As Iram Rai neared the end of her reserves of Ice Laws, desperation gnawed at her heart. In a final attempt, she reached out to connect the hidden Ice Laws within her body to the primary realm beyond, hoping to replenish her dwindling strength. Yet, just as she prepared herself, a strange sensation prickled at the back of her head. Startled, she turned her Divine Sense inward—and there, floating in the void behind her, was a pill.

  From this pill, streams of Ice Laws surged outward—but interwoven among them was another Law, sinister and cold: the Poison Law. Yet the two Laws were fused so seamlessly that they appeared as one. This intricate fusion made it difficult for Iram Rai to merge the new Law into her own cultivation.

  Through her Divine Sense, she peered deeper. Within the pill, not only did Law power roil, but pure elemental essences of Ice and Poison intertwined like twin dragons. Recognizing its nature, Iram Rai’s heart leapt. This was a Heaven and Earth Pill—a treasure so rare that only master alchemists of the Medicine Sect could create it, using Heaven and Earth treasures and legendary herbs.

  The worth of even a single ingredient used to forge such a pill was astronomical. Iram Rai could scarcely dream of possessing one; she lacked even a fraction of the spirit stones needed to purchase it.

  "I may bear the blood of royalty," she thought bitterly, "but my lineage was long ago wiped away by the sect cultivators' merciless hands. At that time, I had only just begun my path as a disciple."

  Yet reminiscing on the past would not change her fate. What mattered now was survival—and breakthrough. She needed to reach the Soul Transformation stage. Only then could she hope to seek vengeance for her slaughtered kin.

  Without further hesitation, she seized the pill and swallowed it whole. The moment it entered her body, a torrent of Ice Poison Elemental Essence burst through her meridians. She hastily activated her cultivation technique, guiding the volatile essence into every energy point across her form. Simultaneously, the fused Ice and Poison Laws coalesced into a glowing orb at the back of her head, inching closer to her soul and body.

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  This was the crucial step she had been waiting for—the fusion of Law, soul, and body, the very foundation needed for Soul Transformation.

  But almost immediately, her body cried out in agony. The vast and savage power of the Heaven and Earth Pill overwhelmed her vessel, threatening to tear her apart. Pain seared her nerves, twisting her organs and bones in torment.

  Panic flared in her heart. She was not alone within herself—there was the fragile life she carried. If the outpouring power was not controlled, it would not only destroy her body but also harm the child growing within her.

  Desperation sharpened her mind. She delved deeper into her being—and then, she felt it. Her Ice Soul Bone, embedded deep within, trembled as if answering a silent call.

  Seizing this chance, she directed the surging elemental essence toward her Ice Soul Bone. In response, the bone devoured the essence hungrily. White flames ignited, growing fiercer, and a pure coldness radiated from within her core. As the Ice Soul Bone blazed, her muscles, skin, and even her bones underwent tempering, strengthening far beyond their previous limits.

  Thus began her arduous cultivation. Days slipped by—one, two, three—each moment dragging on like an eternity as she fought to survive within the maelstrom of transformation.

  Gradually, as the Heaven and Earth Essence integrated into her body, the pain subsided. Her soul and Law power climbed steadily, pushing against the final limits of the Spirit Fusion stage.

  Inspecting herself, Iram Rai realized that both her spirit and soul had become whole. The time had come to begin the true fusion—the merging of her Ice Soul Bone and Moon Body with her immortal soul.

  Gritting her teeth against the mounting agony, she summoned all the Laws she had gathered. With precise control, she wove her soul into every fiber of her body—into her blood, her bones, her brain, and her heart. Every moment was torture, each breath a test of will. But Iram Rai had known worse. Once, when a foreign force had extracted deadly poison from her veins, she had suffered far greater agony. Compared to that ordeal, this was almost bearable.

  With the Heaven and Earth Pill as her anchor, she succeeded. Her soul and body became one, completing the fission phase of her transformation. Two-thirds of the pill’s vast power had already been consumed.

  "My soul and body fusion is complete," she thought, heart pounding. "But one final step remains. I must construct my Rule Divine Body outside of my original form. Only then will my breakthrough into the Soul Transformation stage be realized."

  She knew, however, that forming a Law Divine Body required a Divine Treasure resonating perfectly with her Law power. Yet she possessed no such treasure. The Half-Divine Ice Law Treasure she had once owned—she had foolishly given it away, blinded by love, to help another achieve their breakthrough.

  Regret flickered through her heart, but she forced it aside. There was no time for sentiment now. She would use whatever she had to forge her future, no matter how flawed the result.

  From her space bracelet, Iram Rai retrieved her remaining treasures: three Half-Step Divine Artifacts. None resonated perfectly with her Ice Poison Law. Each carried impurities that would surely taint the Divine Law Body she hoped to create, hampering her future breakthroughs.

  But she had no choice. Fate had long since ceased to offer her mercy.
