Sovereign's Might was ultimately a one-use item. Once the opponent dragged things out, Fanny would undoubtedly become a lamb awaiting slaughter.
That was why Simon had so sternly told Fanny not to take it out again.
Sovereign's Might
Hell was no kind place. Bandits and all manner of outlaws were the most common sights here.
But Fanny did not care.
"Hehe, only Grandpa and I know about this. What are you afraid of, Simon? Besides, I have two drops. How about I give you one?"
Fanny merely put away one drop of Sovereign's Might, leaving the other in her palm.
"Don't refuse yet."
Fanny knew Simon would not readily accept something so precious from her, so she continued.
"Simon, you're a Soul Mutator, and now you've fused two Heterogeneous Profound Mysteries. Your strength is no weaker than a Six-Star Fiend's, and your Ice-Wind Domain is so special. This drop of Sovereign's Might can only truly display its power in your hands."
"Listen to me and accept it, okay? That way, you can protect me better."
Simon fell silent for a long while. Looking into Fanny's pure, sincere eyes, he knew that the beautiful young woman before him had already regarded him as the most important person in her life.
She did not hesitate to give him something as precious as Sovereign's Might.
"Alright..."
Simon accepted the Sovereign Power of Fire in Fanny's hand. He knew that if he refused, Fanny would not let the matter rest.
At heart, they were the same kind of people. Both wanted to share their best things with the other.
Simon could only silently remember Fanny's kindness and swear in his heart that he would never let her down in this lifetime.
I said I wouldn't live off others after transmigrating, but who knew I wouldn't get a single break from this soft rice?
Simon laughed bitterly to himself.
But it really is delicious...
"Hehe, that's my good Simon."
"Mm..."
Fanny happily kissed Simon.
Now that Simon's strength had greatly improved and he also possessed Sovereign's Might, he felt even more confident about the journey ahead.
The two leaned against each other tenderly for a while longer, sharing many heartfelt words.
In the end, Fanny fell asleep in Simon's arms.
Looking at Fanny, who slept without the slightest guard up, Simon's heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.
Holding Fanny in his arms, Simon once more immersed his consciousness in the Ocean of Laws.
The water and wind elements had successfully fused, but Wind Space and the Profound Mystery of Wind Element had yet to fuse.
Wind Space and Water Element Essence had only fused a little over halfway as well.
After discovering that hazy, intangible "spatial" property,
Simon's understanding of the Law of Wind deepened even further.
He almost effortlessly broke through the bottleneck and successfully fused Wind Space with the Profound Mystery of Wind Element.
From that point on, Simon's Ice Wind Space entered version 3.0.
Since he was holding Fanny and was also inside the Metal Lifeform, it was inconvenient for Simon to demonstrate it directly.
Thus, he visualized and simulated Ice Wind Space in his mind, creating 365 threads of divine power that spread along deeper "spatial" ripples, while forming a new version of Ice Wind Space according to the fused Profound Mysteries of Wind Space and the Profound Mystery of Wind Element.
Then Simon formed another version of Ice Wind Space based on his insights from fusing the Profound Mystery of Wind Element with Water Element Essence.
After comparing the two, Simon discovered that the Ice Wind Space formed from the fusion of water and wind elements possessed slightly stronger binding force.
Thus, he temporarily chose the latter as version 3.0 of Ice Wind Space.
As for version 4.0, that would come after he fully fused Wind Space into it.
"Even a Six-Star Fiend would find it hard to move an inch under such powerful binding force. Even a Seven-Star Fiend would have to shed a layer of skin."
Feeling the terrifying binding force contained within Ice Wind Space, Simon nodded in satisfaction.
He then began researching techniques based on the fusion of the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and Water Element Essence.
Because he had understood the "spatial" property, Simon now had a new idea.
He remembered that Linley had once created the astonishing ultimate technique, "Inch of Earth, Span of Heaven."
Although that technique had only fused Four Profundities of Earth, because of Linley's special application of them, its effect against enemies was fully comparable to techniques that fused five Profound Mysteries.
Simon now had a similar idea.
Based on the initial inspiration behind Ice Wind Space and combined with his current insights, he planned to shrink the domain until it could be used for single-target attacks, while adding powerful material attack force.
It would crush and bind the enemy while attacking them.
No sooner thought than done.
Simon separated out his Wind Element Divine Clone.
