Shen Luo was shrouded in light, his aura surged, and layers of red-gold flames enveloped his body. There was also a golden fire ring floating behind his head. He looked like the Buddha or the Emperor of Heaven, with a solemn and majestic appearance.
The aura on his body had surprisingly reached the peak of the Heavenly Venerate, and he seemed to be only one step away from the supreme realm of the Great Heavenly Venerate.
However, Shen Luo looked very depressed at this moment, with his brows furrowed.
In his hands, the colors of the two round pebbles, one black and one white, had become very light, but the innate energy contained in them was still comparable to the sum of the Minghong Sword and the God of War Whip, enough to make the twelfth lotus bloom.
But after the twelfth lotus bud grew, it seemed to be frozen. Although its roots absorbed nourishment from the innate energy, there was still no sign of flowering.
Shen Luo put away the black and white pebbles and carefully examined the last lotus bud. He saw that golden lines had already appeared under its leaves, but a faint breath of law was overflowing from the bud.
"This is… "
Shen Luo was puzzled and tried to activate the Chaos Black Lotus with his magic power. All other lotuses responded except the unopened bud, from which a tiny cloud emerged, wrapping the bud and trapping it inside.
"Could it be an innate restriction?" This thought suddenly popped up in Shen Luo's mind.
He had heard Huo Lingzi mention that before some innate divine creatures grow to maturity, just like humans practicing, they will face various disasters and tests. This innate restriction is the biggest test, just like a heavenly calamity.
The innate restrictions coexist with the divine object and grow together with it, but they are the last hurdle on the road to the growth of the divine object.
Once the restriction is broken and the divine object is fully mature, it will become an innate spiritual treasure that is hard to find throughout the ages. If the restriction cannot be broken, it will stop there and there will be no possibility of further improvement in grade.
Now, if Shen Luo wants the twelfth lotus to mature and bloom, he needs to break this innate restriction first.
He raised his hand and opened the door to the Xiaoyao Mirror space. He invited Huo Lingzi out again, told him the situation of the Chaos Black Lotus, and sought help.
"Breaking the innate restriction... this requires opportunity." Huo Lingzi was also very surprised after reading it, and finally said so.
"Opportunity?" Shen Luo was surprised.
"It's not easy for innate spiritual treasures to mature. Generally, they need the help of opportunities. Only then can they overcome the suppression of innate restrictions and achieve success. As for opportunities... It could be a drop of water, a bolt of lightning, a gust of wind, or even a drop of urine from a monster. There is no fixed number. It all depends on fate." Huo Lingzi sighed.
The meaning of his words was very clear, and he himself didn't know what the opportunity of this Chaos Black Lotus was.
Shen Luo was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If that's the case, then the chance of this Chaos Black Lotus is that it met me."
"What do you want to do?" Huo Lingzi asked hurriedly after hearing this.
Shen Luo did not answer, but turned his wrist, a black light flashed in his palm, and then a black single-edged axe appeared.
Seeing Shen Luo take out the Axe of Creation and sensing the aura of destruction on it, Huo Lingzi was shocked: "What do you want to do? This Chaos Black Lotus cannot be chopped!"
