Origin God Power?

Origin God Power?

After returning to the inn, Mu Chen shut the doors and windows before taking the Spirit Gathering Mat out of his Cosmos Bag. It was time to experiment.

He had spent ten thousand Pure Origin Pills to buy it. Thinking of that bargain-basement price, Mu Chen could not help but smile. It truly could not have been any cheaper.

Of course, that was in a shop. If it had been at an auction, with bidding and price increases, it definitely would have sold for far more than ten thousand Pure Origin Pills.

"Little Marten, do you know what material the Spirit Gathering Mat is made of?" Mu Chen asked, looking at the little black mouse beside him.

"The material is decent enough, but the formation inside is rather precious." Little Marten examined it for a while before reaching that conclusion.

Compared to the complex formation within it, its ability to nourish the spirit seemed far less important.

Since it was a mat, it could naturally be sat on. Mu Chen plopped down on it.

Almost instantly, Mu Chen felt threads of cool energy emerge from the ancient yellow mat and enter his body. His soul felt as though it had been immersed in icy water, and with a swish, he was refreshed and alert.

Other than that, there was no other sensation. No wonder the other Symbol Masters had not bought this mat. With only that effect, it truly was not a necessity.

"Not bad. It's nice and cool. It could be useful when the weather gets hot," Mu Chen said, describing how it felt.

Little Marten was completely bewildered. Ten thousand Pure Origin Pills had bought this thing?

Looking again at the complex and obscure runes on it, it did not seem like anything simple no matter how he looked at it. Yet its effect was so ordinary.

He should not have misjudged it. The method must have been wrong, which was why there had been no reaction.

"Let me study it. It definitely isn't that simple." Could Marten Lord's instincts really be wrong?

"You stay here and look into it. Tuntun and I are going downstairs to eat."

Little Marten was a demon spirit, so he only needed to consume demon spirits or Beast Soul Crystals. Only after obtaining a body would he be able to enjoy the taste of fine food.

Mu Chen knew how to use it, but seeing how focused Little Marten was, he thought it over and decided not to disturb him.

Little Marten waved them away, signaling for them to go downstairs. There was nothing for them to do here.

The next day, Little Marten woke Mu Chen in a state of excitement and exhilaration, laughing wildly. "Marten Lord has cracked it! Hahaha! How could Marten Lord have misjudged it?"

"Mu Chen, hurry and try it. Pour Source Qi and Soul Power into it in a one-to-one ratio. Keep the two in balance," Little Marten urged.

Mu Chen rubbed his eyes and took the mat, thinking to himself, Little Marten really has some skill. He actually spotted the key in a single night.

Keeping Soul Power and Source Qi balanced was no small challenge for Mu Chen either.

The first attempt failed.

The second attempt failed.

The moment the balance was not maintained, it would fail. He needed to find that point of balance through repeated attempts, or he could only keep failing again and again.

The amount of power Mu Chen poured in each time was not much. If he poured in all of it at once, he would be drained dry after only a few attempts.

Not only did the quantities need to be balanced, but they also had to be poured in at the exact same moment. Otherwise, it would still be impossible to succeed.

Pfft!

On the thirty-third attempt, it did not fail. The light on the mat grew increasingly dazzling, radiating an eerie fluctuation that made Mu Chen's scalp tingle. At last, a chaos-colored bead of energy the size of a soybean appeared at the center of the mat, extraordinarily strange.

Tuntun opened its eyes. This was also its first time seeing such bizarre energy. It had never expected Source Qi and soul energy to be fused by a formation.

"It worked." Little Marten was even more excited than Mu Chen. It seemed he had guessed correctly after all.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm the one who succeeded. Why are you acting like you did?" Mu Chen complained.

Concentrating on controlling the balance between Source Qi and soul energy was quite mentally taxing, so Mu Chen was somewhat exhausted now.

"Yes, yes, yes. Hurry and take a look at this power. The fusion of Source Qi and soul energy—what a miraculous formation," Little Marten exclaimed.

The mat was merely a vessel. The formation within it was the true core. It was an incomparably complex formation; among all the formations Little Marten had seen, none had been more intricate than this one.

The vast majority of people could not fuse these two powers, but this mysterious formation could. The energy produced through this fusion was even stronger—one plus one was greater than two.

"Once you comprehend this formation, perhaps you'll be able to fuse the two powers within your body on your own. And this might not even be the limit. If three types of energy can be balanced and fused, the power will become even greater." Little Marten's tone was full of awe. Whoever had created this formation had definitely been a supreme expert.

Mu Chen held the chaos-colored energy and quietly sensed it. It was extremely powerful, far stronger than either Source Qi or Soul Power alone.

Since this power had fused with Soul Power, it should be able to injure an enemy's soul.

The Universe Ancient Formation truly was powerful. It had not disappointed him. If he had an endless supply of this power, he could easily fight opponents above his level.

"Since it's the fusion of Source Qi and Soul Power, how about calling it Origin God Power?" Mu Chen said with interest.

There were other possible names, such as God Origin Power or Origin Soul Power. It was only a name, after all, but Mu Chen ultimately chose Origin God Power as the name of this fused energy.

Origin God Power, activate.

He dispersed the Origin God Power. This fused energy was entirely under his control, with no rejection whatsoever.

For now, he could not continuously fuse Origin God Power at every moment. Though powerful, it was also highly draining. Fortunately, his Source Qi cultivation and soul realm were advancing side by side, making it perfectly suited for him to use.

To fuse Origin God Power, he had to maintain balance. If either his Source Qi cultivation or soul realm lagged too far behind the other, fusion would become extremely difficult.

Once his cultivation grew stronger and his comprehension deepened, Origin God Power could become a means of combat output.

"Hahaha, ten thousand Pure Origin Pills! If that shop owner knew what the Spirit Gathering Mat could do, he would probably regret it to death. Forget picking it up for ten thousand Pure Origin Pills—even if its effects were revealed, several million Pure Origin Pills might not be enough to secure this mat. The bidding could be driven up to an astronomical figure," Little Marten said.

"Even if you hadn't obtained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol this time, Mu Chen, you still wouldn't have lost out. The value of this mat... is immeasurable."

Mu Chen nodded with a smile. Being able to buy the Universe Ancient Formation for ten thousand Pure Origin Pills was an incomparably profitable deal. Fortunately, those people had not recognized its value. Otherwise, obtaining such a treasure would not have been easy.

It would be tempting even to experts of the Life and Death Profound Realm. Fusion Power was stronger than a single type of power and could absolutely be used as a trump card.
