Ning Chuan stared at the two faint glowing orbs, then assessed the twenty levels of Spirit Power within him, along with the meridians and Mental Sea that had been reshaped by the Willow God’s essence.
The risk was immense… but so too could be the reward!
Fortune favors the bold!
In this All-Heaven Scrap Station, every step held peril, yet every step held opportunity.
Without daring to take risks, how could one rise swiftly?
“I choose the second plan!
Dual-Spirit Synchronous Fusion!” Ning Chuan’s gaze was resolute as he made his decision.
“Warning!
Re-confirmation required!
Dual-Spirit Synchronous Fusion carries extremely high risk!
The Station Master’s current Spirit Power level and soul strength are only at the minimum tolerance threshold!”
“Confirm execution?”
“Confirmed!” Ning Chuan stated firmly.
“Command confirmed.
Initiating Dual-Spirit Synchronous Fusion procedure.
Please prepare, Station Master.”
The Decomposition Light Pillar at the center of the platform did not activate.
Instead, the two containers holding the Spirit Souls slowly floated up, moving to a position directly in front of Ning Chuan’s Spiritual Body.
Immediately after, the crystal covers on the containers vanished without a sound.
The pale golden liquid inside, as if freed from its restraints, instantly vaporized and dissipated into nothingness.
Deprived of the nourishing liquid, the two glowing orbs suddenly began to flicker violently, as if forcibly roused from slumber.
Instinctively, they began to release the primordial power they had accumulated over countless ages!
Hummm—!!
Pure and immense light energy, alongside vast and refined life energy, erupted from the two orbs like bursting floodwaters.
They transformed into two dazzling pillars of light, completely submerging Ning Chuan’s Spiritual Body!
“Argh—!”
Agony!
Indescribable agony instantly overwhelmed Ning Chuan’s senses!
It was as if his soul had been thrown into a forging furnace, being violently hammered by two sledgehammers of different attributes, yet equally savage!
The light energy scorched his spirit, purifying all impurities, yet also brought tearing pain.
The life energy surged in madly, attempting to repair and nourish, but its sheer overwhelming magnitude itself became a source of destruction, straining his meridians and soul to the point of feeling ready to explode!
His twenty levels of Spirit Power were as insignificant as a stream facing a tsunami before the primordial power of these two thousand-year Spirit Souls!
“Warning!
Energy overload!
Spirit Power channels nearing collapse!”
“Warning!
Soul load exceeding safety threshold!” You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
“Fusion procedure approaching failure!”
The station’s alarm became piercingly urgent and shrill!
Ning Chuan’s Spiritual Body twisted and trembled violently within the sea of light, as if on the verge of dissipating at any moment.
The two Spirit Soul orbs also began to grow unstable, their light flickering erratically, seemingly about to be destroyed alongside him in this out-of-control energy surge!
No!
He couldn’t fail!
And he absolutely could not die here!
Ning Chuan’s consciousness screamed wildly amidst the extreme torment, his survival instinct overriding everything else!
He had to divert the excess energy away!
Now!
Immediately!
But, divert it where?
The platform couldn’t absorb energy of this nature!
At this critical, life-or-death moment, as his consciousness nearly blurred, a thought flashed through Ning Chuan’s mind like lightning.
The Mental Sea!
That newly opened Mental Sea where the Willow God True Spirit slumbered!
That fragment of True Spirit was of an incredibly high rank, unfathomably profound!
Perhaps… it needed energy?
Even if just the tiniest supplement?
A desperate gamble!
He’d take the chance!
“Station!!
Divert all excess energy!!
Into my Mental Sea!!
Into the Willow God True Spirit!!” With the last shred of his conscious will, Ning Chuan roared out the command like a desperate cry!
“Receiving highest authority command from Station Master…
redirecting energy flow…”
“Warning!
Target (Willow God True Spirit) status unknown, energy transmission risk cannot be assessed!”
“Execute command!”
It was like opening a floodgate!
The immense light and life energy that had nearly burst Ning Chuan apart, far exceeding his limits, instantly found a new outlet.
Like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, it surged madly toward the space between his eyebrows, his consciousness sea, rushing into the deepest part of his Mental Sea where a faint emerald speck of light lay dormant!
At the very moment this violent torrent of dual-attribute energy flooded into his Mental Sea.
That weak, silent, seemingly eternal speck of the Willow God True Spirit light…
trembled ever so slightly.
No awakening, no consciousness, just a pure, instinctive…
absorption.
An indescribable, subtle yet supreme suction force emanated from that speck of light.
The surging, overwhelming power of the thousand-year Spirit Soul, which had been on the verge of shattering Ning Chuan’s soul, became as docile as a lamb before this suction, drawn in, devoured, and absorbed without any resistance!
That emerald speck of light was like a bottomless black hole, silently and greedily consuming this “nourishment” delivered to its doorstep.
Within a few breaths, the excess, lethal energy was completely absorbed!
Only the portion of pure energy that perfectly matched Ning Chuan’s current Spirit Power level and soul strength remained within his body, gently and orderly completing the final fusion process.
The pain receded like a tide, replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort and fullness!
Ning Chuan’s Spiritual Body slowly unfurled, emitting a soft, harmonious glow of white and green.
His soul strength had clearly improved a notch under this extreme tempering.
Within him, the bottleneck at the twentieth level of Spirit Power shattered, and his Spirit Power level began to soar!
Twenty-first level, twenty-second level…
finally stabilizing at the twenty-fifth level!
The two gentle orbs of light were no longer violent.
They seemed to have found their home, joyfully merging into Ning Chuan’s spiritual essence, ultimately forming two faint marks at the center of his Spiritual Body’s brow.
One resembled a miniature radiant sun wheel, the other like an unfurling leaf of vitality.
The fusion was a success!
“Dual-Spirit Synchronous Fusion complete.”
“Status: Perfect.”
“Spirit Power level increased: Level 25.”
“Spirit Souls obtained: Light Elf (Millennium), Tree of Life Elf (Millennium).”
“Innate enhancements gained: Light affinity significantly increased, life perception and recovery greatly enhanced.”
“Soul strength significantly strengthened.”
“Excess energy absorbed by an unknown entity, no adverse effects detected.”
The notification sounded, bringing ecstatic results.
Ning Chuan slowly opened his “eyes,” feeling the surging power within his body and the two docile yet powerful new companions in his soul.
A wave of relief from surviving a near-disaster and immense joy filled his heart.
He had bet right!
Not only did he perfectly fuse the dual Spirit Souls and enhance his Spirit Power, but he also turned misfortune into fortune by “feeding” the excess energy to the Willow God True Spirit!
Although that trace of True Spirit remained dormant, showing no signs of awakening, Ning Chuan could vaguely sense that it seemed…
a tiny bit more “solid” than before?
This was undoubtedly a good start!
His gaze turned toward the pile of garbage still emitting a faint glow in the distance on the platform, his eyes growing even more fervent.
This All-Heaven Scrap Station truly held treasures everywhere, but pitfalls were just as abundant.
Yet this time, after stepping into a pit, he had dug out real gold!
