Icefire Dragon Bones Transform into the Icefire Dragon Kings

After jumping into the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, Jiang Qingyu felt as though he were beneath a vast abyss. Looking down, he could not see the bottom at all.

Jiang Qingyu also began absorbing the power of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, activating his Icefire Alchemical Body.

The medicinal power of ice and fire began circulating through his body. As for these opposing forces, he wanted to fuse them together.

The Flame Phoenix Sword could draw upon the Ice Dragon King's power.

That way, he could catch his opponent off guard as well—killing two birds with one stone.

It had to be underhanded!

It would not work if it was not underhanded.

Hehehe!

As he sank to the bottom of the lake, extreme cold and scorching heat wrapped around his body at once, drilling through his pores and into his meridians.

The medicinal power of the two immortal herbs fully dissolved, converging with the natural power of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well and crashing through his body.

Jiang Qingyu focused his mind and steadied his breath, slowly guiding them along their paths. Under the lake's natural balance, the two originally opposing forces gradually intertwined and merged.

The Flame Phoenix Sword martial soul emerged on its own, floating before him. Its blade was crimson as blood, phoenix patterns slowly flowing along its spine as a clear phoenix cry resounded through his sea of consciousness.

His phoenix bloodline was stimulated once more. Fine ice-blue patterns formed along the edges of the flames, ice concealed within fire. Its power was far greater than before.

On the other side, the Ice Dragon King martial soul appeared as well.

Its dragon body swelled by a full circle, its scales crystal-clear, while its claws and horns became increasingly lifelike.

A trace of fiery vitality quietly merged into its originally pure ice attribute. The ice dragon was no longer piercingly cold, instead gaining a hint of warm, weighty majesty.

The two martial souls resonated with each other from afar, while the powers of ice and fire cycled endlessly through his body.

Jiang Qingyu could clearly feel his soul power steadily rising, the barrier to level sixty-two faintly loosening.

More importantly, he had completely found the path to merging ice and fire. In future battles, he would be more than capable of catching his opponents off guard.

In an instant, it felt as though his Ren and Du meridians had been opened. Jiang Qingyu felt utterly refreshed. Opening his eyes and seeing the changes in his martial souls, he was overjoyed.

"Wonderful!"

A rare smile appeared on Jiang Qingyu's calm face.

Before he had time to develop the traits of his martial souls, he withdrew them and continued swimming downward.

Since he had come all this way, he could not miss the treasure of the Icefire Dragon Bones. He wrapped his body in soul power to withstand the pressure at the bottom of the lake.

As he gradually descended to the lakebed, two dragon skeletons spanning ten thousand meters came into view, making Jiang Qingyu's eyes light up.

If he could absorb them, would his strength not soar by a huge margin?

Just as he approached the dragon skeletons and prepared to search through them, the previously still remains suddenly burst with light, blasting Jiang Qingyu away.

Jiang Qingyu was knocked back several yards by the light. Before he could stabilize himself, two enormous dragon tails struck from either side, binding his limbs tightly like iron chains.

He urged his soul power in an attempt to break free, but the dragon tails only tightened further, their strength far surpassing that of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

"You little girl have quite the nerve, daring to covet our bones."

A cold voice came from ahead.

Jiang Qingyu looked up and saw two figures standing atop the dragon skeletons.

The woman on the left wore a long blue dress, her watery-blue hair cascading down like an icy waterfall.

The woman on the right wore a blazing red gown, her fiery red hair spilling wildly around her shoulders, her aura scorching and oppressive.

Both were cold and noble in appearance, their brows carrying the innate pride of the dragon race.

Jiang Qingyu's mouth twitched. They had mistaken his gender again.

He said in a low voice, "I am a man."

The two women of ice and fire exchanged a glance, surprise flashing through both their eyes.

Upon closer inspection, although Jiang Qingyu's features were exquisite and his frame slender, his voice and jawline were indeed masculine.

