Chapter 108: Comprehending the Profound Meaning of Ring Fusion, Comparable to a Divine Skill
Gui Mei adjusted his condition to its optimal state.
Then, he extended his right hand, reaching toward the three soul rings hovering above the corpses of the three Fifteen-Ton Ant Emperors.
The moment his fingertips touched one of the soul rings and he attempted to draw it in, the other two soul rings seemed to respond to the same summons, instantly flying toward him as well.
In the blink of an eye, all three black soul rings tinged with red snapped onto Gui Mei's body simultaneously.
At that instant, Gui Mei felt an incomparably surging torrent of energy crash into his body like a raging tidal wave.
This power was pure and ferocious—entirely strength-attributed soul power.
It was as though countless razor-sharp blades were rampaging through his body, slamming violently wherever they passed. His meridians were assaulted with unbearable pain, as if they were about to be torn apart by this overwhelming force.
Gui Mei's body trembled slightly, yet he clenched his teeth, forcibly enduring the intense agony as he stabilized his stance.
The Evil God Domain was released in an instant.
A layer of gray radiance rapidly spread outward from Gui Mei as the center, enveloping the surrounding space entirely.
At the same time, the five hundred thousand-year soul rings on his body lit up together. Brilliant blood-red light flooded the entire area, illuminating everything.
The power of the Evil God intertwined with the pressure emanating from the five hundred thousand-year soul rings, forming an overwhelming suppressive force.
Under this formidable suppression, the power within the three soul rings seemed to encounter an irresistible resistance. Their initially violent impact gradually became much more subdued
Gui Mei circulated his soul power and began assisting in absorbing their energy.
He carefully guided that vast and majestic power as it flowed through his body, slowly integrating it into his own soul power and meridians bit by bit.
Before long, Gui Mei's form began to change, repeatedly switching between his Ghost Demon Martial Soul and his Body Martial Soul.
His body turned illusory, as if merging seamlessly with the surrounding air.
Moments later, he reverted to his original form once more, radiating a powerful aura.
A layer of pale golden light intertwined with a layer of gray radiance, circling Gui Mei's body and forming a strange force that tightly enveloped and protected him.
Watching from the side, Yue Guan immediately understood that it was the Blue Silver Emperor's power and the Evil God's power within Gui Mei that had been stimulated, jointly safeguarding him.
The Blue Silver Emperor's power was gentle yet resilient, like a warm spring breeze, continuously repairing the meridians that had been damaged by the violent impacts.
The Evil God's power, on the other hand, was brutal and dominant, like a ferocious beast, forcefully suppressing the berserk energy within the three soul rings.
Suddenly, the three black soul rings tinged with red began spinning around Gui Mei's body.
Their speed increased rapidly. In an instant, they formed an enormous vortex, causing the surrounding air to twist and distort.
As the rotation accelerated, the three soul rings gradually fused, eventually transforming into a single hundred-thousand-year soul ring radiating dazzling blood-red light!
This soul ring was even larger than the previous three combined, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.
As time passed, the rotation of the crimson soul ring slowly decelerated, and faint golden patterns began to surface upon it.
Time flowed on in silence.
Everything around gradually returned to calm.
Gui Mei's breathing steadily evened out as well.
The pain that had once contorted his expression vanished, replaced instead by tranquility and intense focus.
He seemed completely immersed in the process of absorbing the soul ring's energy, as if entirely cut off from the outside world.
Seeing this, Yue Guan finally let out a sigh of relief.
He knew that Gui Mei had successfully suppressed the power of those three soul rings.
He stood quietly at the side, guarding Gui Mei, ensuring that no disturbance would interfere with him during the soul ring absorption process.
...
Gui Mei remained deeply immersed in absorbing the immense energy of the soul ring, his consciousness seemingly entering a bizarre and mysterious space.
Within this space, countless strands of soul power intertwined and interwove with one another.
As he continued to deeply absorb the energy of the fused soul ring, Gui Mei felt his mind become sharper than ever before. Scenes from the past unconsciously surfaced in his thoughts—moments when he had absorbed and fused the soul rings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
At that moment, a wondrous sensation welled up within his heart.
It was as if he had grasped a subtle yet profound connection between soul rings.
Following that intuition, he attempted to use his spiritual power to guide the strength of his other soul rings, allowing them to resonate with the newly absorbed power within his body.
At the beginning, the process was fraught with difficulty.
The power of the other soul rings seemed to possess their own will, refusing to merge so easily.
However, Gui Mei did not give up. Relying on his indomitable will, he slowly and carefully sensed the connections between each soul ring.
As time quietly passed, the soul ring powers that had once operated independently began—under his guidance—to show signs of fusion
Like countless streams converging into a mighty river, the power of each soul ring gradually gathered together, forming an even more powerful and purer torrent of energy!
Gui Mei's heart stirred as he realized that he seemed to have comprehended the profound essence of ring fusion.
He found the resonance points between the various soul rings, allowing them to operate as though they were a single unified whole.
Around Gui Mei's body, all of his soul rings bloomed once more.
They began to rotate slowly, like an enormous and intricate system of gears—meshing together, driving and reinforcing one another.
Yue Guan, who was guarding him from the side, suddenly sensed a change in the aura emanating from Gui Mei's body and was instantly startled.
Watching as the six hundred thousand-year soul rings gradually fused, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Those six hundred thousand-year soul rings merged into one, transforming into an even more massive soul ring that radiated dazzling golden-red light, so brilliant that it was impossible to look at directly.
"Old Ghost, this… what's going on here?"
Around Gui Mei's body, lights flickered. Pale gold, gray, and the golden-red radiance emitted by the fused soul ring intertwined together, forming a magnificent yet shocking spectacle.
The aura released by that enormous golden-red soul ring made even Yue Guan's heart tremble.
Under the violent fluctuations of that immense energy, the surrounding air twisted and distorted.
Yue Guan could not help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air, retreating several steps backward.
"Old Ghost actually managed to fuse all of his soul rings into one… Could this be a unique ability he comprehended himself…?"
Suddenly, the massive golden-red soul ring sank into Gui Mei's body, and the light surrounding him gradually converged and faded.
With an expression full of anticipation, Yue Guan stared at Gui Mei. His longtime partner seemed to be showing signs of awakening.
At that moment, Gui Mei's body trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Yue Guan's shocked expression was the first thing to enter his field of vision.
"Old Yue, why are you staring at me like that? Did I shock you again?"
Yue Guan smiled faintly.
He had already expected that once the soul rings of the Fifteen-Ton Ant Emperor brothers fused, they would reach the hundred-thousand-year level.
What he had not anticipated was that Gui Mei would be able to fuse his previous five soul rings with it as well.
"Old Ghost, all six of your soul rings have fused into one. Didn't you feel anything?"
"Of course I did."
Gui Mei stood up and explained calmly:
"This was also a coincidence of fate. Previously, I fused the soul rings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. This time, I fused the soul rings of the three Fifteen-Ton Ant Emperors. These two special experiences allowed me to comprehend the profound meaning of ring fusion."
