Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 577 Bloodline Curse

"call out!"

Just as the Empress Dowager approached, a cunning glint flashed in Taosha's fierce eyes, and a sinister smile crept across its twisted, hideous maw.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed as if countless souls were wailing mournfully in the world. Taosha's blood-red eyes were filled with resentment and venom. The remaining ferocity surged and gathered like a raging tide, instantly condensing into a sharp, black thorn as deep as an abyss. With the force of a thunderbolt, it suddenly stabbed towards the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager's pupils contracted sharply, and the moonlight in her hand swirled like a cascading Milky Way, instantly transforming into a crystal-clear barrier that firmly protected her.

However, the spike spread out strangely. Although it was purified to some extent, it still bypassed the power of the moonlight and pierced her heart.

The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly. In a flash, she turned to the side, and the phoenix robe on her shoulder was instantly torn, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone.

"Om..."

The next moment, a black line appeared near his wound, and it seemed to be alive, trying to spread throughout his body.

"hateful!"

"How dare you hurt me!"

A flash of anger appeared in the Empress Dowager's eyes, and her body erupted with brilliant moonlight power. Under her restraint, the ferocious Taotie could no longer hold on, and its body rapidly disintegrated.

As the power of the moonlight surged, the Taotie's enormous body crumbled inch by inch, finally turning into a wisp of black mist and being completely purified.

However, in just a few breaths, seemingly due to the activation of the moonlight, the black lines on the Empress Dowager's smooth shoulders spread outwards a bit more.

On her once fair and smooth shoulders, an ugly black line, like a maggot clinging to the bone, was particularly glaring.

"What is this?"

The Empress Dowager frowned, feeling a strong sense of rejection. She tried to use the power of the moonlight to purify her wounds.

However, the black markings were extremely strange, as they could even repel the power of the moonlight.

Moreover, every time the Empress Dowager activated the power of the moonlight, the black markings spread further, as if the resentment of the gluttonous demon had taken root in her body.

Even the moonlight flowing around her was shrouded in gloom.

"Bloodline curse!"

Tu Yaoyao's expression was solemn. As a member of the Qingqiu clan, she could feel the terrifying power of the black mark even through the light barrier.

This is a curse that Taosha condensed from the bloodline power of an ancient ferocious beast before its death!

Qin Yu didn't have time to think much. With a thought, she stepped out of her natal space.

"No, don't come near me!"

The moment the Empress Dowager saw Qin Yu, a look of joy welled up in her beautiful eyes. She then took a half step back and covered her shoulder with her hand, as if afraid that he would see her indecent state.

"Your Majesty, let me take a look."

Qin Yu took a deep breath and forced a smile.

The Empress Dowager shook her head, took another step back, and looked resistant.

She didn't want Qin Yu to see the ugly black markings on her body!

She was afraid that Qin Yu would distance herself from her because of this.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager was also activating the power of the moonlight, attempting to purify the black marks under her shoulders.

However, as the power of the moonlight surged, the black lines gradually spread, eventually even failing to conceal the slender hand.

"Qin, Qin Yu, don't look at me!"

The Empress Dowager was almost in tears.

What happened?

How come these annoying black lines can't be purified?
Qin Yu paused, wanting to step forward to comfort her, but seeing the Empress Dowager's resistant expression, she felt a little reluctant.

"Shh!"

The distant battlefield finally came to a halt, and a golden light swept in.

Without saying a word, the Empress grabbed the Empress Dowager's hand. The deep wound that had exposed bone had healed, but a hideous black mark covered almost half of her shoulder and even disappeared into the wings of the great phoenix.

"Bloodline curse!"

The Empress's expression darkened, and a look of seriousness appeared in her majestic and beautiful eyes.

"Your Majesty, can you... help me purify it?"

A mist of tears welled up in the Empress Dowager's beautiful eyes; she was so anxious she was about to cry.

She loathed this black mark; if it were on her hand, she would want to cut it off with a single stroke.

The Empress said nothing more, her body shimmering with three-colored light, and a profound aura emanated from her.

Gold, unstoppable, immortal and indestructible.

Thunder, the might of divine punishment, is used to ward off evil spirits.

Light purifies all evil, making everything holy and flawless.

Compared to the dual attributes of metal and lightning, the primal power of the light attribute is significantly weaker. Clearly, although the Empress has comprehended the Daoist power of the light attribute, her path to the Great Dao is not yet complete, and she has not fully mastered its primal power.

However, at this moment, the Empress could not care about anything else and forcibly activated her original power.

As the three primal forces entered, the black patterns trembled slightly, but did not dissipate or even fade.

This black mark, like a maggot clinging to a bone, firmly clung to the Empress Dowager's smooth, delicate skin. It even seemed to be devouring the power of the source, as it subtly spread further.

Seeing this, the Empress immediately stopped and did not continue trying.

"Your Majesty, what is a bloodline curse?"

Qin Yu was also worried and couldn't help but ask.

