I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life
#284 - Conquer the Great Saint of the Ancient Clan
The ancient races probably didn't have the saying 'food handed out in contempt,' but they could discern the disdain in Luo Mo's words.
But so what?
They were already at the very end of their rope and wouldn't last much longer. Now that they had a great opportunity to receive a rich replenishment of vital energy, they couldn't help but be tempted to act.
As for verbal insults, they would endure them for now.
They broke free from the divine source blocks, one by one unsealed. The ancient kings, each with their bizarre appearances, began to pick up the pure Yang pills on the ground, not caring about the dirtiness of these pills.
A single pure Yang pill contained extremely abundant and pure vital energy. For these ancient kings, it could not only be used to replenish vital energy but also to repair some hidden injuries left by being in a weakened state for a long time, restoring their saintly origins.
The efficacy of such pills was truly wonderful, and there were so many of them. It was simply the heavens leaving them a chance to live, sending someone to save them on purpose.
More than forty ancient kings went from being withered to full, their aging faces becoming ruddy and radiant due to the replenishment of their origins and essence.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, their cultivation basically restored, their confidence also emerged. Even if the person who came held an ancient emperor's weapon, they had the confidence to talk on equal terms, because several of the ancient kings here came from ancient emperor clans. Even if this human held an ancient emperor's weapon, he would have to give face to the various ancient races.
At this moment, they still didn't know who they were facing.
With his essence replenished by the pure Yang pills, the Thousand-Armed Ancient King's arms all stretched out. His black body was like a demon statue, his crimson hair danced wildly. Although his aura as a Great Saint was restrained, it still oppressed the heavens and earth with every move he made. His powerful aura spread out along with his voice.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving us. We will surely repay you handsomely in the future."
Although this human saint's expression was a bit annoying, the fact that he had saved their lives was also true. Therefore, the Great Saint, the Thousand-Armed Ancient King, came over to thank him politely.
Another horned dragon Great Saint on the high platform asked coldly, "What year is it today? Are there any ancient stars with life nearby?"
Luo Mo smiled without saying a word.
The horned dragon Great Saint glared, "I'm asking you a question!"
The Thousand-Armed Great Saint didn't have any expression. The horned dragon Great Saint's clan greatly liked the taste of humans, raising many human servants. They had always had this commanding attitude towards humans.
Especially after his favorite children were slaughtered and roasted by the Human Devil, his attitude towards humans became even worse, and as a Great Saint, he never concealed it.
Although the other party had an ancient emperor's weapon, they had now recovered. Even if they couldn't beat him, they wouldn't dare to take a blow from an ancient emperor's weapon, but they could run. As a Great Saint, there was nothing wrong with not giving a little saint face.
Luo Mo slowly opened his mouth and said, "You may be somewhat unaware of how to seek death."
The horned dragon Great Saint's gaze swept over the Devouring Heaven Demon Pot in Luo Mo's hand, revealing a trace of fear, but he still calmly said, "A mere human dares to seek repayment for a favor?"
"Seek repayment for a favor? Heh," Luo Mo sneered. "I fed you, just to keep you as dogs. Don't try to raise your own status."
His tone was cold, because at this moment he had already scanned these ancient kings with his true spirit imprint, and while talking to the horned dragon Great Saint, he quickly browsed through the other party's memories with his divine sense.
How should he put it? Even Luo Mo's breeding farm in the Southern Range wouldn't cruelly kill the wild beasts that provided meat, eggs, and milk, but these ancient races would.
In ancient times, the status of humans in the Big Dipper was very low, far less prosperous than the various ancient races. Raising humans as blood food and servants was something that many ancient races would do.
In the original story, there were still many ancient races holding onto the ideas of ancient times. In this life, it was Luo Mo who destroyed several ancient races, killed the Myriad Dragon Nest Great Saint, established the Dao Alliance, and replaced the Heavenly Emperor's son, that he nipped this evil trend in the bud.
But clearly, this horned dragon Great Saint was a fish that slipped through the net.
"Impudent!"
With the horned dragon Great Saint's roar, the remaining ancient kings all instantly flashed away. The already dilapidated purple bronze warship was now even more broken. The ancient kings scattered in all directions directly smashed their way out.
Dark light swept across, scouring the starry sky. The horned dragon Great Saint was instantly swallowed by the dark light emitted by the Devouring Heaven Demon Pot, but then, his body turned into a wisp of vital energy and dissipated.
This was actually a false body, an empty shell he had created with vital energy.
"A saint dares to attack me? If not for the protection of an ancient emperor's weapon, you would have already shed your blood in the starry sky!"
A vast divine voice came from all directions, making it impossible to distinguish the location. The horned dragon Great Saint had already concealed his figure. No matter how brave the ancient emperor's weapon was, it had to hit someone to work.
