278: Fire Lotus

“Wu Ming Gui, Wu Ming Gui.”

The man muttered the name, then reacted with a flush of anger.

“You’re f*cking with me, aren’t you?”

“Yes! I’m f*cking with you.”

Hearing Mo Chen’s righteous reply, the man was furious.

With a wave of his hand, a wolf-tooth club appeared in his grasp.

Just as he was about to attack, Mo Chen, like a ghost, was already in front of him.

Without any violent movement from Mo Chen, he simply pointed a finger at the man’s glabella. The man’s eyes immediately lost their focus, and he collapsed to the ground.

Immediately after, an unknown flame ignited, burning his body to ashes, and he completely vanished between heaven and earth.

During this time, the man didn't even have time to let out a scream.

Slaying generals before the formation, boosting our morale, extinguishing the enemy’s arrogance!

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept over the Core Formation Cultivators, and only then did they react:

“How dare that scoundrel!”

“You’re courting death!”

A group of Core Formation Disciples, each displaying their Divine Ability, swarmed towards Mo Chen in a dense mass.

But halfway through their charge, they suddenly stopped, looking up at what was behind Mo Chen, their faces showing surprise and doubt.

At this moment, behind Mo Chen, a hundred colossal warships were suspended in the air.

A dense mass of cavalry, led by two hundred Core Formation Cultivators, streamed out of the city.

These Cultivators felt a sense of dread when they saw these two hundred Core Formation Cultivators.

But when they clearly saw the warhorses beneath these cavalrymen, that dread turned into horror!

Seventh-Rank Earth-Splitting Steeds, comparable to the Core Formation Rank!

Ten thousand of them!?

Half of these two hundred Core Formation Cultivators were Wo Niu Peak Disciples.

The elite soldiers of Great Abyss, who had not reached Foundation Establishment, did not have the ability to control Earth-Splitting Steeds.

However, using auxiliary Spirit Beasts like Earth-Splitting Steeds alone could not unleash their full Battle Intent.

Therefore, each of these Wo Niu Peak Disciples controlled one hundred beasts, leading one hundred cavalrymen to form a small team, which allowed them to perfectly unleash the cavalry’s Battle Intent.

Just as everyone slowly retreated, their gaze fixed on the cavalry below, they saw something resembling a Pill Furnace suddenly shoot out from the warships.

Feeling the faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations from the Pill Furnace, someone frowned:

“What is that thing?”

Saying that, he flew up and steadily caught the exploding pill.

Just as he was about to extend his Divine Sense, the exploding pill in his hand exploded with a loud bang, tearing the person into pieces!

His Physical Body turned into a rain of blood, scattering onto the people below.

The enemy Cultivators’ expressions changed drastically, losing all Battle Intent, and they frantically fled towards their army behind them.

“Kill!”

Mo Chen uttered a single word, and the warships flew, the cavalry roared!

The Wo Niu Peak Disciples each released their own lifebound Spirit Beasts and joined the battlefield.

First, the exploding pills bombarded, then the cavalry delivered the finishing blow.

Great Abyss already had overwhelming strength against these soldiers.

Coupled with the cooperation of the warships, the enemy had no power to retaliate.

However, the cunning Core Formation Disciples of the enemy kept burrowing into the crowds, using the five hundred thousand Mortal army as a shield to delay Great Abyss, seeking an opportunity to escape in the gaps.

At first, the Tai Shang Sect Disciples were killing with gusto, but as they felt more and more Karma accumulating on them, they hesitated.

Although the Luck gained after the Fu Long Court would wash away this Karma.

However, the more Karma there was, the more Luck was needed.

If all the Luck they gained was used to wash away Karma, wouldn’t their efforts be in vain?

And there was still a faint trace of Karma, passing through them, lingering over the Tai Shang Sect.

However, as soon as this Karma touched the Tai Shang Sect’s Luck Golden Dragon, it instantly dissipated like snow meeting intense fire.

