• Dugu Chen stabilized the soul core, but it consumed nearly ninety percent of his soul power and continued draining him despite his attempts to stop it.

Dugu Chen’s body neared destruction as he forced the Soul Core’s golden funnel to keep absorbing energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King awakened, saved him, and recognized his pure Light and Dark Dragon bloodlines, though they disagreed over whether he belonged to the dragon race.
