Seeing the constantly surging miasma erupt from Astrid's body, Luo Zhen naturally knew why she could remain so fearless.
It was because this Witch was immortal.
Yes.
Immortal.
Why was Astrid still so young when even an old man like Edward Rutherford could only regard her as a junior?
Why was Astrid still bouncing around energetically as if completely unharmed when Luo Zhen had crushed the bones in her hand, Irori had slashed her back, and Yaya had kicked her face to pieces?
The reason was simple: Astrid had transformed herself into miasma.
Or rather, she had already become a coagulation of miasma.
Miasma was actually the power of death. It was the reversal of Spiritual Energy, which was known as the power of life. This had already been explained in the past.
In other words, the source of miasma was ultimately Spiritual Energy.
And Spiritual Energy referred to the vitality of all things.
Spiritual Energy and miasma were two sides of the same coin. One symbolized yang and the other yin; one represented life and the other death. Yet they could transform into each other.
Yin and yang supporting each other, life and death blending together—this was the gist of Onmyo Arts.
By taking advantage of this characteristic, Astrid could transform a person's Spiritual Energy into miasma, including her own.
The result was that Astrid became a coagulation of miasma. She could also transform living people into miasma to replenish her own supply. Not only did this allow her to preserve her youth forever, it also granted her an immortal body. As long as the miasma in the world was not exhausted, she would never die.
This was what truly made the Golden Rose terrifying. She was not only evil and cruel, but could also remain in the world
