The Blue Silver Emperor expressed that in all its years of living, it had never heard of such an absurd process for absorbing a Spirit Ring.
Sacrificing itself was understandable.
Directly killing it and fusing the Spirit Ring was also understandable.
But what did it mean to strip out its Life Origin, integrate it into his new Martial Spirit, and let the remainder transform into the Spirit Ring?
Why did it feel like it was being thoroughly utilized?
"By the way, Senior, the prerequisite for our perfect absorption is for you to sacrifice yourself first, but not die. First, fuse the Spirit Bone with me, and then we proceed with the next steps. You can manage that, right?"
Blue Silver Emperor: ???
Who could manage that?
Sacrificing oneself but not dying? Is that not asking too much?
Su Ming really wanted to drag Huo Yuhao over and have him tell the Blue Silver Emperor whether the Ice Empress, when she sacrificed herself, first gave him her Spirit Bone, even personally helped him fuse it, then sealed her origin, leaving behind just a bit of power to transform into the Spirit Ring.
Su Ming didn't even need the Blue Silver Emperor to know how to seal its origin.
"What about adding this array? This is considered the Spirit Soul method. It can only forcibly transform thousand-year Spirit Souls, but for ten-thousand-year and above, especially hundred-thousand-year and above Spirit Beasts, if the transformation is active, it should definitely succeed as well."
The Blue Silver Emperor finally calmed down.
The Spirit Soul array was simple.
Of course, the principles were complex, but the actual cooperation was very straightforward.
The Blue Silver Emperor understood after running its Spirit Power through it once.
"It can be done."
Du Busi, seeing this, interrupted Su Ming.
"Wait."
"Xiao Ming, are you sure you want to condense a second Martial Spirit?"
This was simply too absurd.
It had never been heard of since ancient times.
"Teacher, don't you trust my creativity?" Su Ming said. "Don't worry, I'm not planning to condense a high-end Martial Spirit like Elemental Control yet, as it involves the spiritual domain."
Huh?
Du Busi was even more confused.
What did that mean?
"I plan to condense a Body Martial Spirit first. After all, the basic blueprint is the body itself. Plus, when I borrow power from heaven and earth, it seems part of it corresponds to the body. Also, I've copied some Martial Spirits as a foundation. I've also copied your Body Martial Spirit, Teacher, which can be used as a framework. Now, all that's missing is the Life Origin."
Du Busi fell silent.
It even required Life Origin to fill it?
Was this condensing a Body Martial Spirit or condensing an actual body?
Although it was somewhat disrespectful to Body Martial Spirits, what Su Ming said was correct; the Body Martial Spirit was theoretically the easiest to condense.
"Senior, if you're ready, you can begin the sacrifice."
The Blue Silver Emperor finally made its psychological preparations.
In the next instant, the heavens and earth changed color.
Countless dark clouds enveloped the valley, and countless thunderbolts raged.
Sacrifice!
Simultaneously, the Blue Silver Emperor also made a breakthrough. It released its suppressed cultivation, instantly breaking through to the two hundred thousand-year level.
Then, it died.
The heavenly tribulation, with nowhere to vent, could only release a few thunderclaps into the air before dispersing.
"Senior, I want the right leg bone."
Although the Blue Silver Emperor didn't know why Su Ming requested the right leg bone, it complied nonetheless.
Its spiritual body separated out, becoming stabilized under the effect of the array, transforming into a Spirit Soul form.
At the same time, it was also controlling its remaining power.
A translucent blue-golden Spirit Bone condensed and landed on Su Ming's right leg.
Su Ming immediately began refining it.
He even activated Borrowed Power, using the Spirit Power borrowed from the Douluo 1 timeline to refine the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, succeeding in fusion almost instantly.
The Blue Silver Emperor was astonished by Su Ming's efficiency, then stripped out its own Life Origin.
The next moment, it couldn't hold on any longer.
