Karmic Chains
Ryu stood in silence for a long while. He hadn't expected this qi to actually allow him to manipulate it in the first place. If there was such a benefit to Dao Hearts shattering, or at the very least, a benefit that was easy to take advantage of, it wouldn't be such a depressing matter for it to occur in the first place.
Ryu felt a great amount of discomfort just being in the presence of this qi. He realized that this was a qi that didn't even hold any true power, it just continuously attacked his psyche, as though it was filled with the negative emotions of the world.
Suddenly, Ryu's heart skipped a beat as he remembered yet another legend that he had read. This time, though, this legend was most definitely based on a true story, because this was something all cultivators were aware of.
