Karma Demon God

Ancestor Qiankun hadn't expected Li Xinghe to be this strong either; he must have gained quite a bit from Pangu.

The more he thought about it, the more jealous he grew. That 3001st demon god who shouldn't have existed in the first place, that nobody back then, was now a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

If he could obtain everything Li Xinghe had, he would surely soar to the heavens.

"Thinking you've spent all these years focusing solely on raising your cultivation realm—how foolish."

Ancestor Qiankun sneered coldly. In his view, this idiot Li Xinghe had definitely poured all his effort into advancing his realm and neglected to work on those supreme treasures.

That made him even more at ease. As long as Li Xinghe hadn't refined many of the treasures' restrictions, the power he could unleash would be limited.

"You'll find out who's foolish soon enough." Since Ancestor Qiankun was asking for death, he might as well rob him again.

This new Qiankun Cauldron, though not a supreme treasure, was still formed from the lotus seed pod of the Chaos Green Lotus and wasn't much weaker than the original.

According to the original trajectory of the Primordial World, the Qiankun Cauldron should have been destroyed during the Creation Tribulation.

Now that the Primordial World had re-nurtured one, it proved this treasure had its purpose.

The reason Li Xinghe had kept the Qiankun Cauldron back then, aside from its treasure-refining ability, was most importantly that Nuwa would need it in the future to mend the heavens.

The five-colored stones used to patch the sky were refined with the Qiankun Cauldron—another great merit. Li Xinghe was simply planning ahead.

Originally, he hadn't planned to touch Ancestor Qiankun for now. In the future conflict between immortals and demons, Hongjun was no match for Luohu; he had to join forces with Yang Mei Daoist, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Ancestor Qiankun to defeat him.

Killing Ancestor Qiankun would have a significant impact on later ages. He feared being targeted by the Heavenly Dao—that wasn't something a proper schemer would do.

But since the man had delivered himself to his doorstep, well, sorry. Not killing you didn't mean he couldn't rob you.

Without another word, Ancestor Qiankun directly summoned the new Qiankun Cauldron. The might of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was astonishing; at this moment, his combat power was no weaker than a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Li Xinghe also wanted to test his own strength, so he didn't use any Chaos Supreme Treasures—mainly because he was afraid he might accidentally beat Ancestor Qiankun to death.

Right now, the lowest-grade treasure in his hands was probably the Twelve-Grade White Lotus of Purity, which was roughly on par with the Qiankun Cauldron in quality. Besides, both were split from the same unlucky Chaos Green Lotus.

"You really think I'm nothing without supreme treasures!" Li Xinghe sneered coldly as his Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal mana erupted.

As a reincarnated Chaos Demon God, Ancestor Qiankun cultivated the Law of Space and Time, which was precisely his confidence.

Most Innate Beings in the Primordial World only cultivated mana; a few realized the importance of merit, like the Three Primal Races.

But he never expected Li Xinghe's comprehension of Law Power to surpass his own.

There was a saying in the Chaos World: When time does not emerge, space rules; when fate does not manifest, karma reigns as king.

This referred to the most powerful among the three thousand laws. As for why Chaos was ranked before Karma, it was mainly because his Accompanying Spiritual Treasure was the Chaos Pearl, which let him cheat the system.

Li Xinghe had not only inherited everything from Daoist Shichen and the Lord of Destiny but had also robbed Ancestor Yang Mei.

Over the years, he had thoroughly comprehended that branch of Ancestor Yang Mei's, so he had also made considerable progress in the Law of Space.

A powerhouse who had comprehended the top three laws of Chaos—dealing with mere Ancestor Qiankun was as easy as reaching into his pocket.

With just one strike, the Qiankun Cauldron was sent flying by the White Lotus of Purity.

Ancestor Qiankun's face turned pale. "No, how can you have such high attainment in the Law of Space?"

"High?" Wasn't that obvious? The Creation Merit he alone had obtained was as vast as the entire Primordial World.

