Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King

"Qiu'er, did you forget about my Nihility Devouring Flame?" Lin Xuan smiled faintly, then raised his right hand.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a jet-black flame rose from Lin Xuan's palm. As the black fire writhed, it transformed into a vicious, terrifying human face.

"Qiu'er, did you forget this?" Lin Xuan said with a smile, waving the Nihility Devouring Flame in his palm at Wang Qiu'er.

"But..."

"Alright, no buts. Don't you trust your husband?" Lin Xuan leaned close to Wang Qiu'er's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "When I come back, I'll definitely make it up to you properly. Just like last time in that inn room—I'll make you too weak to even stand."

"Mmph... Husband... you're so bad!" Wang Qiu'er's pretty face instantly flushed red at Lin Xuan's teasing, and she glared at him in embarrassed annoyance.

"Hehe, it's settled. Once I'm back, you won't be able to run away! I'm going to bully you properly then!" Lin Xuan said viciously to Wang Qiu'er.

"Then... then I'll wait for you to come back and bully me..." Wang Qiu'er mumbled before giving Lin Xuan another kiss on the lips.

"Hehe, good." Lin Xuan nodded with a wicked grin, then turned to the Ice Empress and Snow Empress. "Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er, I'll head down first."

With that, Lin Xuan stomped heavily on the ground and instantly leaped toward the spring of the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

"Splash!"

Then, with a crisp splash, Lin Xuan's entire body vanished into the waters of the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

The instant he entered the water, sensations of extreme heat and extreme cold surged toward him, seeming as though they wanted to tear his body apart.

However, Lin Xuan reacted swiftly and hurriedly used the Nihility Devouring Flame to shield his entire body, preventing the extreme heat and cold from affecting him.

Although he had wrapped himself in the Nihility Devouring Flame, it came with a side effect.

The already dim surroundings became even darker. Any trace of light was instantly devoured by the Nihility Devouring Flame around him, leaving him unable to see anything.

There was nothing strange about that. The Nihility Devouring Flame itself devoured all light, and beneath the flames' cover, the area around him was pitch-black, without even the faintest glimmer.

Although the surroundings had become completely dark, Lin Xuan could still use his spiritual power. His spiritual power had reached the level of a Titled Douluo, so probing the terrain below and around him was as easy as turning his hand.

In an instant, vast spiritual power surged from Lin Xuan's forehead like a tidal wave, spreading in all directions as it continuously scanned the dark waters.

Within his mind, everything around him appeared in perfect detail, even clearer than if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Lin Xuan then continued swimming downward, delving ever deeper.

The farther down he went, the more an aura carrying both scorching heat and bone-chilling cold rushed toward him.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's spiritual power was directly bounced back from a point one thousand meters below.

"There's something there? My spiritual power was actually reflected back?" Feeling his suddenly rebounding spiritual power, Lin Xuan froze slightly. But he quickly recovered and shot toward the direction below that had repelled it.

Before long, Lin Xuan arrived at the spot where his spiritual power had been reflected.

"Oh? There's actually a barrier?" Lin Xuan reached a hand forward and was indeed surprised to find a barrier there, muttering to himself.

"Who cares? If there's a barrier, then I'll split it open!" Lin Xuan snorted disdainfully and retreated several dozen steps.

"Starshatter Blade!"

Lin Xuan's purple-black eyes narrowed as he shouted, his hand suddenly clenching.

In an instant, black mist poured from Lin Xuan's palm, then began churning violently as powerful Soul Power surged from within his body.

In only a few blinks, the roiling black mist in Lin Xuan's palm continuously writhed and compressed before finally transforming into a jet-black longsaber.

"Starshatter Slash!"

Gripping the Starshatter Blade, Lin Xuan raised the saber aimed at the invisible barrier before him high overhead, then brought it down without hesitation.

In an instant, countless stars emerged behind him within the darkness surrounding Lin Xuan. They transformed into streams of light that madly flooded into the Starshatter Blade, making the cold gleam on its edge increasingly terrifying.

"Cleave!"

Lin Xuan suddenly let out a fierce shout.

Immediately afterward, an enormous black blade light hundreds of meters long, radiating intense Soul Power fluctuations, shot from the Starshatter Blade in Lin Xuan's hand and streaked toward the invisible barrier before him.

"Crack!"

The instant that overwhelmingly powerful black blade light slammed into the barrier, the seemingly indestructible barrier cracked like a fragile eggshell, spiderweb fissures spreading from the point of impact. With a crisp sound, it shattered completely.

Yet at the instant the barrier broke, an incomparably terrifying recoil force swept outward like a tsunami.

Lin Xuan only felt the force of the recoil bore through the Starshatter Blade in his hand and enter his body. He slid backward more than ten steps before stabilizing himself.

"What a powerful recoil force." Lin Xuan steadied his somewhat disordered breathing and raised his eyes toward where the invisible barrier had been.

After the barrier shattered, a vortex appeared. Within it, two enormous beings emerged from the lakebed.

When Lin Xuan clearly saw the scene below, his purple-black eyes suddenly contracted, and joy slowly welled up from his heart.

Below, two enormous skeletons beyond description lay quietly dormant.

One was a gigantic beast entirely covered in azure ice-crystal scales. The aura it emitted caused the surrounding air to freeze into frost, and it was the Ice Dragon King, the embodiment of Ultimate Ice.

The other was covered in crimson-gold magma patterns. Even with its wings folded, wisps of flame continued to escape from it. It was the Fire Dragon King, the embodiment of Ultimate Fire.

"Hehehe! They really are the skeletons of the Icefire Dragon Kings! The system truly didn't deceive me!" Lin Xuan grinned and waved his hand, dispersing the Starshatter Blade he had just formed.

"System, do the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King below still exist?" However, Lin Xuan quickly suppressed the joy in his heart and questioned the system in his mind.

After all, if the remnant souls of those two were still around, charging down there now would make him no different from a target, and the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had been First-Level Gods in life.
