Blood Karma

Foolishness—complete foolishness. Only now did the surviving dragons realize how foolish they were to think they could eventually influence Huan Yi and pull him back to the dragon clan. From the start, they didn't have a chance.

Overwhelmed by terror, the 18 primordial dragons stayed prostrated at their father's feet—not daring to assist Ailong or raise their heads.

Shangqing's mutilated face twisted in a mix of shame and horror. He was one of the Three Venerables, Master of Spiritual Treasures and Lord of the Present! Yet the full release of Huan Yi's aura was enough to reduce him into one of the degenerates that he despised so much. Tears dropped down the Zealous Venerable's cheek—or at least what remained of it.

Huan Yi's current form, the Primordial Evil Anima, Spiritual Energy, and Shangqing's own injuries all led to this catastrophic result. But as one of the Three Venerables, Shangqing couldn't accept being dominated so easily by a Spiritual Power.
