Chapter 2386 - 2385: Black Lotus Blooms!
Chapter 2386: Chapter 2385: Black Lotus Blooms!
The night was as dark as ink, Lin Dong stood atop the ancient altar, surrounded by the howling wind and the low murmurs of spells.
In his right eye, there was a peculiar gleam, with two pupils slowly rotating.
The extra pupil was the "Eye of Insight" formed after he refined the ’Yagi Pearl’, capable of seeing through all illusions in the world, directly reaching the essence.
Before him was a massive demon beast—the eight-headed serpent, twisting its body with a hideous face full of ferocity.
Its eight heads simultaneously stuck out their tongues, emitting a chilling roar, as if it wanted to devour the entire heavens and earth.
And in front of it, the spirit of the God Susanoo was battling with it, like a heavenly god.
They had already fought hundreds of rounds without a winner.
Lin Dong knew that the eight-headed serpent before him was no ordinary Demon Emperor but the ancient founder of the Yagi Clan possessing a powerful divine soul.
To defeat it and subdue it was no simple task.
One must find its weakness and strike with precision.
The Eye of Insight slowly rotated, as Lin Dong’s gaze penetrated through the serpent’s layers of scales into its divine soul.
Within, he saw a chaotic scene, but in this chaos, one place stood exceptionally clear—that was the vital spot of the serpent, its divine soul’s weakness.
Lin Dong felt a surge of joy, knowing he had found the opportunity.
He quickly mobilized the divine power within himself, resonating with the divine soul of God Susanoo.
God Susanoo, the legendary deity known for enormous power and unyielding will, at this moment, his divine soul was transformed into Lin Dong’s puppet under his command.
At this time, he was using the ’Soul Fusion Technique’ from the Soul Commanding Technique!
Executing the ’Soul Fusion Technique’ from the Soul Commanding Technique could utilize the power of the divine soul.
Lin Dong, at this moment, drew upon the divine soul power of God Susanoo, letting Susanoo possess him.
He felt Susanoo’s power surging within his body, and he tightly clenched his fists, seeming to be enveloped by an invisible force.
He suddenly stepped forward, his figure instantly vanished from his original location, reappearing at the serpent’s vital spot.
"Susanoo’s Fist!"
Lin Dong shouted, punching forward. This punch gathered all his divine power and will, seemingly tearing the heavens and earth apart.
The eight-headed serpent apparently did not expect Lin Dong to find its weakness so quickly, and its eight heads simultaneously let out angry roars, trying to repel Lin Dong with strong demonic power.
But Lin Dong’s fist was like a torrent breaking through obstacles, directly penetrating the serpent’s divine soul scales, striking at its vital spot.
"Boom!" A huge explosion shook the entire heavens and earth, and the serpent’s body trembled violently, its eyes filled with fear and reluctance.
But Lin Dong did not give it any opportunity, punching again and again at the serpent’s vital spot without cessation.
With each punch, the serpent’s divine soul trembled and weakened continuously.
"Boom!" Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the divine soul of the Serpent Grandfather was struck by Lin Dong’s sword. Its divine soul dispersed instantly, turning into a mass of black mist, emitting a mournful scream.
Its divine soul was almost shattered by Lin Dong.
Lin Dong gave the Serpent Grandfather no reprieve, immediately mobilizing the Chain of Souls to tightly lock those scattered mists.
These were Great Tonic Items to Lin Dong, enhancing his mental power.
At that moment, he quickly activated the Devouring Technique, beginning to crazily devour those mists.
"Hoo-hoo~~~"
Lin Dong, in the ’Fusion’ state with Susanoo, kept devouring those mists, which flowed like tides into Lin Dong’s body.
Subsequently, those mists began transforming into fierce hostility, surging within Lin Dong’s body, seemingly trying to wreck his flesh.
The process was painful and long, but Lin Dong gritted his teeth and persisted.
Within his body, it was as though a fierce battle was raging, the forces of devouring and backlashing constantly clashing and merging.
Each collision brought him unbearable pain, yet he endured through solid will and strong belief, devouring all the mists.
After devouring them into his body, Lin Dong performed the Nine Shift Longevity secret, beginning to transform those mists.
Transforming those mists into purest mental power energy.
Then, channeling them into the Sea of Consciousness.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo~~~"
Under the impetus of the Nine Shift Longevity secret, those mists were transformed into pure green divine soul energy.
Under Lin Dong’s guidance, like a water flow, they merged into the Sea of Consciousness.
Then, they completely surged into Lin Dong’s Sea of Consciousness’s Spirit Force Black Lotus.
The Black Lotus, as if watered, began to grow.
Previously, the Black Lotus had not blossomed.
However, with the watering of divine soul energy, the Spirit Force Black Lotus began slowly blooming.
This condition persisted for several hours.
"Boom~~~"
Suddenly at one moment, the Spirit Force Black Lotus in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly blossomed.
From within the Black Lotus, astonishingly, a golden petal bloomed!
That golden petal was filled with holiness.
"This is the mental power’s breakthrough to the thirty-first stage!" Lin Dong secretly said.
When Lin Dong’s Spirit Force Black Lotus blooms one petal, it indicates his mental power has grown by one stage.
If two petals bloom, it indicates promotion by two stages.
"There’s some divine soul of Yagi Oda remaining, let’s continue refining!"
At this time, the mental power of Lin Dong, though advanced from the thirtieth stage to the thirty-first stage, he did not halt because of this.
He continued refining!
Inside his body, residual divine soul energy still lingered.
At this moment, he was attracting those divine soul energies to continue watering the Black Lotus in the Sea of Consciousness.
Thus, this continued for several more hours.
The Black Lotus only blossomed one-third of the second petal!
Seeing this, Lin Dong helplessly muttered to himself: "Devouring the divine soul of Yagi Clan’s grandfather only got me to break through to the thirty-first stage."
"Mental power increased only a bit over one stage!"
"Is increasing mental power past the thirtieth stage really this tough?"
Lin Dong bitterly smiled.
It was only at this moment that he profoundly realized the difficulty of cultivating mental power.
Even harder than advancing in Martial Arts Realm!
That was the divine soul of the ancestor of Yagi Clan, who was a Ninth Heaven’s Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist during life. A myth. Such figures are rare in Martial Arts History.
Yet, when refined as nourishment, it barely enhanced his mental power by a bit over one stage.
Going forward, how does one continue to enhance mental power?
"Reaching the fortieth stage of mental power is as difficult as reaching the Ninth Heaven’s Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist!" Lin Dong exclaimed.
Mental Power 40th Rank, the Sovereign Witch had never seen it nor heard of it.
Even she didn’t know what abilities the fortieth stage of mental power would hold.
Of course, Lin Dong also didn’t know.
But he speculated that when mental power reaches 40th Rank, relying solely on spiritual power, it probably could dominate an era, calling it a Thousand-Year Myth!
