Level fifty!
Yang Fan's eyes snapped open, shock flashing deep within them.
That's right—not level forty, but level fifty!
As the two Divine Level soul bones fused, the last wisp of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remnant souls let out a long, relieved dragon's roar under the pull of the Dragon God Reverse Scale. In the end, they became a red-and-blue soul ring faintly glowing with golden light, slowly rising beneath his feet.
Red and blue flowed endlessly through the soul ring, while golden patterns flickered in and out of view, radiating a palpitating pressure.
Black, black, black, red and blue!
Four soul rings emerged beneath Yang Fan's feet, making him look like a god of war.
The bottleneck that had trapped him at the peak of level forty due to the Ice and Fire Body Tempering was instantly shattered by the immense energy of the Divine Level soul bones and soul ring. His cultivation surged wildly before finally stabilizing at level fifty!
Just as Yang Fan was reveling in the surprise brought by this great fortune, an abrupt change occurred!
"Pfft—"
Without warning, Yang Fan threw back his head and sprayed out a mouthful of bright red blood like mist, instantly dyeing the springwater beneath him crimson.
He felt as if his internal organs had been smashed by a heavy hammer, while an indescribable tearing pain surged wildly backward through the meridians in his arms.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were true Dragon Kings!
Even if only their remnant souls and remains were left, and even with the Dragon God Reverse Scale assisting him, this power was still far too tyrannical for Yang Fan, who was merely a level-fifty Soul Ancestor!
As the saying went, those unworthy of their station would surely suffer disaster.
The vast energy and bloodline power contained within the Divine Level soul bones crashed through Yang Fan's meridians like a breached flood. Under the overwhelming torrent of Soul Power, his meridians let out a cry of unbearable strain, as though they might shatter inch by inch at any moment.
If he had not consumed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, undergone the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, and possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's Spring Breeze Blows and Regenerates, Yang Fan would likely have exploded on the spot.
"Urgh!"
Yang Fan let out a pained groan. His legs gave way, and he nearly fell back into the spring.
The color that had just returned to his face rapidly drained away again, becoming ever paler until it carried a terrifying ashen hue.
Sunset Forest, where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located—right and wrong were difficult to judge. Yet all transmigrators noticed that it was at this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that the rise and fall of Tang God King's family had been decided, one rising as another declined. Thus, fanfiction had long spoken of contending for supremacy at the Yin Yang Well.
I didn't understand why everyone kept talking about how the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had fallen here, as if this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had doomed me, Yang Fan, to disaster.
Three or four years ago, I had set out from Shambhala Village and begun obtaining my first soul ring, and the Heart of Eros had finally activated. Wherever Yang Fan went, the people welcomed him wholeheartedly. I had seized every advantage of timing; that vibrant vitality, that flourishing competition of all things, was still vivid before my eyes.
Could this place really become my burial ground after only a few short years? No matter what, I had the Heart of Eros, the Dragon God Reverse Scale, and the destiny of a transmigrator. The advantage was mine!
God Realm, Forest of Life.
Life energy so dense it seemed almost impossible to disperse flowed among the towering ancient trees. The Goddess of Life sat beneath the Ancient Tree of Life when she suddenly furrowed her delicate brows and gently placed a slender hand over her chest.
"Hm? Xiao Zi, why do I feel like something seems to be wrong over on Douluo Continent...?"
Her voice was soft as water, yet the unease in her heart was impossible to hide.
Not far away, the God of Destruction reclined against a massive purplish-black boulder, flipping through a volume of Divine Realm Ancient Records.
Hearing his wife's words, he did not even raise his head. He casually waved a hand. "What could possibly be wrong? It's probably Asura again, in such a rush to retire that he's picking through Douluo Continent for an heir."
As the God of Destruction spoke, he continued staring at the ancient records in his hands, brows tightly furrowed as if studying some profound mystery.
In truth, what Divine Realm matter was he researching? He was merely combing through all the God Realm's records, trying to find a way to touch his own wife.
