64: Supernatural Power [Earth Movement]

Crack!

A soft sound, as if the Universe had just begun, exploded deep within his Soul!

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Ability fruit tree, which was intertwined with his Soul, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented dazzling brilliance!

The three-foot jade tree swayed without wind, and the gnarled branches surged with Chaos Qi, as if cheering excitedly. At the top of the fruit tree, a new, thicker branch grew and extended at a visible speed!

At the tip of the branch, a dazzling earthy yellow light rapidly condensed and expanded!

A new Divine Ability fruit was maturing at an astonishing speed!

Lin Feng's mind was instantly drawn to it.

He "saw" the newborn fruit; its form was heavy and restrained, as if condensed from the purest Earth Essence, with profound earth vein patterns flowing on its surface, exuding a deep, stable, and all-encompassing aura.

"It's here! A Divine Ability of the Foundation Establishment Realm!" Lin Feng's heart surged. His mind instantly flashed with the sharpness of Demon Slayer, the profundity of Gather Beast, and the creation of Rain Prayer, filling him with infinite anticipation for this new fruit.

"Is it an offensive Divine Ability? Or defensive? It's best if it's a sword art Divine Ability, to complement my increasingly refined Dao of the Sword… or a Wind Manipulation technique, to greatly increase my evasion speed, which is crucial for both combat and future travel…"

Lin Feng's thoughts raced, recalling the subtle guidance he felt when choosing Divine Abilities in the past, trying to grasp the direction most suitable for him.

He focused his intent, trying to "touch" the "possibility" that represented the sharpness of the Dao of the Sword or the agility of the Wind Element, just as he had before.

However, this time, the familiar "intuition" in his Sea of Consciousness was unusually vague, even carrying a hint of resistance. The heavy earthy yellow fruit, like a root embedded in the earth of his Sea of Consciousness, was as stable as a rock, exuding an undeniable attraction.

"Hmm?" Lin Feng felt a slight surprise. He tried to focus his intent on the Dao of the Sword again, but the "intuition" from the depths of his Soul pointed more clearly towards the earthy yellow fruit, with an undeniable sense of "compatibility."

"Why Earth? Although I have an Earth Spiritual Root among my four Spiritual Roots, it's not my primary Cultivation…"

A hint of confusion and a barely perceptible disappointment flashed through Lin Feng's mind. Sword arts were sharp, and wind manipulation was free and unfettered, both were what his heart desired. This Earth-element Divine Ability seemed to lean towards defense or escape?

But the intuition of the Divine Tree in his Sea of Consciousness had never been wrong! Demon Slayer helped him slay powerful enemies, Gather Beast attracted demons to temper himself, Rain Prayer nurtured spiritual plants to lay his Foundation; every choice had been crucial.

"So be it! I'll trust it this once!" Lin Feng no longer hesitated, decisively giving up his deliberate guidance, completely letting go of his mind, and handing over the choice to the intuition originating from the depths of his Soul!

His thoughts settled!

Buzz!

The heavy earthy yellow Divine Ability fruit glowed brightly, instantly detaching from its branch, transforming into a condensed earthy yellow stream of light, and merging into the depths of Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness!

A vast and profound torrent of information then flooded his consciousness:

Divine Ability: Earth Element!

Passive: Earth Evasion. When traversing the earth, movement is enhanced by the power of the earth, becoming doubly agile, allowing for free evasion, moving as if on flat ground during shifts and turns, with speed and flexibility increased by nearly twofold! This is the earth's favor, requiring no consumption, and is permanently active!

Active: Earth Escape Thousand Miles! Consumes Divine Power, can transform into Earth Essence, instantly merge into the earth'sVeins, and escape far away using the power of the earth veins! The speed of escape and the distance covered depend on the amount of Divine Power consumed and the condition of the earth veins. At Qi Refining Perfection, a full activation can escape tens of thousands of miles; at Foundation Establishment, it can easily escape tens of millions of miles, or even… tens of billions of miles! However, the earth veins are vast and their flow is unpredictable, making the escape destination difficult to control, very likely to deviate from expectations, and fall into unknown perilous lands orDesolate Zone. Use with caution unless absolutely necessary or familiar with the earth veins!

The information was imprinted on his mind, and Lin Feng instantly understood.

"Earth Element… it's such a powerful escape Divine Ability!" The slight disappointment in Lin Feng's heart instantly vanished, replaced by immense joy!

The passive effect, "Earth Evasion," could permanently increase his movement speed and flexibility by nearly twofold!

This meant that his combat ability on land would undergo a qualitative leap; whether attacking or evading, he would be more at ease! This was simply a divine skill for close-quarters combat and complex terrain battles!

And the active "Earth Escape Thousand Miles" was an unparalleled method for self-preservation, surprise attacks, and long-distance travel!

The terrifying escape distance of tens of millions or even tens of billions of miles was enough to allow him to instantly escape from most perilous situations and cross unimaginable distances! This was much, much faster than any flying boat or sword flight!

Although the random landing point was a huge hidden danger, its value as an absolute trump card at critical moments was immeasurable!

Moreover, even though Lin Feng was in the middle of the sea, as long as there was land beneath his feet, he could still escape.

"Good! What a good Earth Element!" Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes shining brightly, "With this Divine Ability, combined with the sharpness of Demon Slayer, where in this vast world can I not go? Even if powerful enemies surround me, I still have a chance to escape!"

He felt the power flowing within him; the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment was profound and pure, far beyond what the Qi Refinement Stage could compare to. What pleased him even more was that with the success of Foundation Establishment, the light points representing the Divine Power limit in his Sea of Consciousness had clearly increased to four!

"Four points of Divine Power!"

A smile played on Lin Feng's lips, "This means that I can activate up to four active Divine Abilities in a single day! Whether it's Rain Prayer for nurturing, Gather Beast for attracting demons, or the critical Demon Slayer for a decisive kill or Earth Element for escape, I now have more ample space to use them! I won't be as constrained as before!"

He stood up, walked to the door of the stone house, and looked out at the spiritual fields shrouded in mist, his gaze seemingly piercing through space to see a broader world.

Foundation Establishment completed, new Divine Ability Awakening, Divine Power limit increased…

"Although I didn't get the sword art or wind manipulation Divine Ability I desired, this 'Earth Element' might just be the most needed safeguard for me right now."

Lin Feng's mind was clear, "The next step is to stabilize my Realm, familiarize myself with this Earth Element Divine Ability, especially the passive movement enhancement… Then, should I consider returning to Xuanlei Island?"

"But I haven't obtained that spiritual eye secret technique yet? Going back now would waste a lot of time!"

"Why not just Cultivate in seclusion here, and return after two years when I've acquired the secret technique?"

"Let me try out this Divine Ability first?"

With a slight thought, he tried to activate the passive effect of "Earth Evasion."

He moved his feet lightly, without using spiritual power, yet he felt a soft lifting force from the reef beneath his feet, and his body felt incredibly light. A simple sidestep created several afterimages, instantly appearing a zhang away!

"Truly wondrous!" Lin Feng felt this gift from the earth, and a surge of heroic spirit rose within him.
