Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2164 A Wave Of Karma

Chapter 2164  A Wave Of Karma

Lady Kang had never witnessed anything like this before. The webs that composed the wave seemed to be ethereal in nature and even looking at them proved to be hard. They disappeared the moment one lossy focus, as if they didn't even exist.

'For a property like that to be displayed… What kind of presence is trying to encroach upon my being?' Lady Kang wondered.

The waves swished around the dome of stars, but was unable to do anything to it while Lady Kang watched it pensively. She had faith that the dome of stars would protect her, but she was still apprehensive of the wave that had managed to appear within her Dantian. It was clearly trying to crush her Nascent soul somehow but she didn't know why it happened. The waves lasted for a bit before they finally disappeared into nothingness.

"No sign of its origin or source…" Lady Kang muttered in confusion.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Once the danger seemingly pa.s.sed, the stars flew back up, as if wanting to take their rightful places. "What was that?" Lady Kang questioned looking up at the Star Chart.

~humm~

In response the stars trembled, as if showing their hesitation too.

"Can you show me? I need to know." Lady Kang asked the Star chart.

To others this might seem like a strange scene as Cultivators didn't necessarily communicate with their Dao Embryo's like this. If they needed something from them, they could simply command. Requesting was not a thing, since the Dao Embryos were supposed to be a part of themselves.

But in the case of Lady Kang, it was different. Her Dao Embryo was unique and had its own consciousness!

~HONG~

At the woman's insistence, the stars decided to answer her. They swirled in the sky, and became brighter.

Lady Kang watched it all closely before seeing a vague image forming within them. 'It's incomplete?' The image seemed to not show whatever being that had targeted her properly. All she could see were, "Legs?" Eight ma.s.sive legs were depicted by the stars, the ends of which could not be seen. From their shape, Lady Kang could at least tell that they belonged to a spider, but had no idea what kind of spider could be this big.

~RUMBLE~

The image didn't last long though, as the stars seemingly hit an obstacle. "AH!" Lady Kang also felt a pain in her head, which was reflected in the stars that beam unsettled.

~WHOOSH~

As if afraid, the stars quickly returned to their own places and became stagnant.

"I… Such response from the stars…" Lady Kang's face went pale as she finally understood what had happened. "There's actually someone that could cause the Astral Star Chart to recoil…" she had only ever read about something happening before.

'The Astral Star Chart that can protect from divination is actually afraid of this… There can only be one thing that can pressure it… Karma.' Lady Kang's heart beat wildly.

She had long since heard and read about the power of Karma and how it was something cultivators needed to take heed of. For those that that had just started cultivating or those that were below the Immortal realm, Karma didn't matter as much.

The cultivators in those stages were more worried about their next breakthrough and how to gather the needed resources for it. As such, there was no way they could be bothered to think about the Karma they would be acc.u.mulating alongside it.

In that stage, the Karma didn't matter as much, since they simply couldn't acc.u.mulate much of it.

It was in the Immortal Realm that Karma started to matter a bit more and cultivators might start paying attention. Even then they often ignored it or were simply unaware, going through the realm until it was time for a tough breakthrough.

Karma was said to affect fortune itself, thus one needed to be aware of how much they had. Estimating it was obviously not an easy thing and one could only have a vague idea of how much Karma they had. The only thing they could do was to make sure they were as prepared as they could.

But when one went past the Immortal Realm and became a Celestial, Karma would become an important thing they needed to watch out for. They would double think about anything they did, while trying to keep the Karma in check.

Another major thing Karma affected was divination. Many forms of divination primarily utilized Karma as a means of sensing. Without it, many of them might simply not work. Lady Kang's Astral Star Chart Dao Embryo had a special ability of being able to defend against divination attempts by obscuring her own Karma with the power of the Stars. But while it could obscure her own Karma, it could not block other's Karma as well.

But for someone's Karma to directly affect her like this was not an easy thing. Lady Kang had researched a lot about her Dao Embryo and knew that even a Celestial might not be able to affect her through Karma easily. And especially not by something like a voice.

'What kind of being can have Karma so great, merely their voice can affect me?' Lady Kang was at a loss.

But she didn't know that this was merely the start of her shock, and there was more to come.

~SHUA~

She returned her consciousness to her body and observed what was happening outside. Her Immortal Qi was still being slowed down by the aura of death, but she could still hear things around her.

Another thing was that, everything within her Dantian had happened in the span of a few seconds, even though it felt like a long time had pa.s.sed. It was rather mystical and was such was the effect of Karma that even time might slow down.

"The Aura of death here is far too strong!" Xukong's voice was heard once more, shocking Lady Kang and the others. "You need to get out of this teleportation channel." He stated.
