"The Law of Disaster, the Catastrophe Spell!"
In an instant, the Chaotic Eight Trigrams in the depths of Gu Chuan's mind began deducing at an astonishing speed. Almost immediately, he formulated a supernatural spell based on the Law of Disaster—Cataclysm.
A catastrophe rune emerged in his Sea of Consciousness, appearing pitch black as it whirled and spun. Countless disaster law patterns intertwined, forming a chaotic disaster rune.
To master this supernatural power was to control the might of the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a hundred epochs for Gu Chuan to deduce such an ability through the Law of Disaster, and even that might not be enough.
However, with the blessing of the Primordial Light of Merit from the Source of Chaos, he deduced it in an instant. It was as if the Chaotic Eight Trigrams Technique had surpassed the speed of light.
In just one second, Gu Chuan had performed countless deductions, numbering in the hundreds of millions.
"This Demon God is powerful as well," Gu Chuan mused.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he detected a being no weaker than the Disaster Demon God. This entity, too, had reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, exuding an aura of profound mystery.
At the center of this Demon God's being, countless invisible threads stretched out into the void, imperceptible to ordinary sight. Only through the All-Seeing Eye could Gu Chuan perceive them.
These threads were Karma Lines—the very fabric of cause and effect.
This being was the renowned Karma Demon God, a master of the Law of Karma. His form was surrounded by an intricate web of Karmic Law, each thread a testament to the profound principles he had grasped.
"Fascinating. So this is the Law of Karma?"
Instantly, Gu Chuan memorized every line of the Law of Karma inscribed upon the Karma Demon God's body. The knowledge etched itself into his soul, forming a monumental Karma Tablet within the depths of his mind.
This tablet contained vast insights into the Law of Karma, akin to a supreme scripture.
Blessed by the Primordial Merit Light of Chaos, Gu Chuan possessed an eidetic memory—even the infinitely complex knowledge contained within the Law of Karma was recorded in an instant.
It was akin to the ability to copy and paste the truths of the universe.
His heart surged with excitement. The Law of Karma was undoubtedly one of the most enigmatic laws in the Chaotic Primordial Realm, rivaling the Law of Disaster, the Law of Yin-Yang, and the Law of Chaos.
Without the Heavenly Dao Forum, where he preached the Dao, how else could he have attracted such an exalted Demon God and obtained this knowledge?
If he had sought to comprehend the Law of Karma on his own, it might have taken an eternity. After all, without guidance, how could one even begin?
Just like a mortal attempting to master alchemy or astrology without a teacher, one would be lost amidst endless symbols and calculations, akin to a blind man feeling an elephant.
"The Law of Karma!"
Gu Chuan's Omniscient Eye flickered as he analyzed the boundless mysteries of Karma.
He saw countless law lines converging, forming a sphere—the Karma Sphere.
Through his Divine Perception, he witnessed the Chaotic Rune of Karma condensing. Within its depths, clear and turbid energies intertwined, shifting constantly, transforming into all things—humans, mountains, rivers, wind, fire, dragons, tigers, and even Demon Gods.
It encompassed all beings, all existences.
At the heart of this Karma Sphere, infinite Karma Threads extended outward, weaving together countless causes and effects.
Every action of every living being within its web resulted in reactions and consequences, forming an endless cycle of Karmic Retribution.
Gu Chuan could sense that he himself was connected to countless Demon Gods throughout the Chaos Realm. Threads of Karma extended from him, linking him to beings within the City of Chaos and even to the Chaos Orbs, where innumerable Elves, Primordial Entities, and Plant-Based Chaos Gods—such as the World Tree Chen Xi—resided.
Any Chaos Demon God he had encountered or influenced had a thread connecting them to him.
However, some Karma Threads were thick, while others were thin, indicating the strength or weakness of their karmic ties.
In truth, all life was bound by Karma.
Only death could sever a Karma Thread—when one's Dao vanished, their Karmic Bond dissolved.
Yet, even then, the Karmic Line itself remained the most resilient and intangible force.
Almost nothing could sever it.
Not even the end of Chaos itself.
"If there is a cause, there must be an effect. If there is an effect, there must be a cause."
In that instant, Gu Chuan had an epiphany.
He completely comprehended the infinite mysteries of the Law of Karma—even surpassing the Karma Demon God's own mastery.
"Great Karma Technique!"
At that moment, he deduced a supernatural technique derived from the Law of Karma—the Great Karma Art.
Due to this deduction, the Primordial Merit Light of Chaos within his Sea of Consciousness dimmed slightly.
But it was worth it.
For with this technique, he could use Karma Lines to locate anyone connected to him, even those he had yet to meet.
As long as a Karmic Thread existed, he could find them—even at the very ends of Chaos itself.
It was an unparalleled tracking technique, far surpassing all others.
If Gu Chuan wished to find anyone related to him, they could not escape his grasp, no matter where they hid.
Yet, tracking was merely an auxiliary function of the Great Karma Technique.
Its true power lay in defense.
Through this art, Gu Chuan could create a Karma Barrier upon his Primordial Ancient Serpent Body.
Any attack that struck the Karma Barrier would be reflected instantly.
The stronger the attack, the stronger the rebound.
This was even superior to the Chaos Barrier, which merely nullified attacks.
In contrast, the Karma Barrier not only defended but counterattacked.
It was the ultimate magical defense and offense in one.
With this technique, Gu Chuan stood on the brink of invincibility.
"Fascinating... This is akin to a divine version of the Celestial Shifting Technique, returning an enemy's attack with their own strength."
Gu Chuan's eyes gleamed.
He marveled at his creation, realizing he had unraveled an incredible supernatural ability.
In terms of profundity, this was now his strongest divine art.
It had already begun to approach the level of the Dao itself.
Faintly, he sensed that his Primordial Ancient Serpent Body had become engraved with dense Karma Runes.
The countless runes of Karma layered upon one another, forming an absolute Karmic Barrier.
Just like the Chaos Barrier, this power had now become a permanent supernatural ability within him, greatly amplifying his defense.
