This... is this the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus? Yuan Tian never expected that Po Hun would actually possess such a supreme treasure. Seeing the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, Yuan Tian could not help but think of the legends surrounding the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus and the other three lotus thrones on par with it.

It is said that when Primordial Chaos first opened, Pangu cleaved the heavens and earth, and the Chaos Green Lotus also suffered devastating destruction during the creation. The four lotus seeds nurtured by the Chaos Green Lotus ultimately transformed into four twelve-petaled lotus thrones, divided into the Twelve-Petaled Merit Golden Lotus, the Twelve-Petaled Karma-Fire Red Lotus, the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus, and the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

Each of the four twelve-petaled lotus thrones was a top-grade innate spirit treasure, but purely in terms of defense, they could be called supreme defensive treasures. Sitting squarely within them, nothing could break through them, and they could suppress fortune. From this, one could understand just how formidable these four lotus thrones were.

Legend has it that the Twelve-Petaled Merit Golden Lotus was obtained by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and finally, during the distribution of treasures, it was bestowed upon Daoist Jieyin, one of the two Western Sages, serving as the foundational treasure that suppressed the fortune of the Western Religion. Originally a top-grade innate spirit treasure, unfortunately, during the later Investiture of the Gods War, three petals were devoured by the Mosquito Daoist, reducing it to a nine-petaled lotus throne and causing its quality to decline. In the end, the Western Sages used great divine power to have nine Western venerables each use one petal to suppress the fortune of the West. Of course, this is not what we need to discuss for the moment.

Legend has it that the Twelve-Petaled Karma-Fire Red Lotus emerged in Styx and ultimately belonged to the Ancestor Styx of the Blood Sea. One could say that every Sage had their eyes on this lotus throne, with Zhunti of the West being the most prominent among them. The Twelve-Petaled Karma-Fire Red Lotus similarly possessed the feature where sitting upon the lotus throne rendered one impervious to all attacks, and it could burn karmic force to transform it into karmic fire. Possessing both offense and defense, its capabilities were so formidable that it was no wonder the various Sages had their eyes on it. With functions as wonderful as that, if no one eyed it, where would justice even be in the world?

The Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus could purify all things in the universe. There were two theories concerning the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus.

One theory was that the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus inherited most of the functions of the Chaos Green Lotus, but it had never manifested in the world, nor had it been obtained by anyone. This left Yuan Tian baffled: since this Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus had never manifested nor been acquired by anyone, how on earth did anyone know it inherited most of the functions of the Chaos Green Lotus? Of course, within this theory, there was yet another claim, which was that the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus was hidden on Penglai Island. Yuan Tian was here to express his non-concurrence with this viewpoint that the "Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus is hidden on Penglai Island," because Yuan Tian had once deliberately spent a very long time searching Penglai Island for this exact reason, and the result was simply nothing—he did not even see a single lotus seed, let alone the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus. Therefore, whether the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus had manifested or not, Yuan Tian did not know; what Yuan Tian did know was that Penglai Island did not have the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus.

To speak of the other theory, it was that this Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus was ultimately acquired by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had Hongjun transform it into three spirit treasures and bestow them upon the Three Pure Ones as their enlightenment treasures. That is, the lotus flower transformed into Taishang Laojun's flat staff, the lotus root transformed into Yuanshi Tianzun's Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi, and the lotus leaves transformed into Tongtian Patriarch's Green Duckweed Sword. This led to the later saying: "The red flower, white lotus root, and green lotus leaf, the three teachings were originally one family."

Let us now return to the theme of this chapter—the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

Just like the other three twelve-petaled lotus thrones, the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus also possessed the capability shared by all four lotus thrones, which was that sitting squarely upon the lotus throne made it impervious to all attacks. Moreover, the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus could absorb violent and destructive auras for its own use. If one said the Twelve-Petaled Merit Golden Lotus was the optimal magic treasure for the Buddhist Sect and the Twelve-Petaled Purifying Green Lotus was the best choice for the Dao Sect, then the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus was simply an essential magic treasure for the Devil Dao. Rumor had it that this spirit treasure was acquired by the Devil Ancestor Luohou and served as Luohou's enlightenment magic treasure. In the end, Luohou was destroyed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun during the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, and the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus also vanished without a trace.

