Chapter 17: Green Lotus Demon Eye

The Hunyuan Immortal Cloud Koi could also accelerate its energy accumulation by devouring rare treasures, demonic beast cores, spiritual herbs, and all forms of resources. The higher the grade of the item it consumed, the more Chaotic Lotus Miasma it produced afterward.

If no external interference occurred, it typically took about one month for the koi to fill its body with enough miasma—once every month, it would dive into the pond’s depths.

The koi itself could also advance. With each descent, it accumulated evolution energy. When this energy reached a certain threshold, it would mutate and upgrade. The higher its level, the greater the rank of treasures it could obtain, and the higher the success rate.

From the feedback Hun Yu received, his current Hunyuan Immortal Cloud Koi could, at most, obtain treasures equivalent to those of the Spirit Sect Realm.

Though he didn’t understand the exact principle behind it, its ability was truly abnormal and astonishing—something Hun Yu found both shocking and exciting.

Today marked the first time the koi had brought him items. He couldn’t wait to see what level of treasures they would be.

The first item was a battle technique titled Ice Dominion Over the World, a life-bound divine art of a high-ranking Emperor-tier powerhouse.

It consisted of three volumes. The first—Frost Condensation Strike. With a flick of ten fingers, thumb-sized icicles could be formed and instantly fired. Once they hit or neared their target, they would cling to it, and when infused with energy, explode violently. The high-level Spirit Emperor who created this art had once used this single move to annihilate an entire powerful sect in an instant—none survived; every body turned to dust.

The second—Furious Sea Shark. Several massive ice-crystal sharks would form in front of the caster and charge the target, encircling it before self-detonating. The same Emperor had once used this move to grievously injure a peak Spirit Emperor expert—its power was boundless.

The third—Frozen Ten Thousand Miles. All energy was concentrated into the palm, freezing everything within its range. In battle, it could seal an opponent’s body in ice, and when perfected, even freeze another’s bloodline and spiritual Qi entirely. That Emperor had once unleashed this move at death’s door, freezing ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers—leaving not even a flying insect alive. The ice scars from that attack still remained to this day.

“Hiss… what a terrifying battle technique. As expected of a divine art created by an Emperor-tier powerhouse—its might must approach realms beyond comprehension.”

Techniques obtained from the Hunyuan Immortal Cloud Koi imprinted themselves directly into his mind, their mental methods and meridian pathways fully integrated—there was no need for lengthy cultivation.

That meant Hun Yu had already mastered the three volumes of Ice Dominion Over the World and could use them immediately. However, their true power still depended on his familiarity with them and his cultivation level.

By his estimation, within the Spirit Lord Realm, he was nearly invincible among peers.

The first treasure was already so formidable that he could barely contain his excitement. He wanted to see what the second item would be.

The second item was a small palm-sized box. The moment Hun Yu looked at it through its lid, a stabbing pain shot through his eyes, and his whole body trembled with unease.

It felt as though something terrifying inside that eerie box was watching him, causing his heart to race and his blood to boil.

Driven by curiosity and anticipation, Hun Yu opened the mysterious box. The instant it opened, a surge of murderous aura burst forth.

In a flash, he was plunged into a blood-red world. Standing amidst endless crimson, he found no sky, no ground—only the dense, choking stench of blood and slaughter.

Suddenly, his body convulsed violently, his heart clenching tight.

Before him, without warning, stood a one-eyed demon. Its single eye, as large as a palm, glimmered with a cold, merciless light. Within that blood-red iris spun an irregular, ever-shifting pattern.

The demon opened its fanged maw and roared furiously, then raised its clawed, rune-etched arm—its movement slow but dreadful—as it reached toward Hun Yu’s chest.

He could feel the chilling aura radiating from its claws, capable of tearing through anything. He wanted to retreat, to dodge, but realized he couldn’t move at all.

His body was paralyzed, under some numb, invisible control. Only his consciousness and his eyes remained active—his powerful spiritual Qi couldn’t even circulate.

He could only watch helplessly as that claw neared his heart.

All his fear and despair magnified a hundredfold. Even the pain was amplified beyond endurance. When the demon’s nails barely touched his skin, the agony felt like countless blades slicing him apart.

His face turned pale, sweat pouring down like rain, his entire body tensed, hair standing on end.

The next moment, his pupils dilated, his body trembled violently, and despair devoured him whole.

The demon’s hand sank into his chest and wrenched out his beating heart before crushing it to pulp right before his eyes.

Then, the pattern within that scarlet eye began to spin. Hun Yu felt his entire being twist—organs, flesh, even cells warping and boiling, his blood bubbling like scalding water in his veins.

The torment went on for an eternity. His heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, until it abruptly stopped.

Thud… Bang—

His body exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

When Hun Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself once more before the swaying Green Lotus. The koi, restored to its original color, circled the lotus leisurely in the water.

He gasped for breath, his face deathly pale, the terror in his eyes not yet faded.

When he glanced again at that massive eye, instinctively he wanted to flee.

But then the lotus swayed gently, releasing a wisp of azure Qi that drifted into the demonic eye.

Instantly, the crimson hue faded. The overwhelming stench of blood and demonic miasma dissipated under the lotus’s cleansing aura, transforming it into a strange eye glowing with soft green light.

Green Lotus Demon Eye—

The once bloodthirsty demonic eye had been purified by the lotus, becoming gentler in form, no longer terrifying or unbearable to behold.

Green Lotus Demon Eye: Born from the mutation of the Blood Demon Eye, it allows the host to create an illusory world controlled by the user, launching devastating mental assaults and damage—also known as [Green Lotus Illusion Realm].

Bloodburst: Any enemy marked or injured by the host will form a bloodline connection with the Green Lotus Demon Eye. Through its ocular power, the enemy’s blood can be manipulated to fluctuate chaotically. When the resonance frequency reaches a critical point, it triggers bloodline detonation.
