Chapter 196: Advancing to the Energy Shaping Realm

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As Ye Mo returned to the cave, he filed everything away in the back of his mind except for one thing. The thought of the different auras of the armored spirits was still running through his mind.

Those ancient auras came in varying types. Some were attack-based, some were illusion-based, and some directly targeted the opponent’s mental state.

Attacks with auras attached to them were one of the most common moves seen by fighters, and they were different from other techniques.

The strength of the fighters’ techniques meant that a higher level of attack is required in order to defend against it. The strength of an aura, on the other hand, not only required a high level of strength and a higher level of aura to find the weakness in the aura of the opponent.

The Will of the Lascivious Sword of Xiaoyao Meiqi, the Will of the Sky Blood Spear of the Sky Blood Lady, the Will of the Sky Blood Sword of the Skylight Lord, the Will of the Blood Light Blade of the armored spirits. Those different auras and wills flashed in Ye Mo’s mind as he seemingly entered a mystical state.

“What is an aura, and how does one display it?”

Ye Mo asked himself non-stop, with the Will of the Lascivious Sword and the Will of the Sky Blood Spear and other wills flashing up again in his mind.

“It seems discovering one’s own aura is not going to be that easy. Legend has it that the number of fighters who could realize their aura while in the Spirit Cultivating Realm are extremely few.”

Ye Mo’s train of thought changed suddenly. The energy in his body boiled and rushed forward like violent, rippling waves.

The Rising Dragon Pillar had unexpectedly unleashed on its own, as did the five elemental energy cores.

In a subtle manner, the gaseous energy wave in Ye Mo’s Energy Center turned into five different colors – gold, green, azure blue, fiery red, yellow – as they combined together, spinning around wildly.

Beams of energy started to explode on their own!

Roar!

The energy in the skies above Ye Mo and in his surroundings was absorbed into Ye Mo’s body at an astounding speed.

The Giant Dragon Power inside his body awakened once more. The black Giant Dragon of the Rising Dragon Pillar gave off a frightening aura.

“Break free, Rising Dragon Pillar, and rise to the sky!”

Multiple black Giant Dragons started to struggle from the restraints of the Rising Dragon Pillar, directly attacking the colorless gaseous energy wave in Ye Mo’s Energy Center. The initial thick and sticky pile of energy became saturated once more, reaching an extremely critical state.

The gaseous wave of energy inside Ye Mo started to produce vapors, which turned into dew drops, forming together in the Energy Center’s gaseous wave drop by drop. Every drip and drop gathered at the five main entrances, which were further strengthened.

The countless veins and vessels all extended towards the liquefied energy, five colors of energy rushing and gathering at the deep ends of the Energy Center’s energy wave.

Following that, the five energy cores, as if morphing into five planets, rotated at scarily fast speeds. Then, the five energy cores instantaneously exploded, turning into five Five-Colored Ape Monkeys. The Five-Colored Ape Monkeys stood on top of the energy cores.

Ye Mo was extremely surprised. Before he even had time to express his shock, the five mist-like rays of energy turned into liquid states, akin to rippling waves.

“Ye Mo, I advanced to the Energy Shaping Second Realm! Impressive, isn’t it?” Ling Xue walked in suddenly, filled with pride.

“Turns out he is training!” Ling Xue saw Ye Mo sitting cross-legged on the stone bed and did not bother him, instead standing beside him as protection.

All of a sudden, the entire cave started to rumble. Rays of energy surrounded Ye Mo, rising up and down around his body.

“What is going on? Don’t tell me Ye Mo is about to make his breakthrough?” Ling Xue said, surprised.

Ye Mo’s surrounding started to give off a energy that exploded forth in five different colors and revolved around him. The energy beam gathered, turning into the shape of an Ape Monkey. The Ape Monkey let out a few roars, and it was as if the cave was on the verge of collapsing, with cracks already appearing on the ground.

