Chapter 1385: Black Lotus Transforms the Golden Talisman
The mysterious black lotus began to rotate in the air. There were nine layers of lotus petals, and numerous runes appeared on each.
These runes were twisting and intertwining with each other, causing an indescribable sort of gloomy sensation that spread like a tide over everyone present. The appearance of the black lotus also caused the world to suddenly turn dark, as if it had swallowed all of the light. Between the heavens and the earth, gusts of shadowy winds blew and a shrill whine could be heard. Qin Baiyan, Li Jiluo, Li Qingpeng, and the rest of the peak experts from the numerous powers were taken aback by this. They could sense terrifying undulations coming from the black lotus. In fact, it even seemed like those of a King. Clearly, the blood sacrifices of the many victims as well as Qin Lian had allowed this black lotus to fully bloom.
Bang!
Qin Baiyan, Li Qingpeng, and the rest didn't give up; they activated their strongest Duke Arts without hesitation. Worldly natural energy rumbled as Duke Arts capable of devastating the world poured towards the black lotus.
As the black lotus continued to rotate in place, a pale, jade-like palm stretched out from its center. Its fingers formed a flower hand seal before waving gently. Then a stream of mystical, pitch-black light shot outwards. If one were to look closer, hundreds of millions of contorted and twisted figures could be seen writhing inside, almost as though those figures were actually alive. Everything the pitch-black light swept past turned deathly silent.
Even worldly natural energy was extinguished, losing all hints of vitality and life.
Meanwhile, the Duke Arts that were utilized by Qin Baiyan and the rest disappeared without a trace upon being struck by the light.
Even sound itself seemed to be destroyed by it. Everyone’s expressions turned ugly. The eighth-grade Dukes were no exception, and looks of unease could be seen in their eyes.
One could only say that the Origin Reversion Institute's schemes ran deep. Even though Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had given it their all, they had only managed to delay the birth of the black lotus. Unfortunately, their opponent had all sorts of contingency plans and had managed to nourish it to completion.
"What a frightening organization..." Qin Baiyan said in a low and fearful voice.
"As expected of an organization that has weathered the test of time and proven capable of subverting Heavenly Emperor powers. For them, this is probably just a small ploy," Li Qingpeng added as a look of anxiety could be seen on his face.
During that moment where they were helpless, the pale jade-like hand in the middle of the black lotus began to transform. A small and exquisite crimson incense burner appeared. It looked as though it was crafted from flesh and blood and as it squirmed, it was oddly terrifying.

Within the incense burner was a small flame.
With the disappearance of the talisman, the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus' strength could be channeled towards their world through the aid of the black lotus.
The worst-case scenario had truly occurred. "Even the remnant energy left behind the four Heavenly Emperors did not awaken. This means that they are unable to turn their attention away from their current matters to aid the World's End River Region. The Origin Reversion Institute has indeed plotted deeply. Do they plan to upend the peace in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent?"
Li Jingzhe lightly sighed as the three mighty crowns above him began to transform into endless amounts of azure smoke that flowed downwards. The billowing smoke immediately fused with the Nine Dragon Fire Sword Veil.
The gigantic veil then began to shrink, transforming into a red gourd that was slightly transparent. Three ancient talismans were engraved upon it. These three talismans flowed with dense amounts of source origin and were the ultimate manifestations of Li Jingzhe's three resonances.
The crimson gourd was currently sealing a gray figure.
It was none other than the Human Fetus.
Li Jingzhe had transferred the source origin within his body into the Dragon and Bamboo Source Origin Gourd to temporarily contain the Human Fetus. His intention was to deal with the black lotus while his opponent was incapacitated. However, the gourd began to show signs of change, and a smile formed on the Human Fetus’ emotionless face.
"Li Jingzhe... I've given you so much time, but in the end... you've still lost." The inhuman and ethereal voice of the Human Fetus drifted outwards. The next moment, the entire World's End River Region shook and the worldly natural energy transformed into a tide that swept in every direction, as though it was attempting to escape.
The Human Fetus stretched out its pale hand and swiped at the void.
As its hand moved downwards, the crimson gourd created by Li Jingzhe ruptured and a gaping hole opened up.
At the same time, the Human Fetus' aura began to rise.
It took a step forward and smashed through the gourd.
It then appeared before Li Jingzhe.
Li Jingzhe's gaze turned gloomy. After all, the Human Fetus had changed. It had truly stepped into the Triple Crowned King Stage.
