As soon as he used that ability, an immense suction force appeared from the roots and the branches of the entire forest. In an instant, the entire pond was dried to nothingness.

Even Fu Chen was shocked. He did expect it to be powerful but not this much. This suddenly gave him the idea of a strange ability or rather a sage art that he could use in the battle.

At this moment, he noticed the strange vein on the bottom. He finally released his Infinite Eyes. He knew this strange vein was the Origin Pond. His eyes released the purple light that shot at the vein.

The ground beneath him trembled as the vein started rising up until it rose to the opposite of Fu Chen. Suddenly, his eyes released a purple vortex. Upon the appearance of this vortex, the vein moved toward him.

Fu Chen didn’t sense any suction force from the vortex but it managed to suck the entire vein inside so he didn’t think too much about it.

He noticed the veins slowly moving inside his meridians to his dantian. The vein was no longer vein at this moment. It seemed to be refined by the vortex and now it was more like a stream of energy.

When it reached his dantian, it regained the form of the spiritual vein. He found the water or rather the spiritual liquid absorbed by the forest moving inside his body. He didn’t absorb it. It was done in the spiritual vein.

But, it was good news for him. Now, he has an immense amount of energy inside his body. He quickly activated his martial soul and started refining the spiritual energy into true essence.

After all, he was in the True Essence Realm and he obviously wanted to use True Energy in the battle. After finishing up everything, he used his Infinite Eyes once more but got shocked when he realized that he can’t use Teleportation.

A serious expression appeared on his face. He gathered a lot of true essence into his foot and kicked it to the ground.

[Dragon Steps]

With a single leap, he managed to cross several meters. But before he could fall to the ground,  he kicked the air so hard that he managed to keep moving on the air._.

The final version of the Dragon Steps, kicking the air to fly. As his strength grew, practicing some low-level martial arts weren’t big deal especially now that his comprehension has also grown a lot.

When he came out of the hole that he made, he saw Su Ling, Wu Kong, and Chu Yan resting on the ground. Their bodies were covered with blood but none of them were dead.

And, Chu Yan especially was in a special state. When Fu Chen moved closer, he noticed similar energy coming out of Chu Yan. Then he noticed the gloomy aura covering Chu Yan.

His eyes narrowed. He saw the intention of the gloomy aura. At this moment, inside Chu Yan’s consciousness, a viscous battle was going on.

“Hahaha! Boy, you are already near death. Just give this body to me. Your bloodline would be perfect for me.”

There was a purple cloud floating above Chu Yan. It had an old man’s voice. Chu Yan struggled to stand up in front of the clouds. His four legs were shaking constantly. And, with the injuries his body has suffered, it was becoming even harder to stand.

Not being able to stand, he couldn’t even fight back. He was almost hopeless. If it wasn’t for his strong Willpower to resist the soul of the person, his body would’ve been captured a long time ago.

At this moment, suddenly Fu Chen appeared inside him. This surprised not just Chu Yan but also the purple cloud/ soul of the old man.

“Are you the one who has been corroding the Origin Pond?” Fu Chen stared at the man and asked. His purple eyes were constantly releasing the energy that was forming his body.

“Who the hell are you? How can you enter someone’s sea of consciousness?” The voice from the purple cloud got louder.

Fu Chen turned his head at Chu Yan and crouched down. He puts his hand on Chu Yan and a pure soul force flows out of him and entered Chu Yan’s soul.

“Damn it, you are not going to interrupt my rise. I won’t let you do it.” The purple cloud instantly changed into the form of an old man. The old man had a big purple mustache and heavy armor.

It seemed like the old man was a part of an army. But, Fu Chen didn’t care. He looked at the old man and said “I just recently unlocked a new power. Let’s test on you.”

Inside his mind, there were two kinds of force. One was the soul and another was the tree. When combined, it would give him Wood Sage Mode.

But, they can be used individually, especially his soul which was covered with golden and purple stripes. His main body released the Thunder Aura and his soul absorbed it.

The next moment, he used Spiritual Sage Technique and managed to enter Sage Mode. But, this wasn’t the Wood Sage Mode. It was a bit weaker but enough to help him create a new attack.

Inside Chu Yan’s consciousness, he raised his hand and the sage thunder rose from his palm, slowly condensing into a chain.

The old man panicked as he quickly released his powers to blast away Fu Chen but before his power could reach Fu Chen, the chain pierced through the power and suddenly shackled him.

At this moment, four more chains appeared. Each chain tied his legs and arms inside his consciousness. With five chains, the old man was completely sealed.

[Soul Sealing Chains]

Unlike normal chains, these chains can’t be broken by sheer force. Only if the old man has the method to crack the Sage powers, he can truly break the chains, or if Chu Yan lets him go.

This is why he used this. He was thinking of creating this kind of method for a long time but he never got the power to do so. After he understood Xue Le’s way of treating her enemies who are close, he thought of doing the same.

Fu Chen suddenly felt a powerful headache and looked at Chu Yan. At this moment, Chu Yan had finally recovered a bit.

“Yan, he is now your prisoner. Since you got his powers, you can use it however you want and you can even absorb his soul power but don’t absorb it at once, or else you will end up absorbing his Willpower as well.”

“This new art is not something I can hold for a long time, so I will leave now. I will wait until the three of you recover then we will leave.”

Before Chu Yan could ask anything, Fu Chen had already disappeared. Fu Chen’s consciousness returned back to his body as he slowly calmed down.

Although he doesn’t have to fear overusing his eyes, it still hurts if he does it. He calmly sat down and opened his status window.

‘Interesting! I didn’t notice the increase in my sword cultivation. Was it because I was too focused on Sage Art? And, then again, I didn’t comprehend the Death Law but rather get the power of Sage.’

‘Well, my body has certainly grown a lot stronger. I believe I can kill the Golden Core peak cultivator with bare hands. If I use my sage powers, I should be able to go toe to toe against Law Condensation Realm cultivator.’

‘But, I truly wonder what kind of power would that be able to show. I only have a theory in my mind, especially with all that energy inside me. I need to practice it otherwise we won’t be able to leave. Someone is already restricting the space.’

Fu Chen closed his eyes and slowly focused on Sage mode. At the same time, he used his martial soul to transform a massive amount of spiritual energy into true essence.

Something deep with brewing in his mind and he was excited to take it out.
