Chapter 1503 - Fusion (1/2)

“Share? How?”

Hong’er’s sword soul had been made to mend her life and soul, and this alone was a feat beyond Yun Che’s understanding already. But his confusion deepened even further when Jie Yuan declared that she was going to make Hong’er and You’er share the same sword soul… Was that even possible!?

“Normally, that’d be completely impossible. But Hong’er and You’er were originally one and the same, so they share the same soul origin. Moreover, Hong’er’s life is connected to yours, so it’s possible to do this if we use you as the carrier!”

“Yun Che, “...??”

“Once it is done, You’er’s life will become connected to yours just like Hong’er’s. I won’t even need to make a new body for her because she’ll eventually gain one through your life aura.”

Yun Che, “...”

Hong’er’s soul, Hong’er’s sword soul, Hong’er’s mutation… everything about Hong’er was at the level of the Creation Gods. She was the one and only taboo child between a Creation God and a Devil Emperor, and she had gone through too much in her life.

Undoubtedly, no one but Jie Yuan knew Hong’er best in the entire world, but not even she could understand why she fed on swords.

The god race had the Devil Slayer Swords and the Sword Spirit God Clan, and the devil race had the Heaven Smiting Swords and the Heaven Smiting Devil Clan. However, none of them had the strange habit of eating swords.

Yun Che thought for a moment before raising an eyebrow. “Senior, you once said that light energy and darkness energy cannot exist with each other, but Hong’er’s soul was infused with light divine energy just like the Sword Spirit God Clan, and You’er’s soul is made of of pure, devilish darkness. Won’t their souls reject each other?”

“Maybe that’s true for another person, but you…” Jie Yuan’s pitch black eyes turned several shades darker as she stared at Yun Che. “You’re a monster who can survive and even control both the light energy and the darkness energy in you at the same time! It’s clear that your body completely disregards the basic law of light and darkness!”

“This means that You’er and Hong’er may very well be able to coexist as long as their lives are connected to yours and the unnatural law that exists inside your body!”

“One more thing. Once You’er’s soul is fused with Hong’er’s, the sword they transform into will become unimaginably powerful. They should be a great help to you.”

“Unimaginably powerful”, she said. Considering this comment had come from the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor himself, Yun Che could only imagine the boost he was about to receive!

“Will it… really work?” Yun Che asked unsurely as he stared at You’er’s blank eyes.

“The results will be clear once we give it a try!” Jie Yuan said evenly. It was clear from the confidence rolling off her that she was almost one hundred percent certain that it would succeed.

She was the mother of Hong’er and You’er. No one knew their souls better than her, not to mention that she had in depth knowledge of Hong’er’s special sword soul and the Soul Star Relegation that tied her and Yun Che together.

“Now, summon Hong’er.”

A red light flew out of the vermillion sword mark in response to Yun Che’s mental summons, and Hong’er appeared right in front of Yun Che. The girl let out a yawn before asking, “You want me to share my sword soul with You’er? Does this mean that You’er will be ‘moving in’ into my sword soul?”

Yun Che, “Uh... You heard everything?”

“My ears are working perfectly, so of course I did,” Hong’er said with a snort.

Mov… moving in?

“I guess you’re right.” Yun Che lowered his body slightly before asking, “So… are you okay with this?”

There were only two things Hong’er was concerned with in her whole life: eating and sleeping. Since the day he met her, she had never shown any interest in her background, her parents, or even her own unique existence.

“Of course I’m okay with this!” Hong’er’s eyes curled into crescents. “I like You’er a lot. Does this mean that I’ll be able to play with You’er all the time?”

“Probably, yes. But we don’t know if it’ll succeed or hurt you in any way yet.”

On the other side, Jie Yuan was also kneeling next to You’er and whispering quietly. A while later, she turned around and said, “Let’s begin… tell Hong’er to turn into a sword.”

Yun Che nodded and said, “Hong’er.”

A flash later, Hong’er had transformed into the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword. The vermillion light coming off its body was a shining beacon despite the darkness around them.

Jie Yuan walked forwards as a pitch black light entered her devilish eyes. Then, she put one hand on the vermillion sword and the other hand on You’er. “We may be merging You’er’s devil soul and Hong’er’s sword soul together, but the core and carrier of their souls is you. Starting now, you will unleash your life and soul aura completely, and you mustn’t reject them no matter what happens during the process.”

“I understand.” Yun Che nodded and bared his aura completely. Right now, literally any power could invade his life energy or mental energy.

A terrible flash of darkness burst out of Jie Yuan’s body all of a sudden. It flooded over his body, soul, and senses completely in just an instant.

In this world of darkness, he vaguely saw a black, odd-shaped profound formation circulating slowly somewhere in front of him. Although the darkness profound formation was clearly visible, he couldn’t sense anything from it at all… It was because its level was too high for Yun Che’s mental energy to perceive.

The darkness profound formation quickly grew larger and clearer… an unknown amount of time later, it suddenly disappeared and shattered his consciousness into countless pieces of darkness.

“Ugh…”

Yun Che groaned heavily before regaining consciousness. His eyes finally found a focus once more.

At the front, he saw Jie Yuan standing not far away from him as if she had never moved away from the spot. However, You’er was no longer by her side.

“How did it go, Senior?”

Something caught his attention right after he said this.

Standing quietly next to him was a giant sword. It had the exact same blade as the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword with several differences. One, it was bright silver in color just like You’er’s silver hair.

Two, a black fog was circulating around its body.

And three, the gem connecting the hilt and the blade was now quad-colored instead of vermillion. They matched perfectly with You’er’s pupils.

Inside the gem, a pocket-sized You’er could be seen swimming around in an unfamiliar world. She seemed to be extremely interested and confused by everything around her.

“This is… the sword after You’er’s soul is joined with the sword soul…” Yun Che muttered to himself before looking at Jie Yuan. “Did it work!?”

“Yes, it did,” Jie Yuan said softly. “It was far simpler and easier than I’d imagined… well, I should’ve expected this. They used to be one and the same after all. No matter what terrible things have happened to them, they would never reject each other.”

She let out a sigh of relief before continuing, “There is one slight deviation from my expectations, however.”

“Deviation?” Yun Che raised an eyebrow in question.

“Sense it yourself and you’ll understand my meaning.”
