Stirring Deities, Bloodline Refinement, Ever-Burning Golden Eyes!

The power contained within the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings was far too immense. After the bloodline refinement, Yu Mingfei's useless Dragon Clan martial soul underwent an evolution.

The powers of ice and fire completely reshaped his martial soul.

The erosion of the Dragon Kings' power also caused Yu Mingfei's body to mutate.

Under the influence of the Dragon Kings' overwhelming might, the dragon tail formed from the external soul bone—the Eight Spider Lances—gradually became covered in flesh, blood, and scales.

It was no longer the Eight Spider Lances, but an external soul bone—the Dragon Tail.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Yu Mingfei's appearance changed drastically.

A pair of crimson dragon horns grew from his forehead, while a dragon tail covered in white scales and topped with a red mane emerged behind him.

Beneath his tightly shut eyelids, two faint trails of golden flame could be seen burning fiercely.

Dragon horns, dragon tail, golden eyes.

At that moment, he looked every bit like a dragonkin.

After coming into contact with the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remains, World-Shattering Wisdom continued to work.

[Bloodline refined. Martial soul evolved. Through your ingenuity, you used the powerful Dragon Clan bloodline to mutate your soul skills. Congratulations, you have created a Word Spirit. Your first soul skill has advanced to "Word Spirit: Instant."]

[Your second soul skill has advanced to "Word Spirit: Lord Flame."]

[Because the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' bloodline was too powerful, the lingering souls of the Dragon Kings and most of their power have fallen dormant within your bloodline. Through your ingenuity, you used soul rings to share the power released after bloodline refinement. Congratulations, you have created the active skill: Blood Rage. Release the shackles on your bloodline and recreate the power of the Dragon Kings.]

As the power of the Dragon Kings' remains sank deep into his bloodline, Yu Mingfei completed the advancement of his martial soul and soul skills.

His eyes flew open, and two streams of golden light burst from the water's surface, shooting straight into the clouds.

Above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the phantoms of two giant dragons spiraling around one another flashed into existence before vanishing.

An ancient, majestic aura made the void tremble.

It announced the return of the Dragon Kings' power to the world.

At that moment, the god-tier powers above the firmament, within the depths of the sea, and at the heart of the forest were all stirred.

At the center of the Star Dou Great Forest lay the Lake of Life.

By the lake, Di Tian's tall figure tore through space and appeared. Dressed in black and golden-eyed, his face was filled with agitation.

The moment he saw the Sky Azure Bull Python bobbing in the lake, his expression darkened.

With a sweep of his arm, he sent the Sky Azure Bull Python's massive body flying out of the Lake of Life.

"Presumptuous! I ordered you to guard the Lake of Life in the core region, yet you dare foul the sacred lake water with your python body!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python looked horrified. Cracks covered its enormous bull-like head, and as it flew backward, blood sprayed across a large patch of grass.

Beneath the Lake of Life, a spatial fluctuation flickered and disappeared.

A rift opened above the lake.

Within it was a crystal-clear, vertical pupil, deep and unfathomable, its socket ringed with silver scales.

At the sight of that dragon eye, Di Tian grew agitated and bowed respectfully.

"Master?! Your injuries have recovered!"

Awakened ahead of time by a certain aura, the Silver Dragon King was still dazed and confused.

Only after a long while did her stiff mind sort through the situation.

"The Ice Dragon King? The Fire Dragon King? Why do their auras feel so lifeless?"

"Di Tian! Give the order..."

The City of Slaughter.

Deep within Hell Road, a crimson radiance flashed, then vanished in an instant.

Yet the Slaughter King did not sense it in the slightest.

Beyond the Douluo Continent, a terrifying figure swept divine sense inward and immediately saw the Slaughter King in the City of Slaughter, holding a beauty and laughing as he indulged himself.

A trace of disdain and chill accompanied His divine sense.

"I thought the eight trials would be nothing to you. Who would have thought you were also such a useless wretch?"

The Asura God no longer spared him another glance and immediately turned His attention toward the center of Sunset Forest.

"The aura of a Dragon Clan God King? They are merely remains, but they make a rather suitable target."

Sea God Island.

Above the altar dedicated to the Sea God, an azure pillar of light descended from the heavens.

