Half a month ago, when Zhang Kanwen and I were on our way to the Dragon's Gate with the snake spirit, we were stopped by Lu Chengyi and the people from the Metaphysics Society. Because we had to hide our identities, we couldn't use the Yin Yang Yama Brush, so I had to use the Xuemei magical item.
Back then, Xuemei's magical device had unleashed a terrifying stream of crimson light that had seriously injured Lu Chengping and Dan Feng.
Lu Chengping was only in the mid Glorious Memory stage, which meant he wasn't as strong as me. But Dan Feng was the Vice President of the Metaphysics Society, and was in the late Glorious Memory stage. Even he had been seriously injured, which showed how extraordinary the Xuemei magical item was.
At the time, I had thought that I had fully unleashed the power of the magical item. But now, seeing Zhang Kanwen's actions, I realized how laughable I had been.
The Xuemei magical item had changed in Zhang Kanwen's hands. There was no longer any crimson light. Instead, the crimson light spread out from the withered branch, forming something that looked like a spiderweb. It shot toward Lu Ziyang like a bolt of lightning, and the surrounding darkness made it look even more terrifying.
Seeing this layer of blood curtain, the sneer on Lu Ziyang's face instantly disappeared. In a split second, a dark blue square seal suddenly appeared above his head. It gave off a blue light, like a glowing sapphire. However, this square seal was very small, not even half the size of an adult's fist. But after it appeared, the originally extremely fast blood curtain seemed to have an infinite resistance in front of it, and its speed suddenly dropped by a large amount.
I looked at the blue seal and thought to myself, "This must be the other seal of the Lu family's legacy magical item. I've seen several seals in Lu Zhenyang's hands, including the yellow-white Mount Tai seal. It's said to be the Lu family's legacy magical item. I've taken it from Lu Zhenyang twice, but the Mount Tai seal is engraved with a spell formation that only members of the Lu family can use. I studied it for a long time, but couldn't break it. Eventually, I gave it to Xie Chenghua in exchange for the Mo family's Yi Mo beads."
At this moment, the seal in Lu Ziyang's hand should also be a legacy immortal treasure. Its power was truly astonishing. Back when Lu Zhenyang used the Mount Tai Seal, the power he displayed was like a grain of rice compared to this blue square seal. It was simply incomparable.
Zhang Kanwen's expression didn't change in the slightest. His eyes remained fixed on Lu Ziyang as he drew a circle in the air with Xuemei. Then, he opened his mouth and uttered a single-syllable incantation.
As he spat out the incantation, the blood screen that was trying its best to resist the blue square seal suddenly burst open. Countless blood-colored fragments flew towards Lu Ziyang. They looked like pieces of flesh and blood flying in all directions. It was extremely horrifying.
This time, the blue square seal seemed to be unable to stop them. The blood-colored fragments were extremely fast. With a whistling sound, they directly rushed towards Lu Ziyang's body without any hindrance and let out dull sounds of collision.
I was shaken and thought that Lu Ziyang had been severely injured. Who would have thought that he would just stand there without a trace of pain on his face? Instead, he had a slight smile on his face. It was as if he didn't care about the blood shard at all. He just casually waved his sleeves to block the shard that was flying towards his face.
This time, I was dumbfounded. Could it be that Zhang Kanwen had used the Song of Righteousness several times in a row, and yet his strength was still so much lower than Lu Ziyang's?
No, that couldn't be right. I carefully observed Lu Ziyang's movements and quickly discovered that his black Daoist robe was glowing faintly. It was clear that his Daoist robe was also a magic treasure. Moreover, it had strong defensive abilities that allowed it to easily block Zhang Kanwen's Daoist magic.
Seeing that the blood curtain was ineffective, Zhang Kanwen coldly spat out a single sound incantation.
As he uttered the incantation, the blood-colored fragments exploded a second time. This time, all the fragments exploded into fine powder that rose into the air and formed a blood mist.
Almost instantly, a large amount of blood mist enveloped Zhang Kanwen and Lu Ziyang.
Under the cover of the blood mist, the blue square seal that was floating above Lu Ziyang's head was completely annihilated. There was no more light coming from it.
Zhang Kanwen's morale was greatly boosted. He uttered another incantation. The blood mist seemed to have a life of its own as it wrapped around Lu Ziyang. The volume of the blood mist became smaller and smaller, but its color became darker.
After chanting the incantation, Zhang Kanwen didn't stop. He immediately recited the Song of Righteousness.
This time, Zhang Kanwen recited the first eight lines of the Song of Righteousness in a row.
"The Heaven and Earth have Righteousness, giving it a chaotic form. Below are the rivers and mountains, above are the sun and stars.
