Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman (36th Heavenly General Divine Power): Create a voodoo strawman using the principle of cause and effect, curse it with seven arrows, and pay respects three times a day.

In one day’s time, all beings below the Immortal Realm can be executed; in seven days, souls will be dissipated, and even Heavenly Immortals will perish under the curse-killing technique; in fourteen days, the Three Flowers will scatter from their crowns, and the Five Qi will dissipate from their chests; in twenty-one days, the calamity of cause and effect will arrive, and even Highest Heaven Immortals cannot escape this disaster!

Staring at the information that popped up on the system interface, Shen Yuan was momentarily stunned, even the imposing presence of the arrival of the Samsara King’s true form from the outside world was briefly ignored by him.

At this moment, his eyes were focused on those four glittering golden characters—Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman!

The Heavenly General 36 Divine Powers stand at the summit of all realms, each with its strengths and emphases.

For example, the 5th ranked, Wind Summoning and Rain Invocation Divine Power, can summon the Samadhi Divine Wind and reverse the flow of the waters of the Heavenly River onto the world, its power nearly limitless.

This Great Divine Power is not only a massacre technique but also carries the two great paths of wind and water within the body of a Heavenly General Great Divine Power; obtaining one could enable the embodiment of an ancient local deity, not to mention possessing both aspects of this divine power.

Compared to this, the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power that Shen Yuan gained before, although extraordinary, its exerted power was far inferior to the Rain Invocation Divine Power.

This was not only because the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption’s ranking was far lower than the incomplete Rain Invocation Divine Power, but an even more crucial point was that the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption merely symbolized the path of Qi training.

If one’s cultivation in the path of Qi training is not profound, incapable of fully mastering an original path, it’s difficult to exhibit its true might, resulting in the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption’s lack of powerful killing ability.

Today, however, the third Heavenly General Great Divine Power that Shen Yuan has gained, is another extreme contrary to Nine Breaths Qi Absorption.

Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman is an utterly pure curse-killing technique; although the path of curses it carries is one of the weaker ones among the three thousand great paths, it monopolizes much of the origin of the path of curses, born for massacre.

Using cause and effect as a medium to weave a voodoo strawman and curse it, as long as enough time is given, it can even curse-kill such personages as Highest Heaven Immortals.

Highest Heaven Immortals, referred to as Emperors in the Heavenly Court, and revered as Exalted Ones within the Taoism Highest Heavens, stand at the peak of all realms.

The capability to curse-kill such powerful experts speaks volumes about the strength of the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Great Divine Power.

“I never expected that after clearing out the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and killing the Master of North Mang Mountain, the reward would be this massacre technique!”

Shen Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of elation.

In Shen Yuan’s original calculations, clearing the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and dealing with the Master of North Mang Mountain would trigger a hidden achievement, but the reward would only be at the level of the Top Ten Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers.

To actually receive a Heavenly General Great Divine Power was a completely unexpected delight.

Although the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman secured was merely the last ranked among the Heavenly General Great Divine Powers, its value to Shen Yuan even exceeded some of the higher ranked Heavenly General Great Divine Powers.

First and foremost, it was because Shen Yuan already possessed the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power, and he no longer had a need for those divine powers that directly tap into the original paths; what he truly needed was a massacre technique that could protect him.

Of the Divine Powers of the Heavenly Generals, there are not a few that are killing techniques, but many of them require the realm of Immortals to even begin practice, a qualification far beyond Shen Yuan’s reach.

Only the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Great Divine Power has no such high thresholds as other massacre techniques, and actually, Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman has no requirement for cultivation at all. Theoretically, as long as one becomes a Divine Power Master, even a common person could use the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman to curse-kill a True Immortal.

This is undoubtedly the most suitable Great Divine Power for Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan suppressed the corner of his mouth that was crazily curling up, stars swirling in his eyes as he calculated some of the causes and effects.

“The last time I gained a Heavenly General Great Divine Power was because I replaced the Heavenly Court to issue an Imperial Edict, deposing River Ji Dragon Sovereign and shaking the foundation of the Aquatic Tribe.

If it were ten thousand years ago, such an action might even have attracted the attention of the Four Great Emperors, so gaining the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power makes sense.

But this time to gain the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power, I merely dealt with the Master of North Mang Mountain and the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the reward seems too generous in comparison.”

This was precisely what puzzled Shen Yuan.

After personally experiencing Fengdu City and glimpsing the tip of the iceberg that is the ancient kingdom of Hell, Shen Yuan truly realized just how colossal the kingdom of Hell is and how beyond his imagination the governing Heavenly Court was.

Although the Master of North Mang Mountain was the First Ghost Immortal of the current age, in actuality, when placed in the Upper World Heavenly Court, he was really insignificant; even during the peak periods of the 10 Netherworld Commanders within the Primal Chaos Realm, he would hardly be taken seriously.

As for the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, despite its great reputation, it’s just a forbidden land of the Primal Chaos Realm, not one of all realms, and it is also something that doesn’t make it to the big stage.

Just by resolving these issues, I got a Heavenly General Great Divine Power in a hidden achievement, which makes them seem almost too cheap.

“Could it be… there are other secrets within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?”

Shen Yuan’s expression shifted, suddenly recalling the bizarre divine curses mentioned in the records of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

In the tens of thousands of years that passed, countless lost souls were massacred and the Mortal Emperor’s resentments before death, originated in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land a strange curse, tainting any being that set foot there.

This curse, immaterial and undetectable even to Immortals, ensures that within seven days of contamination, cultivators below the True Monarch level are certain to die, and even Taoist Doyens at the Peak Stage of Tao Harmony cannot last fourteen days.
