Dragon Phoenix Wings, Spiritual Power Surge

In the small world beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the remnant souls of the Ice Fire Dragon King sensed the dark power blocking the Twin Dragon Marks at the same moment.

That power was vast and profound!

Its fundamental nature far surpassed the aura of any God King they had encountered before their fall.

Even the Dragon God and the Phoenix Ancestor, those two supreme peak God Kings, were inferior in terms of the nature of their power. It made the soul flames that had endured within the two Dragon Kings for hundreds of thousands of years tremble faintly.

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were certain that the origin contained within that power was by no means comparable to the gods of the current God Realm who had usurped their positions.

A moment later.

The two remnant souls let out low sighs at the same time. Rather than feeling wary, they were filled with intense delight.

"Just who is that being...?"

"This child's fortune far exceeds our imagination! With such a powerful being protecting him, there is great hope for the revival of the Divine Beast clan!"

Above ground, Ye Chen stared at the Twin Dragon Marks floating unsteadily before him, where ice and fire intertwined. A sharp light flickered in his eyes.

He had long made his plans. The Soul Bones of the Ice Fire Dragon King were his for the taking.

Now that the two Dragon Kings had voluntarily bestowed their origins upon him, it saved him a great deal of trouble.

Ye Chen hesitated no longer. "I accept."

Zhou Lan's expression did not change. In an instant, he withdrew the dark barrier.

The next moment, the Ice Fire Twin Dragon Mark seemed like a thirsty creature finally meeting sweet rain. It turned into a streak of light and shot directly into Ye Chen's brow, surging into his limbs, bones, and Martial Soul origin!

Extreme cold and blazing flames descended at once, perfectly merging with the Ice Fire Alchemy Body he had already cultivated, without the slightest conflict.

The Dragon King origin flowed through his bloodline and intertwined with the Phoenix origin of the Wind Phoenix Son.

One phoenix and two dragons formed a perfect balance within his body.

"Screech!"

"Roar!"

Ye Chen's aura surged wildly. A phoenix cry and dragon roar rang through heaven and earth at the same time. Two dragon patterns, one ice-blue and one crimson, silently emerged upon his azure Azure Flame Phoenix Wings, sacred and domineering.

Qing Luan Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, and the others beside him had long since begun trembling uncontrollably.

Their strength was formidable, but there was still an insurmountable gulf between them and godhood!

Even Qing Luan Douluo and the others could not sense the marks of the Ice Fire Dragon King.

To them, Ye Chen's aura had simply surged without warning, and the pressure of his bloodline had grown ever more terrifying. They had no idea why.

"My heavens!"

"This aura... it's utterly terrifying!"

"My Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor is already a top-tier Martial Soul. How can it be suppressed so completely?"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Zhou Lan looked at the newly born power of shared dragon-phoenix origin within Ye Chen's body, nodded slightly, and then fell silent once more.

"A body housing both dragon and phoenix, with laws intertwining... not bad."

Far below, the remnant souls of the Ice Fire Dragon King sensed that their origins had been accepted and felt as though a great burden had been lifted.

"We shall await the day of our awakening..."

"Gods, prepare yourselves to receive the wrath of the Dragon Phoenix God Clan, accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years!"

As their voices faded, the two remnant souls returned completely to silence. Only their enormous Bones remained, lying quietly in wait for the day they would be awakened.

Ye Chen stood still with his eyes tightly closed.

His physical body was further tempered by the dragon origin atop the foundation of his Ice Fire Alchemy Body.

His Bones were the first to change.

They became lustrous and white as jade. Every bone trembled, releasing low dragon roars as their structure grew denser and heavier.

His External Soul Bone evolved into Dragon Phoenix Wings!

I'll still call my Martial Soul Azure Luan to outsiders...

Ye Chen's Martial Soul had evolved through ancestral regression from Azure Luan into the Wind Phoenix Son.

However, the Wind Phoenix Son was originally the ancestor of the Azure Luan lineage. Their appearances were not all that different, save that the former was more sacred and imposing.

