"This..."

Dugu Bo watched Yu Shuangbai walk directly into the icy blue spring water, the pupils within his green eyes trembling violently.

He could not help but turn his head to look at Snow Emperor standing to the side.

"Senior, this..."

As the person who had claimed this place as his own herb garden for so many years, Dugu Bo knew all too well the power of the water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It was a fusion of the power of extreme cold and the power of extreme heat.

Even with his formidable soul power at the Title Douluo level, he dared not remain in the spring water for long.

Let alone stepping into the spring water with his own body.

Dugu Bo was not worried about anything else.

But he was still counting on Yu Shuangbai to detoxify both himself and Dugu Yan.

He absolutely did not want anything to happen to him.

"Xiao Shuangbai has his own sense of measure."

Although a trace of worry still flickered in Snow Emperor's eyes, there was more trust than anything else.

She believed that since Yu Shuangbai had chosen to do this, he must have his own certainty.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo said no more.

After all, since Snow Emperor, his guardian, had said nothing, it would be inappropriate for him, an outsider, to say too much.

Since Snow Emperor was so at ease, it stood to reason that Yu Shuangbai must possess methods beyond his understanding.

Stepping into the icy blue, extremely cold spring water.

A bone-chilling cold was carried over, wrapped within the spring water.

It surrounded Yu Shuangbai, overwhelming and all-encompassing.

The tyrannical aura of extreme cold was enough to instantly freeze an ordinary Soul Emperor in an instant.

Yet, there was no sign of pain on Yu Shuangbai's face.

On the contrary, a hint of comfort even appeared.

This extremely cold environment might be an unbearable extreme for others.

But for Yu Shuangbai, who possessed the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, it was a rare treasure trove.

However, the water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well did not consist solely of the icy spring.

As he descended deeper, the clear demarcation between the waters began to blur.

A scorching aura arrived in its wake.

Feeling the increasingly dangerous high temperature from below, Yu Shuangbai frowned.

Yu Shuangbai, with his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, did not fear the extreme cold brought by the icy spring.

But as for that scorching power, Yu Shuangbai could not remain so composed.

The reason the ice and fire powers of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could achieve such a harmonious and unified integration.

A large part of the reason was that the levels of ice and fire power within were not significantly different.

The Ultimate Ice was opposed by the Ultimate Fire.

For Yu Shuangbai, who was currently only at the Soul Elder cultivation level, to forcibly withstand the Ultimate Fire spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was clearly asking a bit too much.

However, he quickly found a way to cope, his eyes brightening.

"Ice, follow my command."

With a thought, Yu Shuangbai drew the surrounding extreme cold spring water toward himself.

The blue, extremely cold spring water covered Yu Shuangbai's body like silk.

It formed a protective barrier made of the extremely cold spring water.

It was just enough to resist the scorching water that followed.

Successfully protecting Yu Shuangbai from the harm of the scorching spring water.

By channeling a constant stream of the extremely cold spring water to resist the scorching spring water, Yu Shuangbai finally reached the very bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Passing through a white light, Yu Shuangbai arrived in another space.

It was deep within the earth's core beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a vast void forgotten by time.

There was not a speck of dust in the air, for there was no flowing wind here.

A silence that had solidified over millions of years ruled over everything.

Even sound itself seemed to have died long ago.

The four walls of the space were not ordinary rock, but were covered in massive energy crystals, emitting a faint light in the gloom.

Two corpses, vast beyond imagination, occupied the two ends of the cavern.

Yu Shuangbai knew clearly that these two corpses were the purpose of his journey.

Those once-kings of the Dragon Clan.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings!

The remains of the Fire Dragon King lay horizontally upon a dark red rock platform.

It was over a hundred meters long, its limbs splayed, its posture still carrying the tension of the battle at the moment of its fall.

The dragon scales, which should have been crimson gold or fiery red, had completely lost their color, turning into a deathly shade of interlaced charred black and dark gray.

Many scales were curled and shattered, revealing the equally pitch-black bones beneath.

Yet, even though it had been dead for countless millennia, the fire elements within this carcass had not dissipated.

Heat radiated slowly and continuously from every bone and every remnant scale, causing the air for several yards around to warp slightly.

This was precisely the origin of the scorching spring within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

To the right lay the corpse of the Ice Dragon King.

Similar in size to the Fire Dragon King, its entire body was a translucent ice-blue, covered in a layer of natural frost crystals.

However, unlike the battered state of the Fire Dragon King's corpse, the remains of the Ice Dragon King were preserved much more intact.

The patterns on every scale were clearly visible, like an exquisite and masterfully crafted ice sculpture.

It was not, however, without damage.

Upon closer inspection, one could see several broken ribs on its left side, collapsed inward.

There was a piercing wound between its chest and abdomen, the ice crystals at its edges long since shattered.

Extreme cold overflowed continuously from its body, causing the ice layer beneath it to grow thicker and thicker, extending spiderweb-like ice patterns in all directions.

The outflow of this extreme cold formed the blue, frigid spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The two dragon corpses were separated by a distance of about twenty paces.

Yu Shuangbai arrived not far in front of them and came to a halt.

The mysterious calling within his body became increasingly clear.

The excitement of his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul reached its peak at this moment.

Yu Shuangbai instinctively activated his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.

And with this action, the two Ice and Fire Dragon King corpses that had been lying there in silence underwent a change.

As if some switch had been flipped, a glimmer of divine light suddenly flickered in the once-dead and hollow eyes of the two Dragon Kings.

Immediately following, two crisp dragon roars echoed through this empty space.

From the bodies of the two Dragon Kings, two massive dragon souls, one blue and one red, suddenly surged upward.

The ice and fire elements in the space became restless to the extreme.

Yu Shuangbai's face turned slightly pale.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were, after all, once powerhouses at the half-step God King level.

Even after the erosion of time following their fall.

The might they released was still not something a Soul Elder like Yu Shuangbai could compare to.

Yet, he did not retreat even half a step, instead fixing his gaze upon the two massive dragon souls ahead.

Beneath the vastness of the dragon souls, Yu Shuangbai appeared exceptionally small.

But he remained neither servile nor overbearing, placing one hand over his chest and bowing slightly.

"Junior Yu Shuangbai pays his respects to the two seniors."

At the same time.

The two massive dragon souls were also observing Yu Shuangbai.

Seeing that he remained composed despite his pale complexion under their dragon might.

A flicker of praise flashed in the depths of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's souls, though it was concealed in the blink of an eye.

The Ice Dragon King's soul spoke in a crisp, resonant voice, saying solemnly:

"Human, you have rashly intruded upon our burial ground; for what purpose?"
