killed Yu Shao with a single word. The display chilled Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng.
“This one truly has skill.”
“Without our senior’s intervention, facing him alone, the odds would’ve been fifty-fifty.”
“Better still, let him kill that Lv Yang first. Once he’s spent, we’ll claim the Shenjin. Even our senior won’t blame us for inadequate protection.”
After all, divine abilities were indiscriminate. Dying in battle was common.
Exchanging glances, Ye Xingfeng silently drifted behind Lv Yang. Though he wanted Lv Yang dead, the Shenjin was too vital to let Cheng Xian take. He’d let Lv Yang act as a shield first. When Cheng Xian exhausted himself killing Lv Yang, he’d strike.
In an instant, Yu Shao fled. No one blocked Lv Yang now.
Cheng Xian roared again:
“Annihilate!”
This word eclipsed even “Die” in power. Heavenly radiance erupted from his mouth, engulfing Lv Yang as golden threads wove into a net, binding his spiritual body. A crushing, invisible killing intent followed—a guillotine descending inexorably from above.
Proclaim justice first, then strike—that was annihilation.
Simultaneously, Ye Xingfeng battled nearby Human Immortals, ready to seize the treasure.
Yet in the next breath—
Lv Yang lifted his head, smiling faintly. His lips curved, flesh peeling away to reveal billowing, misty vapor.
“Sea of Sorrowful Affliction!”
Granted after returning from the No Heaven Realm, this second Supreme Divine Ability rivaled the Multifloral Marrow in potency, though its mysteries differed entirely.
Lv Yang’s form exploded into a storm of smoke, swallowing half the sky like a raging ocean. Cheng Xian’s “Annihilate” mantra pierced the mist… and vanished.
No effect?
Before anyone could react—
A piercing scream tore from the smoke, choked and agonized.
“Xing Feng!?” Ye Guyue’s face contorted.
Cheng Xian’s full-force strike had missed Lv Yang but struck Ye Xingfeng squarely behind him.
Ye Xingfeng, who’d meant to exploit Lv Yang’s demise—whether he lived or died—to claim the Shenjin, now reeled midair. His flesh evaporated violently, cracks splitting his body as spiritual power spilled uncontrollably.
Worse, he still fought several Mystic Spirit Realm Human Immortals, who seized the moment to strike.
“Boom!”
Blazing lights struck him. His already fractured spiritual body shattered into fragments.
Meanwhile, the smoke receded, revealing Lv Yang. His robes billowed, clouds swirling around him like a celestial being. His handsome face twisted with exaggerated grief:
“Ah! Senior Brother Ye, this is where your karmic fate ends.”