Holding the Wind-Annihilation Divine Sword, the Wind Element Divine Clone stood to the side. Immediately, 365 strands of Cyan-Blue Fused Divine Power formed a small domain at the sword tip according to the insights of version 3.0 Ice Wind Space.
Simon then slowly adjusted and refined it.
In the end, Simon successfully compressed the enormous Ice Wind Space domain to the sword tip, and could freely control its size.
It achieved the effect he had envisioned.
This ultimate technique had drawn inspiration from Linley's "Inch of Earth, Span of Heaven."
It was also related to the "spatial properties" and the two Heterogeneous Profound Mysteries of water and wind elements.
He would call it "Ice-Wind Prison."
With that, Simon gained another ultimate technique.
When the Wind-Annihilation Divine Sword subsequently unleashed Ice-Wind Prison, 365 threads of Cyan-Blue Divine Power extended from its tip, weaving together along specific trajectories to form a sealed space several meters wide.
The binding force within this space was so powerful that even Simon was alarmed. At the same time, spatial rifts continuously tore open outside the miniature space.
The moment he saw the spatial rifts appear, Simon was so frightened that he hurriedly dispersed Ice-Wind Prison.
"With this ultimate technique, combined with the large-scale Ice Wind Space domain, my methods for fighting enemies have finally taken shape."
Simon's future enemies would have to endure his Dual Binding. Those only slightly stronger than him would likely be reduced to less than one percent of their full strength.
Those weaker than him would have no ability to resist at all, while even those far stronger than him could have the gap in strength greatly narrowed through these two methods.
Furthermore, even if Simon only used the material attack formed by fusing the wind and water elements, he could now easily tear open Hell's space.
In just a few short days, Simon's strength had undergone another earth-shaking transformation.
All that could be said was that Soul Mutation combined with supreme cultivation talent truly possessed endless possibilities!
In the empty Hell Wilderness, Kenchi's Leopard-shaped Metal Lifeform continued onward alone.
This time, he planned to stop at the Dat Tribe outside Anzi City in Brook Prefecture to purchase a batch of local tribal specialties, then head directly to Lier City in Mons Prefecture.
Once they reached Lier City, Simon and the others' mission would be complete.
However, Yanshan City was extremely far from Anzi City. Even with Kenchi's Metal Lifeform flying at full speed, the journey would take nearly two years.
According to Kenchi's arrangements, they would not approach any cities along the way during those two years.
They would travel straight to their destination, the Dat Tribe.
None of the Fiends had any objections. So long as the mission's final destination was Lier City and they did not deliberately take detours along the way,
the Fiends who had accepted the mission would follow their employer's arrangements.
Inside the room, Fanny finally woke up.
She saw Simon's Wind Element Divine Clone still continuously demonstrating and adjusting some ultimate technique.
Meanwhile, Simon's main body had been holding her the entire time.
"Simon, did you comprehend another new technique?"
Even from a short distance away, Fanny could clearly sense the terrifying crushing and binding force contained within Ice-Wind Prison.
Such powerful binding force far surpassed that of the version 2.0 Ice Wind Space Simon had previously demonstrated to her.
"This technique is called Ice-Wind Prison. It's a single-target attack technique I developed after fully fusing the water and wind elements. It contains powerful material attack force while also carrying terrifying crushing and binding force."
Simon explained.
"However, it's still newly created, and many details still need adjustment."
"Wow, Simon, you're so smart. Why can you come up with so many ultimate techniques? I can only foolishly use the basic Profound Mysteries. Even after fusing them, the increase in strength is pretty ordinary."
Ice-Wind Prison
Seeing Simon's endless stream of ultimate techniques, Fanny felt deeply moved.
"Everyone's talents are different. It's enough to be yourself. Besides, I developed so many ultimate techniques to protect you."
"Hehe~"
"Simon, you're so good to me."
After snuggling in Simon's arms for a while, Fanny got up and began cultivating as well.
The battles she had experienced during this period had also brought Fanny many gains.
The greatest of them was successfully making the Profound Mystery of Fire Element compatible with Fire Body Art.
Fanny had been delighted about this for quite some time.
As long as Fanny successfully fused these two Profound Mysteries, her speed would greatly increase, and her methods for fighting enemies would become more varied.
Furthermore, if Fanny could next make the Profound Mystery of Explosion compatible with Fire Body Art, she would have hope of fully fusing all three Profound Mysteries.
Thus, Fanny was now even more motivated to cultivate. If she successfully fused three Profound Mysteries by the time she returned to the clan, she would definitely shock her grandfather and grandmother.
