"Buzz—"
—
As the two souls were thrown into the lump of flesh, a dark purple aura suddenly erupted.
Lu Xingchen focused his mind, closely monitoring the energy fluctuations within the mass of flesh, ready to activate flesh magic to regulate it at any time.
Three minutes later.
The throbbing of the flesh gradually subsided, and the halo on its surface returned to stability. However, the dark purple luster seemed to have intensified, but the expected deformation did not occur.
"Hmm, that's all?"
Lu Xingchen frowned slightly, raised his hand and pressed it on the surface of the fleshy mass, carefully examining the inside.
The next second, he blinked a few times, a look of astonishment on his face. He could clearly sense that the Death Spider and Soul-Devouring Spider spirits within the mass of flesh had vanished without a trace.
Instead of fusing with Bibi Dong's torso as expected, they were like two drops of water merging into the ocean, directly devoured by the domineering power of the two gods within the flesh mass, transforming into pure nutrients to nourish the divine bones.
"Damn, the difference in levels is just too big."
Lu Xingchen only needed to think for a moment to understand the reason. Bibi Dong was a god-level powerhouse in her previous life, and with each time she became stronger, the origin of her martial soul would also be enhanced.
After she became the Rakshasa God, both of her martial souls were upgraded to god-level martial souls. In addition, the Rakshasa God's power was inherently inclined towards devouring and evil.
Given their shared origins, these two demonic spider souls, with a cultivation level of at most a thousand years, could only serve as nourishment.
This situation is completely different from Qian Renxue's, because Qian Renxue's bones still belong to the category of human bones. In addition, the sacred attribute of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is inclined towards inclusion and purification rather than devouring, so the fusion is relatively smooth.
"It seems that only energy bodies of the same or at least similar levels can complete the fusion."
Lu Xingchen pondered for a moment, then walked to the branch of the tree of life, gently ran his fingertips along the emerald green trunk, and then precisely broke off a small section of the branch with three tender leaves.
"boom--"
As if sensing that someone was about to harm his wife, almost the instant the treetop was detached from the body, the few drops of destructive condensate residing on the branch of life suddenly erupted!
"Bang!!!"
Fine, destructive lightning crackled around the tree branches, and dark energy fluctuations spread out like a tide.
However, Lu Xingchen had anticipated this, and his face showed no sign of panic.
Holding the verdant tip of the Tree of Life as if it were the most precise tool, he reached out without hesitation towards a single drop of destructive liquid. With a gentle flick of his fingertip, he scooped up the drop of liquid, which contained terrifying destructive power, and attached it to a tender leaf on the tip of the tree.
"Sizzle~"
As the drop of destructive condensate was removed, the remaining destructive condensate on the Tree of Life gradually subsided, and the surrounding violent energy also subsided.
Lu Xingchen understood that the Life Tree Branch and the Destruction Condensate were mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and their energies always maintained an extremely delicate balance, like the two ends of a scale, neither of which could be missing.
If one side's energy is depleted, the other side's energy will lose its balance and easily fall into a berserk state.
While a runaway surge of life energy is relatively easy to control, if destructive energy gets out of control, this small plane that has only just begun to recover a little vitality will be destroyed.
"go."
Without further hesitation, Lu Xingchen flicked his wrist and threw the life tree branch, which was absorbing the condensed liquid of destruction, directly at the dark purple mass of flesh in front of him.
"Bang!!!"
A deafening roar erupted, and the treetops were instantly swallowed up the mass of flesh the moment they touched it. Immediately afterward, the dark purple mass of flesh trembled violently, churning violently like a lake tossed with a boulder.
The next second, four distinct colors appeared on the surface of the fleshy mass: purple representing the power of the Rakshasa, dark red symbolizing the power of the Asura, emerald green originating from the tree of life, and pitch black from the condensed liquid of destruction.
The four colors are clearly distinct, like four forces occupying their own territory, frantically intertwining and colliding on the surface of the flesh, resisting each other and refusing to give way.
"It works!"
Lu Xingchen stroked his chin, observing the scene with great interest.
Without a doubt, the chaotic scene before us is the result of a fierce conflict between the power of the Rakshasa and Asura gods within Bibi Dong's divine bones and the life force of the Tree of Life and the destructive power of the Destruction Condensate.
