C364 The Martial will of the Sword Entered the Room!(1)

Seeing Woo Zhengyang's figure, the old man couldn't help but show a look of delight. At this moment, the protective aura surrounding Woo Zhengyang had vanished, and even the icy blue glow on his long sword was gone.

"The Explosive Essence Powder didn't let me down! Ha ha..." the old man laughed heartily. But his laughter abruptly stopped, as if something had caught in his throat, leaving him wide-mouthed and full of disbelief.

By now, the dust from the Heaven Shaking Thunder Bead had completely dissipated, leaving only a thin layer of dark blue mist. This mist was the dreaded Explosive Essence Powder, known to disrupt vital energy and blood, and it could linger indefinitely. Once enveloped by it, a practitioner was doomed.

However, the scene before him shattered the old man's and Zhang Tia's understanding. Woo Zhengyang's figure swayed slightly within the mist, seemingly at ease, yet appearing to merge with the world around him. As he moved, the dark blue mist flowed and churned, but showed no intention of invading his body.

Martial Will! The old man was stunned by what he saw.

Explosive Essence Powder is indeed powerful; even those at the Reality Condensing Stage would lose their combat ability if caught off guard. However, practitioners who have honed their martial will remain unaffected. Martial will harnesses the forces of nature itself. When even the vital energy of the world is influenced and controlled, how could Explosive Essence Powder, which relies on this energy, not be affected?

"How is this possible... How have you also honed your martial will?" the elder exclaimed in fear.

At the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, Woo Zhengyang had formed the nascent shape of his martial will. Apart from Moh Lunhui, no one noticed it. But now, Woo Zhengyang's martial will was unmistakably evident. As for Zhang Tia, he was unaware of the situation at the association; to him, martial will was still a legendary realm.

Woo Zhengyang, however, had no intention of explaining anything to them. Determined to advance his martial will further, Woo Zhengyang focused entirely on his goal. Immersing himself in the vastness of the world, he felt as if he had vanished.

Unlike the confined space of the golden arena, the expansive world around Woo Zhengyang was the perfect place to refine his martial will. It was as if he had become a gentle breeze, freely wandering through this world. The vital energy around him was also like a breeze, equally free, unseen by him and unable to see him, each unaffected by the other.

The old man's Vital Spirit Giant Hand occasionally smashed through everything in its path. Woo Zhengyang's casually swung long sword also wreaked havoc. Even the Body Protecting Astral Qi, fueled by the true energy within Woo Zhengyang, disturbed the harmony of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. This disturbance was forceful and exhausting, as all the vital energy resisted, even when commandeered or detonated, it was done under duress.

Woo Zhengyang struggled to harmonize his spirit with the world around him, seeking acceptance from the vital energy, but it was incredibly difficult. It wasn't until the Array Origin Bead attacked, spreading Explosive Essence Powder, that Woo Zhengyang had a sudden realization. He withdrew his Body Protecting Astral Qi and halted the flow of his true energy. Under the cover of Explosive Essence Powder, this move seemed suicidal, but Woo Zhengyang, ever the madman, was fearless in pursuit of his wild martial will.

Once all the elements disrupting the vital energy were discarded, Woo Zhengyang's spirit finally melded with the world, reaching the mysterious state that the golden vortex had once aided him to achieve. In this state, Woo Zhengyang danced on the edge of a blade, every inch of his skin and even each strand of hair had to be incredibly cautious, guiding the surrounding Explosive Essence Powder. Any lapse in attention could lead to irreversible disaster.

However, Woo Zhengyang endured.

The world around him embraced him, allowing him to slowly channel his energy. By harnessing the power of his spirit and energy, he influenced the flow of vital energy in his surroundings, creating a scene that left the old man and Zhang Tia utterly astonished.

In the midst of the Explosive Essence Powder's mist, Woo Zhengyang moved gracefully, like a mythical being dancing. At this moment, every particle of the mist was under his control.

As he wielded the No Life Sword, the particles obediently converged towards it. This wasn't a mere martial skill; it was mastery over the forces of nature. The colored mist made the scene even more vivid.

"He actually condensed martial will!" The old man was terrified as he saw the embryonic form of Woo Zhengyang's sword force and quickly retreated. For those skilled in using poison, a cultivator with condensed martial will was their nemesis. Not to mention, Woo Zhengyang was a super genius with the Ice Crystal Fire Body. Even an ordinary cultivator with martial will was beyond their capability to handle.

"You can't escape!" Woo Zhengyang said softly as the No Life Sword slashed forward.

The dark green mist of the Explosive Essence Powder transformed into streams of green dragons, sweeping towards the old man as Woo Zhengyang's sword descended...

Woo Zhengyang's sword moved slowly, yet the effect it produced was absolutely astonishing. The dark, misty aura from the Explosive Essence Powder played a crucial role. Normally, the force of the sword would be invisible, but the mist made its power vividly apparent to the three onlookers.
