Chapter 1151: Three Incenses, Three Karmas
Peak Imperial Sovereign! Xu Qing’s expression did not change. It remained completely and utterly as normal. That was how the young lord would act. He might be a lecher who numerous cultivators despised, but there was one thing that everyone had to admit.
He had a superior cultivation base, superior battle prowess, superior talent, and had not failed to perform the way everyone expected Aurora’s son to perform. His cultivation base was only half a step away from Quasi-Immortal, and as for his battle prowess... it was astonishing. In fact, some years ago he had actually fought with a Quasi-Immortal.
The only negative was that he had faltered a bit in staying focused, and thus his cultivation advancement had stalled.
But Xu Qing knew that his insights into the young lord surpassed what most observers knew.
Although other people believed the young lord to be lazy, the reality was that he had been working very hard in secret. The blood, sweat, and tears he had shed surpassed what most cultivators were aware of.
For some unknown reason, however, he had failed to make any cultivation advancement recently. It was only after some time that the image he presented to people became the reality.
But regardless of anything, he was still Young Lord Aurora. Therefore, though his progress had stalled, his battle prowess was not something to look down on. And as he walked forward in the arena, the sky trembled and the ground quaked. The thumping of the war drums in the arena went silent. Terrifying fluctuations rolled out from Xu Qing, becoming mountain-toppling, sea-draining waves of black fire that could consume anything and everything.
That fire was substructurally different from ordinary fire. In fact, it was similarly different even from immortal fire. To be most precise, this fire fundamentally wasn’t even fire. It just borrowed the concept of fire so that people could perceive it.
It had a name: karma fire!
Karma fire spread, filling the area around Li the Chosen, and it looked like it was just about to engulf and incinerate him. All eyes were locked onto the spot.
As everyone stared, Li the Chosen’s eyes glittered, and he lifted his hand and pointed to the sky. That movement caused the dome of heaven to dim. Heaven and earth turned pitch black. Within that utter darkness appeared an enormous rising sun. With it came the power of the morning, sending fiery, heavenly light exploding out in all directions.