Boom! Boom!

The five beams of energy disappeared, and what followed was another roar, this time the frightening roar of a dragon as a black Giant Dragon circled around Ye Mo’s body, as if it was his protector.

“Energy Shaping, turning into a dragon, what on earth is this technique that Ye Mo is training? This aura is so overwhelmingly strong. Merely advancing to the Energy Shaping Realm is already giving a newly turned Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter like me the shudders.” Ling Xue’s expression started to fill with fear.

“How strong is this Ye Mo exactly, killing a Long Armed Ape Monkey as a Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm fighter? Now that he has advanced to the Energy Shaping Realm, how unbelievably strong will he become?”

After Ling Xue finished her sentence, the circling black Giant Dragon withdrew within Ye Mo. As he opened his eyes forcefully, he let out an energy wave that sent Ling Xue back a few steps.

“Who would’ve thought that my unsuccessful attempt at discovering my aura worked out in the end, allowing me to make the breakthrough to the Energy Shaping Realm?”

A smile appeared on Ye Mo’s face. He felt the five-colored energy inside his Energy Center, that beam of energy akin to a violent wave that would not calm down, constantly running – it was more than twice as strong as before.

Advancing to the Energy Shaping Realm was a leap in strength. The Giant Dragon Powers inside him did the same, awakening to another level completely.

From 110 rays of Giant Dragon Energy to 300! It could be said that Ye Mo’s energy levels had increased rapidly multiple times over. Every one of Ye Mo’s gates could sustain the powers of 60 rays of Giant Dragon Power.

Ye Mo did a mental calculation. Based on his current strength of being able to sustain 60 rays of Giant Dragon Power at every entry point, his strength level was incomparably stronger than before.

The Ye Mo now had explosive Giant Dragon Powers. Without using any weapons, he still had the ability to blow away an Energy Shaping Third Realm fighter. Even if he was met with an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, he was still confident that he would emerge victorious.

Opening one of his palms, a black Dragon Energy Spear appeared in his hand. This Dragon Spear was 21 feet long, manifested by the Giant Dragon Powers, with the ability to release a frightening amount of the Giant Dragon aura at any time.

This was what Energy Shaping was about. Ye Mo shaped it into a long spear.

Without having to test it, Ye Mo could already feel the power of the Dragon Spear.

“Having successfully advanced to the Energy Shaping Realm, even an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter won’t stand a chance against me. Even if I’m sent to the Legal Division, what can they do to me?”

A 16-year-old fighter with the powers of an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter. This level of God-given talent was nothing short of frightening.

It was important to understand that the gap between an Energy Shaping Third Realm and Fourth Realm fighter was a huge one that was extremely difficult to bridge.

As the Dragon Spear disappeared, Ye Mo recalled something. The five energy cores had seemingly experienced some significant changes. The five-colored energy core turned into five Ape Monkeys. Those monkeys did not move a muscle, standing on top of the five cores, their positions and appearances identical to each other.

“What exactly are they?” Ye Mo could not figure out a satisfactory explanation. How were those five techniques linked with the monkeys? Were those techniques taught by the monkeys?

“Perhaps it has something to do with the Four Spiritual Monkeys, but that means there is one extra monkey. Weird!” Ling’er also had a confused expression on her face.

“Regardless of whatever those monkeys are, let’s allow nature to take its course. When the time is right, it shall reveal itself.”

Ye Mo did not want to spend too much time contemplating the five techniques, knowing that it did not affect his training level. The problem was that his technique was slightly weak. If he did not use his Giant Dragon Powers, he would only be able to barely defeat an Energy Shaping Second Realm fighter using the techniques alone.

However, the moment the Giant Dragon Power is used, Ye Mo will become an extremely frightening fighter. Even if he was to match up with the Long Armed Ape Monkey King again, so long as he had his Sky Blood Spear, it would not be a problem for Ye Mo to kill it.
