The Dao-subduing treasure Origin Xia had deployed was called the Scarlet Soul Silent Radiance. Its true form resembled a stalk of blood coral, hence it was also called "Blood Ling Coral." Its scarlet light could cut down qi and spirit, extinguishing all life force. It was considered a superior treasure of the Origin Upper Hall.
Yet the greater the power of a Dao-subduing treasure, the more beneficial it was to preserving the order of heaven, so such treasures generally were not used. At most, one merely borrowed a trace of their aura.
Now, in order to suppress Celestial Xia, the Origin Upper Hall had brought forth this treasure while endeavoring not to disturb the order of heaven.
This object contained blood-red stems. Their spreading growth was not merely for show; once they came into contact with other treasures, they could entwine and bind them, somewhat like the Azure Spirit Heavenly Branch.
Yet there was one difference. Its corrosive nature was exceedingly strong. Once it entangled an external treasure, it would continuously devour that treasure's aura and augment its own might. It could be said that, so long as killing treasures did not appear, this was a Dao-subduing treasure made specifically to counter other treasures. Moreover, its viciousness was extreme.
Once Origin Xia exerted its strength here, the pressure on Celestial Xia suddenly increased sharply. In particular, Celestial Xia's treasures instinctively sensed the threat and conveyed their intent to avoid it to their wielders, as if they wished to stay far away from this object. At the same time, those controlling them everywhere felt their auras circulating somewhat sluggishly.
This forced Celestial Xia's previously advancing formation to contract backward. Not only that, even the passage between the two realms formed by the "Capital Gate Instrument" faintly showed signs of instability.
