Magical Arts

Magical Arts are a type of Skill.
== Info ==
They were not ordinary Battle Skills. They required profound comprehension skills to use. Furthermore, they were still very dangerous to use. If you were unable to control it well enough, you would end up injured by your own attack.
Although it was said that magical arts were for Xiantian experts and above, it was better to say that they were for Sea Expansion experts and above. Most Xiantian experts did not dare to use them.
Only once they reached the Sea Expansion realm would they have high enough comprehension of heaven and earth, and only then would they dare to use them. Furthermore, even Sea Expansion experts had to be careful with magical arts. The slightest mistake would cause a backlash. That was the heartlessness of the Heavenly Daos.
They could bestow you with great strength, or they could exterminate you. Different from Battle Skills, the majority of magical arts were released outside the body.
It was usually only the Sea Expansion experts that could use magical arts. That was something related to the amount of spiritual yuan a person could use.
Only once the qi sea's spiritual yuan was plentiful enough could it keep up with the immense exhaustion of a magical art. But Xue You was able to use a magical art so easily. At that time, he hadn't even released his manifestation. That magical art was an ordinary attack to him, but it had still forced Long Chen to the point of using the Double Dragon Destruction.
== Difference from Battle Skills ==
Magical arts were different from Battle Skills. Battle Skills relied on circulating the energy within the user, condensing it together to release the greatest power.
The principle of a Battle Skill was like stopping a river and storing up water before suddenly releasing it all.
But magical arts relied on activating the energy within heaven and earth. A person's energy was just to connect to it. It was like a detonator activating explosives.
However, after activating heaven and earth's energy, that vast energy had to be properly controlled by spiritual yuan. Normally, only Sea Expansion experts could use magical arts, because Xiantian experts didn't have the spiritual yuan to control it. Using one would just cause their bodies to explode.
Another difference is that Battle Skills could be directly activated, but magical arts required circulating the original elemental energy. For example, when Long Chen wanted to use the Raging Flame Prison, he needed to circulate the Earth Flame's energy according to a set locus.
== Power ==
After using this move, his experience with magical arts had risen a great deal. The reason magical arts were so powerful was because they drew off the world's elemental energy. That was naturally extremely powerful, but using one exhausted both spiritual yuan and Spiritual Strength. That exhaustion was extremely great.
Although the power was worth it, Long Chen also sensed some danger. In truth, magical arts were a double-sided blade. At the same time as they could be used to kill enemies, they posed a great risk.
There were two factors. One was that if your own power wasn't high enough, you wouldn't be able to control the world's energy, and that would cause the magical art to erupt out of your control.
The other danger was if your opponent had a way to restrain your magical art. For example, they might break the equilibrium of your magical art. Then your control over the natural energy would also break, and you would suffer a backlash.
It was no wonder why even those old Sea Expansion monsters wouldn't easily use magical arts unless they were forced to. Controlling them was too difficult and too dangerous.
== Story ==
=== Flame magical arts ===
Back in the chaos region, those Corrupt Sea Expansion experts had released an immense black hand to attack him. That had been a magical art. It had used their energy to control natural energy, and it was exceedingly powerful.
Long Chen had been completely submerged within the profundities of these flame magical arts. He was like a drunkard who could not escape from his infatuation.
His control over his Pill Flame could be said to be unrivaled. Therefore, these incomparably profound magical arts weren't difficult for him to learn. But he still needed some time to understand them, and they were so profound that he found himself completely absorbed.
