Chapter 978 Taotie Blessing (1/2)

The Law Domain stage experts gazed intently at the huge light mirror where two bright lotus flowers were slowly blooming. Wu Yao and Su Youwei were frozen within the lotus flowers, and a hideous scar had torn their bodies and caused chaos to their Genesis Qi.

“Reversal Art...”

Studying the lotus flower that appeared below the two women, the Law Domain experts wore a strange expression on their faces. Jin Zhong of the Wushen Region and Lu Xuangang of the Zixiao Region visibly tensed up.

They knew it was the Reversal Art.

It was an extremely mysterious and bizarre Little Saint Genesis Art from the Wushen Region. Once mastered, it was said to be able to pass on fatal injuries to one’s attacker.

It was just that...they had never heard that the Reversal Art could freeze and seal space.

They could tell that the Sacred Lotus was incredibly mysterious and that it vaguely exuded the energy of the Law Domain. It was no wonder that it could freeze both Su Youwei and Wu Yao like a seal.

Lu Xuangang swept a glance over Zhao Xuansun. “The Wanzu Region’s Reversal Art is famous but is known to be extremely difficult to practice. I have never heard of anybody beneath the Nascent Source stage who has mastered this technique.”

Zhao Xiansun smiled, saying, “Zhao Mushen has outstanding talent. It isn’t surprising that he could master this technique.”

Jin Zhong further inquired, “But I have never heard that the Wanzu Region’s Reversal Art also has the power of the Sacred Lotus Seal.”

The Reversal Art performed by Zhao Mushen was very special. It possessed the power of the Sacred Lotus Seal and even healed his fatal injuries.

The technique was simply in defiance of the natural order. Not only did it reverse fatal injury onto the opponent, but it could also heal wounds, which differed hugely to the normal Reversal Art!

Zhao Xiansun smiled. “This is Zhao Mushen’s blessing, and it isn’t convenient for me to say anything.”

Jin Zhong snorted and couldn't say anything.

He exchanged a glance with Lu Xuangang, and they scrunched their bows. It was obvious that the situation didn’t look good for their regions.

....

In the deep pit, Zhao Mushen looked up at the two beautiful figures bound by the two lotuses. With a smile, he gradually rose into the sky and arrived before them.

“In the end, I am still better,” Zhao Mushen said softly.

Wu Yao’s and Su Youwei’s eyes flickered up at him. Everybody could tell that they were using all their strength to get rid of the Sacred Lotus Seal.

Zhao Mushen’s gaze shifted to Wu Yao, staring at her stunning face with deep admiration. “Wu Yao, did you know that what I really coveted in the nine regions tournament wasn’t the number one position of the nine regions, but...you?”

Zhao Mushen shook his head. “Don't misunderstand. I don’t covet you. To be precise, it's the Blessing inside your body.”

Wu Yao’s pupils shrank.

What exactly did Zhao Mushen want to do? Did he want to take her Blessing? But this was impossible because Blessings couldn’t be taken away so easily. Her father was only able to extract the Blessing from Zhou Yuan and instill it into her and Wu Huang’s bodies because they were born on the same day. Also, their bodies matched the Blessing’s requirements!

But Zhao Mushen wasn’t born on the same day as her!

“It's weird, isn't it?” Zhao Mushen laughed. “I don’t meet the conditions to take away your Blessing. But unfortunately for you...there are a lot of things in this world that don't follow the rules.”

The lotus flower mark at the center of his eyebrows suddenly glowed, and vaguely, a mysterious aura gushed out. Even the universe Genesis Qi was faintly showing strange movements.

Everybody was stunned to see an illusory silhouette emerge behind Zhao Mushen.

The silhouette seemed to be that of a mysterious giant monster. It lifted its head and roared skywards. Its large and deep mouth was like the mouth of a giant abyss.

Wu Yao’s heart trembled when she saw the mysterious silhouette forming behind Zhao Mushen. It’s some sort of Blessing?!

Zhao Mushen also possesses a Blessing!

But Wu Yao was unable to identify what being Zhao Mushen’s Blessing came from.

As though he had read Wu Yao’s mind, Zhao Mushen said with a smile, “The Blessing I possess is called the Taotie (a mythological Chinese creature) Blessing. Since the dawn of time, a sacred beast has existed. It’s called the Ancestral Taotie.

“The Taotie Blessing is weak when born, but it possesses a special ability that other Blessings don’t have...and that is the ability to devour other Blessings.”

Wu Yao’s pupils suddenly shrank. She had never expected Zhao Mushen to possess such a special Blessing! It was no wonder that he had said what he really coveted in the nine regions tournament was the Blessing in her body. He wanted to swallow her Blessing!

Zhao Mushen looked at Wu Yao and said softly, “Wu Yao, do you think I was always this outstanding? You’re wrong. In truth, my talent was extremely ordinary when I set foot on the cultivation path. I was just a stepping stone for other people.

“It was the Taotie Blessing that got me to where I am today. I’m about to break through to the Heavenly Sun stage. If I devour your Blessing, I’m certain it will make my breakthrough perfect.” He smiled. “So...excuse me.”

Roar!

Behind him, the blurry Taotie Blessing unleashed a soundless roar, and black light spread out of its mouth like fog and surrounded Wu Yao.