I'll still call my Martial Soul Azure Luan to outsiders...

Besides that,

Ye Chen could feel that most of the Dragon King origin had been sealed deep within his body, transforming into two faintly visible dragon-shaped marks.

As for the small portion of origin that had fused into his physical body...

Ye Chen opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and gently clenched his fist.

"Boom—"

The power of his physical body alone caused the surrounding temperature to change abruptly and the air to distort.

Seeing Ye Chen open his eyes, Qing Luan Douluo asked with concern,

"Little Chen, how do you feel?"

Ye Chen turned to Qing Luan Douluo. "Grandfather, my Azure Luan Martial Soul has completed its evolution. Next, it's time to absorb the Starfall Soul Ganoderma."

"Mm."

Qing Luan Douluo nodded.

Ye Chen's gaze passed Qing Luan Douluo and fell upon Qian Renxue in the distance.

The aura Ye Chen had released earlier had been far too powerful. Worried that it might affect Qian Renxue, Qing Luan Douluo had set up a barrier around her.

Within the barrier, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged, surrounded by golden flames.

The power of the Great Sun Golden Flame Lotus flowed continuously into her body. The Six-winged Angel Martial Soul spread behind her, and its once pure-white wings of light were gradually being stained by golden fire.

Flames danced along the edges of the wings, where fine golden patterns could faintly be seen spreading.

Ultimate light, ultimate fire!

Both the light and fire attributes of the Six-winged Angel were transforming toward their ultimate forms.

Her breathtakingly beautiful face was illuminated by the flames, making her appear holy and solemn. The spot between her brows grew increasingly radiant, and golden fire flickered faintly within it.

Every breath she took caused the golden flames around her to pulse and rise and fall.

Ye Chen watched quietly for a moment, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

Then he withdrew his gaze and sat cross-legged atop a flat rock.

With a grasp of his right hand,

the Starfall Soul Ganoderma appeared in his palm.

This Immortal Herb, dark blue throughout and dotted with starlight, dimmed the surrounding light slightly, as though it had absorbed every trace of starlight.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen placed the ganoderma directly into his mouth.

The instant its medicinal power entered his body, the world before his eyes changed abruptly!

A vast starry sky unfolded within his Sea of Consciousness, with countless stars revolving and flowing.

His consciousness was drawn into the depths of that starry expanse, where he sensed an ancient, profound power calling to him—

the power of the moon.

Ye Chen calmed his mind and took the initiative to release his Second Martial Soul.

"Buzz—"

Moon Devil!

A dark-blue phantom emerged behind him. It was a tall, slender figure with indistinct features.

The instant the Moon Devil appeared, the medicinal power of the Starfall Soul Ganoderma surged madly into its body.

The dark-blue phantom became increasingly solid. Within its once-empty eye sockets, two points of dark silver light appeared, like cold stars in the night sky.

Ye Chen's Sea of Consciousness churned violently!

His soul power rose at a visible rate. His once tranquil Sea of Consciousness now stirred up towering waves, and every crashing surge expanded it a little further.

He could sense that his Spiritual Power was breaking through its limits and advancing toward a higher level.

At the same time,

Ye Chen's control over Gravity was also improving.

The Moon Devil was originally the master of the Gravity Law. Now, nourished by the Starfall Soul Ganoderma, it was like drought-stricken land meeting sweet rain.

Ye Chen could clearly sense the Gravity acting upon everything around him.

And he could reverse it all—

With a thought,

the ground beneath Ye Chen trembled lightly before slowly rising from the earth!

Ye Chen floated three zhang above the ground. He no longer needed to deliberately activate Gravity; it had become an instinct of his body, as natural as breathing.

His control over Gravity had become even more effortless.

Time slowly passed.

"Success!"

Ye Chen and Qian Renxue opened their eyes almost simultaneously. Two auras shot into the heavens—one as deep as an abyss, the other blazing and sacred.
