Chapter 1570: Ancient Mystery, Karma mark

Within the pitch-black void, that bloody light flickered on and off; for these past several decades, it had never ceased, though the bloody light was faintly growing dimmer, as if it would completely vanish before long.

Year after year, day after day, time flowed in this pitch-black void without anyone noticing; no one knew of this place, and no one came here.

Beyond the deathly silence, there was nothing but stillness, and more stillness.

Until this day, when the white-haired young man among the two corpses within the bloody light opened his eyes.

The moment his eyes opened, thunder suddenly boomed within this pitch-black world. At first, the sound of this thunder was not violent, but it quickly reached a Peak, emitting a roar that shook the world.

That booming thunder seemed as if it wanted to tear apart this pitch-black void, tear apart all the heavens and starry skies, and rush out of here. The thunder was only for an instant before it grew increasingly intense, echoing in all directions within this quiet void.

The thunder was like waves, surging mightily, and it even stirred countless silver snakes to dance wildly, illuminating the pitch-black void. Under the flashing of the endless silver snakes, they intersected and roamed, looking like a gigantic electric net that enveloped this endless void entirely.

The booming thunder and flashing electricity seemed, at this moment, to have emerged to welcome their king. The booming thunder was like roars of excitement; they were excited because their king had finally awakened!

Those flashes of lightning, intersecting amidst the booming, also seemed to be welcoming their king!

Furthermore, amidst that lightning and thunder, a fire storm also came roaring out. This fire was nine-colored, rotating and filling the void, burning fiercely without end. As the nine-colored storm rotated, the nine colors upon it merged into one.

The fire surged, sweeping and spreading towards the surroundings with the white-haired young man who had opened his eyes as the center, directly filling the space below and contending with the thunder and lightning above.

The swirling fire also seemed to be welcoming its king!

The king of this lightning, thunder, and surging sea of fire was that white-haired young man; it was Wang Lin!

Wang Lin's opened eyes had fire in the left and lightning in the right. His expression revealed a sense of enlightenment, but hidden within that enlightenment was the sorrow of waking from a dream.

This dream had lasted over seventy years. For Wang Lin, these seventy-plus years could no longer be considered a dream, but rather another life of his own—even though this life was one he had fabricated himself, using his imitation of the Dao of Deception to deceive himself.

In his eyes, the moment he just woke up, there was still lingering confusion. His left hand was gripping the right wrist of the madman beside him, leaving a golden handprint there.

After a long while, amidst the booming thunder and the surging sea of fire, the confusion in Wang Lin's eyes was forcibly dispelled by him, replaced by coldness and determination, as well as the endless killing intent that emanated from his body after remembering everything!!

"Venerable Master, Void God Heavenly Venerable, and those few Immortal Concubines… I, Wang Lin, have awakened!"

Wang Lin's eyes revealed endless chill. He sat up, slowly stood, and raised his head to look at the void outside the bloody light.

"I, Wang Lin, have cultivated the Dao for over two thousand years. Today, I shall break open the Void Gate and become a Third Step mighty figure!" Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed forward.

"Thunder Origin!"

The heavenly thunder boomed and moved, twisting and entangling with the endless lightning. In a blink of an eye, all the lightning and thunder within this void condensed together, transforming into an undying thunder, which crashed down near Wang Lin, floating outside his bloody light. At the same time, the lightning mark within Wang Lin's right eye flashed out, merging with the undying thunder outside the bloody light.

It formed a mark: the Heaven and Earth Origin Thunder Lightning Undying mark!

That was a Thunder mark! Nine attendant thunders rotated nine times outside of it, then crashed and merged with it, transforming into an Origin Thunder!

The moment this Origin Thunder appeared, the Void Realm seemed on the verge of collapse. The power of thunder emanating from that mark was enough to blast open the heavens and earth, causing this void to tremble. This trembling was like ripples, spreading rapidly in all directions, causing everything in this void to seem as if it were distorting, becoming unreal.

A terrifying aura expanded booming from within that thunder. The strength of this aura was enough to make the wind and clouds change color; that was the power of thunder, that was the indestructible might of thunder within the heavens and earth!

One who could control this might of thunder was a Thunder Immortal!

The pressure of a Third Step mighty figure emanated from that Origin Thunder mark. As it spread, this single thunder was enough to shake a Third Step void nirvana Early Stage mighty figure!

After this thunder merged with the attendant thunders, it became a form of Chaos. To the eye, it no longer looked like lightning, but had turned into a mass of Chaos Qi!

The Origin Qi of the heavens and earth, which had initially opened and from which lightning and thunder were ultimately derived within the Chaos!

This Qi was colorless. It circled outside the bloody light, slowly rotating around Wang Lin. During that rotation, Wang Lin pointed his right hand out once more.

"Fire Origin!"

Wang Lin's voice carried vicissitudes and chill. The moment it spread, the endless sea of fire around him rolled backward. After the nine colors merged into one, it became a Void Fire. But at this moment, under the swirling of that Void Fire, a Dao Concept was contained within it and emerged.

This fire had already surpassed Void Fire, becoming a Dao Fire. Furthermore, under the surging of this Dao Fire, an aura of a Major Achievement in the Fire Origin erupted directly.

All the flames within this void condensed crazily at this moment, transforming into a Fire Totem composed of countless flames, which appeared before Wang Lin.

At first glance, that Fire Totem seemed substantial, but in reality, it was illusory and indistinct, as if countless auras were lingering upon it. It looked faintly distorted, but the high temperature emanating from it was enough to incinerate a Third Step void nirvana Early Stage mighty figure!

Thunder and Fire, completely at Major Achievement!

These two Origins alone were enough for Wang Lin to blast open the Void Gate and slaughter all Cultivators in the void nirvana Realm except for those at the Late Stage Perfection!

"Karma, appear!" The coldness in Wang Lin's eyes dissipated, revealing a look of reminiscence. At the same time, a mighty aura of a great Confucian, one that had never existed before and only existed in his dream, silently permeated from his body.

This aura was definitely not something a Cultivator could possess. Even those contemporary great Confucians, after cultivating the Dao, no one could retain this mighty Qi until the end of their lives. In the process of cultivating the Dao, amidst the law of the jungle, they all had to change themselves, forgetting the enlightenment of heaven and earth they once had.

Only Wang Lin, by way of the Dream Dao, at the moment of awakening, kept that mighty Qi that could shock ghosts and gods—which the version of himself in the dream possessed after gaining enlightenment of heaven and earth—within his heart. At this moment, as he spoke the two words "Karma," it erupted with a boom.

The Karma Origin was formless and shadowless, yet it condensed in Wang Lin's right hand. Opening the palm was Karma, clenching the palm was Fruit! From today on, this right palm would become the fourth self-created Divine Ability of his life!

Karma mark!

Just finished the mortal transformation, my mindset hasn't quite turned around yet. Plus, the plot has reached a critical moment, unfolding the eleventh volume, so just this one chapter today. For the remaining time, Er Gen wants to carefully organize the outline, and there are some plot points that need to be deliberated upon, to be responsible for writing every single word. If I don't organize the outline, it would be fine too, but I wouldn't be satisfied with the article written that way.