Four divine-level energies collided and tore apart within the mass of flesh, yet were firmly bound within by the power of flesh magic, forming a bizarre standoff.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The dull thuds of impact continued incessantly, and violent energy explosions occurred on the surface of the fleshy mass from time to time, bursting out one hideous small hole after another. Dark destructive energy and dark red Asura divine power occasionally overflowed from it, scorching the surrounding air.
Strangely, each gap that appeared was quickly filled by the flesh's own regenerative power the next second, with the emerald green life force acting like an adhesive, constantly repairing the destroyed parts.
In this cycle of destruction and rebirth, the four colors of energy began to show subtle signs of merging—dark red and deep purple permeated each other, emerald green and jet black intertwined, and the originally distinct boundaries of energy gradually became blurred.
"puff-"
Finally, at a certain moment, the fleshy mass, which was a mixture of four colors, suddenly trembled. Then, like a melting candle, the fleshy mass melted and flowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The originally condensed form instantly collapsed, turning into a pool of bloody liquid with an eerie glow, which dripped onto the ground, splashing up tiny droplets of blood.
Then, like spread-out mud, it slowly spread across the dark blue-green rocks, emitting a faint, strange, sweet-smelling aroma that was a mixture of divine pressure and the breath of life.
"rustling"
A faint, yet distinct, scraping sound emanated from the pool of flesh and blood.
Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly, and the next second, a tender white branch suddenly emerged from the center of the flesh, so slender that it seemed as if a gust of wind could break it.
But this branch grew at an astonishing speed, as if nourished by some great force of nature, rising wildly against the invisible air currents.
Slender leaves quickly sprouted from the thick, emerald-green branches.
The edges of the leaves are tinged with faint golden veins, and then the flower buds at the top begin to bloom, with layers of petals slowly unfolding.
It was a red spider lily about one meter tall, but it was not the red and white one of the legends. Instead, it had an extremely eerie pale blue color.
The petals are slender and flexible, curling slightly inward, with irregular wavy edges and sharp, hook-like tips, resembling a dragon's claw outstretched or a crab's pincers slightly open, shimmering with a glassy luster in the dim light.
[Name: Unnamed.]
[Race: Plant-type Soul Beast.]
[Cultivation level: 3,500 years.]
[Details: A special being born from the blood of God, fused with the power of the four gods of Rakshasa, Asura, Life, and Destruction, and induced by the authority of "mutation." A super soul beast with two souls in one body, possessing both life and death attributes.]
"In the end, it was born in the form of a plant? And with the dual attributes of life and death—"
Lu Xingchen put away the 0-02. Although he was slightly surprised by the result, he felt that it was reasonable.
After all, this is a fusion of the power of four gods, coupled with the catalysis of its own blood and the guidance of the "mutation" authority, which could give birth to any inconceivable form and attribute.
Looking at the blue spider lily swaying gently in the wind, exuding a strange aura, Lu Xingchen felt a surge of curiosity.
He tentatively reached out his finger and gently poked the petals twice.
"Sasha~"
A soft, rustling sound arose, accompanied by a gentle texture, just as Lu Xingchen's fingertips were about to touch the petals.
Suddenly, a vine about the thickness of a finger, with a pale green sheen, emerged from the soil beneath the blue flower. It moved with astonishing speed, coiling around his finger like a nimble little snake and gently tightening its grip, stopping his movement.
"Please, please don't do this~"
A faint yet clear thought, like a feather, gently brushed across Lu Xingchen's mental sea.
The thought carried a hint of timidity, a touch of shyness, and a subtle, almost imperceptible dependence. The voice was soft and gentle, like a child who had done something wrong pleading.
Lu Xingchen showed no surprise whatsoever.
As early as when he used flesh magic to fuse the blood of God with the power of the four gods in an attempt to create this special soul beast, he had already taken the opportunity to implant a virtual personality into it.
After all, having used up so many precious materials, he naturally had to take precautions in advance to ensure that the being born would be absolutely loyal to him. The flower in front of him had only 3,500 years of cultivation, yet it could clearly express complete thoughts, which was obviously due to the virtual personality at work.
