Dragon King Skeleton, Martial Soul Evolution, Ice Flame Dragon King

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yu Mingfei stretched out his limbs, his entire body trembling as he drifted unsteadily in the Divine Spring where bone-chilling cold and blazing heat met.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot within his body continuously released their medicinal properties under the stimulation of the spring water.

The tyrannical medicinal power repeatedly tempered Yu Mingfei's body.

The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone also actively pushed [Wildfires cannot burn it all; when the spring breeze blows, it grows anew] to its limit, endlessly pouring out life force to repair Yu Mingfei's injuries.

A trace of Ah Yin's will within this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had originally fallen dormant, but it was now stirred awake once more by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the two highly toxic Immortal Herbs.

Yet she was not a complete soul, merely a trace of spiritual will. There was no way she could withstand the forces of the extreme Divine Spring and the toxic Immortal Herbs clashing against one another.

She could only struggle before being worn away completely.

Yu Mingfei's consciousness had already begun to blur. He persisted only through instinct and the unwillingness in his heart.

There were countless Immortal Herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and quite a few of them had remarkable effects on Martial Souls.

Take the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, for example. It was a Pure Yang Immortal Grade and possessed nourishing properties.

After fusing his Martial Soul with Liu Erlong's, Yu Mingfei's Dragon Race Trash Martial Soul had devoured a trace of Fire Dragon Bloodline from her.

It had already begun to mutate in the direction of a fire dragon.

Logically speaking, this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower should have suited him better than the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

So why would he rather give up the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and absorb those two highly toxic Immortal Herbs through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

Because he was unwilling!

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was indeed more suitable for him.

But if he wanted to make full use of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had to consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Only then could he fully adapt to the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and enter and leave it freely.

Rather than barely remaining here only by relying on the Poison Pill refined by Dugu Bo.

Under normal circumstances, there was a limit to how many Immortal Herbs each person could consume.

Even after digesting an Immortal Herb, it would leave behind a corresponding aura within the body.

When consuming other Immortal Herbs, that aura would affect the absorption process.

One careless mistake, and the medicinal effects would be wasted at best; at worst, it would harm the consumer.

In the past, Yu Mingfei had only dared to make plans by borrowing his family's power. All he sought was to evolve his Martial Soul and continue down the path of a Soul Master.

But now that he had subdued Dugu Bo and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was entirely under his control, how could Yu Mingfei be content with using only one Immortal Herb?

He wanted to use the favorable terrain of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to rapidly absorb Immortal Herbs, wear away their lingering auras, and then use even more Immortal Herbs!

He would gather every stroke of fortune upon himself!

With the aid of World-shattering Wisdom, he believed he could do it!

The pain of the Divine Spring tempering his body far surpassed anything Yu Mingfei had endured before.

But that was nothing. So long as he was not dead, he could endure it.

What he alone could not endure was letting an opportunity right before his eyes slip away because of fear and hesitation.

Before treating Dugu Yan last night, he had given the two of them time to prepare themselves mentally.

After the treatment ended, Yu Mingfei sat outside the wooden cottage, threw away the Poison Pill Dugu Bo had given him, and experienced the violent aura of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well alone.

He had been preparing himself as well.

Only after Dugu Bo returned and arranged Dugu Yan's follow-up treatment did Yu Mingfei take the first step toward transformation.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well continuously stimulated the medicinal properties of the two highly toxic Immortal Herbs within Yu Mingfei's body.

His body was endlessly tempered amid destruction and rebirth.

The Eight Spider Lances fused with his Spine also began to stir under the stimulation of the medicinal power and spring water.

This External Soul Bone, produced by a Man Faced Demon Spider, had originally been incomparably toxic. Yet after being purified by the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid, it had lost all toxicity.

For a Soul Bone, that was a form of damage.

At this moment, the spring water, the toxic Immortal Herbs, and the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone—four forces in total—threw Yu Mingfei's body into utter chaos.

The medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot was the most violent. Extreme flame and cold continuously tempered Yu Mingfei's organs, flesh, and bones.

The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone put out fires everywhere, frantically pouring out life energy as though it cost nothing.

Meanwhile, the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well used its own aura of coexisting ice and fire, of mutually generating heat and cold, to harmonize the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs and merge it with Yu Mingfei.

Under such circumstances, the lingering ferocity of the Man Faced Demon Spider within the Eight Spider Lances was also awakened, madly devouring everything within Yu Mingfei's body.

But it was merely a remnant from a Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even the spiritual will of the Blue Silver Emperor had been ground away, so how could the ferocity of a Man Faced Demon Spider possibly endure?

The devouring instinct of the Eight Spider Lances had been activated, but as Yu Mingfei had no attention to spare and the Man Faced Demon Spider's ferocity vanished, this devouring power completely lost control.

Under the pressure of the medicinal power from the two toxic Immortal Herbs, the Soul Bone energy of the Eight Spider Lances, originally divided into eight, was forced to begin devouring itself amid the chaos.

Seven streams...

Six streams...

Four streams...

Two streams...

Like raising venomous insects, the strongest was determined internally before facing external challenges.

Until... the strongest stream of Eight Spider Lances energy devoured the other seven, completely fused with Yu Mingfei, and pierced through his Spine.

The mutated External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, having lost control, went completely berserk.

This External Soul Bone already possessed devouring power. After the eight-into-one process of raising venomous insects, that devouring ability was strengthened to the extreme.

It initially seized a place on the battlefield within Yu Mingfei's body.

The toxicity of the two Immortal Herbs, the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, and the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's spring water.

Those four forces began to be devoured by it bit by bit.

Like Yu Mingfei, this External Soul Bone also underwent destruction and rebirth.

The Eight Spider Lances abandoned their original Spider Legs form and, following Yu Mingfei's mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline, began to assume a new shape.

It violently tore through the flesh at the end of Yu Mingfei's tailbone, extending into a Bony Long Tail over a meter long.

The balance within Yu Mingfei's body was broken.

Then a new balance formed.

Under the devouring power of the Eight Spider Lances, the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs was rapidly absorbed, while the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well also reached equilibrium within Yu Mingfei's body.

The power of the two Divine Springs, one of extreme cold and the other of blazing heat, gradually formed a small Mutually Generating Vortex within him as it flowed through Yu Mingfei's bloodline.

Yu Mingfei's posture changed, his outstretched limbs curling together.

As though he had returned to the fetal stage.

The aura of ice and fire revolved around his body, activating the mutated bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Within the spring water, an even more ancient power was stirred by Yu Mingfei's restless Dragon Blood.

Deep underground, tens of thousands of meters below...

Two jade-white dragon-shaped skeletons coiled around each other and trembled faintly.

These were the Ice Fire Dragon King Remains that had fallen here in ancient times.

Two of the Nine Great Dragon Kings, they had once been powerful God Kings.

Over the long passage of time, the residual power of their skeletons seeped into the earth, creating the worldly wonder known as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Within the dragon bones, two Remnant Souls were stirred. Following the circulation of the ice and fire aura, they spiraled upward and rushed into Yu Mingfei's body.

Accompanying them were two ancient powers of dragon bloodline, one of ice and one of fire.

A grand and terrifying aura that had lain dormant for hundreds of thousands of years erupted in an instant.

The residual Dragon King Bloodline power of the Ice Fire Dragon King poured in all at once, transforming Yu Mingfei's body with an intensity far beyond that of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the toxic Immortal Herbs.

At last, the familiar drumbeat sounded beside Yu Mingfei's ears.

[Because your Martial Soul's quality was inferior, clever you thought of consuming Immortal Herbs, soaking in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and absorbing the Ice Fire Dragon King Remains to evolve your Martial Soul. Congratulations, you have invented Bloodline Refinement. Your Martial Soul has evolved into the Ice Flame Dragon King, and your Golden Eyes have been ignited.]
