SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 958 - 958 Suppressing the Power of the Curse

"Is that… so?"

Su Hongyi instinctively responded.

Then a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Could it really be as she had imagined.

First have herself washed clean, and then……

Of course, Su Hongyi did not hesitate.

Everything she had was given to her by Jun Xiaoyao.

Without Jun Xiaoyao, she might not even have her life.

In just a moment, right before Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, Su Hongyi slipped off her red dress.

Her freshly washed delicate body was like a newly peeled water chestnut.

Her skin was fair and tender, like cream and jade.

Though it was marked with grotesque, twisted scars that resembled centipedes.

Yet against her fair and delicate body, they gave off a strangely bewitching allure.

Su Hongyi's pretty face flushed crimson as she lowered her head, not daring to look at Jun Xiaoyao.

A look of sudden realization crossed Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

On Su Hongyi's snow-white lower abdomen, just below her navel.

There was a faint mark that looked like a hexagram.

Looking closely, it bore a resemblance to the dark six-pointed star mark that had appeared on Jun Xiaoyao's wrist before.

It just looked very faint, as though it had not yet awakened.

"My… my lord……"

Sensing Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, Su Hongyi's delicate body trembled slightly.

Not out of fear, but out of shyness.

"It seems it really is as I expected, though it doesn't appear to have truly awakened." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

After arriving at the War God Academy, Jun Xiaoyao had also looked up some information about the Six World-Ending Kings.

In the past, the Six World-Ending Kings had never all appeared at once, and perhaps in a single era, only one or two of the kings would awaken.

But even if just one or two kings awakened and grew in power, they would pose a tremendous threat to the immortal realm.

For instance, the breach at the border that had been blasted open was rumored to have involved the World-Ending Kings in some way.

When Jun Xiaoyao had previously slain that demon king-like man in the Heavenly Tomb, the six-pointed star mark had transferred itself onto Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao surmised that the so-called Six World-Ending Kings were something akin to a heavenly mandate.

Whoever was stronger had the right to contend for it, and it was not fixed.

For example, since Jun Xiaoyao had killed that demon king-like man, the world-ending heavenly mandate had transferred to him.

The one thing Jun Xiaoyao was still not entirely certain about was.

Why had Su Hongyi been able to obtain the heavenly mandate of the Six World-Ending Kings?

And how exactly could this world-ending heavenly mandate be awakened?

Where did the terrifying curse power within Su Hongyi come from?

Why had such a curse been planted on her?

New doubts arose in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

But such matters could not be rushed, and unraveling Su Hongyi's secrets was not something that could be done in a short time.

Besides, Jun Xiaoyao was confident.

Regardless of whether Su Hongyi would later awaken the world-ending heavenly mandate and become a true Crimson Demon Empress.

Her loyalty to him was absolutely one hundred percent.

Jun Xiaoyao had essentially taken in a World-Ending King as a follower!

What Jun Xiaoyao needed to do next was to make Su Hongyi follow him wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Even to the point of laying down her life for Jun Xiaoyao.

He could also control Su Hongyi by planting a slave seal.

But to Jun Xiaoyao, such forceful control was the lowest of methods.

Jun Xiaoyao naturally had his own way.

"Hongyi, your body is beautiful, there is no need to feel so self-conscious." Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

Su Hongyi's blood-red eyes trembled faintly as she said, "My lord is joking, how could such an ugly body be worthy of my lord's attention?"

Those twisted scars on her body disgusted even Su Hongyi herself when she looked at them.

"This should be an extremely powerful curse force, though it is not entirely beyond suppression." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"My lord, is that truly possible?" Su Hongyi's pupils were trembling.

Though she had endured all these years.

And had grown used to others calling her an ugly freak, a little monster, and so on.

But Su Hongyi was, after all, still a young girl.

And being a young girl, how could she possibly be completely indifferent to her own appearance and image?

