Chapter 285: Black Lotus Mother's Arrival, Absorbing Divine Authority!



On the battlements of the city wall, a loud tearing sound suddenly echoed.

Jiang Ning's mind focused intensely, and his mental power erupted in an instant.

In that moment, the illusion before his eyes vanished, and the hot spring scenery he had just witnessed shattered like bubbles.

His mind instantly cleared, and his eyes saw the black-gowned lady with a graceful figure leaping from the corner of the roof, swiftly gliding through the air, and arriving below the steep city wall.

The next moment, he witnessed the lady holding a black jade hairpin, which she thrust into the wall, creating a hole in the solid structure. The lady's figure then swiftly rose higher.

Witnessing this, Jiang Ning immediately understood the lady's martial arts realm.

Not yet a Fifth Rank, she had not mastered Inner Breath.

"Since she's not a Fifth Rank, what's there to fear?"

Jiang Ning's heart instantly calmed.

Then, his pupils dilated again, and he revealed a dazed expression.

The black-gowned lady's special ability was a mental attack, causing him to fall into an illusion, similar to the mental confusion he experienced when he first opened the golden box.

Simultaneously, the people on the wall also fell into the illusion.

This mysterious and profound method made Jiang Ning pay more attention to the black-gowned lady.

However, when he saw how she climbed the wall, he realized he had worried too much.

Although the lady's methods were extraordinary, her martial arts cultivation was mediocre, not even reaching the Fifth Rank.

Not being a Fifth Rank Inner Fortitude Realm, it no longer mattered to him what martial arts level she possessed.

Then, he secretly gathered his Fist Technique.

In less than a few breaths, the black-gowned lady had finished climbing the wall. Her leaping figure appeared in front of Jiang Ning in an instant.

At this moment, a roar echoed.

In the black-gowned lady's eyes, Jiang Ning, standing on the wall, instantly transformed into a tiger bathed in raging flames.

The tiger moved, and the fire reflected in the sky.

"Impossible!!!" Her eyes widened in extreme shock.

This was the Fist Technique!

The thought suddenly emerged in her mind.

The next moment, the tiger bathed in flames in her pupils expanded, and her eyes were instantly filled with flames.

Her mind was suddenly overwhelmed by the might of this Fist Technique.

At this very instant, her figure leaped into the air without any support, and she was also at a moment when her previous strength had been exhausted, and new strength had not yet emerged.

Furthermore, her mind was suddenly intimidated by Jiang Ning's Fist Technique.

Before she could react, she felt her neck instantly locked in a powerful grip.

In that instant, she felt her neck bones being squeezed by that strong hand, making a 'crack' sound, and a strong sense of fear arose in her heart.

The next moment, Jiang Ning did not hesitate. Grabbing the black-gowned lady's neck, he lifted her body and slammed it forcefully against the wall.

Boom—

A dull rumble reverberated throughout the entire wall.

With Jiang Ning's strike, the black-gowned lady's secret art was abruptly broken, and everyone awoke from their illusion.

Some were still immersed, some were dazed, and some were still in shock—various expressions filled the crowd.

There was even someone quietly covering their groin, huddled in the darkness where the torchlight did not reach.

At this moment, Jiang Ning did not stop.

Still holding the black-gowned lady like a rag doll, he slammed her against the wall again.

Boom—

The dull sound echoed once more.

After two powerful strikes, feeling the lady's feeble life force, Jiang Ning finally paused.

Cough, cough, cough—

As Jiang Ning stopped, the black-gowned lady finally had the strength to cough continuously.

Her chest heaved, blood foam emerged from her mouth, and her eyes remained fixed on Jiang Ning.

At this moment, she felt as if her body had fallen apart, and intense pain spread throughout her body.

In this state, she could barely muster any strength.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"That's a question I'd like to ask you too!" Jiang Ning replied, then added, "You must be from the Black Lotus Sect, right?"

"I am the Saintess of the Black Lotus Sect, the vessel for the incarnation of the Black Lotus Mother," the black-gowned lady answered.

"Saintess?" Jiang Ning was surprised by the identity she revealed, "Is the Saintess of the Black Lotus Sect so weak?"

Hearing this, the black-gowned lady's expression turned from shame to annoyance.

At her age and with her abilities, she could not be considered weak anywhere.

However, sensing the strength of the man before her, the pride in her heart instantly deflated.

Not only was he younger, but his power surpassed hers, and he had also comprehended the Fist Technique.

"I am not the official Saintess, but a Substitute Saintess!"

