Chapter 1448: Celestial Five Degenerations
Translator: Legge
Unknowingly, a folding fan had already appeared in Heavenly Secrets’s hands.
The smile on Heavenly Secrets’s face did not reduce when he saw Su Zimo appear. He closed his folding fan and tapped towards Su Zimo’s Creation Lotus Platform!
The folding fan was about to collide with the Creation Lotus Platform.
The corners of Heavenly Secrets’s lips curled as he revealed a strange smile. Suddenly, the folding fan in his hands changed directions and pointed forward!
The folding fan tapped towards Su Zimo’s wrist!
This time round, the variation was extremely small and it was a last minute change. It was rather sentient and displayed Heavenly Secrets’s powerful heart!
Heavenly Secrets was definitely not weak to become the young master of Enigma Palace!
It was not only in terms of his scheming and planning; his combat strength was extraordinary as well.
Back in the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley, he could even fight Yan Beichen!
If not for Monk Daming’s secret attack to destroy Heavenly Secrets’s Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, Yan Beichen would have been doomed in that battle!
“Alright!”
Su Zimo’s spirit perception was strong and he sensed it before Heavenly Secrets changed tactics. He stopped in time and forcefully lifted his wrist!
If his wrist were to collide with Heavenly Secrets’s folding fan, even if it wasn’t severely injured, the outcome wouldn’t be good.
Heavenly Secrets sneered coldly. He seized the opportunity to retreat and distance himself from Su Zimo.
“Desolate Martial, do you really think that I’m afraid of you?”
Heavenly Secrets still had a smile on his face, as though he was in control of everything and was incomparably confident!
Su Zimo’s gaze landed on the Half-Martial Ancestors of Enigma Palace who were charging over and suddenly shouted, “Your young master of Enigma Palace has cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!”
The ten Half-Martial Ancestors paused for a moment.
Most of the Half-Martial Ancestors frowned and revealed puzzled expressions.
The Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra was way too terrifying that even they were wary of it. If the young master of Enigma Palace were to cultivate it, things would get out of hand!
Only Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove and Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian had calm expressions.
Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove sneered, “Desolate Martial, what nonsense are you spouting? You can’t slander the young master of Enigma Palace casually!”
“That’s right!”
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian said coldly, “Desolate Martial, you’re the one who truly cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!”
“Back in the battle of Myriad Phenomenon City, countless people witnessed you releasing the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, fufu!”
At that point, the many Half-Martial Ancestors of Enigma Palace nodded to themselves and the doubts they had vanished.
Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.
He had indeed cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, but he had sensed the danger in time and no longer used it.
However, it was different for Heavenly Secrets!
In order to cultivate his fiend techniques, Heavenly Secrets even set up a killing trap in Heaven and Earth Valley and schemed against countless sects and factions to refine the bloodlines of all the experts in the world!
Although he and Heavenly Secrets cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, they were fundamentally different.
However, there was no way to explain that.
Nobody would believe him even if he explained it.
Not far away, Heavenly Secrets smiled faintly with a mocking expression, as though he was mocking Su Zimo’s unnecessary actions.
“Desolate Martial, why are you doing this?”
Heavenly Secrets smiled gently.
“It’s fine if you don’t believe me,”
Su Zimo had a calm expression. “Let’s see how long you can last in my hands without using the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!”
Since everyone from Enigma Palace did not believe him, Su Zimo would force Heavenly Secrets to use it in public.
At that time, the truth would naturally be revealed!
“Desolate Martial, you underestimate me,”
Heavenly Secrets shook his head gently and retracted his smile gradually. “You’ve only just entered the Conjoint Body realm. Do you really think that you’re invincible among your peers?”
“It’s enough to suppress you!”
Su Zimo’s gaze intensified as he conjured hand seals. His body shone with the power of thunder and was blinding, as though he was in a thunderstorm!
“Alright!”
Heavenly Secrets nodded slightly. “I’ll show you what I’m capable of!”
“Five Celestial Degenerations, First!”
Heavenly Secrets’s hands shifted continuously as he conjured an extremely mysterious Dharmic art and pointed it at Su Zimo!
A strange power descended.
Su Zimo could not dodge at all!
“Mmm?”
The Dharmic power that Su Zimo had just conjured dissipated rapidly!
The power of thunder dimmed and vanished in the blink of an eye!
“Second degeneration, Essence Spirit Degeneration!”
Heavenly Secrets hollered and changed his hand seal, pointing at Su Zimo.
A strange power descended on his Essence Spirit.
As though his Essence Spirit was locked by an extremely terrifying power, the power of his Essence Spirit deteriorated at an extremely fast speed!
Even though his Essence Spirit was fused with the Dao of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects and was pure and condensed, it could not defend against the corrosion of that power!
At this speed, his Essence Spirit would probably wither within dozens of breaths!
Su Zimo’s expression changed slightly as he moved his palm and sent the Creation Lotus Platform into his consciousness.
The black-haired Essence Spirit strode onto the Creation Lotus Platform and assumed a lotus position.
Pshew! Pshew! Pshew!
The 63 lotus holes spewed out rays of green light that surrounded the black-haired Essence Spirit and gradually negated the power!
Even so, Su Zimo broke out in cold sweat.
Such methods were truly unheard of.
There were many Dharmic arts and secret skills in the world. Even with his experience, he had never encountered such a terrifying secret skill!
“Fu…”
Right then, Heavenly Secrets chuckled. “Not bad, you’re actually able to withstand the first two powers of degeneration.”
After a brief pause, he changed the topic. “However, there are three more. I want to see how long you can last in my hands!”
This was what Su Zimo said earlier on and Heavenly Secrets returned it completely!
“Third degeneration, Physical Body Degeneration!”
Heavenly Secrets pointed his Dharmic art at Su Zimo.
“Mmm?”
Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.
The strange power descended once more.
But this time round, his flesh began to wither and his lifeforce drained under the influence of that power!
Before he could react, Heavenly Secrets’s voice sounded once more.
“Fourth degeneration, Bloodline Degeneration!”
The moment he said that, Su Zimo’s blood qi began to deteriorate and drain rapidly as well.
His body was like a gigantic airbag with a hole punctured—his blood qi drained continuously at a shocking speed!
His body and blood qi were failing at the same time!
Heavenly Secrets had a smug expression as he smiled gently. The Dharmic art in his hands changed once more as he said slowly, “Fifth degeneration, Lifespan Degeneration!”
Instantly, Su Zimo’s lifespan decreased continuously!
A secret skill to reduce one’s lifespan!
Up till this point of his cultivation, apart from Barren from the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, Su Zimo had not encountered a secret skill that could reduce one’s lifespan.
But today, he finally saw it on Heavenly Secrets!
Although this secret skill was not as terrifying as Barren, it had the effect of decreasing one’s lifespan by hundreds of years with a single breath!
What was even more frightening was that the secret skill released by Heavenly Secrets did not merely reduce one’s lifespan!
It degenerated the five sources of power of a cultivator!
Dharmic powers, Essence Spirits, physical body, bloodline and lifespan!
These were the five degenerations of celestial beings!
