Pisces, Scorpio, Ultimate Metamorphosis!

"Come out, Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass."

After learning the information he needed from the Luo Sea God Dragon, Ouyang Ling had already made his decision.

"Sea God Dragon, possess me!"

Braving the bitter cold, Ouyang Ling, clad in blue dragon armor, slowly walked over to the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass.

His eyes burned brightly.

He lightly brushed the Ruyi Hundred-Treasure Pouch with his palm, and a dagger flashing with cold light appeared in his hand.

He crouched down without hesitation and swung the dagger!

The Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass fell at once beneath the flashing blade, landing among the herbs. In an instant, a chill spread out, and a thin layer of frost covered the surrounding plants before spreading farther outward.

He grabbed it and refined it at once!

The moment the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass entered his mouth, Ouyang Ling felt his entire mouth freeze solid. It should have melted upon entry and turned into saliva to flow down his throat, yet he could not feel anything at all.

So cold!

In an instant, his heart turned icy, and his central nervous system went numb.

In barely three breaths, Ouyang Ling's entire body trembled violently from the overwhelming chill contained within the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass.

Immediately afterward, an icy blue color rose directly from beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, his whole body had turned ice-blue. This color was completely different from what appeared when his martial soul possessed him.

As time passed, Ouyang Ling felt as though he were turning into an ice block from the inside out. His internal organs seemed to have frozen completely. Even the breath he exhaled turned into real frost.

"Quickly enter the Extreme-Cold Yin Spring." At that moment, the Luo Sea God Dragon's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

In order to achieve his ultimate goal, Ouyang Ling had not sealed off the Luo Sea God Dragon's ability to observe the outside world.

So, upon hearing the Luo Sea God Dragon's voice, Ouyang Ling gathered the last breath he had left while he could still move one foot and staggered forward!

"Splash—"

The next second, Ouyang Ling plunged into the spring.

In an instant, his entire body sank beneath the water.

Just before Ouyang Ling's senses and consciousness faded away, he seemed to feel that his body was no longer quite so cold. The chill within him was dissolving, and his body temperature began to rise.

At that moment, the Extreme-Cold Yin Spring surged from Ouyang Ling's fall, his body bobbing within it.

Just as he completely lost consciousness, the yellow gem at the waist of Ouyang Ling, who remained in his martial soul possession state, suddenly began to shine.

The next second, two azure vortices formed! One spun from the inside out, while the other spun from the outside in. As they overlapped, they resonated with each other.

As the vortices spun, they drew out the energy of the Extreme-Cold Yin Spring. Combined with the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass within Ouyang Ling's body, the quality of the Sea God Dragon martial soul's ice attribute rose until it matched the quality of Extreme Water.

Even then, the vortices did not stop absorbing energy. Ouyang Ling's cultivation also began rising continuously under the infusion of energy from within and without. Until the moment he broke through to level 30... "Buzz—"

Suddenly, a transparent ring slowly formed above the vortices. As time passed and energy continued pouring into it, the transparent ring began to take on a white color, then gradually shifted toward yellow and purple. In the end, it actually formed a soul ring.

For now, no one knew about any of this.

"I understand."

Inside the Crown Prince Palace, Qian Renxue's face darkened.

"He was really there alone?"

Porcupinefish Douluo lowered his head, not daring to provoke her further. He could only answer truthfully, "Dugu Bo has already returned to Heaven Dou City. I met the kid Ouyang after that. He told me to return first and pass on the message."

"I see."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly, displeasure flashing through them. "Little Ling said that place is a treasure land?"

"Yes, and an exceptionally rare one."

"Then I'll make the trip myself."

Qian Renxue could no longer restrain herself. She rose and walked outside. "I want to see just what kind of treasure land it is. If it can help my grand undertaking, it will be a great merit!"

Behind her, Porcupinefish Douluo, Ci Xue, and She Long exchanged glances, understanding flashing in their eyes. "..."

The young mistress was being hypocritical again. She was clearly worried about Ouyang Ling, yet she refused to say so outright.

At that moment, Qian Renxue's voice came from outside, carrying an unquestionable tone. "Elder Ci Xue, Elder She Long, come with me to Sunset Forest."

"Yes." ×2

"Kid, wake up! Hey—wake up..."

In his daze, Ouyang Ling's consciousness was awakened. When he fully woke up and saw clearly...

"Where is this?"

He slowly rose and looked around...

This was an unknown rift in space. The countless patterns around him resembled strings of code, but at the very top, they outlined two constellations.

"Pisces! Scorpio!"

"That's us."

When Ouyang Ling subconsciously called out the names of the two constellations, a gentle voice sounded by his ear again, making him instinctively wary.

"Who's there!?"

"Don't worry, we aren't bad people."

"Oh, right. Please look down."

Two tiny, adorable creatures, one light blue and one dark blue, stood at Ouyang Ling's feet. They were none other than the Pisces Star Dragon and Scorpio Star Dragon. However, both were only in their Baby Dragon forms rather than their Battle Dragon forms.

"Your gaze seems somewhat offensive." Scorpio Star Dragon raised his pincers, his voice carrying a hint of severity.

So Pisces Star Dragon had been the one speaking just now. Ouyang Ling thought as he crouched down.

"I'm sorry."

"Still, greetings, Senior Star Dragons."

"Hello, Ling. I am Pisces Star Dragon."

Pisces Star Dragon elbowed Scorpio Star Dragon with the fin on his arm, then extended a hand to him with a friendly smile. "Please allow us to call you that. And don't take offense—Scorpio Star Dragon has always been like this. He actually thinks quite highly of you."

Ouyang Ling smiled faintly. "Of course."

As for anything else, there was no need to mention it.

After Pisces Star Dragon persuaded him, Scorpio Star Dragon also extended his pincer toward Ouyang Ling and said solemnly, "My name is Scorpio. I am pleased to meet you."

"Likewise."

As Ouyang Ling grew familiar with the two Star Dragons, he quickly asked where this place was and why they were currently in their Baby Dragon forms instead of their Battle Dragon forms.

"That is because we do not have enough strength to revive."

Pisces Star Dragon's words were as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Although the Pillar of Goodness released part of our energy, to put it bluntly, that energy is only enough to help you complete the final Ultimate Metamorphosis."

Then Scorpio Star Dragon took over. "If you want us to evolve into Battle Dragons and fight alongside you, the Pillar of Goodness cannot accomplish that yet."

"You can fight alongside me!?" Ouyang Ling was immediately startled after hearing Scorpio Star Dragon's words!

"Indeed, we can."

Pisces Star Dragon smiled faintly. "But that is a matter for the future. What matters most right now is that you accept our power and complete your Ultimate Evolution."

Ouyang Ling forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly, "But I haven't obtained my third soul ring yet."

To his surprise, Pisces Star Dragon shook his head.

"No, you have already obtained it."

"Enough. Stop talking nonsense."

Scorpio Star Dragon, somewhat impatient, waved his twin pincers. "You'll understand everything else once you leave. Now, receive our power!"

"Ultimate Dragon King, turn the tide!"

"Stand against evil, shake the world with might!"

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"

The next second, Ouyang Ling's body transformed into the Dragon King form of Hainas. At that very moment, Pisces Star Dragon and Scorpio Star Dragon transformed into two beams of blue light and instantly entered Ouyang Ling's body.

Sacred azure radiance illuminated the entire space!

The aura of the sea surged forth in an instant!

"Senior Star Dragons, please grant me the ultimate power of goodness!"

Ultimate Metamorphosis!
