“He self-destructed before even fighting. Something's fishy!”
Lu Xin immediately activated his full defensive power while accelerating the imprint of the Nether Ghost Seal.
Boom!
However, the Netherworld's strangeness still missed its mark. The exploding blood mist instantly solidified into a blood-red rune.
Moreover, ignoring the heavy pressure of the Nether Ghost Seal, it shot out of the Ghost Seal's coverage range.
“A curse!”
Lu Xin was familiar with this scene. He remembered a sealed Heavenly Demon in the Spirit Realm casting it on him. At that time, he used interface遁 and the Nine Heavens Barrier to evade it.
Now, his astral energy defense is stronger than the Nine Heavens Barrier, but the opponent seems to be even stronger and stranger than that Heavenly Demon.
So, he still didn't dare to be careless.
He defended while retreating rapidly.
However, he still underestimated the speed of that red rune. It appeared in front of him in an instant, directly ignoring his astral energy and Xuanhuang Armor, and entered his body.
“Get out of here!”
This sudden change made Lu Xin's expression very unsightly.
Upon internal inspection, he quickly found the red rune that had burrowed into his body, and then concentrated his strength, trying to expel it.
As a result, the red rune was like a maggot on a bone, impossible to eradicate.
“Haha, kid, this is the true Blood Soul Curse that this old man cast at the cost of two-tenths of my origin. Now, with a single thought, I can make your Qi and blood wither, and your Primordial Spirit dissolve and die!”
Suddenly, a voice rang in his heart.
“Blood Soul Curse?”
Hearing this voice, Lu Xin understood that this curse was aimed at the Primordial Spirit and the physical body.
But precisely because of this, he felt relieved.
Because he had the 【Unyielding】 passive, whose description was: "Will is immortal, true spirit is indestructible."
Therefore, this curse's attempt to dissolve his Primordial Spirit was simply wishful thinking. The only problem was his physical body.
However, he could self-destruct and reshape a body.
Although doing so might result in losing his painstakingly cultivated golden body, he had to do so in order to remove this curse.
“Kid, don't waste your effort. This curse is one of the ancient rare curses. I'm afraid no one in the world except me can解 it.”
Seeing that Lu Xin didn't reply for a long time, the voice rang again in his heart.
Lu Xin frowned, carefully searching, and finally confirmed that the voice came from inside the blood-colored curse.
And the other party's intention, without thinking, was definitely to control him to do some things.
But the other party was wrong. He would not be controlled by others, nor did he intend to self-destruct, because the system had awakened a new passive for him:
【Ding! Detecting that the host is under a curse, the passive: Curse Reversal Body has been awakened.】
【Curse Reversal Body: Any curse applied will be returned to the caster in double. In addition, all negative effects are converted into positive ones.】
“Kid, why don't you say… Huh?” In the blood-colored curse, the mysterious existence wanted to urge Lu Xin to talk to him, but suddenly noticed a strange change.
He saw that his blood-colored curse was actually out of his control and directly erupted.
And for some reason, the other party's Qi, blood, and spirit soul not only did not decrease but increased instead.
“No, what kind of method is this? You can actually absorb my curse power!?”
Noticing the change, the mysterious existence was shocked and angry, but was powerless and could only watch helplessly as the curse he had condensed turned into nourishment for the other party.
At the same time, in a mysterious space under the bluestone ground.
This place was shrouded in black air, extremely cold and gloomy, like a netherworld hell.
In the middle of hell, there was a stone platform, covered with unknown and complex patterns, tightly surrounding an old man in the center.
The old man was emaciated, and his hair was gray and disheveled, covering his face. At the same time, his arms and shoulder blades were tied with four ink-black iron chains.
As for the other end, it extended into the darkness, leading to an unknown destination.
It was very quiet here, and the old man was as motionless as a withered corpse.
Suddenly, a series of crisp "clanging" sounds rang out. It turned out that the old man suddenly raised his head, causing the iron chains to shake.
“How is it possible, how is it possible that someone can absorb my curse power?!”
The old man roared and shouted unwillingly and unbelievably, a little mad, causing the iron chains to make a louder noise.
Then his voice stopped abruptly, because he felt a strange change coming from within his body.
Visibly to the naked eye, his cheeks and flesh began to shrink, and his hair became grayer, even falling out.
“No, how could I be hit by the Blood Soul Curse!”
The old man's expression had changed drastically, and he was terrified. Although he still didn't understand why he had been cursed, he also knew that now was not the time to think too much.
He hurriedly began to解 the curse.
As a result, the more he解ed, the more shocked he became, because he found that this Blood Soul Curse was exactly what he had condensed earlier at the cost of his origin.
And what was even stranger was that it had become even more powerful for some reason.
So, it caused his解 curse to be extremely slow.
By the time he completely解ed it, his hair had fallen out, and his body was completely emaciated, leaving only skin and bones.
“Why is this happening, why is this happening?”
He muttered to himself, his eyes turbid, leaving only incomprehension.
……
In front of the Enlightenment Stele, after absorbing the Blood Soul Curse, Lu Xin felt his whole body's Qi and blood surging, as if he had inexhaustible strength.
Then he felt his Primordial Spirit become extremely powerful as well.
Although he didn't know how much power the Blood Soul Curse, cast by that mysterious man at the cost of two-tenths of his origin, contained.
But he felt that he could easily shatter his True Savage Astral Energy with one punch.
In other words, it would become very simple for him to kill cultivators of the same level now.
But the premise was close combat.
As for the benefits of the Primordial Spirit becoming stronger, he didn't know yet, only knew that with the current strength of the Primordial Spirit, it would be very easy to resist the upcoming Heavenly Immortal Second Tribulation.
In short, this trip was an unexpected surprise.
“I wonder how that mysterious man is doing after being hit by his own two-tenths origin, doubled Blood Soul Curse.”
Feeling refreshed and tidying up his robes, Lu Xin thought of the mysterious man who had given him benefits, and wondered where Meng Qingfeng had met him.
He really wanted to find him and have him curse himself every day when he had nothing to do.
Without thinking too much, he calculated the time, which was getting shorter and shorter. The top priority was to learn all the supernatural power techniques in the Enlightenment Stele.
Returning to his position again, he couldn't wait to immerse himself in the Enlightenment Stele.
The 《Heavenly One True Fire Condensation Method》 had already been thoroughly understood by him, and he had also condensed a fire seed, just waiting for subsequent condensation and growth.
Then it could exert its power.
In fact, he planned to memorize its contents first, but this stele was extremely magical.
Without cultivating and mastering it, he couldn't remember any content at all.
Fortunately, he had the 【Focus】 passive, and his comprehension was amazing, so it only took a little more time.
But then he needed to choose. He wanted to find more powerful ones to learn first.
His attention skipped over one element after another, and he finally found a little pattern.
He found that the further in he went, although the number would decrease, the more powerful the Cultivation Methods and Divine Powers he obtained would become.
Like a pyramid.
Gradually upwards, the most powerful ones were naturally at the top.
So, he decided to learn from the top.
Arriving at the deepest point, there was only one light cluster, which contained the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as six kinds of thunder elements.
“I wonder what it is.”
Lu Xin swallowed his saliva, and without hesitation, he invaded his consciousness into it, and was immediately wrapped in thunder and lightning.
Each thunder and lightning had a different color, and the aura they gave off was also very different.
Some were thick, some were gentle, and so on.
Then articles of text slowly took shape.
After reading it, Lu Xin's breathing stagnated. He didn't expect it to be this kind of Cultivation Method.
