He Xinlan abandoned all resistance, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Bai Yi.
He had not even been able to sense the Dao Resonance within that last sword strike.
He had only felt an irresistible edge before the sea and sky manifested from his Dao were utterly severed.

He Xinlan frowned at Bai Yi. Naturally, he was no stranger to the talk of Karma on the Ancient Road.
After admitting his defeat to Bai Yi, he too had felt something inexplicable being drawn out of him.
But compared with the geniuses who entered the Ancient Road from the lower realms, prodigies like them, born on the Ancient Road, had a far weaker perception of Karma.
Perhaps this was also the Ancient Road's compensation for the prodigies from the lower realms.
"That's right."

Beneath his calm gaze lay traces of surprise.
