Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 446: Of Course—Whatever Grandpa Says, Goes
Chapter 446: Of Course—Whatever Grandpa Says, Goes
Shen Mo looked at the formerly arrogant but now groveling skull, wearing a faint, amused smile.
The reason for the spirit’s drastic change in attitude was simple.
He had revealed the Nine Nether Iceflame.
The Nine Nether Iceflame was incredibly effective at restraining demons.
And since this spirit had formed from demonic corruption within the Taiyi Demon Armor, it could be considered a part of the demon clan.
Naturally, it was also suppressed by the Nine Nether Iceflame.
Shen Mo casually waved a hand. “Change your appearance. This skull form is too ugly.”
The spirit nodded repeatedly, quickly transforming into an old man with white hair and beard.
Shen Mo shook his head. “Too old.”
The spirit thought for a moment and changed again—this time into a fierce and burly man, muscular and imposing.
Shen Mo shook his head again. “Too intimidating.”
The spirit pulled a long face and transformed once more, this time into a curvy, flirtatious woman who threw Shen Mo a sultry glance.
Her facial features were delicate, but…
The arrangement was completely off.
Crooked eyes and a lopsided mouth—"grotesque" would be putting it lightly.
Shen Mo chuckled. “You clearly haven’t seen enough human women. Forget it.”
Looking utterly wronged, the spirit finally turned into a little child with a high ponytail. “How about this?”
Shen Mo nodded reluctantly. “Barely acceptable. Now tell me—what’s your name? Taiyi?”
The child drooped his eyes. “Reporting to Grandpa, I don’t have a name. The previous spirit—the one that died—was named Taiyi.”
Shen Mo nodded. “A name, huh? That’s my specialty.”
“Since the last one was called Taiyi, you’ll be Tai’er (Tai Two).”
The child beamed. “Thank you for bestowing the name, Grandpa!”
Shen Mo asked again, “Tai’er, what functions do you have? Introduce yourself.”
Tai’er straightened up solemnly. “Reporting to Grandpa, I’ve got tons of functions!”
But just as he was about to demonstrate, he hesitated and said timidly, “Grandpa… could you move the flame grandpa over there a little? I’m scared…”
Shen Mo chuckled and casually waved his hand, drawing the Nine Nether Iceflame back into his divine palace.
Only then did Tai’er let out a sigh of relief.
He did something unknown, and the armor suddenly burst forth with a powerful shield of blood energy.
Tai’er grinned. “This is the True Blood Barrier.”
“The Taiyi Demon Armor usually absorbs Grandpa’s residual blood energy and stores it inside.”
“When you’re in danger, the armor will activate this True Blood Barrier to block enemy attacks.”
He thumped his chest proudly. “Rest assured, Grandpa—this barrier can withstand a full-strength blow from an ordinary Demon Emperor!”
Shen Mo’s smile deepened. “This True Blood Barrier… does it follow your will or mine?”
“If I’m facing a deadly threat, will it still activate?”
Tai’er’s smile turned a little stiff. He said awkwardly, “Of course it follows your will.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. You and I are bound together. How could I not obey?”
Shen Mo still smiled faintly.
Even though Tai’er had been suppressed by the Nine Nether Iceflame, he was clearly rebellious by nature.
There was no way Shen Mo would entrust his life to him.
Shen Mo tapped his knee. “That’s just one feature? A single True Blood Barrier? That’s awfully poor for a Heaven-tier spirit artifact.”
Tai’er quickly said, “Of course there’s more!”
He held out his little hand. “Grandpa, do you have any blood from powerful beings? Human, demon, flood dragon—even demon clan is fine.”
Shen Mo thought for a moment and took out a drop of demon beast blood from his storage ring.
The Demon Suppression Sea was teeming with sea beasts.
Most of these had been corrupted by demonic energy, turning into demonic sea beasts.
However, after killing and purifying them, their blood could still be used.