Of course, this was because there wasn’t much Karma, so the Luck Golden Dragon could completely withstand it.

Gu Liangyuan watched this scene, and just as he was about to react, the long-unheard System prompt suddenly sounded:

“Ding, the host’s intention has been detected, and a System task has been issued:”

“Task Name: Karma Fire Red Lotus.”

“Task Content: Collect one million Karma.”

“Task Reward: Evolvable Divine Ability: Karma Fire Red Lotus.”

“Does the host accept?”

Name: Karma Fire Red Lotus

Rank: System Rank

Effect: Condenses one’s own Karma into a Karma Fire Red Lotus, which can be used as a means of flight or attack. The more Karma the host has, the stronger its power will be.

Note: For ordinary people, monstrous Karma will cause the Lightning Tribulation during Undergoing Tribulation to double or even increase by dozens of times, but the host is not governed by the Heavenly Dao, so there is no such concern.

Gu Liangyuan looked at this task and clicked to accept it without hesitation.

Gu Liangyuan himself had never feared this Karma; he was only afraid that too much killing Karma would affect the Luck of Great Abyss and Tai Shang.

Now with this System reward, not only did he not have to worry about Karma, but Karma would instead benefit him.

Good, good, good!

Just as the Tai Shang Sect Disciples hesitated, Gu Liangyuan’s ancient voice echoed over half of the Eastern Continent:

“I am the Cult Master of the Tai Shang Sect and Supreme Jade Pool. The Karma created by the two sects is not the fault of the Disciples, but my fault!”

“All the countless killing Karma, the sin lies with me!”

“Those who do not surrender, kill them all!”

“Those who surrender later, also kill them!”

As soon as Gu Liangyuan uttered these words, the Karma lingering above the heads of the Tai Shang Sect Disciples seemed to find its source, directly bypassing the Luck Golden Dragon and continuously surging towards Forget-Love Peak.

As a Cult Master, Gu Liangyuan naturally had the responsibility to bear Karma.

It was only because of the protection of the Luck Golden Dragon that not a speck of Karma touched him.

It was in accordance with the Heavenly Dao’s rules for Gu Liangyuan to bear all the Karma.

Gu Liangyuan’s sudden declaration caught everyone in the main hall off guard.

Watching the Karma continuously surge into Gu Liangyuan’s body, everyone’s expressions changed simultaneously.

For them, Gu Liangyuan’s life was far more precious than the lives of these Disciples.

If Gu Liangyuan could not pass the Heavenly Tribulation due to Karma, causing his cultivation to stop there, that would truly be a sin.

After absorbing this Karma, Gu Liangyuan was surprised to find that this Karma could also be absorbed by his Dantian, thereby transforming into Chaos Qi.

This gave Gu Liangyuan a deeper understanding of his Taì Sù Chaos Body.

All things originated from Chaos.

However, Gu Liangyuan could not re-evolve Karma from Chaos Spiritual Qi, at least not at his current stage.

Thinking of the Karma Fire Red Lotus reward, Gu Liangyuan compressed this Karma into a seed and hid it in the Jade Pond within his Dantian.

However, this Karma was less than ten thousand; it was still far, far from one million.

After doing all this, Gu Liangyuan slowly opened his eyes.

Meeting everyone’s worried gazes, he smiled slightly.

He gently shook his body, and a clear light lingered around him, showing no trace of Karma.

Gu Liangyuan knew what everyone wanted to say. He didn’t explain too much, only saying:

“You all don’t need to worry. Since I dared to say those words, I naturally have confidence.”

“This Karma will not only not affect me, but on the contrary, the more Karma there is, the more beneficial it will be to me.”

If these words had come from anyone else, everyone’s first reaction would certainly have been disbelief.

But everyone had already determined that Gu Liangyuan was the Reincarnation of a great mighty figure, and coupled with Gu Liangyuan’s repeated creation of miracles, they had unwavering faith in his methods.

They only sighed in their hearts, that there was such a miraculous technique in the world, capable of even absorbing Karma.
