Primordial Wilderness: Mythical Grand Unity, Saints Beg Me Not to Show Off

Karmic Debt is the most troublesome thing in the Primordial Wilderness. Even the Ancestral Dragon of yesteryear was helpless against it. Could Ao Chen actually have a way?

But thinking back, the unfathomable strength Ao Chen had just displayed, along with that peculiar Dao resonance independent of the Primordial Wilderness, perhaps he really did possess some unknown means?

"Good!"

A glimmer of hope reignited in the Azure Dragon's eyes as he looked at Ao Chen and spoke solemnly.

"Since you have such confidence, go ahead and try! From now on, you may act freely within the Dragon Abyss forbidden ground! If you need anything, just say the word!"

"However, you truly must not call me 'ancestor' anymore. Given your current cultivation and strength, addressing me as 'Daoist friend' will suffice."

The Azure Dragon gazed at Ao Chen with admiration, a look of anticipation in his eyes. With Ao Chen's present power, calling him 'ancestor' was no longer appropriate.

"Daoist friend?"

Ao Chen was taken aback, but then he didn't refuse. He nodded slightly.

"Fine!"

He had karmic ties with the Dragon Clan, but he felt no real sense of belonging to them. After all, though he had become Ao Chen, he was ultimately not the previous self who had struggled for the Dragon Clan.

He had his own thoughts. Calling the Azure Dragon 'ancestor' had indeed felt a bit awkward to him. Since the Azure Dragon himself had brought it up, he naturally wouldn't decline.

"Good." The Azure Dragon laughed heartily, then led Ao Chen deeper into the Dragon Abyss.

And so, Ao Chen temporarily settled in this place—the Dragon Clan's most forbidden ground, where karmic debt was heaviest.

He did not act hastily. Instead, each day, he sat cross-legged in the core area where karmic debt was most dense, carefully observing and sensing the vast karmic debt that clung to the Dragon Clan's elders and even permeated the entire Dragon Abyss.

This karmic debt was pitch-black like ink, viscous like a swamp. It not only contained the negative aura of slaughter and destruction but also wove together the Dragon Clan's past glory, their unwillingness, and the karmic shackles brought by their grand vow to eternally guard the Four Seas.

"Truly complex, but its essence is still a kind of 'debt' based on the operation of the Primordial Wilderness's Heavenly Dao."

Divine Light swirled in Ao Chen's eyes as his Heaven-Defying Comprehension activated at full power.

"My Mythical Grand Unity Method stands independent of the Primordial Wilderness's Heavenly Dao, forming its own system. Since I can shed karmic debt myself, there's no reason I can't directly extract the karmic debt of others?"

A bold and insane idea gradually took shape in his mind!

The Mythical Method, after all, did not exist in this world. In theory, it could ignore Heavenly Dao karma and directly refine karmic debt!

But the specifics still needed testing.

With the thought, he acted!

Ao Chen calmed his mind, combining his understanding from the Great Dao Origin Scripture and his grasp of karmic debt, and began attempting to create a heaven-defying method specifically for refining the Dragon Clan's karmic debt!

With his Heaven-Defying Comprehension and the experience from the Great Dao Origin Scripture, Ao Chen didn't take long to create the method.

In just a few hundred years, a brand-new divine ability appeared in Ao Chen's mind. It was called—

Chapter 44: Azure Dragon: You succeeded, yet you're still unhappy with the efficiency?

Deep within the Dragon Abyss, near the ancient palace surrounded by countless dragon bones, Ao Chen sat cross-legged, a mysterious and profound aura swirling around him.

His eyes were tightly shut, his Heaven-Defying Comprehension operating at full power. In his sea of consciousness, countless runes concerning karmic debt, causality, time and space, and his own Mythical Grand Unity Method collided, deduced, and combined in a frenzy.

He was attempting to create an unprecedented, heaven-defying divine ability specifically targeting the Dragon Clan's heavy karmic debt!

Time flowed slowly. Who knew how long passed—perhaps months, perhaps years.

Finally, Ao Chen's eyes snapped open!

Within his gaze, it seemed as if suns and moons sank, stars and rivers were born and died. A self-contained, source-piercing Dao resonance flickered across his body and vanished!

It was done!

After countless deductions and attempts, a divine ability specifically for dissolving karmic debt had fully taken shape in his mind!

This method was called Trace Origin to Transform Karma. Its core was to use his Mythical Grand Unity Method's unique control over the power of time and space to forcibly reverse the flow of time, seeking out the original "source" node of every strand of karmic debt clinging to the Dragon Clan.

Then, based on the transcendent characteristic of his Mythical Great Dao—"not existing in the world, not stained by karma"—he would act like an outsider, forcibly "stripping" these karmic debts, which should have been tightly bound to the Dragon Clan's fate, from their temporal nodes of origin. Finally, he would use the power of the Star River Universe to completely refine or annihilate them.

