636 Fusion

It was the same result for the next pages.

After checking the first four pages back and forth several times, he noticed that every single spell was different.

"No wonder it's called the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, the book that recorded all kinds of incantations, spells, curses... Each one is different."

Lin Yun kept checking the pages. The first page alone had five hundred to six hundred different magic incantations. There were all kinds of rare enchantments to suit every need.

After happily looking at it, Lin Yun began the fusion with his 3rd Meditation Law Set.

To fuse it with his Meditation Law Set, the first step was to connect with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and obtain its approval.

After all, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras wasn't the Spell Wheel. The Spell Wheel had been forged by Lin Yun, so there would be no disagreement.

Holding the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, he poured mana into it. He wanted to communicate with the Magic Tool Incarnation of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, but after pouring some mana into it, he didn't get any reaction.

Lin Yun was a bit stunned by that. He didn't know what was going on.

He had done countless calculations, thinking about how to get the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, but he hadn't expected this situation after actually getting the book.

It looked like the Incarnation was slumbering, hidden in the innermost part of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. No matter how Lin Yun tried to communicate, he didn't get any answer.

Lin Yun frowned, wondering if the Incarnation had died… If the Incarnation didn't answer at all, what should he do?

Enderfa floated over and did a few rounds around the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

"Merlin, what's to be done? The Raging Flame Emperor left you the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, but you can't even get its approval, and there are more pressing matters…"

Lin Yun thought deeply about it and had a sudden enlightenment.

"Right, why can't I simply try to fuse it the conventional way? I'll directly fuse the Core Meditation Law Set into it, and as long as the fusion succeeds, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras would be unable to reject me!"

Enderfa was stunned by Lin Yun's bold thoughts, and by the time he reacted, Lin Yun had already started.

"Damn, Merlin, you didn't die to that monster, so don't end up killing yourself…"

Enderfa was at a loss. He wanted to stop it, but he had no way to stop him.

Because he could already see Lin Yun's hands holding onto the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras while runes and formulas were flowing out of his body. The characters of these runes and formulas were similar to shackles revolving around Lin Yun's body.

A large number of radiant runes rushed out of Lin Yun's body and slowly combined into the shape of a furnace, emitting wisps of auras encompassing everything.

The Void Forge Core Meditation Law Set had already been taken out of Lin Yun's body...

The runes and formulas forming the radiant furnace slowly rotated, and a large amount of elemental mana converged towards the furnace. Regardless of the element, they turned into pure mana within the Void Forge.

This was a display of the Void Forge's greatest quality. Being all-encompassing, it could absorb any mana and convert it, with nothing excluded. This was similar to the characteristics of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, as it contained all incantations.

After revolving a few times, the radiant furnace decomposed once again and turned into circles of lights revolving around Lin Yun, before turning into shackles of light.

A fierce mana fluctuation was emitted from Lin Yun's body, and his entire body seemed to be the eye of a tornado, forcing the others to stand back.

Zeuss was looking at the radiance of the Void Forge around Lin Yun's body and was unable to guess how many formulas that Core Meditation Law Set possessed.

He had never seen this in his entire life. He had never heard of someone causing such a big scene while fusing his Meditation Law Set.

Seeing all the elemental mana rushing into the furnace as if it was their home, Zeuss could only remain sluggish, unable to understand it. He had once been an 8th Rank Archmage, but he was the same as an ordinary villager now.

The first rune of the Void Forge was about to come into contact with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, slowly approaching it. Nothing unusual was happening... The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras was just like a stone, not reacting.

But the moment Void Forge's rune touched the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, the deathly still book suddenly let out huge rays of light.

It was like a poked wasp's nest. Countless runes loudly exploded from the book and frantically attacked the Void Forge's runes.

The impact of the collision could be seen with the naked eye, causing bright and multicolored ripples.

