Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

Chapter 379: Chapter 371: Reverse Decomposition

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

As the five Primordial Energy Vortexes drew closer, the five crimson-and-blue vortexes began to merge on their own. The five of them frowned in unison. Judging by their expressions, their combined Ice and Fire Burst was by no means as simple as it looked. They had likely practiced this technique countless times in private to be able to unleash it so freely in actual combat.

Everyone could clearly see the Primordial Energy Vortexes merging. It was a clockwise rotation, like a spiral whirlpool appearing before the five of them, drawing their vortexes into it. At the center of the whirlpool, they finally condensed into a perfectly round, red-and-blue sphere of light.

Terrifying shockwaves of Primordial Power pulsed out from the sphere in continuous rings. Each ripple distorted the surrounding space, as if to display its horrific destructive power to all.

"This is bad. No matter how strong Mu Chen is, I doubt he can withstand this attack."

Shan Qiuhen sounded extremely worried, but his eyes were filled with excitement. In his view, as long as Mu Chen lost this match, he would be able to obtain an Ancient Secret Technique from Dilaka. An Ancient Secret Technique! If a person could obtain just one in their lifetime, they could roam the world, fearless for ten thousand miles. That was no exaggeration!

"..."

Even Dilaka’s expression grew a little grim, despite how much he believed in Mu Chen. However, when he saw that Mu Chen’s own expression was only slightly serious, he suddenly broke into a faint smile.

’He’s calm in the face of danger. Even if you lose this match, I’ll still acknowledge you,’ Dilaka thought, stroking his beard. ’It’s only an Ancient Secret Technique. The ones from the Supreme Secret Scripture are all a matter of fate. If your destiny isn’t right, even if you obtain one, it might not be suitable for you. You would just be wasting the one chance a person gets in their lifetime to cultivate an Ancient Secret Technique.’

Below the arena, the Primordial Power released by Binglan and the others continued to fuse. The energy wasn’t gathering quickly, but it wasn’t slow either. In just ten seconds, a purple sphere half a meter in diameter had taken shape. The waves of Primordial Power that had been radiating from it moments ago now subsided.

The corner of Binglan’s mouth curled into a victorious smile. She chuckled softly, "Mu Chen, even if you were to dispel the Resist Fire Ring now, you’d have no chance of breaking our formation. Next, I’ll let you experience the true meaning of fear and death!"

As she spoke, Binglan thrust her arms forward. A massive Qi Force instantly propelled the purple sphere toward Mu Chen, while she and the other five shot backward in retreat. Having used this move often, they knew that once the Ice and Fire Burst fully detonated, the entire arena would be obliterated, and Mu Chen would be completely annihilated!

"Damn it!" Elder Bai’s expression hardened, and his entire body tensed. Although the Primordial Power fluctuations from the purple sphere had subsided, as a Martial Venerable, he had no doubt about the power it would unleash upon exploding!

But just as he was about to intercept the purple sphere, he realized that Mu Chen was charging straight for it! At that moment, every contestant in the viewing area cried out in shock!

"Holy crap! What a badass! I finally get why this guy is so damn strong! He actually dares to charge head-on into a Combat Skill that terrifying!"

"If it were me, I’d turn and run right now. Losing isn’t scary. What’s scary is losing and not even getting a chance for revenge later!"

...

"Brother Mu Hua, has Mu Chen been scared out of his mind by that Ice and Fire Burst? To think he’d actively charge such a terrifying Combat Skill. You know, even five years ago, we wouldn’t have dared to face that skill head-on!" a young man beside Shi Mu Hua said with a frown. They were in the viewing area for the High-class Empires of the Ice Emperor Dynasty.

"..." Shi Mu Hua shook his head wordlessly. Even he couldn’t see through Mu Chen’s actions. ’Did I misjudge him?’

He privately dismissed the thought. Shi Mu Hua knew from their brief contact that morning that this Mu Chen was definitely not an impulsive person. On the contrary, he was extremely intelligent.

’Could he have a way to break their five-person combined Ice and Fire Burst?’

’No! That’s impossible. Even I, as I am now, couldn’t escape an Ice and Fire Burst of that magnitude unscathed. So what on earth is he thinking?’ Shi Mu Hua’s thoughts were a mess. He didn’t want to doubt his ability to judge character, but he understood Mu Chen’s actions even less. ’I should just watch. Maybe I’ll understand what he’s planning soon enough.’

Taking a deep breath, Shi Mu Hua locked his gaze completely on Mu Chen.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen continued to advance toward the sphere formed by the Ice and Fire Burst. His pace wasn’t fast—it was more like a slow jog—but his feet were like solid rock. Every step he took was incredibly stable!

"Sister Bing’Er, Mu Chen is..." Mo Qing trusted Mu Chen deeply, but at this moment, facing such a powerful Combined Battle Skill, she couldn’t help but feel a little panicked.

Mu Bingling shook her head. "Chen’Er is the calmest among us. He never does anything he isn’t confident about."