This method was truly heaven-defying, ignoring causality. Only the Mythical Grand Unity Method, independent of the Primordial Wilderness's Heavenly Dao, could make it possible.

Ao Chen stood up, his form flickering as he appeared before the Azure Dragon, who was struggling nearby to suppress the backlash of his own karmic debt.

Sensing Ao Chen's presence, the Azure Dragon slowly opened his weary dragon eyes, a hint of inquiry in his gaze.

"Daoist friend Azure Dragon, I have not failed your trust. I have created a divine ability that may be worth a try to dissolve the karmic debt on your person."

A confident smile appeared on Ao Chen's face.

"What?"

The Azure Dragon's ancient body trembled violently, his eyes bursting with disbelief.

"Daoist friend, are you joking with me?"

Dissolve karmic debt? And the Dragon Clan's massive karmic debt accumulated over countless eons? How could that be possible!

Since ancient times, aside from merit and luck, no divine ability or method had ever been heard of that could directly dissolve such heavy karmic debt!

Earlier, when Ao Chen said he would create a method, the Azure Dragon had only taken it as comfort. He hadn't thought much of it.

Besides, Ao Chen's strength was extraordinary; perhaps he could find some other way out for the Dragon Clan.

He never expected that Ao Chen would actually go all the way and now claim to have succeeded in creating the method!

On the scene, Ao Chen did not explain much, only saying, "Naturally, I am not seeking amusement. If you do not believe me, I can test it on the spot—it just so happens I wish to verify a few things as well."

"To be honest, I have yet to attempt this method myself. However..."

"However what?" the Azure Dragon asked instinctively.

Seeing this, Ao Chen did not drag things out and promptly laid out the requirement.

"Since this method is to be applied to another, the subject must open their mind and spirit; otherwise, it will be difficult to take effect."

"In short, I currently need a verifier."

The Azure Dragon was taken aback. He looked at Ao Chen's solemn expression, and his resolve began to waver.

Because he realized that Ao Chen might be serious.

The Azure Dragon took a deep breath, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Since you say so, I am willing to be the first to bear witness to your divine ability!"

Ao Chen nodded, his expression turning grave.

"Rest assured, this method will do you no harm."

Creating a technique was one thing; putting it into practice was another, especially for such a heaven-defying divine ability that directly interfered with karma and causality.

Thoughts churned in Ao Chen's mind as he immediately set to work.

He took a deep breath, the power of a peak Mythical Heavenly Immortal slowly circulating. At the tips of his fingers, countless profound and unfathomable runes began to emerge, shimmering with the luster of stars and spacetime.

"Trace Origin to Transform Karma!"

Ao Chen muttered in a low voice, forming hand seals and pointing them from afar at the Azure Dragon!

Those profound runes instantly transformed into countless fine golden threads, as if alive, burrowing into the Azure Dragon's body—more precisely, into the visible black mist of karmic debt that clung like maggots to the very core of his true spirit!

Hum—!

The moment the golden threads touched the black karmic mist, the black mist on the Azure Dragon shuddered violently!

Ao Chen immediately activated the divine ability at full force, his divine sense surging upstream along the karmic causality. A powerful temporal-spatial force enveloped a faint wisp of black karmic energy, attempting to peel it away from some past node in the void!

This process was exceedingly arduous, as if wrestling against the entire River of Time and the causality of the Heavenly Dao!

Sizzle... sizzle...

Under the relentless scouring of Ao Chen's Mythical Great Dao aura, at last, that locked wisp of black karmic energy, as if forcibly dragged from a mire, began to slowly, visibly fade and dissipate! Ultimately, it vanished into nothingness!

It worked!

The Trace Origin to Transform Karma divine ability was effective!

However, when Ao Chen saw that only a negligible wisp of black karmic energy had dissipated, and then compared it to the Azure Dragon's still thick-as-ink, seemingly endless mass of karmic debt, his brow furrowed deeply, and undisguised dissatisfaction spread across his face.

At this rate, even if he worked day and night without pause, fully resolving the karmic debt on the Azure Dragon alone would take tens of thousands of years or more!

Let alone the many elders in Dragon Abyss, all burdened with karma—this was far from his expectations!

But just as Ao Chen was feeling dissatisfied with the inefficiency of the divine ability, the Azure Dragon beside him had already fallen into a sea of ecstasy and shock!

It worked—it actually worked!

That terrifying karmic debt that had plagued him for countless kalpas had truly been dissolved by a fraction!

Though it was only a sliver, what did it represent?

It represented hope, a chance at life, and the possibility that the dragon race might still have a future!

How many years had it been since the Dragon-Han Calamity? When had these old survivors, clinging to life, ever felt such relief?

Even if only for an instant, a mere hint of ease!

"Haha... hahaha..."

Feeling the long-lost lightness deep within his true spirit, the Azure Dragon could not contain his excitement. Tears of joy streamed down his aged face as he burst into laughter, a sound brimming with boundless delight and liberation!
