Retrieving the Ice and Fire Dragon King Bones

Lazy pig, we're arrived.

Inside the carriage, Snow Emperor was gently massaging Beiming Lieyang's head as he rested with his head on her lap.

Ice Emperor leaned in from the other side with a mischievous smirk playing on the corners of her lips, reaching out to twist a strand of emerald-green hair and lightly brush it across the tip of his nose.

Binger, stop disturbing Xiaoyang's rest. Snow Emperor raised a hand to block her, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

Xuer, you're getting more and more biased. Ice Emperor gave a soft huff.

You used to tease me just like this in the past.

Ahem...

Ice Emperor cleared her throat, turned toward the window, and changed the subject.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has arrived, so he should get up now.

Beiming Lieyang's ears twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes to the sight of snowy mountains.

Immediately following was Snow Emperor's cold yet exquisitely beautiful face, looking down at him with a gaze as soft as unmelting moonlight.

He instinctively rubbed a bit further into her soft lower abdomen before reluctantly sitting up.

Little bad guy, slept well, did you? Ice Emperor immediately leaned closer, right up to his face.

Little aunt, why don't you act as my body pillow next time? Beiming Lieyang said casually.

What?! How audacious, how dare you treat your little aunt as a body pillow?

Ice Emperor deliberately put on a stern face, her eyebrows nearly standing on end.

Without a second word, Beiming Lieyang casually pulled her into his arms, encircling her like a doll:

Heh heh, little aunt, did you forget? A few years ago, you used me as a body pillow every single day, and as a head pillow, and sometimes even as a backrest—I'm just learning by example.

Ice Emperor's face flared red, and she turned her head away, lifting her chin slightly to strike an I refuse to acknowledge this pose.

I don't remember. She said righteously.

Didn't you say you were going to get something? Go on, hurry up.

Alright, getting the spirit bone is more important after all. Beiming Lieyang let go of her and straightened his collar.

A God King-grade spirit bone... Ice Emperor's eyes lit up.

Snow Emperor also showed a rare look of anticipation.

Through Beiming Lieyang, they had already understood the rank classification of the God Realm.

God Officials, Third-Class Gods, Second-Class Gods, First-Class Gods, God Kings, and even the Supreme Dragon God.

They also finally understood why soul beasts had to endure a heavenly tribulation every hundred thousand years.

The root of that catastrophe could all be traced back to the Dragon God.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, bring it up and let your little aunt open her eyes! Ice Emperor urged as she jumped down from the carriage.

Beiming Lieyang smiled and nodded, leading the Ice and Snow Emperors toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo was quite dutiful and responsible, stationed steadfastly on the outer perimeter of the poisonous miasma.

Sensing someone intruding, he first let out a sharp cry: Who goes there? How dare you trespass into my lord's forbidden area.

However, upon seeing clearly who it was, he hurriedly flashed over and bowed respectfully: Greetings, Lord. Greetings, two ladies.

Senior Dugu, you've worked hard. Beiming Lieyang smiled and nodded.

Entrusted by the Lord, this subordinate dares not slack off. Dugu Bo straightened up, a hint of solemnity in his gaze,

The Lord bestowed upon me the detoxification method for my lineage, and further helped my martial soul evolve. Such immense grace is engraved deeply in my bones, how could this subordinate not do his utmost?

He paused, then spoke somewhat cautiously:

It's just... Lord, you really shouldn't call me 'senior' anymore.

You broke through level fifty at such a tender age; with that kind of talent, this subordinate truly cannot bear to be called 'senior' by you.

Then what should I call you? Beiming Lieyang thought for a moment. Old Poison?

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed noticeably:

This form of address... is actually not bad. It sounds much smoother than 'senior'.

Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor nodded slightly off to the side.

This fellow knew how to read the room.

Old Poison, you've made quite a few gains these past two days, haven't you? Beiming Lieyang sensed that Dugu Bo's aura had grown a bit more solid.

Dugu Bo bowed in response: Thanks entirely to the immortal herb bestowed by the Lord, my cultivation has become much smoother after the martial soul transformation. Coupled with...

He glanced up at Snow Emperor, his tone subtle, That lesson from the Lady actually allowed me to see through some bottlenecks. It could be considered breaking and then establishing.

He never expected that taking a beating could actually push his cultivation higher.

Not bad. Beiming Lieyang nodded and casually tossed out a head-sized piece of Void Mysterious Ice.

