Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 225: Rune Fusion

"Swish!"

Ye An's head bumped against the ceiling.

After landing, he rubbed his head and a smile spread across his face.

I can fly!

He really can fly now!

Before, Ye An couldn't fly; he had to forcibly lift himself using martial willpower.

It was extremely exhausting!

But now, the Vermilion Bird Wings form was excellent and easy to control.

Vermilion Bird Wings were originally a fire attribute ability, but now, fused with Fist Art Fire, triggering War Fire, another ability that consumes martial willpower.

This meant that Vermilion Bird Wings could be enhanced by both elemental and martial willpower simultaneously!

No, no, no!

Ye An's mind raced.

Vermilion Bird Wings were just an extension of War Fire, an offshoot.

So, fundamentally, it should be said like this.

After War Fire merges with Vermilion Bird Fire, it can be simultaneously amplified by martial willpower and elemental power.

Ye An was shocked!

"I'm invincible!" he couldn't help but say.

Previously, the strength of War Fire equaled the strength of martial willpower.

But now, the strength of War Fire equals martial willpower multiplied by elemental strength.

Doubling it?

Possibly even more than that!

Does this mean I can also cultivate elemental powers?

No conflict now, and elemental power is very useful.

Wait!

Ye An took a deep breath, recalling immediately the teachings of the Vermilion Bird Lord.

Focus a little, reach the peak, everything else is just a gift from heaven.

Yes.

Ye An nodded silently.

Focus everything on the fist, and elemental power is just a bonus.

However, Ye An must also enhance his elemental and spiritual realms.

Because he still had a trump card of Three Realms in One.

But that's it.

He wouldn't delve into anything related to elemental and spiritual realms, just elevate his state!

"Alright, that's it."

Once Ye An entered a deep contemplative state, he would start pacing back and forth, talking to himself.

"Focus on the fist."

"Xuanwu Earth..."

Ye An took a deep breath. Could Xuanwu Earth be attached to War Fire?

The Five Elements generate and overcome each other.

Fire generates Earth.

"Ah..." Ye An was a bit excited.

He immediately began to try it out.

Xuanwu Earth covered his entire body, transforming into armor.

War Fire activated!

In an instant, Ye An's pupils contracted.

It works!

It really works!

Fire generates Earth!

Xuanwu Earth becomes even more substantial within War Fire!

"No, this is still not enough."

Ye An took another deep breath.

Because he immediately noticed something.

Using Xuanwu Earth and Vermilion Bird Fire simultaneously increased the consumption of his source energy.

Vermilion Bird Fire was fine; even without source energy, it could use martial willpower.

Ye An had much more martial willpower than source energy, so he didn't mind this level of consumption.

But Xuanwu Earth couldn't; it relied solely on elemental power.

No fusion!

Right now, it was War Fire (Vermilion Bird Fire and War Fire skill rune) plus Xuanwu Earth.

What he wanted was pure War Fire (Vermilion Bird Fire plus War Fire rune plus Xuanwu Earth).

He wanted the three to merge, allowing martial willpower to also amplify Xuanwu Earth.

With martial willpower as the main force, under normal circumstances, only martial willpower would be used, making the source energy in the spiritual mansion the hidden energy source on the back, becoming one of the trump cards!

How to do it?

Vermilion Bird Fire itself is only elemental power, but it is later integrated into the War Fire rune.

As long as he understood how Vermilion Bird Fire and War Fire merged, then replicated this operation, he could integrate Xuanwu Earth as well.

Rune fusion?

This seems like an advanced operation.

Ye An took a deep breath and looked out the window.

It shouldn't take a few hours to get to Vermilion Bird Star without passing through security.

When encountering something incomprehensible, seek the Vermilion Bird!

Ye An was very anxious, waiting for a few hours before immediately ascending to the Vermilion Bird Stage and loudly proclaiming, "Vermilion Bird Lord!"

"There's something Ye An wishes to seek advice on."

The Vermilion Bird appeared and asked, "What is it?"

Ye An immediately expressed his thoughts, wanting to merge Xuanwu Earth with War Fire.

The Vermilion Bird was surprised and said, "Fire generates Earth, indeed... I hadn't thought of that."

"I originally intended for your Xuanwu Earth to merge with the Landslide skill rune."

"Now, as you put it..."

"I understand."

"You want to know the secrets of rune fusion, right?"

Ye An hurriedly nodded.

The Vermilion Bird calmly said, "Runes are divided into three major categories."

"The first, Talent Runes."

"The second, Skill Runes."

"The third, Special Attribute Runes."

"My Vermilion Bird Fire and your Xuanwu Earth belong to the third category."

"Although it gives you access to my innate abilities, even if you practice to the extreme, you can only achieve about sixty percent of mine."

"Because talent isn't just about a rune, it also involves factors like bloodline."

"So, this category is classified as Special Attribute Runes."

"These three types of runes can all fuse with each other."

Ye An's face slightly changed, his pupils suddenly contracting.

The Vermilion Bird continued calmly, "You heard me right, even Talent Runes can fuse with each other."

"There are three methods of fusion."

"One is Technique."

"The martial arts manual you possess should have techniques for the fusion of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain."

"This is a case of one generation planting trees for the next to enjoy the shade."

"To research such a technique, not only do you need talent, but also time."

"The academies affiliated with the Hall of the Human King have specialized departments in rune fusion. To obtain a professorship, you must present research results. In your limited lifetime, merging two runes into one is the goal."

"This technique is replicable and learnable."

The Vermilion Bird smiled, "If you visit the rune fusion department of the Tianyi Academy, you will find that most professors there are old men who have spent half their lives buried in the yellow earth."

"Merging two runes into one is the lifelong pursuit of many."

"So you should have a clear idea in your mind."

"Rune fusion is as difficult as reaching the sky."

"The second method is Enlightenment."

"For example, your Vermilion Bird Fire and War Fire."

"When you are on the verge of death, you unlock the seal I left on you, coincidentally draped in War Fire, and everything mysteriously merges together."

"In the boundless realms, anything is possible."

"But this method cannot be replicated; it is an absolute stroke of luck, unattainable."

"The third method is Rune Fusion Stones."

"Commonly known as Dao Stones."

"Dao Stones are among the most expensive treasures in the realms, divided into five grades."

"Ten Dao Stones."

"A Hundred Dao Stones."

"A Thousand Dao Stones."

"Ten Thousand Dao Stones."

"Grand Dao Stones."

"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, grand."

"These five grades represent the success rate of rune fusion."

"A Grand Dao Stone can definitely achieve fusion success. Often, those prodigies with many talents, as they grow into their later stages, crave a Ten Thousand Dao Stone."

"Because if a Talent Rune fusion fails, the risk is immense."

"If a Skill Rune fusion fails, it's just a matter of starting over."

"If a Special Attribute Rune fusion fails, the worst-case scenario is losing that special attribute."

"But if a Talent Rune fusion fails, it's highly probable that you'll lose that talent."

"This can turn many powerhouses into useless individuals overnight."

"So everyone seeks stability and aims for a Ten Thousand Dao Stone."

"But such high-level celestial treasures are rarely seen even once in many lifetimes."

The Vermilion Bird looked calmly at Ye An and said, "I know you're in a hurry."

"But don't rush."

"If you want to merge Xuanwu Earth into War Fire, it won't happen overnight."
