The Bottleneck of Fusion Profundity

Lynn spent ten thousand Ink Stones to purchase a violet crystal, then placed it directly in his palm as powerful Soul Power surged out from his Soul Space.

The next moment—

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

A tiny electric serpent flew out and swallowed the translucent violet crystal whole.

In the blink of an eye, the electric serpent spat out a small piece of waste before carrying a large amount of golden mist back into Lynn's Soul Space.

In an instant, the violet crystal had been completely refined!

"Sure enough, while I don't cultivate the Laws of Death, my Soul Power is even stronger than a Paragon's! Refining violet crystals is practically using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!" Lynn's eyes lit up as he instructed the clerk behind the counter, "Give me a thousand violet crystals!"

After buying violet crystals and books, Lynn wandered into the area selling divine artifacts.

He needed to prepare high-level divine artifacts and high-level defensive divine artifacts for his main body, Dark Divine Clone, Lightning Divine Clone, and the Flame Divine Clone that was about to become a god.

Of course, the Lightning Divine Clone already had a high-level divine artifact longsword, while his main body had Sky Radiance. Thus, he only needed to buy two more offensive high-level divine artifacts and four defensive high-level divine artifacts.

After careful selection, everything was settled.

He chose a high-level divine artifact dagger for the Dark Divine Clone, a high-level divine artifact battleaxe for the Flame Divine Clone, and then spent a huge sum on four full-body armor defensive divine artifacts.

With that, he was fully armed.

After leaving Muya Castle, Lynn looked up and realized that the Blood Sun had already passed its zenith. It was now afternoon.

"I'll find an inn first!"

All cities in Hell enforced curfews. No one was allowed to move about within the city at night, and violators would be executed without exception. If residents of the surrounding tribes came to the city to sell goods, they generally went and returned on the same day rather than spend money on an inn.

After paying four hundred Ink Stones for a year's stay at an inn, Lynn went to a restaurant in the city and feasted.

In Hell's restaurants, as long as you wanted it and could afford it, you could eat anything—things from the Celestial Realm, the Divine Realm, the Netherworld... magical beasts, divine beasts...

And all of it was prepared by master chefs. The flavors were exceptionally delicious, leaving Lynn full of praise.

That night, in the quiet and elegant courtyard, Lynn sat cross-legged. Looking around at the courtyard, he quietly sighed, "I'm afraid I'll be staying here for a long time!"

The Dark Divine Clone and Lightning Divine Clone flew out from his body. Each found a spot of his own, familiarizing himself with his newly acquired divine artifacts while also developing ultimate moves suited to them.

Meanwhile, Lynn's main body refined violet crystals to strengthen his soul while comprehending the Complete Flame Law within his soul.

More than a year later.

Within that courtyard, suddenly—

"Buzz~~~"

A strange fluctuation of the Heaven and Earth Law descended, but no one paid any attention. Such things were far too common in Hell!

Gods in Hell were as numerous as hairs on an ox. Floating Light City alone had at least a hundred million gods!

Becoming a god was nothing unusual!

At that moment, Lynn's body floated into the air involuntarily, wrapped in the Heaven and Earth Law.

He closed his eyes. Suddenly, above his head—

"Sizzle, sizzle~"

A power containing the aura of "laws" began to condense. At the same time, massive amounts of Fire Element gathered, eventually forming a fire elemental divine spark.

Then, as Lynn chose to become a god outside his body, his soul split in two once more.

A Lynn clad in a crimson robe with long crimson hair was born out of thin air. It was his Fire Element Divine Clone.

A moment later, the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Law dissipated!

Another "Lynn" now stood in the courtyard.

The crimson battleaxe fell into his hand, while a high-level divine artifact in the form of full-body armor flew out and slowly merged into his body.

Lynn's main body opened his eyes. Though his face was somewhat pale, he could not help but smile. "Another clone, but in order to save time, the Fire Element Divine Clone comprehended Fire Element. Its combat strength is the weakest among my three divine clones!"

"However, with the Complete Flame Element Law, the Fire Element Divine Clone's combat strength will soon surpass that of the Dark Divine Clone!"

"Continue cultivating!"

The Dark Divine Clone cultivated the Laws of Darkness, the Flame Divine Clone comprehended the Complete Flame Element Law, while Lynn's main body and Lightning Divine Clone focused on comprehending the Complete Lightning Element Law!

With Lynn's cost-be-damned investment, the first thing to recover was his soul.

When he formed the Flame Divine Clone, his soul split once more. Restoring a soul stronger than a Paragon's required an outrageous number of violet crystals. Fortunately, Lynn had plenty of money and could buy enough violet crystals to refine.

Finally, in the third year after his Fire Element Divine Clone became a god, his soul had fully recovered and reached its limit. It could no longer absorb the Soul Power within violet crystals.

At this point, Lynn roughly estimated that his soul's strength was around a hundred times that of a Paragon's (when becoming a Demigod and a God, the Heaven and Earth Law had descended and strengthened it twice)!

In terms of sheer quality, it was already as powerful as Linley's Four-element Soul Mutation—ten times stronger than even Sovereign's Might!

Such powerful Soul Power naturally allowed him to comprehend the laws at an astonishing pace.

In the sixteenth year after becoming a god of the fire element, the Heaven and Earth Law descended once more. Lynn successfully fused the Flame Element and Scorching Heat Profundities of the Flame Law, and his Fire Element Divine Clone became a God.

His progress with the lightning element, however, was far less smooth. Even with both his main body and Lightning Element Clone comprehending it at full capacity, his progress remained mediocre. He had barely comprehended most of the "Flicker" Profundity and begun merging it with the Lightning Element Profundity, but when it came to fusing Flicker with the Power of Judgment, he hit a bottleneck.

He couldn't understand it!

The method of fusion and the result after fusion were laid out plainly before him, yet his comprehension ability was insufficient. He simply couldn't understand it!

That was perfectly normal. After all, in the libraries of his previous life, books on "calculus," "probability theory," and the like could fill several large bookshelves, but very few people could become great mathematicians simply by reading them.

And Lynn was stuck right there. The Fusion Profundity formed from "Flicker," "Lightning Element," and "Power of Judgment" was displayed plainly before him for him to comprehend, yet he simply could not make sense of it!

One had to know that comprehending the fusion of three Profundities was at least several hundred times harder than fusing two!

Even in Hell, a Six-star Demon could absolutely be considered a powerhouse!

"Should I fuse them two at a time first?" The thought flashed through Lynn's mind.

Profundities could be fused as a whole, or separately.

For example, with the three Profundities of "Flicker," "Lightning Element," and "Power of Judgment," he could first fuse "Flicker" with "Lightning Element," "Lightning Element" with "Power of Judgment," and "Flicker" with "Power of Judgment."

That would form three dual-fusion Profundities. Then, he could fuse those three dual-fusion Profundities two at a time. Since they shared common Profundities as bridges between them, the difficulty of fusion would be much lower.

Right now, however, he was directly attempting to fuse the three Profundities of "Flicker," "Lightning Element," and "Power of Judgment." Fusing three Profundities simultaneously was naturally far more difficult!

But if he fused them separately, it would take far too much time!
