Meng Chen smiled faintly. "Does Lord Snow Empress not believe me?"

Snow Empress fell silent.

It was indeed hard not to believe Meng Chen. He was so powerful that he hardly seemed human at all.

She had never seen any human capable of even killing gods.

However... although Meng Chen could slay gods, the price he paid was considerable.

"After awakening, it seems your soul power has suffered quite a loss. You are not as strong as you were before your slumber."

Meng Chen was helpless. This was indeed a problem, especially since he had just awakened and then suppressed four Titled Douluo, worsening the loss even further.

However, Meng Chen did have a way to replenish his overdrawn soul.

"It is not a major issue. I have my own method for replenishing my Soul Body."

Meng Chen smiled.

Snow Empress's heart stirred.

After spending so long together, Snow Empress had long known that Meng Chen was not from this world, but from a plane called the Fierce-Flame Continent.

In such an unfamiliar world, what method could he possibly have to quickly replenish the consumption of his Soul Body?

The next day, Meng Chen had Shui Bing'er head to Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest lay east of Heaven Dou City, a vast primeval forest.

"Ice-Fire Dual Eye?"

Hearing the unfamiliar place name from Meng Chen, Shui Bing'er blinked her large eyes in confusion.

After entering Sunset Forest, Meng Chen continuously sensed the Ice-Fire Dual Eye's precise location and directed Shui Bing'er along the way.

Following Meng Chen's directions, Shui Bing'er ventured deeper and deeper into Sunset Forest.

Under Meng Chen's protection, Shui Bing'er naturally would not leak any aura and be discovered by Spirit Beasts.

The surrounding trees grew taller and taller, their branches and leaves increasingly dense.

A mountain appeared ahead, and before long, Shui Bing'er arrived at Dugu Bo's Poison Array.

With Meng Chen's methods, Shui Bing'er could naturally pass through the Poison Array without alerting Dugu Bo.

Then Shui Bing'er began climbing the mountain, until the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Before her was an inverted cone-shaped valley. Shui Bing'er activated her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul Possession and, following Meng Chen's instructions, flew into the valley.

"Huh? What a peculiar... spring!"

Arriving before the Ice-Fire Dual Eye, Shui Bing'er sniffed the distinct scent of sulfur and could not help but exclaim in surprise.

A small spring appeared before her eyes. She had originally wanted to call it a hot spring.

Yet one side of the spring emitted freezing air, covered by a layer of white ice that carried a biting chill.

Only the other side somewhat resembled a hot spring, but it was crimson red. Rather than a hot spring, it looked more like magma.

Seeing this, Meng Chen immediately emerged from Shui Bing'er's chest and examined the treasured place before him.

The Ice-Fire Dual Eye.

The place where the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had fallen, where ten-thousand-year ice and ten-thousand-year magma coexisted.

Extreme cold and extreme heat met here, yet did not annihilate one another. Instead, they formed a strange balance, and spiritual energy nourished the growth of the immortal herbs around them.

As a Spirit Beast, Snow Empress immediately sensed some peculiar aura by the Ice-Fire Dual Eye's spring pool.

She promptly manifested outside the body as well. Looking at the strange spring pool before her, her heart stirred. Could this fellow be planning to...

Meng Chen secretly nodded. The dragon souls beneath the spring would indeed be useful to him.

Thus, he instructed Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er, wait here. Your Master will return shortly."

Shui Bing'er nodded. "Then Master, you must be careful."

Meng Chen agreed, then said to Snow Empress, "I will trouble Snow Empress to watch over Bing'er."

Snow Empress said, "Do not worry. Even for my own sake, I will not let anything happen to Bing'er."

Only then did Meng Chen feel at ease. He temporarily left Shui Bing'er's body and hovered independently above the Ice-Fire Dual Eye.

He carefully sensed the area for a while before descending, silently sinking into the spring water.

Though Meng Chen was clearly an illusory Soul Body, fine ripples spread across the surface of the Ice-Fire Dual Eye's waters.

Standing by the pool, Shui Bing'er watched the ripples fade and could not help worrying about Meng Chen.

Deep within the Ice-Fire Dual Eye, there was no light.

Meng Chen's Soul Body descended through endless darkness. Chaos Qi circulated around him, wrapping his Soul Body in a faint halo to protect him from the two forces of extreme cold and extreme heat.

Though endless darkness surrounded him, Meng Chen's senses had already pierced through the ten-thousand-zhang abyss.

He sensed two enormous phantoms, one icy and one fiery, coiled at the bottom of the Ice-Fire Dual Eye.

They were the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, who had fallen here long ago.

Two great supplements.

A smile appeared on Meng Chen's lips.

The two dragon souls sensed the intruder and actually opened their dragon eyes as though they were corporeal. Their eyes lit up in the darkness.

"Roar—"

Two dragon roars shook the heavens!

The dragon roars even pierced through the layers of earth above, reaching the surface and filling Shui Bing'er with panic!

As expected of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. Even after falling for who knew how many tens of thousands of years, they still possessed such power.

"Senior Snow Empress, my Master..."

Shui Bing'er could not help worrying for him.

"Do not worry. Your Master will be fine."

Snow Empress comforted her softly.

Yet she could not help feeling puzzled.

Judging from the aura she sensed and the commotion just now, Meng Chen clearly knew there were two dragon souls here.

Even Snow Empress had not known that.

Meng Chen was also someone from another plane, so how had he known there were dragon souls here that could replenish the losses of his Soul Body?

Meng Chen opened his eyes and looked at the two enormous phantoms awakening below him. "Put yourselves to good use. Lend this one your souls and restore my power!"

Seeming to sense hostile intent, the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul phantom abruptly solidified. In that instant, it seemed to return to its peak from ten thousand years ago, then charged at Meng Chen with boundless heat.

On the other side, the Ice Dragon King also charged toward Meng Chen, carrying the chill of ultimate ice.

Looking at those two immense powers, one cold and one hot, Meng Chen could not help recalling A Song of Ice and Fire, which had run for eight seasons.

"What a shame. It had a terrible ending."

Meng Chen sighed, then raised a hand to summon the Chaos Bead. It spun rapidly in his palm, stirring up endless Chaos Power.

Meng Chen softly chanted, "Chaos Return to Origin."

The Chaos Bead erupted with boundless might and descended upon the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

The dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, with only instinct remaining, sensed the approach of utter destruction. Terrified beyond measure, they began struggling violently.

The waters of the Ice-Fire Dual Eye more than ten thousand zhang above churned violently, and columns of water several zhang high exploded from the surface.

Snow Empress lightly waved her delicate hand, and a curtain of light enveloped Shui Bing'er, protecting her. The spring water's extreme cold and heat could not harm her in the slightest.

Beneath the Ice-Fire Dual Eye, the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King had already been suppressed by Meng Chen, solidifying into two fist-sized beads, one red and one blue.

Within the beads, two dragon shadows could vaguely be seen roaring without end.

Meng Chen cultivated where he was. The Dragon Soul Beads formed from the Ice and Fire Dragon King floated before him, constantly releasing radiance that he absorbed into his body.

Although the two dragon shadows within the Dragon Soul Beads continued roaring, and the beads continuously trembled in resistance, they could never escape Meng Chen's restraint. Their roars gradually weakened, and their trembling slowly ceased.

In the end, the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King were completely devoured by Meng Chen. He immediately felt his Soul Body recover a considerable amount of strength.

Meng Chen smiled faintly.

"Thank you for the meal."