“This Taotie possesses the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast, and this black mark is a curse formed from that bloodline.” The Empress spoke slowly, her expression solemn, taking a deep breath.

The Empress did not reveal the whole story: the bloodline curse could affect the Empress Dowager's bloodline power.

Furthermore, it is constantly devouring spiritual energy and Daoist power, continuously strengthening the power of the curse.

From now on, whenever the Empress Dowager activates even a trace of the power of the moonlight, she will suffer the pain of a backlash!

Why can't I get rid of it?

"I hate it so much!"

The Empress Dowager was very anxious. She rubbed her palms together vigorously, trying to remove the black lines.

However, it is clear that this was all in vain.

Even though her fair skin was reddened from rubbing, the dark lines showed no signs of fading.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, why don't you let me give it a try?"

Seeing the Empress Dowager in such a state, Qin Yu felt a pang of heartache.

In his heart, the Empress Dowager was a symbol of innocence and sunshine. Even when she was angered by the Empress, it was only for a moment.

Qin Yu had never seen the Empress Dowager look like this before.

The Empress nodded slightly, indicating her tacit approval.

The Empress Dowager initially wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she was very unwilling for Qin Yu to see the ugly black mark on her body.

However, faced with the Empress and Qin Yu's concerned gazes, the Empress Dowager ultimately closed her beautiful eyes.

Qin Yu stepped forward slowly, her gaze solemn.

The Empress Dowager's shoulders and neck were as elegant as a swan's, her skin rising and falling slightly with her breath. Beneath her delicate skin, faint blue veins could be seen, like a wisp of smoky blue under the glaze of white porcelain, making one want to protect her, yet afraid of breaking her.

However, on such a perfect shoulder, a black line spread and coiled like a venomous snake.

It is not pure black, but has a sinister, dark purple glow. Upon closer inspection, black threads seem to flow within the patterns, like a trapped, vengeful spirit struggling.

Moreover, the boundaries of the black lines are not clear, like ink dripping into clear water, with a subtle tendency to continuously seep outwards and spread.

"Don't, don't look at it."

The Empress Dowager's voice was barely audible. Sensing Qin Yu's breath, she couldn't help but turn her head away.

Qin Yu had been observing the black pattern and then discovered that a large phoenix wing was clearly visible between the tattered phoenix robe.

hiss!
Qin Yu took a deep breath, banished her evil thoughts, and gently extended her palm. As soon as she touched the black pattern, a chill that did not belong to the human world came through her fingertips, as if countless tiny ice needles were piercing under her skin.

He couldn't imagine the immense pain the Empress Dowager was enduring at that moment.

"Om..."

Then, Qin Yu's mind stirred, and her true essence surged forth.

"Humph……"

The Empress Dowager frowned and couldn't help but gasp. The black lines on her face suddenly became hot, as if branded onto her flesh. The pain caused a look of agony to appear on her beautiful face.

Immediately afterwards, a comfortable feeling washed over her, causing the Empress Dowager's delicate eyebrows to relax and her beautiful eyes to slightly narrow.

"Qin Yu, you're so amazing! I feel so...so good."

The Empress Dowager murmured to herself as if in a dream.

After the black markings appeared, she finally felt a sense of relief, and if she could, she really wanted it to stay like this forever.

The Empress stared intently at the black pattern; if it weren't for her concern for the auspicious omen, she would have wanted to reprimand it.

Why does that sound so awkward?!

Hearing such a gentle voice, Qin Yu's heart fluttered...

However, the most crucial thing at this moment is dealing with the curse of the ferocious beast's bloodline. He can only try his best to control the impulse in his heart and try to urge his true essence to refine it.

However, while true essence can purify malevolent energy and death energy, it seems to have little effect on bloodline curses.

Even though Qin Yu had tried her best, she could only give the black lines a boundary, preventing them from spreading like ink in a painting.

"Why is this guy's spiritual power so special?"

The Empress's gaze narrowed slightly.

Every time she saw Qin Yu purifying the malevolent energy and death energy, she was puzzled. She never expected that his spiritual power could actually work on the bloodline curse that she couldn't affect even with her own source power.

However, its effect is too weak!
If this continues, even if Qin Yu exhausts all her strength, she will be unable to purify even a trace of it.

Qin Yu was clearly aware of this, but even if it only had a slight impact, he did not give up, and his powerful true essence continued to surge out.

The Empress sighed inwardly but did not stop it.

Seeing the Empress Dowager in such pain just now, she felt a pang of heartache. If she could, she would even be willing to bear that pain for her.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

As the two half-saint Void Beasts perished, the figures of Void Beasts reappeared in the world.

"Let's go out first."

The Empress took a deep breath, looked at Qin Yu whose breathing was somewhat disordered, and said in a deep voice.

Qin Yu nodded silently, looking at the black markings under her hand that showed no signs of fading, and felt a pang of guilt.

However, just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the Empress Dowager suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, her slender hand pressing tightly against his large one.

Perhaps because the Empress Dowager used too much force, the edge of his palm faintly touched the wings of the great phoenix.
