After passing through the ring.

The space, which had begun to shrink, started expanding again.

At the same time, the surrounding ice and fire energy seemed to take that ring as a boundary.

In an instant, it underwent an enormous leap.

Yu Yuan felt the balance within his body on the verge of breaking, while the resistance provided by the medicine rapidly weakened.

His body began to feel both scorching heat and freezing cold.

Strange, the medicine's effects shouldn't have worn off yet, right?

"Master, this may not be mere energy."

The Temporal Saint Dragon appeared before the descending Yu Yuan.

At the same time, he deployed the small amount of origin power he had recovered during this period to shield Yu Yuan.

"What do you mean?"

With part of the pressure diverted, Yu Yuan swiftly adjusted his internal state and asked Xiao Kong.

"The water here contains the laws controlled by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings before their deaths, along with remnants of divine power mixed within."

Xiao Kong constantly adjusted the rhythm of his origin power output.

After all, he had only recovered this little origin power. He had to find a way to hold out longer.

"So we need to find a way to rewind?"

Yu Yuan was prepared to think it over carefully.

"I'm afraid not. The origin power Little Dragon expends may not be restored through rewinding. This is likely our best opportunity."

He had already sacrificed himself, and his origin power was only slowly recovering through special means.

Moreover, he was originally a Temporal Saint Dragon, and his origin power carried the power of time and space.

Yu Yuan's rewind might not work.

"Then what are we talking for? Let's go."

The descending figure instantly accelerated.

Yu Yuan chose to forgo some minor adjustments and did his best to speed up his descent.

But unfortunately, his descent was slower than Xiao Kong's origin power consumption.

Did he have to give up this time?

But if so, he would have to rewind the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot as well.

Then he would have to let Xiao Kong accumulate origin power again.

Two years' worth of origin power wasn't enough.

That meant he might have to wait another three years or so.

Tang San should be eleven by then?

It seemed there was still time?

But he didn't know when the Sea God and Asura God would make their move.

He had to finish growing as soon as possible.

But Xiao Kong might not be able to hold on.

Watching the Temporal Saint Dragon continuously consume his origin power ahead of him.

Yu Yuan prepared to retreat.

Just then, the Golden Dragon in the summoning space voluntarily requested to appear.

"Are you planning to...?"

Yu Yuan, who had originally wanted to stop him, suddenly sensed the Golden Dragon's urging.

And so he understood the other party's resolve.

"Fine. I'll leave it to you."

As he had Xiao Kong withdraw his origin power, Yu Yuan began trying to seal the medicinal power within his body.

Then the summoning formation lit up.

The Golden Dragon's massive body appeared in the pool.

After directly wrapping his body around Yu Yuan, the Golden Dragon used his tail and wings to plunge rapidly downward.

"Grrr."

The energy in the pool water continuously breached the dragon scales' defenses and seeped into the Golden Dragon's body.

At the same time, burn marks and frost began appearing on the membranes of his wings.

Feeling the pain, the Golden Dragon continuously stimulated the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline within his body.

Light-element energy fought the invading ice and fire energy within him while continuously healing his wounds.

Unfortunately, there was no way to resist the fragmented laws and residual divine power in the pool water.

But the Golden Dragon had no intention of caring about that.

His vertical pupils remained fixed on the depths directly beneath the pool.

His body lit up as the light element within him surged.

Dragon wings and dragon tail thrashed wildly, and even his body began to spin.

A rapidly descending point of light suddenly appeared within the red-and-blue pool water.

Seismic Toss!

Splash.

The Golden Dragon's enormous body smashed directly into the bottom of the pool.

Then, no longer able to withstand the damage inflicted upon his body, he directly dissipated back into the summoning space.

Private Second Class Golden Dragon, loyal!

And the instant the Golden Dragon dissipated.

Yu Yuan immediately released his control over the medicinal power and mobilized his soul power to regulate the injuries from the impact.

At the same time, Xiao Kong reappeared and frantically burned his origin power, shouting with spiritual power.

"Uncle Ice, Uncle Fire, save me! Your nephew is about to be killed by you two!"

There was no response.

"No, Uncle Ice, Uncle Fire, don't ignore your nephew! I only ran away back then instead of fighting the Dragon God to the end. You don't have to kill me for it, right?!"

Unfortunately, there was still no response.

"Damn it, Xiao Kong, can you even do this? If not, I'm getting ready to rewind."

Yu Yuan was being tortured to the brink of ecstasy by all kinds of energy around him, while Xiao Kong wailed like a ghost in his ears.

This was simply wonderful.

"Master, don't panic. Little Dragon will try again. This shouldn't be happening. I clearly sensed that they still had consciousness."

Xiao Kong hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to go all in.

Fuck it, I'm betting on it.

"Master, please prepare to withstand the impact."

"Huh?"

Xiao Kong directly burned every bit of origin power he had accumulated and let out an unprecedented roar.

"Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, get the fuck out here and meet the new Dragon God!"

Then he weakly drifted over to Yu Yuan's side.

"Master, Little Dragon can't go on anymore."

"Fuck, don't do this. Are you sure they won't beat me to death after coming out because you shouted that?"

Yu Yuan felt the energy, now bereft of Xiao Kong's origin power barrier, grow especially violent.

At the same time, he worried that the two Dragon Kings would kill him without asking questions once they appeared.

Tsk, can't hold on much longer?

Yu Yuan mobilized his soul power, preparing to activate rewind.

Just then.

Two enormous phantoms suddenly appeared.

"Dragon God?"

"Nephew?"

Azure-blue and crimson vertical pupils simultaneously stared at Yu Yuan, who was struggling to hold on below.

"That's right, it's your little nephew. You two, quickly take back your power."

The two Dragon Kings seemed to have only just awakened, their minds not yet fully recovered.

After waiting for what felt like forever, just as Yu Yuan was nearly done for, they finally began controlling the nearby energy and emptied the surrounding pool water.

"Whew, whew, I almost died."

Yu Yuan immediately sat cross-legged and began controlling the medicinal power within his body.

He also tried to absorb the laws and divine power that had invaded his body.

Xiao Kong, meanwhile, voluntarily floated out and approached the two Dragon King phantoms with a fawning smile.

"Oh my, Uncle Ice and Uncle Fire, your magnificence remains as dazzling as ever."

"Heh, a certain dragon didn't seem to be saying that just now."

"That's right. You even told us to get out here."

It seemed Xiao Kong's final words had indeed been extremely loud.

The two Dragon Kings had heard them very clearly.

"Oh, listen to what you two uncles are saying. Your nephew has always respected you both from the bottom of his heart."

"As for that nonsense just now, wasn't it only to wake you two elders up? It was all nonsense, absolutely not to be taken seriously."

As he spoke, he even used his illusory dragon claws to slap his own mouth.

The very picture of adaptability.

"Enough fooling around. If you had truly charged in, I might have thought more highly of you."

"Mm, should I give it a try?"

The Fire Dragon King raised an illusory dragon claw.

"Don't, don't, Uncle Fire. Wasn't your nephew just trying to make you two happy?"

Among the nine Dragon Kings, the one Xiao Kong feared most was the Fire Dragon King before him.

After all, the other Dragon Kings generally would not truly strike him out of consideration for his parents.

But the Fire Dragon King really did hit him. And ever since Xiao Kong provoked the Fire Dragon King once back then.

The other party would come beat Xiao Kong up every few years. Xiao Kong's spatial abilities had been honed through fleeing.

"Enough, I was only scaring you. Where is the Dragon God?"
