"Human! Stop!"
"Stop slaughtering my people. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"
Just then, an aged woman's voice rang out.
Upon hearing this voice, Xian Lin'er hesitated slightly, then slowly stepped back.
In the next instant, the toxic mist soul ring—which had been rolling in like a dark cloud—dispersed.
Revealing a small, emerald-green valley.
The valley was now in shambles; the once densely packed and neatly arranged Emerald Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers and Emerald Phosphorus Nine-Absolute Flowers had been nearly destroyed by Xian Lin'er, reduced to nothing but broken branches and withered stems.
However, Xian Lin'er had only severely damaged them rather than uprooting them entirely, so few soul rings had fallen—only a few from the Millennium Emerald-Phosphorus Seven-Exquisite Flowers that had been caught in the crossfire.
And the sound that had just echoed out came from the largest Emerald-Phosphorus Nine-Exquisite Flower at the very center.
"Whoosh—"
Seeing the toxic mist dissipate, Bai Zhou quickly flew over to Xian Lin'er's side on his flying soul-guided device.
With Xian Lin'er's protection, Bai Zhou finally straightened his chest slightly and, adopting a condescending posture, said calmly, "Little Flower, I want you to help me with my cultivation."
"What do you mean by that, sir? I don't understand."
The Bi Lin Nine-Extreme Flower spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of weakness.
She had clearly been seriously injured by Xian Lin'er.
Xian Lin'er also tilted her head slightly to look at Bai Zhou, unsure what he meant by that.
"Hmm, I want you to voluntarily merge with me, dissolve your spiritual consciousness of your own accord, and become a part of my martial soul."
Bai Zhou continued.
The main reason he didn't want her to make a sacrifice was that, even after the sacrifice, the soul rings would still belong to the Wishing Tree martial soul, and he would still be unable to use other soul skills.
However, if it were transformed into a Soul Spirit—which comes with its own soul ring and soul skills—it might not be subject to the Wish Tree's restrictions.
A Soul Spirit is like a television set, and Soul Skills are like TV channels; a Soul Master uses their spiritual power to convey their intent, causing the Soul Spirit to release the appropriate Soul Skill.
Although there is a slight delay, as long as they work in perfect harmony, the delay is essentially imperceptible.
As for Bai Zhou having the opponent voluntarily dispel its spiritual awareness, it was because he did not want a sentient soul spirit, lest his secret be exposed.
Although this meant Bai Zhou had to control the soul spirit himself, increasing his burden.
But Bai Zhou's spiritual power was so strong that he could naturally handle this burden.
"Human, I am willing to fuse with you of my own accord, but are you certain you can handle it?"
The Emerald-Scaled Nine-Absolute Flower spoke slowly.
The reason it agreed was simply that it had no choice but to submit—the other party had made it clear they intended to use its kin as leverage.
Even if forced to make a sacrifice, it would have to agree.
What it couldn't understand, however, was that this human merely wanted it to voluntarily fuse with the other party's martial soul—and even demanded that it disperse its own spiritual consciousness.
How is this any different from a sacrifice?
Moreover, a sacrifice requires absolutely no preconditions—it guarantees 100% acquisition of everything it possesses.
But fusion requires the Soul Master to possess immense spiritual power and physical strength; otherwise, they could easily be blown apart.
"Stop blabbering. Do as you're told, or I'll wipe out your entire clan."
Bai Zhou immediately waved his hand impatiently.
Although threatening the other party's clan members was a bit despicable, Bai Zhou didn't consider himself a man of conscience, so he felt no moral qualms.
"Xiao Bai, why not just let it be sacrificed… I've never heard of a Soul Master fusing with a Soul Beast before…" Although Xian Lin'er knew Bai Zhou had his own plans, she was still very worried.
As far as she knew, the only ways for a Soul Master to obtain a Soul Ring were by slaying a Soul Beast or through a Soul Beast's sacrifice. Well, legend also spoke of a third method: a Soul Ring bestowed by the gods.
However, the latter is merely a legend; no one is certain whether it's true or false.
