Mo Fan/Cultivation

}As the owner of the Natural Talent: Dual Element Awakening (天生双系 is more accurately translated as Natural Born Twin Elements) which allows Mo Fan to awaken 2 Elements each Mage "Tier" he is nothing short of a Magic powerhouse. Mo Fan's fighting style is full out aggressive as noted by many people that while most mages hurl spells while keeping as far away as possible from monsters, Mo Fan was seen on almost every occasion to charge headfirst at the most powerful monsters in sight. He has awakened just about every Element that is considered most "violent" or destructive so far.

Although Mo Fan tends to seemingly charge brainlessly into the middle of battle, the most deadly aspect of him is not his immense firepower but his deceptively fast ability to think on his feet and showing no qualms in displaying ruthlessness when required. Coupled with the wide array of options Mo Fan has at his disposal, he was called "One Mage Army" on several occasions as a result.

Mo Fan is by no means is invincible as he has stated on multiple occasions that naval battles are not his forte. This is not attributed to multiple factors. One is because Mo Fan does not have a naval battle based Element, in addition Mo Fan does not know how to swim or dive. This results in him being unable to factor in scenarios faced in naval battles (water surface or underwater) while training his magic elements. All these contributed to him being unable to fight as hard as he should despite having twice as many Elements as other people. This weakness has been filled after reaching Super Tier.

Simply by witnessing Mo Fan having fabled Chongming Heavenly Fire in his possession, Su Lu, the President of the Asia Magic Association, who is a known narcassistic megalomaniac, was unable to hide his jealousy and admits that if Mo Fan were to get all his 7 elements to the Super Level, that even without the devil element, an army of Super mages may not be a match for him.

When the Red Devil's ritual was completed, Leng Lingling asked Mo Fan if he had become Forbidden Curse Mage after the Sacred Evil God's Ritual was concluded, Mo Fan said that he thinks it might be far stronger. It was quickly admitted by Archangel Sariel that he had set Mo Fan up to become the next Evil Sacred God, an Emperor Level Dark King in order to justify killing him for the survival of humanity. This was later confirmed that Sariel had been working under the orders of the Archangel Michael to set Mo Fan up in order to create a reason to kill him. They were not interested if Mo Fan can control the evil power, the Archangel was convinced that a disobedient renegade like Mo Fan will surely become a threat to all humans on the planet and deserved to burn in hell for all eternity.

His plans was met with many hindrance and had to conduct a fair, holy trial to determine whether Mo Fan deserves death or not. Despite the Holy City's efforts in manipulating the public's opinion through information control, the Ten Great Factions in the world who wanted more autonomy used Mo Fan's Holy Trial to make a statement to the Holy City and caused Mo Fan to be found innocent! This antagonized Michael who decided to punish the foolish humans starting by destroying the Magic powers of the Jury Members, all of which were Super Level and above. The Archangel proceeds to ignore the results of the fair trial and execute Mo Fan but Mo fan came back from Hell, a place in the Dark Plane that even the Dark King does not possess full control over, with Mu Bai's help. After coming back from the Dark Plane Mo Fan once again had a fight with him and easily overpowered the latter through the use of individual Elements versus Elements with Michael and ripped off 2 Wings from the 16-Wings Archangel. This caused Michael to use God's Mountain, that only works on all Orthodox and used it to claimed that the God's Mountain suppression is evidence that Mo Fan is a heretic who practiced evil magic, thus deserves to be killed. However, many people in the Sacred City knew otherwise. When Mo Fan awaken to the Creator God of Magic's level, Michael screamed in agony and jealousy saying "No! This cannot be true! I am the loyal caretaker of Magic! He is just a heretic! He cannot awaken the true nature of Magic!"

The newly ascended Magic God proceeds to use a Fusion Forbidden Curse of Twelve Magic Elements to punish Archangel Michael by trapping him inside the other side of the Dimension which ended with Michael escaping by sacrificing all remaining wings. Michael was described as physically aged greatly from the ordeal, however, he was still able to throw Forbidden Curse Level Magics at Mo Fan who easily destroyed with his bare fists.

Mo Fan was prevented from killing by the appearance of the remaining Archangels Uriel, a senior 16-Winged Archangel and Raphael, a 14 Winged Archangel, together with Remiel, they showed their tolerance and magnanimious towards the unknown by recognizing Fusion Magic as a legal magic that everyone can practice and Mo Fan is free to spread Fusion Magic Teachings on the conditions that Mo Fan must let Michael off stating that a mere inferior mortal like him is not allowed to punish Michael, his superior and that Michael is beyond reproach! Thus must not be punished no matter what.

This resulted in a brief standoff between Uriel vs Mo Fan, Raphael vs Mu Ningxue and Remiel vs Ye Xinxia and the Angel armies under these Archangels jurdisction standing off with Parthenon's Knights, Zhao Manyan and the Totem Beasts. This standoff was broken when Zhang Xiaohou used the Chaos Abyss to bring the Sacred Totem Azure Dragon to the battlefield.

