Causality and Calamity

Immortal Lord Qijue's eyes suddenly bled, a sudden change that stunned everyone.

It should be known that every single one of them had sparred with Immortal Lord Qijue and deeply understood just how tyrannical his strength truly was.

If Lin Daoxuan was the strongest person they had ever met, then Immortal Lord Qijue was second. He could casually unleash all kinds of divine abilities and wondrous techniques, had dabbled in the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, mastering every single one, and had even created the unprecedented Eight Ultimate Arts.

Yet, for such an existence to bleed from his eyes merely from prying into Gu Qingfeng's secrets was truly too terrifying.

Just as everyone was reeling in horror, a miserable shriek rang out.

It was Immortal Lord Bi She.

Endless tentacles spread out from Gu Qingfeng's body, viciously piercing into Immortal Lord Bi She's body. Like water hoses, they frantically extracted her power.

Immortal Lord Bi She's body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Save me quickly!!" she cried out in pain, jolting the crowd awake.

Immortal Lord Qijue shouted angrily, "He controls calamity and simply cannot be killed! Our only plan now is to seal him first."

"Seal? What kind of seal in this world can trap a calamity?" Ditian frowned.

"Karma! The power of karma can!" Immortal Lord Qijue spoke rapidly. "Calamities are boundless, but karma is inescapable. Only power of an equivalent level can keep him in check. As long as karma exists on a person, they will inevitably be unable to break free from the power of karma.

Quickly shatter his physical body, and I will unleash the power of karma!"

The other Immortal Lords exchanged a glance and fiercely struck out.

Ditian summoned his immortal sword, which transformed into three thousand. The three thousand immortal swords formed a humming array, and countless powers of laws surged forth like a storm, sweeping toward Gu Qingfeng to strangle him.

Immortal Lord Leiyao manipulated the five thunders, evolving a chaotic sea of lightning to frantically suppress him.

The rest also brought out their trump cards, continuously wearing down Gu Qingfeng's body.

A cold glint flashed in Immortal Lord Qijue's eyes as he began to build up his power. A bizarre aura erupted from his body as his hands continuously formed hand seals.

He knew very well that facing such a boundless calamity, trying to obliterate it was simply impossible, no different from a person trying to drink the ocean dry.

The only way was to use an equally monstrous power to restrain him, and that was the power of karma. The power of karma was absolutely the most troublesome power in this world.

It was like dumping nuclear wastewater into the ocean. If you can't drink the ocean dry, you pollute it and entangle with it forever.

No one can escape the fate of karma!

Even the legendary Immortal Emperors could only manage to remain untainted by karma.

Remaining untainted did not mean they were not wary of it; Immortal Emperors would not easily or willingly involve themselves in karma.

Of course, with Immortal Lord Qijue's strength, he could not truly control karma. He could only leverage the power of karma, but merely leveraging it was enough to shock the world.

If Lin Daoxuan had not appeared out of nowhere, Immortal Lord Qijue would definitely be considered the number one genius of all time.

His innate talent was already extraordinary, and he also possessed the Flame of the Epoch, which was equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants to forge his own path.

Leveraging the power of karma was absolutely Immortal Lord Qijue's strongest killing move, and it was the most powerful of the eight peerless divine abilities he had created.

Immortal Lord Qijue was confident that even Lin Daoxuan at his peak could not block the power of karma. However, when the two fought back then, he did not use it.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but that he couldn't.

Because with his strength, leveraging the power of karma was simply too difficult. To put it bluntly, the skill's cast time was too long, and in a real battle, there was no chance to use it.

But now it was different; now he had helpers to restrain Gu Qingfeng.

"Are you ready yet!?" Immortal Lord Leiyao roared anxiously.

At this moment, Immortal Lord Bi She was already at her last breath. Even with their restraint, constantly shattering Gu Qingfeng's body and slightly slowing down his devouring speed, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Immortal Lord Leiyao and the others never cared about Immortal Lord Bi She's life or death. They simply did not want to see Gu Qingfeng successfully devour Immortal Lord Bi She and recover his former strength.

"Everyone, get out of the way!!" Immortal Lord Qijue roared at this moment, veins bulging on his face.

The other Immortal Lords instantly dodged, leaving the attack range.

"Forbidden Karma!!"

Accompanied by Immortal Lord Qijue's furious roar, endless bizarre red light suddenly erupted from his palm. The red light condensed into a mass, resembling a beating ball of red yarn.

The next moment, countless bizarre red threads extended from it, like densely packed blood vessels, spreading across the void and striking toward Gu Qingfeng.

Seeing this bizarre strike, Gu Qingfeng did not act arrogantly. He knew very well how stunningly talented Immortal Lord Qijue was. Since such a person believed that the power of karma could deal with a calamity, there must be a basis for it.

Therefore, he directly let go of the dying Immortal Lord Bi She. His entire person exploded with a bang, transforming into a sky full of calamities in an attempt to dodge the attack.

Although Gu Qingfeng was arrogant and looked down on everyone, he was no fool. Why risk himself?

After he transformed into a sky full of calamities, those bizarre threads of karma actually escaped into the void and disappeared, as if they had lost their target and dissipated on their own.

Immortal Lord Leiyao and the others looked defeated.

"Did it fail?"

The next moment, Gu Qingfeng's body returned once again from the endless calamities. He grabbed Immortal Lord Bi She and thoroughly sucked her dry.

Immortal Lord Bi She instantly turned to ash and vanished like smoke.

"It didn't fail!" A confident smile appeared on Immortal Lord Qijue's face, showing he had victory in his grasp.

Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, not knowing what Immortal Lord Qijue was so confident about, considering he had clearly dodged the Forbidden Karma.

However, the next second, Gu Qingfeng realized something was wrong. He looked down and found that his body was actually entangled with dense red threads that were invisible to the naked eye.

The red threads connected to the unseen void, piercing through the past, present, and future.

"Hahaha, no one can escape the fate of karma! The power of karma ignores time and space. As long as you have karma on you, you can never escape!

Lin Daoxuan, you have been hit by my strongest divine ability, the Forbidden Karma. I didn't have the chance to use it back then, otherwise, the victor of that year could only have been me!!" Immortal Lord Qijue threw his head back and laughed heartily, as if venting all his past grievances.

Gu Qingfeng tried to move, only to find that an unseen, intangible, and bizarre power was restricting him from the shadows.

He seemed to have lost control of his own body, as if every muscle had a mind of its own.

The power within his body also gave no response, like a stone sinking into the ocean.

"This is the power of karma?" Gu Qingfeng muttered.

"Hahaha, Lin Daoxuan, did you ever think you would see this day?" Immortal Lord Qijue laughed wildly and with great satisfaction.

The others also began to smile.

"Lin Daoxuan, hand over the Flame of the Epoch and your Supreme Sword Dao, and we might consider sparing your life!"

"Jiejiejie..." Gu Qingfeng suddenly let out a sinister laugh, looking down at the crowd with a disdainful gaze, as if watching a bunch of jumping clowns.

"You dare to laugh when death is at hand?"

"The power of karma only restricts this Emperor. Even if restricted, this Emperor remains immortal and indestructible. You want to kill me? Are you even worthy?"
