Chen Xiaojun felt an itch of curiosity and pressed further. "Then Grandpa, tell me about the Martial Souls and circumstances of the other founding families."
Chen Yu turned to Chen Cong. "Second Brother, you explain. This is your specialty."
Grandpa is the reliable one for current affairs and politics, but when it comes to Martial Soul research, Second Granduncle is the true expert, Chen Xiaojun thought.
Chen Cong was quietly drinking Fragrant Snow Spirit Tea. Hearing Chen Yu call on him, he habitually took another sip before saying solemnly, "First, there's the Karmaflame Demon Blade Ximen Family."
"Legend speaks of red lotus karmaflame. This fire feeds on sin and karmic taint. Once it catches hold, it cannot be extinguished. You can only wait for it to burn away all your sins, and the suffering you endure in the meantime is beyond what an ordinary person can bear."
"When the Karmaflame Demon Blade Martial Soul attacks, it carries a red lotus-shaped Heavenly Flame. This flame not only possesses a ferocious fire attribute but also inflicts mental damage that reaches the soul itself. It is extremely difficult to defend against."
"Once struck, you suffer as though from a chronic affliction that follows you like your shadow, a maggot clinging to your bones. The torment is unbearable, hence the name Karmaflame Demon Blade."
"The Karmaflame Demon Blade possesses metal, fire, and mental attributes simultaneously. Both metal and fire excel at attacking. Add the mental attribute, and a Martial Soul combining all three becomes astonishingly powerful, radiating a flame-like aura of relentless slaughter."
"Karmic Fire burns wild, severing souls and sparing no lives."
"The Ximen Family acts with great decisiveness and force. Their Martial Soul is hailed as the supreme sovereign among blades-a ninth-grade Martial Soul."
"But they also have a tremendous underlying danger."
