Deep within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a hundred-zhang Ice Dragon kept diving downward.

The deeper it went, the larger the space below became, and the darker it grew.

Though the powers of ice and fire remained separated, the deeper one went, the more terrifying the power they contained became.

Even a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo would only explode and die without a physique immune to both ice and fire.

Yet Beiming Lieyang felt nothing at all.

Upon reaching the bottom, he found two enormous skeletons coiled within the darkness.

The remains of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King—one condensed with extreme cold, the other suffused with scorching heat.

He swam between the two skeletons and quickly found his target.

The Ice Dragon King Left Arm Bone and Fire Dragon King Right Arm Bone.

One was as cold as an ice crystal, piercing to the bone; the other burned like blazing lava.

These two Spirit Bones came from the Dragon God's descendants. Having existed for tens of millions of years, they could no longer be measured by age alone and could only be called God King–level Spirit Bones.

He returned to human form and sat cross-legged between the two dragon skeletons, beginning the refinement process. His two Martial Souls appeared at once.

Void Mysterious Ice floated to his left, while the phantom of Solar Star God Apollo stood to his right, echoing the power of the spring water from afar.

Just as he began refining them, two residual souls, shrunk countless times over, slowly emerged.

The residual souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

"Ultimate Ice, ultimate light, ultimate fire... Interesting." The Ice Dragon King's voice was low and distant.

"By human bone age, this child is only six, isn't he? Yet he's already level fifty-six. His Spirit Ring configuration is exceptionally unusual too. His talent truly is terrifying."

The Fire Dragon King took over, a trace of scrutiny in his tone.

"He has a close relationship with that Child of Nature, the Ice Snow Spirit, as well as that other Soul Beast."

The two residual souls exchanged a glance, then looked once more at Beiming Lieyang as he refined the bones. They promptly hid themselves, as though they had never appeared.

The refinement continued.

The two arm bones were drawn toward his left and right arms respectively, and his aura rose steadily.

Fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty.

But because he had not obtained a Spirit Ring, his level remained stuck at sixty.

The divine power flowing through the God King–level Spirit Bones could not continue raising his level, so it instead began tempering his physique and soul.

Only after an entire day and night had passed.

Did Beiming Lieyang finally awaken.

He looked at the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Spirit Bones fused into his arms.

Even though he had only just begun refining them, the two Spirit Bones had already granted him four abilities each.

Abilities granted by the Ice Dragon King Left Arm Bone:

Ice Dragon King Claw:

His left arm condensed the claw of an Ice Dragon King phantom, tearing through space and ignoring defenses. It was similar to Di Tian's Dragon God Claw, but even more terrifying.

It came with frostbite, slowing the enemy's movements. Within ice- or snow-type domains or barriers, its power doubled.

Ice Dragon King Roar:

It released an Ice Dragon King phantom that let out a roar, intimidating enemies and plunging them into a frozen state.

At the same time, it infused Beiming Lieyang's own aura and pressure with dragon might, suppressing the enemy's strength and reducing part of their maximum Soul Power.

Furthermore, the power of ice-attribute Soul Power and Spirit Abilities used by himself and his allies doubled.

Ice Annihilation:

It condensed the Ice Dragon King's origin power and fired an extremely cold beam with tremendous offensive force, freezing everything and permanently reducing part of the enemy's overall attributes.

Absolute Zero Void Freezing:

It froze time and space within its range at absolute zero.

The first three abilities of the Fire Dragon King Right Arm Bone corresponded to those of the Ice Dragon King bone. Only the attribute had changed from ice to fire, while freezing and slowing had become burning true damage.

Moreover, all of these Spirit Abilities were at the level of divine skills.

The stronger the Soul Power fed into them, the stronger their effects became.

Only the duration and power of freezing and burning varied according to the gap in strength between the two sides.

The fourth Spirit Ability granted by the Fire Dragon King Spirit Bone was different.

It was an ability Beiming Lieyang knew extremely well.

Solar Storm Sword:

It invoked the Solar Storm magnetic field, distorting space and suppressing targets within its range so they could not use spatial abilities.

It unleashed rapid consecutive slashes from different directions at extreme speed, accompanied by the burning of Sun True Fire. The final strike pierced through everything, ignored all defenses, and triggered an eruption of Sun True Fire.

The stronger the user, the more terrifying the damage from the Sun True Fire eruption became.

Beiming Lieyang had not expected to obtain Absolute Zero directly, along with Solar Storm Sword.

This was Flame Star God Gaia's ultimate move, famous for its high-speed consecutive slashes. In terms of attack power, it even surpassed Coronal Light.

The first time it was used, it beat Salong—who had already unsealed the Star of the Galaxy and absorbed part of its power—until electricity leaked straight out of him.

Later, it even instantly killed the Evil Star God Carlos.

Its power could contend with Black Universe, Salong's strongest move after obtaining the Star of the Galaxy, and surpassed the Dark Universe Salong commonly used.

But that made sense.

Spirit Abilities naturally changed according to the characteristics of one's Martial Soul, Spirit Rings, Spirit Bones, and their compatibility.

Flame Star God Gaia had been created when Gaia fused with Solar Star God Apollo's energy core and the Eternal Fire sent into the Silver Core Space.

