Soul Fusion!

Entering a meditative state he entered his mindscape once again hoping that nothing will happen.

Inside he saw the same library and cracks on the floor, but the sapling was gone, which confirmed his guess that the entity came from the sapling, however, he still didn't understand how he got it, yet one new thing was that there were a lot of Void Qi floating around the place, sticking to things or fused with items which made the items shiny.

Lucifer was confused by all of this and what has happened to him considering that he has never heard of any such phenomenon, though he moved towards the Void Qi to see what will happen, and when he came in contact with them, he was relieved because nothing happened.

'Looks like it did fuse with my body and soul, but was it done correctly?'

Even though he had doubts he threw them to the back of his mind and continued to look around to try and find out what is different besides that.

He found nothing new in there thus he moved towards where his soul was located inside his mindscape, and it was inside a different 'room,' and found that his soul that was as big as an ocean decreased to the size of a large swimming pool, which just proves how close to death he was, yet his soul's purity increased tremendously, and his soul completely fused with his body, so he could stop worrying about his personality changing anymore, that is without him doing anything, but he still had to be careful.

'It seems that everything is fine, for now at least.'

He exited his mindscape yet he didn't stop meditating as he began scanning his body next to try and see the changes if there were any, which took place.

He scanned his blood, organs, muscles, bone and his dantian to see what changed, but what he saw shocked him.

He saw that his blood turned from red to a mix between black and red which looked cool, but it also helped in circulation, which will cause him to utilise his power and body better. His organs grew a bit smaller yet it seemed stronger than before, almost like when your muscles are contracted to increase power, making all his body functions even better, including his memory. Talking about contracted muscles, that was exactly what happened to him, his muscles looked like they tightened, which made his physique a bit slimmer but he looked shredded. The bone increased in density, which increased his power output and finally his dantian. His dantian expanded thus it could hold more Qi, his Qi also went from pure white to a mixture of white and black just like his blood, but the strangest was the black diamond-shaped object he saw above his Qi-sea.

He 'looked' closer, which is more like sensing with his Qi since he can't use his soul power, at the diamond and felt that it felt familiar, yet didn't seem complete. The closer he got the better he could 'see' the diamond object, but he 'saw' a small figure inside the diamond which he couldn't identify, yet he came to the conclusion that it must be the soul of someone extremely evil since it gave was black and gave him a very ominous feeling. He thought of who it could be, but he could only think of the old man/sapling/entity that caused him to be so heavily injured.

'Maybe I absorbed some of his soul when I absorbed the Void Qi from the surroundings, and the fact that he was a ghost of sorts made it easier for me to do that, but this soul isn't complete so does that mean he escaped?'

The more he thought about it the more certain he was that he was right. He looked at the soul and smirked as he moved towards it, circulated his Heavenly Devouring skill as he placed his 'left hand' on the diamond and used it.

*Woosh*

He felt a surge of overwhelming power surge through his meridians, but even though it was a bit overwhelming it felt like there was a cool breeze flowing throughout his body, which was an addicting feeling and made him feel refreshed beyond what he has ever felt.

This sensation lasted for a mere moment before disappearing, thus he had to concentrate on the power currently flowing through him as he directed it towards the area between his eyebrows as he will use this soul to empower and strengthen his soul, hopefully making him be able to use his soul power once again.

Minutes turned to hours, turned to days that turned to weeks since he entered closed-door cultivation and tried to fuse the soul of the old man with his, and even though it was tough he persisted through it all.

Finally, after two weeks he exited meditation with a smile, as he spread his soul power out, which could now cover an area of about ten kilometres yet he only covered his room to try and see his surroundings.

When he did, he could feel his surroundings, making it possible for him to see, and he looked at his left hand, willing his Qi towards it. Moments later a black and white flame appeared above his palm, and while looking at it he was in deep thought.

'The fusion of that soul with mine made a real change. Now my Qi looks like flames, hehe. Maybe I can prank the others with it.'

He thought of random things and things to do for fun, which would have been very abnormal for him a few weeks ago, yet while he thought of random things he was also playing with his Qi, turning it into different shapes as he began thinking about it.

'My control over my Qi increased tremendously, the density and purity of it increased, so maybe...'

He trailed off as he glanced at the half of his missing right arm before he willed his Qi to move towards it. In mere moments black and white Qi congregated at the stump of his missing arm as it began pilling on top of one another, forming a shape of an arm. In seconds he saw that a black and white arm that was translucent but physically manifested, smiling at his success he dissipated it because it took to much Qi to keep active constantly, but maybe he could do it in the future.

'It seems it is possible to form a new arm with Qi, however, it will continuously eat at my Qi reserves and a pill to regrow a limb required resources we don't have nor do we know if we can get it.'

After thinking he stood up, stretched his body as he walked towards the door intending to go talk to the rest and find a new pair of clothes since he was still wearing the pair he fought the man in, which was ripped into shreds with his upper body exposed and his trousers ripped in some places.

He grinned at the thought of Elizabeth's reaction when she saw him, before continuing to the door.