Bo Saixi, Sea God Island's ninety-ninth-ranked High Priest and spokesperson of the Sea God, sensed something in her heart.

She swiftly arrived before the altar and knelt prostrate, her expression devout and solemn.

The seven Sacred Pillar Guardians followed close behind, lowering themselves and kneeling respectfully as well.

"My God above, Bo Saixi awaits the descent of your divine oracle."

Yet the divine sense descending within the azure pillar of light conveyed only a single message, leaving her utterly bewildered.

"Eh? Water!"

Spirit City, located at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Sacred golden light descended from the sky above Douluo Hall.

Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's First Enshrined, flashed into existence before the Angel Statue and bowed respectfully.

"My God above! Urgh..."

Before he could finish speaking, the golden light sent down by the Angel God seemed to sense something and instantly vanished from above Spirit City.

Instead, it appeared above the Heaven Dou Palace and descended directly upon Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

In the grand hall, Xue Qinghe, overseeing state affairs for the first time, wore a stunned expression.

The entire court was shocked.

Upon witnessing such a divine miracle, one minister immediately fell to his knees and shouted loudly.

"A miracle! On His Highness the Crown Prince's very first day overseeing state affairs, an auspicious sign has descended from the heavens! Heaven blesses our Heaven Dou Empire!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is truly worthy of being His Majesty's finest offspring! This is the heavens affirming the accomplishments of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The other ministers, having reacted a step too slowly, quickly followed with loud praise.

Upon the dragon throne, Xue Ye, equally dumbfounded, turned to look at Xue Qinghe.

His gaze settled on the golden pillar of light enveloping Xue Qinghe. Within it, the phantom of a six-winged angel slowly faded away.

Golden feathers drifted around Xue Qinghe's body, while nine golden screens of light slowly merged into him, giving him a sacred air.

Xue Ye looked at his son, and his imperial face instantly broke into delighted joy.

He had once read in the imperial records that gifted individuals on the Douluo Continent could receive the attention of gods and be granted divine trials.

Never had he imagined that his eldest son would encounter such a fortune!

What did that mean? The Heaven Dou Empire was bound to flourish!

He laughed heartily. His frail body seemed to have received a blessing, and he immediately rose from the dragon throne.

"Today, as the Crown Prince oversees state affairs, he has received heaven's protection and divine favor. Let the entire nation celebrate! Grant a general amnesty!"

"Someone, draft the decree—no, Qinghe, my son, you shall do it yourself!"

Xue Qinghe—no, Qian Renxue—felt her heart race as she unsteadily walked to the side of the dragon throne.

Only she knew what she had heard when the golden light descended.

[Angel Nine Trials initiated!]

[First trial: Find the whereabouts of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.]

Also in Spirit City, within the secret chamber of the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong, who had been cultivating with her eyes closed, suddenly revealed a pained expression.

The Rakshasa God's divine sense forcibly invaded her mind.

Countless demonic voices ran wild, conveying the exact same will.

[Find the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Devour them... devour them...]

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo stared toward the center of the spring with a solemn expression.

Just moments ago, two streams of golden light had shot out from beneath the divine spring, while the phantoms of two giant dragons spiraling around one another had flashed across the sky before disappearing.

That ancient, majestic aura had made Dugu Bo's body stiffen.

He could sense that his Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor martial soul was as insignificant as an ant before those two giant dragons.

After the dragon phantoms disappeared, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well seemed to break free from an invisible shackle.

The immortal herbs growing throughout the valley swayed one after another, their long-suppressed spirituality finally able to breathe.

After the golden radiance shot into the clouds, Dugu Yan instinctively rushed toward the spring, only to be stopped in time by Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling.

With Ye Lingling beside her, she could only stand near the wooden house and gaze toward the spring from afar.

At this distance, with the poison pill refined by Dugu Bo protecting her, the effects of the two divine spring auras could be perfectly neutralized.

If she got any closer, the divine spring's aura would destroy her body.

Three days had passed, and with each day, the weight in her heart had grown a little heavier.

The disturbance just now made Dugu Yan look toward the spring water with anticipation in her eyes.

Time passed bit by bit, and just as despair began to rise within her once more—

Bang—

The water's surface exploded, and a figure shot straight into the sky.

He opened his eyes, his golden pupils seeming to burn with flame.
