Martial Soul Awakening: Dual Attributes of Divine and Demonic Slaughter

Mu En nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, you do have powerful Dragon energy within you. It closely resembles the bloodline of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. This energy won't just empower your martial soul—even your body and martial soul will be strengthened by it."

Ji Feng kept his eyes tightly closed and remained motionless, feeling the warm, gentle sensation from the Dragon Core, but he could still hear Mu En's voice.

Suddenly, a beam of pure white light flashed from the Dragon Core.

That white light was even more dazzling than the Dragon Core's radiance, pure and flawless.

There was not the slightest impurity in that sacred white glow. It was like a god descending from heaven, whole and seamless.

Mu En looked astonished, his voice trembling slightly. "Such a pure light attribute... even purer than my radiant sacred Dragon, and extraordinarily domineering. Could this be a Dragon with the Divine Attribute?"

Ji Feng: "..."

"The Dragon God split in two back then, becoming the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King excelled in physical strength, while the Silver Dragon King controlled elemental power. Other Dragons generally command only one elemental attribute. Your attribute is clearly the Divine Attribute, which is stronger than light. I've only ever heard of it appearing in the angel martial soul, but that martial soul has already been lost!"

"And you... actually possess a Dragon martial soul with the Divine Attribute!"

Mu En could not suppress the shock on his face. The emergence of Divine power from Ji Feng had caught him completely off guard.

"The opposite of the Divine Attribute is Demonic Slaughter, an attribute a tier above darkness. It governs judgment and slaughter. Back then, Lord Sea God also held the Asura God's Godhood, which contained this very power. Both of these powers have been lost on the Douluo Continent."

"To think I would see one of them here. Your martial soul is enough to let you attain Godhood. Perhaps you will become the first new god in ten thousand years."

Mu En had never felt the Divine Realm’s Call. He had doubted himself for a long time and exhausted every means of improving his cultivation, yet he had never been able to sense the Divine Realm.

Looking at Ji Feng, he felt he finally understood why.

His light attribute was not pure enough.

Only by reaching the level of the Divine would he have a chance to inherit Godhood.

Mu En already regarded Ji Feng as his disciple, and he shared this secret knowledge with him as well.

With a Divine martial soul, Ji Feng's character could hardly fall into the ranks of darkness and corruption. He was worthy of carrying on Shrek's legacy.

The sacred white radiance around Ji Feng continued to swell. A scorching sensation slowly seeped through his body. Gradually, the soul power vortex at the center of his chest, at Shanzhong, began to contract and expand, growing a little larger with every contraction.

Mu En did not rush Ji Feng. He knew that awakening such a special martial soul could not happen in a single bound. It was a slow process. He restrained his anticipation and waited quietly for the martial soul to appear.

Suddenly, a transformation occurred that shocked Mu En almost to the point of fainting!

The sacred white radiance around Ji Feng abruptly vanished. In an instant, the brilliant light filling the room disappeared. At the same time, even the golden light of the Dragon Core vanished, leaving only the Golden Tree's golden glow.

Before Mu En could examine Ji Feng's body, a mass of blood-and-ink light suddenly appeared before his eyes...

The light vanished, and an endless blood-and-ink darkness swallowed the entire room. The only things visible were Ji Feng's body and the blood-and-ink color seeping from the Dragon Core.

Darkness? No. Mu En had fought Long Xiaoyao for years and had long since become familiar with the feel of darkness.

This aura of slaughter and judgment could only belong to that legendary attribute!

"D-demonic slaughter dragon power? No! That's impossible!"

Just moments ago, that had clearly been Divine Dragon Power, yet now the power of Demonic Slaughter had appeared within him.

Divine and Demonic Slaughter were opposing powers by their very nature. They could never coexist within a single living being!

Their opposition was even fiercer than that of water and fire. They were two attributes that could never blend!

Yet this sight, which overturned everything Mu En knew, had appeared so abruptly before his eyes.

"Impossible... this is impossible! How can divine and demonic slaughter appear in the same person? And he even has a dragon martial soul! This is impossible!"

Mu En's eyes widened, his chest heaving violently.

He crushed the armrest of his recliner in his grip, scattering powder over the floor, utterly unaware of what he had done.

It was not just him. Any of Shrek's senior figures who witnessed this would have gaped in shock.

A martial soul was rooted in the person. Anyone who awakened Divine power would surely be upright and honorable, while anyone who awakened Demonic Slaughter power would be cold, aloof, and slaughter people like cutting hemp. How could such contradictory personalities exist in the same person?

What on earth was happening?

The blood-and-ink radiance enveloped Ji Feng's body, shaking Mu En to his core.

A few seconds later, the intense blood-and-ink radiance around Ji Feng and the Dragon Core quivered, then abruptly weakened.

In the next instant, the earlier divine radiance overwhelmed it!

Light finally appeared in the blood-and-ink space, but that blood-and-ink color still lingered in Mu En's mind.

The returning light did not last long before dimming again, replaced once more by the blood-and-ink radiance.

After struggling for several seconds, the blood-and-ink radiance was once again replaced by divine light.

At once, Ji Feng's body began flickering between light and darkness, alternating continuously. The changes accelerated from once every few seconds to once a second, then several times a second.

The two terrifying radiances spread into the Golden Tree, making the entire tree flicker between light and darkness. As soon as the Holy Light appeared, the blood-and-ink darkness swallowed it. Once the blood-and-ink darkness occupied the trunk, the Holy Light pushed it back again.

The two different elements seemed to be fighting for room to exist, doing everything they could to expel the other!

Ji Feng still had his eyes closed, his expression calm, completely unconcerned by the changes occurring around him and within his own body.

The Holy Light and blood-and-ink darkness rose and faded, their radiance sweeping over Mu En's aged face. He said nothing more, merely watching the changes in Ji Feng and the Dragon Core with a stiff, stupefied stare.

The turmoil in his heart was perhaps the greatest he had ever experienced in his life.

He was even more stirred than when Ye Xishui had declared that she loved him more.

This was an inconceivable transformation, a miracle among miracles!

Mu En forced his emotions under control and watched Ji Feng.

His shock had now subsided entirely, leaving only an urgent desire to see the outcome.

With both Divine Dragon Power and Demonic Slaughter Dragon Power present, would the two cancel each other out? Or would one gain complete dominance?

Or would the most impossible outcome of all occur?

The Golden Tree's cycle of light and darkness continued for several minutes. The place was deathly silent, and Yan Shaozhe, who had gone to fetch food, was nowhere to be found.

At last, the alternating cycle before him finally stopped. Mu En's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

Both Ji Feng's body and the Dragon Core actually displayed the sacred white and blood-and-ink radiances at the same time!

On the left side of Ji Feng's body was a pure, sacred white brilliance that stung Mu En's eyes. On his right was an endless blood-and-ink abyss, more unnerving than Long Xiaoyao's darkness. An aura of slaughter spilled outward, and with a single glance, Mu En nearly plunged into that endless abyss!
