Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2562: Chapter 2563: Karma Strings

”Hahaha!” Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor, laughed wildly up at the sky upon hearing this.

”Xue An, you’re on the brink of death and yet you still dare to talk tough. It seems you truly don’t know your limits. So be it, today I will show you what true power really is!”

With that, his form instantly vanished, replaced by an expansive and eerie starry sky.

In this starry sky, scarlet stars were scattered everywhere.

These stars were arranged in some mysterious pattern, and just a glance caused one to uncontrollably slide into the abyss of madness.

Some of the weaker-minded individuals even went mad on the spot.

”Shut your eyes quickly, don’t look at this starry sky!” cried the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

In fact, before she spoke, some had already closed their eyes, turning their heads away, not daring to look directly at the sky.

But the effect of this action was minimal.

Because even if one avoided looking at the starry sky, the mental pollution it brought did not decrease in the slightest and seemed to be intensifying.

Gradually, even those who had reached the Saint Realm began to look dazed.

It was a sign that their minds were gradually losing grip.

At this scene, Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor’s extremely arrogant laugh echoed from the starry sky.

”Xue An, do you see? This is just a minuscule bit of my ability, and already you cannot endure it. What do you have left to fight me with?”

In the midst of it all, only Xue An remained calm.

His face was as cold as ice as he stared straight at the starry sky, seemingly unmoved.

”Once all the elite of the Sky Beyond the Skies descend into madness and become my puppets, you will die at the hands of those you always sought to protect. The scene...just thinking about it is exhilarating!”

”And after your death, the Sky Beyond the Skies will fall completely, as for your beloved Multiverse....”

”They will forget you entirely, as if you had never appeared, hahaha, Xue An, how do you feel hearing this? Isn’t it despairing?”

Beside his ear came Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor’s voice, sometimes mad, sometimes eerie, as if the whisper of a devil, trying to destroy Xue An’s mind.

But just then, Xue An’s eyes began to glow little by little.

As if entirely unaffected by these words.

Xue An took a long, deep breath, then looked straight at Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor.

”I admit, your power is indeed formidable and almost unsolvable, but do you really think I have no chance to turn the tables?”

”Haha, turn the tables? Now everyone is shrouded in my mental pollution, how do you plan on turning the tables?”

Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor’s voice was filled with careless mockery and ridicule, as if listening to Xue An tell a grand joke.

But soon he could no longer laugh because, at that moment, a blood-red flame surged up around Xue An.

These flames transformed into lotus shapes as they rose, spinning and vanishing, filled with an illusory beauty.

Yet this beauty carried a strong sense of threat.

”Red Lotus Karma Fire? Xue An, how many times have you used this ability already? Haven’t I beaten you into despair yet?” Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor sneered.

”Though this ability of yours does have its merits, even enough to be called stunning, you still don’t understand that for an existence like me, this ability cannot harm me in the slightest!”

”So you’d better just give up!”

Xue An listened silently, only raising his eyebrows slightly after Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor finished speaking.

”Finished?” Once finished, it’s my turn now!”

With that, the momentum around Xue An surged, and the Red Lotus Karma Fire exploded, nearly covering the entire battlefield.

Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor sneered, ”Truly stubborn, aren’t you? So be it, then I shall shatter the last sliver of delusion in your heart.”

With that, the starry sky began to spin slowly, bringing a powerful suction force sweeping across the battlefield, attempting to draw all those mentally polluted into it.

But just then, an inexplicable ripple spread out.

Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor was taken aback, then a wondrous scene unfolded slowly.

As the Red Lotus Karma Fire illuminated the space, countless red strings gradually appeared.

These strings had no physical form, yet were connected intimately with everyone on the battlefield, intertwining to form an unsolvable tangle.

At the same time, countless strings pierced the spatial barriers, extending beyond the battlefield to unfathomable places.

In short, the entire space resembled a peeled orange, revealing its inner network.

And the thickest string surprisingly emerged from the starry sky to Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor.

This arm-thick red string was completely unaffected by the bizarre starry sky, diving straight in and linking with the hidden Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor.

”Is this...the Karma Strings?”

Initially, Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor didn’t recognize what the strings were until one linked to him, then he was suddenly shocked, remembering a mysterious existence.

Xue An said softly, ”Indeed, it’s the Karma Strings!”

The starry sky flickered slightly, as if startled by some shock.

Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor indeed felt the astonishment.

All due to the Karma Strings, so mysterious, so unfathomable.

In truth, even as an unknowable existence, he had only heard of them, never seen them.

The so-called Karma Strings, put plainly, are the concretization of the causal relationships connecting everything.

Throughout heaven and earth, everything, whether you’re a supreme strongman or an ordinary mortal, or even just a stone, as long as you exist within time, will have karma following.

It’s just that ordinary people, or even typical strongmen, cannot or do not have the energy to unravel the mystery of karma.

The reason being no other than that karma is just too complex.

A mighty, invincible powerhouse might ultimately end up as a roadside weed.

Or perhaps an unremarkable mortal may suddenly receive a great opportunity, reaching the peak of life’s heights overnight.

All of this stems from karma, yet no one can fully comprehend it, thus some believe in destiny.

Prior to this, though Xue An possessed Karma Divine Skills, he could only employ them in the most rudimentary way.

Such as reversal or tracing.

It’s not that he didn’t wish to advance further, it’s just this kind of innate divine skill is wholly different from cultivation level.

Cultivation level can be increased through arduous practice, but innate divine skills cannot be trained; they can only mature with opportunity.

So towards the end, Xue An rarely used this karma power anymore.
