Second Martial Soul, Full Moon Wearing Autumn

Feeling the Demon Seed in his right arm on the verge of exploding, Mu Yuan gritted his teeth and held on.

Electrolux helped him seal away this Origin of Fierce Evil.

But in truth, the power within the Demon Seed would gradually be unsealed as his tolerance increased. It would always match his limit until it reached its own limit and could no longer grow stronger.

Mu Yuan clenched his teeth and revealed as much of his ability to withstand the Demon Seed as possible.

Vajra Power, Heavenly Thunder Power, and Bloodline Power.

Now that the Demon Seed had grown powerful, Mu Yuan no longer fused it with his Bloodline Power. Instead, he began refining his own blood qi anew, expelling the Demon Seed's power and purifying it until it became supremely yang and unyielding.

Such reverse refinement was naturally difficult, but Mu Yuan had Electrolux's help at this moment. Purification Fire burned within his Bloodline Furnace, allowing him to purify his blood qi anew with remarkable ease.

The three layers of supremely yang and unyielding power formed a balance with the Demon Seed's power.

Seeing this, Electrolux sealed the remaining Origin of Fierce Evil, leaving it to be unsealed once Mu Yuan's three layers of yang power grew stronger.

"Phew. I still need to devote part of my strength to suppressing this Demon Seed. That won't do."

This Demon Seed could be considered a secret technique developed by Mu Yuan himself.

A secret technique was meant to strengthen its user, not weaken them.

Even if it could raise the upper limit of his combat power after erupting, he could not sacrifice his normal state for it.

"Elder Electrolux, I'm counting on you!" Mu Yuan said solemnly.

He knew that his true transformation was only just beginning.

Electrolux's expression turned grave.

He took out the purified Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife—now no longer wreathed in a chilling aura. Instead, it brimmed with vitality, emerald green from end to end and radiating vigorous life. It was a genuine Blade of Life.

Elder Electrolux gripped the Blade of Life and stabbed it straight into Mu Yuan's glabella.

In that instant, Mu Yuan felt as though his brain had suffered a devastating blow.

There was no sensation of being pierced. Instead, it felt like he had been struck by a massive hammer.

Within his Spirit Sea, Mental Power churned as cracks appeared one after another. Then, a vortex emerged above the Spirit Sea, rippling with spatial power.

"Open the Second Sea of Consciousness!"

Mu Yuan condensed a Spirit Body within his Spirit Sea and observed the scene, carefully sensing its mysteries.

He could sense spatial power, thanks to his Third Soul Ring. It came from a Long-Armed Ape that had awakened the Golden Bloodline. That Long-Armed Ape also possessed a spatial attribute, granting Mu Yuan the Soul Skill Plucking Stars and Seizing the Moon.

Now, as he sensed the spatial fluctuations produced by the opening of the Second Sea of Consciousness, Mu Yuan gained some insight.

However, his spatial Soul Skill was ultimately different in nature. This was the opening of space within the Mental Domain, not something tangible, and it differed from the spatial attribute Mu Yuan had mastered.

This so-called insight merely gave him a new understanding of how spatial power operated.

"Consume the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew."

Electrolux's voice roused Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan immediately took the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew into his hand and drank every drop of dew from its leaves in one gulp.

The dew entered his mouth and transformed into a cool current that swiftly circulated through Mu Yuan's meridians, gathering directly toward his head.

More precisely, toward his eyes.

Seeing this, Electrolux pressed his right index finger against Mu Yuan's glabella.

The cool power that had just begun circulating through Mu Yuan's eyes started gathering at his glabella.

"Merge!"

Electrolux shouted softly.

The cool current circulated through Mu Yuan's glabella, then flowed through it into the newly opened Second Sea of Consciousness, merging with it.

At the same time, under Electrolux's guidance, the Mental Power in Mu Yuan's Spirit Sea surged into the Second Sea of Consciousness and converged with the cool current.

At this sight, Electrolux nodded slightly.

Yet this alone was far from enough to meet Mu Yuan's needs.

"Second Martial Soul..."

After murmuring those words, Electrolux took a deep breath and began the final step.

The gray sphere that had originally hovered above Mu Yuan's Spirit Sea flew into his Second Sea of Consciousness.

Using it as the foundation, Mu Yuan's Mental Power, the medicinal power of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and the Second Sea of Consciousness opened by the Blade of Life fused together perfectly.

"Originally, my origin would have become your brand-new Martial Soul. Now, I'll give up that position."

Electrolux muttered to himself.

He could sense that, as an outsider, becoming Mu Yuan's Martial Soul was inferior to allowing Mu Yuan's own power to become his Second Martial Soul.

"Condense!"

In the unseen depths, Mu Yuan felt his Soul Power change.

Following his instinct, he extended his right hand.

A slightly illusory, crystal-clear drop of dew appeared in his palm.

The violent Soul Power throughout his body also became ethereal, carrying an air of nobility and mystery.

"My Second Martial Soul has formed!"

A heartfelt smile appeared on Mu Yuan's face.

His Second Martial Soul was called Full Moon Wearing Autumn. Its form was a dew drop from the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, but in essence, it was Mu Yuan's Mental Power.

This Second Martial Soul had been condensed using Mental Power as its template. It gained some of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's unique traits, thus becoming Full Moon Wearing Autumn.

"This could be considered an alternative Body Martial Soul."

Mu Yuan smiled.

Electrolux's somewhat weakened voice rang out in Mu Yuan's mind. "I'll go to sleep first and recover a little."

He had expended a great deal this time. The power he had absorbed earlier in Star Dou Forest had nearly been drained dry.

This time, he did not draw upon the Origin of Life within the Blade of Life again.

He would recover on his own through sleep.

Of course, within the Second Sea of Consciousness opened by the Blade of Life—or rather, transformed from it—he was effectively being nourished within solidified life force at all times.

His rate of natural recovery would not be slow.

As Electrolux fell asleep, Mu Yuan began carefully sensing the changes brought by this transformation.

First was his Spirit Sea.

Not only had he opened a Second Sea of Consciousness, but his original Spirit Sea had expanded by more than five times. His Mental Power surged wildly. The Second Sea of Consciousness hung above the Spirit Sea, releasing wisps of emerald energy that condensed into droplet after droplet above Mu Yuan's Spirit Sea. They were all formed from Mental Power.

His Mental Power was still increasing slowly yet steadily.

Aside from the changes to his Mental Power, Mu Yuan's body had also changed significantly.

Having completely bonded with the Blade of Life, an immense life force entered his body. His ability to bear Soul Rings immediately increased by a thousand years, and this increase was still ongoing. Like the droplets of Mental Power constantly forming within him, it slowly absorbed the lingering life force in his body and rose rapidly.

The only improvement that could be considered small was his Soul Power.

The Blade of Life was filled with life force. It greatly enhanced his physical body and opened his Spirit Sea, thus bringing an enormous boost to his Mental Power, while having comparatively little effect on his Soul Power.

Of course, this so-called little effect was only relative.

Mu Yuan released a wisp of Soul Power from his palm, within which a faint green glow flickered.

"My Soul Power has gained the Life Attribute as well."

With the aid of his Soul Power, Mu Yuan could even perform simple healing!
