Ice Fire Dragon King God Bone, Asura's Scheme!

"Rumor has it that the depths of the Ice Fire Spring are where the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings lie. If that's where their bodies are, then there must be Soul Bones there. I just don't know if I'll have the fortune to earn their recognition."

Speaking of earning their recognition, Chen Chu felt quite uncertain. Although he hadn't officially undergone the Asura God's God Position Inheritance yet, he had been exposed to its aura. If they discovered it, then...

He was gambling. First, he gambled that the two Dragon Kings weren't strong enough to detect it. Second, he gambled that the Asura God would save him at the last moment. The Asura God couldn't possibly watch his successor die at the hands of his past enemies, could he?

As he slowly descended towards the bottom of the spring, the surrounding light grew dimmer and dimmer, until Chen Chu saw a vast basin, or perhaps a crater-like pit.

Inside were the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Chen Chu looked around suspiciously. It seemed too quiet. Could it be that the two Dragon Kings were already completely dead?

He didn't quite dare to believe it as he continued to approach the two skeletons. Sure enough, when he was less than a hundred meters away, something unexpected happened.

Chen Chu's steps halted abruptly, and the hairs on his body stood on end. The previously calm spring water began to churn violently, and two distinct pressures swept towards him from the direction of the skeletons.

"Human, how dare you!"

An ancient and majestic voice echoed through the spring. There was no specific source, but it shook Chen Chu, forcing him to retreat rapidly until he slammed heavily against the rock wall.

A sweet taste flooded his throat. He forcibly suppressed the blood welling up and cupped his hands, saying solemnly, "Junior Chen Chu, I meant no offense to the Dragon King seniors, and I have no ill intentions."

"No ill intentions?" another cold voice rang out. Two blurry figures emerged from the water, one red and one blue, corresponding to the Ice and Fire skeletons. "You carry the aura of the Asura God, and you still claim to have no ill intentions? When he slew our Dragon Clan disciples back then, he didn't talk about 'no ill intentions'!"

Chen Chu's heart sank. The worst had happened.

He clenched his fists, his voice steady. "Seniors, please understand. Although I have a connection with the Asura God, I have never condoned his actions against the Dragon Clan. I came here only to seek fortune. If I gain fortune, I will surely protect the descendants of the Dragon Clan in the future."

"Protect the descendants of the Dragon Clan?" the red figure sneered, the scorching heat wave instantly boiling the surrounding water. "A successor of the Asura God claims to want to protect the Dragon Clan? Do you think we've become fools after sleeping for ten thousand years?"

Before the words finished, a stream of crimson-gold flame shot out from the skeletons, heading straight for Chen Chu's face.

Chen Chu's pupils contracted sharply. He quickly circulated the Ice Fire Power within him, forming a shield in front of him. As soon as the flame touched the shield, it began to sizzle and crackle, and the shield was instantly covered in fissures.

"Pfft!" Chen Chu was once again blown back by the wave of heat, crashing against the rock wall. Blood finally spurted from his mouth.

He struggled to get up, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, his gaze unchanged. "If seniors do not believe me, I am willing to swear upon my Martial Soul. If I gain fortune today, I will never 'actively' harm a single member of the Dragon Clan in this life. If I break this oath, may my soul be scattered and my life extinguished!"

A brief silence fell over the spring floor after his words. A moment later, the blue figure slowly floated closer, bringing with it an icy aura. "A Martial Soul oath? Human oaths are the cheapest. Do you even believe what you're saying?"

The Ice Dragon King's remnant soul let out a cold laugh, then suddenly changed its tone. "However, it's not impossible for you to receive our inheritance, but..."

A turn of events, a glimmer of hope. Chen Chu's heart was even more ecstatic. He quickly asked, "But what? If I can do it, then there's no problem."

What a joke. Once I have the goods, who cares about all this? It's just to fool dragons.

"You only need to hand this Dragon Pearl of ours over to the descendants of the Dragon Clan. As for who you give it to, that's your business. Furthermore, I hope that after you become a god, you can have them accompany you to the heavens."

The Fire Dragon King spoke at the opportune moment, spitting out two items: one was his Soul Bone, the Fire Dragon King's Left Arm Bone, and the other was the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Pearl.

"Accompany me to the heavens?" Chen Chu frowned slightly. Soul Beasts couldn't ascend to the heavens; everyone knew that. Was he supposed to waste a spot for two beasts?

Although he thought this in his heart, he put on a thoughtful expression and nodded. "Junior agrees. If I successfully ascend to the God Realm in the future, I will definitely grant two divine official positions to your successors."

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings exchanged glances, each took out a Soul Bone and a Dragon Pearl, and flew towards Chen Chu.

"Since that is the case, we shall bestow our remaining Soul Bones upon you, human. Accept our final gift."

Two dragon roars echoed. The Fire Dragon King's Left Arm Bone and the Ice Dragon King's Right Arm Bone attached themselves to Chen Chu's arms.

This time, Chen Chu felt no pain. Instead, he felt incredibly comfortable, so much so that he couldn't resist the fatigue and fell into a deep sleep.

While he slept, the voices of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings echoed again. "He is the only one in ten thousand years to enter this place. Although he is the Asura's successor, he is still stronger than an ordinary mortal. Since the inheritance has been passed on, we can also rest in peace and dissipate into this world!"

The voices gradually faded, and the auras of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings completely vanished from the world.

God Realm

Asura God Palace. The Asura God, holding part of the central authority, once again extended his divine sense to the lower realm, and was greatly surprised.

"This kid's Martial Soul has actually evolved again. This aura on him is... the aura of those two dragons? It seems I haven't been paying attention. In these past few days that I haven't been watching, he's had quite a few opportunities."

Sensing Chen Chu's changes, the Asura God was not as satisfied as expected. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a divine official outside the door reported an urgent matter, pulling his thoughts back to reality. "Your Highness, the Sea God is requesting an audience outside the palace."

"Let him in."

By the Ice Fire Spring, Chen Chu groggily woke up. The Ice Fire Dragon King's divine bones had completely merged into his body. In his storage ring, two dragon pearls, alternating between red and blue, were suspended.

He walked out of the spring, used his Soul Power to dry the moisture from his body, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down cross-legged and began to thoroughly examine his body.

"Sagros, possess me!" Chen Chu silently chanted. A sharper aura surged out, and a faint red-black killing intent permeated him. His dual scythes were clearly even sharper than before, and they also emitted an Ice Fire aura.

"As expected, my plan was not wrong. King Sagros has evolved. It is now Saint King Sagros, and it has been tempered by the divine bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings and Immortal Herbs, making it far more powerful than a normal Saint King Sagros."

"What about my Soul Power? As expected, it directly reached level seventy. It seems the energy from the Immortal Herbs and divine bones was immense enough to not only force the Martial Soul to advance but also increase my Soul Power by five levels."

"And it seems to be more than five levels. Perhaps I'll only be able to draw a definitive conclusion after obtaining the seventh Soul Ring."

After understanding the extent of his improvements, Chen Chu began to plan his choice for the seventh Soul Ring.

"The Heaven Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python – these are all good choices. Perhaps it's time to act."
