Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 793 - 250 Absorbing Karmic Fire

The blazing Karmic Fire illuminated the grayness of the world, igniting upon Wang Mu’s body, yet it burned in Piao Miaoxu’s heart.

Watching this scene, Piao Miaoxu’s long-silent thoughts were greatly shaken.

What is this man trying to do?

A look of bewilderment began to emerge in Piao Miaoxu’s eyes.

In a daze, she seemed to return to the countless times she had clashed with Dongfang Mu during the millennia she was sealed.

Almost every time she fought Dongfang Mu, he managed to gather a large group of powerful allies at his side.

These powerful individuals, aside from their strength, more importantly, seemed indistinguishable from Dongfang Mu, like true brothers who would shield each other from blades on the battlefield.

Especially those female confidantes. She had no idea how this damn fellow had deceived them or how he had managed to make these women willingly die for him.

To think that she, the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, had personally nurtured countless strong individuals in secret. Yet, not a single one of them would do the same for her.

Even those like Mu Hongyuan, who betrayed her, or Shuo Wuji, who fled the battle in those early days, were considered the better ones.

It wasn’t that there weren’t any loyal ones; there certainly were those who fought to the death until the very end.

But as for daring to die for her, even those Heavenly Demon subordinates she commanded back then were not necessarily capable of such a thing.

Because, as fellow Heavenly Demons, they were under her control. They would die for her if she willed it, not out of their own volition.

Beyond the Heavenly Demons, there were even fewer...

And now...

A mere middle-aged cultivator who had followed her for less than a year, with such weak strength, could actually do this for her?

In that moment, Piao Miaoxu began to doubt this world.

Are there really such cultivators in the Nine Provinces? Really? Can I, Piao Miaoxu, actually meet such a person?

The lingering power of the Karmic Fire still possessed the ability to make all creatures tremble in fear.

Not to mention a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Even those at the Crossing Tribulation or Ascension Level would feel a natural resistance and fear upon sensing such Karmic Fire.

This extraordinary flame power surely did not belong to this world.

Piao Miaoxu remained silent, her thoughts undergoing a subtle shift in that moment.

She actually wanted to take a gamble.

But Qin Mu was telling her through his actions that it would be best to follow the plan.

After all, the opponent was an Ascension Realm expert.

"Run now!" Wang Mu, engulfed in flames, let out an urgent howl.

You better damn well not come over here! Wang Mu didn’t know how he would deal with Piao Miaoxu if she actually approached. If she tried to absorb the Karmic Fire out of curiosity and ended up taking in its Karma, she might become like the Heavenly Demon King Di Chen from tens of thousands of years ago.

Now that An Qixiu had not yet woken up, Wang Mu did not believe that the Nine Provinces could handle the latter.

The voice awakened Piao Miaoxu.

She looked at Wang Mu with complex eyes. In the Karmic Fire, his Life Force was rapidly depleting.

Previously, he had barely managed to recover his Life Span. But now, as the flames burned, his Life Force was draining away again, and he might not even survive.

If she acted forcefully now, it was uncertain whether she could defeat the Ascension Expert. Even if she could withstand the agony of the flames, absorb the Karma within, and win, it would probably be a Pyrrhic victory.

If that damn guy took advantage of the situation then, wouldn’t that be a major loss?

But if she were to leave like this, what about Qin Mu?

It had not been easy to encounter such talent—and one so loyal, even willing to die for her.

Piao Miaoxu gestured, and the fabric of the void trembled, immediately drawing in the distant Immortal Cloud Kun and the ’Dongfang Mu’ on its back.

"His target is Dongfang Mu," Wang Mu continued speaking urgently. "As long as you, Saint, take Dongfang Mu away, he will surely chase after you. If you can just shake him off, I should be able to survive for the time being."

Piao Miaoxu was slightly startled, finding some sense in his words.

"Retreat!" she bellowed sharply, turning to leave.

"Thinking of leaving?" The Immortal official cast a cold glance, about to pursue when Wang Mu blocked him.

"You cultivator, you truly are fearless of death," the Immortal official said, surprised. "Suffering from the roasting of the Karmic Fire, you don’t have many years left, and yet you dare to obstruct me?"

With that, he swept his hand again, and strands of Karmic Fire once again enveloped Wang Mu entirely.

He was currently sealed temporarily by the Moon God and Little Kun Kun. The Karmic Fire itself was not his power; it was a power bestowed from the Upper Realm, a special tool not part of his personal abilities. That was why he could use it.

However, as the Karmic Fire burned his body, a subtle change occurred in Wang Mu’s heart.

When the first strand of Karmic Fire had enveloped him, he had truly felt excruciating pain at first.

The life lent by the Ice Blue Ancient Tree was fading at a visible rate.

But when it reached a certain threshold, several types of Divine Flame hidden in his Spiritual Acupoint surged rapidly.

The Seven Emotions True Fire Scripture, which he had learned from Mo Xilan, normally couldn’t be cultivated to increase its strength. This was because the attributes of his body were greatly reduced as his Life Span dwindled. However, it was now enlivened.

Mo Xilan’s Seven Emotions True Fire Scripture... it can be upgraded and enhanced with new Divine Flames...

Wang Mu had not forgotten the core of the Seven Emotions True Fire Scripture.

Although he could not cultivate, his Nascent Soul was still present, and the four kinds of Divine Flames within it were rapidly circulating. His Nascent Soul began to gradually take control of the Karmic Fire, slowly integrating it into his Sea of Consciousness.

Mo Xilan’s Seven Emotions True Fire Scripture isn’t bad at all... Wang Mu couldn’t help but think fondly of Mo Xilan.

Meanwhile, the Immortal official was suddenly taken aback. He had wanted to leave this place and pursue her, but he abruptly discovered that several strands of Karmic Fire had vanished.

He looked at Wang Mu in shock, his face filled with astonishment.
