The Dao Egg and Soul Seed's collision dominated the darkness of this disconnected space. A world of pure amber-gold was all that existed, but the sheer pressure from this collision produced a force that was tremendous beyond description!

Yan Zaizen's body cracked like earth! Fissures of separated skin spawned across his body, from his face to his toes. Blood spewed from these cracks like geysers, and his mouth became the opening of a waterfall of crimson! The pressure and pain reached to the point where his eyes lost its focus, his conscious ceased immediately, and he couldn't even react or make a single whimper or cry.

Despite this, he stayed in his position without moving a single millimeter. The pressure was so powerful and coming from everywhere in the world that his body remained stationary!

The Dao Egg was like a sun and so was the Soul Seed. Two suns collided but neither were willing to surrender. This wasn't unexpected. Daos were naturally incompatible, much like Regalias of the Heavens. They held their own beliefs and drive, oftentimes clashing with others to validate their own existence, but regardless of what Dao, neither would ever wish to surrender to the other.

This was a form of natural instinct. An unwillingness to be crushed, defeated, and vanquished out of existence. However, these two Daos were the same in make and origin! This offered a very, very rare opportunity that could only be performed under these very specific circumstances.

But make no mistake, if two of the same dao from different individuals were to clash in such a manner, there would be no other option but absolute mutual destruction! My Dao will survive, your Dao will disappear! It was a law, a formless yet definite law of the Dao.

A voice sounded like a ghost in the lone wind, ”Sacrifice the Dao! Concede!”

This voice was like an Imperial decree from beyond the heavens and it caused the Dao Egg to tremble violently. It flickered and halted its crushing attempt for supremacy. If one were to sense the Dao aura or even see the Egg, it seemed to be in conflict and confusion, and if it had eyes, it would be staring at the Soul Seed in puzzlement.

The voice had originated from the Soul Seed!

Yan Zaizen had, the moment his dao clashed with this Soul Seed, truly lost consciousness, but his Soul Seed was a part of his consciousness and it was still connected to him!

The Dao Egg listened to his command. It must. This was his Dao, it was him much akin to a limb or a thought, fully within the control of the user except under extreme circumstances.

”I command THEE!” The Soul Seed's figure became upright and if it had eyes, it would be incredibly cold and sharp like an emperor's blade.

The Dao Egg violently trembled. However, Yan Zaizen's portion of his consciousness no longer had to give the command. The first was an alert, but the second was a command! It can not, could not, and will not resist.

It became a stream of amber-gold light that poured into the Soul Seed willingly. The Soul Seed consumed the Dao Egg and relished in its aura and strength. As it did, the Soul Seed's humanoid form became more and more human. Firstly, it gained a kingly crown atop its head. Then, its features slowly begun to resemble Yan Zaizen.

As all of the Dao Egg entered the Soul Seed, the world's light and pressure vanished like a wisp of flame in a blizzard. Without the pressure, Yan Zaizen's body crashed heavily to the ground. A pale white light circulated where his heart was. His body ignited into a white flame!

This was the Unyielding Flame of Life!

Much like the time Yan Zaizen had lost consciousness and nearly died when he first cultivated the Herculean Method, the Unyielding Flame of Life remained by his side, always protecting him whenever necessary! Within seconds, his cracked body became fully healed and the blood burned away, fueling the flame itself.

”Urgh…” Yan Zaizen groaned as he slowly rose from his fallen position. Him suddenly losing consciousness wasn't described in the Divine Art…

”This is why I hate theorized arts...too many unexpected events.” In truth, the art did work as intended, but it went to show that a second soul with a second dao was absolutely required otherwise convincing his dao to merge while unconscious was impossible. Not to mention, if the Dao was a different Dao, even if he did have the same soul, two complete Daos couldn't co-exist peacefully in one form.

This was a law of the omniverse.

The Soul Seed was no longer a Soul Seed, but a Dao Heart!

Yan Zaizen felt strangely empty. If this feeling was described as Yan Zaizen being a cup full of water before, then now, it was akin to him being a cup with a drop of water. This singular drop was the connection he now possessed with his dao.
