Chapter 787 - 808: Self-Created Spatial Martial Skill
Chu Linfeng slowly began to comprehend the Power of Heaven and Earth. Last time, he felt as if he had discovered something but it remained vague, perhaps due to insufficient time. This time in seclusion, Chu Linfeng decided he must grasp this understanding before coming out.
Recalling the situation when he comprehended Instant Teleportation, Chu Linfeng gradually entered a meditative state, his mind becoming a field of Void Clarity. As time passed, he felt like a speck of dust amidst the vastness of Heaven and Earth, swaying with the elemental waves between.
At a certain moment, Chu Linfeng opened his eyes. He himself didn’t know how long this comprehension took. It seemed he understood that to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth, one must merge with it. Every blade of grass, every tree contains this power. Once this breakthrough is found, one can borrow and wield it.
It’s like diverting water from a river into a trench to irrigate fields and benefit the people. If the trench is large enough, it could cause floods, harming the people. The key lies in the level of comprehension. The higher the level, the greater the borrowed power. Some might even move mountains or create new worlds.
Although Chu Linfeng understood this, he still didn’t know how to manifest a Domain. As he pondered, the Nascent Soul in his mind spoke, "A Domain is essentially controlling the Power of Heaven and Earth around you to bind the surroundings. This power is the Heaven and Earth Elements. You need to resonate with the elemental molecules of Heaven and Earth to manifest this power.
Although you’ve comprehended the Five Elements, you can’t resonate with the Heaven and Earth Elements instantly. It requires slow perception, exploration. Breaking a Domain is the same; once it appears, if you resonate with its Heaven and Earth Elements, it won’t exist anymore.
It’s simple to say but difficult to do. Take your time to experience it. This secret chamber is also a space you can use to resonate with any element within it. Once achieved, you might use the Power of Heaven and Earth and create a Domain."
After hearing this, Chu Linfeng felt enlightened like a splash of cold water. The Nascent Soul continued, "Don’t worry, we are one. Once you’ve comprehended enough, I’ll assist you. Only by you growing stronger can I become stronger."
Chu Linfeng felt speechless. Is it really me or you? Why is there a distinction? Instead, he focused entirely on perceiving the elements of Heaven and Earth.
Having already comprehended the Five Elements, finding them in the vastness of Heaven and Earth was easy. The challenge lay in resonating with them to wield them, avoiding the previous absorption and gathering method. Resonant Heaven and Earth Elements leave no trace, appearing only when a Domain forms, just like when Chu Linfeng battled the Ghost Race Grand Elder, manifesting the Fire Domain.
Achieving resonance with elements isn’t easy. Once done, it’s smooth sailing. The second time is simpler, and over time it becomes as familiar as Instant Teleportation, incredibly wondrous.
Chu Linfeng’s Divine Sense roamed the secret chamber, trying to communicate with the elemental molecules. Mastery doesn’t imply communication or resonance. Chu Linfeng failed repeatedly, nearly losing patience.
Effort doesn’t go unrewarded. One day, Chu Linfeng discovered the fire element molecules in the space moving with his thoughts, a thrilling discovery as it was the best sign of resonance.
Controlling his excitement, Chu Linfeng slowly began controlling the fire elements. As more fire elements resonated with him, a flame formed not far from him, and its temperature was quite high.
"Haha, I have finally resonated with the fire element and can now manifest flames, what a surprise," Chu Linfeng said joyfully.
However, Sword Spirit was so shocked it could hardly speak. For Chu Linfeng to manifest flames in space wasn’t merely comprehending the fire element, but creating a unique space Martial Skill.
This space Martial Skill is terrifying, its power and range growing with strength. Striking instantly leaves opponents defenseless.
It’s like standing tens of meters apart and suddenly a flame engulfs you, catching the opponent off guard. This is a perfect moment to unleash Martial Skills in their chaos, imagining the consequences becomes frightening.
If ice elements freeze the opponent or thunder elements paralyze them, they’re like sitting ducks, awaiting slaughter, absolutely heaven-defying.
Realizing this, Sword Spirit understood Chu Linfeng may not manifest a Domain. He’s inherently different, doing so many heaven-defying things. If he manifested a Domain, it would be an anomaly in Heaven and Earth.
"Lin Feng, congratulations on resonating with the fire element so quickly. Try the other elements?" Sword Spirit suggested.
"Why can’t I form a Domain from this? Using fire element in space only forms flames. Am I misunderstanding?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"You don’t need to ask much about this. What you’re experiencing now surpasses Domains. With Martial Skill-like ability, your power will soar. Mastered correctly, it can easily break through Domains," Sword Spirit replied.
This heartened Chu Linfeng, as he had little interest in Domains—his focus on resonating with space elements was to break the Domains of Fifth-Realm Venerable Martial Powerhouses. Since he found a way, he needed to double down.
He began communicating with other elements, knowing he must master the Five Elements to break the opposing Domain. If an opponent used a Water Domain and he couldn’t resonate with the Water Element, he couldn’t break it.
With repeated failures, Chu Linfeng gradually gained insight. Resonating with any element requires heartfelt communication, imagining oneself as an elemental molecule to achieve it.
As time passed, he communicated with the second element: Water. Before long, heavy snowflakes fell before him, followed by several eerie icy formations...