However, Lu Xingchen only set the core command of loyalty. As for details such as personality, he did not interfere much. He just wanted to see what kind of traits this being, which combined multiple powers, would naturally develop.
"I've already pricked it, what can you do about it?"
A mischievous glint flashed in Lu Xingchen's eyes, but he ignored the timid thought.
With a slight effort, he easily broke free from the vines' grasp, then his fingertips slipped through the soft petals and gently touched the tender yellow stamen in the center.
"Waaah~ No, please stop~"
An even stronger thought came, tinged with grievance and panic. Several slender vines emerged from beneath the flowers and gently wrapped around Lu Xingchen's arm, their touch so gentle it seemed as if they were afraid of hurting him.
The blue flower bud began to sway slightly, its petals trembling gently, as if it were pleading or begging.
"Is it because it has just developed sentience?"
Lu Xingchen's expression turned somewhat strange. He felt the soft, tearful thought in his mind and couldn't help but think to himself, "Why does this flower's personality seem like a pushover? It's too easy to bully!"
He became interested and gently shook his hand a couple of times, without even using much force, and easily freed himself from the entangled vines.
This confirms it completely: this flower is indeed timid. Even the vines that tried to stop it were cautious and tentative, showing absolutely no ferocity that a soul beast should have.
"Oh dear~ Please, please don't do this~"
The blue flower emitted several faint utterances, filled with earnest pleading. Its originally outstretched petals even closed slightly, obscuring the stamen, like a shy young girl with her head bowed, unable to meet anyone's gaze.
"Buzz"
Just as Lu Xingchen was smiling and about to continue teasing the soft little guy, a sudden change occurred.
Dark red lines suddenly appeared on the originally pale blue petals, spreading rapidly like a spider web. In the blink of an eye, the color of the entire flower was completely changed.
The eerie pale blue turned into a deep, dark red, as if it were soaked in blood, exuding a chilling aura of death.
"Didn't I say stop? Are you deaf?"
A violent and volatile will, completely different from before, suddenly surged into Lu Xingchen's mental sea, carrying a sharp sense of oppression and a tone as vicious as that of a provoked beast.
Immediately afterwards, a dark red vine, several times thicker than before, suddenly shot out from the ground and slapped Lu Xingchen's palm hard with a "snap," slapping his hand away.
"You were having a good time poking me before, now it's my turn to get back at you."
The dark red flower swayed violently in the wind, its petals opening straight up, the hooked thorns at their tips gleaming coldly.
The next second, the ground shook violently, and countless dark red vines as thick as an adult's arm burst out of the soil, surging towards Lu Xingchen like a tide, instantly binding his limbs and torso tightly.
The vines were covered with tiny barbs, but they didn't actually pierce his skin; they just symbolically tightened a bit.
"What, you've finally decided to give it up?"
Although he was bound like a rice dumpling by vines, Lu Xingchen remained calm.
He could clearly sense that the binding force of these vines was not strong, and with his strength, he could break free in an instant with just a little effort.
"Hmph~"
The dark red flower swayed slightly, emitting a thought tinged with a cold snort. The tone remained icy and irritable, but it did not continue its attack or engage in any further communication.
The next second, the dark red patterns on the petals quickly faded, and the flower returned to its eerie pale blue color. The previous aura of rage vanished without a trace, leaving only a faint shyness.
"Looks like she's being a tsundere."
Lu Xingchen exerted a little force, and the vines on his body snapped. He moved his wrists and shook his head helplessly.
After all, they were his own creations, so he could roughly sense their state. As early as when he saw the evaluation of "one body, two souls", he had already figured out the special feature of this flower - a dual personality.
"Because no specific personality was defined, did the virtual personality split into two personalities again to adapt to the two diametrically opposed attributes of life and death?"
Lu Xingchen looked at the blue red spider lilies in front of him with great interest, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "A soft, submissive girl and a grumpy, arrogant troublemaker, this is quite an interesting discovery."
He reached out, this time not to poke the petals, but to gently stroke the soft leaves, and whispered, "From now on, your name will be 'Xi'er'."
After all, this is the first super soul beast that has officially been born in his hands, so naturally he has to give it some special treatment.
"Phew~"
The pale blue flower swayed slightly, as if in response to his words.
