[Ding! Congratulations on successfully completing your Fifth Generation reincarnation.] [Please choose one of the following three skills to inherit: Tranquility Mantra, Great Balefire, Scorching Flame.]
"Karmic debt..."
"It's still here, just as I thought."
Xiu Yuan frowned deeply, sensing the incredibly powerful karmic debt within his body.
If he hadn't been in the system's space, where no negative buffs could take effect, he would probably have been consumed already.
It seemed that when the Demonbane Sword spoke of consuming evil spirits to deal extra damage, it didn't mean completely clearing away karmic debt. Instead, it borrowed the power of karmic debt to strengthen his attacks.
The karmic debt inside him wouldn't diminish in the slightest when he attacked.
In other words, Xiu Yuan now bore Xiao's thousand years of karmic debt. The moment he entered his sixth reincarnation, he would likely experience a torment worse than death...
But among the skills offered this time, Xiu Yuan spotted something that might be useful.
Tranquility Mantra.
He examined it closely.
[Tranquility Mantra: Increases mental strength by 500% upon selection. Requires entering a meditative state to use and greatly increases resistance to negative status effects. The longer you meditate, the longer the increased resistance lasts.]
