Mythic Arcane Strike

"Whenever you use Arcane Strike to enhance your weapons, the effect lasts for 1 minute instead of 1 round. If you expend one use of mythic power when using Arcane Strike, you can also add any one magic weapon special ability with a base price modifier of +1 to your weapons. This base price modifier increases to +2 at 4th tier, +3 at 7th tier, and +4 at 10th tier."

I am confused about how this stacks with pre-existing magical weapons and the paladin divine bond. If I have a 1st level bard, 9th level paladin, mythic 4 - with a +2 dragon-bane battle axe can I use divine bond and mythic arcane strike to make it a +5 dragon-bane, negating battle axe? Yes I know that divine bond takes a standard action and mythic arcane strike takes a swift action, but both effects last for at least a minute. I just haven't seen anything that says these abilities don't stack, but mythic tier seems a little early to be able to run around with +8 equivalent weapons that can be modified to have almost any magical power.

*Enhancement bonus may not go above +5

Enhancement bonus + properties may not go above +10 equivalent.

Other than this, Arcane Strike, Divine Bond, Warrior Spirit, etc. all stack.

*Bane and Furious can push the effective enhancement bonus above +5 while active.

Thanks, that is how we are playing it. I am DM and my PC is a two-weapon sword and board paladin that makes shield bash and a long sword pretty amazing when both get bane. With mythic tiers, I understand that power balance is out the window, but I guess that it will start to level out when he is using a weapon with a +7 total bonus and can only add +3 bonus enhancements to it.
