Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Divine-Grade Soul Ring! Soul Power Surges, Level 86 Soul Douluo! (Seeking Follow-up Reads!)

"Since there are no worries left behind, let us begin!"

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

"Please, my lord, accept our final gift!"

As the words fell, the two colossal dragon skeletons suddenly shuddered. Crimson and ice-blue rays of light surged into the sky, transforming into two rivers of light that rushed frantically toward Gu Yuan, who stood at the center!

"Two seniors, wait!"

Just as those two vast dragon souls were about to burn themselves out completely and dissipate into pure energy.

Gu Yuan slammed his eyes open, and a thunderous shout exploded within his sea of consciousness.

This voice was laced with the unique, supreme pressure of the Golden Dragon King, causing the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings—who had already resigned themselves to death—to instinctively falter.

"Do not burn your souls!

Keep your minds clear and do as I say!"

Gu Yuan spoke with extreme speed, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead; he was racing against time.

"I do not need you to sacrifice yourselves completely; I want you to 'live' on in another way!

Steady your minds, merge your soul origins with this energy, and do not resist the guidance of my spiritual power!"

"This is...?"

The remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King emitted a wave of confusion.

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

Gu Yuan's thoughts raced, and his vast divine consciousness instantly transformed into countless golden threads, forcibly probing into the violent torrent of red and blue energy to precisely envelop the soul origins of the two Dragon Kings, which were on the verge of collapse.

Ever since he first transmigrated, Gu Yuan had been planning for this.

He had once had a brief, "friendly exchange" with that Destiny Ice Silkworm, which the fierce beasts kept as a living battery to drain for power.

He had verified this special technique, which preserves a spirit beast's consciousness, allows it to manifest as a spirit ring attached to a spirit master, and even assists the spirit master in battle.

Originally, this was a contingency plan prepared for the day he would subdue the Snow Empress of the Extreme North, but he had not expected to use it on these two dragon predecessors first.

"Condense!"

Following Gu Yuan's low shout, the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power within him surged wildly, forming a massive golden vortex that swallowed 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 the earth dragon were turning over.

Those two thousand-foot-long dragon skeletons, having lost their divine essence and soul support, finally collapsed under the strain, turning into crystalline bone dust that drifted down like a grand, luminous rain.

In the center of this light, Gu Yuan stood suspended in mid-air.

Red and blue lights intertwined and wrapped around his body, finally stabilizing under the forceful manipulation of the Golden Dragon King's domineering power.

Two strange rings slowly emerged beneath his feet.

They were not ordinary hundred-thousand-year red spirit rings.

Instead, they shimmered with a magnificent rose-gold hue, engraved with complex and obscure divine dragon runes. One was ice-blue, the other crimson; they were independent yet complementary, radiating a heart-stopping, sacred aura.

The seventh spirit ring!

And... the eighth spirit ring!

Gu Yuan's physical constitution was already outrageously powerful, and possessing the physique of the Golden Dragon King, he was not restricted by the limitations that ordinary people faced when absorbing spirit rings.

At this moment, aided by the infusion of divine power from the two Dragon Kings.

Gu Yuan had broken through the bottleneck of level 70 in one go, leaping over a dozen levels in succession.

In a single breath, his spirit power skyrocketed from level 62 to level 86!

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

"Hoo..."

Gu Yuan exhaled a long, turbid breath. The air turned into a white streak that lingered in the sky for a long time, within which the faint sound of dragon roars could be heard.

Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His originally pitch-black pupils had transformed into heterochromatic eyes—one gold and one red—possessing even greater majesty than before.

"It worked."

Gu Yuan looked inward at his spiritual world.

He saw that above the vast, boundless golden ocean, two miniature dragon phantoms were circling in a daze.

"I... I am still alive?"

The Fire Dragon King looked at its soul body, which had shrunk countless times but was now incredibly solid, its jaw dropping in shock.

"Not only alive, but it feels... as if we have merged with the Master."

The Ice Dragon King felt the incredibly dense divine consciousness of the Golden Dragon King surrounding it, and a stormy sea surged in its heart.

Here, their souls would not only avoid dissipation, but under the nourishment of the Golden Dragon King's consciousness, they would gradually repair their damaged origins!

"Two seniors."

Gu Yuan's voice resonated within the spiritual sea, carrying a hint of a smile.

"This is the Wisdom Spirit Ring."

"You are now the spirits of my spirit rings. Although you have temporarily lost your freedom, you have preserved your lives and consciousness."

"When I rebuild the God Realm in the future and ascend to the supreme throne, I will reshape your divine bodies and resurrect you."

"While you may not be able to return to the peak combat power of your former God King status, I, Gu Yuan, keep my word: I will grant you a new life and eternal existence."

Hearing this promise, the two Dragon Kings no longer held a shred of doubt.

Within the spiritual sea, they bowed deeply toward Gu Yuan's consciousness, their voices trembling yet resolute:

"Many thanks to our Lord for this grace of rebirth!"

"We are willing to go through fire and water for our Lord, and would not refuse even a thousand deaths!"

Outside.

As the spirit rings settled into place, the aura around Gu Yuan finally stabilized completely.

Level 86 Spirit Douluo!

A single absorption had allowed Gu Yuan to leap from a level 62 Spirit Emperor to a high-level level 86 Spirit Douluo!

Moreover, this was only because Gu Yuan had deliberately suppressed his spirit power growth, using the excess energy to strengthen his physique and nourish the souls of the two Dragon Kings.

Otherwise, surging directly to level 90 would not have been impossible.

"How do you feel?"

Gu Yuena stepped forward, her beautiful eyes filled with concern and joy.

Gu Yuena could clearly sense that the Golden Dragon King's baleful aura, which had previously been somewhat restless within Gu Yuan, had miraculously reached a subtle balance after merging with the extreme attributes of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, becoming deeper and more restrained.

"Better than ever."

Gu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the power surging like a river within him, and a confident arc tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"The Ice Dragon King has become my seventh spirit ring, granting me the 'Ice Dragon King Avatar' and control over the extreme ice attribute."

"The Fire Dragon King has become my eighth spirit ring, granting me the extreme fire attribute, which I can now summon at will."

"Furthermore, I can mobilize it at any time!"

Within Gu Yuan's spiritual world, the remnants of the two Dragon Kings, who were still excited about their rebirth, seemed to suddenly recall something. The Fire Dragon King's rough voice echoed through his consciousness with a hint of urgency:

"My Lord! Wait before leaving! Please ensure you remember to absorb the 'spirit bones' we left behind when we fell here!"

The Ice Dragon King followed suit, its voice steady yet filled with reverence:

"That is correct, my Lord."

"Although our physical bodies have turned to dust, the spirit bones condensed from the essence of our forms are the final crystallization of our power during our lifetimes. If they can assist our Lord, we shall have no regrets in death."
