Chapter 104: The Powerful Self-Soul Fusion Technique, Di Tian Takes Action!
"Chaos Lotus Martial Soul, come forth!"
"Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, appear!"
With a focused thought, Lin Yu summoned the Chaos Lotus and Golden Sacred Dragon martial souls. In an instant, a mysterious blue-green light and a dazzling golden light erupted from his body.
The Chaos Lotus Martial Soul, exuding an aura of profound mystique, materialized behind Lin Yu, while a majestic golden dragon, with its wide wings unfurled and neck held high, roared powerfully towards the sky.
"Begin the soul fusion technique!"
With both martial souls summoned and the strange connection between them established, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and gave a low command, activating the fusion.
Immediately, the Chaos Lotus and Golden Sacred Dragon martial souls drew together like opposite poles of a magnet, merging into one. A brilliant blue-gold light burst forth, transforming into a radiant blue-gold column that soared into the sky.
Within the blue-gold column, Lin Yu felt as though he was returning to the womb, a profound sense of relaxation enveloping him. Countless gentle and warm energies gathered around him as if to wrap him entirely.
Though his eyes were still closed, Lin Yu realized that his soul fusion technique was likely of the attachment type rather than the external type.
External fusion techniques, as the name suggests, do not include the soul master within the fusion's final form. They operate outside the soul master's body and can be disrupted if targeted. Examples include the Dragon-Snake Combination of the Overlord Dragon Snake, the Ice Phoenix of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, and the Three-in-One Fusion Technique of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flander.
Attachment-type fusion techniques, on the other hand, include the soul master within the fusion's final form. To harm the soul master, one must break the fusion technique itself. Examples include the Hell Eye White Tiger and the Phantom Spirit Cat's fusion technique, the Phantom White Tiger, and Hu Liena and Xie Yue's fusion technique, Demonic Charm.
Lin Yu believed that the attachment type was better for now, but in the future, if he became strong enough to multitask, external fusion techniques might be more suitable.
The soul fusion technique's activation was swift. Within three seconds after the blue-gold column erupted, the fusion was completed. Amid a thunderous dragon roar, a black dragon covered in intricate dark gold patterns appeared where Lin Yu once stood. It had a long, elegant body reminiscent of an Eastern Dragon but with wide wings similar to the Golden Sacred Dragon.
This was the final form of the Chaos Lotus and Golden Sacred Dragon soul fusion technique!
"Such powerful strength!" Lin Yu marveled at the might of his new form. With massive, sharp dragon claws and the overwhelming power coursing through his dragon-like body, he felt he could easily crush his previous self with a single swipe.
Although he had no opponent to test his newfound power against, the Chaos Lotus and Golden Sacred Dragon were divine-level martial souls. Even the fusion form of the Golden Sacred Dragon alone, used by Liu Erlong, Flander, and Yu Xiaogang, was powerful enough to challenge a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo, forcing him to use his martial soul's true form and eighth soul skill.
Given that Lin Yu was only a Soul King but wielded a Golden Sacred Dragon soul and a Chaos-level Chaos Lotus soul, he believed that the fusion technique could surpass four or five major ranks. Reaching Title Douluo level seemed within reach.
However, such a powerful fusion technique came with significant soul power consumption. Lin Yu felt his soul power rapidly depleting, unable to be restored by his Eternal Life Technique.
After three minutes, his soul fusion technique automatically deactivated due to exhaustion. This was despite Lin Yu merely maintaining the technique without engaging in combat.
After replenishing his soul power, Lin Yu continued testing the fusion technique's capabilities. He found that using brute force attacks did not significantly reduce the fusion technique's duration. However, utilizing abilities derived from the Chaos Lotus, such as the Golden Lotus of Merit, Purifying White Lotus, Destructive Black Lotus, Infernal Red Lotus, and the Qian Kun Ding, greatly shortened the fusion state's duration. Each use could reduce the duration by about a minute.
Despite the special abilities of the Golden Lotus of Merit, Purifying White Lotus, and Destructive Black Lotus being untested, the Infernal Red Lotus's flames and the Qian Kun Ding's refining light proved formidable. The destructive power was sufficient to turn solid granite into dust, rivaling the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo.
This outcome greatly satisfied Lin Yu.
He decided to name the fusion technique "Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation."
Meanwhile, during the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation, each appearance of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon made Gu Yue Na's perception of Lin Yu clearer. The dragon scale guiding Di Tian to find Lin Yu also became more sensitive, allowing Di Tian to easily pinpoint Lin Yu's location and head straight toward him.
