What Li Yao hadn't expected was that this time he would actually extract 300 points of divine soul.
Upon closer reflection, it's not surprising; these divine souls must have originated from the curse power of Cangjie.
It seems that even if he couldn't read the "Heavenly Cry Scripture" this time, his trip wasn't in vain.
Of course, he still wanted to witness the magical power of the "Heavenly Cry Scripture".
After careful consideration, he realized that he was probably not someone with a destiny of "extreme despair".
It seems the only option is to have Wudao Kuangtian open the "Heavenly Cry Scripture".
Because Wudao Kuangtian is a person with this kind of destiny.
Li Yao pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Wudao Kuangtian beside him and said, "Wudao Kuangtian, haven't you always wanted to read the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture' and obtain the supernatural power to know all the secrets of the world? Now, I will give you this opportunity to open the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture'."
"ah?"
"You...you want me to open...the Heavenly Crying Sutra?"
Wudao Kuangtian, still gripped by fear, shuddered upon hearing Li Yao's words.
He knew, of course, that the Heavenly Cry Scripture was cursed; otherwise, he wouldn't have occupied Broken Sun Peak for so long without daring to use it.
He cultivated the 'Heavenly Mad Blood Absolute' in order to open the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture' and avoid being cursed.
However, even though he had already cultivated the 'Heavenly Mad Blood Absolute', he still dared not open it.
Because he knew that the curse of the "Heavenly Crying Sutra" was absolutely terrifying.
The clay Buddha statue serves as a cautionary tale.
Therefore, in the original work, Wudao Kuangtian wanted Bu Jingyun, who also had the destiny of 'extreme despair', to bear the curse on the Heavenly Cry Scripture in his place.
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "You now have two choices: first, open the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture'; second, die now."
"Well……"
Wudao Kuangtian's face darkened.
Both of these paths are dead ends.
However, he was afraid of death and didn't want to die immediately.
Furthermore, he cultivated the 'Heavenly Mad Blood Absolute' technique, which allows him to conjure a false body.
Perhaps, his false body can bear the curse of the "Heavenly Crying Sutra" on behalf of his true body.
After thinking it over, he nodded in agreement.
He then instructed Li Yao to place the "Heavenly Cry Scripture" back onto the giant rock in the center of the Ten Thousand Years Tears Spring.
Then, he hid far away.
Once he felt the distance was far enough, he unleashed the "Heavenly Mad Blood Annihilation," using his blood, true energy, and a wisp of divine soul to condense a blood-red figure.
The blood-red figure, under the control of the true form of Wudao Kuangtian, picked up the "Heavenly Cry Scripture," hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the scripture.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Cry Scripture burst forth with a golden light more dazzling than sunlight, directly destroying Wudao Kuangtian's illusory body.
Just as Wudao Kuangtian was congratulating himself on his foresight in escaping the curse, a faint blue light shot towards him.
Chapter 266 The Power of Curse, Beyond the Three Realms
The faint blue light was so weak that Wudao Kuangtian didn't even notice it.
However, Li Yao saw it clearly.
He had no idea what that faint blue light was.
However, he subconsciously raised his hand and struck the blue light with lightning speed.
boom!
A terrifyingly loud bang caused the entire stone hall to shake violently.
At the same time, it burst forth with thousands of dazzling blue lights, illuminating the entire stone hall in a blue glow, which was quite eerie.
Immediately, the blue light vanished without a trace, and the stone hall returned to normal.
"This is……"
Wudao Kuangtian was dumbfounded, unable to understand the bizarre scene unfolding before his eyes.
Li Yao asked, "After your avatar opened the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture,' before I made my move, did you see a faint blue light?"
"No!"
Wudao Kuangtian shook his head blankly.
Li Yao then asked, "Did your fake body see the contents of the 'Heavenly Crying Sutra' just now?"
"No!"
Wudao Kuangtian shook his head again and said, "My avatar was destroyed by that golden light as soon as it opened the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture,' so I didn't have a chance to see it at all."
Li Yao approached the Spring of Tears of Ten Thousand Years and discovered that the "Heavenly Crying Scripture" that had fallen to the ground was closed.
At this moment, he already had some guesses in his mind.
He saw the faint blue light, which must be the power of the curse.
Because his soul was extremely powerful, and because he was not from this world, but belonged to the kind of person who transcended the Three Realms.
That's why he was able to see the faint glow of the curse's power.
Just as the power of the curse was about to descend upon Wudao Kuangtian's true form, it was blasted away by Li Yao's punch.
At the same time, it also generated tremendous power.
This clearly demonstrates the immense power of the curse.
Moreover, the avatar was extremely vulnerable to the power of the curse and was instantly destroyed.
Therefore, even though Wudao Kuangtian cultivated the "Heavenly Mad Blood Absolute" and used a fake body to open the "Heavenly Cry Scripture," he could not escape the curse of Heavenly Cry.
If Li Yao hadn't been quick-witted and destroyed the curse power, Wudao Kuangtian would probably have already been cursed.
However, Li Yao did not think of this at the time.
If Li Yao's guesses are correct, then as an outsider to this world, he should not be cursed by the Heavenly Cry.
I just don't know if he can open the "Heavenly Crying Sutra".
After thinking it over, Li Yao decided to give it a try himself.
So he reached out and grabbed it from a distance, and the "Heavenly Crying Sutra" flew into his hand.
Then, he very carefully opened the "Heavenly Crying Sutra".
To his surprise, he opened the "Heavenly Crying Sutra" very easily.
Moreover, there was neither dazzling golden light nor faint blue light.
Could it be that I, too, am destined for an 'extreme and utterly desolate' fate?
Li Yao thought about it for a moment and immediately rejected the idea.
He felt that his ability to open the scriptures was related to his status as an outsider.
The "Heavenly Cry Scripture" is a concept from the world of Fengyun; it simply doesn't exist in other worlds.
In other words, all the settings of the "Heavenly Cry Scripture" only apply to people in the world of Fengyun.
As an outsider, he belongs to the realms beyond the three realms of this world.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the "Heavenly Cry Scripture" is, it cannot detect his destiny, and no matter how strong the curse is, it has no effect on him.
In short, as I said before, he is simply an anomaly, a bug in the rules of the world.
For Li Yao, all the constraints of this world had become ineffective.
So, can he obtain the predictive supernatural power of the "Heavenly Crying Scripture"?
Li Yao was very curious.
So his gaze fell on the first page of the "Heavenly Crying Sutra".
The book was covered with dense, messy, and randomly arranged text, without any pattern.
In fact, there were quite a few characters that Li Yao didn't recognize.
Then, Li Yao turned to the second page.
It was still a dense, haphazardly arranged text.
It's like a book written in the heavens, completely baffling to people.
Page 3, Page 4, Page 5...
Every single page is like this.
Li Yao flipped through it several times, but couldn't find any clues.
Could it be that the "Heavenly Crying Sutra" is fake?
Impossible. When Wudao Kuangtian's fake body opened the scripture earlier, a golden light burst forth from the scripture, along with a faint blue light.
This clearly shows that the scripture is genuine.
Moreover, Li Yao successfully copied the "Heavenly Crying Scripture".
If it's a counterfeit, it definitely can't be copied.
If it's true, then is it because Li Yao is an outsider that he can't understand the "Heavenly Cry Scripture"?
Li Yao could not confirm.
However, he decided to give it one last try.
This time, he cut off all distracting thoughts and focused his mind solely on the "Heavenly Crying Sutra".
Then, something amazing happened.
The text on the "Heavenly Crying Sutra" vanished instantly.
