Chapter 172 Blood God Child, Blood Nerve
After Modi took the Taotie mask, the remaining Taotie corpses on the ground did not return to their original form, but remained fixed in that shape.
The boy's face, split in two, remained closed, his eyes still showing shock and confusion. But no matter how unwilling he was, he was dead.
His grand ambitions, his hatred—all vanished with the wind.
Even until his death, he did not understand why his two greatest enemies were here, or why the difference in strength between them was so great.
The Styx River swept up the remains of the Taotie, dissolved them, extracted the bloodline factors, and processed them through analysis and integration. "So the purpose of this divine weapon is to perform targeted modification of bloodlines?"
Modi fiddled with the mask in his hand, feeling that this divine weapon, ranked eighth among the ten divine weapons, had more than just this purpose.
With a thought, the blood mist spread to his side, confining him within a circle with a radius of two meters.
The incomplete awakening armor took effect, and two small red dots appeared on the bronze-textured gluttonous mask.
"Interesting, I didn't expect there were two people hiding inside."
To be precise, the Taotie mask should contain two fragmented divine wills, each corresponding to one of the two dead points.
The Taotie Mask itself is a divine weapon. In this state, without complex analysis, it is impossible to see its weakness.
Of the two dead spots on the mask, one is very similar to the aura of the dried-up creature inside the coffin, while the other is more in line with the mask of the canteen.
Without hesitation, Modi immediately made a move and tapped each of the two dead spots.
To his surprise, the two dead spots did not disappear, but only dimmed slightly, indicating that the things they corresponded to had been severely damaged.
The next moment, the bronze mask struggled and rioted, and the true power of the Heavenly Warrior gradually revived.
Among the Ten Heavenly Weapons, each represents a grandmaster with profound cultivation, and each possesses power comparable to that of an ordinary grandmaster.
It was far superior to Huangfu Chong's Heavenly Light Cloud-Piercing Spear and Shooting the Heavenly Wolf.
The same goes for the eighth-ranked Cancan Mask.
Driven by the combined power of two divine wills, it was fully revived in the blink of an eye, attempting to break free from Modi's grasp.
But that hand was as solid as iron, completely still, making it seem as if the Taotie mask was wasting its efforts.
Seeing that its plan was failing, the Taotie Mask changed its strategy, and a voice of unknown origin sounded:
"Fellow Daoist Can, this young man at the Divine罡 Realm has destroyed the body we chose and damaged our divine will. What do you suggest we do?"
"There's no other way. Luckily, we have two people here, so we'll just have to make do with their bodies."
"Have you forgotten? Our divine will is trapped here, only going in and not out, unless that young man takes the initiative to refine the Taotie Mask."
+
"You're right. Look at my memory, it's been so long, I've forgotten... Oh, right, young man, why don't you refine my Taotie mask, so I can take over your body?"
A loud conspiracy? Have the two divine wills inside gone mad?
After a moment, Mordis commanded the Law to cast a "Force Field Orb," enveloping the Taotie Mask within a circular force field.
He then threw the mask into the demiplane, leaving it to Elena to keep safe.
After dealing with the food mask, he didn't even spare the coffin on the ground, throwing it into the demiplane as well.
Before the stone wall, Su Youli mobilized her divine will to solidify the Heavenly Book, which was showing signs of disintegration.
She discovered a pattern: after Xia Yunyi's death, once the Heavenly Book projection no longer sensed divine intent, it would gradually dissipate.
"Resolved?"
Noticing Mo Di's footsteps, Su Youli turned around and asked, "It's resolved. What's the situation with the Heavenly Book?"
Modi walked up to her and examined up close the source of all laws in this world, a physical entity called the "Heavenly Book".
Compared to when we first met, the runes on the Heavenly Book have become much more ethereal.
He decisively mobilized his divine will, and the Heavenly Book instantly became much more solid.
While listening to Su Youli's summary, he stared at the Heavenly Book, using his spiritual sense and divine will to perceive every changing rune.
The sound of chanting and reciting scriptures in my ears was much louder, and the scriptures were recited more completely.
Amidst the overlapping sounds, Modi not only didn't feel dizzy, but instead felt his inspiration surge.
A constant stream of inspiration flowed through his mind, and he deconstructed one scripture after another into cultivation techniques. With the computational power of the Styx Law, the draft he had prepared long ago became increasingly perfect.
"Hmm, I'm getting into it." Modi sat cross-legged, his left arm resting on his legs, his right arm supporting his chin, his eyes closed, as if in deep thought.
His spiritual awareness and divine will faithfully functioned, bringing him inspiration from the celestial book.
Su Youli looked puzzled, wondering what he was feeling. "Why don't I feel anything? Does this Heavenly Book discriminate?"
She mentally complained, then used her divine will to solidify the Heavenly Book and sat down next to Modi to protect him.
Time slipped away amidst the collision of thoughts and inspiration. In the dim cave, only the faint sounds of the burning lamp and the rhythmic breathing of the two remained.
When Su Youli opened her eyes again, a chill ran down her spine.
It felt like countless eyes were staring at her, and even though they were all calm, she still felt uneasy under their gaze.
She turned her head and locked onto the source of the gaze.
