Facing the Music!
Sensing the terrifying pressure its master was under, Ivysaur let out an angry hiss. The Four-Colored Light Wheel on its back spun wildly at an unprecedented speed, and the golden-green life light and the ice-blue and Red Dragon Breath fluctuated violently, desperately resisting the terrifying pressure originating from the level of bloodline and soul.
The purplish-black Rakshasa Divine Mark shone even brighter, exuding an untamed and destructive aura, subtly resisting the oppressive power of the Ferocious Beast.
Lin Xia's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat poured down her face.
He knew that the biggest secret had finally been ruthlessly revealed, just the tip of the iceberg, in front of the terrifying existence of Di Tian!
He looked up, gazing into Di Tian's vertical, molten gold pupils that seemed to see into the past and future, into the complex gazes of the surrounding Ferocious Beast filled with surprise, hostility, greed, and inquiry, and into the unwavering aura of Bibi Dong beside him, who, though horrified, still instinctively shielded him behind her...
Silence, under immense pressure, lasted for several breaths.
Finally, Lin Xia took a deep breath, the sound of which was exceptionally clear in the deathly silence.
The panic and struggle in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a resolute determination.
He understood that at this moment, faced with pollution that threatened the very survival of the continent, and with the Beast God who knew some of his secrets, concealment was pointless. Only honesty could secure a sliver of hope and the possibility of cooperation.
He met Di Tian's gaze and nodded slowly and with great difficulty. His voice was hoarse from the immense pressure, yet it carried an undeniable certainty.
"Yes... Your Excellency Di Tian."
Lin Xia's voice had the clear, youthful quality of a boy, yet it was remarkably calm.
"You're right. There is indeed the primal aura of the dragon race, with ice and fire attributes, within me and within Ivysaur."
Upon hearing this, even Bi Ji couldn't help but gasp. Zi JI's dark purple dragon eyes shone even brighter, and the Ten Thousand Demon King's demonic eyes stopped flickering, Lock-On intently on Lin Xia.
"Their origins."
Lin Xia paused, organizing her thoughts, and decided to tell the whole story.
"It is not plunder, nor is it blasphemy, but... recognition."
"Approval?"
Di Tian frowned deeply. It seemed so unbelievable that such a word came from a human's mouth, especially when it concerned the origin of the supreme king of the dragon race.
"Yes."
Lin Xia nodded vigorously and clearly stated the crucial location.
"It's at the bottom of the 'Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well' spring."
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Di Tian repeated in a low voice, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, clearly he didn't know where he was.
"Yes."
Lin Xia continued.
"By chance, I ventured deep into the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a spring where ice and fire converge at their extreme. There, I did not find the Dragon King's remains, but instead encountered... their remaining will and primal imprint."
Lin Xia recalled that thrilling experience with a hint of awe in her voice.
"The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two great beings, even after ten thousand years of decline, their will remains as unyielding as an ancient glacier and as fierce as Lie Yan that burn across the eight wastelands. Their powers clashed and merged at the bottom of the spring, forming that unique source of the world's primordial energy."
"My Martial Soul Ivysaur, seemed to become a bridge of communication at that moment due to its unique Plant Affinity and life essence."
"Their lingering will scrutinized me, their gaze... a mixture of coldness and heat, as if capable of freezing the soul, yet also as if capable of burning away all illusion."
"They sensed the potential contained within Ivysaur, and a strange resonance deep within my own soul. They weren't searching for a successor, but rather... in the long silence, they encountered a 'possibility' that could bear their last pride and resentment."
Lin Xia's tone carried an indescribable solemnity. "In the end, they chose to acknowledge it."
It wasn't a complete inheritance, but rather each of them actively integrated a wisp of their purest primal essence—containing fragments of their 'status' as dragon kings and the rules of their Ultimate Attribute —into the core of my and Ivysaur's Life Core and their Martial Soul.
This is a gift, and also... a testament.
He spread his hands out, and his palms seemed to still feel the scorching heat and icy cold of the fusion of ice and fire.
"That's why I possess the aura of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings that you sensed within me. These are not externally imposed imprints, but rather fragments of the dragon race's original essence that have been accepted and allowed to exist."
As Lin Xia finished speaking, the entire space fell into an even deeper silence.
The only sounds were the occasional crackling of the Courtney and the restless activity of the Pollution Source, Sheer Force suppressed by the aura of Ferocious Beast, emanating from the direction of the Black Swamp Forest in the distance.
Di Tian's tall body seemed to freeze, and his golden vertical pupils surged with towering waves!
Shock, disbelief, and a complex mix of emotions collided violently within it.
Has it been recognized?
A human being!
Such a young human Soul Master!
He actually gained the approval of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King —two supreme beings whose status and strength were on par with their the Master, the Silver Dragon King, during the glorious era of the dragon race?
This is simply unbelievable!
The pride of the dragon race is a law etched deep within their bloodline!
Especially for a pure-blooded true dragon king like the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, who stands at the top of the pyramid, their power and pride are not to be desecrated, and they would not easily bestow them, let alone bestow them upon a human!
However...
Di Tian's insightful gaze swept over Lin Xia and Ivysaur once more.
That aura... that chilling breath that Ice Seal everything, that scorching dragon might that burns the void, though still very weak, that purity and nobility originating from the source of bloodline, that "status" belonging to the dragon king, is absolutely genuine!
This cannot be obtained through hunting, devouring, or other evil means.
That aura was perfectly integrated with the boy and his Martial Soul, as if they were born together. This was clear proof that he had been accepted and merged with the origin!
As Lin Xia said, if the Dragon King hadn't given them his approval, their remaining primordial will would rather have completely dissipated into the world than have it reside in a human body!
Ice and Fire Dragon Kings...
That's an existence on par with my the Master, the Silver Dragon King!
Their approval carries such weight that it could shake the very foundations of the remaining dragon race!
The turmoil in Di Tian's heart could not be calmed for Jiujiu. He looked at Lin Xia's face, which still had a childishness but was full of determination, and an extremely important thought Slash the fog like lightning!
No!
This is a huge deal!
This is no longer just a matter of Star Dou pollution!
This involves the legacy of the supreme king of the dragon race, and it involves our the Master!
He had to take the boy to see someone immediately!
Di Tian suddenly took a step forward, and the terrifying dragon might that had been restrained was inadvertently revealed once again, making Lin Xia and Bibi Dong feel their breath catch in their throats.
"Child!"
Di Tian's voice was more urgent than ever before, carrying an unquestionable tone of command.
"Come with me!"