To people, it is called Righteousness, filling the sky. The road to the Emperor's Realm should be clear, containing peace and spitting out the Ming court! "
His voice became louder and louder. When he recited the last line, it was like a huge bell. There was an echo in the palace.
As the last syllable ended, there seemed to be a sudden gust of wind in the dark palace. I looked closely and saw a white aura blowing towards Lu Ziyang from behind Zhang Kanwen. It looked like a flowing wind, but it wasn't cold at all. Instead, it gave off a sacred feeling.
At this moment, the sneer on Lu Ziyang's face disappeared. His face was solemn. His right hand, which was originally behind his back, suddenly moved in front of him. His palm faced inwards as he rubbed his abdomen. Then, he raised his arm and pressed on his chest. Then, I saw him open his mouth and spit out a greyish-white seal.
It was also a seal, but this seal wasn't an artifact. It was Lu Ziyang's Celestial Master Seal!
The Celestial Master Seal was the symbol of a Celestial Master. When a Celestial Master reached the Celestial Master realm, they would condense such a seal in their body. Depending on their talents, their colors ranged from grey to crystal white. There were three types in total.
The worst was Broken Crow, which was a Celestial Master Seal that was completely grey. After reaching the Celestial Master realm, it was almost impossible for one to advance further, and they had no chance to condense the Celestial Master's Yang Spirit. The second best was Flawed, which was white with a tinge of grey. Those who condensed this kind of Celestial Master Seal were extremely talented and had a high chance of condensing the Yang Spirit, allowing them to walk further on the path of pursuing the Way of Heaven. The best was Flawless. This kind of Celestial Master Seal was completely white and flawless. Those who could condense the Flawless Seal could be called a one-in-a-million genius. Condensing the Yang Spirit was easy.
It was rumored that they could even reach a higher realm than the Celestial Master Seal! Apart from these three types of Celestial Master Seals, the Death Scripture also recorded another kind of Celestial Master Seal called Perfect. It was colorless and transparent, invisible to the human eye. It had an extremely mysterious function.
However, I have never heard of this kind of Celestial Master Seal in reality, and I have never seen it in other metaphysical books, so I don't know if it's true or not.
So far, I have only seen the Celestial Master Seal twice. The first time was when the Snake Spirit turned into a dragon half a month ago. The old Taoist who appeared on Dragon Gate Mountain gave the Snake Spirit the Righteous Seal and revealed his Celestial Master Seal. It was completely white and flawless. It was an extremely rare Flawless Seal.
At this moment, Lu Ziyang's Celestial Master Seal was the second time. His seal was grayish-white, which was obviously a Flawed Seal. It could be considered as the second best talent among Celestial Masters.
Although it could only be ranked as the second best, in reality, most Celestial Masters were just Broken Crow. It was rare for them to have a Flawed Seal.
This kind of Celestial Master relied on a Flawed Seal. In the same realm, it was not difficult for one person to deal with several Celestial Masters without a Flawed Seal.
At this moment, Lu Ziyang spat out the Celestial Master Seal. It was obvious that he wanted to use the seal's power. Although Zhang Kanwen, who was fighting him, had the Celestial Master Seal, he did not have a Celestial Master Seal!
Even the weakest Celestial Master with the Shattered Crow Seal would have a huge increase in strength once he summoned his Celestial Master Seal, let alone the more powerful Celestial Master with the Incomplete Crow Seal. Although Zhang Kanwen had the upper hand in the beginning, did he still have a chance of winning against Lu Ziyang's Celestial Master Seal?
I stared at Lu Ziyang. After his Celestial Master's seal appeared, the effects were immediate. The blood fog surrounding him was instantly cleared.
However, clearing the blood fog wasn't much. Zhang Kanwen's true killing move was obviously the white aura that came after.
Lu Ziyang frowned. He didn't retract the Celestial Master Seal, but slowly moved forward to face the white aura.
Just like how it had dispersed the blood fog, the grey Celestial Master Seal still had the effect of dispersing Zhang Kanwen's white aura. However, the speed was very slow. The white aura seemed to have the power of decay, as it gently blew on Lu Ziyang's Celestial Master Seal.
After a dozen breaths, the white aura disappeared, and Lu Ziyang's Celestial Master Seal gave off a crisp cracking sound.
At the same time, Lu Ziyang's seven orifices started to bleed.
He strenuously recalled the Celestial Master Seal. Then, he sat on the ground, his face pale.
I was shocked. Zhang Kanwen had won!
This was unbelievable!
However, this wasn't the time to celebrate. Although Zhang Kanwen had won, he had used up a lot of energy. He was currently at his weakest. I turned to look at Zhang Kanwen worriedly. At that moment, a red light appeared next to Zhang Kanwen and shot towards his chest. At this moment, it had already touched his outer clothes!
