Karma Demon God

Ancestor Qiankun had not expected Li Xinghe to have grown this powerful. He must have received quite a few benefits from Pangu.

The more this was the case, the more jealous he became. A three-thousand-and-first Demon God who should never have existed, a minor nobody back then, had now actually reached the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

If he could obtain everything Li Xinghe possessed, he would surely soar to the heavens in a single bound.

"I suppose all these years, you put all your effort into raising your cultivation realm. How foolish."

Ancestor Qiankun sneered. In his view, this idiot Li Xinghe must have been single-mindedly focused on improving his realm, without spending any effort on those supreme treasures.

That put him even more at ease. As long as Li Xinghe had not refined many of the treasures' restrictions, the power he could wield would be limited.

"You'll soon find out who the fool really is." Since Ancestor Qiankun was courting death, Li Xinghe would rob him again.

Though this new Qiankun Cauldron was not a supreme treasure, it had been formed from the seedpod of the Chaos Green Lotus. It was not much weaker than the original Qiankun Cauldron.

According to the original course of the Primordial Wilderness, the Qiankun Cauldron should have been shattered during the Creation Tribulation.

Now that the Primordial World had nurtured another one, it proved this treasure must serve a purpose.

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

The five-colored stones used to mend the heavens would be refined in the Qiankun Cauldron. That would be another great Merit, and Li Xinghe was merely planning ahead.

Originally, he had not intended to make a move against Ancestor Qiankun for the time being. During the future conflict between immortals and demons, Hongjun would not be Luohu's match. Only by joining forces with Daoist Yang Mei, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Ancestor Qiankun would he defeat him.

Killing Ancestor Qiankun would have considerable repercussions for later generations. Li Xinghe feared being targeted by the Heavenly Dao. That was not something a qualified old schemer would do.

But now that he had delivered himself to Li Xinghe's door, there was no need to be polite. Not killing him did not mean Li Xinghe could not rob him.

Without another word, Ancestor Qiankun directly summoned the new Qiankun Cauldron. The might of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was astonishing, and his combat strength was now no weaker than that of a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Li Xinghe also happened to want to test his own combat strength. He did not use a Chaos Supreme Treasure, mainly because he was afraid of accidentally beating Ancestor Qiankun to death.

Among the treasures in his possession, the lowest grade was probably the Twelve-Grade White Lotus of Purity. It happened to be about the same quality as the Qiankun Cauldron, and both had been derived from that unlucky Chaos Green Lotus.

"Do you really think I'm worthless without supreme treasures?" Li Xinghe sneered as the mana of a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal erupted.

As the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God, Ancestor Qiankun cultivated the Law of Qian Kun. That was precisely the source of his confidence.

Most Innate Beings of the Primordial World cultivated only mana. A small number understood the importance of Merit, such as the Three Primal Races.

But he had not expected the Law Power Li Xinghe comprehended to be even stronger than his own.

There was a saying in Chaos: when time did not emerge, space reigned supreme; when Destiny did not reveal itself, Cause and Effect ruled as emperor.

This referred to the strongest major laws among the three thousand laws. As for why Chaos ranked ahead of Cause and Effect, it was mainly because his Accompanying Spiritual Treasure was the Chaos Pearl, allowing him to exploit a loophole.

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 long since thoroughly comprehended that branch of Ancestor Yang Mei's. Thus, he had attained considerable mastery over the Law of Space as well.

For someone who had comprehended the top three laws of Chaos, dealing with a mere Ancestor Qiankun was effortless.

With just one strike, the Qiankun Cauldron was sent flying by the Pure World White Lotus.

Ancestor Qiankun's face turned pale. "No, how can you possess such profound attainments in the Law of Space?"

"Profound?" Wasn't that obvious? The Creation Merit he had obtained alone equaled that of the entire Primordial Wilderness.

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

The Law of Space was merely his weakest one. Even so, Ancestor Qiankun could no longer withstand it.

"I refuse to believe this!" Ancestor Qiankun roared as his aura continued to rise.

"Accept your fate. This is not the Chaos World, but the Primordial Wilderness!" The Pure World White Lotus bloomed with dazzling radiance.

Among the legendary Four Divine Lotuses, the Pure World White Lotus was the strongest. Even the Qiankun Tower was immobilized.

At that moment, a mysterious Karma Thread extended from the Void and directly tugged at Ancestor Qiankun's Accompanying Spiritual Treasure.

"Who is it?" Ancestor Qiankun was greatly alarmed. He could no longer sense his connection to the Qiankun Cauldron.

A powerful expert was secretly plotting to steal his treasure. Though it was merely an imitation, it was still a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, something rarely seen in this age.

On Li Xinghe's side, he also sensed a mysterious aura attempting to sever his connection with the Pure World White Lotus.

But he had already accounted for all of this. Invisibly, the aura of Destiny enveloped the Pure World White Lotus.

Just as the Pure World White Lotus was about to return to Li Xinghe's side, an almost imperceptibly thin Karma Thread suddenly caught hold of it.

"Cause and Effect, it's you!" Ancestor Qiankun roared, having detected the presence lurking in the shadows.

Li Xinghe had naturally divined all of this long ago. He was proficient in both the Law of Time and the Law of Destiny; everything was under his control.

"A dignified Karma Demon God, yet you're nothing but a rat, only daring to scheme in the shadows." Li Xinghe gave a sharp shout. The power of Destiny directly severed the Karma Thread, and the Pure World White Lotus returned to his hand.

When Destiny did not reveal itself, Cause and Effect ruled as emperor. In the end, the Karma Demon God still fell short.

An illusory figure slowly emerged. Upon him, Li Xinghe saw countless indistinct Karma Threads.

Only because Li Xinghe was proficient in the Law of Destiny could he see such things. Even Ancestor Qiankun likely could not see them clearly.

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

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

As one of the highest-ranked Demon Gods in Chaos, he had judged Li Xinghe's aura through Karma Threads and had remained hidden in the shadows.

Originally, he had only intended to quietly take the Qiankun Tower and the Pure World White Lotus. He had not expected Li Xinghe to be so terrifying.

He paid no attention whatsoever to Ancestor Qiankun's rebuke.

In the Chaos World, Ancestor Qiankun had not been his opponent, let alone now.

The Karma Demon God had already reached the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, which greatly surprised Li Xinghe. As expected of one of Chaos's foremost great powers.

At present, there was likely no existence in the entire Primordial World that had surpassed the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. The Karma Demon God was already at the very peak.

Facing the Karma Demon God's question, Li Xinghe did not answer. "I originally bore you no hostility, but you tried to seize my Pure World White Lotus. Cause and Effect has already been established between us, so tell me, what should be done about it?"

"Hmph. You merely received Pangu's gift. Do you really think you can contend against a top-level Demon God?" Cause and Effect said disdainfully.

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

As the Karma Demon God, whenever a Demon God was born in Chaos, he would secretly tie a Karma Thread to them. Yet before the Creation Tribulation, Shichen and Destiny had suddenly lost their auras, greatly shocking him.

In truth, during such a massive upheaval as the Creation Tribulation, neither Demon God had appeared. They had clearly most likely perished.

Yet today, he had sensed the auras of Shichen and Destiny from Li Xinghe once more, leaving him utterly perplexed.
