The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Immortal-Level Magic Robe, Karma Lotus of All Dharmas (Part 2)

”Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe!”

A strange glint appeared in Shen Mo’s eyes. Taking advantage of the artifact spirit’s early, ignorant state, he forced out a drop of his essence blood, smeared it upon the robe, and imprinted his own soul mark!

The original spirit of the robe, entangled and worn down by the corrupt blood of leftover evil from the old era for many years, had already vanished completely, and the grade of the magic treasure had likewise fallen. However, the ”Corrupt Blood Robe” had excellent fundamentals, and after repair, a new thread of spirit was immediately born, restoring its grade to low-grade immortal level.

Although it doesn’t reach its original grade, it’s far more powerful than any magic treasure Shen Mo currently possesses.

Moreover, if the old artifact spirit had not perished, he wouldn’t have been able to smoothly refine it into his own lifebound magic artifact!

During the repair process, Shen Mo had already roughly figured out the properties of this robe through studying the Dao rune. Now, with the robe recognizing its master, he instantly became aware of all information about it.

Like many celestial artifacts, the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe also possesses its own nature of Dao’s principles...

It can absorb all Dharmas, analyze them, and foster karma lotus, then ban magic, ultimately achieving the terrifying effect of ”all Dharmas untouchable”!

These ”all Dharmas” do not refer to cultivation methods and magic in a narrow sense, but in a broader sense encompass Immortal Path techniques, including Innate Divine Abilities.

Since various divine abilities are a mysterious effect derived from cultivating cultivation methods and magic to their utmost extent.

Of course, there is still a distinction between the two. Divine abilities are inscribed in the flesh and blood and soul like bloodline instincts and can be inherited by future descendants. Many demons and monsters aren’t very powerful, but through successive generations or due to certain opportunities, they have elevated their instincts to the highest, becoming Innate Divine Abilities. Even without much mana or evil energy, they can still activate their divine abilities to defend against or kill enemies!

But fundamentally, divine abilities and magic originate from the same source, and there is no essential difference. Divine abilities can be viewed as a type of Immortal Path technique and haven’t transcended the defense range of the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe.

...

As the master of the robe, all magical powers, cultivation method and magic, and martial arts techniques Shen Mo has can be mastered by this celestial artifact, and then evolve into wondrous karma lotuses.

Furthermore, during battles and magic duels, any attack that falls upon the robe or within its power range can be absorbed, analyzed, and mastered by the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe, thereby fostering karma lotuses!

However, it is much quicker and easier for Shen Mo’s own magical powers to evolve into karma lotuses, whereas evolving them through dueling with someone or suffering attacks requires him to continuously supply mana and give the robe sufficient time to absorb and analyze!

With corresponding karma lotuses and enough mana to trigger the robe’s power, all similar Immortal Path assaults can be banned!

For instance...

Shen Mo, by using the All-Encompassing Sword Canon to spawn a karma lotus, if he later encounters an enemy who uses the same canon to strike him with sword Qi, as long as this person’s proficiency in the canon does not exceed Shen Mo’s, the sword Qi unleashed will dissipate silently under the nature of Dao’s principles of the robe.

If Shen Mo doesn’t spare his mana and activates the robe’s divine might to envelop this person, they won’t even be able to use the All-Encompassing Sword Canon to strike out sword Qi.

If he encounters other sword path experts whose sword path martial arts techniques share some similarities with the All-Encompassing Sword Canon, that portion of potency will also be banned, making it hard to wield.

And since the All-Encompassing Sword Canon is all-encompassing and Shen Mo has also cultivated other sword path martial arts techniques and mastered other sword path divine abilities, hardly anyone in the world can surpass him in swordsmanship proficiency; thus, the karma lotuses evolved by himself are enough to ban most sword path martial arts and cultivation methods in the world!

Besides, Shen Mo can have the over one hundred thousand Red Flame Sect members above the Qi Gathering Realm, and his command of millions of soul generals, use their spells and divine abilities to attack him, thereby continue to let the celestial robe evolve more ban lotus!

You should know, the Red Flame Sect members and soul general in the flag have spells of all kinds and countless divine abilities. As long as they fall within the Immortal Path domain, sword path techniques, five elements spells, body transformation techniques, soul curse techniques, external martial arts techniques, and all other divine abilities can spawn karma lotuses...

Moreover, battling and dueling with real enemies can also foster wondrous karma lotuses!

It can be said that, when the karma lotus evolved on the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe is plentiful, it can truly achieve ”all Dharmas untouchable, divine abilities unharmful”!

This is different from the defense field spawned by the Longevity Demon Lord’s ultimate spiritual treasure ”Demon Lord Carriage,” which uses its immensely formidable power to block the assault of enemy’s magic and divine ability, achieving an effect similar to ”all Dharmas untouchable” due to its exceptionally powerful defense.

If back then Shen Mo’s group’s attack had been formidable enough, they could have still broken this ”untouchable Dharmas domain” entirely.

Later, the Chu sisters, Chu Yuanhui and Chu Yuanlan, performed terrifying curses, using a ghost face to break the defense of the Demon Lord Carriage, thus proving this point!

The ”all Dharmas untouchable” of the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe is built upon the nature of Dao’s principles.

Use various vicious spell to evolve corresponding karma lotuses beforehand, even when faced with the Chu sisters’ ghost face curse, most of the powers can be ignored.

Or simply endure an assault by the Ghost Face Curse once and use it to foster corresponding karma lotuses, next time you encounter this curse, you can ban its full spell effect!

”Currently, the celestial lotus on the robe has form but no divinity, not true karma lotuses, they still need to evolve.”

”With enough mana to activate the robe’s power, it can even affect regions spanning millions or ten million miles! If so, as long as enough karma lotuses evolved, I could plunge a world into a place where the Immortal Path is invalid, all Dharmas are unmanifested... this celestial robe is indeed a wonderful treasure!”

When the karma lotuses on the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe and the mana supporting its power reach their peak, Shen Mo can turn a battlefield or a region into a place similar to the cultivation world.

Only he can unrestrainedly utilize magic and divine abilities, ruthlessly beating down enemies in the No Magic Zone, who have lost all Immortal Dao cultivation, appearing as mere mortals!

”It’s just, with such a remarkably powerful celestial-grade robe, why did its original owner, Senior Guanzhu’s old friend, still fall prey to the assault of leftover evil from the old era and end up with an uncertain fate? Even this robe was broken to tatters.”

After some contemplation, Shen Mo took out the Jade Vase holding the dirty water.

The over twenty liters of dirty water in the vase was originally Nine Phoenix Filth Removal Liquid. After cleansing the corrupt blood of leftover evil from the old era, it mixed with the corrupt blood, becoming exceedingly filthy and putrid itself.

”Perhaps, the corrupt blood stained on the robe can reveal more truths to me!”

A strange light flickered in Shen Mo’s eyes as he activated the divine ability of the Pure Yang Pupil.

In an instant, the polluted Nine Phoenix Filth Removal Liquid evaporated, leaving only a mass of condensed filthy blood, which quickly turned to wisps of black smoke under the burning of Pure Yang Fire and was again seized by his spell!
