Feeling the pulse from his heart, each beat came with a scorching energy flowing through his entire body.
The Fire Dragon King's origin power and the power of the Shattered Godhead had instantly brought his control over fire-element energy to the extreme.
A ball of golden flame appeared in his palm. Even at the bottom of the lake, the flame was completely unaffected.
"Ultimate Fire. This energy truly is overbearing."
After his initial ecstasy, Ye Ruilin turned a burning gaze toward the Water Dragon King Remnant Soul beside him.
The Water Dragon King Remnant Soul floated at the bottom of the lake, its entire body radiating a dim blue glow.
Its dragon eyes were cold and profound, as though they could see through everything.
Compared to the Fire Dragon King, the Water Dragon King Remnant Soul seemed to be more cautious.
The instant it sensed the Fire Dragon King's aura vanish, it had tried to flee.
How could Ye Ruilin let it escape so easily?
Even at the bottom of the lake, his figure moved swiftly like a flood dragon.
A wall of flames appeared before the Water Dragon King, blocking its path.
Though it sensed danger, the Water Dragon King was still enraged by Ye Ruilin's provocative action.
The surrounding lake water seemed to freeze rapidly beneath its aura, spreading toward Ye Ruilin from below.
A deep dragon roar rang out.
In an instant, countless ice crystals condensed in the water, turning into sharp Ice Blades that shot toward Ye Ruilin.
It could sense the threat Ye Ruilin posed, so it had no desire to fight and only wanted to escape quickly.
"Good!"
Battle intent surged in Ye Ruilin's eyes. With a flash, he swiftly dodged the Ice Blades.
Even at the bottom of the lake, his movements remained as swift as the wind.
But there were simply too many Ice Blades. No matter how fast he was, several still grazed him.
Though they left only tiny wounds, bone-piercing cold instantly invaded his body.
Ye Ruilin was secretly alarmed.
Even as a mere remnant soul, this Water Dragon King was still so terrifyingly powerful.
If the Fire Dragon King had not rashly charged into his body, he probably would not have subdued him so easily either.
A warm current flowed out from his heart, immediately dispersing the chill within him.
"I've already subdued the Fire Dragon King. Why are you still struggling?"
"Why not surrender now?"
Ye Ruilin shouted lowly. The flames around him instantly condensed into a massive Fire Dragon that lunged at the Water Dragon King.
The Water Dragon King refused to be outdone. A trace of disdain flashed through its dragon eyes as it exhaled a stream of icy breath.
The icy breath collided with the Fire Dragon, instantly erupting with a massive energy shockwave.
Outside.
As they suddenly felt the tremor, everyone stared tensely at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
It had already been the time it took an incense stick to burn since Ye Ruilin had vanished.
None of them knew what exactly was happening inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
A trace of anxiety flashed through Old Wu's eyes.
The Young Master's strength was still too weak. If something really happened...
Countless thoughts flooded Old Wu's mind, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
Dugu Bo's expression also turned solemn as he stared fixedly at the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"A brat is still a brat."
"He wouldn't listen to a word of advice."
"He's only at the level of a Soul Master, yet he dared to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
Though he said so, a trace of concern flickered through his eyes.
"Shut up. The Young Master will definitely be fine."
Old Wu shouted lowly, anger in his eyes.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly and ultimately said nothing more.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were also watching the situation within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
They actually had quite a bit of faith in Ye Ruilin.
Since that kid had dared to go in, it meant he was absolutely confident he could emerge from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
At the bottom of the lake.
Ye Ruilin was blasted several meters back by the previous burst of energy, his face slightly pale.
He had not expected the Water Dragon King Remnant Soul's attack power to be so formidable.
After lowering his gaze in thought for a moment, another Fire Dragon lunged toward the Water Dragon King.
The Water Dragon King neither dodged nor evaded, exhaling another stream of icy breath as it tried to block the attack with the same method.
But this time, a sharp gleam flashed in Ye Ruilin's eyes. His body suddenly leaped up, and he pounced toward the Water Dragon King.
He was incredibly fast, arriving before the Water Dragon King in an instant.
A ball of golden flame in his palm carried an extreme heat as he viciously slammed it down toward the Water Dragon King's head.
This flame contained most of the Fire Dragon King's origin power. Unable to evade in time, the Water Dragon King could only raise its dragon claw to resist.
As the flame collided with the dragon claw, the Water Dragon King immediately let out a pained dragon roar.
The dim blue radiance on its phantom seemed to fade significantly.
Ye Ruilin pressed his advantage. The Primordial Art began circulating within him, forcibly absorbing the energy from the Water Dragon King's body.
Gravely injured and sensing the energy draining from its body, the Water Dragon King struggled desperately. A terrifying icy aura spread out as it tried to break free from Ye Ruilin's control.
How could Ye Ruilin give up so easily? Firelight shielded his body, resisting the Water Dragon King's icy aura.
The Primordial Art suddenly accelerated, and the energy within the Water Dragon King's body drained away even faster.
Until the Water Dragon King's phantom completely vanished from the bottom of the lake.
The remnant soul powers of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King completely fused into Ye Ruilin's body.
The power of the Primordial Art quietly circulated, guiding this energy through his internal organs.
The Water Dragon King's Ultimate Ice energy slowly flowed into his kidneys, while the Fire Dragon King's Ultimate Fire energy gathered in his heart.
Ye Ruilin's body trembled slightly, as though every inch of his flesh was adapting to this brand-new energy.
A crimson radiance gradually lit up around his heart, like a beating flame—scorching and full of life. Every beat was accompanied by the pulse of fire.
At the same time, a faint blue light shone through around his kidneys. Cold energy circulated within him, forming a subtle balance with the activity in his heart.
Feeling the changes in his body, Ye Ruilin was deeply shaken.
The five organs of the human body corresponded to the five elements. Each organ was the best vessel for the power of the five elements: the heart belonged to fire, and the kidneys belonged to water.
And at this moment, his heart and kidneys respectively carried the powers of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice, like two giant dragons coiling within his body, restraining and complementing one another.
"The origin powers of the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King truly are pure."
Ye Ruilin murmured softly, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.
He could clearly feel the power of the godheads merging into his internal organs.
The Primordial Art had also become even more powerful because of it.
Joy appeared on Ye Ruilin's face.
Even if he only controlled ordinary power of the five elements, with the mysteries of the Primordial Art, he was confident he could become the Lord of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
Now, he had already absorbed the powers of the Fire Dragon King's and Water Dragon King's Shattered Godheads.
Though the godheads were shattered, their power origins remained.
As long as he had those power origins, how difficult could it be to condense a brand-new godhead?
At his current stage, it was equivalent to possessing the seeds of two godheads.
Even the gods of Douluo Continent, no matter how powerful, possessed no more than two divine positions and two godheads.
And if he truly gathered all five elements, controlled the power of five godheads, and condensed a godhead that belonged solely to him—the Qilin Godhead!
Just what kind of powerful existence would he become?
