Chapter 5126: Hexweaver
Jaiyan and the others were dumbfounded.
Evelynn also revealed more hex combinations to them, inevitably earning their trust rather than hostility or distrust.
The combination of Poison Hex and Blood Hex unleashed the Tainted Blood Hex, which causes the blood of the target to be tainted with poison but also has plenty of chances to spread across bloodline members should they come into physical contact, like having dual cultivation or even sharing a hug.
The combination of Sealing Hex and Blood Hex unleashed the Bloodline Suppression Hex.
It suppresses the power of bloodline, disallowing the victims to use bloodline techniques and even causing beasts to be unable to use their species technique.
The Purge Hex was one of the three hexes, along with Banishment Hex and the Blood Hex, that made the Evilbane Hexweaver Arachnid a being that fought evil with evil within the Asura Dimension. But the Purge Hex was special since it was a purification hex instead of a harmful hex.
After all, the Purge Hex was capable of breaking nearly any curse in its rank.
Hence, the combination of Purge Hex and Blood Hex unleashed the Bloodcurse Purification Hex.
This curse bloodlines of nearly all kinds of curses and even useful against Bloodcurse Laws.
This was an unexpected surprise since it would allow Evelynn to gain the upper hand against Wicked Tamer.
Nonetheless, with just the six innate hexes she possessed, she had many combinations to explore.
The Collapse Hex, Poison Hex, Sealing Hex, Banishment Hex, Purge Hex, and Demon or Blood Hex.
With just these six alone, she could make dual combinations and triple combinations, and when she ran out of combinations, she could use Charm Hexes or other hexes to add onto them to explore more effects. However, weaving these hexes was easier said than done.
The six hexes were innate hexes that were part of the bloodline, and even though they were compatible, it was still difficult to combine them. Even a King-Tier Evilbane Hexweaver Arachnid could only perform dual combinations with its species technique, Hexweaver.
However, as a fey with an Emperor-Tier Evilbane Hexweaver Arachnid that possessed the species technique known as Triple Hexweaver Technique, she was already capable of weaving three types of the innate hexes, greatly reducing the difficulty.
For an external hex, the difficulty would just be ten times more, but she was still confident in being able to do it, for she was a human-beast fey who was not restricted in learning Laws as much as a magical beast was. As long as she had more comprehension of Hex Laws and broadened her horizons by learning a lot of hexes that were incredibly rare to find in nature as well as from other people’s works, she was confident in being able to weave external hexes with the innate hexes or just combine multiple external hexes to create even more terrifying hexes that she could’ve never imagined.
Realizing this was what left Saintess Lunaria’s disciples truly shaken.
If Evelynn wasn’t Davis’s wife and their ally, she would’ve been a target to eliminate for them.
After all, this kind of technique would bring calamity to the world.
Even for the Bloodruin Cataclysm Hex, if it could bypass the limit of bloodline resonance from a single bloodline family to affect an entire race, it would be a complete disaster!
It could be the end of the human race as they would know it. After all, this hex seemed to become stronger the more cultivators with the same bloodline it infected. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense how Evelynn’s hex had dealt with even a Level Six Exalt and many Mid-Stage Exalts and Primarchs while she was still a Level Three Empyrean.
Her prowess wasn’t like Davis’s, only thirteen levels higher, which put her in a place capable of barely capable of battling with a Level One Exalt, so for her hex to kill Mid-Stage Exalts, it was clear the source of the power came from the hexed individuals themselves through bloodline resonance!
The more people with the same bloodsoul resonance it affected, the stronger it became.
On the other hand, her energy reserves were high due to the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill and her one-third of Chaos Dragon Bloodline, so it wasn’t surprising that it allowed her to activate the hexes against Mid Stage Exalts.
Still, they could think of many ways this could go wrong!
"Does this Bloodruin Cataclysmic Hex work on physiques?" Laphria Rinmei asked with a curiously horrified expression.
"Mhm," Evelynn sounded unsure, "Perhaps if the blood itself is the physique, it might work. Otherwise, it’s hard to tell until I experiment more with it. For a hex, it’s all about whether one could shatter it before it activates. After it activates, it’s very hard to get rid of it, and sometimes, it’ll latch on to you forever, taking advantage of your own blood, soul and karma to remain with you and cause you pain, suffering and other kinds of distressful emotion until one can purify it or the one who cast it dispels it."
"Haha..." Jaiyan laughed dryly, "In one way, this is even worse than my tongue that carries a curse mark that twists the Will of the heaven and earth. Unfortunately, I don’t have any insights into Curse Laws since the curse mark on my tongue is the manifestation of my Heaven-Severing Tongue Physique, which is a physique with the properties of Mandate Laws, Space Laws and Yin Laws."
"It’s not a curse but a reflection of inverted Will that acts against space, hence useful for severing the heaven’s influence. It’s not a curse attribute physique, nor am I talented in Darkness Laws and Karma Laws to be able to learn Curse Laws. Maybe Senior sister Qiyra has learned a lot about Curse Laws."
Jaiyan implied as he turned to look at the black-purple robed woman.
"..." Fairy Qiyra Darkstar remained silent.
Seeing that she didn’t deny it, Evelynn’s gaze flickered with interest.
===========
Saint Riyal Mendez cupped his hands and sent off Head Guard Rowen on his way after he was investigated, although it was more of a formality than a real investigation.
After the head guard left, he did his own research and wondered if his people did it using his name, but he failed to see how it would help them grow to bully a mere Mid Stage Primarch Grade power.
It didn’t make sense unless they had some kind of legacy artifact or a heavenly resource that greatly attracted the attention of the major powers present here, but his informants told him that they had no such thing.
But for some reason, he couldn’t get rid of the image of that black-robed serpent-masked woman.
She was extremely suspicious in his opinion, but he couldn’t give two crystals about who caused the Hayden Family and Miredon Family to fight each other. Instead, he couldn’t forget her sinister yet dignified demeanor, so he ordered his men to investigate this woman further.