Whenever he thought of it, the God of Destruction could not help cursing inwardly.
The five great enforcers of the God Realm had all been transformed from the Creator God. They shared the same origin and were two sides of one whole. So why could Goodness and Evil be lovey-dovey together every day? They had even found their heirs already and were ready to run off at any moment to live the life of an immortal couple!
While he could not even touch... At that thought, purplish-black lightning crackled wildly all over the God of Destruction's body in fury.
"Xiao Zi!"
The Goddess of Life looked at this so-called husband of hers and sighed helplessly, her beautiful eyes filled with resignation.
"Forget it..."
The Goddess of Life shook her head, the inexplicable unease in her heart growing stronger.
Still unable to set her mind at ease, the Goddess of Life decided to go down and take a look herself. However, bound by the God Realm's strict rules, she could not descend in her true body. With a thought, she activated her super divine artifact, the Ancient Tree of Life.
A leaf glowing with soft green light drifted silently down, and the Goddess of Life infused a wisp of her divided soul into it.
A Quasi-God avatar shouldn't count as breaking the rules.
Then, with a flick of her fingertip, the leaf transformed into an almost imperceptible streak of light. It silently passed through the God Realm's barrier and drifted toward Douluo Continent.
Somewhere in the unseen, it was as though an invisible thread of fate guided her. Before she knew it, she had arrived in the deepest part of Sunset Forest.
When she saw the clearly divided spring below, where red and blue waters intertwined, Xiao Lu's stunning eyes flashed with surprise and shock.
"This... is actually the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. I never expected their bodies to have been swept into Douluo Continent after their deaths?"
Xiao Lu inwardly lamented the unpredictable fates of the two Dragon Kings.
The Dragon God had gone mad because of the will of the universe. The beast gods had descended into chaos, and humans, gods, and beast gods had gone to war. The sorrow of that battle remained unforgettable to her even now, and it was also the root of her conflict with Destruction.
Xiao Zi's ideals were too similar to those of the Dragon God back then. Even the Supreme God Kings had failed to accomplish it, yet he, a God King, still wanted to take that risk? The God Realm could not endure such a war again.
"Hm? The Dragon God actually left behind a Reverse Scale?"
Life finally noticed Yang Fan, whose life hung in the balance.
At that moment, the bloodlines of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King within Yang Fan's body were clashing violently.
The utterly opposing energies of extreme cold and extreme heat were like two awakened ancient beasts within him, biting, colliding, and tearing at his meridians and bones.
Even the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was beginning to buckle under the pressure.
"What... what a mad human. He actually dared to contain the soul bones of both the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings? But this human is quite lucky—he also has a life-type soul bone. Otherwise, he shouldn't have lasted until now."
Life slightly furrowed her delicate brows, secretly marveling at the human's audacity. She also felt some resentment toward the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings for still harming a child barely over ten years old even after death.
No matter how great the opportunity, you had to survive to claim it.
The Goddess of Life mobilized the projection of the Ancient Tree of Life. In the present-day Douluo Continent, she could only wield the power of a Quasi-God.
But how could a Quasi-God possibly mediate the bloodline conflict between the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?
She took a deep breath and quickly came up with a solution.
Her slender hands formed seals rapidly before her, her movements flowing like clouds and running water. With every motion, boundless green Soul Power rippled outward like waves, instantly enveloping Yang Fan's entire body with gentle warmth.
"Vortex!"
The Goddess of Life parted her red lips and gave a low cry.
In an instant, immense Soul Power and pure life energy intertwined, forming an invisible yet resilient net. It deftly caught hold of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' bloodlines within Yang Fan, forcing them to circulate in a mysterious vortex.
The forces of extreme cold and extreme heat rubbed violently against each other at the edge of the vortex, unleashing a terrifying pressure.
Yet under the Goddess of Life's incomparably exquisite control, they miraculously formed a subtle and fragile balance.
At the same time, an ultimate ice-and-fire origin erupted from within Yang Fan, weaving together into a massive cocoon of ice and fire as the violent aura gradually calmed.
