My Talent Panel Can Add Points

However, the speed of repair was far from catching up with the cracking. New fissures continuously appeared, the old gaps kept expanding, and the entire armor surface seemed like a spider web about to shatter.

The Flame Dragon Soul roared inside the armor, the sound waves causing lava to splash.

Suddenly, a strange flame ignited on the cracked surface of the armor, a flame so fierce and hot yet containing endless life force.

The Phoenix’s Embers!

The undying flames burned intensely, re-converging and repairing the shattered armor. The Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor, which had absorbed the remnants of the Phoenix Armor, erupted with the power of baptism of fire, initiating nirvana within the volcano.

But the speed of nirvana was not fast; the speed of collapse was faster than repair. Even though the Flame Dragon Soul fought desperately to mend, the armor turned into more and more fragments that couldn’t be truly repaired.

Not enough!

Those flames are not enough!

It needs more, more flames, stronger phoenix fire!

”No!”

”We absolutely cannot stop here!”

Ye Mingqiu took a deep breath and retrieved a treasure from the Spirit Realm’s Storage Space.

This is a super precious treasure, of unparalleled value.

”Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~”

Ye Mingqiu took deep breaths, feeling heartache thinking about what he was about to do, but to let the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor successfully evolve, all this was worth it.

If he retreats now, what would all past efforts mean? What would past battles mean!

All in!

Everything is all in!!

The fire feather spun and fell, cutting through the scorching air and dragging out a brilliant light trail.

At the moment the fire feather touched the armor surface’s phoenix fire, time and sound seemed to be extracted.

A silent ripple spread with the point of contact as the center, where it passed, the lava solidified for a moment, the heat wave calmed down for a while.

Then...

The Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor completely shattered!

Not a simple crack but transformed into countless burning fragments, shooting around like a bursting star. Each fragment carried part of the Flame Dragon Soul’s will and the Phoenix’s Nirvana Fire, drawing thousands of fire lines in the air.

The roar of the Flame Dragon Soul reached its peak, no longer a howl of anguish but a prolonged song of transformation.

The fragments did not fall but floated in midair, beginning to rotate and reorganize in some mysterious trajectory. Nirvana’s flames shuttled and weaved within, completely fusing the broken armor with the power of the Phoenix Fire Feather.

A whole new form gradually took shape!

Smoother contours, deeper crimson, with what appeared to be faint phoenix emblems on the surface.

Ye Mingqiu quietly observed all this, the hot wind lifted his hair in front of his forehead, the transformative flames reflecting in his eyes, as if igniting two clusters of eternal stars.

It’s going to succeed!

It’s going to succeed soon!

Next...

”Crack!”

A crisp sound of shattering came forth, it was the core formed by the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor, the reversed scale, the core carrying the armor’s power now cracked, the once reversed scales now unable to bear such immense power.

And the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor kept shattering and reorganizing and then shattering and reorganizing again!

This process seemed like an endless torment, the roar of the Flame Dragon Soul had turned from initial fury to a howl almost of despair, yet it still did not give up.

Every time it shattered, it would use a stronger will to gather the fragments again, squeezing to the extreme the nirvana power flowing in the Phoenix Fire Feather.

”Just hold on a little longer!”

”Just a little longer and it’ll be fine!”

Ye Mingqiu stood on the edge of the volcano crater, the shock wave from the armor shattering ruffled his robe, scorching sparks burned pinholes into it.

He could feel the Flame Dragon Soul’s pain and struggle, a difficult trek seeking rebirth at the brink of destruction, even though he possessed [Ancient Black Dragon’s Reversed Scale], he absolutely couldn’t use it now because it would dishonor the efforts of the Flame Dragon Soul.

Replacing the core could sure bring direct success, but the issue is, to fuse and bear more of the phoenix’s power, it needed more mastery of the phoenix’s flames, only then could [Phoenix’s Fire Feather] be completely exerted to its fullest potential, not merely as material increasing the success rate.

Every shattering of the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor integrated more undying fire into the armor, allowing it to further fuse with the phoenix’s flames and traits, it marked an advanced process.

Thus, he couldn’t directly use the reversed scale.

”Almost there!”

”About to complete soon!”

Ye Mingqiu retrieved [Ancient Black Dragon’s Reversed Scale] from the Spirit Realm Storage Space, a chilling ancient oppression erupted, even the surrounding volcanic air seemed a lot heavier.

He glared at the interior of the volcano, watching the desperate struggle of the Flame Dragon Soul, gritted his teeth, and exerted the effect of [Innate Perception] to the extreme.

Once he detected in the perception view that the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor was about to shatter, he would directly throw [Ancient Black Dragon’s Reversed Scale] to prevent failure.

”Hoo~”

Ye Mingqiu took a deep breath, the volcano’s scorching air seared his airways.

Soon after, the Flame Dragon Soul gradually lost vitality, the struggling power diminished, and the surface of the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor became increasingly crimson, with the phoenix aura growing richer; the fusion recovery process became increasingly smoother, while the phoenix’s flamers also began dying down gradually.

It succeeded!

Ye Mingqiu’s eyes brightened, directly threw [Ancient Black Dragon’s Reversed Scale] into the volcano.

The pitch-black reversed scale spun as it fell, drawing a pitch-black trail, dimming even the lava light for a moment. When the scale touched the continually regrouping shattered armor fragments, a new transformation commenced again.

The Black Dragon Reversed Scale hovered in the center of Nirvana Fire, starting slow rotations.

With each rotation, a network of dark gold energy pulses extended from it, rooting like veins into the surrounding armor fragments. Those fragments no longer scattered chaotically but were orderly guided and arranged by these dark gold veins.

A new core emerged!

The whole new armor was gradually forming!

Using the Black Dragon Reversed Scale as the heart, dark gold reversed scale energy veins as blood vessels, Flame Dragon Soul as soul, Nirvana Fire as bloodline, and the pure fire element provided by the volcano as muscles and bones, gradually constituting an entirely new armor.

The first to take shape was the breastplate.

Heavy and fierce, the center embedded with the shrunk [Ancient Black Dragon’s Reversed Scale], surrounded by dragon head relief, with flames seemingly eternally burning in the open dragon maw.

Next was the shoulder plates, shaped like a coiled dragon head, with dragon eye positions flashing the red glow of Flame Dragon Soul, the mighty heavy armor showcasing its posture.

The entire process lasted for a long time, until the volcano area sky transitioned from dim to pitch black, invariably dyed with eternal red hues by the lava light.

Finally, when the final piece of armor condensed into completion amidst Nirvana Fire, a sky-shattering long howl burst from the armor.

”Roar!!”

The sound wave materialized into a concussion, causing the lava within the crater to undulate, yet without creating substantial damage, after all, this was a high spiritual energy concentration area, if it significantly affected the environment here, this armor would be too formidable.

The brand new armor, completed!

It hovered in the air, presenting a gradient of dark red and pitch black tones, its surface flowing with energy veins interwoven in gold-red and dark gold, terrifying dragon might and phoenix flames burning fiercely.

Then, this armor transformed into a dark red stream of light, shooting skyward, whirling a circle above the volcano crater, creating whistling hot wind and echo of dragonsong, finally steadily descending before Ye Mingqiu, floating half a foot off the ground.
