120: Chapter 120 Analysis of the Formless Calamity Flame

After parting ways with Song Xin, Chen Moxuan, his figure shrouded under an invisibility spell, wove through overgrown paths and wild trails, avoiding the main roads until he arrived at a remote suburb far from the battle zone.

His brows furrowed slightly as his vast Spiritual Sense surged out like a tidal wave, spreading rapidly from himself as the center to a ten-kilometer radius, not letting a single flutter of movement escape his notice.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one within a ten-mile radius, he took out the taichu golden mirror and released the corpse of Explosive Flame King, which had been stored in its internal storage space, onto the open ground.

Chen Moxuan lowered his eyes to stare at the headless torso of Explosive Flame King, a glow of contemplation flickering in the depths of his eyes.

"Well then... let's conduct an experiment."

He had acted on impulse to take the corpse of Explosive Flame King, based on two considerations.

First, to delay the Hero Association from learning of Explosive Flame King's death, buying some time for the weakened Song Xin to escape further away.

Second, it was to verify a question buried deep within his memory.

In his impression, after ordinary citizens of Dazhou Nation died, they would be quickly cremated and buried in public cemeteries.

Yet, he had searched his memory and found no impression at all regarding how the corpses of Transcendents were handled.

Although Transcendents generally lived longer than ordinary people, their lifespans varied depending on their Rank.

For example, the lowest-ranked D-Rank Transcendent could generally only live for 200 years.

Even though it was rare for anyone to be able to make a move against a Transcendent due to various restrictions, throughout the long river of history, there had definitely been many Transcendents who passed away naturally.

However, he had never seen a graveyard for Transcendents.

Perhaps it was to cultivate the impression among the public that Transcendents do not die, but Chen Moxuan vaguely felt that there must be a deeper secret.

And today, when he personally blasted the head of Explosive Flame King into dust, he seemed to realize the tip of the iceberg of this secret.

The black god bracelet transformed into a stream of light in Chen Moxuan's palm, instantly condensing into a slender blade with a chilling glint.

His fingertips crackled with lightning, and the power of vibration and lightning shimmered violently on the blade's edge; the space around the blade even rippled with distortion.

"If the birth of a Transcendent absorbs a massive amount of the world's Qi, then why do new Transcendents continue to be born every year given how thin the world's Qi is right now?"

"The answer to this explanation might just be hidden in the corpses of Transcendents."

Chen Moxuan's gaze sharpened, and he slashed the blade diagonally across the corpse of Explosive Flame King.

As the blade vibrated, the power of vibration instantly eroded, and streaks of lightning permeated the corpse before exploding with a bang.

True Qi surged around Chen Moxuan, forming a solid shield of Qi that blocked all the splashing blood.

At the same time, his Spiritual Sense surged out like a tidal wave, rapidly weaving into a giant silver net in the void.

"As expected!"

Just like the previous situation, a burst of the world's Qi surged out instantly.

Although this burst of the world's Qi was much thinner compared to the one that surged out when he blasted the head of Explosive Flame King earlier, it could still be considered vast and pure.

Freed from the shackles of the Transcendent's flesh, this burst of the world's Qi was about to disperse in all directions.

But unlike the previous unexpected situation, Chen Moxuan had been prepared this time.

Thanks to his experience with the Spirit-Eroding Blood Curse, he was already adept at using his Spiritual Sense to bind energy clusters.

Veins bulged on Chen Moxuan's forehead as his Mental Energy poured into the net of Spiritual Sense like a burst dam.

The violent world's Qi was like a wild horse that had broken its bridle, causing the net of Spiritual Sense to expand several times over. Every strand of light vibrated violently, as if it would snap in the next second.

But under Chen Moxuan's increased output of Mental Energy and precise control, the giant net of Spiritual Sense was extremely resilient, maintaining its tension throughout.

Slowly, bit by bit, he gathered the dissipating energy and re-condensed it into a ball.

The next moment, he consumed True Qi again to activate the Divine Ability [Po Yuan].

Golden runes followed, circling around the blade.

His figure flashed past, and the blade in his hand split the light cluster within the net of Spiritual Sense in two.

The broken light cluster erupted with blinding light, and those golden runes, like greedy leeches, instantly seeped into the split energy bodies.

Immediately after, a massive amount of information flooded into Chen Moxuan's mind like a surging tide.

"This is... the essential Law of [Formless Tribulation Flame]?" Chen Moxuan's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he had guessed that this energy cluster surging from the body of Explosive Flame King was not simple and definitely not just pure world's Qi.

But even with psychological preparation, the moment he used [Po Yuan] to deconstruct the energy cluster, he was still caught off guard.

This highly compressed cluster of the world's Qi contained special Laws of the world before it completely dispersed.

And at this moment, Chen Moxuan also understood why there was absolutely no news about the corpses of Transcendents in his memory.

Why, even though the world's Qi was so thin, there were still Transcendents being born continuously.

The Transcendent authorities likely possessed some method to continuously extract the rich world's Qi contained in the corpses of Transcendents and re-infuse it into other newborns.

Natural Transcendents were likely not born with their Special Ability at all, but were artificially created!

And at this moment, the Special Ability Law contained within the corpse of Explosive Flame King was stripped away layer by layer under the deconstruction of Chen Moxuan's [Po Yuan] Divine Ability.

After this energy cluster was completely devoured by the golden runes, this portion of the Special Ability Law turned into a torrent of information at the Origin level and flooded into his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately after, [All-Things Analysis] was activated, attempting to evolve this portion of the Special Ability Law to completion.
