Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' God-Level Spirit Rings! Soul Power Surges to Level 86, Soul Douluo! (Please Read On!)

"Since there's nothing left to worry about, let's begin!"

The Fire Dragon King let out a heaven-shaking roar, and the entire underground space was instantly illuminated by a blazing red light.

"Please accept our final gift, my lord!"

As the words fell, the two enormous dragon skeletons suddenly trembled. Crimson and ice-blue light shot into the sky, turning into two rivers of light that surged madly toward Gu Yuan, standing at the center!

"Honored seniors, wait!"

Just as the two vast dragon souls were about to burn themselves completely and dissipate as pure energy,

Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a thunderous shout rang out in his Sea of Consciousness.

His voice carried the supreme pressure unique to the Golden Dragon King, causing the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, who had already resolved to die, to falter instinctively.

"Don't burn your souls!

Keep your minds clear, and do as I say!"

Gu Yuan spoke at breakneck speed, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He was racing against time.

"I don't need you to sacrifice yourselves completely. I want you to 'live' on in another way!

Gather your minds, fuse your soul origins with this energy, and don't resist the pull of my spiritual power!"

"What is this...?"

A puzzled ripple came from the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul.

"This is the 'Wisdom Spirit Ring' method!"

Gu Yuan's thoughts raced. His immense divine sense instantly transformed into countless golden threads, forcing their way into the raging torrent of red and blue energy and precisely enveloping the two Dragon Kings' soul origins, which were on the verge of disintegrating.

Gu Yuan had been planning this ever since he first crossed into this world.

He had once had a brief "friendly exchange" with the Destiny Ice Silkworm, which the Ferocious Beasts had treated like a living battery, draining it dry.

That encounter had let him verify a special method that preserved a Soul Beast's consciousness, turned it into a Spirit Ring attached to a Soul Master, and even allowed it to assist the Soul Master in battle.

Originally, this had merely been a contingency plan for winning over the Snow Empress of the Extreme North someday. He had never expected to use it first on these two senior members of the Dragon Clan.

"Condense!"

With a low shout from Gu Yuan, the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power surged wildly within him, transforming into a massive golden vortex. It devoured all the energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, along with the souls of the two Dragon Kings!

"Rumble—"

The entire underground space shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

The two enormous dragon skeletons, each a thousand zhang long, had lost their divine essence and the support of their souls. At last, they could no longer hold together and crumbled into a shower of crystalline bone dust, drifting down like a magnificent rain of light.

At the center of that rain of light, Gu Yuan hovered in midair.

Red and blue light wove around him, intertwining before the Golden Dragon King's overbearing power forcibly kneaded them into a gradually stabilizing whole.

Two strange rings slowly appeared beneath his feet.

They weren't ordinary red Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings.

They shimmered with a magnificent rose-gold hue, engraved with intricate, inscrutable Dragon Clan divine patterns. One ring was ice-blue, the other crimson. Separate yet complementing each other, they radiated a heart-stirring, sacred aura.

The Seventh Soul Ring!

And...the Eighth Soul Ring!

Gu Yuan's physical constitution had already been outrageously powerful. With the Golden Dragon King's physique, he was utterly unconstrained by the limits that ordinary people faced when absorbing Spirit Rings.

Now, with the divine power of the two Dragon Kings pouring into him,

Gu Yuan had broken through the bottleneck at Level 70 in one go, advancing more than a dozen levels at once.

His Soul Power surged from Level 62 to Level 86 in a single leap!

He had directly formed two god-level Wisdom Spirit Rings!

"Phew..."

Gu Yuan exhaled a long breath of stale air. It became a white ribbon that lingered in the air, with faint dragon roars echoing within it.

Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His once-black pupils had become mismatched—one gold, one crimson—and his bearing was more imposing than ever.

"I succeeded."

Gu Yuan looked within his spiritual world.

Above the boundless golden sea, the illusory forms of two shrunken giant dragons circled, their faces full of bewilderment.

"I...I'm still alive?"

Looking at his soul form, now countless times smaller but solid beyond belief, the Fire Dragon King was so shocked he could barely close his mouth.

"Not only are we alive, but...it feels as though we've become one with our lord."

Feeling the Golden Dragon King's divine sense, dense to the extreme all around them, the Ice Dragon King was swept by stormy waves of astonishment.

Here, their souls wouldn't fade away. On the contrary, the Golden Dragon King's divine sense would nourish them and gradually repair their damaged origins!

"Honored seniors."

Gu Yuan's voice rang out in the Sea of Consciousness, carrying a hint of a smile.

"This is the Wisdom Spirit Ring method.

You are now the spirits of my Spirit Rings. Though you've temporarily lost your freedom, your lives and minds have been preserved."

"Once I rebuild the Divine Realm and ascend to the highest divine throne, I'll recreate divine bodies for you and bring you back to life."

"Though you may not regain the peak strength you once possessed as God Kings, I, Gu Yuan, give you my word: I'll make sure you're reborn and enjoy eternal life."

Hearing this promise, the two Dragon Kings had no doubts left.

They bowed deeply to Gu Yuan's consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness, their voices trembling but resolute:

"Thank you, my lord, for granting us a new life!

We are willing to brave fire and water for you, and die ten thousand deaths without regret!"

Outside.

With the Spirit Rings in place, the aura surrounding Gu Yuan finally stabilized completely.

Level 86 Soul Douluo!

With a single absorption, Gu Yuan had leaped from a Level 62 Soul Emperor straight to a high-level Soul Douluo at Level 86!

And that was because Gu Yuan had deliberately suppressed his Soul Power growth, using more of the energy to strengthen his body and nourish the souls of the two Dragon Kings.

Otherwise, reaching Level 90 wouldn't have been impossible.

"How do you feel?"

Gu Yuena stepped forward, her beautiful eyes full of concern and delight.

Gu Yuena could clearly sense the Golden Dragon King's ferocity, which had once been somewhat restless within Gu Yuan.

After fusing with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' Ultimate Attributes, it had miraculously reached a delicate balance, becoming even deeper and more restrained.

"Better than ever."

Gu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the strength surging through him like a great river. A confident curve lifted the corners of his mouth.

"The Ice Dragon King became my Seventh Soul Ring, granting me the Ice Dragon King Avatar and control over Ultimate Ice."

"The Fire Dragon King became my Eighth Soul Ring, granting me the Ultimate Fire Attribute. I can already call upon it at will."

"And I can draw on it whenever I want!"

In Gu Yuan's spiritual world, the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had still been excited over their new lives, but it seemed they suddenly remembered something. The Fire Dragon King's rough voice rang urgently through Gu Yuan's Sea of Consciousness:

"My lord! Please wait before you leave! Be sure to absorb the 'Soul Bones' we left behind when we perished here!"

The Ice Dragon King followed right after, its voice steady yet respectful:

"That's right, my lord.

Though our bodies have turned to dust, the Soul Bones condensed from the essence of our bodies are the final crystallization of our power in life.

If they can help you, we will die without regret."