Now,

Yuan Tian was perplexed. This Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus was rumored to be the magic treasure of the Devil Ancestor Luohou, so how was it now in the hands of this Po Hun? If someone claimed that Po Hun and Luohou were the same person, beat Yuan Tian to death and Yuan Tian still would not believe it. Although Yuan Tian did not know Luohou's cultivation level at this moment, Luohou was one of the two main protagonists contending for Sagehood during this Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. In the final period of the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, his cultivation had even reached the perfected Quasi-Sage realm. If someone said he had not yet reached the Quasi-Sage realm at this point, who would believe it? In any case, Yuan Tian did not.

Thus, there was another possibility, which was that this Po Hun had somehow been killed by Luohou at an unknown time, after which his Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus was obtained by Luohou. If it were like this, it could more or less be explained.

When Yuan Tian was pondering the legends of the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, the man in black outside the Chaos Star Formation felt his heart skip a beat the moment he saw Po Hun bring out the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, as if something of vital importance to himself had manifested.

When ordinary cultivators experienced a situation like that of the man in black, it could be explained by two scenarios.

One was when one's own safety was threatened. Once cultivation reached a certain level, the Primordial Spirit would more or less have some connection with the Great Dao or Heavenly Dao. Once oneself faced a threat, the Primordial Spirit of a powerful cultivator might automatically issue a warning in advance. This kind of treatment was not something just anyone could enjoy; to enjoy such treatment, either your cultivation had to be super powerful or your spiritual perception had to be super sharp. Clearly, the strength of that man in black belonged to the super powerful category—it was just unclear whether he could enjoy such treatment.

The another scenario was when something of major consequence to oneself manifested, which would also produce this kind of feeling, such as a spirit treasure. In his first life, Yuan Tian had personally experienced that kind of situation when the Human Clan supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, manifested. Every single person in the entire Human Clan felt a resonance in their hearts, as if something of vital importance to themselves was manifesting. At the time, Yuan Tian, who was a member of the Human Clan, naturally had this feeling as well.

For an expert like that man in black, his personal instincts were extremely sharp—definitely sharper than a woman's sixth sense. Now, his Primordial Spirit actually issued a prompt. Yes, it was a prompt, not a warning; the man in black still understood the difference between the two quite clearly.

The man in black recalled what had just happened. Clearly, there was only one thing that could cause his Primordial Spirit to issue a prompt, and that was the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus. Leaving aside its defense, just the ability of the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus to absorb violent and destructive auras for its own use made the man in black adore it immensely. This was simply a treasure prepared specifically for him; the deity must obtain it.

If Po Hun knew what the man in black was thinking at this moment, I wonder if he would feel like vomiting blood. When did his own magic treasure become something prepared for that guy? Don't be so "righteous and self-assured" when acting like a human being, alright? Could you be even more shameless?

Although this Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus was a top-grade innate spirit treasure and a supreme defensive treasure, Po Hun had only just acquired it not long ago and had not yet completely refined the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus. Currently, it could only be said that he could barely use it. Furthermore, previously Po Hun did not believe Yuan Tian was worth him using a supreme treasure like the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, so he had never brought it out. He never expected that he would now be forced by Yuan Tian to this extent.

Yet, as ill luck would have it, when Yuan Tian attacked him this time, Po Hun had no other choice but to bring out the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus for defense. He never expected that that formidable offensive power would nearly scatter the Primordial Spirit Po Hun had left inside the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus. Therefore, what Po Hun said earlier about almost losing a spirit treasure did not mean losing it in the true sense; rather, it meant Yuan Tian had shattered the Primordial Spirit inside his Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, meaning he would have to refine it all over again. Do you not know how difficult it is to refine a top-grade innate spirit treasure? Most importantly, in the subsequent battle with Yuan Tian, the defense of the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus could basically be ignored. An unrefined spirit treasure—how many tenths of its power could you possibly wield?
