Remains of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings

"Master!"

Huo Yuhao had just broken into a joyful smile at the success of his Master's divine technique.

The next second, his expression froze on his face, and his Double Pupils, which had just undergone their Silver Grade Second Awakening, contracted violently.

He saw that the moment Gu Yuejin opened his eyes, before he could even utter a single word, his entire body sank like a stone hitting the bottom. Without the slightest struggle, he plummeted straight into the depths of that terrifying red-and-white vortex.

He didn't even leave a bubble behind.

"Is Master... suffering from a cultivation deviation?!"

Huo Yuhao was horrified, his instincts driving him to jump in to save him.

"Stop, stop, stop! Little Yuhao, calm down! That is the convergence point of the Extreme Heat Yang Spring and the Extreme Cold Ice Spring. If you go down there, you'll be gone in an instant!"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly called out to him, its plump body twisting in anxiety.

"What kind of person is your Master? How could he possibly drown?"

"But..." Huo Yuhao remained uneasy.

"There are no 'buts'."

The Ice Empress let out a cold snort, her tone carrying a hint of "blind confidence" in Gu Yuejin, as well as a trace of instinctive apprehension:

"That guy is as cunning as a ghost; he never does anything he isn't sure of. Since he dared to go down there, he must have a grand scheme."

"Besides... do you all feel it?"

The Snow Empress, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, her cold, clear voice carrying a rare note of gravity.

"Deep within this spring, there is an aura that even makes my heart palpitate."

"He... is likely aiming for that."

Listening to the analysis of the Spiritual Trio, Huo Yuhao finally forced himself to calm down and pulled back his outstretched foot.

He stood on the shore, watching the churning spring water, his fists clenched tight.

"Master is challenging an even greater existence, while I... do I not even have the qualifications to watch?"

Become stronger!

I must become stronger!

At the same time, deep beneath the spring water.

Gu Yuejin was diving rapidly, bracing against a massive pressure capable of crushing steel.

Just as the Snow Empress had said, his goal was clear: the true source of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, the resting place where the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King had fallen.

No sooner had he dived a hundred meters than a desolate, ancient, and supremely domineering pressure rushed toward him.

It was Dragon Might.

Pure, top-tier Dragon Might originating from the ancient Dragon Clan, carrying the lingering radiance of the god level.

"Crack, crack..."

Gu Yuejin's bones emitted faint popping sounds under this pressure.

If it were before, even as a Seven-Ring Soul Saint, he would have had to weigh his options when facing pressure of this magnitude; he might even have had his blood vessels burst outright.

But at this moment.

"Come on then!"

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Yuejin's eyes, and a curve of enjoyment even tugged at the corners of his mouth.

He had just swallowed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Narcissus Jade Bone, and the Earth Dragon Golden Melon in one go. The terrifyingly vast medicinal power was still accumulated within his body, not yet fully dissolved, and it was making him feel uncomfortably bloated.

This mountain-like, heavy Dragon Might was, at this moment, the perfect forging hammer.

Every squeeze hammered that violent medicinal power deep into his bone marrow and fused it into his flesh and blood, making his "Golden Body" increasingly refined.

"No wonder those plants up there could cultivate for a hundred thousand years. Being nourished by this god-level Dragon Might every day, even a pig could become a spirit."

He continued to dive.

Three hundred meters, five hundred meters...

The surrounding pressure increased geometrically.

The sensation was like walking in the deep sea while carrying two massive mountains on his back. Every inch of his skin was wailing, and every muscle was trembling.

If it were an ordinary Titled Douluo, they would likely have been crushed into a meat patty by now.

"Interesting, but still not enough."

BOOM—!

Brilliant golden light erupted from every one of his pores.

Body Martial Soul, full release!

This time, it was no longer a simple manifestation of soul power, but the manifestation of his "Golden Body" after being reshaped by the five great immortal herbs. His entire person looked like a statue cast from gold.

