Salvation Demon Stardust Dragon, a Quasi-God King Level Martial Soul

You Chen's research direction regarding Martial Soul Fusion Skill is correct.

However, it cannot be said that there are no problems.

The biggest problem is that the soul is a very abstract concept.

You Chen wants to improve his soul compatibility with Ignis, he needs to do more than just understand his own soul's messages.

However, without the authority of the soul, even with the realm of Divine Sense and Heart of Clear Mirror Still Water, it was already extremely difficult for You Chen to grasp his own soul information.

To truly understand Ignis's soul is difficult, and it's hard to grasp it accurately.

As the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger," meaning that information can become distorted during transmission. Furthermore, the Rashomon effect exists, where individual cognitive biases lead to erroneous memories; as long as it is observed subjectively, the truth and facts can be buried.

These fallacies are the main reason why You Chen has been unable to take the crucial step.

You Chen could only force Ignis to conform to his own understanding, which meant that if Ignis relayed the information incorrectly once, and You Chen relayed it again, that would be two incorrect interpretations, resulting in an enormous error.

However, once Inspiration Burst leads to extraordinary Wisdom God Position, the problem is easily solved.

Since the soul is an abstract concept, we only need to define standards to make it concrete.

The color of the soul is determined by a special secret method that allows people to define the color of the soul according to the method, transforming the abstract into the concrete, so that Ignis can exert her own subjective initiative.

This approach is similar to dimensionality reduction. It transforms previously unrecognizable concepts into concrete data, which can then be used in formulas for calculation.

Even with You Chen's Wisdom God Position, he felt a sense of awe and enlightenment after arriving at this solution.

According to the Soul Color Phase Method, he completely transformed the problem of Martial Soul Fusion into a mathematical problem, and successfully calculated the soul color value, similar to RGB values, required for himself and Ignis to achieve fusion.

However, even the soul color value was still a bit abstract for Ignis. Fortunately, You Chen could directly use real-world colors for Ignis to compare, so the difference wasn't too great.

Just one month after You Chen comprehended the Soul Color Phase Method...

In the North Sea Region, there is an uninhabited, deserted island.

"My lord, we've succeeded!"

Ignis hugged You Chen's arm and let out a joyful cheer. In her excitement, her fat also bounced around, making quite a fuss.

"Let's get started without delay."

You Chen remained quite calm.

It's mainly because I ate too much. Although I'm not in a complete sage mode, my cravings aren't as strong anymore.

Seeing You Chen's calm demeanor, Ignis also composed herself.

The main reason is that this project has been going on for a long time without any sign of success. Today, the project has suddenly made a leap forward, and even with Ignis's current maturity, she can't help but feel excited.

The secret technique for entering the Martial Soul Fusion state, like a switch, is very difficult, but it is much simpler than the Soul Color Phase Method.

After reaching the required compatibility, You Chen and Ignis simultaneously activated the fusion technique, causing their Martial Soul to resonate deeply.

There was no need for close contact; they were only within a certain distance. Then, they activated this secret technique, and the phenomenon of Martial Soul Fusion occurred. The two figures merged together under the bright light, just like fusion magic cards.

As for those embarrassing fusion lines... we already know from the fusion of the Hell White Tiger that this was completely unnecessary; it's just the immature, chuunibyou (delusional) behavior of young Soul Master. It just shows their low level of education.

The fusion of Soul Power leads to the integration of the physical body, spirit, and Martial Soul.

You Chen could sense that he was far superior to Ignis in every aspect.

The smaller the difference in various values between the two Martial Soul Fusion, the lower the difficulty of fusion and the higher the amplification after fusion.

After breaking through to the Soul Sage and Martial Soul Evolution to the Super Domain, Ignis's strength had reached the threshold of the Titled Douluo level. If she used her 100,000-year Martial Soul Avatar, she could even fight a Titled Douluo head-on.

This level of strength is definitely not weak.

The goal of the fusion between You Chen and Ignis is that one is the primary element and the other is the secondary element, so a certain difference does not affect the fusion effect.

Just like the Hell White Tiger, the Evil Eye White Tiger Soul Master is often stronger than the Hell Spirit Cat Soul Master.

Ignis's combat power is at least at the level of a Title Douluo, and her overall quality is at least at the level of Soul Douluo. Even if she were to Martial Soul Fusion with Titled Douluo, she would not become a burden.

However, You Chen's overall abilities have now surpassed those of the God Officer, reaching the strength of Third-Level God...

Given such a disparity, logically speaking, there is absolutely no possibility of successful integration.

But how could You Chen not have foreseen such a situation?

Long ago, he developed a method to forcibly suppress his Essence, Qi, and Spirit during this process.

And after the Inspiration Burst, he also made further improvements to this secret method.

This means not only suppressing himself, but also transferring as much of that suppressing power as possible to Ignis.

With this increase and decrease, the attribute gap between You Chen and Ignis was significantly reduced.

