How could Time Stasis possibly hold Gu Shenggo? In less than three seconds, Gu Shenggo broke free. The golden greatsword radiated overwhelming might as it swept through everything in its path, slashing at the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor and cleaving it in two as easily as a knife through tofu.

"The feel is wrong."

Gu Shenggo suddenly realized that something was wrong with the sensation of the cut. The enormous Jade Scale Serpent Emperor had turned into two pieces of shed snakeskin that fell to the ground, transformed into specks of light, and vanished before his eyes.

He instantly understood. Dugu Bo had escaped, using a skin-shedding soul skill when Time Stasis activated.

"Hmph!" Gu Shenggo snorted coldly. His spiritual power instantly covered a hundred-meter radius, and he sensed thousands of Jade Scale Serpents fleeing in every direction across the ground. He had no idea which one was Dugu Bo's true body.

Forget it. Gu Shenggo did not bother with it any further. His target was not Dugu Bo, but the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. There was no need to waste effort pursuing him.

Gu Shenggo looked at the ruined, crater-riddled ground. His figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was extraordinarily unique. Rare and exotic plants covered the ground in countless forms, gathering poisons and tonics from across the world. Numerous Immortal Grade Herbs grew there as well, spiritual energy permeating the air as rosy clouds shimmered—a place like an earthly paradise.

Gu Shenggo appeared before the Ice and Fire spring. Steam billowed upward, twisting the air into a strange sight. Two mutually reinforcing yet opposing energies spread out, and even before approaching, he could feel the extreme heat and cold, both profoundly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Gu Shenggo wore the Solomon Armor. Otherwise, he would not have fared well.

Looking at the two Immortal Grade Herbs in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Gu Shenggo showed no interest. His goal was not some mere Immortal Grade Herbs.

It was the Dragon King Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings!

"I remember the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' bones are buried beneath this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Gu Shenggo surveyed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, considering whether to dig straight through it. His hand rested on the Book of Solomon as he pondered the most secure method of excavation.

After a long while, Gu Shenggo suddenly came to his senses. He could use the Book of Solomon's spatial transfer to move the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into the Chen Ge Pot.

That was a good idea.

Gu Shenggo took out the Chen Ge Pot and spread his spiritual power, opening a dimensional passage. At the same time, he pressed the Book of Solomon, and a surge of spatial energy emerged, sweeping over and enveloping the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As he activated the Book of Solomon again, the hill where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well stood vanished into thin air.

Inside the Chen Ge Pot, a hill emitting scorching heat appeared within the inner world. It merged with that small world, becoming part of the Chen Ge Pot.

From that day onward, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well no longer existed on Douluo Continent.

As the hill vanished, a bottomless pit appeared in the ground. Two tremendous energies erupted from within, as though their outlet had been unsealed, pouring out without end. The sky turned red and blue, the colors continuously spreading and staining the heavens.

Braving the erupting extreme cold and heat, Gu Shenggo charged into the pit and continued downward. The deeper he went, the more intense the energy became. Even a Titled Douluo could not withstand it and would be scoured away by this immense power, reduced to nothingness.

The Solomon Armor feared no energy bombardment at all. It even began absorbing the energy and turning it to its own use.

Gradually, red and blue patterns appeared upon the originally golden armor. Different markings emerged along its arms as well: blazing crimson patterns surfaced on the left arm, while icy blue patterns appeared on the right.

Gu Shenggo noticed the changes in the Solomon Armor but was not surprised. This was one of its abilities—to absorb foreign energy and make it part of itself.

He did not know how long he had descended. Perhaps it had been minutes, perhaps centuries. At last, Gu Shenggo touched the bottom.

Before him lay two incomparably massive Dragon King Bones, each at least several hundred meters long. Standing before them, Gu Shenggo was as tiny as an ant.

The bones of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King radiated terrifying energy. Extreme cold and extreme heat filled the entire underground space. If not for the Solomon Armor, Gu Shenggo would likely have been melted before long.

Gu Shenggo raised his hand, intending to store the two Dragon King Bones in the system space, but he was obstructed.

The system space could only store ownerless objects. In other words, the two Dragon King Bones before him still had owners—their dragon souls remained!

Gu Shenggo immediately recalled that the fifth part of the Douluo series seemed to mention that the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings still existed.

As though sensing the system's power, the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, which had been slumbering within the bones, awakened.

"ROAR!!!"

Two earth-shaking dragon roars rang out, deafening in their force. Had Gu Shenggo not been protected by the Solomon Armor, the terrifying roars would have shattered him.

Although the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings possessed only their dragon souls, they still retained demigod-level strength and could easily crush a Limit Douluo.

Upon hearing the terrifying dragon roars, the soul beasts of Sunset Forest began fleeing in panic. A small-scale beast tide formed and swept through the entire forest, killing an unknown number of soul masters who had been hunting soul beasts there.

At the same time, in the core region of Star Dou Great Forest, within the Lake of Life, the Silver Dragon King sensed the roars of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Her sleeping consciousness stirred slightly, but eventually returned to calm, leaving behind only a sigh.

Gu Shenggo looked at the two demigod dragon souls emerging from the bones before him. The dragon souls, each hundreds of meters long, emitted terrifying auras. The opposing energies of extreme cold and heat grew even more intense, gradually merging together into a chaotic mass.

This chaotic energy was even more terrifying. Even Gu Shenggo felt his heart tremble, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead beneath the mask.

"Human, you should not have disturbed our slumber."

The Fire Dragon King looked down at Gu Shenggo, who was as small as an ant. His voice was deep and resounding, echoing through the space. Wisps of flame sprayed from His nostrils, revealing His anger.

Gu Shenggo instantly became vigilant. He gripped the Golden King Arthur Sword tightly and assumed a battle stance.

Seeing that Gu Shenggo actually intended to fight, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings burst into laughter as though they had witnessed a joke. Their laughter shook the underground space and continued for a long time.

"Human, you wish to fight this king? You truly overestimate yourself. However, the armor on you is rather unusual. It gives me a feeling similar to the power of a Creator God. Interesting."

The Ice Dragon King exhaled terrifying cold air, His enormous dragon eyes fixed upon the Solomon Armor as His voice carried a note of surprise.

The Fire Dragon King also noticed Gu Shenggo's Solomon Armor and likewise sensed a power similar to that of a Creator God.

A different thought arose in Their hearts. If They could seize the Solomon Armor and use it as Their vessel, They would be able to walk the world once more.

The reason Their dragon souls had endured for so long was because They relied on Their bones from life, but those same bones restricted Them from leaving.

Gu Shenggo's arrival gave Them a new idea.

Noticing the change in the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' gazes, Gu Shenggo sensed Their intentions and immediately turned to flee. This made the two dragon souls anxious. This was Their chance to walk the continent, so They transformed into two streaks of soul light and rushed at Gu Shenggo, passing through the Solomon Armor and entering his body.

(Let's go!!!)