The Silver-Scaled Great Saint waved his hand to collect the purple bronze warship. The huge warship shrunk to the palm of his hand. He sighed, "I don't know when it can be repaired."
After speaking, he looked at Luo Mo with a gloomy gaze. The silver scales on his brow opened and closed, and a divine light shot out, shining towards Luo Mo. It was a divine eye.
The light of the divine eye collided with the dark light emitted by the Devouring Heaven Demon Pot and was directly annihilated, unable to contend at all. He also had no intention of contending. What remained in place was also just an illusion, his true body already concealed.
Although the Thousand-Armed Great Saint had thanked Luo Mo before, he also said at this moment, "Even if the human ancient emperor came, he would not be able to make us submit. How dare you, a little saint, utter such wild words!"
Luo Mo: ?
Who gave you the courage?
If the Yin and Yang Heavenly Emperor really came, you would probably kneel down very smoothly. As for me—
"Submit!"
As soon as the two words came out, a pile of ancient kings suddenly popped out from the surrounding void of the universe.
These ancient kings had originally escaped from the purple bronze warship because of the horned dragon Great Saint's provocative words, and then concealed themselves, but now they all actively appeared, each with chaotic divine power, their bodies covered with a garment woven from colorful lightning. The aura of divine power and Dao principles was chaotic and running around randomly.
The concealment techniques they had originally cast could not be maintained because of this, and all of them manifested from the void.
Even the three Great Saints frowned, because as soon as Luo Mo said those two words, the divine power in their bodies shook, almost completely chaotic.
Was the pill poisonous?
They immediately thought of this.
After all, their contact with Luo Mo was just this one thing.
"My name is Luo Mo, and I will be your master."
As Luo Mo announced, the forty ancient kings somersaulted in the air, their divine power scurrying around in their bodies, their hands and feet also constantly disobeying orders, and then they knelt down in the void.
You can't eat things from strangers casually. Of course, they won't need this life experience in the future.
The three Great Saints also couldn't maintain their form from the void. The divine power in their bodies rioted with every word Luo Mo said, wanting to break free from control, wanting to rebel.
They also relied on their Great Saint level cultivation to suppress this abnormality, while the other ancient kings didn't have this ability. After eating Luo Mo's pills, they were now all obediently kneeling in the void.
"Soul!"
"Flesh!"
"Puppet!"
"Curse!"
… …
Luo Mo spoke one word at a time. Every time he spoke a word, these ancient kings' bodies twitched. Their divine power, divine sense, essence blood, and bones all seemed to be reborn, as if they were about to burst out.
"Contract!"
A stream of air gushed out from the bodies of all the ancient kings, revealing an ancient contract, which had been branded with their aura at some point.
At this moment, this contract became the shackles that bound them.
More than forty ancient kings completely lost their combat power with just a few words from Luo Mo, while the three Great Saints were still struggling. They used great supernatural powers to extract the contract completely from their flesh and primordial spirit, and then tore it apart, dissipating the remaining aura from their bodies.
"You actually played tricks in the pills!"
Nonsense, did you think I gave them to you for nothing?
Moreover, did you think you could tear up the contract so easily?
The Three Thousand Great Daos, the Great Contract Technique alone, was a contract that I induced you to sign, and its effect on you Great Saint level cultivators is naturally not strong, but what if there's this too?
"Karma!"
As the word Karma came out of Luo Mo's mouth, the Great Dao vibrated in the vacuum, and the invisible threads also vibrated. Then, Luo Mo swept them up with his hand, grasping them all in his hand, like he was holding three dog leashes.
Gu Li
Three Thousand Great Daos, Great Karma Technique!
"You were all supposed to die. It was I who gave you new life, gave you the opportunity to live. Repay this karma with your fate and freedom!"
Luo Mo's words were like rolling thunder, every syllable deafening, rumbling in their primordial spirits, suppressing their thinking, making them almost unable to think normally, wanting to treat Luo Mo's words as truth.
As if karma was fixed, they owed a life-saving grace and should work like cows and horses to repay it.
In front of a cultivator who knows the Great Karma Technique, owing such a great karma, it's fortunate that you are Great Saints, and can still resist the power of the Great Karma Technique with your higher cultivation, otherwise you would have already knelt down as dogs.
The three ancient race Great Saints struggled desperately, their divine senses burning to burn the invisible karma threads, until their primordial spirits shrank by a circle before they broke free from the shackles of the Great Karma Technique.
But what's terrifying is that those causal threads, though temporarily broken by them, are re-knitting themselves. Cause and effect will be entangled for eternity, and they won't be able to escape. This is the power of the second greatest Grand Dao, the Art of Causality, and this is just one aspect of its application.