In fact, their blood was especially potent—and demon beast blood was a main ingredient in essence blood pills.
Naturally, Shen Mo had some stored for emergencies.
This drop came from a seventh-rank demon beast—the Bloodbane Shark.
Tai’er caught the blood, enveloped it in demonic energy, and injected it into the armor.
Buzz!
The purple-black Demon Armor instantly changed form, becoming sea-blue in color.
It looked as if it were made from sharkskin.
Once equipped, it would allow the wearer to swim freely in the ocean, just like a fish.
“That's it?” Shen Mo shook his head.
This didn’t seem much different from the old Demon Armor.
Tai’er quickly said, “No, no, Grandpa, don’t rush!”
He raised a hand.
A strange power erupted from the Demon Armor.
In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a massive, demonized blood shark dozens of meters long!
Fierce and savage, ready to devour all!
It was the Bloodbane Shark.
Shen Mo instantly felt a trace of threat from this demonized creature.
What surprised him even more was that he actually saw it use the Bloodbane Shark’s innate ability!
Tai’er said obsequiously, “Grandpa, the True Blood Barrier was an original ability.”
“But this—this is something the Taiyi Demon Armor gained after being demonized!”
“With just one drop of blood, it can replicate the blood's owner and even use their abilities!”
Only then did Shen Mo nod slightly.
Now that was impressive—far more powerful than before.
With just one drop of blood, it could reproduce all the original owner’s abilities from when they were alive.
Even though the replication only lasted for a few seconds, that was more than enough.
“What if I replicated someone like Zhang Longxiang?”
“Or stole a drop of blood from a Great Demon and replicated one of them?”
“Or even used my own blood… to replicate myself?”
Shen Mo pondered, a pleased expression on his face.
Used wisely, this would be a devastating trump card.
Imagine the enemy finally exhausting all his spiritual energy and blood force—
Only for Shen Mo to produce another version of himself with just a drop of blood.
Another round of spiritual and blood-force techniques would rain down.
How hopeless would that feel?
Tai’er grinned. “Grandpa, this move doesn’t have a name yet. Please name it!”
Shen Mo thought for a moment. “Let’s call it Blood Condensation, Spirit Incarnate.”
Tai’er raised a thumb and flattered him shamelessly. “Yes, yes! Grandpa’s naming is just unmatched—concise and powerful!”
Then he added, “Grandpa, the Taiyi Demon Armor has a third function.”
Shen Mo was intrigued. “A third one?”
Tai’er replied solemnly, “As long as you wear the Taiyi Demon Armor, you can completely alter your appearance and disguise yourself as a demon.”
“But it can only fool low-tier demons and regular true demons.”
“If a Great Demon is nearby, they’ll see through the disguise easily.”
Shen Mo’s thoughts stirred.
Now that was an interesting feature.
Someday, this could be used to launch a surprise infiltration.
He, a Zhenmo Guard, could walk right into demon territory and easily gather information.
It would also help him gain the demons’ trust.

However, infiltrating the demon clan carried enormous risk.
Just as Tai’er said—Great Demons could easily see through the disguise.
Unless absolutely necessary, Shen Mo wouldn’t recklessly take such a risk.
“From now on, stay quietly within the Taiyi Demon Armor. Without my command, you are not to appear.”
Shen Mo ordered casually.
Tai’er bowed humbly. “Yes, yes! Of course—whatever Grandpa says, goes!”
With that, he turned into a black wind and vanished into the Taiyi Demon Armor.
Shen Mo raised his hand.
The Taiyi Demon Armor automatically equipped itself, wrapping around his entire body.
With just a thought, the armor would vanish completely—leaving no trace of its presence.
It wouldn’t affect his movements at all.
It felt as light and unobtrusive as a layer of silk.
“Good. Back to cultivation.”
Shen Mo closed his eyes, blood energy surging, as he resumed training in the Divine Elephant Subdues Prison Force.