Although there have been many "pioneers" throughout history who attempted to obtain Soul Rings through other means, none succeeded—at best, they lost all their cultivation; at worst, their bodies exploded and they died.
Such research has long been classified as taboo by Shrek Academy, and no one is permitted to study or even view it.
She didn't know where Bai Zhou had learned of this method, but it must carry significant risks.
"Don't worry, Teacher. I know what I'm doing."
Bai Zhou smiled confidently.
This wasn't him showing off; rather, he could sense that the spiritual power of the Emerald Phosphorus Nine-Extreme Flower before him was far inferior to his own.
Moreover, the opponent had just been severely wounded by Xian Lin'er.
This was an excellent opportunity for fusion. Even if the other party changed its mind and tried to cause trouble, or if the fusion unexpectedly failed, Bai Zhou was confident he would not suffer any harm.
This wasn't a risk—it was merely a bold attempt.
If it fails, he has nothing to lose.
If it succeeds, his Wishing Tree Martial Soul will be able to unleash other soul techniques—it's a win-win situation.
"All right, I believe in you!" Seeing Bai Zhou speak so resolutely, Xian Lin'er no longer tried to stop him. Instead, she turned her gaze to the Emerald Phosphorus Nine-Extreme Flower and coldly threatened, "You'd better obey, or else I swear I'll burn this place to ashes and eradicate every last seed!"
"Hmph! Since I've agreed, I certainly won't go back on my word. I only hope that after my consciousness fades, you won't break your promise!" The Bi Lin Nine-Extreme Flower snorted lightly and replied coldly.
"Rest assured, I'm not one to revel in killing. After all, killing you would be of no benefit to us. Enough small talk—let's get started." Bai Zhou hurriedly urged.
"Alright!"
The Emerald Phosphorus Nine-Extreme Flower was well aware of this, which was why it had agreed to the other party's terms.
Plant-type soul beasts are rare to begin with; were it not for the environment here, it would have been difficult for it to produce so many offspring.
As the ancestor of these Nine-Petaled Emerald Phosphorus Flowers, it naturally could not stand by and watch them being slaughtered.
"Let's begin."
Bai Zhou immediately summoned his Wishing Tree martial soul, directing it to extend its roots to envelop the Emerald-Scaled Nine-Absolute Flowers ahead.
In just a few moments, the Wish Tree's roots had completely enveloped the Emerald-Scaled Nine-Absolute Flower.
True to its word, the Emerald-Scaled Nine-Absolute Flower fully opened its mind and spiritual awareness, allowing Bai Zhou's Wish Tree to erode and fuse with it.
Though it seemed simple, this process required Bai Zhou's constant attention; he was practically fully immersed in the fusion, his mental energy highly concentrated, and the drain on his resources was immense.
After all, this was a 90,000-year-old Emerald-Scaled Nine-Absolute Flower; even ordinary Soul Douluos would not dare to attempt such a feat, let alone Bai Zhou, who was merely a Soul King.
Fortunately, Bai Zhou's spiritual power was incredibly formidable. Thanks to his rigorous cultivation and the boosts from the system's prize draws, his spiritual power even surpassed that of an average Titled Douluo, making him more than capable of absorbing a 90,000-year-old plant-type soul beast.
"Xiao Bai… you absolutely must succeed…"
Xian Lin'er watched this scene from the side, clenching her fists tightly as sweat beaded on her palms—she was clearly extremely nervous and worried.
Of course, she also kept a constant watch on the other Emerald Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers and Emerald Scaled Nine-Absolute Flowers around them, to prevent them from suddenly lashing out and interfering with Bai Zhou.
...
Time passed slowly.
The "Emerald-Scaled Nine-Absolute Flower," now wrapped tightly in a ball by the Wish Tree's roots, was also shrinking at a visible rate.
Three hours passed.
The Wishing Tree successfully fused with the Emerald-Scaled Nine-Exquisite Flower. Although the tree itself showed no outward changes, Bai Zhou's aura surged dramatically.
