Leugocyte's guidance was still continuing.

That intent was very quiet, but very clear, as if it were telling Lu Chen the direction.

Lu Chen followed the sensation downward, focusing on controlling his body's condition to avoid any problems halfway.

Red and blue light flowed around him, and his field of vision grew smaller and smaller.

Lu Chen could feel that he was approaching the true depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The aura here was completely different from that on the water's surface. The extreme cold and extreme heat were no longer merely external conditions, but forces that seemed to surge endlessly up from somewhere deeper.

They came from the bottom of the lake, from that area he still had not seen clearly.

As the distance continued to shrink, the pull in Lu Chen's heart also became increasingly obvious.

It was like some power that had slumbered for a very long time had reacted to the Martial Soul inside him.

And Leugocyte's existence made that reaction even clearer.

The water pressure continued to increase, and the colors of the red and blue spring water also became richer.

Lu Chen adjusted his breathing. Soul Power circulated slowly through his body, stabilizing his condition.

He could feel that his sinking speed had slowed a little, but his direction had not changed.

Finally, after diving down for another stretch, the currents around him seemed to undergo a subtle change.

The feeling of gradually approaching solid ground beneath his feet became more and more distinct.

Lu Chen's gaze sharpened slightly.

He knew he was almost at the bottom.

Lu Chen continued sinking downward.

Finally, at a certain moment, he suddenly felt as if his body had passed through an invisible film, as if he had broken through the boundary of some special space.

The red and blue spring water around him abruptly emptied away, and the originally chaotic forces became much calmer in that instant.

The scene before Lu Chen's eyes changed with it.

Two enormous dragon corpses appeared in his field of vision.

They lay quietly across this special space. One was crimson from head to tail, its scales like divine fire that still had not gone out after burning to the end. The other was crystalline ice-blue, as if carved from ten-thousand-year profound ice.

Both dragon corpses were astonishingly huge. Even though they had already lost their lives, they still carried an indescribable majesty and beauty.

Every dragon scale was like a carefully polished work of art, and every dragon horn exuded an ancient and noble aura.

They were clearly only corpses, yet it was as if they were still the rulers of this world.

The sources of the extreme cold and extreme heat were slowly spreading from their bodies, then merging into the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Lu Chen's heart shook. Even seeing them with his own eyes, the impact still far exceeded his imagination.

Even though Lu Chen had long known these two sets of remains had extraordinary origins, he had not expected them to give off such an intense sense of oppression.

The next moment, the remaining dragon might on the two dragon corpses suddenly pressed down on him.

That pressure was not simple power. It was like the condescension of a higher level of life looking down on a lower level of life.

It seemed ready to crush directly into the depths of Lu Chen's spirit, to make him lower his head, make him submit, make him acknowledge his own insignificance before the dragon race.

If it had been an ordinary Soul Master, their spirit would probably have collapsed completely in that single instant.

Lu Chen's body sank slightly.

He could sense the terror of that dragon might, and he could also sense the innate arrogance and command carried within that pressure.

But the instant that dragon might touched his subconscious, no fear rose in Lu Chen's heart.

On the contrary, he only felt that he had been provoked.

A fury that was hard to suppress rose from somewhere deeper.

That was not Lu Chen's own emotion. It was as if Leugocyte, which was possessing him, had been enraged by something.

The existence that had originally lain dormant inside him in his state of Martial Soul Possession now seemed to have truly come alive.

Lu Chen's eyes changed abruptly.

The next instant, a terrifying cry burst from his throat beyond his control.

It was sharp, vast, and bizarre, yet it carried a pressure that stood above all things, as if it came from the depths of the starry sky, from somewhere even more distant than this world.

The roar exploded through this space.

Immediately afterward, it actually traveled outward along the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, piercing through the spring water, piercing through the valley, and resounding throughout the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

On the shore, Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei had already finished absorbing their respective immortal herbs.

All three of them were Title Douluo, and their physical endurance and Soul Power levels were far beyond those of ordinary Soul Masters.

After Yue Guan absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, his aura clearly became gentler and more complete. After Gui Mei absorbed the Hell God Exquisite, his entire presence seemed even deeper and darker.

After Bibi Dong consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, her spiritual aura also became increasingly condensed, allowing her to suppress the Rakshasa Evil Thought better.

At this moment, all of them were waiting for Lu Chen to return.

But just then, that terrifying dragon roar suddenly rang out from the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Yue Guan's expression changed instantly. "That sound..."

Gui Mei said in a low voice, "It's the roar of Lu Chen's Martial Soul."

Bibi Dong abruptly looked toward the center of the spring.

Of course, she could also tell that aura was connected to Lu Chen's Martial Soul.

But the question was, why would Lu Chen let out a roar like that from the bottom of the lake? What exactly had happened down there to make his Martial Soul react so violently?

Dugu Bo's heart also tightened from the shock of that sound.

In that instant, he even felt as if the entire valley had been glanced over by some terrifying existence.

"Nothing's gone wrong down there, has it?" Yue Guan said with a frown.

Bibi Dong did not answer. Her Soul Power had already gathered once more.

But Lu Chen had transmitted to them earlier that his opportunity lay at the bottom of the lake.

Now, although they were worried, they could not be sure whether rashly going down would instead interfere with him.

For a moment, none of them moved. They only stared at the center of the spring, their expressions grave.

And in that special space, as Leugocyte's roar rang out, the two dragon corpses that had originally lain silent also changed.

From the red dragon corpse and the blue dragon corpse, a phantom of light suddenly rose from each.

One was crimson as fire, the other ice-blue as frost.

They were two dragon souls.

The lingering divine consciousnesses of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King were stirred at this moment, flying out from within the dragon corpses.

Though their forms were not as solid as the corpses, they remained enormous and majestic, their dragon eyes carrying an ancient, arrogant light.

After the two dragon souls appeared, they looked at Lu Chen at once.

Only, when they saw clearly that the one who had come was merely a human youth, the expectation in their eyes quickly turned into displeasure.

The Fire Dragon King's temper was clearly the more violent.

It stared at Lu Chen, its voice like rolling thunder and fire. "A human?"

The Ice Dragon King's gaze also turned cold, disappointment in its tone. "I thought the one capable of triggering the changes here would be a powerful dragon, but I never expected it to be merely a human brat."

A flame-like aura surged around the Fire Dragon King. "A mere human dares intrude upon the place where we slumber, and even dares use that sound to provoke the majesty of the dragon race."

Lu Chen did not speak.

More accurately, at this moment, his body was already not entirely under his control.

Leugocyte's will was awakening, and it was more obvious than ever before.

Facing the divine consciousnesses of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King, that aura from Leugocyte not only did not shrink back, but instead became even deeper.