Especially now that she was by Jun Xiaoyao's side.

Such a handsome young lord, yet beside him was an ugly freak.

Even Su Hongyi herself found it somewhat hard to accept.

"This isn't too difficult, come here." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Su Hongyi stepped in front of Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao placed his palm on Su Hongyi's lower abdomen.

Instantly, waves of order and dao principles emerged, accompanied by the power of chaos.

A sealing force also began to spread.

The Third Seal of the Immortal Suppression!

Using the power of chaos to drive the Third Seal of the Immortal Suppression, suppressing the curse power within Su Hongyi's body!

Anyone else would have found this absolutely impossible.

But Jun Xiaoyao could.

The next moment, Jun Xiaoyao was struck by the backlash of that curse power.

Endless visions surged through his mind, as though hundreds of millions of living beings were drifting in a sea of blood, being sacrificed.

"Die, die, die, this bloodline must die!"

"I was wronged, I curse this bloodline to meet a wretched end!"

"Hatred! Hatred! Hatred!"

Endless resentment and curse power surged toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao furrowed his brows.

Was this the source of the curse power?

But what did it have to do with Su Hongyi?

Or was it that Su Hongyi also came from some special bloodline.

And this bloodline had sacrificed countless living beings, giving rise to this curse?

Jun Xiaoyao pondered in his mind.

He drove his primordial spirit to activate the Present-World Tathagata Sutra from the Three-Life Immortal Scripture.

The dharma form of a great Vairocana Buddha that ferries all living beings manifested.

All manner of resentment, curses, and malevolent spirits dissolved like spring snow melting away.

"Seal!"

Jun Xiaoyao commanded sharply.

A powerful sealing force, accompanied by the power of chaos, locked down and suppressed the curse power within Su Hongyi's body.

As the curse power was suppressed, the grotesque scars on Su Hongyi's delicate body began to writhe, then contract.

Finally, all of the curse power was compressed within the spiritual sea of Su Hongyi's lower abdomen.

It transformed into a churning mass of pitch-black dense fog.

From within it came what seemed like the cursing voices of hundreds of millions of vengeful spirits.

And across Su Hongyi's entire body, her cheeks and her delicate form, not a single scar remained.

White as fresh snow, tender as congealed fat, radiant without adornment.

Her foundation had always been good, she was a natural beauty.

It had simply been concealed by the scars.

Now she had completely transformed, the ugly duckling had become a swan.

Anyone who laid eyes on her would be instantly struck with admiration.

"Is… is this really me?"

Even Su Hongyi herself could hardly believe it, as though she were in a dream.

She touched her own body, as if touching a piece of exquisite porcelain.

"Hongyi, put your clothes on first."

Jun Xiaoyao said.

Such a beautiful young girl, touching herself in front of him, somehow felt a little off.

Only then did Su Hongyi come back to her senses, her fair and tender face flushing red as though it were about to bleed.

She put on her red dress right before Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

The way she dressed was somehow even more captivating than the way she had undressed.

Of course, Jun Xiaoyao was an experienced hand, and his heart remained completely undisturbed.

He regarded her with a purely appreciative eye.

With his level of cultivation and composure, he could easily master his own desires rather than be swayed by them.

"For now I have only sealed the curse power within your body, it is still difficult to eradicate entirely, and other methods will need to be sought in the future." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"That my lord could help Hongyi seal it is already more than Hongyi could ever be grateful for, even if it were to flare up again in the future, Hongyi would not harbor the slightest resentment." Su Hongyi said.

After this.

Su Hongyi was now completely, utterly, and wholeheartedly devoted to Jun Xiaoyao unto death.

From the inside out, she had been marked with an imprint that belonged to Jun Xiaoyao.

Even if Su Hongyi were to undergo some change in the future, or awaken some power.

She would absolutely never betray Jun Xiaoyao.

This was the true purpose behind Jun Xiaoyao sealing the curse power for her.
