Lu Chen's heart tightened.

He could tell that this attack was completely different from the ones before.

Although the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King were left with only their divine consciousness, they had once been beings on the level of divine beasts.

Now that the two were gathering their strength at once, even if they were far from their peak, this was still not an attack an ordinary Titled Douluo could imagine.

An aura of world-ending destruction spread across the lakebed.

At the same time, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well began to tremble.

On the shore, Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo all looked up almost simultaneously.

The spring water was no longer calm.

The red and blue surface churned violently, while the spiritual energy within the valley was forcibly stirred into chaos.

Immediately afterward, two auras at the level of divine beasts seeped out from the lakebed—one icy, one fiery; ancient, vast, and majestic, as though two primordial beings were awakening.

Yue Guan's face instantly turned pale. "What kind of aura is this?"

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted. That aura stood high above them, completely surpassing the level of a Titled Douluo.

Even sensing the slightest trace of it gave him the illusion that his Soul Power had become obstructed.

Bibi Dong felt it most deeply.

She had a connection to the Rakshasa God and had come into contact with divine thoughts, so she could judge the level of these auras better than anyone else.

Precisely because of that, the shock in her heart was greater than anyone's.

These two auras actually seemed stronger than even the Rakshasa God's divine thoughts.

At the very least, in terms of pure life level and pressure, they felt older and more immense to her.

Bibi Dong's expression became more solemn than ever.

What exactly had happened beneath the lake?

What had Lu Chen encountered?

Yue Guan could not help asking, "Your Holiness, should we go down?"

Bibi Dong did not answer immediately.

Of course she wanted to go down, but the aura beneath the lake was far too terrifying. Entering rashly might not help Lu Chen at all; it might even drag them into an unknown danger.

She could only stare fixedly at the spring water and wait for a clearer opportunity.

But just as everyone's minds were shaken beneath the pressure of the two divine beast auras, another, even more terrifying aura suddenly spread forth.

That aura appeared with astonishing speed and overwhelming dominance.

It was neither like the Ice Dragon King's extreme cold nor the Fire Dragon King's extreme heat. It was a stranger, deeper power.

It seemed to come from beyond the world itself, carrying an indifferent will to Devour everything and erase everything.

Compared to it, even the auras of the two divine beasts were suppressed for an instant.

Bibi Dong's pupils shrank.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei froze at the same time.

Dugu Bo felt his scalp go numb.

If the two divine beast auras had shocked them just now, then this aura made them instinctively feel danger.

It was not merely powerful. It was as though it belonged to an entirely different system.

Within the special space beneath the lake, Leugocyte finally stopped concealing itself in the face of the two Dragon Kings' imminent combined attack.

It slowly spread the wings behind its back.

As its wings unfolded, dark purple radiance spread from its body.

The light was not dazzling, yet it seemed to darken the entire space for an instant.

Countless streams of power gathered toward the core in its chest. Purple energy compressed and condensed without end, eventually forming a fluctuation that made even Lu Chen's mind tremble.

Lu Chen, still in the state of an observer, steadied himself.

He knew that Leugocyte was about to unleash its truly powerful strength.

The Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King's combined attack was completed at the same moment.

One red and one blue force converged into a terrifying torrent, carrying momentum that seemed capable of tearing apart space as it blasted toward Leugocyte.

Extreme cold and extreme heat no longer repelled each other within this attack. Instead, they formed a destructive balance.

Everywhere they passed, the entire space shook violently.

At that same moment, the purple glow at Leugocyte's chest core finished charging to its limit.

The next instant, an ultimate purple annihilation beam shot forth.

Genesis Requiem.

That beam was not broad, yet it was condensed to an unimaginable degree.

It tore through space, carrying the force to annihilate all things as it directly met the combined attack of the two Dragon Kings.

The two forces collided in midair.

There was no prolonged stalemate.

The purple annihilation beam almost instantly shattered the intertwined red-and-blue assault, piercing straight through that seemingly world-destroying attack.

The powers of extreme cold and extreme heat crumbled away layer by layer before the beam, as though erased by some higher-order force.

The Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King roared at the same time.

But Genesis Requiem had already broken their combined attack and continued onward, striking heavily at the consciousnesses of the two Dragon Kings.

Purple radiance swallowed the red and blue.

The enormous consciousnesses of the two Dragon Kings trembled violently beneath this ultimate killing move, their forms slowly beginning to turn transparent.

They were clearly unwilling to accept this, their draconic eyes filled with fury and shock.

As former divine beasts, even though they had fallen for many years and only remnants of their consciousness remained, they had never imagined they would be suppressed to such an extent by something attached to a human.

The Fire Dragon King roared, "Impossible!"

The Ice Dragon King's voice was no longer calm. "What exactly are you?"

Leugocyte did not answer.

Or rather, it had no intention of responding with words at all.

The power of Genesis Requiem gradually faded, and the consciousnesses of the two Dragon Kings had become far more illusory.

They still struggled, still sought to gather their strength again, but Leugocyte gave them no such chance.

The next moment, Leugocyte's form changed once more.

Its roughly thirty-meter beastly body suddenly began to disperse, transforming of its own accord.

Its body became a dark-purple gaseous cloud, expanding in an instant as it swept toward the consciousnesses of the two Dragon Kings.

Sensing that something was wrong, the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King immediately tried to retreat.

But their consciousnesses had just been severely injured by Genesis Requiem and were already far less solid than before.

The dark-purple cloud spread with astonishing speed, enveloping the two dragon souls in the blink of an eye.

The two Dragon Kings let out unwilling roars.

Red and blue light flickered violently within the cloud, as though desperately trying to break free of its restraints.

But the gaseous cloud formed by Leugocyte continued to contract, consume, and cover them, forcibly suppressing those two consciousnesses within it.

Lu Chen remained in the role of a spectator, yet he could clearly sense that Leugocyte's target was not merely the two dragon souls.

Sure enough, after enveloping the consciousnesses of the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King, the dark-purple cloud did not stop. Instead, it continued to expand.

It spread downward, covering the two enormous dragon corpses.

Those two magnificent and massive dragon corpses still lay silently within the space.

Even with their consciousnesses suppressed, the lingering dragon might on their corpses remained astonishing.

But as the dark-purple cloud drew near, that dragon might seemed to be suppressed by a higher-order power and gradually receded.

The cloud formed by Leugocyte continued to spread, eventually enveloping the corpses of both Dragon Kings as well.

The red and blue radiance was covered by dark purple, and the originally surging power of ice and fire within this special space gradually settled down as well.

The tremors, pressure, and violent energy all seemed to be forcibly held down by some existence, slowly sinking into silence.