Its body exploded. Countless Blue Silver Emperor vines surged out throughout the entire valley, shattering simultaneously.
Red light dots permeated the entire valley, like drops of blood splashed in every corner, and in the next instant, all gathered together, forming a blood-red Spirit Ring.
"Where is your Martial Spirit? Hurry up! I can't control it anymore!"
The Blue Silver Emperor was still too weak/inexperienced after all, failing so quickly.
Su Ming released the three Martial Spirits – Lich, Blood Mosquito, and Skeleton – and fused them into one. He even temporarily replicated the Body Martial Spirit and the Specter Martial Spirit using Spirit Power, jumbling them all together.
Electrolux was also helping Su Ming check for omissions and fill the gaps.
Seeing this, the Blue Silver Emperor directly integrated the Life Origin into the mixture.
Along with it, the blood-red Spirit Ring also descended upon Su Ming's body.
"Star Tree, receive the Blue Silver Emperor."
Su Ming instructed the Star Tree Spirit Soul to receive the Blue Silver Emperor and take control of his body to begin absorbing the Spirit Ring, while he himself devoted his entire being to molding the Martial Spirit.
Due to their previous numerous battles with Su Ming, the Star Tree had a very thorough understanding of Su Ming's Spirit Power circulation, so it seamlessly took over Su Ming's body.
Time passed.
Su Ming's Body Martial Spirit finally gradually took shape.
Under the infusion of Life Origin, a Body Martial Spirit, resembling a real living entity, successfully condensed.
It was another Su Ming.
However, this Body Martial Spirit wasn't Su Ming's own body, but rather a clone that replicated his body?
Du Busi, watching from the side, was somewhat surprised.
Was this even a Body Martial Spirit?
If he had to describe it, it was more like an Externalized Martial Spirit.
The body was molded but also separated from the main body.
That was roughly the feeling.
Su Ming was very satisfied with this.
This was a vessel for the Past Self; it being externalized was fine.
Moreover, this wasn't exactly a solid entity, but a Martial Spirit that existed based on him.
In the original work, the third Martial Spirit, the Death God Holy Mage, that Electrolux ultimately left for Huo Yuhao was actually a similar form.
Now, as Su Ming molded the Martial Spirit, most of the techniques were provided by Electrolux, naturally resulting in a similar effect.
Su Ming introduced the Spirit Power of Past · Su Ming, injecting it into the Martial Spirit, thoroughly activating it.
It could be seen that this Martial Spirit seemed to have gained intelligence.
Across the River of Time, Past · Su Ming was controlling this Body Martial Spirit.
"What a peculiar feeling."
Saying this, he even looked up at the River of Time, gazing downstream, and found that his illusory history had instantly extended by more than double and was rapidly extending further down.
"At this rate, it will naturally extend to the Douluo 2 node within twenty years."
The Martial Spirit condensation was complete, but Su Ming couldn't relax yet.
His body was about to explode at this moment.
The Star Tree Spirit Soul, after all, wasn't his main consciousness, and its application of his body only remained on the surface.
"Refine, for me!"
He took back control of his body and rapidly refined the Blue Silver Emperor's Spirit Ring.
The newly condensed second Martial Spirit seemed to pause for a moment, then integrated into Su Ming's body, amplifying him.
The amplification at this moment was even slightly stronger than when Su Ming borrowed power from the River.
There was ultimately a difference between one's own Martial Spirit and an external one.
Even an external version of one's own Martial Spirit was different from one's primary Martial Spirit.
Let alone external power which was just the Spirit Power of an external version of oneself; it couldn't compare to one's own Martial Spirit now being amplified by the Spirit Power of that external self.
Su Ming let out a long cry, stood up from his spot, and the blood-red Spirit Ring surrounding him abruptly contracted, completely merging into his body.
Subsequently, five Spirit Rings rose from his feet in sequence.
Yellow, Purple, Black, Black, Red!