He had spent a full half of that Creation Merit on cultivation. Whether it was mana, laws, or refining the restrictions of Chaos Supreme Treasures, he had reached a very impressive level.

The Law of Space was the weakest among them, yet Ancestor Qiankun was already unable to withstand it.

"I don't believe it!" Ancestor Qiankun roared furiously, his aura still rising.

"Accept your fate. This isn't the Chaos World—this is the Primordial World!" The White Lotus of Purity blazed with astonishing light.

Legend had it that among the Four Divine Lotuses, the White Lotus of Purity was the most powerful, even the Qiankun Tower was frozen in place.

Just then, a mysterious Karma Thread extended from the void, directly latching onto Ancestor Qiankun's Accompanying Spiritual Treasure.

"Who's there?" Ancestor Qiankun was shocked. He could no longer sense his connection to the Qiankun Cauldron.

A powerful figure was scheming for his treasure in the shadows. Even if it was only a replica, it was still a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, rare in the current age.

On Li Xinghe's side, he also sensed a mysterious aura trying to sever his connection to the White Lotus of Purity.

But all of this was already within his calculations. Invisibly, the aura of fate enveloped the White Lotus of Purity.

Just as the White Lotus of Purity was about to return to Li Xinghe's side, a barely visible Karma Thread suddenly snagged it.

"Karma, it's you!" Ancestor Qiankun roared, detecting the presence in the shadows.

Li Xinghe had naturally foreseen all of this long ago. He was proficient in the two laws of time and fate; everything was under his control.

"The mighty Karma Demon God, yet a coward who only dares to scheme in the dark." Li Xinghe gave a light shout, and the power of fate directly severed the Karma Thread, returning the White Lotus of Purity to his hand.

When fate does not manifest, karma reigns as king. In the end, the Karma Demon God was still lacking.

A shadowy figure slowly materialized. On his body, Li Xinghe could see countless faint Karma Threads.

Only because he was proficient in the Law of Fate could he see these things; Ancestor Qiankun probably couldn't even make them out.

The Karma Demon God's expression was grim as he stared fixedly at Li Xinghe. "Who exactly are you? Why do you carry the auras of Time and Fate?"

Among the three thousand laws, the Law of Karma ranked near the top and was almost unaffected by other laws—only the Law of Fate could restrain it.

As a former top-ranked demon god of Chaos, he had discerned Li Xinghe's aura through Karma Threads and had been hiding in the shadows all along.

He had only wanted to sneak away the Qiankun Tower and the Pure World White Lotus, but he never expected Li Xinghe to be this terrifying.

As for Ancestor Qiankun's rebuke, he paid it no heed whatsoever.

In the Chaos World, Ancestor Qiankun was no match for him, let alone now.

The Karma Demon God had already reached the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, leaving even Li Xinghe astonished—truly worthy of being one of the top Big Bosses of Chaos.

At present, the entire Primordial World likely had no existence surpassing the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level; the Karma Demon God was already the ceiling.

Facing the Karma Demon God's interrogation, Li Xinghe did not answer. "I originally bore no hostility toward you, but since you snatched my Pure World White Lotus, a karmic bond has been forged. What do you say we do about this?"

"Hmph, you've merely obtained Pangu's gift. Do you truly believe you can contend with a Top-level Demon God?" the Karma Demon God sneered.

Compared to Li Xinghe's strength, he was far more curious about the whereabouts of Shichen and Fate.

As the Karma Demon God, every time a Demon God was born in Chaos, he secretly tied a Karma Thread to them. But before the Creation Tribulation, Shichen and Fate had suddenly lost all trace of their presence, shocking him greatly.

In truth, with such a massive upheaval as the Creation Tribulation, the fact that neither Demon God had shown up clearly suggested they had fallen.

Yet today, he once again sensed the auras of Shichen and Fate on Li Xinghe, leaving him deeply puzzled.
