Chapter 1037: Spell Fusion
After selecting the Spells, Vale considered adding some essence, but he wasn’t sure if it was a good idea or not. After all, this fusion affects his advancement to the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Whatever... Let’s try it for now."
[ You have selected Night Grasp, Grave Mist, Soul Tethering, and Dusk Sphere. ]
[ All Spell Models are Max Level. Fusion requires any additional Essence or additional Energy to assist with the Fusion. ]
"Ohh... I need to add, huh..." Vale muttered as this was the first time this had happened.
Supposedly, adding Essence was just optional. He could add it to increase the success rate and affect the path of the Fusion. But it wasn’t a requirement at all.
However, it seemed that the ten Perfect Realm Immortal Spells were a bit too high-level for a casual fusion.
"Alright... Let me add something."
Without hesitation, Vale decided to add 15,000 Immortal Essence. Anyway, he had limited use of them. He didn’t mind losing a huge chunk of it.
"Please be good." Vale prayed as this was a huge amount of Immortal Essence.
[ You have selected Night Grasp, Grave Mist, Soul Tethering, Dusk Sphere, and 15,000 Immortal Essence. ]
[ Slots have been filled. ]
[ Do you want to start the Fusion? ]
"Yes."
Suddenly, the temperature in the chamber dropped as the system’s energy flow began.
His body warmed, then burned, as a mysterious power spilled from his core...
This was such a new experience for him...
For a moment, he thought it would succeed—until the mysterious energy retreated from within his body...
"What?" Vale was confused as he saw the message.
[ Fusion Failed ]
[ 100 Divinity Points consumed to stabilize backlash. ]
"Ugh... That’s a lot of Divinity Points." Vale commented, but it was still acceptable if it would keep his body alright.
He could just try again.
Thankfully, the 15,000 Points of Immortal Essence weren’t used up, and the Spell Models weren’t damaged or downgraded at all.
"Whew~"
Still, Vale was disappointed with the result...
"Is it not compatible? These are all shadow-type spells. Or maybe not enough essence?"
There was no other choice... He had to continue and make some changes.
He started the process again—this time feeding more Immortal Essence into the fusion.
Second attempt.
20,000 Immortal Essence was added instead of just 15,000.
Still, the threads wouldn’t hold.
This fusion made him feel like it was truly happening within his body and not just the system...
During the fusion, he somehow felt that the Grave Mist’s domain kept collapsing into Dusk Sphere’s structure; the anchoring points of Night Grasp were also getting unstable during the process.
[ Fusion Failed ]
[ Second Failure Cause: Domain-spatial interference. ]
[ 200 Divinity Points consumed to stabilize backlash. ]
Thankfully, the second failure had already given him the clue for failing the process.
Vale clicked his tongue. "Fine... let’s push it further."
Soon, he brought out almost all his reserves.
24,000 Immortal Essence.
Then, he tried adding 6,000 Corrupted Immortal Essence—the kind he’d gathered from Demon Saints. To be honest, he wasn’t sure why, but he felt that some corruption might help him due to his physique.
Then, he continued with the process.
"So you can actually accept multiple essences this time... Good." He muttered after confirming that two types of Essence could be accepted.
Soon, Vale started the fusion, but as the Spell Models started to merge, they just suddenly broke apart violently! The recoil had even shaken the cultivation array beneath him.
"Oooff---"
Vale felt some damage within his body... However, he knew that he was getting close!
[ Fusion Failed ]
[ Third Failure Cause: Soul-binding conflict with Grave Mist’s null parameters. ]
[ 800 Divinity Points consumed to stabilize backlash. ]
Vale wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Although he used 800 points to stabilize the backlash, it only assisted him in preventing his Spell Models from being destroyed and consuming all his Essence...
"So it’s the tethering... Fine. Let’s see what you do with fiend-tainted essence."
He pushed Fiend Essence into the fusion process next, followed by Malevolent Essence.
He knew that these two types of Essence could help with any Soul-Related spells after all.
Soon, finally, the reaction was more volatile than before...
However, for some reason, it still failed...
"Ugh... This is getting frustrating..."
[ Fusion Failed ]
[ Fourth Failure Cause: Essence saturation exceeded threshold. ]
[ 150 Divinity Points consumed to stabilize backlash. ]
Still, the fact that only 150 Divinity Points were consumed made him aware that he was super close.
Vale closed his eyes again as he used his Divine Sense on himself to understand what he was missing...
"Should I try the Cursed Essence?"
The Cursed Essence had fundamental rule-breaking properties. It was dangerous, unpredictable—and exactly the sort of thing this stubborn fusion might need.
He wove it into the process—5,000 points of Cursed Essence paired with 30,000 points of Immortal Essence.
[ You have selected Night Grasp, Grave Mist, Soul Tethering, Dusk Sphere, and 24,000 Immortal Essence, 6,000 Corrupted Immortal Essence, 2,000 Fiend Essence, 4,000 Malevolent Essence, and 3,500 Cursed Essence. ]
[ Slots have been filled. ]
[ Do you want to start the Fusion? ]
"Yes!"
The moment the process began, he felt it—an entirely different resonance within his body!
Soon, the threads of shadow didn’t just start merging this time. It was as if they bit into each other, locking into place.
The Grave Mist’s Spell Model didn’t collapse into the Dusk Sphere; it fed it.
The Night Grasp’s Spell Model anchors didn’t distort; they rooted themselves in the very core of the new Spell Model that was being developed...
Then, he felt that the Soul Tethering’s bindings didn’t rebel—they became the heart of the fusion.
Vale was excited as he felt the changes within his body...
[ Fusion Successful ]
[ Night Grasp, Grave Mist, Soul Tethering, and Dusk Sphere have merged into the Umbral Dominion Spell Model. ]
[ You have 5 seconds to undo the Fusion, which will cost 1,000 Divinity Points. ]
Vale’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw the result!
"Umbral Dominion..." He muttered with excitement.