The previously dim waters were instantly dyed a brilliant golden hue.

The violent Ice and Fire Spring water, the moment it touched this golden light, churned as if it were boiling water before being forcibly pushed aside!

Golden light shielding the body, immune to all laws.

Gu Yuejin was like an unstoppable golden meteor, tearing through the darkness and plummeting straight into the abyss.

Finally.

After diving for an unknown amount of time, his feet suddenly met empty space.

He had passed through the final barrier and arrived in a vast, dim underground space.

The space here was astonishingly large, as if it were a small world independent of the outside.

And when Gu Yuejin saw the scene before him, even though he had been mentally prepared, his pupils still contracted slightly.

The visual impact was simply too strong.

Those were two skeletons.

One was entirely ice-white, crystalline like jade, radiating a chill that could freeze time and space;

The other was crimson as fire, as if carved from rubies, burning with eternal flames.

They were coiled together, head to tail, forming a massive Taiji pattern.

They were too large.

A rough estimate suggested that each dragon skeleton exceeded a thousand meters in length!

Even with only the skeletons remaining, the terrifying aura rushing toward him still made it difficult to breathe and caused his soul to tremble.

"These are the First Generation Dragon Kings... the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King."

Gu Yuejin hovered before the two giant dragons, looking like an insignificant speck of dust.

Compared to these two behemoths, even the Bright Sacred Dragon of the current strongest Spirit Master, Mu En, was nothing more than this.

These were the true masters of the Dragon Clan, the right and left arms of the Dragon God; beneath the God level, all are ants.

At the heads of the two dragon skeletons.

Suspended separately were two balls of light the size of human heads.

One was crimson, dancing with violent flames; the other was ice-white, radiating eternal freezing air.

They churned ceaselessly, like two torches that would never be extinguished, burning for countless years in this dim underground.

That terrifying Dragon Might originated precisely from this.

As Gu Yuejin took each step closer, the golden light on his body fluctuated violently.

If he hadn't consumed the "Immortal Herb Family Bucket" earlier, pushing his physical body to a monstrous level, he would have been torn to shreds by this residual Dragon Might by now.

"These two must only have a sliver of remnant consciousness left."

Gu Yuejin narrowed his eyes, watching the two clusters of light. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

As long as he could overcome or pass the trial of this final remnant consciousness, he would be able to obtain the legacy of these two Dragon Kings.

That Dragon Soul was enough to allow anyone to ascend to the heavens in a single step.

"Hehehe—"

Gu Yuejin couldn't help but let out a signature villainous laugh.

"I never expected that I, an Outerworld Sky Demon, would be able to have such a feast today."

"This is a God-rank Dragon Soul; it's a massive tonic!"

However, the next second, he seemed to realize something and quickly coughed twice, cutting off the villainous laughter in his heart.

His expression turned solemn, instantly switching into "Righteous Aura" mode.

"Ahem..."

"I, Gu Yuejin, am a righteous True Body Soul Master. How could I ever stoop to such demonic acts as taking advantage of others' vulnerability to devour their souls?"

He bowed slightly toward the two dragon skeletons, his face filled with compassion.

"You two seniors have been exposed to the wilderness for so many years; you must be very lonely and cold."

"Though I am untalented, I have come specifically to send you two... to be laid to rest."

"And while I'm at it, I'll inherit your final wishes."

Having finished his mental preparation, Gu Yuejin no longer hesitated.

His figure flashed as he charged directly toward the two Dragon Soul Origins. He spread his large hand, intending to touch the two divine flames.

Just as his fingertips were about to make contact with the light, BOOM—!

The two clusters of light, which had been burning quietly, suddenly surged, transforming into the phantoms of two massive dragon heads.

Two ancient yet majestic roars, carrying boundless divine might, exploded simultaneously in the depths of Gu Yuejin's soul.

"Audacious human!"

"How dare you desecrate the bodies of the Dragon Kings! You seek death!"