"That’s right! Remember, he’s Mu Chen, the god-like figure in our hearts!" Qing Lei’s eyes burned with fervor. In his vision, the black-clad figure grew larger and larger, until it filled his entire world!

This was the existence he could only look up to! The one who dared to do what no one else would! The one who could create infinite miracles and possibilities! That was the man he would eternally pursue!

...

"Is he an idiot?" Binglan, who had retreated to the edge of the arena, stared blankly at the approaching Mu Chen, her face a mask of confusion.

"..."

The other five were just as baffled. In their memory, no one had ever dared to face their Combined Battle Skill so directly!

"What is this kid doing?" The question had barely left Dilaka’s lips when he suddenly noticed a change in Mu Chen’s movements.

The Ice Extreme Demon Pupils spun rapidly as the Nine-Colored Dantian inside Mu Chen’s body suddenly began to revolve violently. Within it, the Dantians for the Ice Attribute and Fire Attribute erupted with a dazzling light. Mu Chen slowly extended his arms. With a single thought, a frigid stream of Primordial Power and a scorching stream of Primordial Power surged out from his body simultaneously, transforming into a dual-colored cyclone that enveloped his arms.

"That’s—!!" At almost the same instant, every spectator from the High-class Empires and the special seating areas shot to their feet.

"Ice and Fire Attribute Primordial Power! Dual Attribute Primordial Power! How is that possible?!"

"Dual Attribute! It’s actually Dual Attribute! How is he still alive?! And he can even control both attributes at the same time!"

"Heavens! Is this kid even human?!"

Amid the surging currents of air, the charging Mu Chen had no time to listen to the crowd’s chatter. Right now, he had focused almost all his Spiritual Power on the purple sphere. With his Ice Extreme Demon Pupils operating at their peak, the trajectory of the Primordial Power within the sphere had long since been mapped out in his mind. What he needed to do now was reverse that trajectory and break the sphere back down into the five original streams of Ice and Fire Elemental Power!

And during his charge, Mu Chen finally, fully grasped the operational trajectory of the Ice and Fire Burst!

"Right here!"

With a low shout, Mu Chen thrust out both hands, pressing them against two perfectly symmetrical nodes!

THUMP!

As his hands made contact, Mu Chen felt a sharp pain in his palms. If he hadn’t infused them with Ice and Fire Elemental Power beforehand, the terrifying Primordial Power would have torn them to shreds. Fortunately, his observation had been completely correct. These two points were the exact linkage nodes for the fusion of the Ice and Fire Burst’s power!

’Phew... good. As long as I can touch it, I have a way to completely dismantle it!’

Steeling himself, Mu Chen’s arms began to trace a series of profound and mysterious patterns across the purple sphere, which were completely incomprehensible to the onlookers. But only Mu Chen knew what he was doing.

’To dismantle the fusion of ice and fire, I must first destroy the two fusion points, then use my own hands to replace them and guide the energy in reverse!’

Muttering to himself, Mu Chen’s hands moved faster and faster. The purple sphere, which had been containing its energy, once again began to release shockwaves of Primordial Power. The resulting scene was identical to the one just before the Ice and Fire Burst had finished condensing.

"Excellent!" Seeing this, the corner of Mu Chen’s mouth unconsciously curled up. ’The direction of the fusion’s trajectory has been reversed!’

"Is it... about to burst?!"

Someone in the viewing area shouted, and the rest of the crowd immediately activated their Elemental Shields. Although Arena Number One was already covered by an Elemental Barrier, who could guarantee that the barrier wouldn’t shatter?!

But just after they had all raised their Elemental Shields, the purple sphere on Arena Number One suddenly twitched! Immediately after, a whirlpool appeared on its surface and began to spin rapidly! As the whirlpool spun, the purple sphere grew increasingly faint. As if time itself were reversing, the condensed sphere reverted back into five crimson-and-blue cyclones, which Mu Chen held suspended in the air with his Primordial Power.

Phew...

Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his temple. He let out a slight chuckle, his eyes filled with excitement!

At this very moment, every contestant who witnessed the scene was frozen in place, mouths agape and eyes wide with bewilderment. The entire Peak of the Holy Mark was so silent you could hear a pin drop; even the sound of breathing seemed to fade in and out.

"What... what did that kid just do...?"

"I just saw him wave his hands, and that terrifying Ice and Fire Burst just... vanished..."

"It was like time was reversing. Could he have the power to control time?"

"What in the world just happened? Can someone please tell me?!"

After someone’s question broke the silence, the entire Peak of the Holy Mark suddenly erupted into a cacophony of discussion, as if a pot had boiled over.

"Brother Mu Hua, h-h-how did he do that?" the young man beside Shi Mu Hua stammered again.

Shi Mu Hua, however, looked at Mu Chen with an extremely peculiar expression and sighed. "I still underestimated him. Just how many trump cards is that kid hiding?!"
