After obtaining Di Lintian's method for transferring poison, Dugu Bo hurriedly left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to search for Soul Bones.
At this moment, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the ground, refining the Radiant Dragon Tongue Orchid.
Di Lintian stepped forward. With a jade dagger in hand, he swiftly cut down the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
Then, with a thought, the Dragon Scale Sword appeared behind him. He slowly raised two joined fingers and pointed toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass on the opposite shore.
With a whoosh, the Dragon Scale Sword flew out, cut it down, and brought it back.
Looking at the two Immortal Herbs before him, Di Lintian did not hesitate in the slightest. He grabbed one in each hand and stuffed them into his mouth whole.
Extreme cold and extreme heat erupted within Di Lintian's body in an instant. One moment, blazing flames engulfed his body; the next, he was covered in a layer of frost.
Di Lintian dragged his feet forward with difficulty, wanting to plunge into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before him.
With a splash, Di Lintian fell into the spring. The Extreme Cold Yin Spring and Scorching Yang Spring instantly balanced the extreme cold and heat within his body.
"The remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings should be down here."
Di Lintian swung his arms and swam toward the deepest part of the spring.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was even deeper than Di Lintian had imagined. He had no idea how long he had been swimming, yet he still could not see the bottom.
Amid that hazy sensation, Di Lintian gradually lost consciousness.
"He's one of our Dragon Clan's little ones."
The unconscious Di Lintian seemed to hear people talking beside him. After struggling a few times, he finally opened his heavy eyelids.
"This one isn't little. The bloodline within him is even purer than ours."
The moment Di Lintian opened his eyes, he saw two semi-transparent little dragons floating beside him and discussing him.
"Are you the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?" Di Lintian had not expected that, after so many years, their remnant souls had yet to disperse.
"Little one, you know us?" The Ice Dragon King moved closer to Di Lintian's face. "No, you carry the aura of His Majesty the Dragon God."
As he spoke, the Ice Dragon King's eyes lit up. "You must be His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness, how long has it been since that war? How is His Majesty the Dragon God?" The Fire Dragon King also moved closer to Di Lintian's face.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had fallen during the war and knew nothing of what happened afterward. Only with Di Lintian's arrival today had they been awakened.
Di Lintian felt his vision go dark. How did I get assigned a father just from going for a swim?
He waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no, no. The Dragon God has already fallen, and I am not his descendant."
Di Lintian then told them the outcome of that battle. As for the process, he did not know it himself. He did not even know who had participated in that divine war.
"The Dragon God was defeated and split in two by the Asura God, becoming the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings. The Golden Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's power and is now sealed in the God Realm. The Silver Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's elements and wisdom, and is hiding in the Star Dou Forest to recover from her injuries."
"The Dragon God aura you speak of comes from the Silver Dragon King. I received her blessing, so naturally I carry her aura."
"How is that possible? Even all the gods of the God Realm together were no match for His Majesty the Dragon God!" The Ice Dragon King was full of disbelief.
"The Dragon God was indeed invincible, but something went wrong with him." Di Lintian explained.
"What could possibly have gone wrong with His Majesty the Dragon God?"
"That, I do not know." Di Lintian shook his head.
"You came this deep because you sensed our aura, didn't you?" After calming down for a moment, the Ice Dragon King asked.
"Yes, esteemed Dragon Kings. The Soul Beast race is now in a dire situation." Di Lintian instantly began to cry. "The God Realm no longer permits Soul Beasts to become gods. If Soul Beasts wish to become gods, they can only rebuild themselves as humans before attaining godhood."
"My goal is to bring the Soul Beast race back to the God Realm!"
Di Lintian cried until tears and snot streamed down his face, moving the two Dragon Kings beyond measure.
"Good child, you are a good child. Those gods must fear the emergence of another powerhouse like His Majesty the Dragon God." The Fire Dragon King said as he stroked Di Lintian's head with a phantom dragon claw.
"Let these remnants of ours lend you a hand."
The moment he finished speaking, the ground beneath Di Lintian's feet suddenly shook violently. A massive crack appeared, and the ground split apart to either side.
Di Lintian felt his consciousness flicker, and he returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well once more.
He looked at the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath his feet, upon which faint divine power still lingered.
Just as Di Lintian was absorbed in looking at them, the remains of the two Dragon Kings suddenly transformed into shimmering white light and fused into his body.
That sensation of ice and fire tormenting him at once struck again. Even within the icy and fiery spring water, his pain did not lessen in the slightest.
After a moment, the extreme cold and heat within Di Lintian finally weakened. In his perception, both of them surged toward his back.
A halo of divine power flashed across Di Lintian's body. A pair of majestic dragon wings spread out behind him, the left carrying bone-piercing cold while blazing flames danced along the right.
Beneath the slowly flapping ice-and-fire dragon wings hung a slightly smaller pair of pure black dragon wings, naturally drooping and radiating an aura of darkness. These were Di Lintian's own dragon wings.
Di Lintian sensed the dragon wings behind him, and a trace of delight flashed through his eyes. These were actually the dragon wings of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings—a god-level External Soul Bone!
"Little one, we used our final remains to condense this External Soul Bone for you. We will sleep within it, and we can block two god-level attacks for you." The Fire Dragon King's voice came from the blazing dragon wing.
"Not only that, this External Soul Bone can forcibly link the Soul Bones within your body and help you condense Divine Armor." The Ice Dragon King's voice also came from the frigid dragon wing.
"Thank you for your gift, esteemed Dragon Kings. This junior will certainly not disappoint your expectations and will lead the Soul Beast race to rise again!" Di Lintian clasped his fists deeply.
He sensed the changes within his body. Sure enough, just as the Ice Dragon King had said, the External Soul Bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had forcibly linked his skull Soul Bone and a hundred-thousand-year Abyssal Demon Wolf Left Arm Bone together!
Di Lintian had a premonition that as long as he absorbed the Soul Bones throughout his body, he would immediately be able to form the prototype of Divine Armor!
He now had an overwhelming urge to immediately absorb all of his Soul Bones.
No sooner thought than done. The flapping frequency of the Ice Ember God Wings behind him suddenly increased, and Di Lintian instantly flew out of the springs of extreme cold and heat, arriving above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Ice Ember God Wings was the name of this External Soul Bone. Ice represented the ice wing that approached absolute zero, while ember represented the fire wing that was even hotter than Ultimate Fire.
Di Lintian first looked at Qian Renxue, who was still absorbing the Immortal Herb. Seeing that she had not awakened, he sat cross-legged beside her, took out the last Soul Bone on him—the hundred-thousand-year Soul-Devouring Demon Locust Right Arm Bone given to him by the King of Myriad Demons—and began absorbing it with Soul Power.
After absorbing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, Di Lintian's Soul Power had reached level fifty. However, with the two Titled Douluo, Snake Lance and Pufferfish, still lurking in secret, he did not directly condense his fifth Soul Ring.
Not long after Di Lintian began absorbing it, Qian Renxue opened her eyes. Looking at the handsome youth beside her, she unknowingly felt her heartbeat quicken.
Her hand unconsciously reached out, wanting to touch the youth's face.
Halfway there,
she quickly withdrew her hand and cast a sidelong glance at the sky with her pale golden eyes.
