Jiang Ping An immersed himself in comprehending Hell of Illusory Interdependence.
Did he truly not know that comprehending this Divine Art might cause him tremendous harm?
Of course he knew.
His mind was clear as a mirror.
It was precisely because he understood the danger that he had hesitated at first and considered studying the relatively safer spatial Divine Art.
So what had made him change his mind at the last moment?
An extraordinarily bold, even mad, idea had flashed through his mind.
The core of Hell of Illusory Interdependence was to inflict damage by drawing out and igniting an enemy's karmic burdens and sins.
The heavier the enemy's karmic burdens and the greater their sins, the more terrifying the ignited Karmic Fire would be—and the stronger its backlash.
Conversely, if the enemy was an ascetic who spent years in seclusion, avoided karmic ties, and carried few burdens, the art would struggle to harm them.
But what if he turned it around?
What if he ignited his own karmic burdens, then forced that destructive power onto his enemy as an attack?
