Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

He let out a long, turbid breath. As his gaze cleared, Mu Chen suddenly found that the world around him had changed. It was as if every single thing possessed a beating soul, as if the flowers and grass beside him were smiling at him with affection. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Do you suddenly feel as if the whole world has become a more wonderful place? As if everything feels a strong sense of reliance and affection toward you?"

Mu Chen wasn’t too surprised by Feng Chaoming’s appearance. Although he had entered a state of Cultivation, the Multi-tasking ability granted to him by the Forest of Myriad Manifestations allowed him to leave a wisp of Spiritual Power to observe his surroundings. He had known Feng Chaoming was there from the moment he sat down. Hearing Feng Chaoming’s words now, Mu Chen simply nodded, his expression full of interest.

"Why is that?" Feng Chaoming chuckled. "It’s because you’ve absorbed a sufficient amount of pure Light Attribute Elemental Power."

Before Mu Chen could speak, Feng Chaoming continued, "If Wood Attribute Elemental Power is what’s most compatible with the living creatures of the Extreme Martial Continent, then Light Attribute Elemental Power is what’s most compatible with the entire continent itself. Be it living plants, animals, or even intangible things, as long as it exists, it is compatible with the Light Attribute—even the night. This is why Light Attribute Martial Artists are known as the greatest healers. Because it is compatible with all things, it can repair all things. Of course, restoring human limbs still requires a Martial Emperor. You, however, are a special case. But what surprises me the most is that you’re actually able to absorb Light Attribute Elemental Power."

Mu Chen shook his head helplessly. "Although I can absorb Light Attribute Elemental Power, my knowledge of it is sorely lacking, so I don’t really understand its uses."

"Its uses?"

Feng Chaoming pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Aren’t you surprised by my appearance?"

Mu Chen froze. He was stunned for a long moment before he finally noticed how drastically Feng Chaoming had changed. Not only did his face look much younger, but his posture was more upright, and he had even grown a thick head of long, black hair. ’What a sudden change of topic,’ Mu Chen thought, the corner of his mouth twitching. He said, "Elder Feng, you absorbed the Jade Green Spiritual Liquid and were filled with new vitality, so this kind of change is perfectly normal."

"Oh, is that so." Feng Chaoming gave an awkward smile. "Well then, let’s get back to the uses of Light Attribute Elemental Power. Light Elemental Power has many uses, but two are the most prominent. The first is healing, or in other words, treating injuries. The second is purification. Between the two, the effect of purification is far greater than that of healing. It can purify anything from curses, to poisons that accumulate over time, to the Corrosive Power of a Dark Attribute Martial Artist. You could say that Light Attribute Elemental Power is the bane of all negative forces."

"The bane of all negative forces?" Mu Chen mulled over the phrase and asked, "Does that mean I can counter Dark Attribute Martial Artists and Poison Cauldron Masters with my Light Attribute Elemental Power?"

"You’re thinking too much of it." Feng Chaoming shot him down without mercy. "How could it possibly counter a Poison Cauldron Master? If Light Attribute Martial Artists could do that, then Poison Cauldron Masters would have been hunted to extinction thirty thousand years ago."

"Listen carefully to what I just said. It purifies *poisons that accumulate over time* and the *Corrosive Power of Dark Attribute Martial Artists*. The applications are very specific. In other words, your Light Attribute Elemental Power can only purify poisons that slowly eat away at a person’s life force over a long period, and the Corrosive Power infused in a Dark Attribute Martial Artist’s Combat Skills. Conversely, if a Poison Cauldron Master uses a poison that kills instantly, or one that proves fatal in a short amount of time, you won’t be able to save the victim—even if that victim is you—despite possessing Purification Power. As for Dark Attribute Martial Artists, not even one in ten people survives a direct hit from their Combat Skills. You should understand now, right?"

Mu Chen felt a bit sheepish. ’Going by what Feng Chaoming said, this Light Attribute Elemental Power is pretty much useless for me. First, I’m not afraid of Dark Attribute Martial Artists. The perceptive power of my Ice Extreme Demon Pupils renders their vaunted Shadow Stealth completely ineffective against me. Second, I’m even less afraid of Poison Cauldron Masters. My Calamity Divine Body is immune to all poisons, so the ability to purify them doesn’t do me much good either.’

However, the ability to be in harmony with all things was a pleasant surprise for him. Moreover, because his body was brimming with Light Attribute Elemental Power, it felt as if the ambient Primordial Power of the world had developed a strong attraction to him, accelerating his Cultivation speed once again. For him, at this moment, no benefit could be more pleasing than an increase in his Cultivation speed.

"I saw you cultivating for five straight days without any sign of fatigue. Why did you suddenly stop now?" Feng Chaoming asked, puzzled.

"What’s wrong with stopping?" Mu Chen rolled his eyes and continued, "I may not be tired, but after cultivating for so long, I want to get a little active."

"Hm? Get active? Heheheh..." As soon as Mu Chen spoke, a glint flashed in Feng Chaoming’s eyes. He stared at Mu Chen as if looking at a beautiful, stark-naked woman, a lecherous and expectant smile playing on his lips.

Mu Chen felt a chill shoot up from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. His hairs stood on end, and he was covered in goosebumps. He took an awkward step back and asked cautiously, "Wh-what are you trying to do? I’ll have you know, I like women!"

Feng Chaoming broke out in a sweat at his words and cursed, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Am I that kind of person?! I meant, since you want to get active, why not have a battle with me!"

At this point, Feng Chaoming’s expression suddenly turned arrogant. A surge of battle intent erupted from his body, his aura incomparably fierce.

"Of course, I’ll suppress my Martial Artist Realm to the same level as yours. Do you dare?"

"Dare?"

"?"

A single sentence, yet it split into countless echoes, reverberating outside the silent Holy Beast Mountain, lingering long without fading.

Seeing that Mu Chen seemed stunned by his words, Feng Chaoming’s expression changed again—not to arrogance this time, but to one of playful mockery. He crooked a finger at Mu Chen and chuckled darkly. "If you feel that me fighting you at the same level is bullying, I can consider lowering my Martial Artist Realm even more. How about it? Or... are you still too afraid to accept?"

At this, Mu Chen finally reacted. With a light tap of his toes, he shot back several dozen meters, then bellowed, "What’s there to be afraid of! As Martial Artists, we never shrink from a battle!"

As his voice fell, a battle intent no weaker than Feng Chaoming’s erupted from Mu Chen, so potent it was almost tangible!

Feng Chaoming was overjoyed. He let out a hearty laugh and roared, "Excellent! ’What’s there to be afraid of!’ ’Never shrink from a battle!’ If you want to fight, then let’s fight! Hah!"

Primordial Power surged and exploded forth. The two were on the brink of battle!!
