Chapter 232 - 230: Severing Soul
The transformation of Wei Wuyin’s eyes was accompanied by the explosive throbbing of his heart. Each thundering pound of his heart brought about ripples in the air and ground. Even the Astral Array was experiencing several kilometer-long ripples with his body acting as the epicenter despite levitating within the sky.
Within his body, miraculous changes were occurring. Similar to Yuan Longshi’s transformation, Wei Wuyin’s DNA and physique was in transition. His True Dragon Bloodline taking the forefront of dominant lineage.
Draconification!
The first change was to the eyes, the next affected his hands. From his skin, hexagonal-shaped dragon scales started to appear. They were each a mere centimeter in length but numerous, all closely knit together and created a perfectly symmetrical network that carried astonishing beauty. This was especially so due to their color. A rich, radiant silver texture that gave off a faint mystical glow.
His nails sharpened and stretched for about an inch. Each nail curved slightly and gave off the feeling of being a claw. Their points were particularly sharp and seemed to be capable of ripping space itself apart. Just a slight twitch actually caused bending ripples within space!Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
Those gorgeous dragons scales started to make its way from his hand, to his forearm, to his shoulder, and then stopped as it approached the tip of his chin. His entire neck was covered in these scales. As his neck twisted, one could see the inherent flexibility within them, as they seemed no different than skin. This didn’t just go one way as his legs, foot, and toes experienced the same coverage.
His face wasn’t an exception. The only difference was that faint, nearly invisible hexagonal lines were marked onto the facial layer of his skin
Before long, his entire body was a well-connected system of scales. His hair that was jet-black became grey and longer; its innate spiky characteristics became more prominent.
Unlike Yuan Longshi, Wei Wuyin kept his humanoid form and his muscles hadn’t expanded or ballooned. In fact, he even seemed to become more compact as his muscles seemingly shrank by about ten percent. However, if anyone would assume he became weaker due to this, they would be in for a rude awakening.
Clenching his fists, Wei Wuyin felt the tremendous draconic force circulating wildly throughout his body at the moment. It was so intense that he felt as if his draconic force had become raging tsunamis that followed his meridians and blood circulatory system.
Of course, Wei Wuyin wasn’t trying to harm it in the first place. Instead, he gripped it within his palm and it emitted boundless alchemic eden force. While alchemic force was often harmless, combined with eden force, it had an exceptional ability to interact with soul-like manifestations.
With a wrenching pull, his alchemic eden force permeated the soul and entered the thin string until it reached Yuan Longshi’s heart. This pull caused the alchemic eden force to erupt and sever the connection. In that brief moment, the Yang Dragon Soul seemed to have lost its host and was intending to vanish according to the natural laws of this world. A soul without a containment unit was essentially meant to undergo the process of Judgment and Samsara.
However, Wei Wuyin was slightly faster. Ignoring Yuan Longshi’s violent reaction to this severance, Wei Wuyin flashed through the void and arrived before Xue Yifei who seemed to be in a state of semi-consciousness with her eyes glazed.
Wei Wuyin grasped her waist with his arm and pulled her close to him. He directly placed the Yang Dragon Soul into his mouth and devoured it. As it went down, it was affected by his draconic force and alchemic eden force. The former suppressed its will, the latter thoroughly eliminated it via extraction. This will was immediately devoured by Kratos like a tasty lunch.
In a mere second, the Yang Dragon Soul was engulfed with seven-colored light and had lost all of its will. Then, Wei Wuyin used his finger to touch Xue Yifei’s glabella. In his second practical application of mental surgery, he sent alchemic eden force into her sea of consciousness and sped near her Mind’s Eye.
The Yin Dragon Soul was currently in the process of trying to form a resonance with its other half. If it could not in a period of time, it would be forced to detonate. Before it could do so, Wei Wuyin similarly extracted its will but without draconic force, but he left it there. Unlike Yuan Longshi, Xue Yifei’s Yin Dragon Soul was within her sea of consciousness and draconic force would cause untold damage.
"You can consider this as a gift to my concubine, here." Wei Wuyin touched his lips to her soft, delicate lips and spread them open. The Yang Dragon Soul shot from his throat and entered her esophagus. It traveled until it found its way into her heart and formed a thin, natural line as he phased into it.
At that moment, Xue Yifei went fully unconscious. When finished, Wei Wuyin left that comfortable and fragrant-filled contact and observed her slightly. "I can’t merge Yin and Yang Dragon Soul into you. If I did, it might contest for superiority even without a will. When you become strong enough, you should be able to do so without much issue."
Wei Wuyin thought about this for a moment and sighed. In the end, his actions were limited. However, "At least now your life will be your own." Those words caused Xue Yifei’s gently shut eyelids to quiver. He felt that she had heard him and responded in this way. What it meant, he wasn’t sure.
Regardless, with the Yang Dragon Soul, she should be able to create a Draconic Heart of Blood(line) via the True Dragon Transmutation Method. Fortunately, she already had an innate dragon bloodline in her that was slightly different from Yuan Longshi. He didn’t know what they encountered to reach such a strange point in their lives, but she now had her own path.
Considering she had the Yin Dragon Soul and all its memories, she might be able to eclipse Yuan Longshi. Of course, this depended on its strength when alive, but he didn’t think it was any weaker than Wu Yu in his prime when complete.
This was a mere gut feeling and couldn’t be truly substantiated.
After a brief moment of gazing at Xue Yifei’s gorgeous countenance, he shifted his gaze onto the unconscious Yuan Longshi that laid on the floor covered in his own blood.