"I see!" Jiang Ning nodded.

At that moment, he also understood why he had sensed the Divine Descendant's aura and divine essence on the black-gowned lady.

Because of the woman's special status.

She is the Black Lotus Sect's Saintess, even a substitute saintess, but still a type of saintess.

From what she just said, it can be known that she is the vessel for the Black Lotus Mother’s descent into the world, which explains the divine aura on her body.

His eyes flickered as he pondered.

Then,

he turned his head to look at the people behind him, his gaze locking onto Ge Zhengyuan.

"Director Ge, there are still twelve Black Mountain Riders. The one leading them has already been killed by me. The remaining twelve Black Mountain Riders, and the Black Mountain Army entering the city, I’ll hand over to you!"

Ge Zhengyuan’s expression instantly turned serious. "No problem!"

"I will take this person back for interrogation first!" Jiang Ning said.

Hearing these words, Ge Zhengyuan glanced at the black-dressed woman's exquisite beauty, instantly revealing a smile of understanding.

"I get it! I get it!!"

In the next moment,

Jiang Ning, holding the black-dressed woman who had lost most of her resistance, leaped out of the city wall, his figure quickly vanishing from the sight of the people.

At this time,

on the city wall.

Everyone’s demeanor was relaxed.

As Jiang Ning had just said, the leader of the Black Mountain Riders had been killed, and now only twelve Black mountain riders were left.

Furthermore, the woman known as the Black Lotus Sect Saintess had been taken away by Jiang Ning.

Currently, the Black mountain army and the remaining twelve black mountain riders were no longer worth mentioning in front of the defense force in Luo Water County.

"That woman was truly beautiful just now!" someone said with a sigh of admiration.

"Rubbish! Didn’t you hear her stated her identity? She is the Black lotus sect’s saintess! Even if an ordinary village maiden becomes the sect’s saintess, she would also be as beautiful as an immortal, unmatched in human beauty."

"True!" another person also sighed, seemingly reminiscing.

"You must remember, all of you are officials appointed by the court. Do not let the Black lotus sect’s enchanting techniques deceive you!!" with a glance at the crowd, Ge Zhengyuan instantly turned serious.

His loud voice instantly made the people on the city wall tighten their hearts.

Only now did some of them react, breaking out in cold sweat all over.

On the other side,

Jiang Ning held the black-dresse woman by the neck, as if carrying a small chicken, his figure rising and falling.

A moment later,

he brought the black-dresse woman to a secluded spot by the Luo water.

At this time, the Luo water lake was already covered by ice and snow. Both dressed in black, under the moonlight, they were particularly noticeable on the snow.

"Sir~~" seeing Jiang Ning stop, the black-dresse woman’s eyes instantly became affectionate, her gaze filled with glistening waves, the corner of her left shoulder instantly slid down, revealing her slender shoulder as white as jade.

In the next moment,

roar,

she heard a roar from a fierce tiger.

Seeing Jiang Ning suddenly transform into a fierce tiger enveloped in raging flames, his the front tiger, had firmly cl her throat, its woman’s moment, tiger could swallowed her into her flames.

Seeing this,, the black dresse woman’s face instantly turned deathly pale, without a trace of blood.

Her quietly exerted charm was instantly dispelled by Jiang ning.

At this moment, Jiang Ning looked at her with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Upon their first meeting, he sensed the divine aura on her, indicating that he could the ability to draw divine points from her.

After trying the effects of the two powers, Jiang Ning was now quite interested in the divine points.

Whether adding points to the Flesh Regeneration or waiting to add points to the divine descendent, both would significantly enhance his capabilities.

In addition to the boost in his physical self-healing ability,

he believed that if the Flesh Regeneration power was further perfected, he might achieve limb regeneration, or even organ regeneration in the future.

This would undoubtedly enhance his life-preservation capabilities.

Moreover, the enhancement of the divine descendent was also the just trust future regeneration the the the the trust and is the the lesser trust to the powerful.

"Crackle—"

the black dresse woman’s long swan instantly began to distort and deform, the cervical vertebrae starting to crack inch by inch.

In an instant,

(End of the Chapter)

The black-gowned lady's face contorted in agony, her eyes pleading like a desperate mother beast seeking survival.

However, in less than two breaths, her pupils began to dissipate.

Already severely injured both inside and out, her bones started shattering, bursting blood vessels and nerves. Her vitality rapidly drained away, and her pupils continued to disperse at an alarming rate.