Under Mo Fan's orders, Michael was punished not only to be stripped of his Archangel's ranks, but also all his Magic Cultivation and have a clearer, better look at the world and the sufferings of the people. The Real Modern world Magic God does not expect Michael to know the suffering of everyone in India, Russia, China, Australia, Africa and America. At least learn the true suffering of Europeans under the hands of monsters

Special Combination Attacks

 * 1) Fire Compression Bomb: Fire & Space element (chapter 1325)
 * 2) Fiery Tyrant: (technically not a combined element attack. However, it was formed by combining three different fire soul seed in chapter 1489)

Art of the Populace (众生法门 also known as Salvation for everyone): Fusion Magic
Initially obtained through the Magic Scholar Feng Zhoulong in the form of a pair of Magic Gloves to help Mo Fan perform Fusion Magic. However, through extensive use of Fusion Magic over the years, Mo Fan finally grasped the secrets of Fusion Magic. Mimicking Knowledege created by Predecessors, Fusion of known skills, Deriving new abilities and scratched the surface of the level of God(s) who created Magic (创造法神境界). By reaching this Cultivation level, Mo Fan is able to perform feats that ignore rules of magic that are widely recognized by everyone in the world. This is because by reaching this Cultivation Level, he is no longer bound by any superficial skills derived from the established Magic rules from the past. All these began from Fusion Magic, which is already a far more advanced evolution of existing magic to the point where it can evolve the entire Magic Civilization to the point where today's Forbidden Curse Mages would be completely outclassed and unable to fathom the magic used by a Fusion Magic Civilization's regular mages if the Scholar Saint and would-be Savior of all Humanity: Feng Zhoulong had his way of introducing Fusion Magic to the world. Hence, extremely powerful and wise mages such as Feng Zhoulong, Mo Fan, Sakya and Caesar (Silver Ashes) gave Feng Zhoulong's 众生法门 the nickname of the Art of Salvation for All Humanity or Art of Allowing Humanity to survive for all eternity and Art that brings Salvation to Everyone. Sakya in particular nonchalantly gave Fusion Magic such nicknames or implies that you either go Fusion Magic or Humanity goes extinct multiple times in the novel, Mo Fan would not refute like it is an irrefutable fact, even Mo Fan's enemies Silver Ashes; Caesar admits that they might have greatly underestimated Fusion Magic and wrong to use it as a political tool, while Su Lu did not explictly admits this, his actions confirms the value of Fusion Magic. Su Lu was confident that by controlling teaching of Fusion Magic to people who are subservient to him, he would be able to overtake the Holy City and Parthenon and killing all 7 Archangels (Michael and Uriel included) would become almost too easy.

This was proven to be true by Mo Fan in his battle against Michael in Holy City.

Feats of Fusion Magic

Fusion Magic: Fire-Lightning Seals, Shadow flames, Space Lightning, Lightning Summon, Chaos Summon.

With Devil Element activated and supplying the magic power he lacks, Mo Fan at Super Tier Level 2 was able to copy and derives his own version of Forbidden Curse Silver Ashes: Caesar's Half FC Spell. The fusion version even surpassed the original by a little.

Fusion of Fire and Lightning elements decimated Xiayu, a huge island. This nameless spell was described as being as powerful as any Half Forbidden Curse Magic can ever be. Yet, Mo Fan was only Super Tier and did not have Devil Element activated.

Awaken 5 Magic Elements in his Forbidden Curse's Awakening.

Derivation of Forbidden Curses of Wind, Ice, Light, Water and Sound through Fire, Lightning, Earth, Shadow, Summon, Chaos and Space Elements (w/Emperor level Devil Element providing the energies for the Forbidden Curses)

Fusion Forbidden Curse of 12 Elements: Used to punish Archangel Michael for his misdeed. Even while Mo Fan was still half way through casting of the 12-Elements Fusion Forbidden Curse, it was described as being stronger than any single element Forbidden Curse known to humanity - Stated by Forbidden Curse Mages present in Holy City.

