Chapter 172: Fusing the Mark, the New Master of the Demon Plane
Lei Chen's gaze was profound, as if he had already seen through the future intertwined destinies of the two planes.
He stared at the dark purple God Position mark slowly rotating in his palm, which emitted an aura of chaos and destruction. His voice was calm yet carried an unquestionable decisiveness as it clearly reached Du Busi's ears:
"Fuse with this mark and become the Demon Plane Master. For you, it is an opportunity as well as a responsibility. This is only the first step. I have other arrangements for you..."
Du Busi's heart jolted, and he immediately suppressed all distracting thoughts born of ecstasy. With an incredibly solemn expression, he bowed and replied, "Please give your instructions! Your Subordinate will certainly comply without a second word!"
To him, the will of the Plane Master was the highest decree, let alone a request following the gift of such a world-shaking fortune.
Lei Chen nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Du Busi's attitude, and continued, "After you successfully fuse the mark and take control of this plane's authority, what I need you to do is guide this entire Demon Plane... to actively merge into our world. What do you think?"
Once these words were spoken, Du Busi was first stunned, but then a flash of realization and relief crossed his eyes. Without any hesitation, he responded in a booming voice:
"The Plane Master has great foresight; your Subordinate completely agrees! I am originally a living being of our world; my roots are in our world, and my soul is in our world. To receive your appreciation and be granted such an opportunity is already a great fortune. How could I dare to have delusions of carving out a territory or being independent? Merging this Demon Plane into our world to strengthen our world's origin is exactly my wish! Furthermore..."
His tone paused, looking at Lei Chen with heartfelt awe. "With an existence of your heaven-reaching ability presiding over our world, we only need to follow closely in your footsteps; that is the best choice. Being independent outside may seem like freedom, but in reality, it's like being rootless duckweed. How could it compare to the stability and grand future of relying on you and growing together with our world? Whether considering loyalty or pros and cons, your arrangement is the wisest and most correct path for me!"
Du Busi's words came from the bottom of his heart. He had long been accustomed to the mountains, rivers, and cultural atmosphere of the Douluo Plane. To let him stay long-term in this barren land filled only with sulfur, lava, and twisted demonic creatures as a 'local emperor' would instead make him feel stifled and uncomfortable. More importantly, he knew Lei Chen's strength and potential; clinging tightly to the thighs of this Plane Master was far more promising than guarding a plane at the Second-Tier God level.
Being able to bring a plane back to Douluo as capital was definitely a great achievement for him, and it would make his future status in the Douluo Plane even more secure.
Seeing that Du Busi had no objections, clear thoughts, and a firm attitude, a hint of approval flashed in Lei Chen's eyes, and he said no more.
"That is good then."
With a gentle push of his palm, the dark purple God Position mark, which carried the supreme authority of the Demon Plane, was drawn by an invisible force and slowly floated towards Du Busi.
Du Busi took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and reached out with those giant hands capable of shaking mountains and splitting the earth, carefully cupping the mark.
The moment his fingertips touched the mark, a bone-chilling yet violent sensation of power instantly spread through his entire body.
He no longer hesitated, holding the mark in his hands and slowly guiding it to the center of his brow.
"Fuse!"
Du Busi gave a low shout, fully circulating his majestic divine power which had reached the God-level, while simultaneously drawing on his blood essence to push the power of the Body Sect's secret techniques to the limit. The area between his eyebrows glowed slightly, as if turning into an invisible vortex, generating a powerful suction.
The dark purple God Position mark seemed to feel the call of a source power of the same origin, or perhaps it could not resist the guidance of a true God-level powerhouse. It suddenly burst with light, and the Demon Totem patterns upon it seemed to come alive, turning into flows of dark purple light. Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they actively and fiercely surged into Du Busi's brow!
"Buzz—!"
The very instant the mark completely vanished into his brow, Du Busi's entire body gave a violent jolt!
A plane origin power, far more massive and pure than before, was like a burst dam, crashing into his limbs, bones, meridians, and soul core!
This power was full of the characteristics of the Demon Plane—chaos, violence, and filled with whispers of destruction and temptation.
If it were someone with a weak will or insufficient cultivation, their mind would be instantly eroded by this power, and they might even be assimilated by it, turning into a monster that only knew destruction.
However, who was Du Busi? He was the Sect Master of the Body Sect who, through great perseverance and wisdom, had tempered his physical body to the limit, finally breaking the mortal boundary to achieve Godhood. The firmness of his will was like divine iron tempered a thousand times, long since indestructible.
Furthermore, his current cultivation was a solid Rank 105 God-level realm, and his life level had undergone an essential leap. This plane mark, which was only equivalent to the Second-Tier God level, was not enough to shake him.
Facing the chaotic law power that tried to erode his mind, a silent roar erupted from the depths of Du Busi's soul. The brilliant divine might of a God-level powerhouse merged with the pure blood essence of his Body Martial Soul, turning into a majestic and upright will that suppressed everything. Like hot sun melting snow, it instantly washed away those chaotic whispers and temptations!
He took only the pure energy and the most fundamental plane rule authority, while completely rejecting and purifying the negative power contained within.
The whole process seemed dangerous, but in reality, it wasn't too difficult for Du Busi; his God-level cultivation made the fusion process exceptionally smooth.
As the massive amount of plane origin power was rapidly absorbed and refined, Du Busi's aura began to climb frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye!
His already incomparably powerful physical body, after receiving the nourishment of this plane origin, emitted a roar like muffled thunder. His blood essence was like a dragon, and a layer of dark gold luster faintly flowed on the surface of his skin, as if every inch of flesh contained the mighty power to shatter stars.
And the connection between him and the entire Demon Plane became clearer and tighter. A sense of 'control' spontaneously arose, as if with just a thought, he could mobilize the mountains, rivers, lava, and ground fires of this plane, and even decide the life and death of all the demonic creatures living within it!
He'saw' Mu En, Ye Xishui, and the others who were fighting fiercely with demons in various places, and he 'felt' the fear and wailing remaining in the depths of the plane because the previous Plane Master had been stripped away and had not yet completely settled.
Time passed bit by bit. Du Busi floated in mid-air like an old monk in meditation, his body enveloped by rich dark purple energy radiance. But the core of that radiance was always his body, which was as stable as a sea-calming needle and emitted a majestic divine might.
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps a moment, perhaps several hours, the dark purple light enveloping his body suddenly retracted inward. Like a whale sucking in water, it all vanished into his brow.
Du Busi's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!
"Boom!"
An aura far more vast and majestic than before swept out like a storm, stirring the dark red clouds around him. A sharp light burst from his eyes, and in the depths of his pupils, a miniature shadow of the Demon Plane seemed to flash by. Between his every gesture, he already carried a supreme majesty that controlled the life and death of a world!
He had successfully fused the God Position mark. At this moment, he was the rightful new ruler of this Demon Plane!
