Monarch Blood!
Thanks to Yang Tian’s Vitality transfer, the attack was stopped, and Qing Xiaoyue radiated golden. Both the voodoo attack and Merit vanished. Yang Tian suspected somebody was targeting them. More impressive was that Merit had to sacrifice itself to erase it.
“Who the hell are you?!” raged Yang Tian, collapsing voids and generating a huge gale!
A dark blanket covered the sky. Golden thunder rumbled. People on the peak freaked out at the sight of golden lightning, inciting chaos. The sky rumbled. It looked as if a world calamity hit. Cultivators of the world peered up to the sky. Yang Tian peered through the illusions to find his target. He punched voids down. The freckles of stars trembled. Alas, he couldt find anyone.
Nightmare dragon: “It’s an artefact.”
Yang Tian was glad to hear the familiar voice. He asked, “Elder, can you tell who the culprit was?”
“Let me have a think… I remember Patriarch mention the three books the world created. They were: Heaven Book, Earth Book and Investiture of the Gods. There was Earth Book, Humanity Book, and Flimsy Life and Death!
“Investiture of the Gods is a book for sealing deities, making it the real god. Why it has the ability is anyone’s guess. Either way, nobody has seen it since forever. An ancient sage from the ruins of an ancient deity domain claimed the book was damaged. Others claim it has vanished.
“Heaven Book was the book deities used. Earth Book is the Earth’s creation. It could destroy any star, is made from some of the toughest material in the world and equally mysterious. Flimsy Life and Death is capable of a multitude of attacks and only requires you to write your target’s name it to kill!”
“Qing Xiaoyue is just a mortal. She would have died ages ago. I am not convinced it was Flimsy Life and Death.”
“You’re not considering the fact that the writer is a variable in its effectiveness. If the wielder isn’t an ordinary man, you would already be dead! … You are in Mountains and Rivers World?!”
“The copper altar brought me here.”
“Patriarch wanted to visit this planet in the past. Unfortunately, humans sealed the entrance.”
“What?! My ancestor could not get in?!”
“This is where Dao Sect originated. Skilled daoists set a seal here when the world changed. Patriarch could’ve entered, but he would’ve had to break the seal. He didn’t break it as he believed Dao Sect was planning something.”
“Elder, look to Jade Emperor Peak.” Yang Tian pointed to the peak.
The nightmare dragon frowned. “I can’t see what your point is.
“What do you mean? I can sense tremendous energy circulating there. The ancient monarch’s shrine is also there. It can manifest divine devils! It is amazing!”
“Maybe your fate is linked to it. You are the only one who can find the answer. You must take it.”
Yang Tian nodded and mentioned Yin and Yang, Life and Death Diagram.
The dragon: “Hahaha, you’ve found an opportunity. If it really is Flimsy Life and Death, you’ll be able to complete your dao!”
“Where do I find Flimsy Life and Death, though?”
“Since this isn’t a large world, it’ll be easy to find. The closer the girl is to it, the faster Merit disperses. She is your radar.”
“Wow.” Yang Tian smiled and pulled Qing Xiaoyue over.
“What’s the matter with me, Brother Yang Tian?”
“Nothing. You’ll be fine soon.” Hostility flitted across Yang Tian’s eyes.
“Wait!” cried the nightmare dragon.
Qing Xiaoyue shrieked/ “Aaahh! A snake!”
The nightmare dragon was incredibly offended he was called a snake.
Yang Tian glared at Qing Xiaoyue. “Don’t be rude.”
Qing Xiaoyue flinched and took a closer look. She had seen lots of dragon images before. She was amazed to see a real dragon.
“Elder, how is she?”
“… Sh-she possesses Monarch Blood!”
