Fire Dragon King
"Hey, Senior Dugu, we're in luck! This Blue Silver King actually dropped Soul Bone."
"Is that so? I think it must have harbored great resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect during its lifetime. It must have been tough for them."
Dugu Bo had no idea when the Clear Sky Sect had offended this powerful figure, but as long as it wasn't targeting the Dugu Family, the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect was no big deal and had nothing to do with him.
He watched as Xu Mingxi collected the Soul Bone of the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King and followed behind him with Dugu Yan.
It would be a lie to say that Dugu Bo was completely uninterested in this Soul Bone, but he had no reason to speak up since he hadn't killed the Blue Silver King, and he didn't want to offend Xu Mingxi and the Star Crown Sect.
Now, relying on his unparalleled poison skills, he is highly regarded within the Star Crown Sect. However, the descendants of the Dugu Family may not have such an opportunity to evolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and then into the Jade Phosphorous Flood Dragon.
As long as the Star Crown Sect allows the Dugu Family to continue peacefully, what does it matter if they ask him to hand over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
Xu Mingxi was unaware of Dugu Bo's thoughts. If he had known, he would have wholeheartedly agreed. He swiftly traversed the forest and arrived once again at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the great treasure land that had brought the Star Crown Sect to prominence.
"Speaking of which, there is still a Lovesick Heartbreak Red Sausage and a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in the sect that we haven't used yet. Perhaps we can use one of them to win over Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo? But it feels a bit like a loss."
It's not that Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo aren't strong; both are level 94 Titled Douluo, and with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they are definitely among the strongest on the continent.
Even with their help, the Star Crown Sect couldn't defeat the Spirit Hall, and without them, other forces wouldn't dare to provoke the Star Crown Sect. This made the existence of Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo somewhat delicate, as if they were dispensable.
The poison array set up by Dugu Bo outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well still exists, only slightly damaged, and there are some corpses nearby, most likely Soul Beast from Sunset Forest that accidentally wandered in.
"Mingxi, you can wander around here by yourself for now. I'll take Yanyan back to get some medicinal herbs to help her strengthen her body."
"Alright, Senior Dugu, please feel free to do as you please."
Xu Mingxi walked alone in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Having consumed the two immortal Immortal Herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, he was no longer afraid of the extreme power of ice and fire here.
Without even glancing at the thriving high-grade herbs beside him, he flew straight to the sky above the Blazing Yang Spring, his left hand enveloped in sunlight, and slowly reached into the Yang Spring.
It's not hot, you can go in. Xu Mingxi withdrew her hand, the sunlight enveloping her whole body as she entered the Yang Spring and began to swim towards the bottom of the lake.
The crimson spring water completely enveloped Xu Mingxi. As he continued to descend, he slowly felt the surrounding temperature rising. Even the solar shield could not completely protect him from the high temperature of the lake water.
With the activation of her eighth Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Overbody, Xu Mingxi's body was covered with a thin red film, which insulated her from the high temperature outside.
However, the good times didn't last long. Even with the double protection of sunlight and Blazing Sun Overbody, the high temperature penetrated into the protective shield, Xu Mingxi could only rely on her body, which had been weakened by taking the Infernal Delicate Apricot, to endure it.
Fortunately, he could already see the situation at the bottom of the lake. Under the crimson lake water was a huge skeleton. Xu Mingxi guessed that this was most likely the corpse of the legendary Fire Dragon King.
He forced himself to continue swimming downstream and quickly examined the remains of the Fire Dragon King, only to be greatly disappointed. There was nothing like the Million-Year Soul Bone that netizens from his previous life had mentioned. The energy of the two dragon kings' corpses had likely all been transformed into these two magical springs.
Just as Xu Mingxi swam upstream, a glimmer of light appeared in the eye sockets of the Fire Dragon King's skeleton in the Blazing Yang Spring.
A flash of fiery red light streaked past, and Xu Mingxi's Spiritual Defense Soul Tool shattered instantly. He could feel something invading his Sea of Consciousness.
His expression changed, and the Golden Crow Turns Rainbow skill of the 100,000-year-old Sun Flame Crow Soul Bone Skill was activated. Golden Crow Wings appeared behind him, and he instantly rushed out of Yangtan, lay down on the shore, and his mind was completely immersed in the Sea of Consciousness.
The moment he entered the Sea of Consciousness, he felt a scorching heat rush towards him, and what came into his view was a huge, fiery red creature.
A giant, entirely red dragon suddenly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, like a blazing flame, exuding a powerful and ancient aura.
"You are... the Fire Dragon King? What do you want?"
"Young man, do not be impulsive. I am but a remnant soul. I sensed the presence of an old friend and came in to take a look."
"An old friend? I wonder who you are referring to, senior."
"Star God, junior, you should have obtained a fragment of his godhood. It seems he has also perished in that great battle."
Fragments of the Star God? Xu Mingxi's mind seemed to have been opened up, and some of his previous doubts were instantly answered, but new doubts arose.
Why is there Star God Divine Spark status in the assessment of the Sun Moon Dual Gods? What is the relationship between them? And what is that pitch-black Crystal Ball that was given to me?
Most importantly, could the Yue Shen's final words, "The most loyal to you is the Radiance of Ten Thousand Stars," possibly refer to the Star God?
"Senior, do you know the relationship between the Star God and the Sun Moon Dual Gods?"
"What? The Sun God and Yue Shen sisters are still alive? That's a good thing. Now that you've received the inheritance of the Star God, I'll tell you all about it."
Once upon a time, the Star God was the elder brother of the Sun Moon Dual Gods. All three of them were friends of our Soul Beast Clan and controlled the three lights of the world: the Sun Moon Star.
Unfortunately, a great battle later occurred, and all the Deity of the Soul Beast lineage perished. Now it seems that the Star God was implicated because of us.
"Does the senior know that they have a jet-black Crystal Ball in their hands?"
"I'm not too sure about that. Alright, junior, I'm going back to continue my slumber. Don't even think about the Soul Bone; there's no such thing."
The energy from my and the old water dragon's corpses has long since transformed into these two springs. You could plant some Immortal Herbs or something nearby, though.
The dragon's shadow vanished without a trace. Xu Mingxi, now fully awake, removed the cracked level-eight Spiritual Defense Soul Tool from her neck, feeling a slight pang of heartache.
"Come out if you want, can't you be a little gentler?" However, the words of the Fire Dragon King's remnant soul did give Xu Mingxi a hint: if he wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Sun Moon Dual Gods, perhaps he could start with this Star God.
The appearance of Starlight and the words of the Yue Shen during the trials in Sun Moon Valley were definitely not accidental. Perhaps the key to lighting up that pitch-black Crystal Ball lies with this Star God.
Xu Mingxi took out the black Crystal Ball again and tried to inject Starlight into it, but there was still no change, so he had no choice but to put it away.
