Chapter 14: Single-Eye Mangekyo Awakens! Kamui Dōjutsu
In the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, the vegetation seemed to have been pressed with a pause button at this very moment.
"Sharingan, this is..."
Lin Sheng knelt on one knee amidst a pile of dead leaves.
His left hand clawed tightly into the soil beneath him; his fingernails had long since cracked from the excruciating pain, and blood stained the gaps between them.
Meanwhile, his right hand... was trembling violently and uncontrollably, tightly covering his right eye.
"Ah—!" An extremely suppressed roar erupted from his throat.
The vast, million-year-old mental force origin of the Tianmeng Iceworm was unexpectedly assimilated by the Sharingan itself.
Instead, it was transformed into... an extreme emotional shock akin to hatred and sorrow!
"Boom—!" This power, at this moment, did not turn into a gentle, warm current, but rather like magma forcibly compressed to its limit.
It rampaged wildly within Lin Sheng's right eyeball!
That was not just a shock of spirit power... it was the painful memories of the loneliness, despair, and being devoured by fierce beasts throughout the Tianmeng Iceworm's million-year lifespan.
Through the special Spirit mechanism of the Sharingan... it was all converted into the purest, most violent emotional explosive.
"I can actually... assimilate those extreme painful emotions of the Tianmeng Iceworm!" Lin Sheng clutched his right eye, in immense pain.
The Tianmeng Iceworm in his sea of consciousness also shrieked.
"What the hell! What's going on? Why do I sense your eyes..."
"What the hell is happening??" The Tianmeng Iceworm was dumbfounded.
This was not what he had imagined!!...
In Lin Sheng's perception, the World of his right eye had shattered.
The three originally clear black tomoe were leaping and elongating crazily in a sea of crimson blood.
Those originally independent patterns, under the burning of extreme emotional flames, began to twist and extend into each other, attempting to carve out some ancient totem that transcended the mortal realm.
"Boom—!" Each pulse was accompanied by a violent tearing sensation in his cerebral cortex.
Lin Sheng's mind flashed with scenes from the past.
The destroyed village, those unforgettable hatreds—all of it transformed into fuel for evolution at this moment.
Even... accompanied by the painful emotions assimilated from the Tianmeng Iceworm!
Just then, space slightly distorted, and two figures, one tall and one short, arrived as expected.
"This is..." Di Tian halted his movement, and for the first time, a look of shock appeared in his golden dragon eyes.
Before him! The youth was surrounded by a layer of nearly tangible crimson steam.
"What eerie mental force fluctuations, they can even distort space?"
"What exactly is this illusory mental force?"
What made him feel even more incredulous was that the threads of fate in the surrounding void were resonating violently because of the youth's pain.
"Di Tian, look at his eyes!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, Lin Sheng seemed to sense the arrival of the Auspicious Beast.
Through the slit of his tightly closed right eye, a crack was forcibly torn open!
The origin of the Sharingan displayed its greedy and domineering side at this moment.
It was not only assimilating the power of Tianmeng!
The moment it sensed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it autonomously drew a wisp of ethereal golden power of fate from the void.
"Hum—!" Golden light spots and crimson mental force intertwined and collided in Lin Sheng's right pupil.
In that instant, the three originally distorted tomoe finally completed their fusion.
The tips of the tomoe connected to each other, outlining a strange and gorgeous pattern resembling a black blade or a three-bladed boomerang.
It was deeply etched into the depths of his pupil.
"Boom—!" An indescribable mental force shockwave exploded from Lin Sheng as the center, and the low-level Spirit Beasts in the vicinity had their consciousness shattered by this aura in an instant!
Lin Sheng slowly moved his hand away from his right eye.
At this moment, his left eye remained a crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan, while his right eye... in that originally crimson pupil, a special pattern was flickering with a cold and noble black light.
"Mangekyō... Sharingan." Lin Sheng whispered.
His voice became hoarse and surged with an indescribable emotional shock.
With the official awakening of his right eye, the originally rampaging power instantly returned to calm!
His mental force not only did not dry up, but instead, like a bottomless dry well suddenly receiving sweet rain, it became endless.
"Holy crap..." the Tianmeng Iceworm was stunned in the sea of consciousness.
It could feel that the youth's right eye was now like a black hole capable of devouring Divinities.
"Big Brother bet right; this youth is not simple!"
Lin Sheng slowly raised his head and looked at Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
His vision had changed.
With the blessing of the Mangekyo, he was no longer just seeing the flow of spirit power; he could even see the folds of space.
When his gaze swept toward an ancient tree nearby! With just a thought, that space slightly distorted, and the entire ancient tree was instantly ground into powder by an invisible force.
"How can this human's eyes... be so palpitating?" Di Tian wondered in his heart.
He subconsciously took a step forward, his dragon might restrained, yet as heavy as a mountain.
"..." Lin Sheng did not pay attention to Di Tian's gaze.
Lin Sheng carefully felt the Dōjutsu residing in his right eye.
It was a terrifying power capable of making illusions reality, or even reversing cause and effect in a small area.
"So that's how it is."
"On the Douluo Continent, the characteristics of the Sharingan have also changed slightly, and by accident."
"It actually stimulated my right eye to evolve into the Mangekyo!" Lin Sheng was delighted.
"Doesn't that mean I can cast some exclusive Dōjutsu that can only be used after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
He used his power of insight to clearly see the shape of the Mangekyo in his right eye. It was indeed unique!
"The exclusive Dōjutsu has actually become my fourth Spirit Ability..."
Lin Sheng's fourth Spirit Ability could also be called the exclusive Dōjutsu of his Mangekyo: Kamui!
Kamui: Intangibility! Kamui: Distortion!
Although they were all different uses of the Dōjutsu Kamui, falling upon his right eye, perhaps they could be called the two Spirit Abilities granted by Lin Sheng's fourth spirit ring!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not notice that a wisp of the power of fate had been drawn away just now.
It curiously sized up Lin Sheng.
Feeling that strong resonance, that sense of familiarity that was unconsciously attracted to the Sharingan, made it unable to resist moving closer to Lin Sheng.
"He... hasn't forgotten me, has he?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion sized up Lin Sheng with great interest.
"Little one, long time no see."
Coming back to his senses, Lin Sheng restrained the Mangekyo in his right eye, and its pattern reverted to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Only when casting the exclusive Mangekyō Dōjutsu would its exclusive pattern condense.
"Human, do you still remember me?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion waved its paw, then she felt that Di Tian was a bit of an eyesore.
So she told Di Tian to leave first...
Di Tian: "???"
There was no other way; Di Tian chose to retreat and observe the situation here from the shadows.
