Chapter 548

Having raised his cultivation to the fifth layer of the Saint realm, Seeing Yuanshi's strength had greatly increased, and his confidence had risen accordingly.

Facing Lin Xia, he was naturally full of confidence.

His words implicitly contained a sense of tyranny.

Hearing this, Lin Xia responded mercilessly:

"Take a member of my human race as a disciple?"

"Are you even worthy?"

Lin Xia's voice was very soft, but his words were full of disdain.

Many of the powerful beings watching twitched their lips, remaining silent.

Such words of contempt for a Saint could probably only be spoken by Lin Xia, and yet no one could refute them.

Anyone else would have been slapped to death long ago.

"Not long ago, I used destiny to bless the human race, which is why Seeing Fuxi was able to be born in response to destiny and emerge smoothly."

"Therefore, Seeing Fuxi has karma with my Chan Sect."

"It is only logical for me to take him as a disciple; what is wrong with that?"

Seeing Yuanshi suppressed his anger and said faintly.

Although with the help of Hongjun, Seeing Yuanshi's cultivation had greatly improved, leaping to the fifth layer of the Saint realm,

he still felt a sense of dread toward Lin Xia.

After all, back when competing for the position of Heavenly Emperor, Lin Xia was already an existence capable of fighting Hongjun.

At this moment, even with his improved cultivation, he still could not see through Lin Xia's depth.

After some observation, he felt the other party was even more unfathomable.

This made him secretly shocked.

One must know that in the Saint realm, even a difference of one layer means a world of difference in strength.

Not to mention someone with Lin Xia's monstrous talent.

Therefore, even with Laozi by his side, Seeing Yuanshi did not want to fight Lin Xia head-on and chose to argue based on reason.

However, these words fell into the ears of the humans below like a thunderclap.

For a time, there was an uproar in the tribe.

"Abominable, so they had their eyes on our human sage before he was even born."

"Not long ago, they blessed our human race with destiny; sure enough, they had ill intentions."

"Such scheming is truly sinister."

"Our human race is so prosperous; even without his destiny blessing, the sage would still have been born."

At this moment, the myriad humans in the tribe reacted, each of them looking indignant.

Lin Xia said faintly:

"This is merely your own wishful thinking; the human race is so prosperous, why would it need your destiny blessing?"

"I do not acknowledge this so-called karma."

Hearing this, Seeing Yuanshi smiled faintly:

"Once karma is created, it cannot be erased; how can it not exist just because you don't acknowledge it?"

Lin Xia did not speak; he raised his hand and waved, and the void trembled.

Dense threads of karma emerged.

Around them, golden merit and destiny floated; this was the karma created between Laozi, Seeing Yuanshi, and the human race when they blessed the humans with destiny not long ago.

Lin Xia tilted his palm and made a light swipe through the middle, and the threads of karma were instantly severed, submerged into the void.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing Yuanshi was instantly dumbfounded.

Laozi was even more shocked beyond measure, looking at the severed karma, staring blankly.

Ordinary karma would be one thing.

But this was karma they had personally created; how could it be severed?

If he hadn't sensed the karma disappearing in the dark, he would never have believed it.

Seeing Yuanshi stared fixedly at Lin Xia.

"Such karma cannot be severed at all; how did you do it? This is impossible."

"Who said karma cannot be severed? That is only because you are too weak."

Lin Xia sneered.

Seeing Yuanshi was shaken, and surprisingly, he did not refute, remaining silent.

Thinking of his efforts coming to nothing, Laozi felt like crying.

This karma was obtained at the cost of the Xun Sect's destiny, and now it was all gone.

Instead, it had strengthened the human race, making wedding clothes for someone else.

The human elders below all wore looks of bewilderment.

They naturally could not see through Lin Xia's god-like methods, but they felt it was very impressive.

"The karma has been severed; what else do you have to say?"

Lin Xia said faintly.

Laozi was once again in a posture of solemnity and immortal grace.

"Even if the karma is gone, so what? The human race is weak; we Saints coming forward is also for the sake of the human race!"

"Only by Seeing Fuxi joining our Saintly orthodoxy can the human race become stronger and more prosperous!"

Contempt!

In the eyes of some human elders, there was only deep contempt.

In their eyes, Laozi at this moment was simply a hypocrite full of lies.

· ·······Begging for flowers··· ···

When the human race was in danger, it was Laozi who had plotted it from behind the scenes.

Now he wants to take action to make the human race stronger and more prosperous?

Even ghosts wouldn't believe such lies.

"Thinking for the human race?"

Lin Xia's expression remained calm, and he smiled faintly.

"Right, when the human race was suffering a disaster, you stood by and watched; was that for the sake of the human race?"

"When the demon race slaughtered humans, you secretly assisted; was that also for the sake of the human race?"

"The human race respected you and honored you, yet you extended the butcher's knife toward them; was that still for the sake of the human race?"

"Now, the human race has survived the killing tribulation and is becoming more prosperous, yet you come to plot against them?"

"Is this also for the sake of the human race?"

Lin Xia asked several questions in succession, leaving Laozi speechless.

"All of this is the fate of the human race!"

Laozi's expression was uncertain, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice.

The fate of the human race!

When Laozi established the Xun Sect to become a Saint, it was based on the human race.

But when the human race was suffering a disaster,

Laozi watched with his own eyes, indifferent, and even helped the demon race.

Now, with just a simple "fate of the human race," he wanted to shirk all responsibility.

In this world, there is no such easy thing.

Lin Xia's gaze became increasingly cold, and his body emitted terrifying energy that gripped the soul.

"What a 'fate of the human race'!"

"Since that is the case, the fate of our human race shall be decided by our human race itself! No outsiders need to interfere."

Lin Xia said faintly.

As his words fell, he looked directly at Laozi and Seeing Yuanshi.

Vast pressure swept over.
