Chapter 553 The Origin Talisman
Chapter 553 The Origin Talisman
‘His true Dao is Creation. He created a Sword of Annihilation to defeat Xu Shi.’
‘So, he’s a Dao Overlord, like you?’
‘Oddly, no. I can’t sense the aura of an Overlord from him.’
‘So, did he fail the test and use some method to weaken or restrict his Dao?’
Wang Wei squinted his eyes as the power of fate flashed across them.
‘It seems that he did not have to take the trial.’
‘That does not make sense from what we know about Outlaw Daos, especially Supreme Outlaws,’ Li Jun said.
‘I’m aware of this. However, I cannot sense the aura of a person who had to take the test. So, this situation could mean three things: he eliminated that aura, I could not sense it, or….’
‘His parents found a way to allow him to use a Supreme Outlaw without the trial. But is such a thing possible?’
‘I don’t know,’ replied Wang Wei. ‘If it is, they must have paid a severe price–even if they were Pseudo Eternal Emperor.’
When it comes to the Supreme Outlaw Trial, he did not think an Eternal Emperor could intervene without paying the price. Otherwise, Di Tian’s status in Ancient Times should grant him the help of a few Eternal Emperors, ensuring he passed the trial if it was no trouble for them.
Moreover, he was 90% sure Chu Luo’s Dao had some restrictions and wanted the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art to fix the problem.
‘So, what’s the plan? Do you think you can defeat him, or do you want me to test his strength for you?’
Wang Wei gave him a side-eye look. He could tell he got a little cocky after achieving a pea Jade Soul Quality.
‘You saw that attack. Use the Dream Art to see if you can survive it.’
Li Jun closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening his eyes with a wry smile. He did not say anything else, so Wang Wei patted his shoulder.
In front of the pagoda, not far from Wang Wei, Tong Ruobing also watched the battle.
‘This level of power has reached the Immortal Venerable level. And if I’m not mistaken, Wang Wei also has this power level.’
She frowned as she thought deeply.
‘My transformation is not finished, and it won’t be anything soon. As such, I cannot achieve such level of battle prowess.’
She concluded that this inheritance would not fall into her hands. So, she needed to think of ways to benefit from this trial.
‘Destiny. All these Heaven Chosens are people with ample destiny. By defeating them, I could increase my, thus improving my chances of becoming an Eternal Emperor.’
So, she inspected the seeded players, searching for an opponent. She ignored the first two before gazing at Ji Lanfang.
‘I need a special trump card to defeat him.’
Then, she looked at the others, focusing on Mu Lei. Without much hesitation, she walked to him with a gentle smile.
“What a beautiful woman,” muttered Mu Lei before fixing his clothes. “Young Lady Tong, my name is Mu Lei, and it is an honor to meet you.”
Tong Ruobing placed her delicate hand over her mouth before giggling with her angelic voice, “I am flattered, Young Master Mu. However, I’ve come here for a challenge.”
Tong Ruobing had to admit that Mu Lei would make a great Dao Partner. Although he was not handsome compared to most cultivators, he had a manly aura emanating from his body that was quite charming.
He was talented, powerful, had a high background, and more importantly, he was from another World Community, so they would not have to worry about competing for the [Heaven Wil]l.
Nevertheless, she did not come here for romance.
“I accept your challenge. However, Young Lady Tong, I won’t go easy on you because I found you more beautiful than the noblest of Immoral from the Nine Heavens.”
“Your words make me blush. Nevertheless, I won’t accept it any other way.”
Then, the two flew into the sky, standing a few meters from each other. Tong Ruobing waved her hands, and numerous yellow papers with runes surrounded her enemy.
Tong Ruobing did not believe in prolonged battles and liked to use the quickest and most efficient way to defeat an opponent. So, she did not hold back and employed 90% of her strength in that attack. Although she knew this would reveal her information to that person, she also understood it was only a matter of time before he figured things out.
[Hell Fire Talisman]
Thousands of black flames came from the papers to destroy Mu Lei’s body and soul. Unfortunately, the latter completely ignored the attack and punched forward.
[Vibration Punch]
A terrifying vibration from his hand rushed toward his opponent. Tong Ruobing rapidly activated a Defense Talisman and Redirecting Talisman to protect herself, and she succeeded.
Meanwhile, Mu Lei frowned slightly as he discovered something. The Small World or dimension the trial took place did not have any laws; it was simply a large space with an artificially created environment.
