Chapter 712: Fusion Between Death and the Glorious Sun
His bet with Fen Gongwuliang was to get Fengong Wuliang to finally give up on battling him – it was somewhat uncomfortable to know that he was on Fen Gongwuliang’s mind every day.
As for the Devil Refining Gourd, Ye Mo wasn’t worried about Fen Gongwuliang telling others about it – the more people knew about the gourd, the less his chances of getting the Devil Refining Gourd for himself.
Ye Mo had thought about killing him outright, but his current powers didn’t allow him to do so. But his woman could. With powers in the Profound Heavens Realm, if she really wanted to do it, she would be able to kill Fen Gongwuliang with a single move.
But, with Fen Gongwuliang’s elder brother the city master of the Burning Flame City, with powers in the intermediate stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, if he found out that his brother died at the hands of Yao Yue, trouble would ensue.
“Yao Yue, let’s go back. Wait for me to stabilize my powers in a few days, and I’ll start cultivating the Ice Fire Spear Aura.”
Ye Mo pulled Yao Yue’s icy-cold, pet.i.te hand along and returned to the Castellan Estate.
Cultivating the Ice Fire Spear Aura was extremely easy. But that wasn’t Ye Mo’s goal. He wanted to attempt to fuse the Powers of Death with the Powers of the Glorious Sun. By combining those two extremely contrasting powers together, he wanted to fuse the combination into his Caged Dragon Powers.
At the moment, it took the combination of the Giant Dragon Powers, Powers of the Glorious Sun and the Asura Powers for the Caged Dragon Powers to form. If he managed to cultivate the fusion of the Powers of Death, a new type of power would be created.
But the Powers of Death and the Powers of the Glorious Sun were extremely contradictory powers. Without proper preparation, it would be extremely reckless for Ye Mo to attempt it.
Therefore, for the next few days, Ye Mo and Yao Yue spent their time discussing the fusion of wills.
“You’re talking about the fusion of two contrasting wills?” Yao Yue questioned him.
“That’s right.” Ye Mo nodded. “You’re a fighter who utilizes wills as well – you once displayed three wills at once. We can talk about this.”
“It will be difficult to combine two opposing wills together.” Yao Yue shook her head, deep in thought.
Seeing her expression of deep thought, Ye Mo could barely keep himself from giving her a kiss. Really, Yao Yue and Qi Ying had somewhat opposing personalities.
One was cold as ice, one was pa.s.sionate like fire.
“The two of us being together could perhaps help me to understand the fusion of the Will of Ice and Will of Fire.” Ye Mo chuckled as he started to meditate.
Constant discussions, trial and errors and attempts proceeded, taking up a whole week.
Ye Mo finally made his mind up about cultivating the Ice Fire Spear Aura.
Holding the mini long spear in his hand, he knew that it was a spear aura cultivated by a Profound Realm fighter for hundreds of years. If he managed to fully cultivate it, he would instantly be able to completely control it, equivalent to reaping the rewards of a century’s worth of training.
But normal people couldn’t even achieve that. Since different spear auras wouldn’t fuse with each other, this represented a huge risk. Only someone as unique as Ye Mo was capable of achieving such a feat.
Ye Mo swallowed the spear aura. Instantly, he felt a wave of heat, followed by a wave of cold. The two sensations rotating turns with each other caused him to feel as if he was reaching his climax.
But the sensation did not last long. As it slowly dissipated, it meant that Ye Mo had completely cultivated it.
With a wave of his finger, a force combining ice and fire was formed, then faded away.
This intrigued Ye Mo. He was curious – while the Ice Fire Fusion was powerful, he felt that it was far from the amount of power exhibited by Zi Ning when using her Ice Fire Taiji Sword.
“This Ice Fire Spear Aura cultivated by a Profound Realm fighter can’t even compare with that of a Heaven’s Strength Realm fighter?” Ye Mo shook his head and didn’t give it any further thought. He resumed his deep state of training.
The cultivation of the Ice Fire Spear Aura was just the beginning. The real deal was the combination of the Power of Death and the Power of the Glorious Sun.
Once the fusion was successful, the power of the Caged Dragon Powers would be boosted extremely. The boost was in terms of quality – 10 rays of Caged Dragon Powers would be equivalent to 13 or even 15 rays of Caged Dragon Powers.
“My Powers of Death can only be utilized when I display the Will of Death. Even if I can fuse that with the Caged Dragon Powers, it won’t be easy.”
Ye Mo also knew that the two opposing forces were like a spear and a s.h.i.+eld clas.h.i.+ng against each other.
But, after discussion with Yao Yue, Ye Mo thought about the logic behind the Ice Fire Fusion. The Powers of Death wouldn’t fuse completely with the Powers of the Glorious Sun. Instead, it would fuse with the Asura Powers.
The Asura Powers and the Powers of Death were originally the same power types. Combining those two together would be far easier than the combination of normal powers.
There were two powers inside Ye Mo’s Energy Center – the Powers of Death and the Powers of the Glorious Sun. As he started the fusion, it was as if two venomous snakes intertwined with each other.
But the two powers started to reject each other. The fusion process wasn’t as easy as he had imagined after all.
As time pa.s.sed, the two sources of powers were pressed against each other.
But, at the same time, Ye Mo felt as if his body was starting to combust.
The Asura Powers had long since combined with the Powers of the Glorious Sun. Now, the combination of those two powers led to the fusion of the Powers of the Glorious Sun and the Powers of Death – a pa.s.sive fusion.
The thing that would enable Ye Mo to start the fusion was the active Glorious Sun.
For a pa.s.sive fusion, all Ye Mo had to do to achieve true fusion was to endure the pain of the two powers combining together.
“Ah!” Ye Mo yelled out in pain. The Powers of Death had erupted and started to destroy like the grim reaper, destroying Ye Mo’s body and plunging his entirety in death.
But the Light of the Glorious Sun started to erupt, descending down like an angel and healing Ye Mo’s body, building everything back.
Destroy, repair, destroy, repair.
Ye Mo was on the verge of losing consciousness.
The fusion of the two powers repeated this process of destruction and repair.
After a hundred of those cycles had gone by, Ye Mo’s body and mind were numb.
“Combining two opposing forces together – it isn’t easy.” Ling’er, already at Ye Mo’s side, frowned as she looked at him.
Having known Ye Mo for so long, even though Ye Mo’s various incredible feats never failed to amaze her, at this point, to a small extent, she had gotten used to them.
This nonchalance was due to the fact that he had deity-like powers in the form of the Caged Dragon Powers.
Now, without such powers, what he was doing caused her to be in complete disbelief. Even Hong Ling was completely shocked.
He had to rely on his own willpower to complete this fusion.
“Death, Glorious Sun, stop!”
Just as the fusion was about to reach its 108th cycle, Ye Mo erupted. He didn’t want to endure anymore – he had to take back control. Both the Powers of the Glorious Sun and the Powers of Death were his powers. How could he allow the powers to continue doing whatever they wanted?
Fuse!
Boom!
After enduring so many of those cycles, under Ye Mo’s strong willpower, the two powers finally fused together.
Such a fusion was a breakthrough-level.
The combination of the two powers was not as easy as adding one to one – Ye Mo could feel that, in his current state, he would be able to defeat a fighter in the Half Profound Realm even without the Caged Dragon Powers. Now, all he had to do was to wait for the awakening of the Caged Dragon Powers.
Combining the four powers together, he formed a new power – the Shadow Dragon Powers.
3.5 million rays of Shadow Dragon Powers exploded. Even a fighter in the advanced stage of the Profound World Realm wouldn’t be a problem for him!
