Battling the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings

The Fire Dragon King did not waste any more words.

It had always been short-tempered, and the earlier roar had already enraged it. Now that it saw Lu Chen was merely a human youth, its dissatisfaction only grew.

The next moment, the Fire Dragon King's immense dragon soul suddenly moved. Blazing flames transformed into an attack that blanketed the sky and earth, crushing directly toward Lu Chen.

This was ultimate fire capable of affecting the very foundation of the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Even when driven only by residual divine consciousness, it carried destructive power.

The surrounding space was instantly filled with searing heat, as though it intended to burn Lu Chen and this entire area to ashes.

Faced with that overwhelming attack, Rugesite within Lu Chen's mind finally moved.

At that very moment, Lu Chen suddenly discovered that his state had changed.

His consciousness had not vanished, but it felt as though it had been pulled into a strange position.

He could see the outside world and sense the changes in his body, yet he was no longer its primary controller.

The feeling was much like watching a battle from the sidelines.

Rugesite had attached itself to his martial soul and indirectly taken control of his body through it.

Lu Chen's heart stirred.

He could sense that as long as he actively released his Martial Soul Possession, this state would immediately end.

In other words, his body had not been forcibly taken from him. Rather, Rugesite had borrowed his martial soul and body to face a battle far beyond his current level in his stead.

Of course, Lu Chen would not be foolish enough to release his Martial Soul Possession now.

What a joke.

Before him was the divine consciousness of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Even if it was only residual, it was still far beyond what he could handle at his current level.

If he relied on himself, he probably would not even be able to withstand a casual strike from the Fire Dragon King.

But things were different now.

The Universe Devourer, the universe's white blood cell, Color Dragon Rugesite, was personally stepping in to fight for him.

For Lu Chen, this opportunity alone was an exceptionally rare chance to observe.

Seeing firsthand how Rugesite wielded its power would undoubtedly be of great help in controlling his martial soul in the future.

What was more, he could use this chance to truly experience Rugesite's fighting style.

Thus, Lu Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately calmed down and handed control of his body over to Rugesite.

The next moment, the state of Martial Soul Possession around him began to change.

The previous form, resembling armor covering his body, vanished.

In its place appeared a beast-like body far closer to a Martial Soul Avatar.

Drawn by immense power, Lu Chen's body rapidly expanded. The structure of his bones and muscles was reshaped by the power of his martial soul, while his appearance gradually approached Rugesite's form.

Within only a few breaths, he transformed from a human youth into a massive beastly body around thirty meters tall.

Compared with the true two Dragon Kings, this body was still considerably smaller.

Yet the aura it emitted was not weak in the slightest.

It was an aura completely different from that of the soul beasts of the Douluo Continent—chaotic, mysterious, profound, yet carrying a cold sense of order.

It was as though it did not belong to this world, but was an existence that had descended from the distant cosmos.

The Fire Dragon King's attack, already unleashed, seemed to be suppressed for an instant as it approached this body.

The Fire Dragon King's pupils contracted slightly.

Though it was violent-tempered, it was by no means ignorant.

The transformation on this human boy's body had clearly exceeded its expectations.

That aura was unlike the dragon race, and unlike any existence it knew from the God Realm.

But precisely because of that, it dared not let down its guard.

"Pretending to be mysterious."

The Fire Dragon King roared angrily and immediately increased the force of its attack.

Blazing flames surged forth, transforming into an even vaster sea of fire that crashed down upon Lu Chen's body under Rugesite's control.

Rugesite did not evade. It raised an arm.

The next moment, a purple spiral-shaped spatial shield rapidly condensed before it.

Countless rotating patterns seemed to cover the shield's surface. Layers of purple light spread outward, firmly sealing off the space ahead.

The Fire Dragon King's attack slammed into the shield with a thunderous crash.

Terrifying flames erupted, space shook violently, and the scorching heat swept out in a frenzy.

Yet that purple spiral shield remained firmly in place, blocking every bit of the attack.

The flames were drawn into the spiral, then twisted and dispersed, unable to truly harm the body controlled by Rugesite.

Lu Chen, watching from within, felt his mind tremble.

He recognized it.

This was Leugocyte's skill.

Genesis Spiral Barrier.

The Fire Dragon King's attack had failed, and its fury only grew stronger.

The Ice Dragon King had not intended to strike immediately, but when it saw the Fire Dragon King's attack blocked, its gaze turned grave as well.

It no longer stood by. Its icy-blue dragon soul slowly unfurled as extreme cold rapidly gathered.

"This thing is strange. We cannot underestimate it."

As soon as the Ice Dragon King spoke, frigid light filled the sky.

Icy-blue power transformed into countless sharp ice phantoms, attacking Leugocyte from another direction.

Wherever the chill passed, space itself seemed to freeze, even suppressing the lingering heat waves left behind by the Fire Dragon King.

One fire, one ice—the two Dragon Kings struck at once.

Leugocyte still did not retreat.

It spread its arms slightly, and in the next instant, several dark-purple, blade-like tentacles extended from them.

Those tentacles were not cumbersome at all. Instead, they were remarkably flexible, like long blades capable of changing direction at will.

The tip of every tentacle glimmered with sharp dark light, as if it could slice through space. This was also one of Leugocyte's abilities.

The dark-purple tentacles suddenly erupted, wildly attacking the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King.

They simultaneously possessed four effects: binding, entangling, cutting, and locking onto enemies.

Some tentacles coiled around the Fire Dragon King's claws and body, while others slashed toward the ice power gathered by the Ice Dragon King.

Several more seemed to have locked onto their targets in advance. No matter how the two Dragon Kings moved, they swiftly turned to pursue them.

The Fire Dragon King roared repeatedly, using blazing flames to burn the tentacles.

The Ice Dragon King used cold air to freeze them, attempting to restrain them.

But the dark-purple tentacles were extremely troublesome. Even when part of them was burned away by flames, they quickly extended again. Even when temporarily frozen in ice, they could twist free.

They continuously interfered with the two Dragon Kings, preventing either the Fire Dragon King or Ice Dragon King from suppressing Leugocyte effectively.

Lu Chen watched with utmost focus from his spectator state. This was a rare opportunity.

Leugocyte's every defense and every attack showed him the true fighting method of this martial soul.

It did not rely solely on overwhelming power. Defense, sealing, binding, and counterattacks worked together in coordination.

Even when facing the divine senses of two Dragon Kings, it showed no sign of panic.

The two Dragon Kings were clearly becoming irritated by this fighting style as well.

The Fire Dragon King in particular had never been patient. After being repeatedly held back by the dark-purple tentacles, its fury nearly erupted completely.

"Enough!"

With an enraged roar from the Fire Dragon King, the crimson radiance around its body suddenly surged.

The Ice Dragon King also realized there was no point in continuing this entanglement, so it swiftly converged with the Fire Dragon King.

One red and one blue dragon soul stood side by side.

Extreme heat and extreme cold rose at the same time.

They no longer attacked separately, instead gathering their power in the same place.

Red flames and blue frostlight intertwined in midair, forming an incomparably terrifying fluctuation.

Before that power could truly be unleashed, the entire special space had already begun to tremble.
