Ice-Fire Twin Dragon King (1)

Taking one last look at the ropes tied on both sides, Yu Tianshuo took a deep breath.

He gave a fierce tug and, the moment he felt the tension, dove straight toward the bottom of the lake.

As he reached the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he partially transformed his head into that of a dragon, opened his maw, and swallowed both the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot in one gulp.

He then reverted to his normal appearance and sat cross-legged to begin refining the two Immortal Herb.

The toxins were not as potent as he had imagined; the innate poison resistance of his Golden Scale Dragon martial soul was more than enough to withstand them.

Seeing his plan proceeding so smoothly, Yu Tianshuo could not help but accelerate his absorption rate, simultaneously drawing in the water from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Time ticked away, second by second.

A miniature Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well began to take shape within his body, formed by the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

Since absorbing the energy here can form a miniature Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well inside me, could I use this energy to condense my first Soul Core ahead of schedule?

He acted on the thought immediately; the moment the miniature well stabilized within him, Yu Tianshuo began attempting to condense his first Soul Core, utilizing both the energy inside him and the external power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

At this moment, Yu Tianshuo poured his entire focus into the absorption and the condensation of the Soul Core.

He did not notice that the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was using him as a focal point, frantically drawing energy from the surrounding area.

The water level in the lake gradually receded, and the surrounding vegetation began to wither.

It was only when Yu Tianshuo began to absorb the Dragon Might from the bottom of the lake that the speed finally slowed.

However, this action startled the lingering souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King at the lake's bottom.

Awakened, both the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King stared toward the surface of the lake with terrified eyes.

When they saw that it was actually a human absorbing their overflowing energy, their spectral eyes widened in shock.

The two lingering souls began to communicate rapidly in panicked tones.

"Third Brother, what on earth is happening?"

"Why is a mere human capable of absorbing the energy we dissipate?"

One had to understand that even after the deaths of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, the energy near their origins was not something just anyone could absorb.

Even if the so-called Title Douluo of this world were to attempt it, they would suffer broken meridians at best, or explode and die on the spot at worst.

Yet, what were they seeing now?

A mere human soul master was boldly absorbing their energy, and he was completely fine after doing so.

How could they not be shocked and terrified?

However, after gradually calming down, the Ice Dragon King, addressed as Third Brother, considered a possibility.

He voiced his speculation.

"Fourth Brother, is it possible that the one above is not a human at all?"

The Fire Dragon King, called Fourth Brother, was stunned by these words, but upon reflection, he found it highly plausible.

He then added.

"Could it be that he is the reincarnation of our father, returning with his power?"

"But that's not right. I don't feel any aura from him that shares our lineage."

This question left the Ice Dragon King uncertain as well.

Because he, too, could not sense any aura of the same origin.

But just then, an incomparably terrifying Dragon Might radiated from Yu Tianshuo as the center, and a fierce, terrifying golden dragon formed behind him!

"Golden Dragon King!!!???"

The appearance of the golden dragon shadow nearly caused the two Dragon Kings to scatter into nothingness from fright.

Before they could continue their panic, golden dragon scales began to appear on the surface of Yu Tianshuo's body.

His physique gradually transformed into that of a dragon.

Seeing this scene, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King were left completely dumbfounded.

But they were given no time to remain stunned, as Yu Tianshuo's absorption speed began to accelerate once more.

This time, he was not absorbing the dissipated energy from the surroundings, but had set his sights directly on the two dragon corpses at the bottom of the lake.

"Damn it! Third Brother, he's coming for us!"

The Fire Dragon King discovered in horror that his own remains were beginning to drift toward Yu Tianshuo at the surface of the lake.

Before the Ice Dragon King could find a way to resist, his own body began to drift upward as well.

"What the hell!!!"

Yu Tianshuo gave them no chance to escape; the Dragon Might within him suppressed the two Dragon Kings so thoroughly that they dared not resist.

They could only submit as their dragon bodies were absorbed by Yu Tianshuo.

Before the end, the Fire Dragon King looked at the Ice Dragon King and spoke with a tone of grim resignation.

"Third Brother, things have reached this point, so I won't hide it from you anymore. That female dragon you liked the most back then? Her disappearance was my doing."

"I had taken a fancy to her myself at the time, so I spent some time winning her over. Later, fearing you would be angry, I hid her away."

Hearing this, the Ice Dragon King also snapped out of its state of terror, looking at the Fire Dragon King with a bizarre expression before hesitating to speak.

"Huh? I knew about that. Back then, she would still come to my cave from time to time."

Now, it was the Fire Dragon King's turn to be completely dumbfounded.

Once it cleared its head, a burst of rage erupted, but just as it was about to speak, its corpse and remnant soul were sucked into the body of Yu Tianshuo.

In the end, it only left a few words for this world.

"Third Brother, I f..."

Watching this scene, the Ice Dragon King smiled helplessly and finally sighed, saying.

"You are still too naive, my silly little brother."

Having said that, it closed its eyes and calmly faced the fate of being devoured.

After the corpse of the Ice Dragon King was devoured, the dragon body of Yu Tianshuo fell into a deathly silence.

As time passed, Yu Tianshuo gradually absorbed the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King completely.

The surrounding air seemed to be affected by this process, becoming unusually heavy, as if waiting for something important to happen.

One hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Just after two and a half hours, the dragon body in the lake finally showed a hint of change.

The massive dragon body began to tremble slightly, as if gradually waking from a deep slumber.

Then, it slowly stretched out; every movement appeared somewhat stiff, yet carried an indescribable sense of power.

Only when the dragon body was fully extended could one discover that Yu Tianshuo's dragon body had now reached 15 meters in length!

One must know that at this moment, Yu Tianshuo was still just a Soul Grand Master without a second soul ring!

Sunlight filtered through the top of the lake, spilling onto Yu Tianshuo's dragon body and draping him in a layer of golden radiance.

This radiance not only made him look more formidable and majestic, but also added an aura of dignity and inviolability.

His dragon eyes opened slightly, revealing confusion at first, but after a while, his gaze gradually cleared.

Yu Tianshuo's consciousness also returned at this moment, and he began to feel the surging power within his body.

This power was like a torrential flood, galloping and flowing through his meridians, filling every one of his cells with vitality.

Feeling this immense power, Yu Tianshuo was also overcome with wild joy.

Moreover, he was surprised to discover that the abilities he had previously gained from absorbing the Immortal Herb could still be used.

However, before he could test them, a noisy sound echoed in his mind.

He could only vaguely hear the sentence.

"Third Brother! I f*** you..."
