Chapter 206: Fixation, Refresh, Immortal Body
"Terrifying yet majestic, it could even emit a divine voice that enforced strict order. Such power couldn’t belong to a mere monster. Who is he? Why did he save me?"
Fox Demon Bai Zhi frowned thoughtfully, her heart filled with both gratitude and curiosity. Meanwhile, Mu Lin didn’t spare her any attention.
His eyes were fixed on the rampaging earth dragon across the battlefield. Excitement surged through him.
‘I wonder if my fixation command can immobilize this creature.’
Acting on impulse, Mu Lin roared at the giant worm-like dragon with godlike authority:
"Freeze!"
The great sound fell silent. As Mu Lin’s commanding voice echoed, everything around them suddenly stilled – including the earth dragon he targeted. Though after freezing, it started moving again, its speed had slowed to that of an elderly man, over ten times slower than before.
"What?!"
Yuance’s eyes widened in shock. Having fought this colossal earth dragon for hours, he knew its terrifying resilience – nearly unkillable immortality, absurd magic resistance, and overwhelming physical strength. The only reason he’d survived this long was because the beast moved slowly and couldn’t fly.
Yet this seemingly invincible monster had been slowed by a single word from the dragon-like figure. Yuance’s tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
"Thanks, brother."
Mu Lin ignored the gratitude, focused on the earth dragon’s terrifying vitality. "This creature’s body is too powerful. Completely freezing its movements would exhaust me. Fortunately…"
His eyes narrowed. "My fixation works on souls too – and this beast’s spirit is far weaker than its body."
The earth dragon’s sluggishness came from its frozen consciousness perceiving time slower. But Mu Lin already felt cracks forming in his spiritual hold – the monster would break free in three minutes.
No matter.
"CRACK!"
As the earth dragon froze, Mu Lin’s body erupted with power. Twin heartbeats thundered – his own pulse and the roaring Heart of Thunder in his chest.
"BOOM!"
"Crackle…"
Blood-red lightning surged around him like living serpents.
Mu Lin’s power of thunder originated from dragon blood, and dragon blood undeniably belonged to physical strength.
Bathed in the Bloody Moon’s light, Mu Lin’s body transformed into the Spirit Sea realm.
Combined, these factors caused his power of thunder to surge to the Spirit Sea level.
Now, when unleashed, the thunderstorms around Mu Lin grew over ten times more violent and powerful.
"Boom!"
The frenzied lightning twisted the air around him, completely enveloping his eight-meter-tall frame until nothing remained visible.
Though aware Mu Lin wouldn’t harm them, Chu Lingluo and Yan Yunyu still retreated instinctively before the ceaseless thunder.
This was humanity’s primal fear of giant beasts and cataclysms, carved deep into their bloodline.
Wreathed in blood-red lightning like a mad thunder deity, Mu Lin struck terror even into Yan Yunyu. The earth dragon he targeted reacted far worse.
Mortal danger drove the creature to utter madness.
"Roar!"
It bellowed and thrashed, jaws gaping to swallow Mu Lin whole.
Too slow.
Though frenetic, the soul-fixing power still trapped its spirit. Its sluggish movements let Mu Lin calmly gather strength, drawing the thunderous might into his chest.
"Boom…"
As power coalesced, Mu Lin’s torso burned crimson. Then he opened his maw and expelled the accumulated energy—Thunder Breath!
"Boom… roar!"
The thunderous torrent lasted thirteen full seconds, overwhelming the seventy-meter earth dragon.
No—it didn’t stop there. The Thunder Breath blasted past the dragon, obliterating houses, boulders, giant trees, and mutated blood-demons in its path.
"Zzap!"
When silence fell, a smoldering corridor stretched eight hundred meters from Mu Lin’s position, edges fused into glassy slag.
This devastation froze even the blood-red three-eyed crow mid-hunt. After moments of hesitation, the murderous demon cawed sharply, summoning its flock to retreat.
It feared Mu Lin—but more crucially, through blood-eyed lenses, the youth appeared not human but a fellow blood-colored monster. Under the Bloody Moon, demons pursued outsiders relentlessly yet respected hierarchy among their kind. Clearly stronger, Mu Lin seemed no rescuer but a tyrant hoarding prey.
The retreat made twisted sense. Though surprised, Mu Lin let them flee, turning his gaze forward.
When the Thunder Breath that lasted thirteen seconds faded, the earth dragon hadn’t completely died.
The creature now presented a pitiful sight.
The relentless thunderous torrent had stripped away layers of its flesh, shrinking its original seventy-meter body by half. What remained stood charred and blackened.
The damage ran deeper than surface wounds—blood-red lightning had pierced through its body, destroying vital organs and melting them with destructive energy. Yet the earth dragon’s vitality proved terrifying. Despite its melted brain, charred heart, and ravaged internal organs, it clung to life. Worse, once Mu Lin’s Thunder Breath ceased, its body began rapidly regenerating.
"This immortality surpasses limb-regrowing Rebirth, approaching Blood Rebirth itself… absurd."
Mu Lin didn’t launch a second Thunder Breath. Even in his evolved state, using it required considerable recovery time. But breath attacks weren’t his only option.
"Fixate!"
His commanding shout triggered an unnatural phenomenon. Though the earth dragon kept regenerating, a special force instantly reversed any healing, returning its body to the critically injured state. This was Mu Lin’s refined application of stillness—fixing the earth dragon’s baseline condition as "severely wounded." Unless overcoming this constraint, no amount of regeneration could restore it.
This time, Mu Lin contemplated further uses for fixation. "Could I apply this to myself?"
Obviously, he’d fix himself in peak condition rather than injured state. Success meant instant recovery from fatal injuries by resetting to his preserved healthy state. With constant application, this could simulate an immortal body.
"Permanent fixation would hinder physical and magical growth… That medical master’s seal method holds promise." He considered imprinting the fixation command as a forehead seal using formations, normally inactive but recording his condition. When gravely wounded, releasing the seal would instantly restore him.
The implications made Mu Lin hiss through clenched teeth.
Whether through innate cleverness or post-enlightenment clarity, Mu Lin’s mind raced. Beyond self-restoration, he envisioned sealing temporary power boosts like Communicating with Spirits · Ancestral Souls combined with exceeded state overload. Fixed as forehead seals, these could be activated instantly without preparation, conserving energy. He even wondered if fixation could restore expended magic.
His thoughts crescendoed into wild speculation: "Can I make exceeded state my default condition?"
