Chapter 1268 - It’s You!
"Supreme Dharma Characteristics,"
Su Zimo said slowly, "Fellow Daoists, the four of you sure are capable!"
"Four? Fufu."
Suddenly, the voice sounded and laughed, seemingly mocking.
A figure walked out slowly from the darkness before Su Zimo.
There was only a single figure.
There was no one else!
Suddenly, Su Zimo thought of a possibility.
"You're wrong about one thing. There's no four of us—I'm alone,"
The figure said slowly.
Psst!
Su Zimo was stunned and his eyes flashed with shock!
When he saw the four Supreme Dharma Characteristics, his first reaction was that four monster incarnates of the Dharma Characteristic realm had joined forces to set up a trap in the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple.
However, he had not expected that all four Supreme Dharma Characteristics were cultivated by a single person!
One person, four Dharma Characteristics!
Up till this point of his cultivation, how many opportunities and encounters had Su Zimo come across?
There were probably not many people who could compare with the opportunity he had in the Dao Inheritance Ground. Even then, he only cultivated three Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics.
However, the figure before him had four Dharma Characteristics.
Furthermore, all of them were Supreme Dharma Characteristics!
That was way too terrifying!
Notwithstanding the four Supreme Dharma Characteristics, the fact that a Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord was able to lure more than 5,000 cultivators, Conjoint Body Mighty Figures included, into a trap in the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple using a single illusion technique—what sort of methods were those?!
The likes of Di Yin and Dao Lord Hatred were far inferior compared to this person before Su Zimo!
Even his Green Lotus True Body could not compare to the person before him!
Su Zimo believed that with his talent and comprehension of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend Daos, his Green Lotus True Body would eventually be able to cultivate all three Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics to the level of the 90 feet Supreme.
Even so, he only had three—it was still one less than the four of the person who set this trap!
Of course, that did not mean that Su Zimo was inferior to that person.
If he included his Dragon True Body, Su Zimo would definitely be able to fight this person with both true bodies!
If he could attain greater mastery of his Martial Dao True Body, this person would be even less of a match for him!
Even so, it was shocking enough to know that four Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics were formed by a single person.
This generation was truly filled with paragons and monster incarnates. Even a Dao Lord who had formed four Supreme Dharma Characteristics had appeared!
A monster incarnate as such was definitely not a nobody!
Why hadn't anyone heard of this person before?
As Su Zimo pondered, the figure had already arrived before him and revealed his true appearance.
Unexpectedly, this was not a monk.
The intruder was dressed in grayish-white robes and had shoulder-length hair that covered most of his face, revealing only one eye.
That eye was clear, bright and gentle, as though it possessed boundless wisdom!
With met with the eye, it was as though all the panic, fear, uneasiness and nervousness had vanished and one would calm down.
Unless they witnessed it personally, it was hard for anyone to imagine that a cultivator with such a pure eye would be so ruthless and cold-blooded!
There seemed to be a thin, blood scar on the person's glabella.
However, the scar was covered by his long hair and could not be seen clearly.
While Su Zimo was sizing up the white-robed man, the latter was doing the same.
The white-robed man seemed to have thought of something and frowned slightly, revealing a reminiscent expression.
A moment later, his expression changed as he looked at Su Zimo in disbelief and shock. "It's you?"
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes.
Although it was only two words, the information revealed by those words was way too great!
From the tone of the white-robed man, it was clear that the latter had seen him before!
However, no matter how Su Zimo tried, he could not recall where he had seen this person before.
Although this person's appearance was not outstanding, Su Zimo believed that he would definitely not forget anyone who had such clear and pure eyes!
"What a surprise."
The white-robed man shook his head gently and lamented.
"You've seen me before?"
Suddenly, Su Zimo asked.
The white-robed man smiled meaningfully and did not deny. "We met once."
"Once, once…"
Countless clues surfaced in Su Zimo's mind.
The answer was about to surface!
As long as he connected the fragments and clues together, that would be the final answer!
They had only met once…
Grand Primordium Ancient Temple…
More than a hundred years ago…
Fresh blood…
Suddenly, Su Zimo's gaze intensified as he glared at the white-robed man before him and said word by word, "So, it's you, Dao Lord Blood Fiend!"
The white-robed man was stunned.
Su Zimo said slowly, "More than a hundred years ago, in the underground fiend palace of the North Region, the resurrected white bone in the coffin was you!"
At that moment, although Su Zimo still had many questions in his mind, there was an explanation for many of them.
Back then, Su Zimo was still at the Foundation Establishment realm. Under Demoness Ji's invitation, he ventured deep underground to explore the inheritance of the fiend sects. To think that he would meet with immense danger and almost died!
At that time, the white bones in the ancient coffin were resurrected and sucked the flesh of cultivators. Su Zimo had to make use of the Divine Phoenix Bone to severely injure them.
Finally, the ground collapsed and buried everything.
As for Su Zimo and Demoness Ji, they hid in the stone coffin as well and avoided the calamity.
It was in that stone coffin that Su Zimo obtained the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra and a Mingwang Prayer Bead!
Later on, when he heard the legend of Dao Lord Blood Fiend from Monk Yuan Bei, he realized that the person suppressed in the stone coffin was most likely Dao Lord Blood Fiend!
Of course, there were many details that could not be explained.
For example, who was the one that suppressed Dao Lord Blood Fiend in the stone coffin?
Why was there a single Mingwang Prayer Bead left in the stone coffin?
If Dao Lord Blood Fiend knew the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, why did he carve the cultivation technique on the coffin lid? Was it because he wanted to pass down the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra?
The white-robed man did not refute and merely looked at Su Zimo indifferently.
Su Zimo was even more certain now as he said coldly, "That single encounter between us you mentioned was in the fiend palace underground. However, you were just a skeleton back then. The difference compared to now is truly great!"
"You've changed quite a bit as well,"
The white-robed man said, "Back then, you were merely a little Foundation Establishment Cultivator. I didn't recognize you at the first instance when you grew to such an extent after more than a hundred years."
By saying that, the white-robed man indirectly acknowledged Su Zimo's speculation!
Su Zimo looked at the corpses strewn all over the hall and sighed internally. "The reason why you spent so much effort to set this trap was because you wanted to make use of the fresh blood of these cultivators to cultivate the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra and recover your cultivation!"
Back when he heard that the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple had descended on Tianhuang Mainland for the first time more than a hundred years ago, he had already sensed that something was amiss.
The timing was rather coincidental.
However, he did not think too much about it.
Now, it seemed like Dao Lord Blood Fiend had set up this trap in the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple after his rebirth in order to recover his cultivation swiftly!
Over the years, countless cultivators have been buried here each time the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple descended. Their blood became a source of cultivation for Dao Lord Blood Fiend.
