He felt the rhythmic thumping at his heart, each beat accompanied by a surge of scorching energy circulating throughout his entire body.
The origin power of the Fire Dragon King and the strength of the Shattered Godhead allowed his control over fire-attribute energy to reach its absolute peak in an instant.
A cluster of golden flames appeared in his palm; even at the bottom of the lake, this flame remained completely unaffected.
"Ultimate Fire—this energy is truly overbearing."
After the initial surge of ecstasy, Ye Ruilin looked toward the remnant soul of the Water Dragon King nearby with a burning gaze.
The remnant soul of the Water Dragon King hovered at the bottom of the lake, its entire body radiating a deep blue light.
Its dragon eyes were cold and profound, as if they could see through everything.
Compared to the Fire Dragon King, the personality of the Water Dragon King's remnant soul seemed far more cautious.
The moment it sensed the Fire Dragon King's aura vanish, it attempted to flee the area.
Ye Ruilin would not let it escape so easily.
Even at the bottom of the lake, his figure moved like a dragon, sliding forward with great speed.
A barrier of flames appeared before the Water Dragon King, blocking its path.
Even while sensing the danger, the Water Dragon King was still provoked by Ye Ruilin's defiant actions.
The surrounding lake water seemed to freeze rapidly under its aura, spreading toward where Ye Ruilin stood.
A low dragon roar echoed out.
In an instant, countless ice crystals condensed in the water, transforming into sharp ice blades that shot toward Ye Ruilin.
It could sense the threat Ye Ruilin posed, so it had no desire to linger in battle, wishing only to escape quickly.
"Well come!"
Fighting spirit surged in Ye Ruilin's eyes; his figure flashed, swiftly dodging the ice blades' assault.
Even at the bottom of the lake, his movements remained as swift as the wind.
However, the number of ice blades was simply too great, and despite his speed, he was still grazed by several of them.
From even the smallest wound, a bone-chilling cold instantly surged into his body.
Ye Ruilin was secretly startled.
This Water Dragon King, even as a mere remnant soul, possessed such terrifying strength.
If the Fire Dragon King hadn't rashly charged into his body, he likely wouldn't have been able to subdue it so easily.
A wave of heat radiated from his heart, immediately dispelling the cold that had entered his body.
"I have already subdued the Fire Dragon King, so why are you still struggling here?"
"Surrender at once."
Ye Ruilin let out a low shout, and the flames around him instantly condensed into a massive fire dragon, pouncing toward the Water Dragon King.
The Water Dragon King did not show weakness; a trace of disdain flashed in its dragon eyes as it exhaled a breath of frost.
The frost breath collided with the fire dragon, instantly erupting in a massive surge of energy.
Outside.
Suddenly sensing a tremor, everyone stared at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with nervous expressions.
A full incense stick of time had passed since Ye Ruilin's figure disappeared.
None of them knew what exactly was happening inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Old Wu's eyes.
The Young Master's strength was ultimately too weak; if an accident were to truly occur...
Countless thoughts flooded his mind, and Old Wu's expression grew increasingly grim.
Dugu Bo's expression also turned serious, his gaze fixed tightly on the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"A greenhorn is just a greenhorn."
"Refusing to listen to a word of advice."
"He's only at the Spirit Master level, yet he dares to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
Though he spoke these words, a hint of worry flickered in his eyes.
"Shut your mouth; the Young Master will certainly be fine."
Old Wu snapped, his eyes filled with a trace of anger.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, ultimately choosing to say nothing more.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were also monitoring the situation within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
In truth, they had quite a bit of faith in Ye Ruilin.
Since the boy dared to go in, it meant he absolutely had the confidence to emerge from this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
At the bottom of the lake.
Ye Ruilin's figure was forced back several meters by the previous surge of energy, his face turning slightly pale.
He had not expected the attack power of the Water Dragon King's remnant soul to be this formidable.
Lowering his eyes to ponder for a moment, he sent another fire dragon lunging toward the Water Dragon King.
The Water Dragon King did not dodge or evade, once again exhaling a breath of ice, attempting to counter the attack with the same method as before.
But this time, a flash of brilliance ignited in Ye Ruilin's eyes; he leaped up abruptly and charged toward the Water Dragon King.
His speed was blinding, and in an instant, he arrived right before the Water Dragon King.
Within his palm, a ball of golden flame carrying extreme heat slammed fiercely down toward the top of the Water Dragon King's head.
This ball of flame contained the majority of the Fire Dragon King's origin power, and the Water Dragon King, unable to dodge in time, 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 deep blue light on its phantom form seemed to dim significantly.
Seizing the momentum, Ye Ruilin pushed forward, directly circulating the Primordial Art within his body to forcibly absorb the energy from the Water Dragon King.
Having suffered heavy damage and feeling its energy draining away, the Water Dragon King struggled violently, a terrifying icy aura spreading out in an attempt to break free from Ye Ruilin's control.
How could Ye Ruilin give up so easily? A shroud of fire protected his body, resisting the Water Dragon King's icy aura.
The Primordial Art surged, and the energy loss within the Water Dragon King accelerated rapidly.
Until the Water Dragon King's phantom vanished completely from the bottom of the lake.
The remnant soul powers of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King were completely integrated into Ye Ruilin's body.
The Primordial Art quietly circulated, guiding these energies into his internal organs.
The extreme ice energy of the Water Dragon King flowed slowly into his kidneys, while the extreme fire energy of the Fire Dragon King gathered in his heart.
Ye Ruilin's body trembled slightly, as if every inch of his flesh and blood were adapting to this brand-new energy.
At his heart, a crimson light slowly ignited, like a leaping flame, scorching and full of vitality; every beat was accompanied by the pulse of fire.
At the same time, a blue light faintly emanated from his kidneys, the cold energy twisting within his body, forming a delicate balance with the activity at his heart.
Feeling the changes in his body, Ye Ruilin was struck with shock.
The five internal organs of the human body correspond to the power of the five elements, and each organ is the perfect vessel for that power; the heart belongs to fire, and the kidneys belong to water.
At this moment, his heart and kidneys were respectively bearing the powers of extreme fire and extreme ice, as if two giant dragons were coiling within his body, checking and complementing each other.
"The origin powers of the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King are truly pure."
Ye Ruilin murmured softly, his voice carrying a hint of undisguised excitement.
He could clearly feel the power of the Shattered Godhead merging into his internal organs.
The power of the Primordial Art had also become even stronger as a result.
A look of joy appeared on Ye Ruilin's face.
Even if he only controlled ordinary five-element power, relying on the profundity of the Primordial Art, he would have the confidence to become the Lord of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
Now, he had absorbed the power of the Shattered Godhead from both the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King.
Although the godheads were shattered, the origin of their power remained.
As long as the origin of power existed, what difficulty would there be in condensing a brand-new godhead?
At his current stage, he was equivalent to having the seeds of two godheads.
Those gods in the Douluo Continent, no matter how formidable, were at most dual-god-position holders possessing two godheads.
And if he were to truly gather the five elements, control the power of five godheads, and condense a godhead that belonged solely to him—the Qilin Godhead!
What kind of powerful existence would he become then?
