274 Chapter 274: Zone of Blasphemy
Rezen lost his parents because he was weak. If he was strong enough, even if someone killed his parents, he would be able to revive them. But the reality is that he is far too weak to be able to achieve such a feat
While planting a seed of resentment in his heart, Rezen made sure to remember the faces of these bastards. Once he was strong enough, he would avenge himself
Without a choice, Rezen gave his spatial pouch. He understands that even if these bastards don’t do anything to him inside the valley since he has protection from the Flower of Protection, the world outside the valley is different
These people could bring trouble to Rezen if he doesn’t give them what they want. His identity as a tribesman is also another disadvantage for him
With a chuckle, the bastards took Rezen’s spatial pouch before taking out all of its content
After seeing that the pouch only contains several pieces of Bellmond Flowers, the bastards glared at Rezen
“Useless! This is all you have?! Tsk, what to expect from a puny 1st cycle Junior Mage?!” The man said in disdain and after storing the Bellmond Flowers inside his own pouch, he threw Rezen’s pouch back to him
These people might be bullies but they still know how things work. If they take Rezen’s spatial pouch, what they did would easily be found out and they would be punished
The risk is not worth the rewards and after glaring at Rezen one last time, they started walking away
If it was a magic beast that Rezen encountered, that magic beast would attack him on sight and the Flower of Protection would be activated. Soon, the mages of the valley would arrive to save him
The same thing would happen if fellow humans attacked him and since these two don’t want to get into trouble, as much as they want to hit Rezen, in fear that the Flower would automatically activate, they could only glare at him
This kind of thing most likely happened because of the heavens’ blessed fortune aura. The flower bud did not directly attack Rezen but its fortune aura causes misfortune to befall upon him
However, since fortune aura works in realistic ways, he only encountered the two bastards and got robbed but his life was not endangered
This gave Rezen a taste of how fortune aura works. Of course, things do not always work like this since the fortune aura does not always protect the heavens’ blessed
These entities simply have luck but if they are in a place where no variable could be moved to help them, they are no different than any normal human
After the robbers moved and Rezen cannot see them anymore, he stared at the flower bud with a menacing look in his eyes
He was reminded how weak he was in a bad way all thanks to the influence of this flower bud’s fortune aura. This puts Rezen in a bad mood and he continues to approach the heavens’ blessed
Since fortune aura is not omnipotent, with the effect of the farm’s aura, Rezen doesn’t think that this flower bud could continue to escape his grasp
After standing two meters away from the flower bud, Rezen used his magic wand. He waved his wand around and soon, a magic formation was created by him with the aid of the farm’s aura
The magic formation was composed of a magic circle below Rezen, a magic circle below the target inside an even larger magic circle that encompasses both of them
This is a spell that he could only activate with the farm’s help and is the spell that he will rely on when stealing the fortune aura of the heavens’ blessed
“[Zone of Blasphemy Activate!]”
Stealing fortune aura is a hard thing to do because there are few methods that could allow a person to do that
The difficulty of learning or discovering a method and enacting it might only be a rank lower compared to stealing the origin energy of a realm
It is not something that could be easily done and even the Serpentine Empress with a mysterious yet surely strong background could not steal origin energy by herself. She has to rely on her treasure that broke before she could succeed in her plan
A mage if they are talented enough might easily gain the power to destroy an entire realm but stealing the fortune aura of the heavens’ blessed and the realm’s chosen is a different matter
One concept is akin to bombing an advanced city while the other is to create a city from scratch while the people are still in a primitive stage
Certain conditions or treasures must be used to plunder fortune aura and a weak 1st cycle Junior Mage like Rezen cannot do it on his own even if there are a million of him
However, the mysterious farm is different. Using the green aura that covered Rezen’s body as fuel, he was able to achieve something that no entity at his level should be able to do
The magic formation lit up and soon, Rezen’s vision blurred
——
When Rezen could finally see again, he found out that he was not in the Bellmond Valley anymore
He is in a special place that Ivy called the [Zone of Blasphemy]
This is a special place that could enable Rezen to steal the fortune aura of others and all around him, all he can see was a white expanse
The space feels like it has neither end nor a start. It was simply an infinite world of white
This place gave Rezen a peculiar feeling. He is in this place but at the same time he was not
He can’t say that only his soul is in this place and his physical body is still in Bellmond Valley since his physical manifestation in this place is also the same as his real physical body
However, at the same time, his physical body is really still in the Bellmond Valley and to other people, it only looks like he was not moving
This is a mystical place that is hard to explain but as a place where Rezen could steal fortune aura, this is to be expected
If Rezen wants to fully steal the fortune aura of the flower bud, he must destroy this entity that surely wouldn’t just let him do what he wants
The only fortunate thing is that the farm is suppressing the fortune manifestation and Rezen has a chance of defeating it
With the level of the fortune aura that the flower bud has, the fortune manifestation doesn’t have enough strength to attack like a mage
It could only do one thing which was to attack Rezen’s mind
The act of stealing the fortune that the heavens bestowed upon an entity is blasphemy to the heavens. Cruel punishment awaits those that tried to do it without enough power
Soon, the forehead of the fortune manifestation shone with a light that landed on Rezen’s body and his eyes immediately trembled
“Arrghhh!!!!” Rezen started screaming from the pain as he held his head. An excruciating pain assaulted him and he knelt down from it
He was committing blasphemy to the heavens and if he cannot endure this, cruel punishment would await for him
Even death might be a release for the punishment that would befall him
The heavens are both fair and unfair. A person might be born with enormous talent while another would be born with none
However, if the talented person is unlucky, he might fall early and if the untalented was lucky and worked hard, he might reach great heights
Some entities were bestowed with a fortune aura and many doesn’t. As such, while stealing the fortune aura is blasphemy to the heavens, the heavens would not simply erase the existence of the blasphemer directly
The heavens would give the thief a chance to survive and if they did, the fortune would be theirs to utilize but if they failed, a cruel punishment will fall upon them
Of course, different methods once used and succeed would result in different outcomes
There are methods that would simply transfer the fortune aura of the target to them while there are methods that could simply store the fortune aura and give it to others
There are even methods that could combine the fortune aura of many heavens’ blessed. While these methods are rare and could not be easily used, there were still many varieties since the universe is an extremely large place with an uncountable number of living beings
While the benefits are great, one must survive the ordeal first if one wants to use it
The pain on Rezen’s head was so horrible that he started scratching his face while his eyes were completely bloodshot
He learned this method the day he learned about the heavens’ blessed but no amount of time could ready him for something like this
