Each cry was sharper than the last.
Each cry was more grating than the last.
Each cry... reached deeper into the soul than the last.
Any other cultivator would have had their Dao heart shaken upon hearing these words.
Especially a cultivator like Sha Wujin, who had proven his Dao through slaughter.
The more he killed, the heavier his karmic burden became.
The heavier the karmic burden, the more fragile the Dao heart.
The smile on Deer Strength Immortal's lips deepened.
Everything Sha Wujin faced was an assault aimed directly at the foundation of his Dao heart.
They were words meant to destroy the heart.
Any cultivator who had proven their Dao through slaughter would have been thrown into turmoil upon hearing them.
Because they were true.
These lives and this blood had all become karmic burdens, carved into his Dao heart.
Normally, they could not be seen.
Because his killing intent was strong enough.
Killing intent could suppress karmic burdens.
Just as blazing fire could suppress ice.
But once the killing intent loosened even slightly, the karmic burden would strike back.
Like floodwaters bursting through a dam.
Once unleashed, they would be impossible to stop.
This was the moment Deer Strength Immortal had been waiting for.
Waiting for Sha Wujin's killing intent to waver.
Waiting for the karmic burden to strike back.
Waiting for his Dao heart to collapse.
Then Sha Wujin would fall from the hundred-zhang platform.
And lose this match.
Just like that Dragon Clan prince.
But what Deer Strength Immortal did not know was this.
The moment he awaited would never come.
Because Sha Wujin's Dao heart had long ceased to be an ordinary Dao heart.
It had endured things ten thousand times more terrifying than these voices.
The Ranking System's punishments.
What kind of punishment
