Chapter 382: Is it the power of karma? How scary!

In the dim space, Shen Qing and the others hurried along.

Wu Di's primordial power kept spreading: "This third-layer world really makes it hard to tell direction; there's hardly any land."

Li Lun laughed and explained: "Along our way we've seen quite a few places, but there are some spots where you could fly for a whole year and still not see any land."

Shen Wendao narrowed his eyes: "Does this third-layer world have any living beings? I mean, are we latecomers the true natives of this world?"

Li Lun grew a bit solemn upon hearing this: "Yes! These beings are all special, each extraordinarily powerful, but fortunately their numbers are few."

"Don't worry, we in the Defiers Organization have gathered information on these beings; I don't know much, but you can check it out later."

Afterward, the few of them chatted off and on.

Shen Qing, meanwhile, remained silent, focusing on comprehending the embryonic form of the Destruction Domain; after slaying the Destruction Heavenly Dao and the Primordial Evil God, his store of Destruction Power was already sufficient.

Suddenly, Shen Qing raised his head and looked ahead.

Li Lun noticed Shen Qing's abnormality: "What's wrong?"

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes: "Li Lun, are you Defiers all so hospitable?"

Li Lun chuckled: "Hospitable? No way—each one of them is arrogant beyond measure."

Shen Qing understood, then gave a faint smile: "So it's that unwelcome guests have arrived, huh?"

"Or are the Defiers trying to give us a show of force?"

Li Lun's expression turned a bit serious: "Have you discovered something?"

Li Lun then turned his head to look at Wu Di and Shen Wendao, seeing that both wore solemn expressions.

Shen Qing spoke: "What a strong karmic force."

Hearing mention of karmic power, Jeffrey spoke: "Then I know who it is—it's the giant dragon Jeffrey."

"He's the only one among us Defiers who has mastered karmic power."

"But karmic heavenly dao are rare among heavenly daos, so Jeffrey, even after ten thousand years, still hasn't grasped the embryonic form of a karmic power domain."

Shen Qing gave a cold snort: "So you're saying this Jeffrey came for my karmic power, huh?"

Li Lun's face stalled, as if acknowledging the possibility: "Like this, Shen Qing, let me ask first later—don't just attack outright."

Li Lun also feared that if Shen Qing launched another zero-frame opening move, he would blast Jeffrey to pieces.

But not long after his words faded, a golden giant dragon hundreds of meters long shot out of the dark space ahead and flew straight at Shen Qing.

Li Lun spoke up, laughing: "Jeffrey! How'd you get here? Missed me after not seeing each other for ages?"

Seeing Jeffrey's aggressive approach, Li Lun also guessed roughly what was up, hurriedly spoke first, hoping to give Jeffrey a way to back down.

But Jeffrey gave Li Lun no face at all, exhaling two scorching columns of air from his nostrils.

"Li Lun, this is none of your business—shut your mouth and pretend you didn't see anything."

Li Lun's words rose to his lips then sank back down, his eyes turning icy.

Now that you've said all that, why would Li Lun still bother saving you?

Who isn't a master of supreme power these days? Who still lacks a bit of face?

You give no face at all—why should I keep pressing my hot cheek against your cold butt?

Li Lun silently stepped aside.

Jeffrey's massive dragon head lowered, its huge golden eyes locking onto Shen Qing.

"You're Shen Qing, right? I've come to make a deal with you."

Shen Qing's face remained calm: "Is this the attitude you show when coming to ask me for a deal?"

Jeffrey also gave a cold snort upon hearing that: "You're not afraid of me at all? Evidently you truly have no idea what I'm capable of."

"Then I'll say it plainly: I want your karmic power—today you'll give it whether you like it or not."

"If you hand it over obediently, I can still spare your life; otherwise..."

Shen Qing laughed: "So that's how it is, then."

Shen Qing took a step forward.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A violent heartbeat thundered in the darkness.

Jeffrey's eyes widened instantly, for Shen Qing's figure had vanished—his speed was such that Jeffrey couldn't even catch it.

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light flashed beside him; Jeffrey turned his golden eyes and saw only a blazing fleshly form, hot as the proud sun.

Only one thought filled Jeffrey's mind.

"So fast!"

The next moment—Bang!

Shen Qing's heavy, powerful kick slammed into Jeffrey's face, distorting and deforming it outright, shattering most of a dragon tooth.

Jeffrey was flung backward, blood spraying; his gaze toward Shen Qing had changed, and at the same time he mentally cursed the informant Charles a hundred times.

Is this the strength difference Charles spoke of?

This kick almost didn't send his great-great-grandmother flying.

Seeing Shen Qing's flesh blazing like the sun, Jeffrey already began to beat a retreat.

"Um, Shen Qing, right? I think there's some misunderstanding between us."

Shen Qing strode toward Jeffrey, his movements unhurried, yet each step spanned several kilometers.

"A misunderstanding? You only talk about misunderstandings when you can't win?"

"That's a pretty nice thought."

Jeffrey's expression sank a bit: "Shen Qing, let's each take a step back—don't you understand the principle of vast sky and sea?"

"However I put it, I've mastered karmic power for ten thousand years; my grasp of it is beyond your imagination—if we really fought, who'd win or lose is still uncertain."

As he spoke, Jeffrey unfurled his karmic power—indeed he wasn't lying, his command of karmic power was far from weak; he even managed to grasp a usage similar to the karmic net, with countless karmic lines coiling toward Shen Qing, so that whenever Shen Qing moved, Jeffrey would know.

Jiefuli revealed a confident smile: "Shen Qing, it's not too late to stop now."

Shen Qing glanced at the karma threads wrapped around his hand: "Oh~ karma power? How terrifying."

As soon as his words fell, Jiefuli's karma threads began to shatter bit by bit; immediately after, Shen Qing's karma domain unfolded, instantly destroying all of Jiefuli's karma power.

Jiefuli's eyes widened instantly, as if he were drowned by the sea, even his heartbeat stopped.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

Oh ho!

It's over!
