The familiar sensation returned, bringing Quan Yi a sense of relief, but within it lay a surprising circumstance.
Quan Yi's fire immunity was a trait of his martial soul, only activating for protection when he wore the Scorching Sun Gauntlets.
However, at this moment, Quan Yi discovered that his body had entered a state of fire immunity even without summoning his martial soul.
Through mental probing, Quan Yi realized that this was because, during the process of the martial soul's origin reconnecting with his body, the fire immunity attribute hidden within the sturdy gauntlets had flowed into Quan Yi's body.
Quan Yi could feel his body's resistance to fire constantly strengthening.
Reshaping the martial soul was, in essence, also a process of reshaping the body.
As the connection between the martial soul's origin and the body grew stronger, both were profoundly influencing each other.
The martial soul's origin, contained within the Ultimate Gold, was like a seed sprouting from its shell under the infusion of fire-attribute soul power that shared the same source.
The emergence of Ultimate Fire was that probing sprout.
Having regained his fire immunity, Quan Yi released all the accumulated fire energy within his body to its limit.
The incandescent white fire-attribute energy was excessively compressed, as thick as magma.
However, in the face of the domineering nature of the fire immunity attribute, the magma had no effect on Quan Yi at all.
Feeling his meridians filled with energy, Quan Yi's confidence grew even stronger.
The incandescent white magma, under the circulation of the meridians throughout his body, rapidly transformed into fire-attribute soul power.
The newly converted soul power, without lingering for long, was entirely transferred by Quan Yi into the martial soul space.
Faced with the nearly limitless infusion of energy, the dark gold little dragon comfortably let out a dragon's roar.
Immediately afterward, it transformed from a dragon shape back into a smooth, spherical form, and split in the middle into two spheres.
It was under these circumstances that the soul hidden within the metal revealed its true appearance.
A scarlet dragon-shaped soul rushed out of the sphere, wandering in the martial soul space.
Quan Yi knew that this was a special lifeform born within the martial soul after sublimation.
Indeed, it was life.
This form of existence was even more advanced than the spirituality born from the Zenith Sun Dragon Knight Spear.
Quan Yi could feel that this dragon soul possessed a special life with its own autonomous consciousness.
Upon seeing this dragon soul, he immediately thought of Huo Wu's sycamore tree.
Quan Yi had been forging for many years and had never encountered such a situation.
He still clearly remembered the final nine consecutive hammer strikes, which caused undulating vibrations on the surface of the sphere, followed by an instantaneous burst of sublimated light.
It was at that moment that the red hammer shattered, transforming into spiritual power, soul power, and vitality, merging into the interior of the Ultimate Gold.
This also made Quan Yi's connection with it even closer.
However, besides this matter, there was actually another thing that happened at this time that Quan Yi did not even notice.
Due to the destruction of the red hammer, Quan Yi's mind fell into a brief state of distraction.
It was during this time that the Ultimate Gold, which Quan Yi had endowed with the breath of life, actually attracted something special from the depths of the Yang Spring.
That was a wisp of the Dragon Soul's origin, hidden in the deepest part of the spring.
At the bottom of this Ice and Fire Spring, there were actually buried the corpses of two Dragon Kings.
They were named Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.
They were among the nine sons of the Dragon God, the ancestor of soul beasts.
Moreover, both Dragon Kings possessed god-level strength before their deaths.
Later, due to various encounters, the corpses of the two Dragon Kings fell to this place, transforming into spring water, nourishing all things.
However, even though the Dragon Kings had died, their Dragon Souls had not perished.
The Dragon Soul's origin, without consciousness, without wisdom, and without form, floated in the depths of the spring.
However, even so, at the moment when the Ultimate Gold sublimated, the breath of life it emitted stirred the Dragon Soul's instinct for survival.
Driven by instinct, it flew to the location where Quan Yi was.
The speed of the soul's movement was comparable to the speed of light.
In addition, the scarlet dragon horn on Quan Yi's forehead drove the flow of energy at the bottom with terrifying energy absorption, accelerating the Dragon Soul's approach.
At this time, the Dragon Soul floating in the martial soul space was a special product of the fusion of the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Soul and the spirituality of the Ultimate Gold.
Because the Ultimate Gold happened to contain Quan Yi's martial soul origin, this Dragon Soul had also become a part of his martial soul by chance.
Of course, Quan Yi was not aware of this.
He could only draw on the spirituality born from the Zenith Sun Dragon Knight Spear to speculate that this Dragon Soul was a higher-level existence than the former.
In fact, Quan Yi's speculation was not wrong.
Forging has levels.
Causing metal to produce spirituality is one level, endowing metal with life is another level, and causing metal to give birth to autonomous consciousness is a higher level.
According to the levels, the Dragon Soul in the martial soul space and the Ultimate Gold should belong to the third, and the Zenith Sun Dragon Knight Spear can be regarded as the second.
However, the problem is that, with Quan Yi's level, he is actually far from reaching the third level.
However, due to the intrusion of the Dragon Soul's origin, the Ultimate Gold was forcibly pulled across to the third level.
Generally, in this situation, the strength of the metal itself would not meet the standard, causing the intelligence to be unable to adapt.
However, as the ultimate of gold, it actually does not need any hammering to perfectly adapt to the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Soul.
Quan Yi hammered the Ultimate Gold entirely for the purpose of rebuilding the connection.
However, having said that, even if the Ultimate Gold could adapt to the Dragon Soul, without Quan Yi's hammering, it would not be able to sublimate into life and attract the Dragon Soul.
It can only be said that various coincidences were superimposed together, jointly constructing a situation that Quan Yi could not have predicted.
A vermilion dot suddenly appeared on the surface of the two equally divided metal spheres.
Moreover, the red dot grew larger and larger with the input of soul power.
The Yang Flame纹路, symbolizing the Ultimate Fire, instantly dyed the entire metal surface.
At the same time, the two spheres became flat and began to extend outward, as if to form a special shape.
Another hour passed, and under the massive infusion of soul power, the process of reshaping the martial soul was nearing its end.
Within the martial soul space, the two Ultimate Gold finally revealed their final shape.
It was a pair of metal gauntlets with a special shape.
Unlike the previous Scorching Sun Gauntlets, they were very thin, and their shape was completely matched with Quan Yi's hands.
The position of the back of the hand even highlighted the distinct protrusions of the knuckles.
Besides this, there was also a point worth noting that the ten fingertips of the gauntlets were not oval, but sharp claw-shaped extending forward.
The sharp fingertips flowed with a faint golden glow, and even just looking at them would cause the pupils to ache faintly.
The sharp aura of the Ultimate Gold was vividly displayed at the claw tips.
Just before the martial soul was completely formed, the Dragon Soul suspended in the sky was shaking its little head, choosing a residence it wanted to live in.
