Perfect Fusion

Within Su Ming's Mental Sea.

All the ruinous cracks caused by reaching his limit were healing at an astonishing speed.

The Mental Sea that had been on the verge of destruction began to condense once more.

The intense pain remained, and the sensation of destruction still resurfaced in Su Ming's mental world from time to time.

Yet its core was exceptionally firm and stable. As his entire Mental Sea continuously tore apart and recovered, it grew ever stronger.

More than half an hour of agonizing torment finally passed.

The aura surrounding Su Ming gradually stabilized.

It was no longer filled solely with the Demon Empress's cold, evil aura intertwining around him.

Su Ming's body had also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Nourished by the Demon Empress's origin power under Sea God Kyogre's guidance,

Su Ming's muscles, meridians, fascia, blood vessels, and internal organs had all become countless times tougher than before.

The bones throughout his body had visibly grown somewhat as well, broadening his shoulders and making his frame slightly taller.

His skin even shone with a pearl- and jade-like luster, making him appear extraordinarily noble within this underwater cave.

The Demon Empress gave me more than one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! Su Ming swiftly examined his condition.

He then reached a conclusion that filled him with immense delight.

That was right. Su Ming now possessed the Spirit Bones provided by the Demon Empress.

This was the greatest difference between a perfect Fusion Sacrifice and an ordinary sacrifice.

When an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast performed a sacrifice, it would directly sacrifice its soul ring first, then sacrifice its Spirit Bone.

But in a perfect Fusion Sacrifice, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast first fused its origin power, Spirit Bones, and every other essence into the soul master's body.

Only then would it carry out the soul ring sacrifice.

That was precisely why the pain produced by a Fusion Sacrifice was so exaggerated.

However, where there was risk, there was naturally a corresponding reward.

The boost a Fusion Sacrifice—especially a perfect Fusion Sacrifice—gave a soul master was undoubtedly absurdly immense.

Even Huo Yuhao from the original story had risen from a useless nobody to a top genius in an instant.

So there was even less need to mention an unparalleled genius like Su Ming.

Keep your mind steady and wait for the Demon Empress.

Su Ming did not divert his attention to closely inspect the two Spirit Bones within his body.

After all, the sacrifice process had not yet completely ended.

It finally succeeded. Watching this scene, the Demon Empress, whose body had nearly become transparent and was weak to the point of collapse, was delighted as well.

They had succeeded. They had achieved perfect fusion.

Now, only the final step remained.

Moreover, compared to the torment from before, this step would be incomparably simple and easy.

"Su Ming, release the Sky God's Martial Soul. I am about to perform the final sacrifice!"

The Demon Empress, who was nearly about to dissipate, immediately reminded Su Ming.

He had endured all that pain before. If something went wrong during this final stage, it would truly all have been for nothing.

"Alright!" Su Ming opened his eyes and immediately released his Rayquaza Martial Soul.

The phantom of the Sky Dragon appeared above him, and its resounding dragon roar seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.

So this is the Sky God?! Lan Fozu, who was hiding in the distance and watching everything unfold, stared in shock.

Although she had already learned from her mother, the Demon Empress, just how terrifying the origins of Su Ming's Three-Life Martial Soul were,

seeing them manifest one after another gave her a firsthand sensation far beyond anything she had imagined before.

The Sky God could truly be called the Dragon God without any exaggeration.

Upon seeing the manifestation of the Sky God Rayquaza, the Demon Empress did not immediately begin the final sacrifice.

Instead, she gazed at the phantom of the Sky God Rayquaza with a peculiar look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Su Ming did not urge her. He simply gave the Demon Empress the time she needed.

Although the Demon Empress's true form was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a Sea Soul Beast,

as a transmigrator, Su Ming knew more about the grand ambition of their race.

That ambition was to transform into a dragon.

The former Deep Sea Demonic Whale King—namely, the Demon Empress's deceased husband—had truly succeeded in transforming into a dragon.

That was also why Su Ming chose to place the Demon Empress's soul ring onto his Rayquaza Martial Soul.

Rather than onto his Sea God Kyogre Martial Soul.

It was only a pity that there was something the former Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had not known.

He believed that once he transformed into a dragon and reached a true cultivation of one million years, becoming a god would be guaranteed.

But in reality, it was all as futile as drawing water with a bamboo basket.

So what if he transformed into a dragon?

So what if he possessed a million years of cultivation?

If the rules did not allow you to become a god, then you would never be able to become one.

...Sigh.

Just as Su Ming had thought, when the Demon Empress saw the figure of the Sky God Rayquaza Martial Soul this time,

she was reminded of her deceased husband by the sight before her.

But the Demon Empress quickly adjusted her emotions and looked firmly at Su Ming.

"Su Ming, prepare yourself!" The nearly transparent Demon Empress gave a soft cry.

Merely speaking those words seemed to have used up the last of her strength.

At that moment, the dark crimson blood surrounding the Demon Empress completely burned away, transforming into a massive scarlet-gold soul ring that enveloped Su Ming's body.

The red light finally solidified around the phantom of Rayquaza.

The bloody radiance added an additional aura of a god of slaughter to Rayquaza, whose presence had been incomparably sacred.

Not bad.

As he absorbed this soul ring, Su Ming's skin turned blood-red as well.

The meridians within his body throbbed violently, while his blood flowed at an outrageously rapid speed.

Even his spiritual power pulsed rapidly.

Naturally, it was a good thing for the human body to absorb powerful energy, but that was only on the premise that it could withstand the energy being absorbed.

Otherwise, it would become a great calamity.

That was why soul masters who absorbed soul rings beyond their limits would suffer ruptured meridians and become crippled at best, or explode and die at worst.

Fortunately, none of this was a major issue for Su Ming.

This amount of pain was far inferior to what the perfect fusion had just put Su Ming through.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency Demon Empress."

"I will definitely kill Tang San and revive you as soon as possible."

As the scarlet-gold soul ring around the Rayquaza Martial Soul completely solidified, the absorption process finally came to an end.

Su Ming did not immerse himself in his surging power. Instead, he felt gratitude toward the Demon Empress in his heart.

When drinking water, one must not forget the one who dug the well.

What Su Ming could do was improve himself and fulfill the agreement he had made with the Demon Empress as soon as possible.

This Fusion Sacrifice had undoubtedly granted him an outrageous increase in strength.

With this power supporting him, Su Ming believed that he would become a god even faster.