Dugu Bo instinctively caught it, looked down, and instantly felt his scalp tingle.

This was the Lord's ice-blue martial soul!

He remembered clearly.

This thing had been soaked in the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the forces of ice and fire conflicted with one another—even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand it!

He instantly let go as if he had been scalded, and with a clatter, the ice cube dropped to the ground, rolling around a couple of times.

Yet once it landed, an inexplicable and unspeakable sense of regret welled up in Dugu Bo's heart.

It was as if he had missed out on something, or as if his mind had been hooked by something.

Old Poison, you really thought I was trying to harm you? Beiming Lieyang wore a speechless expression.

Dugu Bo snapped out of it, somewhat awkwardly picking up that piece of ice again and holding it in his hands. The touch was ice-cold, yet it made him reluctant to let go.

Break off a small piece and try it.

Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, but still snapped off a corner the size of a fingernail and put it into his mouth.

The Void Mysterious Ice melted upon contact with his tongue, and an extremely pure chill slid down his throat into his limbs and bones, followed immediately by—

His aura surged violently, and all his attributes abruptly jumped up by a massive margin!

Th-This is what?! Dugu Bo jerked his head up, his pupils contracting sharply.

Void Mysterious Ice, all attributes amplified threefold.

Threefold?! Dugu Bo's brain went buzz as it exploded.

As a Title Douluo, he was crystal clear on Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

This directly tripled things?!

He couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, staring fixedly at the piece of Void Mysterious Ice in his hand with burning eyes.

That tiny piece from just now had amplified all his attributes threefold.

And he sensed that it could still last for a period of time.

Such a large piece...

Wait... Lord... is this your martial soul?

Mn.

Dugu Bo drew in a sharp breath.

Wouldn't that mean the Lord had a continuous, endless supply of Void Mysterious Ice?!

He truly hadn't expected it.

The Lord turned out to be a terrifying auxiliary spirit master!

If Ning Fengzhi found out about this, he would simply be green with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Even if he tried to suck up to him, this Void Mysterious Ice was something he could never hope to match.

Alright, I'm heading down below the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo hurriedly stepped aside to make way, a surge of eager warmth entering the gaze he directed at Beiming Lieyang.

Arriving at the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Beiming Lieyang looked down at the pool of interwoven crimson and ice-blue spring water.

Two completely opposing forces collided silently, and the air was thick with a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

How deep is it down there? Where is that spirit bone?

Ice Emperor asked curiously.

Ten thousand zhang down.

!!

Won't the pressure down there be terrifying? How are you going to get down?

Both the Ice and Snow Emperors were worried.

They had thought this place was quite shallow.

Don't worry, did you forget my third spirit skill?

Thinking of Beiming Lieyang's third spirit skill, the two women immediately relaxed.

His third spirit skill, Glazed Ice and Snow Heart.

It allowed him to transform into ice and snow; as long as ice and snow did not perish, he would not perish.

As Beiming Lieyang spoke, he no longer concealed himself, instantly releasing his aura.

Fifth Turn Mid-Stage!

Five spirit rings undulated up and down his body.

Black, black, black, black, red.

The blood-crimson hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was particularly glaring in the sunlight.

Dugu Bo had just carefully put away the Void Mysterious Ice and looked up, only to catch sight of that line of spirit rings, freezing in place entirely.

Thinking he was seeing things, he rubbed his eyes hard.

That's right, four black and one red.

Four ten-thousand-year ones, one hundred-thousand-year one!

Fifty-sixth rank.

The Lord had only been at level fifty when he left.

Meaning, in the time they had been gone, they went and hunted a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?!

He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

The two ladies beside him possessed terrifying strength; he wasn't surprised that they could suppress a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Yet a fifty-sixth-rank Spirit King dared to absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring...

What kind of monstrous talent was this?!

He looked at the standard configuration of yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black on his own body, suddenly feeling that it couldn't be shown in public.

He looked up at Beiming Lieyang again, leaving only a single thought in his mind—

What kind of monstrous lord had he gone and attached himself to?

At that moment, Beiming Lieyang activated his third spirit skill—Glazed Ice and Snow Heart.

The chill surrounding his body solidified, directly transforming into a hundred-zhang-large ice dragon with translucent scales and a dragon roar that shook the heavens.

Carrying biting wind and snow, it plunged fiercely toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, diving headfirst into the misty spring water and plummeting rapidly downward.
