Chapter 287 Consuming the Saint Essence Fruit Leads to a Huge Boost
Yang Haoran's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He hadn't expected Mo Ming to cut down the Sacred Origin Fruit Tree under such circumstances.
Mo Ming landed steadily, casually took out the Shadow Chasing Purple Gold Crossbow, and fired six explosive golden arrows at Yang Haoran.
"Boom boom boom——"
The explosive golden arrows detonated one after another, instantly engulfing the entire area in flames and smoke. Yang Haoran was forced back by the shockwaves of the explosions, and several fine cracks appeared on his rock armor.
Taking advantage of the explosion's cover, Mo Ming grabbed the fruit tree and turned to disappear into the woods without hesitation. Carrying the Holy Essence Fruit tree, he quickly fled into the distance, his figure soon vanishing into the dense forest.
"Mo Ming!"
Yang Haoran roared and punched away the dust in front of him, but Mo Ming had already vanished without a trace. He stared at the severed branches of the Holy Yuan Fruit Tree, his face terribly grim, his fists clenched so tightly that cracks spread across his rock armor.
"Damn it! I used up an Earth Armor Spirit Stone and got nothing in return."
"Mo Ming, you just wait, I'll settle this score with you!" Yang Haoran said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with furious anger.
Meanwhile, Mo Ming had already fled the battlefield. Carrying the Sacred Essence Fruit tree, a smug smile played on his lips: "Yang Haoran, I'll gladly accept this Sacred Essence Fruit!"
As he spoke, he put away the bronze demon-suppressing sword, looked at the small tree in his hand, and reached out to pluck the two golden holy essence fruits.
He stepped into a cave hidden by vines, and after making sure no one was around, he sat down against the wall. Looking at the two round and plump golden [Holy Essence Fruits], a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"All the hard work finally paid off!"
He chuckled softly, sheathed the bronze demon-suppressing sword beside him, and cautiously surveyed the cave. Only after confirming it was safe did he turn his gaze back to the Sacred Essence Fruit.
The fruit emitted a faint golden light, like a crystal-clear gemstone, and a refreshing fragrance wafted from its surface, making one's mouth water. Mo Ming gently wiped the surface, a thought stirring within him as he recalled the powerful spiritual energy contained within the fruit, and a sense of anticipation instantly arose in his heart.
"Enhancing the ability to control spiritual energy... I wonder what the effect will be."
He pondered for a moment, then gently bit open the skin of one of the Holy Essence Fruits.
With a snap, a sweet and rich juice gushed out from the fruit pulp, carrying a cool sensation as it entered the throat, quickly transforming into a warm spiritual current that spread throughout the body.
The flesh was thin and delicate, seemingly melting in the mouth; the whole experience was simply irresistible. Mo Ming couldn't help but devour the remaining fruit, not wanting to waste a single drop of juice.
"Hmm..." Mo Ming wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, closed his eyes, and began to carefully feel the changes in his body.
He could feel the Holy Essence Fruit he had swallowed transform into a warm, flowing stream of spiritual energy, rapidly entering his meridians and circulating throughout his body along the path of spiritual energy circulation.
With each turn, it was as if some kind of closed shackle was being broken a little. He vaguely sensed that the spiritual power that was usually difficult to fully control was now easily subjugated to his will, and the manipulation of spiritual power became exceptionally easy, as natural as instinct.
"This is amazing! This feeling is incredible!"
Mo Ming sighed softly. He raised his hand and gently gathered a stream of fire-attribute spiritual energy. A faint flame appeared out of thin air in his palm, like a dancing sprite blooming in his hand.
From that moment on, his control over the flame became so precise that he could manipulate every minute change—temperature, size, shape, and even the direction and intensity of the flame—all without the aid of the Six Directions Seal.
"When I fought Yang Haoran just now, I had to use my spiritual power to concentrate through the Six Directions Seal so that my sword energy could be perfectly integrated. Now I feel like I can control the flames with ease!" Mo Ming opened his eyes, flicked his finger lightly, and the flames instantly went out.
However, the effects of the Sacred Essence Fruit had not completely worn off. The spiritual energy within him remained active, as if it were gradually expanding his control, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of this change.
He tried to convert spiritual energy into spiritual power of other attributes, but to no avail.
"It seems that the Saint Essence Fruit only enhances the control over the attribute spiritual power that one already knows how to use." Mo Ming quickly found the reason.
He had always been able to control fire-attribute spiritual power with the assistance of the Six Directions Seal. This Sacred Essence Fruit should have been what inspired Mo Ming's understanding of fire-attribute spiritual power, allowing him to use spiritual power on his own before reaching the Radiant Orange level.
Of course, while control is one thing, without using the Six Directions Seal, the fire attack that Mo Ming unleashed would be much less effective.
Therefore, Mo Ming's high damage output still revolves around the Bronze Six-Sided Seal. However, the Sacred Essence Fruit also brought Mo Ming another enhancement.
Even now, Mo Ming can control the Six Directions Seal without having to hold it in his hand; the Six Directions Seal being in his spatial ring doesn't matter.
Although Mo Ming didn't understand the reason, he had to admit that the feeling was... incredibly awesome!
Mo Ming couldn't help but lick his lips, looking at the remaining golden Saint Essence Fruit in his hand with intense desire in his eyes.
"This one has already shown such a significant improvement; who knows how much more it will improve with another one!"
Without hesitation, he picked up the second Holy Essence Fruit and took a bite.
The sweet taste swept over his taste buds once again, and a warm and intense torrent of spiritual energy surged into his body like a giant wave.
This change was far more intense than the first. The spiritual energy surged through his limbs and bones, as if a pure energy source had been injected deep within his body, cleansing his spiritual energy circulation network.
"call……"
Mo Ming took a deep breath, his hands unconsciously bracing themselves on the ground. His brows furrowed slightly, but there was no expression of pain. The violent yet gently guiding spiritual energy surge made him feel an unprecedented sense of refinement—as if every strand of spiritual energy in his body was being integrated into this new circulatory system, completely transformed and tempered.
"What speed is this!"
He could clearly feel that from the initial unfamiliarity when he first absorbed the Saint Essence Fruit, to this moment, in just a few breaths, he had completely mastered the control of a new level of spiritual power.
He slowly raised his hand and gently waved it. The bronze demon-suppressing sword absorbed the spiritual power of the flames, and the blade immediately burst into crimson flames. At the same time, his consciousness perfectly matched every trace of the movement of these spiritual powers of the flames.
"Not only has it enhanced my control, but the efficiency of releasing fire spiritual energy has also increased by nearly 30%! Just what level of rare and precious material is this fruit..." Mo Ming muttered to himself, feeling incredible about the effects of the two Saint Yuan Fruits.
He stood up and gently waved the bronze demon-suppressing sword at the air in front of the cave.
A fiery sword aura roared out, but unlike the previous rough sword auras that resembled a raging fire dragon, this sword aura contained a more precise flow of spiritual energy. As the flames swirled, the sword aura was like a burning blade, slicing through the air and precisely cutting through the protruding rock wall in front of it.
"With more refined and precise control over the flames, the power and duration of the attack will be greatly enhanced!"
Mo Ming nodded in satisfaction. He hadn't expected that this Sacred Essence Fruit would actually have such miraculous uses, completely enhancing his control over spiritual power and even greatly optimizing his spiritual power release techniques during combat.
After calming himself down a bit, Mo Ming put away the bronze demon-suppressing sword, cleaned up the cave to cover up any traces he might have left, and then stood at the cave entrance and walked into the dense forest further away.
