Chapter 310: Karma Settled

Do you want to leave the current battlefield world?

Yes!

Sending out to leave...

Zongwang Prompt: You have completed the battlefield mission, now conducting battlefield evaluation...

You have completed the special achievement: Salvation of the World. Since you have no teammates, you receive the full achievement reward.

Your performance in that battlefield world has earned evaluations from two spectators:

1, Qualified to rule a region of Kunlun—Lord of Kunlun Mountain, Queen Mother of the West

Evaluation effect: Reputation increased within Jiuzhou; small chance to trigger a fortunate encounter within Kunlun; gain innate blessings within the Kunlun region of the Jiuzhou world; Kunlun Mountain faction reputation raised to revered.

2, Deep Blessings—Kunlun Ruins, Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi

Evaluation effect: Luck +1

Zongwang Prompt: Based on your battlefield performance, you have gained 20,000 Universal Experience, 10,000 Zongwang Disaster Coins, and 50,000 Incense.

Zongwang Prompt: Based on your battlefield performance, your follower Mountain God Dog Chuyi has received the Queen Mother's approval, becoming the Jiuzhou Kunlun Mountain God (Sixth-rank Divine Position).

After a flash of light, Mu Yi appeared in a peach grove, and a refreshing fragrance instantly filled his nostrils.

You can complete the trial, proving I did not misjudge!

The Queen Mother of the West stood before a peach tree, speaking softly. Mu Yi quickly stood and saluted; before she spoke, he did not detect even a trace of her presence.

Do you have any other methods?

Mu Yi nodded: 'The power of the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Crushing Blood Sacrifice naturally cannot corrode anywhere, and the existence of Eternal Heaven will naturally be destroyed!'

The Queen Mother of the West was not surprised, nodded and said: 'You did not use this method, but chose to ask Bai Ze; that is excellent!'

Mu Yi lowered his head, respectfully replying: 'Thank you, Queen Mother of the West, for your praise!'

What a pity; if it weren't that your Dao is not here, I would truly want to take you as a nominal disciple!" the Queen Mother of the West sighed.

Without waiting for Mu Yi's reaction, she waved her hand, and a ball of light appeared before him.

This is your reward for passing the trial. Go down the mountain, settle your own karma, then return!

The Queen Mother of the West waved her hand again, and Mu Yi appeared outside Kunlun Mountain.

You have obtained a portion of Self-renewing Spiritual Soil.

【Self-renewing Spiritual Soil】

Item Type: Spiritual Object

Item Level: 30

Effect:

1. Spiritual Soil: Can cause spiritual plants planted in this soil to grow quickly.

2. Self-renewing Soil: Can absorb heavenly and earthly spiritual qi to self-grow and restore spiritual power.

Got it!

Mu Yi carefully stored this hard-earned Self-renewing Spiritual Soil into his item bag.

Rising, he brought Chuyi and silently offered praise to the Queen Mother of the West at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Although this trip seemed to yield little, in fact it was a bountiful harvest—just the things in his Reincarnation Barrier were already worth a fortune.

After finishing his praises to Mu Yi, who had provided this trial opportunity, he began to ponder the Queen Mother of the West's final words.

Has the karma been settled?

Mu Yi was momentarily at a loss; frankly, the karma he was involved in on Kunlun Mountain probably only concerned Bright Moon.

Although he did not understand, Mu Yi still flew outward, for the Queen Mother of the West's words are seldom idle; surely there is something he has not considered.

Before Mu Yi had flown far, a talisman intertwined with lightning burst forth before him.

"Finally, I've waited for you!" a resentful voice rang out, and a figure appeared before him.

"Who are you?" Mu Yi frowned; the disheveled figure emanating a strange aura before him was surely someone he had never seen.

"Who am I? I am Kun Linzi!"

"So it turns out the unresolved karma refers to you!"

Mu Yi narrowed his eyes, looking at Kun Linzi appearing before him; frankly, he had thought his karma with Kun Linzi was already settled.

But the Kun Linzi now is completely different from the thin daoist he had seen before.

"How did you become like this!"

"It's all your fault—Kunlun expelled me, reclaimed my cave abode, and now I'm a homeless dog, all because of you!" Kun Linzi's eyes burned with venom; he looked mad and frenzied, far from normal.

"Has killing qi entered your brain?"

