Having said that, Qian Ye turned his head toward Qian Renxue.

"You've made some progress in your cultivation here. Use him to test your sword."

"Yes, Master."

Qian Renxue bowed and accepted his command, then turned to face Tang San.

At that moment, Tang San's fury erupted!

They were ignoring him!

The dignified Sea God had been utterly ignored by these two from beginning to end!

"You're asking for death!"

Blue-gold Sea God's Power erupted like a volcano, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire area!

Qian Renxue didn't dodge or retreat. A soaring sword intent suddenly rose from her!

That sword intent was pure and sharp, imbued with an aura of holiness and judgment. It forcibly tore a hole through Tang San's divine might!

Tang San's pupils contracted.

This woman's aura was completely different from before!

But he remained confident. With a cold snort, he swung the Sea God Trident, intent on crushing Qian Renxue completely.

In the courtyard, Qian Ye watched the scene calmly.

He could tell that Qian Renxue had only just begun to grasp the sword's intent, but it was enough to deal with the agitated Tang San as he was now.

He stopped paying attention to the battle and strode straight toward the heart of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' remnants resided.

Dugu Bo stared at Qian Ye's leisurely stride and was completely dumbfounded.

That... that place...

The dragon kings' pressure in the core area was so immense that even he, a Titled Douluo, couldn't get anywhere near it!

Who exactly was this young man? What was he going to do?

How could he... how could he walk in there so casually?

Qian Ye paid no heed to the shock of those around him.

Step by step, he walked to the edge of the spring. The violent water and fire energies automatically parted before him, opening a path.

He gazed into the depths of the spring, where two dragon souls, entwined together, clung to their last traces of life.

"Long time no see."

Qian Ye's voice carried a trace of ancient weariness.

He could feel that after ten thousand years, the consciousness of these two dragon kings had all but vanished. Only the most primal power of their dragon souls remained.

"Are you willing to submit?"

His voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to contain the laws of heaven and earth, making whatever he said come to pass. It sank straight into the depths of the two dragon souls.

Hum—

The two dragon souls, dormant for ten thousand years, suddenly shuddered!

At the call of that voice, a wisp of nearly extinguished awareness miraculously awakened for a fleeting moment.

They "looked" toward Qian Ye on the shore.

In that instant, fear and reverence welling from their bloodline and the very depths of their souls overwhelmed them.

That feeling...

It was countless times stronger than what they had felt when facing the Dragon God of old!

This was absolute suppression at the level of life itself!

Without the slightest hesitation, the remnants of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings—the once-mighty rulers of the dragon race—slowly lowered their proud heads toward Qian Ye.

At the edge of the spring, Qian Ye watched the two bowed dragon souls with a calm expression, saying nothing.

He merely raised his hand and gently clenched it toward the air.

Rumble!

The entire Ice and Fire Sacred Land shuddered violently.

This newly transformed paradise, shaped by the power of the Heavenly Dao, had its source energy forcibly drawn out by an invisible force.

Life essence so dense it had turned tangible, along with the purest water and fire source energy—

The energies formed into two enormous dragons, roaring as they shot into the sky, then poured madly into the ghostly remnants of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings!

"Roar—!"

"Grrr—!"

The two dragon souls let out roars that shook the heavens. No longer weak, their voices brimmed with new life and joy.

Their nearly transparent soul forms began to grow solid and strong at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Scales, horns, sinews, bones, flesh...

Under the infusion of that boundless energy, they emerged from nothing, rebuilding the dragons' bodies!

At the same time, the frozen image on the Heavenly Vault Golden List changed once more, in an earth-shaking transformation.

Golden light flickered, and a brand-new moving image appeared before every living being on the continent.

The scene showed the heart of Sunset Forest.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was transforming amid golden light. The valley expanded, spiritual energy turned to mist, and Immortal Herbs sprang from the ground until the entire valley became a sacred domain.

Suddenly, two enormous dragon phantoms blotted out the sky as they soared upward, roaring and shaking the nine heavens!

A water dragon and a fire dragon coiled above the sacred land. Their terrifying dragon might made countless Soul Masters and Soul Beasts shudder, even through the Golden List's image.

Then, on the screen, a figure strolled into the core area, a place even Titled Douluo couldn't approach.

He walked to the edge of the spring and calmly spoke a few words.

Then the two dragon souls, whose might overshadowed the world, slowly lowered their proud heads toward that figure and submitted!

The entire continent fell into deathly silence at the sight.

The next moment, the comments beneath the Golden List exploded.

[Wh-who is that?! Who would dare to enter a place like that?!]

[Wait! Am I seeing things? The Water and Fire Dragon Kings... submitted?! They submitted to that person?!]

[Who is he?! Could he be a god? No! Even a god couldn't make such proud dragon souls submit willingly!]

[Incredible! Just who is this person?!]

On the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Sacred Land.

The battle between Qian Renxue and Tang San had reached its fiercest point.

Or rather, Qian Renxue was dominating him single-handedly.

She wielded the Angel Holy Sword, and every slash carried a pure, overbearing sword intent.

It was holy and bright, yet razor-sharp, as though it could judge every evil in the world and sever every thread of karma.

Tang San wielded the Sea God Trident and unleashed his divine power, yet he was fighting a frustrating battle.

Her sword intent seemed to strike from every direction, always finding the weakest point in the flow of his divine power. He had no choice but to defend, hemmed in at every turn.

"How is this possible?"

Tang San's thoughts churned like a stormy sea.

Once, Qian Renxue had been nothing more than a vase in his eyes, possessing divine power but lacking the skill to use it.

But now, her combat skill and understanding of power were far beyond his own!

It was as if an adult were instructing a child.

His former nemesis now seemed so... ordinary?

Just then, Qian Renxue forced Tang San back with a sword strike and glanced up at the image in the sky.

One look was all it took to send waves crashing through her normally tranquil heart.

In the image, her Master stood by the spring.

With a lift of his hand, he had drawn on the source energy of the entire sacred land to rebuild the two dragon souls' bodies!

That was true resurrection!

Creating something from nothing, reversing life and death!

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted. She was utterly shaken.

Such a feat... even a true god couldn't possibly accomplish it!

Just what kind of being was her Master?
