The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' Gift: Obtaining Divine-level Soul Bones
The Fire Dragon King remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Chen.
"Boy," the Fire Dragon King's voice was deep, carrying an undisguised threat, "If you dare to lie to us, even if we are annihilated, we'll drag you down with us!"
The moment the words fell, a powerful dragon's might erupted from the Fire Dragon King's lingering will. A crimson phantom surged in the air, and scorching waves of air pressed down on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's body suddenly sank, his legs felt like they were filled with lead, and two shallow cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet.
His shoulders slumped, and even breathing became extremely difficult. The powerful dragon's might suppressed his body and simultaneously suppressed his soul.
But Lin Chen gritted his teeth, withstood the pressure, and forced himself to speak, "I, Lin Chen, am a man of my word, and I would never lie to you two seniors."
The Fire Dragon King remained silent, and did not withdraw his dragon might.
Lin Chen took a deep breath and continued, "If you two seniors don't believe me, I can swear that I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to discuss this matter with the Silver Dragon King."
"The Silver Dragon King is the ruler of Soul Beasts. With her as a witness, you two should believe me, right?"
The Ice Dragon King's voice rang out. "You actually know where our master is hiding? Just who are you?"
"Of course I know where she is," Lin Chen nodded. "She's been sleeping deep in the forest. Once I have enough strength, I'll naturally go find her and tell her everything that happened today."
"If you two seniors think I'm lying, then come with me to find the Silver Dragon King."
Upon hearing this, the Fire Dragon King let out a cold snort and finally withdrew his dragon might.
The oppressive feeling receded like the tide, and Lin Chen's shoulders relaxed abruptly as he gasped for breath.
The Fire Dragon King looked at Lin Chen and said in a low voice, "You'd better remember what you said today."
The Ice Dragon King said nothing more, but glanced back at the Fire Dragon King. The remnants of the two dragons stared at each other for a moment, and then simultaneously let out a low roar.
The roar echoed through the spacious underground space, making Lin Chen's eardrums ache.
Immediately afterwards, light shone from both of the enormous dragon corpses.
Ice-blue and fiery-red light seeped out from between the scales, running down the dragon corpse's spine and converging at its two hind legs.
The light grew stronger and brighter, bathing the entire space in icy blue and fiery red hues.
Then two beams of light shot out from the dragon corpse, drawing two arcs in mid-air before landing steadily in Lin Chen's hand.
Lin Chen looked down and saw the two Soul Bones lying quietly in his palm.
The piece on the left is entirely ice-blue, crystal clear, with fine dragon scale patterns on its surface, and feels icy cold to the touch.
The one on the right is fiery red, as hot as magma, and the dragon patterns on its surface look like flowing flames.
The energy emanating from the two Soul Bones was extremely rich. Even just holding them in his palm, Lin Chen could feel the power far exceeding any Soul Bone he had ever seen before. Even the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone was not worthy of comparison.
The ice-blue Soul Bone is the right leg bone, while the fiery red one is the left leg bone.
Just as Lin Chen was examining the Soul Bone, the lingering wills of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King changed once again.
The phantom images of the two giant dragons began to blur, and tiny specks of light scattered from their edges, drifting towards the two Soul Bones in Lin Chen's hands.
"Our Divine Sense will be attached to our Soul Bones." The Ice Dragon King's voice came from the phantom, growing softer and softer. "Although the power contained within our Soul Bones has dissipated considerably over the years, they are still Divine-level Soul Bones."
Your current body cannot withstand the full power. We will use our divine soul power to seal most of the energy, and then unseal it once you become stronger.
The Fire Dragon King's voice followed. "But let me make this clear from the start: if we discover you've lied, we can unleash the energy within your Soul Bone at any time to destroy your body."
"Rest assured, seniors," Lin Chen said with a smile as he carefully put away the two Soul Bones. "Since I promised, I won't go back on my word."
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings did not respond further. The phantoms of the two giant dragons completely transformed into specks of light and merged into the Soul Bone.
Only two enormous dragon corpses remained in the vast underground space, lying quietly in place, utterly silent.
Lin Chen looked down at the two Soul Bones in his hand.
Although most of the energy in the two Divine-level Soul Bones was sealed, the remaining small portion was still extremely valuable.
His heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
Even after a long period of time and with most of its power sealed by the divine soul, the remaining portion of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's Divine-level Soul Bone still far surpasses that of ordinary Soul Bones.
If he can absorb these two Soul Bones, his Soul Power Level will definitely increase significantly, and the gap between level 53 and level 60 can be completely bridged by these two Soul Bones.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, put the two Soul Bones into his Storage Soul Ring, and turned to walk towards the passage.
He didn't absorb the Soul Bone here. Although the spiritual energy around the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's corpse was rich, absorbing the Soul Bone was not something that could be done in a short time.
Since Dugu Bo is still waiting upstairs, it would be much safer to take the Soul Bone out first and find a quiet place to absorb it slowly than to rush into action here.
The passage remained unchanged, the narrow rock walls illuminated by light of both ice and fire, and the pressure of the spring water squeezed in from all directions.
Lin Chen went upstream along the passage, much faster than when he came down.
Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo sat on a rock by the spring, looking somewhat anxious.
He looked up at the sky. A long time had passed since Lin Chen went down; the sun had shifted from noon to the west, and the light in the valley had dimmed.
"Why has he been here so long? I hope something happened to him down there." Dugu Bo muttered to himself, stood up, walked to the spring, and looked down into the water.
The pool was calm, its icy blue and fiery red colors clearly distinct. No one could be seen in sight.
Dugu Bo frowned, about to release his Soul Power to probe the water, when the surface suddenly churned.
A ripple spread outwards from the center of the pool, which was a mixture of ice and fire colors. A silver-white figure darted out from underwater, splashing water as it landed on the stone platform on the shore.
Lin Chen was soaked to the bone, his hair plastered to his face, but his expression was very energetic. "Senior Dugu, I'm back."
Dugu Bo glanced at him, then relaxed and sat back down on the rock. "Why did you take so long?"
"It's deeper than I thought, and it took us a while to find our way," Lin Chen replied casually, wringing out the water from his clothes.