Mu Yi somewhat understood: back then, when he struck Kun Linzi, he used the Soldier Chief's Power; the Soldier Killing Qi is inherently dangerous for a daoist, and besides, this person's narrow mind likely means no fellow daoist would help him dispel the Soldier Killing Qi.

He also suffered an accident, could not control himself, blamed everything on Mu Yi's head, completely forgetting that he himself had provoked this.

"Looks like today we'll have a showdown!"

Mu Yi was about to reach for his broadsword when his expression stiffened; he almost forgot that he could not use the broadsword now.

Fortunately, he still had many good things on him; even without a weapon, he could still fight.

Last time it was a friendly spar; many lethal techniques could not be used, but now he can unleash them all together for a test.

Even without the Reincarnation Barrier, facing Kun Linzi, whom he had already defeated once, he remains quite confident.

"Six Ding and Six Jia Charm!"

Twelve talismans shot from the mad Kun Linzi's hands, twelve divine generals echoing each other as they surrounded Mu Yi.

Under Kun Linzi's influence, the Six Ding and Six Jia divine generals summoned now also bore an evil killing aspect.

"Break!"

Mu Yi wrote a word spirit on the Register of Life and Death with his Judge's Pen; an obscure vibration rose, and the twelve divine generals instantly shattered, turning into light and vanishing.

"Looks like you're a little forgetful!"

Seeing Kun Linzi resort to a method that had already failed before against him, Mu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

"Today, you, Military Strategist brute, will die without a place to be buried!"

But Kun Linzi waved both hands, and countless talismans swirled like a tornado from all directions, enclosing Mu Yi within.

"If I hadn't failed to prepare a talisman array, would you, an unimmortal ant, still think you could defeat me?"

Kun Linzi's eyes turned blood‑red, already looking like he'd gone mad.

"Break!"

Mu Yi used his word spirit again, but this time the ripple rendered it ineffective, the power of the word spirit being cancelled.

"Die! Nine Heavens respond with primal Qi, flash fire is true form. Thunder roars, opening the ancestral calamity; lightning lights the nether. Divine skill shows transformation, holy virtue crowns the spirits. The elixir platform opens the treasure sutra; I bow to the grace of the Nine Heavens."

Kun Linzi clasped the incantation with both hands, and the tornado‑like talisman array instantly turned into a Frenzy of thunder sea that surrounded Mu Yi.

Above the thunder sea, a faceless colossal deity materialized, a bolt of lightning gathered in its hand, then hurled toward Mu Yi.

"Boom!"

The lightning raged, completely engulfing Mu Yi's form.

"Hahaha, let's see how you die now!"

Kun Linzi stood before the thunder sea, laughing wildly.

But when the thunder sea began to dissipate, Kun Linzi's laughter abruptly stopped.

"With a wretch like you, you really think you can threaten me?"

Mu Yi looked calmly at Kun Linzi and had to say that the talisman array's power was indeed great, but Chuyi upheld the Mountain Water Seal, using incense fire to manifest a barrier that directly kept the thunder sea at bay.

Mu Yi's gain from this Trial, aside from the blood‑sacrifice power, was mainly a large number of devout followers.

At least until the next reincarnation in that world, Mu Yi will continue to receive endless incense offerings, and Chuyi, as Mu Yi's patron deity, will naturally reap some of them.

With a divine seat and incense, even without concrete divine authority, one can wield the basic authority of the seat to exceed one's own strength, provided it's within Jiuzhou.

"Looks like you have no other means left; hit the road, go to reincarnation and be reborn!"

Mu Yi wrote Kun Linzi's name on the Book of Life and Death, then scrawled a big 'Dead' beside it.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

The array's failure seemed to deal a heavy blow to Kun Linzi.

As he roared in anger, trying to pull more talismans from his body, he suddenly fell headfirst to the ground like a kite whose string had snapped.

"I didn't expect such a strange effect in Jiuzhou!"

The effect within Jiuzhou's native land was far more powerful than Mu Yi imagined; in an instant, Kun Linzi's life force was completely cut off.

When Mu Yi descended, Kun Linzi's soul just rose from the corpse, and seeing the murderous aura coiling around it, he shook his head, "Had I known, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Just as Mu Yi reached out to bind the soul, a black and a white figure stepped out of the void, clearly having come directly via the Yellow Springs Path.

"So fast?"

Mu Yi was taken aback—does the Underworld in Jiuzhou operate this efficiently?