"A man?" The ice-attributed woman raised a brow. "How did you find this place, and why did you venture so deep into the lake?"

The fire-attributed woman was more impatient, her dragon tail tightening slightly. "Speak! Were you after the dragon bones?"

Feeling the restraints around his body, Jiang Qingyu replied without panic:

"I possess twin martial souls, one of fire and one of ice. I came to cultivate in the Icefire Yin-Yang Well and sensed the aura of dragons beneath the lake, so I came to investigate. I have no intention of taking anything."

He could sense that these two figures were formed from remnant souls. Their auras far surpassed those of Titled Douluo; if he fought them head-on, he had no chance of winning.

Weren't these the lingering remnant souls within the dragon skeletons?

They had been dead for so long. They should have gone off to reincarnate already, so why were they still here?

Damn it, I got played.

The ice woman sensed the mingled power of ice and fire within his body, and her expression eased slightly.

The fire woman curled her lips.

"You're prettier than a woman, yet you're a boy. The fact that you made it here means you have some fortune."

Her dragon tail loosened slightly, but did not release him entirely. Clearly, she still remained wary of him.

"Who are you?"

"Us?" The Ice Dragon King snorted. "I am the Ice Dragon King, one of the nine great Dragon Kings of the Divine Realm. This one is the Fire Dragon King, who stood alongside me."

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King released their dragon tails.

Jiang Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands.

"Greetings, Your Majesties. I am Jiang Qingyu. Please forgive my presumptuous intrusion. I will leave this place at once."

Though he coveted the dragon bones, he had to stay alive first. Before the two could turn hostile, he needed to make a quick escape.

Just as he was about to slip away, the Ice Dragon King's dragon tail suddenly dragged him back down.

Landing on his backside, Jiang Qingyu rubbed it and said:

"Senior Dragon King, what is the meaning of this?"

The Ice Dragon King stepped forward, the dragon shadow behind her rising and falling. She gently lifted Jiang Qingyu's chin with a finger.

"There is a familiar aura on you, one that I like very much. Unleash that power!"

She had sensed that familiar aura from the very beginning.

Jiang Qingyu understood what she meant and immediately released his Ice Dragon King martial soul.

After the Ice Dragon King martial soul appeared, the Ice Dragon King looked at its phantom.

"I never expected you to possess the Ice Dragon King martial soul. Interesting. Since you are fated with me, I will not make things difficult for you."

Though she did not know why a human possessed the Ice Dragon King martial soul, having it meant he was fated with her. And the fact that he had reached this place showed that their fate was no shallow one.

Whew~

That was close!

Jiang Qingyu let out a long breath.

"Jiang Qingyu, right?" The Ice Dragon King smiled. "If you were in the Divine Realm, I would definitely drag you into my bedchamber and let a fairy like you, descended from the nine heavens, properly experience the feeling of falling into depravity."

Jiang Qingyu remained expressionless, but his heart still stirred slightly. Dragons were indeed lustful by nature; that saying was no lie.

"Mm, you want the two dragon bones. I can give them to you, but you must pay a price!"

The Ice Dragon King smiled.

"May I ask what price Senior Dragon King has in mind?"

The Ice Dragon King placed her hands on her hips, her dragon tail wagging wildly.

"Naturally, you will help the Fire Dragon King and me reconstruct our physical bodies. We will remain in your sea of consciousness and leave this place."

Jiang Qingyu said flatly:

"You won't do anything bad, will you?"

The Ice Dragon King smiled.

"Do anything bad? You're overthinking it. We still need you to reconstruct our bodies. If we really wanted to do anything bad, we would have done it long ago."

Caution was good, and besides, both sides had a relationship of mutual benefit.

Jiang Qingyu remained full of caution. "Fine, but can there be some guarantee?"

"A guarantee?" The Ice Dragon King frowned.

The Fire Dragon King said frankly:

"Sign a contract. We can sign a peace contract to ensure that both sides coexist peacefully."
