• Zhu Zhuyun secretly took out a small horsewhip and handed it to Lu Yuan, who wondered what she meant by it.

• Lu Yuan sensed a strange silver vine and discovered that it devoured the Spatial Power he touched it with.
• He injected more Spatial Power into the vine, which sprang to life and pierced the back of his hand.
• The vine’s roots withered as its silver sap flowed into Lu Yuan, while its rootless middle section continued floating and delivering sap.

Lu Yuan endured the silver vine’s transformation as it grew eight short spears from his back, then faced a descending guillotine after the eye on his forehead awakened. A mysterious finger stopped and erased the guillotine, while a magnificent blade aura pierced the God Realm, leaving the gods alarmed.

• The silver vine turned to ash after releasing its sap, and a silver short spear emerged from Lu Yuan’s back; more spears grew as he endured the wounds and treated them with hemostatic powder.
• Lu Yuan’s forehead eye opened, his soul seemed to separate from his body, and a golden spark from the eye slowed time as a guillotine descended toward him.
• Lu Yuan escaped the guillotine by plunging into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Di Tian poured Soul Power into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who then collapsed unconscious.
• Di Tian’s roar and the roars of three other powerful beasts shattered Liu Erlong’s Martial Soul Avatar, so Liu Erlong fled with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

• A gorgeous, multicolored Blade Qi pierced through the God Realm, prompting the God of Destruction and Asura to rush toward its source.

As Lu Yuan sank through the lake, severe injuries and the Soul Imprint’s stalled activation left him unable to escape the worsening cold and heat. The Ice Dragon King chose to stake his life on the dragonkind’s new hope, and the spring of ultimate frost began to churn into a vortex.

After Lu Yuan was swept into the vortex at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he awoke in his old home and briefly believed he had returned to his former life, only to find his family gone. He then woke in a strange white space, wrapped in golden and silver light and facing two elderly dragons.

• Lu Yuan noticed two smiling elderly dragons standing before him, their dragon horns uncovered.

• The Ice Dragon King explained that he had trusted the Emerald Dragon King and Time Dragon King’s judgment after sensing their powers in Lu Yuan’s blood, while the Fire Dragon King revealed their dragon souls had shattered.

• Lu Yuan was ejected to the bottom of the lake, where red and blue blood entered his body and shattered his bones and flesh.
• Lu Yuan’s body rapidly regenerated, devoured the Cold Poison and fire poison, and eventually opened its eyes.

Lu Yuan tested the Ice Dragon King's left arm bone and the Fire Dragon King's right arm bone, revealing their powerful defensive and offensive abilities. After the soul bones vanished, his Soul Imprint showed signs of evolving, and he prepared to explore his changed Martial Soul.

• Lu Yuan used the Ice Dragon King's left arm bone to freeze a towering wave and the Fire Dragon King's right arm bone to melt the ice wall.
• Lu Yuan examined the two hundred-thousand-year arm bones and reflected that their true age might be far higher.
• Weide emerged from the sling bag and ran to Lu Yuan after the wave's impact never came.
• Lu Yuan removed the arm guards and noticed his Soul Imprint had gained a golden border and a stronger sense of space.
• Lu Yuan changed clothes, comforted Weide, and tied his long hair into a makeshift ponytail.