They clearly didn't know these secrets, and merely thought they had barely managed to escape the other party's control at a considerable cost.
"What a terrifying secret art."
"To think that even my nascent soul was almost controlled by a mere Saint."
The three Great Sages were still shaken. At this moment, their nascent souls had shrunk considerably, because they had burned their divine thoughts to break free. A few more times like that, and even they, as Great Sages, wouldn't be able to bear it. For a mere Saint to make them pay such a painful price, without even using an Ancient Emperor Weapon, was simply a fantasy.
Luo Mo felt somewhat regretful. "As expected, it's still not enough. The power of causality needs to undergo several transformations and be nurtured carefully before it can grow strong, but I don't want to wait."
If he waited for a period of time, secretly manipulating things and cultivating layers of causal power to entwine these three Great Sages, then by relying on such a great debt of gratitude, he could simply snap his fingers and these three would obediently kneel before him.
But the method of 'long-line fishing' isn't suitable for subduing people like this. If possible, it's always better to do it as quickly as possible.
Luo Mo cast out a crystal-clear treasure pearl. After being cast out, the pearl disintegrated in the starry sky, transforming into a surging river. The water quality gradually changed from colorless to a faint, dusky yellow.
It's rare to have three sandbags. Might as well practice the newly cultivated Grand Daos.
The yellow river flowing in the starry sky made the three Great Sages stare in fascination, because they saw their own reflections in the river, reflecting scenes that seemed to be their past lives, hazy and dreamlike.
"That's not right!"
Silver Scale Great Sage's divine eye opened between his brows, a divine light flashed, dispelling this state.
"Don't look! This seems to be the water from the Reincarnation Sea forbidden zone!"
The water of the Reincarnation Sea, when viewed by ordinary people, would cause ominous things to happen, with hair of indeterminate colors growing on their bodies. According to ancient legends, the water of the Reincarnation Sea was left behind by the metamorphosis of the Underworld Sovereign, and a special curse existed within it.
Silver Scale Great Sage relied on the divine eye on his forehead to break free, and then quickly reminded his companions.
Thousand Arms Great Sage and Dragon Horn Great Sage also woke up. They were still shaken by the scenes they had just seen from the yellow waters. Was that really their past lives? Does reincarnation truly exist in the world?
"Thanks to your reminder… Wait, what's wrong with you guys!"
Dragon Horn Great Sage suddenly exclaimed, "Why are red and green hairs growing on your bodies!"
Who knew that Thousand Arms Great Sage and Silver Scale Great Sage would say the same thing: "You have them too!"
Then they understood that all three of them had been tricked.
Sure enough, the water of the Reincarnation Sea had a curse!
For Luo Mo, who was manipulating all of this, it was normal for the water that Duan De had bathed in to have a curse. It was actually convenient for him to use.
But for others, it was an untouchable thing. Most people didn't understand the root of the curse of the Underworld, and those who did understand were helpless against it. The Holy Body of Holy Cliff, the parents of Wu Shi, were unable to solve this problem.
Only Luo Mo not only used curses as nourishment, but also as weapons.
Therefore, he simply refined the Reincarnation Lake into a Yellow Springs River, in which two Grand Daos resided: the Grand Reincarnation Art and the Grand Curse Art.
After knowing that they had been cursed, the three ancient race Great Sages ignited the Dao fire within their bodies and burned away the red, gold, and green hairs on their bodies.
But the Yellow Springs River was right next to them, constantly emitting the power of the curse, urging the hair on their bodies to grow wildly. Their nails were also growing, and their bones were deforming, changing in the direction of evil ghosts.
Luo Mo wasn't flustered. He used the Yellow Springs River to reel in the ancestral kings who were kneeling in the starry sky and put them into his magical treasure, to be saved together later.
After he finished picking up the spoils, he came to deal with these three Great Sages.
Dao Venerable's Heaven and Earth Dharma Image merged with his physical body, and surging mana completely replaced divine power. Now it was the Eternal Life Law combat mode.
Under Luo Mo's infusion of mana, the Yellow Springs River suddenly expanded billions of times, enough to submerge some small stars. The rolling river water swept towards the three ancient race Great Sages.
Upon seeing this, Dragon Horn Great Sage and Silver Scale Great Sage quickly traversed space to escape. They were now possessed by the curse, and it was already extremely difficult to suppress the power of the curse to maintain consciousness, let alone fight a human race with an Ancient Emperor Weapon.
Thousand Arms Great Sage was a step slower because his cultivation was the weakest, and was subsequently swept into the depths of the Yellow Springs River.
This river was also a magical treasure, and the internal space was completely filled with water. Thousand Arms Great Sage sank to the deepest part of this magical treasure.
