Chapter 5157: World Annihilation Black Lotus Editor: Misty Cloud Translations "Huh? Is that the ancient black lotus?" On a certain Immortal Island, three great emperors stared in astonishment at the black lotus that had flown from Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s chest and was gradually blooming. "So this is the legendary black lotus? I thought it vanished years ago. How did it end up on Xuanyuan Mo Ze?" An elderly figure stroked his beard thoughtfully. "No wonder he carries such dark energy—it’s because the ancient black lotus resides within him." "But..." The middle-aged Great Emperor hesitated, glancing at the other two with grave concern. "This ancient black lotus is an evil bloom. Judging by the situation, Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s soul has already been branded by it. If he ascends, he will surely become a demon, won’t he?" Hearing this, one elder remained silent, merely stroking his beard as he stared at the figure and lotus within the void projection, lost in his own thoughts. The other elder chuckled, shook his head, and turned to the middle-aged Emperor. "No, you’re mistaken." "Hmm?" The middle-aged Emperor looked at him in confusion. Even the pensive elder turned his gaze to the speaking elder, awaiting his next words. The elder smiled, observing the figure and lotus within the void. His wise eyes held a hint of amusement as he spoke in a measured tone: " Since ancient times, it is only the human heart that harbors darkness and evil. Whether one becomes a demon depends not on whether this black lotus has already imprinted itself upon his divine soul, but on whether darkness and wickedness reside within his heart." He paused, stroking his beard as he observed Xuanyuan Mo Ze and the black lotus in the scene. " Truthfully, every person harbors some degree of darkness and fragility within their heart. Yet, if their will is steadfast, that darkness cannot consume them. If their resolve falters and the black lotus stirs their darkest, most wicked nature, then they become its puppet. Conversely, if their will remains firm, they are the one who commands the black lotus." He smiled slightly, turning his gaze to the two of them. "This point is crucial. Who holds the reins determines everything. Moreover..." He paused before continuing, "This Black Lotus is an ancient artifact, the World Annihilation Black Lotus. When it falls into the hands of certain cultivators, its dark power can grant them immense strength, yet it also causes them to lose their true selves, ultimately plunging them into the path of demons and evil. To justify their own cowardice and incompetence, people label this Black Lotus as an embodiment of pure evil and darkness." He sipped his tea and continued, "But in truth, it is one of the four seeds borne by the Primordial Chaos Blue Lotus, a treasure of ancient chaos. This Black Lotus lacks the regenerative power of the Creation Lotus, the purifying power of the Karma Flame Red Lotus, and the sacred power of the Golden Merit Lotus. It is called the World Annihilation Black Lotus, What it possesses is the power of tyranny. Yet, it can absorb this tyrannical, dark force and transform it into immense power. For countless millennia, no one has ever been able to control this power. But clearly, this Xuanyuan Mo Ze has that ability." Hearing this, the two men’s doubts dissolved. Yet, gazing at the blooming black lotus, the middle-aged Emperor inquired, "But what of it? Even now, Xuanyuan Mo Ze might not fully command this black lotus, right? Look at the darkness radiating from him—if..." His words were cut short by a raised hand from the elder across from him.
