Chapter 152 Karmic Fire

The first level of the Karmic Fire Formation requires enduring for thirty seconds to pass.

The moment Li Wei stepped through the door, the surrounding air suddenly became scorching hot—not just ordinary heat, but a heat wave rising from the depths of his soul, as if something was burning his meridians, bone marrow, and even his consciousness.

Karmic fire.

It is formless and intangible, yet it is everywhere.

It doesn't burn the physical body, but only the foundation of martial arts. Those with unstable foundations and weak martial arts foundations will have their dantian burned by the karmic fire as soon as they enter this formation. At best, their cultivation will regress; at worst, they will lose all their skills on the spot.

Li Wei stood in the center of the formation, feeling the karmic fire surging into his body.

In the dantian, one hundred and twenty-three martial arts seeds lit up simultaneously, and karmic fire surged like a tide, washing over each seed. Those with solid foundations remained motionless, while those with weak foundations swayed slightly in the flames, but quickly stabilized.

Li Wei's martial arts seeds are all at the pinnacle of perfection. They have been tempered by the liquid of the sun god and reinforced by the power of vows when they were forged from the Brahma bone. The solidity of his foundation far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

The karmic fire burned in, but it was like water meeting oil; it couldn't penetrate at all.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds —

Li Wei stood amidst the raging flames, his expression unchanged, without even a furrow of his brow.

The first layer of the Karmic Fire Formation has been passed.

Outside the examination hall, the stone tablet lit up again.

This time, the golden light was even more intense than before, and the characters on the stele seemed to burst forth:

[First Layer of the Karmic Fire Formation: Passed]

The square fell silent for a moment.

Then, a collective gasp of astonishment rang out.

The disciples guarding outside the hall looked at each other in shock. They knew what passing the first level of the Karmic Fire Formation meant—more than fifty mastered martial arts techniques. This was not something an ordinary Golden Bone cultivator could do; it was the threshold for a peerless genius.

"He—he passed the first level of the Karmic Fire Formation?"

One of the disciples muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.

The expression on Di Luo Shen Zi's face changed completely.

He had just been saying that "Li Wei's golden bones are the weakest," but now the stone tablet has given him a resounding slap in the face, the first layer of which...

The Karmic Fire Array, fifty mastered martial arts techniques—this is not the weakest Golden Bone, but a talent that is enough to make the elders of the sect take notice.

"impossible----"

He stared at the words on the stone tablet, his pupils trembling slightly.

"How could someone from the Ninth Town possibly possess fifty mastered martial arts techniques?"

His voice was a little dry, as if something was blocking his throat.

Yu Jialuo's lips curled up slightly, and her golden eyes held an undisguised shock.

Fifty kinds.

She hadn't expected that when she last saw Li Wei, he only had more than twenty kinds of martial arts seeds in his dantian. Even with the help of the Sun God Liquid, she thought he could only reach forty at most.

But now, there are fifty.

This surprise was even bigger than she had expected.

Ananga stood before the stone tablet, his hands tucked into his sleeves, serene and composed.

Her face didn't show much expression, but those who knew her well would notice that her eyes lit up. The light wasn't from surprise, but from appreciation, like an appraiser suddenly spotting a genuine antique in a vast market, their gaze involuntarily drawn to it.

"Fifty kinds," she said softly, her tone flat, but the last syllable rose slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible approval.

"Well done, Yu Jialuo." Ananga looked at Yu Jialuo. "I didn't expect that with your first move, you would recruit a Golden Bone disciple with fifty seeds of Mahayana martial arts for our sect. This kind of talent ranks among the top five among the Golden Bone disciples in our sect. You did a great job."

"So what if there are fifty? It's just a bit of luck. I have seventy-two." That was Di Luo Shen Zi saying.

Li Wei in the formation did not stop.

As the first layer of karmic fire receded, he stepped into the second layer.

The temperature of the second level of karmic fire is several times that of the first level. The flames are no longer formless and intangible, but rather faintly appear as a dark red color, like congealed blood. They surge from all directions, carrying a stronger corrosive force, attempting to penetrate his dantian and burn those martial arts seeds.

Li Wei closed his eyes, feeling the impact of the karmic fire.

Within his dantian, one hundred and twenty-three martial arts seeds vibrated simultaneously, releasing a layer of pale golden light that kept the karmic fire outside. The karmic fire collided, burned, and dissipated on the light barrier, but it could never break through.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, and then thirty seconds.

-

Li Wei even felt a little bored.

The second layer of the karmic fire formation was passed easily once again.

Outside the hall, the stone tablet lit up once again.

[Second Layer of Karmic Fire Formation: Passed]

This time, the square was in complete uproar.

"Sixty kinds! He has sixty mastered martial arts techniques!"

"What kind of monster is this? Did it come from a place like Nine Towns?"

"Among those in the sect who can pass the second level of the Karmic Fire Formation, I think only Senior Sister Yu Jialuo and Di Luo Shenzi are capable."

This time, Li Wei's passage through the second layer of the Karmic Fire Array had an immense impact on the people outside the hall, because previously, only Yu Jialuo and Di Luo Shenzi had passed through the second layer of the Karmic Fire Array within the sect.

Now that Li Wei has joined the sect, it means that Li Wei's talent ranks third among the Golden Bone disciples!

The disciples were buzzing with discussion, their voices filled with shock and envy.

The Divine Child of Earth did not speak.

He stood there, his face ashen, his lips tightly pressed together, the muscles in his jaw twitching slightly, his gaze fixed on the words on the stone tablet, as if he wanted to carve them off the surface.

Sixty kinds.

He himself had only seventy-two kinds.

How could someone from the Ninth Town, an ant he had previously disregarded, have managed to catch up to this extent?

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, but he felt no pain.

A complex look flashed in Yu Jialuo's eyes.

Sixty kinds? This number has exceeded her expectations. She recalled the scene when she first met Li Wei in Jiuzhen. There were only more than 20 kinds of martial arts seeds in her dantian, but now you are telling her that there are already sixty kinds.

Yu Jialuo felt as if she were dreaming.

"Hahaha!" Ananga suddenly burst into laughter. She never expected that her disciple would bring her such a genius. Before Yu Jialuo had his fortuitous encounter, he was only at this level.

The sixty advanced martial arts techniques will surely have a chance to reach the perfection of the three realms in the future.

Ananga was satisfied, even a little excited. With these talented disciples, she felt that one day in the future, the Great Sun Brahma Sect would surely usher in its golden age.

"Sixty kinds." She repeated the number, then looked at Yu Jialuo. "Yu Jialuo, you did very well."

Ananga repeated the same words about the third layer of the Karmic Fire Array.

Li Wei stepped through the final gate and was met with a sea of ​​fire.

This isn't a metaphor; it's a real sea of ​​fire.

Crimson-gold flames swept across the sky, stretching from the ground to the horizon. Runes flickered within the flames, each one radiating terrifying pressure, as if to incinerate anything that dared to step into them.

Li Wei took a deep breath and stepped into the sea of ​​fire.