He struggled constantly, unleashing waves of turbulent divine power, but he couldn't transmit it out in the Yellow Springs River. Although this water had lost the strange substance that could temper the nascent soul for the Dao attainers, its essence was still extraordinary. It wasn't something that a Great Sage could break through.
Moreover, the Yellow Springs River was now a magical treasure, and Luo Mo was constantly infusing it with mana. The force exerted by the thousand arms of the ancient race Thousand Arms Great Sage was completely resolved by the Yellow Springs River. It was just that the consumption of pure Yang power was a bit more, which was nothing to Luo Mo.
However, the more he struggled, the more severe the curse invaded. Luo Mo activated the Grand Curse Art, allowing the power of the curse to control his body and disrupt his spellcasting. The power of the curse didn't recognize his realm. In the end, he sank to the deepest part, completely possessed and controlled by the curse. The dark, god-iron-like body grew red hair, and sharp claws grew on a thousand arms. His face was like an evil ghost, and he was suppressed in the depths of the Yellow Springs River.
Seeing that the Grand Curse Art had initially controlled the other party's body, with only a little bit of spiritual light guarding the nascent soul, Luo Mo began to activate the Grand Reincarnation Art.
The water of the Yellow Springs River still had the characteristic of eroding the nascent soul, making it perfect for urging the Grand Reincarnation Art.
The Grand Reincarnation Art transformed the water into water vapor, which entered the body of the Thousand Arms Great Sage.
Under the control of the Grand Reincarnation Art, the dusky yellow water vapor surrounded his nascent soul, and then began to wash it.
"The power of reincarnation, washing away all traces of the mortal world. All your memories will cease to exist, all resistance will be dissolved, all resentment will dissipate…"
The power of the Grand Reincarnation Art and the water vapor of the Yellow Springs River began to erode the nascent soul of the Thousand Arms Great Sage. He let out a miserable cry, not because of pain, because it didn't hurt at all, but because he was terrified that his memories were being cleansed, that all kinds of traces were being reincarnated, and that his life was about to be killed in this way!
"No! No! Don't kill me!"
"I will grant you reincarnation and new life."
"I don't want such a new life. This is not a new life, this is death, this is the most cruel death!"
Thousand Arms Ancestral King was very frightened. If he completely lost his memory and completely lost his self, he would truly die! His nascent soul shrank into a ball, resisting the water vapor of the Yellow Springs River and the power of the Grand Reincarnation Art. This made the speed of his memory dissipation very slow. If he continued to resist like this, it would take hundreds of years to completely reincarnate him, provided that Luo Mo's cultivation didn't improve.
After all, the gap in cultivation was too great. He could defeat him, but it was difficult to control him.
"Don't resist, it's just futile. You will eventually become a part of reincarnation, strengthening my reincarnation."
"What bullshit reincarnation, I don't believe in reincarnation!" Thousand Arms Ancestral King shouted almost in collapse.
Luo Mo shook his head, "Obstinately clinging to error."
"The wheel of fate rolls forward, the power of fate is unstoppable, in the name of fate, I banish you into reincarnation, your fate is to become a servant of reincarnation…"
Luo Mo chanted the Minor Art of Destiny, and also began to train in this divine power. In an instant, eight thousand years of lifespan burned, turning into a powerful force of destiny that penetrated into the nascent soul of the Thousand Arms Ancestral King.
The originally indestructible nascent soul defense was directly broken by the mighty force of destiny at this moment, and the power of reincarnation poured into it, completely washing it away, cleansing all the dirt stained in the mortal world, and cleansing all the traces left by time.
The nascent soul was pure and spotless.
A nascent soul like a blank sheet of paper floated in the Yellow Springs River.
Luo Mo used the experimental product to practice his newly cultivated Grand Reincarnation Art, and also familiarized himself with the function of the Minor Art of Destiny to burn lifespan. "The Grand Reincarnation Art has quite a few methods for processing the nascent soul."
Fortunately, he had quite a few experimental products.
In addition to nascent soul processing, there was also physical body processing, which could be combined with the Grand Curse Art, the Grand Netherworld Art, the Grand Puppet Art, etc., to refine some corpse puppets, reincarnation puppets, and Six Paths puppets, which would be very good.
In the future, using the name of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor in the starry sky, his subordinates could have the same vests, and then compete with the Underworld for business, using the Grand Reincarnation Art to construct his own reincarnation.
After the Underworld's business was robbed, he could still compete with the Reincarnation Road for business.
Luo Mo shifted his gaze from the Yellow Springs River and looked into the distance along the direction of the causal threads. Two ancient race Great Sages were running wildly in the starry sky.
Run?
Is running useful?
My Six Paths of Pain… Ah, no, the Six Paths of Reincarnation are still short of people.
