The Scales of Karma

Shen Liu is the most lowly outer disciple of Qingyun Sect. With mediocre spiritual roots, he suffers endless bullying. When an inner-sect prodigy backs him into a corner, steals his pills, and destroys his path to cultivation, the forbidden law deep in his soul awakens: the [Karmic Scales]!

"Sacrifice three years of comprehension and gain a Foundation Establishment strike!"

"Sacrifice fifty years of life and instantly kill an enemy!"

"Sacrifice a lifetime of love and break through to invincibility!"

This is a path of demonic slaughter that trades the future for the present, bartering away humanity for power. While everyone else is still struggling to meditate and comprehend the Dao, Shen Liu has begun making cold deals with the Heavenly Dao, trading his lifespan, emotions, memories, even his fortune...

He slays prodigies, cuts down elders, and throws sects into chaos! When he reaches the summit and looks back, he discovers that he sacrificed everything long ago, becoming the richest and poorest person in the world: a lord beyond price.