It was the red-robed Taoist priest beside her.
Modi remained in a meditative posture with his eyes closed, making no movement and not scanning her with his spiritual sense.
What's with all those gazes?
Seemingly sensing her gaze, Modi's body began to writhe like an invertebrate, and then convulsed wildly as if a frame had dropped.
With each spasm, he would briefly appear as a figure covered in blood.
"Blood Shadow?" Su Youli raised an eyebrow, not understanding what kind of modification he was making to her again.
The convulsions stopped after about three to five minutes.
Mo Di opened his eyes and his first words were: "You Li, use the Dragon Roar to freeze the Heavenly Book."
"Hmm?" Although she was a little confused, she instinctively did as she was told.
The dragon's roar struck the stone wall directly, and the already dim and lifeless celestial runes instantly froze, no longer changing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Modi connected with the law, his fingertips dancing with magical light.
Using Elena's immortal nature, he was able to cast an ancient spell originating from dragons—the Body Stripping Spell.
This spell is a legendary spell that only the immortal can cast. Its effect is to detach the designated entity from its carrier and seal it away.
Its target can be the text in a book, the content of a painting, or even a spell that is released in one go.
The celestial script runes naturally could not escape its stripping away.
Runes drifted down from the stone wall and landed in Modi's hand.
He forced out another drop of blood from his body and inserted the rune into the crystal formed from the congealed blood.
Mission accomplished.
Su Youli leaned closer curiously, tapping the blood crystal lightly. "Entity Separation Technique? What's the point of sealing the Heavenly Book runes here?"
"The Heavenly Book runes are the core projection of the Heavenly Book. The stone wall is merely a carrier. Having it is equivalent to having control of a port connecting to the Heavenly Book."
After explaining, Modi stuffed the blood crystal into his sleeve and casually waved his hand, destroying all twelve human lanterns in the two rows.
"This place is no longer worthwhile; let's go back."
"Go back to where? Tianyong City?" Su Youli tilted her head.
"Given the situation in Tianyong City, I doubt many people can stay here anymore." He shook his head and said, "Let's go back to my base, which is Daze Mountain."
Su Youli naturally had no objections, but before leaving, she still hesitated and asked one question:
What was wrong with you just now? What was that feeling...?
"You feel like a lot of eyes are staring at you, right?"

Modi chuckled, "Those are my 'Blood God Children,' also known as the former Blood Shadows. They are now not only substitutes for me, but also a part of me."
Under the special state brought about by the Heavenly Book, he not only further integrated the original Blood Shadow, but also perfected his own newly created technique.
Its name, "Blood Nerve," is based on "Blood Shadow Divine Skill," drawing inspiration from "The Four Qi," "The Five Flavors," and "The Theory of the Abundance of Qi, Blood, and Nutrition."
When the essence of these techniques is fused into one, one can directly reach the Grandmaster realm in this world.
Even Modi's subsequent condensation of the seventh mark and advancement to an immortal being required this rare and precious manual.
The most prominent feature of this practice is only one thing: its evil nature.
The techniques such as "Four Qi" and "Five Flavors" are inherently easy to lead people astray, while "Blood Shadow Divine Skill" may sound appealing, but it is a genuine demonic skill.
With so many unorthodox techniques gathered together, the final product, "Blood Nerve," would only be more unorthodox than them.
Therefore, Modi specially divided it into two volumes, one for good and one for evil. Only by practicing both volumes together can it be considered the complete "Blood Nerve".
Those with weak wills may not fall into evil paths if they only practice the good books; but if they practice only the evil books or practice both books together, they will inevitably turn into blood demons.
At that time, it will be time for Modi to reap the rewards and amass great wealth.
Su Youli nodded, seemingly understanding, "I see."
Then, realizing what she'd said, she asked strangely, "So, you're trying to set a trap?"
"What entrapment? Can you call it entrapment when it involves cultivators?" Mo Di's eyes widened. "How can you slander someone out of thin air?"
What followed was a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand words about the difficulty of cultivation and the punishment of evil and promotion of good.
Suddenly, the air in the cave felt less stuffy.
The two passed through the narrow crevice one after the other, exited the stone hall, and returned to the lifeless canyon.
"Wait a moment, let me take care of this first." With a flick of his sleeve, Modi unleashed the Styx River from beneath his feet, surging forward and engulfing the corpses throughout the canyon.
If we let the corpses scattered across the mountains rot slowly, who knows how much miasma will be generated? Once the miasma can no longer be contained and overflows into the outside world, who knows how many evils it will cause.
Since he was still here, I decided to tidy it up while I was at it.
The sound of ten thousand horses galloping echoed through the canyon. Wherever the River Styx went, no corpse could escape being washed away and float to the surface. "Professional decomposition of corpse remains, Modi, you still say you're not a decomposer." Su Youli stepped across the water, her white embroidered shoes creating lotus blossoms with each step—this special effect was added by Modi using karmic fire.
Modi walked beside her, shook his head and chuckled, "There is a difference. I'm much more efficient."
After careful consideration, he realized that his behavior along the way was indeed quite similar to that of the decomposers.
He had basically decomposed most of the corpses he saw.
As for where the body came from? That's irrelevant.