"We have seen the Demon‑Chasing, Corpse‑Sweeping Heavenly Lord!" the Black and White Impermanences bowed respectfully to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi also bowed, and with a glance he confirmed that these two were indeed the true Black and White Impermanences, the legendary Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu.

Compared with ordinary Yin Marshals, as two of the Ten Great Yin Marshals their power and status are greater.

"Heavenly Lord, just hand this person over to us, and we will press him to Yánluó Hall for judgment!" Bai Wuchang smiled broadly, showing no delay despite Mu Yi's modest strength.

"Anything special about him?"

Mu Yi looked at Kun Linzi with curiosity; after all, his strength didn't seem to merit a personal visit from the Black and White Impermanences.

"After all, he's a Daoist, also a former Kunlun person, possessing a military‑resolution method; we came to prevent his escape and usurpation of a mortal rebirth!"

Bai Wuchang explained that ordinarily a regular Yin Marshal would suffice, but Kun Linzi's case is too tangled; if he escaped, it would add three more units of work.

More importantly, Kun Linzi was killed by the Book of Life and Death, and they also intend to investigate its user.

But seeing that it was the newly‑minted Heavenly Lord Mu Yi, they said little; after all, he's a hot new star of the Underworld, favored by Hou Tu Niangniang, and promoted exceptionally for great merit, so they must respect him both publicly and privately.

"Heavenly Lord, if you have time, feel free to return to the Underworld; many rogue evil spirits are on the run and you might find use for them!"

Bai Wuchang smiled and gave Mu Yi a tip: having lived many years, he's well‑versed and saw that Mu Yi now harbors a legion‑type talent, and it's revenge‑oriented.

If he continues this conduct, it will benefit both his legion talent and his divine office.

"Then it's up to you two!" Hearing Bai Wuchang's words, Mu Yi understood and released his restriction on Kun Linzi.

As soon as he let go, Kun Linzi's soul transformed into a long rainbow that shot toward the distance.

"Refuse capture, penalty increased by one level!"

Hei Wuchang kept a cold face, made no move, and Kun Linzi's soul was seized by the Impermanence lock and brought back.

"Heavenly Lord, we shall meet again!"

Bai Wuchang smiled, waved to Mu Yi, then together with Hei Wuchang pressed Kun Linzi's soul along the Yellow Springs Path back to the Underworld.

"The burden is heavy and the road long!"

Mu Yi watched the departing Black and White Impermanences, scratched his head, feeling a bit out of place; it seemed his steps could not slow, perhaps even needed to quicken.

He searched Kun Linzi's body and found no artifacts, only talismans; disappointed, he packed the items away and threw the corpse into the Hell Path to incinerate.

After all, he was a Legend professional, so he could serve as firewood.

Having settled the karmic debt, Mu Yi bowed again to Kunlun Mountain, and returned to the main world with Chuyi.

He glanced at the Zongwang Panel, and Mu Yi realized that killing Kun Linzi also granted an extra benefit: his special achievement was unlocked.

"Zongwang Prompt: You, with a Transcendent body, killed a Legend; your title quest—Legendary Glory, progress updated, now 10/10."

"Zongwang Prompt: You earned an achievement reward, special title—Legendary Glory."

Title: Legendary Glory

Attributes:

1、Surpass Legend:

Legendary creatures are nothing but your prey; your strength has long surpassed them. Any legendary creature that fights you will fully bear your skills and attacks, and all your attributes will be perfectly manifested on those legendary creatures.

(Units with the same special title are immune to this effect.)

2、Legendary Calamity

After a standard action, each of your attacks will deal an additional 1% of the target's maximum HP as damage to legendary creatures, and this damage can be resisted.

After this ability takes effect on a legendary creature, the target will temporarily be unable to receive any healing.

When you or your enemy dies, this skill is dispelled.

When your enemy dies, you will gain the full healing effect based on the damage you dealt via this special effect attack, and all negative effects on you will be dispelled.

The two effects of Legendary Glory, surpassing Legend and Legendary Calamity, are both good effects, granting Mu Yi greater strength when facing legends.

Especially the effect of Legendary Calamity gives Mu Yi a better means to kill many tank-type legends.

More importantly, Mu Yi no longer has reservations and can continue to level up.

Having stayed in the Transcendent realm for too long, he must now advance toward the Legend realm.

Although Legend is merely another starting point, at least he now stands upon this starting point.