Usually, this would not have an impact on most participants. They have something similar to Law Seeds inside their bodies or Domains that allows them to use their laws anywhere–with some having to adapt.
And for some, their laws have evolved into Daos, meaning the constraints of the worlds no longer bind them; they can use their Laws anywhere they see fit–for example, the Endless Void–and not have many problems or restraints.
However, he was different. As a True Power Dao cultivator and one that cultivates the Star Beasy System, the issue of Law was more delicate for him.
The Star Beast System absorbs all kinds of laws to grow their bodies or fight. However, he cannot do that. Mu Lei then invented a way for his fleshly body to use Law Resonance. But, he could not use this method since the trial’s space had no laws, so his power was significantly reduced.
Tong Ruobing faced a similar dilemma. The Dao of Talisman relies heavily on the Law Resonance. If she wanted to instantly create certain talismans related to powerful Daos that are most like Outlaws, she needed to use Law Resonance. Regrettably, she cannot do that in the current environment.
Her Talisman Laws only allowed her to create certain talismans. And even when her laws evolve into Dao, she cannot completely get rid of Law Resonance; this is the advantage and disadvantage of Daos based on Professions.
[Infinite Explosion Talisman]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
An uncalculable amount of explosions occurred on Mu Lei, burning his skin. However, he quickly healed the surface injury before rushing toward Tong Ruobing; he was so fast that he appeared as if he had teleported. However, she used a Switching Talisman that allowed her to switch places with any objects in her surrounding, even a single string of Spiritual Qi. Then, she continued her bombardment.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Wang Wei was secretly fuming.
‘What’s wrong?’ asked Li Jun, who could feel his mood change.
‘I know why she seems familiar. She’s using the idea I gave Wu Ming back in the Spirit Road Trial.
‘You mean your idea of turning the body into a talisman? She succeeded?’
‘Yes. And I can even sense a slight Emperor Aura on her body, meaning not only did she turn her body into a talisman and essentially change her physique, but she also managed to borrow some power from an Emperor Talisman.’
Wang Wei was mad not because Tong Ruobing was using his idea but because he never actually thought of using it himself. After figuring out her secret, he immediately thought of using his Acupoints to create a formation that is linked or can borrow the power of the sect’s Turtle Shell Array, which might be the best defensive formation in the whole Myriad Emperor World.
‘If Tong Ruobing succeeded in doing so, then she is quite talented,’ commented Li Jun, and Wang Wei agreed. Wu Ming had the idea, but based on their last meeting, he failed to borrow the power of Emperor Array.
Although Wang Wei did not know how she succeeded, he knew how capable she was of accomplishing such a feat. And as he continued to watch the battle, he discovered more information.
Tong Ruobing’s soul had mutated and acquired properties of talismans. He could tell she achieved this result after the Soul Trial. He secretly shook his head before continuing to analyze the situation.
‘Could it be the Origin Talisman?’
Talisman Ancestor created 12 Ancestral Talisman, and most cultivators considered them the peak of his achievement. However, the actual peak of his accomplishment was the Origin Talisman that he left for the Great Talisman City as an Emperor Artifact.
The Origin Talisman is the most powerful talisman of the Myriad Emperor World and the first Emperor Talisman created by someone in the Origin System.
The primary function of the talisman is its versatility; it can be used as any talisman. Attack Talisman? The Origin Talisman can be used as such. What about a Devour Talisman? The Origin Talisman can also accomplish the task.
There were even rumors that the Origin Talisman was connected to all the talismans created in the Myriad Emperor World–even the ones after the Talisman Ancestor disappeared.
Many people do not believe this rumor because the Talisman Ancestor was only a Pseudo-Eternal Emperor. However, Wang Wei would not be surprised if it was true; he would not even be surprised if these Profession Ancestors had the battle powers of Eternal Emperors, given how special many of them were–except for the Array Ancestor.
Wang Wei began to pay more attention to the fight since something had changed.
“No more playing around,” said Mu Lei as each of his pupils turned into nine purple stars. Then, his body grew to more than 1000 kilometers. This was a small size for Mu Lei, but the environment did not allow for a bigger size without complications.
He turned into a dark light as he rushed toward her. His immense size did not diminish his speed. On the contrary, he became even faster.
Boom!
He punched her with his enormous hand. However, Mu Lei saw a pink crystal appear on Tong Ruobing’s forehead, resulting in a sudden increase in her aura.
The Defensive Talisman she created blocked his attack with relative ease.