Although a lot of energy will inevitably be lost and wasted in the process, it was not You Chen's original purpose to enhance his strength with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You Chen only wanted to successfully fuse and use this opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of Martial Soul Fusion and Evolution.

With so much groundwork laid in the beginning, any further twists and turns would make You Chen and the system seem utterly useless.

Therefore... this time the progress was as smooth as You Chen had predicted.

A "Salvation Stardust Dragon" over twenty meters long appeared in the sky above the deserted island.

(Salvation Stardust Dragon)

Clearly, this is Martial Soul Fusion Skill similar to the Hell White Tiger, which involves "fusion with the Martial Soul Avatar".

This is undoubtedly the strongest type of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

In the original timeline, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger technique, used during their initial title-granting phase, was already incredibly close to god-level.

It's important to understand that the difference in strength between someone who has just entered the title stage and someone who is infinitely close to godhood, which is at least level 99, is not just a matter of doubling or tripling. The difference in Soul Power alone is enough to achieve a crushing defeat, not to mention that the difference between Limit Douluo and an ordinary Douluo is far more than just a difference in Soul Power.

Dai Mubai and the other two weren't the kind of people in later generations who had overpowered abilities; they were just Tang San's accessories, relying on Tang San's fortuitous soup to become Titled Douluo. As for their combat power increase... saying that their combat power directly increased tenfold would be a conservative estimate.

You Chen used a secret technique to balance his own strength with Ignis's and achieve fusion, wasting more than 90% of his energy in the process, which was roughly equivalent to a demigod fusing with a Super Douluo.

He could sense that, after the weakened state and the Martial Soul Fusion, he had once again leaped from a demigod to the peak strength of God Officer.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill was indeed a success!

Only...

You Chen used his Divine Sense to observe his own image.

It seems that because only the Crimson Underworld Dragon was used as the fusion material, the Salvation Stardust Dragon's body, which should have been as pure as crystal, was covered with dark red magic patterns.

It's less Salvation Stardust Dragon and more Salvation Stardust Demon Dragon, or perhaps Salvation Demon Stardust Dragon.

He could sense that this fusion was not perfect.

Not only did an Innate Domain in its nascent stage fail to materialize, but the Sacrifice Sanctuary also became unusable after the Martial Soul changed.

This means that after this fusion, there will basically only be a numerical increase.

However... even so, it's still quite satisfactory.

'How is it, my lord? Is there a problem?'

Ignis's worried voice echoed in his mind, as if she was concerned that he might not perform well enough and thus hinder You Chen's progress.

You Chen immediately reassured her, "It's alright, Ignis. I'm just sensing the changes after the Martial Soul Fusion. This evolution has broken the theoretical limits of Martial Soul. Ignis, although the Salvation Demon Stardust Dragon's Martial Soul Avatar is based on my Martial Soul, you can still benefit from it. Carefully contemplate it; it will be good for your future cultivation."

Ignis quickly replied, "Yes, my lord." Then she fell silent, seemingly going off to truly comprehend the changes in the Martial Soul Origin.

You Chen has already reached the level of a god, but he still puts a lot of effort into his Martial Soul, and there is a reason for that.

Martial Soul have their limits. As a gift from heaven and earth to mortal beings, they will naturally lose their powerful amplification after reaching a certain level.

Just like the many unique phenomena of the lower realms in the Divine Realm, as the gods gradually progressed, the methods used in the lower realms were rarely used.

Martial Soul, as unique abilities born from the special lower realm of Douluo Star, have a higher potential than other special abilities from other lower realms.

As long as the energy level is sufficient, it can still be effective even after becoming a god.

However, reaching the First-Level God is the upper limit. If you want to go further, your Martial Soul will become a hindrance.

That's why, after becoming a god, Poseidon separated the Trident of the Sea God and reforged it to carry the God Authority before forging it into a divine weapon of the king.

Weapon-type Martial Soul are relatively easy to separate, but possessed Martial Soul souls like Qian Renxue's Angelic Angel Martial Soul are not so easy to separate.

Therefore, even if Qian Renxue becomes a god, it is basically impossible for her to go any further; First-Level God is the upper limit.

But Martial Soul are by no means useless.

Based on You Chen's current mastery of the fourth level of Martial Soul Origin power, he knew that Martial Soul was an excellent tool and amplifier for outputting authority and laws.

As long as the authority and the Martial Soul are identical, taking Qian Renxue as an example, after stepping into the realm of First-Level God, it is easy for her to possess the combat power of a top-level First-Level God.

Furthermore, if Martial Soul can continue to break through and evolve, it will be the best guide for a god-level Soul Master to advance further.

For example, if the characteristics of a godhood are the same as those of Martial Soul, and one is only Third-Level God when becoming a god, it is entirely possible to further elevate the godhood to Second-Level God after becoming a god!

