A strange power swirled around Bai Mo, and two bizarre forces continuously emerged from his side, even transforming into a wisp of black smoke that drifted into the sky, creating an extremely eerie scene.

First, the surrounding vegetation had all mysteriously shed their bark, revealing pale branches, and the emerald green leaves had instantly turned into desolate fallen leaves, devoid of any vitality.

Everything around had become extremely desolate. It was the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, but at this moment it was unusually bleak and lifeless. Just one glance from afar was enough to bring tears to one's eyes.

And what about people who are already in a bad mood...?

"Ugh, this feels so awful! What's wrong with me? Why is even breathing so difficult? Rather than continue like this, let me get this thing checked out to see what's wrong with it!"

A soldier who had just returned from the battlefield was wailing as he pulled out a knife to rip out his heart, but fortunately, his comrades stopped him from committing suicide.

The people around him tackled him to the ground, trying their best to take the knife from his hand.

"Don't do anything rash. What about your family?"

"They're all dead, what's the point of my life? Let me die!"

"Damn it, trying to freeload off the army? If you want to die, fight to the death on the battlefield, you bastard!"

A man who happened to glance at the pale woods, who was already depressed, was affected by the power of pain. His emotions exploded, and he immediately attempted suicide. Fortunately, he was stopped by someone, which is truly a relief.

Besides this power of pain, there is also a power of madness affecting these beings.

Inside a tree hollow, two squirrels huddled together, braving the cold winter. These adorable creatures, curled up in a ball, have such fluffy tails that you can't help but want to rub them.

Just then, the two squirrels woke up simultaneously, their eyes flashing red. Then, these two creatures, which feed on seeds, fruits, and buds, bared their sharp incisors and began to bite at each other without hesitation.

"Grumble--!"

Fur was torn, blood and flesh splattered, bones snapped under sharp teeth, and hot blood splattered all over the small tree hole, warming the cold winter.

These were only a portion of the power emanating from Bai Mo's body. He was like a burning, damp piece of wood, billowing smoke rising from his body, with large beads of sweat constantly falling, but his expression remained unchanged throughout.

Bai Mo felt as if he had been pulled out of icy water, only to be thrown into a vat of boiling oil the next turn. Because the powers of the Kebao and the Giant Shark were extremely pure and seemed to possess their own thoughts, the two forces were like mortal enemies, locked in fierce combat.

Pain manifests as a withered black panther, while madness becomes a ferocious, Giant Shark; these two forces combine to form the will of the strong, constantly battling each other.

Even without the Magnetic Field Power, this terrifying power still caused Bai Mo, who was maintaining the Electric Current Push state, to bleed profusely, and his body was covered with cuts similar to those of Great Saber.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Mo slowly opened his eyes. His face was pale, and he looked like a corpse that had been frozen in a freezer for three months.

The black panther and the Giant Shark lunged at each other once more, Bai Mo slowly raised his hand and restrained the two behemoths.

"However, emotions and mental states can cause suffering that makes life worse than death, but in the end, it does nothing to change the situation, and may even be a waste of time and effort."

Driven by madness and acting recklessly, driven solely by personal desires, they are no different from an infant crying for milk.

To get on the right path, first, calm yourself down.

A ripple-like power emerged, landing on the two giant beasts, and vanished instantly as if blown by the wind.

Bai Mo felt the Magnetic Field Power, like transparent water flowing under the sunlight, seemingly possessing a life force as it flowed between his fingers.

"It worked?"

"It should be... it's a little different from what I expected, more like a calming... feeling? It'd be better to test it out."

Bai Mo replied to Bai Wunan, who waved his hand, and a beam of light instantly absorbed the water-like power in Bai Mo's hand. Bai Wunan then said:

"Just try it out and you'll know. But it doesn't look like an offensive technique. You're really amazing, kid. In your Final Realm, you comprehended the Ryougi Lataib, which is used to assist in combat and break through limits."

And this time is no different; it's still unsuitable for combat, as if you're destined to be incompatible with killing-related powers.

Bai Mo shook his head helplessly and chuckled awkwardly, "At least I'm quite satisfied with this. Maybe you're right, I'm destined to be unrelated to killing. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

But on the other side, Bai Wunan shook his head slightly, looking at the power in his hand with great interest, and said:

"Disappointed? You're overthinking it. Throughout the history of magnetic fields, there has never been a shortage of destructive forces, but in the end, what happened? Apart from nearly driving humanity to extinction a few times, nothing came of it."

People like you are extremely rare, perhaps...

Bai Wunan recalled Shi Tianwu's words from that time. Perhaps the other possibility he was hoping for was this kind of power.

Many powerful individuals were interested, after all, to some extent, this was a product combining the power of the Magnetic Field World and the power of the present world, and no one knew what might happen.

With a slight movement of his fingers, a power like flowing water flowed into the hands of some people.

First, there was the Tiandao. Immersed in martial arts, the Tiandao was clearly quite interested in this power that had unexpectedly emerged five thousand years later, directly allowing the power of the water to enter its body, but...

"It seems... nothing has changed."

The Tiandao completely relaxed its defenses, but it remained unaffected, as if it were just an ordinary stream of water.

"No, it does have some effect."

On the other side, the War God Ke Bao immediately realized the problem. He drew out the frenzied power that the Giant Shark had unleashed earlier, and then clearly felt that the frenzied power was like a flame encountering water, instantly extinguished.

The same effect is achieved by drawing out some of the power of pain.

"Hey, at least this time, Bai Mo got what he wanted. He really doesn't need to worry about encountering similar pain and madness anymore. If he were to encounter a powerful figure like Nadu who uses this as his main method, he might be caught completely off guard."

On the grassland, Tiandao asked with some puzzlement:

"It can't be that its only use, can it? If it possessed unparalleled power, this could be considered a way to compensate for its shortcomings, but right now we don't have enough of them, this thing..."

"Hey, not only that, it seems you've been living a leisurely life for too long. At least I can feel it, and I'm afraid my sworn brother feels it the most."

As Bai Cinan was speaking, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the distant maple forest, shooting straight into the sky. Accompanying it was a roar.

"Kouya--!"

Tiandao Dao looked at the darkness with a hint of disgust and spoke:

What's wrong with that thing?

"Hehe, this kid really has a problem with his sworn brother. Master, the power created five thousand years later can indeed directly affect the emotions, and even the feelings, of the strong."

Bai Mo Mo's power, however, is a sense of tranquility, a power that soothes intense emotions—love, dominance, desire, pain...

My sworn brother just now probably fully embraced this power, and then...

Bai Cinan looked at the distant maple forest with a mocking expression. He had completely let go of his resistance, and perhaps at that moment, the intense love in Darkness's heart was slightly affected.

Even if it disappears quickly, it is still unacceptable to the darkness.

"Is that so? Heh, that's quite interesting." Tiandao smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and a hint of pleasure appeared in his narrowed eyes.

The Cinan waved his hand, dispelling the power that erupted from the darkness, and then couldn't help but turn back to look at the Tiandao.

His master readily accepted the offer, yet remained completely unaffected.

If it were my younger, more impetuous self, I probably would have long ago dismissed it with disdain, scoffing at the power that could turn a person into a little goldfish.

Recalling his evaluation of his master, Little Goldfish, and considering this strange power, Bai Cinan inexplicably felt that Bai Mo's naming might not be entirely accurate.
