Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist - Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Chapter 149 Innate vs. Innate! Spiritual Energy Vortex!_1

Su Changkong’s mind was filled with extreme anger and a desire to kill, as Chikhatu, an Innate Martial Artist, had shown up in violation of the rules in the midst of battle, aiming to kill him.

He could neither provoke nor avoid Chikhatu, but seeing those soldiers block Chikhatu fearlessly, risking their lives so he could escape, that triggered Su Changkong to completely erupt.

Originally, these Dafeng Iron Cavalry soldiers were nothing to him, strangers with whom he had no connection. Their life or death mattered not, yet they indeed were blocking Chikhatu like moths to a flame, all to create an opportunity for him to escape. Under such circumstances, even if Su Changkong escaped, he would find it difficult to come to terms with it in his heart!

Thus, the anger and murderous intent in Su Changkong’s mind overwhelmed his reason! He was determined to fight with everything he had to make Chikhatu pay!

When his Guiding Technique cultivation reached the seventh level, Su Changkong was able to sense the existence of nature’s spiritual energy, but that was all – just sensing. However, once it reached the eighth level, he could actively attract nature’s spiritual energy.

This meant that Su Changkong could forcibly absorb nature’s spiritual energy like Hong Zhenxiang had done, temporarily stepping into the Innate Realm!

Su Changkong had never even considered doing such a thing; the cost was too great!

Hong Zhenxiang ended up with his meridians shattered because of that, became disabled, and ultimately took a risky move by merging with a Demon Monster’s Crystal Core, ceasing to be human from then on.

Naturally, Su Changkong did not wish to end up like Hong Zhenxiang, but the current situation led Su Changkong to make a decision – even at the risk of becoming handicapped, he must slaughter Chikhatu!

“Boom!”

A massive amount of Spiritual Energy formed a vortex above Su Changkong’s head. Even though Spiritual Energy was invisible to the naked eye, one could see the rotating vortex above Su Changkong’s head and a budding flower that gradually turned into a cyan lotus, emitting a refreshing fragrance that soothed the heart and calmed the mind.

This was the most basic of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Flowers, the Human Flower, representing one of the Three Secrets of the Human Body: Essence.

“An Innate Martial Artist… another Innate Martial Artist?”

From afar, some people saw the distorted air in the distance and the blooming Human Flower, and they were all somewhat stupefied.

Weren’t Innate Martial Artists forbidden to intervene in the blood battle? Yet on the field of Sunset Plains, two powerful beings who seemed like Innate Martial Artists had appeared!

“It’s Chikhatu and Hong Zhenxiang!”

And some high-ranking members of the Black Wolf Army had a chilling realization, recognizing that one of the two suspected Innate Martial Artists was Chikhatu, a master who had recently joined the Black Wolf Army, and the other was most likely the roaming Hong Zhenxiang!

Are both of them Innate Martial Artists?

“Su Tailai… he forcibly absorbed nature’s spiritual energy? Like Zhenxiang did! How did he achieve that?”

Atop the fortification walls of Sunset Fortress, Pei Yang saw the cyan flower and the massive accumulation of Spiritual Energy above Su Changkong’s head, distorting space into a vortex. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes in alarm.

Pei Yang had personally witnessed the battle between Su Changkong, Hong Zhenxiang, and two Monster Men. To defeat Hong Yin, Zhenxiang forcibly drew nature’s spiritual energy into his body, bursting forth with Innate-level combat power and utterly crushed Hong Yin into a pulp with an absolutely overwhelming force.

But at an incredibly painful cost.

Zhenxiang was able to do this because he had consumed Alien Beast meat when he was younger, and had an extraordinary talent, thus he could feel and absorb nature’s spiritual energy. Other Qi-Blood Realm Martial Artists couldn’t even sense the spiritual energy of nature.

If Su Changkong could do this, had he also consumed Alien Beast meat?

“You must win! With an Innate Martial Artist appearing among the Ferocious Wolf Clan, there must be a huge conspiracy!” Even though he did not know how Su Changkong had managed it, Pei Yang was aware of this much – Chikhatu, as an Innate Martial Artist appearing at this time to kill ‘Hong Zhenxiang,’ must have a massive plot in mind; only the current Su Changkong had the power to stop him!

“Powerful… is this what an Innate Martial Artist feels like? Such overwhelming strength!”

As a vast amount of Spiritual Energy filled his body, flowing through Su Changkong’s tendons and muscles, with the Human Flower in full bloom above his head, all he felt compared to before was unprecedented strength.

An Innate Martial Artist who had reached the level of refining Spiritual Energy was indeed far beyond the comparison of any Qi-Blood Realm Martial Artist. Just as Su Changkong had previously been invincible with his Blade Force, against Chikhatu, an Innate Martial Artist, it could be broken by sheer force – not that his Blade Force wasn’t strong enough, but because Su Changkong himself was not strong enough.

Yet now, Su Changkong stood on the same level as Chikhatu.

Beyond feeling powerful, Su Changkong also felt an unbearable pressure, like a fragile balloon overfilled with water, ready to burst at any moment. He knew this was because the Spiritual Energy he had absorbed had not been refined through the Heavenly Pulse, and the burden on his body was too great. In this state, he definitely could not endure for long, and there was a great possibility of ending up gravely injured or disabled, just like Hong Zhenxiang.

But having made his choice, Su Changkong did not care about the consequences. The only thing he needed to do now was to slay Chikhatu!

“Stand back, all of you!”

Su Changkong’s voice was not loud, but it overpowered all other noise. The distant Dafeng Iron Riders, who were blocking and closing in on Chikhatu, could not help but halt and look towards Su Changkong, with shock in their hearts.

At this moment, Su Changkong, clad in Star-patterned golden armor and wielding the Monster Wailing Blade, seemed to blend with heaven and earth, towering like a mountain, standing upright like a Heavenly God, exuding a domineering presence that looked down upon all!

“Huh? Innate? No, that’s not right… He is forcibly attracting nature’s spiritual energy into his body, temporarily stepping into the Innate level!”

Even Chikhatu couldn’t help but be shocked as he looked at the distant Su Changkong, with his cyan Human Flower and the vortex of Spiritual Energy gathering around him. He, being an Innate Martial Artist, instantly saw through Su Changkong’s current state: he had used some unknown means to temporarily step into the Innate level!