You Chen knew that his Martial Soul had an even stronger evolutionary form, so naturally he had no intention of giving up the path of Martial Soul.

You Chen currently possesses both divine body and Divine Sense, but his Soul Power has not yet reached the divine level. Due to insufficient energy input, the amplification brought by his Martial Soul is no longer keeping up with his current strength. However, if his Soul Power undergoes a transformation, it will be a different story.

Only Soul Power is outdated; super Martial Soul are not.

After You Chen understood and recognized the role and constraints of Martial Soul after becoming a god, he realized that simply using the classification of super Martial Soul and god-level Martial Soul was not so accurate.

All Soul Master who can become gods are guaranteed to have a Super Martial Soul.

Even if one only becomes God Officer, there is still the potential to advance to at least Third-Level God.

In other words, the quality of super Martial Soul is further divided based on their potential after becoming a god, into Third-Level God- level, Level Second-Level God First-Level God- level, and God King Level. The difference in strength between Level First-Level God- level and God King Level is too great; perhaps a Quasi-God King Level should be added in between.

The Dragon God is roughly equivalent to having a God King Level Martial Soul in its physical form. With its own God King Level cultivation and the amplification of its God King Level Martial Soul, its strength far exceeds that of ordinary God King Level.

You Chen and Qian Renxue had clashed. The Stardust Dragon Martial Soul was not much weaker than the Angel Martial Soul. However, below the God level, the gap between super Martial Soul was not too large. Moreover, Qian Renxue's Angel Martial Soul had not yet grown six wings at that time, nor was it at its peak.

Therefore, You Chen was not certain that the Stardust Dragon Martial Soul was First-Level God Martial Soul.

However, after so much time has passed, through his research on the Stardust Power, he knows that the Stardust Dragon is definitely no less than First-Level God.

Just like the Angel Martial Soul hadn't reached its peak, so too has the Stardust Dragon Martial Soul, which has just completed its evolution.

And now, it has evolved once again.

You Chen had a sudden realization: the Salvation Demon Stardust Dragon Martial Soul had not yet broken through the barrier of the God King Level Martial Soul and truly broken the world's upper limit, but it could at least be rated as a Quasi-God King Level.

The Hell White Tiger is significantly weaker, estimated to be only at the level of First-Level God, which is equivalent to a top-tier super Martial Soul.

The strength of his own Martial Soul, combined with the fusion of the Soul Power of two Titled Douluo Soul Master, multiplied together, brought him to a combat power that was infinitely close to that of God Officer.

Otherwise, if the strength of the Martial Soul were to take another step forward and reach the Quasi-God King Level, it would be enough to break the gap between humans and gods, not just infinitely close to God Officer, but a true God Officer -level combat power.

With higher base stats for You Chen and Ignis, and the Salvation Demon Stardust Dragon being a level above the Hell White Tiger, it's not surprising that they unleashed peak God Officer- level power.

If Ignis could keep up with You Chen's improvement and reach the level of Super Douluo, with her overall stats approaching those of Limit Douluo, and with the help of this energy-balancing secret technique, You Chen could probably possess the power of Second-Level God ahead of schedule.

You Chen sealed off the surrounding space and, in the form of the Salvation Demon Stardust Dragon, unleashed his power on the deserted island and the sea. It took a full ten minutes for the two to disintegrate.

'It's time to complete Bibi Dong's mission and try to Martial Soul Evolution into Meteor Dragon.'

You Chen thought to himself silently.

Although their evolutionary paths are different, their pre-evolutionary forms are the same, so they have many things in common.

Having experienced the power of the Stardust Dragon's incompletely evolved Martial Soul Origin, and with some insights gained during his Inspiration Burst, he felt more confident about completing the Stardust Dragon's evolution.

Everything is ready except for the final push. The Martial Soul Evolution and the unification of the continent to obtain the power of all living beings are not contradictory; rather, they are things that can be accomplished in parallel. Therefore, he naturally does not need to wait any longer.

The perspective shifts to the Star Luo Empire.

You Chen's act of standing up for Amona that day ultimately sowed the seeds of future trouble.

The Star Luo Empire royal family dared not break the rules of the game and forcibly dethrone Amona, so they chose to spread rumors in an attempt to shake Amona's rule.

These rumors are neither excessive nor demonizing of the facts.

The question was merely raised whether the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce president had informed Monaldo before taking action.

People then speculated that Amona was actually unwilling to be subordinate to her teacher.

Or it could explain some doubts that may be true or false.

People began to suspect that the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce had planned this all along.

Then there's the matter of Monaldo faking illness to deceive everyone.

This once again terrified the Star Luo Empire nobles involved.

Similar rumors are not isolated cases.

After all, the Beast Soul Alliance's swift capture of the Star Luo Empire led to numerous major and minor incidents during the process.

You Chen killing the former Star Luo Emperor in public was only the biggest part of the whole affair.
