The purple light came out of his eyes and moved toward that purple gas. Unfortunately, it simply passed through it. The purple light moved toward the deepest part of the earth while the purple gas covered Fu Chen.

“Chen!”

Chu Yan and Wu Kong roared from the side when they saw his skin slowly corroding inside that purple gas. They were almost going toward him but Su Ling stopped them.

“You? Are you trying to betray us at this moment?” Chi Yan’s eyes turned red. Fu Chen made a mistake. He didn’t care. Because everyone makes a mistake. And, he has already seen that evil will inside Fu Chen to gain more strength.

That’s why he knew Fu Chen was on the verge of breaking into evil. He wasn’t going to let him. He will stop him and he will do anything to correct his brother’s mistake.

That’s what brother means to him.

But, the next moment, he was stunned.  Su Ling’s eyes were a bit red as if she was crying.

“Don’t move! That gas is the Death Law itself. If you go, you will get consumed by it as well. You will die.”

Chu Yan calmed down hearing that. He shook his head and said “It seems like you don’t understand our relationship. We are life and death brothers. I am not going to watch him die in front of him.”

Saying so, Chu Yan moved to the side and rushed toward Fu Chen but suddenly, a water prison appeared around him. It imprisoned Chu Yan.

Roar_.

“Let me out!”

Su Ling shook her head and spoke “I know you won’t watch him die. So, believe in him. If you just go barging in, you might die. There is no way you can save him no matter what you do.”

“Only he can save himself. That Death Law! He must comprehend it within the nick of time. Do you really think he wants to you risk your life for him where he has a chance to survive but you don’t?”

Chu Yan clenched his paw. Unlike humans, monsters have an inherent talent for elements and laws but it doesn’t mean they have the talent to comprehend them. They just have it inside them.

That’s why monsters have an advantage in lower stages while humans have an advantage in higher stages. Knowing this frustrates him even more.

Bang!

Suddenly, a massive rod smashed dozens of shadows and distracted both of them.

Wu Kong put the rod on his shoulder and spoke.

“Yan, let’s trust our brother. He isn’t someone who will die that easily. Right now, our job is to clean these shadows.”

Hearing his words, Su Ling slowly let down Chu Yan and opened the Water Prison. Chu Yan slowly raised his head as his eyes fell on those shadows. A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he massively released his true essence.

On other hand, Su Ling released a deep breath and looked at the poison gas.

‘Don’t die, Chen! We haven’t even started our relationship. I haven’t even accepted your confession yet.’

At this moment, she didn’t realize but she just saved Fu Chen’s life.

Inside the poison mist, Fu Chen’s body was almost on the verge of dying. His skin was completely turning purple and the poison had already entered deep inside his blood.

But, at the same time, powerful energy burst out of him. Inside his dantian, his martial spirit opened its mouth and a large amount of energy entered it.

As it slowly leaked a lot of true essences, his dantian was getting flooded by it. Slowly, the size of the donation itself improved, and the true essence flooded out of his dantian.

It moved throughout his blood, slowly washing out the poison. At the same time, his consciousness slowly started returning. Due to the poison, his conscious mind was corroded but now that the poison was gone for a moment,  his mind became clear.

His eyes were still releasing the purple lights. And, he didn’t stop it. Instead, he roared.

“Martial Spirit- Come out!”

“Devour!”

The blue dragon slowly opened its eyes and the white light glinted on those eyes. The blue dragon slowly released its phantom from the dantian and covered his body.

Slowly, the phantom solidified into the dragon scales. At this moment, Fu Chen’s face which was covered with dragon scales opened his mouth and the poison gas simply got devoured him.

It did corrode his mouth and throat, and even inner organs but before it could do much damage, it got devoured inside his dantian.

At this moment, Ysla’s voice rang into his mind.

“Host, use all of the skill points on Tyrant Wood Dragon Technique.”

Although Fu Chen wanted to do that, he was barely able to stay calm. Inside his dantian, the poison was simply corroding his marital spirit.

“Ysla, use all skill points on Tyrant Wood Dragon Technique!”

Fu Chen gritted his teeth and with every bit of willpower he had, he finally gave a command. The next moment, an insane transformation occurred. New energy came out of his body and started transforming his skin into the scale itself.

Yes, this time it didn’t cover him with an extra layer of dragon scales but rather changed his skin itself. His blood was pumping strongly. The aura released out of him was so powerful that when it appeared, Su Ling and others started shaking fiercely.

Of course, that wasn’t the end. After all, the main problem was still within his dantian. But, at this moment, a small bud appeared inside his dantian. This bud was so small that it could easily be ignored.

But, it wasn’t simple. When it appeared, the poison that was spreading everything within his dantian started moving toward it. The bud was actually absorbing the poison and not just absorbing it, it was also improving.

The bud was slowly growing into a meter-tall tree. The process wasn’t slow at all. And, the most surprising part was still there to come.

When the bud appeared, his soul suddenly escaped from his consciousness. It went to his dantian and floated around the bud. It was assuming the shape of Fu Chen himself but its behavior was quite weird.

The soul seemed to have a different kind of intelligence. It observed the bud until it was slowly transforming into a tree. Suddenly, it giggled and moved above the tree.

Slowly, the soul body became larger until it was big enough to cover the tree. It moved its hand around the tree and a strange seal appeared on its forehead.

“Absorb!”

This word Fu Chen heard. Even he was confused by this. The golden stripes around it were slowly glowing even more. The power of the tree was slowly getting absorbed into the soul.

At the same time, new information got revealed in his mind. The purple mist had already disappeared but he still hadn’t absorbed the Origin Pond. When his soul finished absorbing the strange power from the tree, it created a link between this tree and the soul.

And, this link was represented by the marking that appeared on Fu Chen’s face. It was (X). It was like a black stripe. And the four tips of the (X) were attached by two stripes but only on the sides.

So, it looked quite strange. But, that wasn’t important. The important part was the information he received in his mind. He didn’t expect improving his Tyrant Wood Dragon Technique would have such an effect.

At this moment, he had successfully reached the third stage. His heart had now gained the storage where he can store the energy released by the tree. This energy can heal him instantly.

Not only that, but he had also comprehended the Law of Strength. Though his comprehension was still very small, it was still astonishing. These things were naturally amazing but nothing compared to a new set of power that he has gained.

Fu Chen held his hands together and the next moment, he raised his right hand. Suddenly, the wood appeared on his palm.

“Wood Sage Art- Wood Dragon Drill”

The wood coming out of his palm transformed into the shape of the dragon and started spinning at a great speed. With the drill, Fu Chen made his way to the underground.

After a few minutes, he finally dug until he managed to reach the bottom where he saw the purple light. It was still there but it wasn’t moving at all. Beneath the purple light, he saw a giant pond itself.

The pond had blue water and it was so big that he couldn’t even see the end. But, that wasn’t surprising. This was supposed to give him an unlimited amount of Spiritual Energy.

He was hanging with his wood attached to the ceiling. He looked at the pond and thought.

‘Now that I have this new power, maybe I can use it to absorb this entire pond but first, let’s try with Infinite Eyes.’

Thinking so, he activated his Infinite Eyes unfortunately, it did nothing. The purple light wanted to go inside the pond but it couldn’t go there.

‘Since it’s like this, let’s try something else.’

“Wood Sage Art- Deep Forest Emergence”

Slowly, his body released small buds and those buds grow giant trees that stretched to the pond. When almost the entire pond was covered with these trees, Fu Chen roared.

“Absorb!”
