The fusion of the Spirit Bone had begun, meaning this sacrifice had reached its most crucial stage.
"Spirit Soul Contract!"
Enduring the pain in his body, Xu Tianming shouted sharply.
Snow Empress's spiritual power and Ye Ling's spiritual power emerged from their bodies simultaneously, together outlining a strange formation beneath their feet.
The moment the formation took shape, Snow Empress's nearly invisible body trembled.
A strange orb of light rose from her head and entered Ye Ling's brow.
Snow Empress's phantom body completely dissipated from this space at that moment.
Roar!
A deafening dragon's roar erupted from within Xu Tianming's body.
A somewhat illusory dragon-shaped creature appeared behind Xu Tianming.
"What powerful dragon might!"
Snow Empress, whose spiritual origin had entered Xu Tianming's Sea of Consciousness, took on the form of a young girl, surprise appearing on her face.
"Just what kind of Martial Soul is this..."
Before Snow Empress could finish speaking, a strange power suddenly erupted from the dragon-shaped phantom behind Xu Tianming.
Snow Empress felt that part of the origin power she had infused into Xu Tianming's body had actually been fused by his second Martial Soul.
This fusion was not like attaching a Soul Ring to a Martial Soul.
It was more like the fusion that occurred when she sacrificed herself to Xu Tianming.
[Second Martial Soul, Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon Martial Soul, has begun mutating!]
The system's emotionless voice rang in Xu Tianming's mind once more.
Xu Tianming, who was enduring the pain of the Spirit Bone fusion, froze for a moment.
He had thought the Martial Soul mutation was already over. He had not expected it to have only just begun.
Four orange-gold Soul Rings appeared beneath Xu Tianming's feet, while the dragon-shaped phantom behind him became somewhat more solid.