Magic Spirits:
It was established very early in the novel through Tang Yue that places with high concentration of magic elements can sometimes breeds a Magic Spirit. The type of Spirit that will born is dependent on the most dominant Elements in the area. These are the evolved forms of the microscopic organisms-like Magic Elements that exists in the environment of the Magic World.
 * 1) Rose Flame - Spirit Grade (from fire vein after killing a wanted criminal by the Magic Association)
 * 2) Qianjun - Spirit Grade (from Auction bought by Zhao Manyan for acquiring the credits)
 * 3) Fire Calamity - Soul Grade (will be later on Heaven Grade after Flame Belle become in Adult Phase)
 * 4) Lightning Tyrant - Soul Grade (from Mount Tyrant)
 * 5) Ardent sunset -Soul Grade (from burning mountain in Taklamakan desert used to reborn Flame Belle)
 * 6) Meteor scarlet (subdued from inside a fire vein)
 * 7) Lesser Heavenly earth (crafted by moth woman Yu Shishi)
 * 8) Incomplete Chongming Flames obtained when the Chongming Bird revived from its fossil that happened to be on the Ocean Skeleton King and replaced Mo Fan's heart when his heart was completely smashed by the Ocean Skeleton King in retaliation to Mo Fan and his crew's attacks. It is Small Heavenly Flames in its incomplete form. Later became infinitely close to Medium Heavenly Flames when it became complete.
 * 9) Vermillion Bird's Heart Furnance God Flames. Through the Chongming flames, one of the Four Symbols and Supreme Ranked God in Chinese Mythology was revived in Mo Fan's heart when he was pushed beyond his limits by the Sea Emperor, Cold Lunar Eyes Demon Goddess when it blinked at Super Tier Level 3 Devil Mo Fan's direction during the battle of Shanghai. Mo Fan describe the split second experience of meeting eyes with the Sea Emperor as never before he has ever felt so hopelessly outmatched in Devil form. The Vermillion Bird is not a phoenix, especially in Chinese Mythology. This is a very common misconception. Though it was not stated, the Heart Furance God Flames were strongly hinted to be several times stronger than the completed Chongming Heart Flames and thus likely to be a Large Heavenly Flames.

Cultivation
The first Four Stages of Magic are denoted by Tiers and levels. High Tier Level 2 etc... This is when the Mages are still bound by the established rules of Stars and Star Maps. When a highly skilled Super Tier Mage is strong enough to form a Star Bridge leading to the other side, they no longer needs to follow the rules of Stars and Star Maps. Therefore, the naming changed and there is no more '阶' or Tier mentioned on the Level. They are simply referred to as Half Forbidden Curse.

Half Forbidden Curse Mages are capable of casting High or Super Tier magic rapidly, with sufficient practice and knowledge, casting a spell made out of 7 Star Palaces without having a single star available as all their stars have been used to form the Star Bridges.

Half Forbidden Curse onward, the naming and capabilities are meant to hint a completely different level from before.

Elements
Due to him absorbing the 8 Soul Aspects,Mo Fan able to fully control the devil element. The base cultivation levels of his known awakened Magic Elements as of Chapter 3206


 * Forbidden Curse: Lightning Element
 * Forbidden Curse: Fire Element
 * Forbidden Curse: Shadow Element
 * Forbidden Curse: Summon Element
 * Forbidden Curse: Space Element
 * Forbidden Curse: Earth Element
 * Forbidden Curse: Chaos Element
 * Novice Tier: Water Element
 * Novice Tier: Light Element
 * Novice Tier: Ice Element
 * Novice Tier: Wind Element
 * Novice Tier: Sound Element


 * Emperor level (Stated): Devil Element

Mo Fan's magical powers have been strengthened and cultivated to levels incomprehensible to normal magicians, even those of a super-tier level of cultivation. His dark pendant allows him to capture souls of defeated magical beasts, which is a common property of magical vessels. Mo Fan's dark pendant has a very special and unique property which converts these captured souls into spiritual essences, which can be used directly to strengthen his stars. Upon strengthening 7 stars with servant level spiritual essences, he will unlock the 4th level of the Novice Tier. 49 spiritual essences are required to strengthen a mid tier magic to the 4th level and 343 spiritual essences are required to strengthen high tier magic to the 4th level. To increase to the 5th level of a tier, warrior level spiritual essences are required.

Devil Element was stated specifically by the Red Devil to be a stronger Emperor than he can ever be. This was later confirmed by Archangel Sariel and Michael, the strongest and most knowledgeable Human Mages in the world.

Extraordinary Power
Upon achieving Super Tier level 2, Mo Fan has gained Extraordinary powers. Two of his Extraordinary powers have been revealed. One is Body and Magic Elements becoming one. Lightning Element has become one with his body's acupuncture points. Fire has become one with his heart. Shadow is his arteries. Earth condensates in his bones. His left eye is Chaos, his right eye is Void and his blood is the Devil.(chapter 2280)

Extraordinary Power: Mountains Ragdolling Lightning Scenery. This spell is the fruits of labor between Mo Fan's deeper insights into the realm of Super Tier and the use of Chaos Element's ability to reflect Lightning back to supercharge himself. The result is the Mountains Ragdolling Lightning Scenery Spell. A full one kilometer thick lightning bolt that splits into hundreds more in all directions and in turn each of these hundreds of lightning bolts would split into another hundreds more. This spell is speculated to be able to One Hit KO a Great Monarch because its base power estimated to be nearly 10 times stronger than the textbook Super Tier magic yet, the author confirms it can only do damage equivalent to a knife to the back or shoulder on a Great Monarch at best.