Suddenly—

The dissipating pupils of the black-gowned lady rapidly refocused, the irises instantly condensing into a pitch-black dot, as black as ink. The irises, now crystal-clear, seemed to have no impurities.

The transformation in her eyes instantly imbued her with an air of nobility and mystique.

"Which wild deity dares to destroy my divine body?" The black-gowned lady's eyes were calm as still waters, and her voice suddenly burst forth from her mouth.

The voice was ethereal and otherworldly, unlike any mortal sound; it seemed to originate from the highest heavens.

Witnessing this sudden change, Jiang Ning's expression turned solemn.

"Black Lotus Mother?" Jiang Ning spoke, his right hand still tightly gripping the black-gowned lady's swan-like neck.

"Knowing my divine name, do you, a newly revived little deity, dare to destroy my divine body?" The black-gowned lady asked.

At this moment, her voice and demeanor were vastly different from before, as if she had become an entirely different person.

It was as if her soul had been replaced.

Jiang Ning realized that the black-gowned lady was currently possessed by the consciousness of the Black Lotus Mother, whom the Black Lotus Sect revered.

This realization made his heart grow heavy.

Such a divine display of possessing a spirit body, merely through consciousness, was truly extraordinary.

It also made him feel that the Black Lotus Mother worshipped by the Black Lotus Sect might surpass the flesh-and-blood deity of the Bai Shen Sect by a significant margin.

"Are there so many so-called deities?" A thought flashed through his eyes.

Jiang Ning stimulated the Heavenly Eye on his forehead, its power intensifying, and his gaze fell upon the black-gowned lady before him.

At that moment—

The strand of consciousness within the black-gowned lady suddenly felt a shiver run through her entire body, and her heart sank. She abruptly felt completely exposed under the gaze of the man before her, her secrets laid bare in an instant.

She also saw a radiant light burst forth from Jiang Ning's eyebrows, so dazzling that it seemed like the awe-inspiring authority of the heavens, making her heart tremble and her mind shake.

"Is that the one?"

A thought instantly flashed through the mind of the consciousness inhabiting the black-gowned lady.

"I don't know if it's a deity's revival, but I, a humble minor deity, apologize for my audacity!" The black-gowned lady's demeanor and tone, which had been lofty and superior a moment ago, suddenly turned humble.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Then, with a calm expression, he said, "Your revival came before mine."

The black-gowned lady spoke with humility, "I have followers who offer sacrifices, and I have initiated a war, collecting the spirits of living beings. Hence, I revived before the deity. However, the deity has already sent an incarnation to the mortal realm, and I am far from reaching that stage! But I beg the deity to spare me!"

Then, she added, "Deity, this divine body of mine is a rare, naturally wise one, and it's of great importance to me. I beseech the deity to be merciful and spare this divine body."

"This person has offended me!" Jiang Ning declared solemnly, his tone steady.

"It's my fault, and I beg for forgiveness. Once the Heavenly Mechanism Spirit revives to a certain level, I will personally come to apologize and seek the deity's forgiveness. As for this divine body, I leave it to the deity's discretion!"

After leaving these words, the black-gowned lady's pupils once again changed, becoming dissipated and lifeless.

Subsequently, her eyes were filled with shock and pleading.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning no longer hesitated.

He exerted force with his five fingers, and a series of cracking sounds accompanied the shattering of her bones.

Instantly, the black-gowned lady lost all signs of life.

At the same time—

A prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Two Divine Points and a fragment of Divine Descendant Authority discovered. Absorb?]



Jiang Ning's eyes flickered as he saw the prompt.

The next moment—

He felt the residual divine aura on the black-gowned lady's body instantly vanish.

[Divine Points]: 2

[Authority]: Flesh Regeneration (Incomplete 13.12%) Divine Descendant (Fragment, Incomplete)



[Divine Descendant]: Flesh Blessing, can enhance the physical progress of descendants. With this, you can control Divine Descendants. (Note: This authority is still incomplete, and its effect is weak. More fragments need to be collected from other deities.)



Jiang Ning glanced at his panel.

It was evident that the black-gowned lady, as one of the Black Lotus Mother's spirit bodies, also had a fragment of the Divine Descendant Authority.

However, even after he harvested it, it was still insufficient to bring about a qualitative change in the Divine Descendant Authority.

The authority was still too incomplete to allocate the Divine Points to it.

The panel's explanation instantly dampened the joy that had just arisen in his heart.

Subsequently, he closed his panel.

The two Divine Points were of no qualitative use to him at the moment, so there was no need to allocate them immediately.
