167: Chapter 167: The Power of Cause and Effect! So you are hiding here

In the Void Realm underground, a massive bronze Cauldron floated above Jiang Xuan's head, and the giant's heart had completely vanished.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for elevating his Progenitor Dragon Bloodline to the seventh layer, Awakening Karma Progenitor Dragon, and acquiring the Divine Ability, Myriad Manifestation Nirvana Finger: Wherever the finger points, all Karma connections instantly collapse, regardless of good or evil, turning into nothingness and ceasing to exist."

"Note: This Divine Ability can only be used once a month and cannot be stacked."

As the System's voice fell, Jiang Xuan's eyes snapped open, a strong delight flashing within them, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It actually turned out to be Karma Progenitor Dragon," Jiang Xuan murmured, his words full of surprise.

The power of Karma is the most potent force in the world, alongside time, space, and destiny, it is hailed as the most primitive Origin power, the fundamental rule that constitutes a world.

All things have their Karma; every action taken is like a thread, one end is the cause, the other is the effect, and countless such threads weave together to form a vast net spanning heaven and earth.

Jiang Xuan looked at his newly acquired Divine Ability, a satisfied expression in his eyes. To be able to sever certain Karma without even mastering the Great Dao of Karma was undeniably powerful. To some extent, this could even directly alter a person's fate.

For example, Jiang Xuan's Transmigration to this world was the cause; his arrival changed many outcomes, which was the effect. The Myriad Manifestation Nirvana Finger could sever all of this, making it incredibly mysterious and unpredictable.

"Heh, now I finally have the means to contend with an Emperor," a flicker of excitement crossed Jiang Xuan's eyes.

No matter how boundless an Emperor's might, under the Myriad Manifestation Nirvana Finger, all his Karma could be instantly severed, and all achievements would turn into nothingness, including his entire Emperor Cultivation. Such was the domineering nature of Karma power.

"System, open the Bloodline panel."

"Host: Jiang Xuan."

"Bloodline: Chaos Bloodline, Progenitor Dragon Bloodline Seventh Layer, Karma Progenitor Dragon..."

"Bloodline Points: 15,000,000 | 50,000,000"

Jiang Xuan was slightly startled as he looked at the skyrocketing Bloodline Points. To Breakthrough to the eighth layer actually required fifty million; the leap was too immense.

After a moment of thought, he let it go. What was done was done; thinking more wouldn't help. The further he progressed, the more powerful the Divine Abilities he mastered would be, so requiring more Bloodline Points was normal.

However, finding another treasure of the same caliber as the giant's heart would be difficult.

Thinking of this, a dangerous glint flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes. The Emperor Road was about to open, and it would surely contain many Emperor-grade medicines. He would collect them all then; whoever dared to obstruct him would die!

Not long after, Jiang Xuan took one last look around, seeing no suspicious spots, then flashed to the cave entrance and murmured softly, "Until now, there's been no System prompt indicating the mission is complete. Could it be that merely dealing with the giant's heart isn't enough?"

After speaking, Jiang Xuan frowned, no longer hesitating, and stepped into the passage. "I wonder how Man Dali and Man Village are doing now."

Outside, under the big tree, the Village Chief's face was anxious, his cloudy eyes fixed on the dark cave entrance.

Just then, a ripple came from the entrance. The Village Chief's old face tightened. When he saw it was Jiang Xuan, his eyes first showed joy, then he hurried forward, his face full of urgency, saying, "Young friend, you've finally come out."

Seeing the other party's appearance, Jiang Xuan immediately felt a bad premonition. "Village Chief, what happened?"

"Oh dear, just now, villagers reported that Man Dali vomited blood and fainted. His face was pale, like a dead person, and they felt that terrifying aura again."

Jiang Xuan's expression changed. Without any hesitation, he used cross-realm teleportation, instantly vanishing with the Village Chief. In just a moment, the two arrived at Man Dali's residence.

At this time, the place was already crowded with people, all looking terrified at the white Qi emerging from Man Dali's chest, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

When they saw Jiang Xuan and the Village Chief suddenly appear, everyone was startled. Seeing it was the Village Chief, they felt as if they had found their pillar of strength, and their hearts calmed down a bit.

Jiang Xuan saw Man Dali lying unconscious on the ground and rushed forward to investigate with his Divine Sense. He found that Man Dali's heart had stopped beating, and in his Sea of Consciousness, two different forces were clashing.

"Is this a struggle for control of the body?" Jiang Xuan's expression turned cold. Then, he looked at Man Dali's chest again, his pupils suddenly constricting.

"Karma power! So that's it. Losing your heart made you so eager to resurrect yourself through Man Dali, did it? But if you do this, your profound Cultivation will probably cease to exist."

It made sense. If Cultivation was lost, it could be re-Cultivated from scratch. If life was lost, then truly everything would be gone.

"But!"

Jiang Xuan's expression suddenly turned cold, his tone icy, "Didn't I warn you? Those who die should obediently enter Reincarnation, otherwise, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering will be the outcome!"

With that, he moved his mind and pointed a finger at the white Qi, "Myriad Manifestation Nirvana Finger!"

As his voice fell, terrifying Karma power instantly crushed the Qi into nothingness. In the Void Realm, an enraged voice rang out, "Damn disruptor! You deserve to die..."

Jiang Xuan sneered, "So your true body is hiding in that place."

As soon as Jiang Xuan appeared, he noticed that the white Qi was connected to the gradually enlarging black spot within the Void Realmcrack (crack) on the outskirts of Sand Province. Now, hearing that voice further confirmed his investigation.

"You dare to scheme against someone from the Heaven Realm? Even if you come from another world and possess heaven-reaching Cultivation, you are now nothing more than a shell. Since you refuse Reincarnation, then this World Master will grant your wish."

Jiang Xuan secretly made up his mind: once he Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor, he would immediately chop the giant's corpse into pieces and feed it to dogs!

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Jiang Xuan extended his hand. A surge of life force gathered in his palm. Looking at Man Dali's slightly rising and falling chest, he gently placed his hand. Before long, Man Dali's originally pale face gradually became rosy.

After a long while, Man Dali suddenly sat up from the ground, shouting, "You dog thief! How dare you Possess me, your big brother will exterminate you!"

"Huff, huff..." Rapid breathing sounds arose. Man Dali's face was furious, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He slowly looked up, seeing Jiang Xuan watching him with a half-smile. Man Dali immediately hugged Jiang Xuan's leg and burst into tears, "Boss, ah, I thought I'd never see you again..."

Jiang Xuan patted his shoulder, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a dangerous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Man Dali, if you don't let go now, you really won't see me again in the future."

"Uh..."

Man Dali sniffed, quickly released his hands, and rubbed his head, "Hehe, Boss, I was just too excited, you know."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission, 'The Secret of Man Village', rewarding two million limit points."

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes. It was finally complete.

Then, his expression turned cold, "Man Dali, tomorrow, Boss will take you to get revenge!"