With the power of the Creator God Odin, Gaia's body completely fused with Apollo and the energy core, ultimately reviving.

And gaining an entirely new ultimate move—Solar Storm Sword.

So, Flame Gaia, let your boss show off your move!

Beiming Lieyang sighed at how enormous his gains had been this time.

And these two God King–level Spirit Bones had only been initially refined. As he refined them more deeply later on,

They would surely bring him more feedback and Spirit Abilities, along with an endless supply of ice and fire power to continuously strengthen his body.

They truly deserved to be called God King–level Spirit Bones.

After savoring the feeling for a while, he was about to transform into a hundred-zhang Ice Dragon and leave.

When a radiance woven from icy blue and crimson suddenly lit up before him.

Two fist-sized spherical objects slowly appeared, one blue and one red, floating before him.

Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Dragon Core.

Seeing that Beiming Lieyang did not immediately accept them, the two Dragon Cores drifted toward the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Spirit Bones on their own and entered them.

He examined himself internally and discovered that a small space had formed inside the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Spirit Bones, specifically to house the two Dragon Cores.

He turned back toward the two enormous skeletons deep within the spring, returned to human form, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your gifts, Seniors."

After expressing his thanks, he turned and departed.

The instant he left, the residual souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings appeared once more.

They looked at each other, then dissipated into the darkness.

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress looked calm on the surface, but their hearts had long been filled with anxiety.

After all, Beiming Lieyang had been down there for an entire day and night.

Then, with a splash,

A hundred-zhang Ice Dragon surged out of the water and transformed into human form before them.

"You're finally out."

The Ice Empress and Snow Empress hurried over.

"Mother Xue, Auntie Bing, I succeeded."

"It's good that you're back." Snow Empress raised a hand and touched Beiming Lieyang's cheek, the worry on her face finally easing.

"Where are the Spirit Bones? Where are they? Let me see!" The Ice Empress hurriedly leaned in.

Beiming Lieyang activated his Soul Power. Five Spirit Rings pulsed above and below him, and his True Form Armor appeared.

Icy blue dragon-scale armor wrapped around his left arm. The phantom of an Ice Dragon King Claw flickered over the back of his hand, cold air spilling out.

Red-gold dragon-scale armor covered his right arm like flowing magma. The phantom of a Fire Dragon King Claw churned over the back of his hand, heat waves rising and slightly distorting space.

An icy blue snowflake pattern appeared between his brows, like a divine eye.

The Ice Empress reached out and touched the section of Ice Dragon King armor on his left arm. Feeling the terrifying cold aura emanating from it, her expression changed slightly.

"This is the Spirit Bone you obtained?"

That aura gave her an inexplicable sense of reverence, as though two incomparably enormous and terrifying divine dragons were staring at her.

Beside her, Dugu Bo's pupils abruptly contracted. The Martial Soul within his body trembled faintly, as though it were facing an existence on a higher level.

A stormy sea churned within his heart.

There were actually Spirit Bones hidden beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and such powerful ice-and-fire Spirit Bones at that?

How many years old were these Spirit Bones?

For them to possess such terrifying auras.

"What terrifying ice and fire auras. They truly are worthy of God King–level Spirit Bones."

Snow Empress sighed in amazement as well. She could feel the power contained within them, and even she faintly felt threatened.

Dugu Bo was shaken beyond measure.

God King... What was that?

A god?

The king among gods?

Legends of gods had always existed on Douluo Continent. The clearest one was the Angel God of Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago.

He had never imagined that beneath the treasured land he had guarded for so long, such things were buried.

But even if he knew that such terrifying treasures lay below.

He had no way of going down there.

The extreme powers within the Ice and Fire Spring Water were terrifying beyond measure.

Even if he went down now, he would explode and die.

"Good grief, this is really ridiculous."

The more the Ice Empress touched it, the more comfortable she felt. Some power radiating from it felt close to her, and she vaguely felt that even approaching the Spirit Bone could improve her cultivation.

"Mother Xue, Auntie Bing, I'm level sixty now. We can start preparing for my Sixth Spirit Ring."

"You really are fast. You reached level sixty in less than two months. Is there anyone in the world who levels up faster than you?" The Ice Empress clicked her tongue in amazement, eager to get moving as she hurriedly pushed Beiming Lieyang along.

"Come on, come on, let's see what kind of Spirit Ring we can get for you."

"Wait."

The Ice Empress and Beiming Lieyang both looked toward Snow Empress.

"Xiaoyang, you're only six, and you reached level sixty in less than two months."

Snow Empress gently stroked his cheek, her gaze soft. "There's no need to rush so much. Rest for a few days first. It won't be too late to obtain your Sixth Spirit Ring afterward."

She always felt that this child was rushing far too hard, as though he had been chasing after something all this time.

But when she thought of how he had once said, "I want to protect Mother Xue and Auntie Bing," her heart could not help warming.

She was already deeply comforted that he had such feelings.

It was simply that this child was advancing too quickly.

Dugu Bo stood to the side, completely dumbfounded. His mouth hung open for a long while before he finally forced out a sentence.

"...Six years old? Less than two months... level sixty? Are you kidding me?!"
