After obtaining the method to transfer toxins from Di Lintian, Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in a great hurry 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, his jade dagger flashing as he slashed down, severing the Blazing Apricot Delicate from the ground.
Immediately, he focused his mind, and the Dragon Scale Sword appeared behind him. He pressed two fingers together and slowly raised them, pointing toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass on the opposite bank.
The Dragon Scale Sword whistled through the air, slicing the herb down and carrying it back to him.
Looking at the two immortal herbs before him, Di Lintian did not hesitate in the slightest. He grabbed one in each hand and shoved them into his mouth, swallowing them whole.
Extreme cold and extreme heat erupted within Di Lintian's body instantly; one moment he was burning with scorching flames, and the next he was covered in a layer of frost.
Di Lintian dragged his feet with great difficulty, desperate to throw himself into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before him.
With a loud "splash," Di Lintian fell into the spring, and the Extreme Cold Yin Spring and the Scorching Yang Spring instantly balanced the extreme cold and heat within his body.
"The remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon King should be down here."
Di Lintian waved his arms, swimming toward the very bottom of the spring.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was deeper than Di Lintian had imagined. He had no idea how long he had been swimming, but he still could not see the bottom.
In this state of hazy disorientation, Di Lintian gradually lost consciousness.
"It's a little one from our Dragon Clan."
While unconscious, Di Lintian seemed to hear voices conversing beside him. After struggling for a few moments, he finally opened his heavy eyelids.
"This fellow isn't small at all; the bloodline within him is even more potent than yours or mine."
As soon as Di Lintian opened his eyes, he saw two small, translucent dragons floating beside him, discussing him.
"Are you the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King?" Di Lintian had not expected that after so many years, the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King would still exist.
"Little one, you recognize us?" The Ice Dragon King leaned in close to Di Lintian's face. "No, that's not right. You carry the aura of His Majesty the Dragon God."
At this, the Ice Dragon King's eyes lit up. "You must be His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness, how much time has passed since that war? How is His Majesty the Dragon God?" The Fire Dragon King also crowded in front of Di Lintian.
The Ice and Fire Dragon King had fallen during the war and were unaware of the subsequent outcome, only being awakened today by Di Lintian's arrival.
Di Lintian felt a darkness wash over him. How did he get forcibly assigned a father just by 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 the participants of that divine war were.
"The Dragon God was defeated and split in two by the Asura God, becoming the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's power and is currently sealed in the God Realm, while the Silver Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's elements and wisdom, 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? All the gods in the God Realm combined are no match for His Majesty the Dragon God!" The Ice Dragon King looked completely unconvinced.
"The Dragon God was indeed invincible, but he suffered from his own internal problems," Di Lintian explained to him.
"What kind of problems could His Majesty the Dragon God have?"
"That, I do not know." Di Lintian shook his head.
"You ventured this deep, so you must have sensed our aura," the Ice Dragon King asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, two Dragon King seniors. The Soul Beast clan is in a dire situation today." Di Lintian burst into tears instantly. "The God Realm no longer allows Soul Beasts to become gods. If a Soul Beast wishes to achieve godhood, they must reincarnate as a human and then attain divinity."
"My goal is to lead the Soul Beast clan back to the God Realm!"
Di Lintian cried until he was a mess of snot and tears, moving the two Dragon Kings deeply.
"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, stroking Di Lintian's head with a phantom dragon claw.
"Let our remains assist you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath Di Lintian's feet shook violently. A massive fissure appeared, and the ground split open to both sides.
Di Lintian felt his consciousness flicker, and he returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
He looked at the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon King beneath his feet, which were still imbued with faint divine power.
Just as Di Lintian was mesmerized by the sight, the remains of the two Dragon Kings suddenly turned into shimmering white light and merged into his body.
The sensation of being caught between ice and fire returned, and even the water of the spring could not help him reduce the pain in the slightest.
A moment later, the extreme cold and heat within Di Lintian finally subsided. In his perception, they surged toward his back.
A halo of divine power flashed across Di Lintian's body, and a pair of majestic dragon wings unfurled behind him. The left side was wreathed in biting frost, while the right side flickered with scorching flames.
Beneath the slowly flapping ice and fire dragon wings, a pair of pure black, slightly smaller dragon wings hung naturally, radiating an aura of darkness. These were Di Lintian's own dragon wings.
Di Lintian felt the wings behind him, a flash of surprise in his eyes. These were actually the dragon wings of the Ice and Fire Dragon King—a god-level external soul bone!
"Little one, we used our final remains to condense this external soul bone for you. We will slumber within it, and it can block two god-level attacks for you," the Fire Dragon King's voice echoed from the scorching wing.
"Not only that, but this external soul bone can forcibly link the soul bones within you, helping you condense a divine suit," the Ice Dragon King's voice also came from the freezing wing.
"Many thanks for the gift, two Dragon King seniors. This junior will certainly not fail your expectations and will lead the Soul Beast clan to rise once more!" Di Lintian bowed deeply.
He sensed the strange changes within him. Just as the Ice Dragon King had said, the Ice and Fire Dragon King's external spirit bone had forcibly linked his head spirit bone and the 100,000-year Abyssal Demon Wolf left arm bone together!
Di Lintian had a premonition that as soon as he absorbed a full set of spirit bones, he would immediately form the prototype of a divine suit!
He felt a sudden, restless urge to absorb all the remaining spirit bones right away.
Acting on his impulse, he increased the flapping frequency of the Ice Ember God Wings behind his back, and Di Lintian instantly flew out of the frigid and scorching spring, arriving above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Ice Ember God Wings was the name of this external spirit bone; "Ice" represented the wing that approached absolute zero, while "Ember" represented the wing that burned hotter than the Ultimate Fire.
Di Lintian first looked toward Qian Renxue, who was still absorbing the immortal herb. Seeing that she had not yet awakened, he sat cross-legged beside her, took out the final spirit bone in his possession—the 100,000-year Soul-Devouring Demon Locust right arm bone gifted to him by the King of Myriad Demons—and began to absorb it by channeling his spirit power.
After absorbing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate, Di Lintian's spirit power had already reached level fifty, but with the Titled Douluo Snake Spear and Pufferfish lurking in the shadows, he did not immediately condense his fifth spirit ring.
Di Lintian had only just begun his absorption when Qian Renxue opened her eyes. She looked at the handsome youth beside her, and before she realized it, her heartbeat had quickened.
Her hand reached out instinctively, wanting to touch the youth's face.
Halfway there, She pulled her hand back with lightning speed, her pale golden eyes glancing askance at the sky.
