Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 160 Refining Karma!

"Half-step into the Great Dao? How could you possibly be half-step into the Great Dao?!" The Soul Devouring Ancestor said with some surprise and astonishment!

Although he was surprised that Taihao also possessed the strength of a half-step Great Dao, he was not someone who had never seen the world!

The black aura surrounding him condensed into a ghost face, which then swallowed Taihao's attack whole!

Taihao sensed that after the Devouring Ancestor absorbed his attack, his strength actually increased slightly, albeit very slightly, but he still felt it!

"Huh, I didn't expect you to have such a deep foundation. Let me see how much you can swallow!" Taihao saw that the Spirit Devouring Ancestor was actually able to absorb his attack.

One person's ability to devour things is limited, so Taihao directly continued to consume himself.

He continuously unleashed his magic power at the Spirit Devouring Ancestor, who also tasted the benefits. He had absorbed the attacks of many people before, but none of them had been as powerful as Taihao's attack, which actually enhanced his strength.

This is an opportunity for him. If he seizes it, he can break through to the peak of the half-step Great Dao. Although he has only recently broken through to the half-step Great Dao, he has no bottlenecks because of his cultivation technique. As long as he accumulates enough, he can keep breaking through.

Therefore, he accepts everything that comes his way, absorbing it all into his body!

However, the Soul Devouring Ancestor quickly realized something was wrong. It was absorbing energy too quickly, while his refining speed couldn't keep up, and it began to wreak havoc within his body!

Upon discovering this phenomenon, the Soul Devouring Ancestor tried to stop, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't stop anymore!

Taihao's magic power was like glue, directly sticking the two of them together!

He tried everything but couldn't push away Taihao's magic power. Taihao's magic power was continuously flowing into the body of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor.

The already unattractive face of the Soul Devouring Ancestor began to contort further!

"Ah...stop it now!" The Soul Devouring Ancestor absorbed too much of Taihao's magic power, and he didn't have the ability to refine the absorbed magic power and turn it into his own. It's like a water tank that can only hold one bucket of water, but if you try to fill it with another bucket, it will burst!

He's like that water bucket now; if things continue like this, he'll be burst by Taihao's magic power!

"Since you want my magic power, then I can't be stingy!" Taihao said to the Spirit Devouring Ancestor with a relaxed expression!

Looking at the relaxed Taihao, the Devouring Spirit Ancestor almost vomited blood. Because of his own greed, this had led to what happened. If he hadn't absorbed Taihao's magic power, this situation wouldn't have occurred!

Even if he wasn't as strong as him, he was still a half-step Great Dao expert, so he was confident he could escape!

But now, even if he wanted to escape, it would be impossible, because it had been controlled by Taihao's magic!

He had exhausted all his means, but he still couldn't break free from Taihao's control!

He was truly terrified now. He had lived for too long, and he didn't want to die. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to absorbing other people's blood essence to survive!

Although this way you can survive, living like this is not a pleasant experience!

Burdened by karma, he could only hide using secret techniques, otherwise the cosmic tribulation would not spare him!

However, the secret technique didn't last long. After that, he hid and tried every possible way to prevent the lightning tribulation from finding him!

"Tell me why you're still alive despite being burdened by karma. If you hand over your secret technique, I'll stop using my magic and let you refine it!" Taihao was extremely interested in this secret technique that allowed someone burdened by karma to survive!

Because after he destroyed several worlds recently, he felt a trace of karma swirling within him, and no matter what he tried, it was to no avail.

If the Taihao Realm wants to grow rapidly, it must wage war. Where there is battle, there will be death, and death will occur world after world. As the instigator, Taihao will bear the strongest karma! Therefore, it desperately needs this secret technique!

"Really? You mean it?" the Soul Devouring Ancestor asked hesitantly.

"My words are as precious as gold," Taihao said with certainty.

"You must make a cosmic oath," the Soul Devouring Ancestor then said!

He didn't believe Taihao's verbal promises. The cosmic oath was the most powerful oath, binding even those who surpassed the Great Dao level; otherwise, chaos would have ensued long ago!

Taihao also learned from the ancestral patriarch that the cosmic oath is an invisible force in the universe. As long as you make an oath, a force will fall upon you. If you break the oath, no matter how powerful you are, you will be destroyed by the cosmic oath!

Therefore, the universal oath is the most persuasive thing in the universe!

"Alright, I, Taihao, swear that as long as the Spirit Devouring Ancestor hands over the true secret technique, I will never kill him. If I break this oath, may my soul and spirit be annihilated!" Taihao swore without hesitation.

When the Soul Devouring Ancestor saw that Taihao had sworn not to kill him and had not only withdrawn his magic power, he felt somewhat grateful to Taihao!

After Taihao finished making the oath, he felt an energy surge from an unknown place, instantly entering his body and merging into his soul. Taihao sensed it briefly and knew that this was the binding force of the cosmic oath. If he broke the oath, this energy would explode directly in his soul.

This is not just a superficial explosion of the divine soul, but a direct shattering of the primordial divine soul. If it were just a shattering of the divine soul, Taihao would have many ways to come back to life and quickly recover his lost divine soul. However, once the primordial divine soul is destroyed, he will simply disappear, and Taihao will never exist again in this world!

The Soul Devouring Ancestor was quite decisive, directly handing over the secret technique to Taihao, who then withdrew his magic power!

After Taihao withdrew his magic power, the Spirit Devouring Ancestor immediately began to refine Taihao's magic power, and Taihao also began to cultivate the secret technique given to him by the Spirit Devouring Ancestor!

This secret technique has no other function than refining karma, but it also has certain limitations!

After examining it, Taihao discovered that it was incomplete and flawed. According to Taihao's understanding, if the secret technique were complete, he could refine it regardless of the amount of karma involved.

Taihao had previously obtained a secret technique from the Heavenly Dao of the Tianhong World, but he couldn't cultivate it at all. He had been working on perfecting the secret technique, but when he received the secret technique from the Devouring Spirit Ancestor, he realized that the half of the secret technique was the second half of this one!

Taihao was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that the secret technique he casually obtained after the destruction of the Tianhong World would have such a great background, capable of refining karma!

Karma is what every cultivator fears most. Some people with great merit are absolutely not to be provoked. If you kill them, karma will be generated. The greater their merit, the stronger the karma on the person who killed them!

If too many people are killed, karma will be generated. If this karma binds you, it will summon a terrifying karmic tribulation, the most terrifying tribulation in the universe. No one can survive a karmic tribulation!

Now that Taihao possesses this heaven-defying secret technique that can refine karma, it is extremely important to him!

If he wants to make Taihao Realm break through to the top world as soon as possible, besides finding enough world power, he can only rely on devouring and merging other worlds. However, as long as he attacks other worlds, many people will die. Many of them have great merit. Although their merit is weak in the universe, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change!

Once accumulated to a certain degree, karma will erupt!

Taihao mastered the secret technique in just a few years, and the little karma he had left was directly refined and absorbed by him.