Lin Yun's expression faintly changed, but he had expected it this time and increased his mana output. The mana within his body rushed out like a flood. This mana was wrapped in the Void Forge and was frantically attacking the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

Lin Yun's body slowly floated up alongside the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

The runes of a few unknown incantations appeared near the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. These runes kept revolving, turning into balls that were wrapping the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras within.

And more and more runes were surging out of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. The layers of runes formed curtains of lights, quickly turning into layers of defenses.

Lin Yun's eyes were wide open as he stared at the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, grinding his teeth. Earlier, he had been trying to connect for a long time, but there had been no reaction, and now, when he wanted to forcibly fuse this book, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest...

"Damn…" Lin Yun was annoyed.

His Magic Arrays and his two Alchemic Mana Whirlpools were revolving at full capacity to condense mana into a liquid state so that it could be poured out of Lin Yun to impact the Book of Mantra.

The shackles of light that the Void Forge had turned into formed the shape of an awl, and Lin Yun added a large amount of mana to it.

Then, Lin Yun roused his mana once again.

That awl started spinning frantically...

The glaring light at the tip of the awl collided with the runes, causing lightning from friction.

The fierce lightning wreaked havoc and made the space fluctuate.

Enderfa and the others had poor complexions as they saw that, and all retreated to the edge of the palace.

"Snap…"

A sharp sound echoed as a rune was pierced by the awl, and then, a cobweb-like crack appeared on the sphere of light.

A large quantity of runes were shattered, and the first layer of defense was broken through. But the awl didn't stop, as it immediately collided with the 2nd layer.

The sharp and deafening friction sound was like the screech of a Banshee. The frantically rotating awl was piercing layer after layer of defenses like a hot knife through butter to reach the book. But Lin Yun's complexion was getting paler.

The closer he got to the book, the more powerful the book's defenses were, especially since the book would set up two more defenses every time he broke one, spouting mantras' runes at a crazy speed, far faster than Lin Yun could break through them.

After more than a minute, the defenses of the book had greatly increased, and Lin Yun had become extremely pale.

The mana consumption was too high. Using pure mana for a direct collision instead of a spell was consuming a lot more mana.

Facing this resistance, Lin Yun frowned and wondered what was going on with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. The backlash from his mana was outrageous, and the more mana he used, the more powerful the backlash of the book.

If he slightly decreased the output, although the counterattack of the book would still be powerful, it wouldn't increase, but rather decrease quite a bit.

Then… If he completely scattered his mana. Wouldn't the book not counterattack at all?

But this was a dangerous risk...

The Core Meditation Law Set was of utmost importance. He had to use mana to protect the Core Meditation Law Set when fusing it.

This was common sense that had never changed since the enlightenment to magic at the peak of the Magic Era.

Because a Core Meditation Law Set was a mage's magic life. Not only was it related to their future prospects, but it was also the foundation for the future. No damage could be supported.

If their Core Meditation Law Set was damaged, they might be stuck at the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm. There had been many geniuses in history that had been unable to break through after reaching the Archmage Realm due to a problem with their Meditation Law Set.

The most formidable one in history advanced to the 5th Rank before ultimately dying, unable to advance again.

Lin Yun hesitated a bit. He kept weakening his mana output, and the backlash from the book also weakened to a degree that was relatively easier to handle.

The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras was reacting to mana, but the pure Meditation Law Set wasn't mana, so there was actually a great chance of success.

So far, he had consumed more than half of the mana, but there was no meaning in wasting more. Once his mana was completely consumed, he might not be able to accomplish the fusion anymore.

'Sh*t, let's try!'

How could he give up on the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras? At this point, he could only take the risk!

Lin Yun clenched his teeth and slowly reduced his mana output and the backlash of the book also slowly weakened.

Every time his mana output was reduced, those large runic defenses would pressure him like a tsunami, their momentum making it hard to break for Lin Yun.

But as the counterattack of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras weakened, the huge runic tsunami would retreat a bit more...
