A Hundred-Thousand-Foot Abyss Beneath the Ice and Fire Springs, an Ancient Divine Hoard Revealed!
The water waves, several meters high, burst outwards and crashed heavily against the rock walls on both sides of the mountain valley.
Having just changed into a dark green robe, Dugu Bo wiped the moisture from his face and stared in astonishment at the hot spring bubbling with brilliant, rosy light.
At this moment, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was no longer the calm scene with its distinct red and white colors. The entire pool of spring water was as if it were being frantically stirred by two invisible hands, forming a bottomless nine-colored vortex at the center. Even the spiritual energy permeating the air became viscous and heavy.
"What on earth is lurking beneath this spring?!"
Dugu Bo swallowed hard, his heart pounding. He had lived on this mountain for twenty years and always thought that the spring was simply formed by the confluence of two extremely cold and extremely hot underground rivers.
But the desolate aura emanating from the deepest part of the spring made his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul tremble, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at the vortex of the spring!
But remembering Su Chen's strict order, Dugu Bo dared not be negligent in the slightest. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and leaped onto the cliff at the only entrance to the mountain pass. His nine Soul Ring lit up and surveyed the surrounding mountains and forests.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well a hundred feet below the water.
Glug... Glug...
The deeper you dive, the dimmer the surrounding light becomes, with only the iridescent light refracted from above and the faint glow of the Dual Extremes Spring Water itself intertwining and shimmering.
If the power of heat and cold at a depth of ten feet is enough to melt ten thousand pounds of refined iron, then at depths of one hundred feet, five hundred feet, or even one thousand feet, the spring water here is no longer an ordinary liquid, but a terrifying flow of liquid formed from the purest and most extreme Taiyin Cold Marrow and Solar True Fire!
The surrounding water pressure was as heavy as a mountain, and every inch of the flowing spring water carried fragments of laws powerful enough to easily tear apart the protective aura of a level 95 Super Douluo.
If it were Su Chen, who had not yet mastered the Golden Body half an hour ago, even with the bloodline of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, he would have been crushed to the point of having his bones shattered and blood seeping from his seven orifices if he had forcibly ventured into this depth.
But at this moment, a layer of warm and dazzling crimson-gold light flowed across his body, and the Taiyin Mystic Ice Divine Pattern on his left half and the Solar True Fire Dao Mark on his right half complemented each other, treating the chaotic flow of laws as nothing!
The Ice-Fire Dark-Gold Dragon Emperor Spear behind him was like eight sharp oars. With each powerful stroke, it tore a channel through the viscous, mercury-like Dual Extremes Spring Water, and he transformed into a streak of crimson gold light, plummeting rapidly into the abyss.
Three thousand zhang... five thousand zhang... eight thousand zhang!
As the diving depth broke through the 8,000-zhang mark, the originally narrow spring passage suddenly opened up below, transforming into a vast and boundless underground abyss!
Buzz!! The Purple-Gold Double Pupils in Su Chen's eyes shone brightly, instantly illuminating the bottom of the eternally dark spring.
What unfolded before him was a breathtakingly stunning ancient spectacle.
In the very center of this underground abyss, two enormous dragon skeletons lie silently on the bedrock at the bottom of the spring, their heads and tails intertwined and embracing each other!
The dragon skeleton on the left has a body that is thousands of feet long and winding, and every dragon bone is a deep and transparent blue ice crystal color.
Even though its flesh and blood had long since melted away over countless years, the ferocious ice crystal dragon horns still exuded an extreme chill that could freeze the stars in the heavens. The extremely Extreme Cold Yin Spring in the left half of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was continuously gushing out from the heart of this ice-blue dragon skeleton!
The dragon skeleton on the right was also a thousand feet long, its bones as red as burnt Divine-Blood Agate, with intricate and mysterious flame patterns naturally imprinted on the surface of its joints.
The ceaseless, Earth's Core Divine Fire roared and flowed along its hollow spine, transforming into the source of the blazing Yang Spring in the right half of the pool!
They are the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two of the Nine Great Dragon Kings under the command of the Dragon God of the ancient Divine Realm!
During the great war in the Divine Realm, the Dragon God perished, and the Nine Great Dragon Kings were subsequently besieged and severely injured by the gods of the Divine Realm.
These two First-Level God dragon kings, who held the ultimate power over ice and fire, ultimately fell to the Douluo Continent, their remains buried there, evolving over countless ages into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well of today!
In the original story, Tang San guarded this precious spring and went in and out countless times, but because of his weak human bloodline and the aura of the Sea God and the Asura God that he later inherited, he was not even qualified to dive thousands of feet below. Even after ascending to the Divine Realm, he still could not discover the two true supreme divine treasures beneath his feet.
"That blind man Tang San lost the big picture for a small gain. The true wealth left behind by those two ancient dragon kings should rightfully belong to me Su Chen!"
Su Chen's heart burned with excitement, and his speed increased instead of decreasing, directly breaking through the last layer of the Nine-Colored Divine Radiance Barrier and landing steadily on top of the dragon heads of the two thousand-foot-long dragon skeletons!
The moment Su Chen stepped onto the dragon bones, the entire abyss shook violently, and the two enormous dragon bones that had been dormant for countless millennia emitted a deafening hum at the same time!
Within the eye sockets of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's enormous skulls, which were tens of feet high, the previously faintly flickering divine fire suddenly surged!
A cluster of remnants of divine consciousness, as blue as a frozen abyss and as red as a blazing sun, instantly shot into the sky from the depths of the marrow of the two dragon heads, transforming in mid-air into two illusory images of ice dragon and Dragon God, each a hundred feet long and solid!
Roar!!
Two furious dragon roars, spanning countless ages, resounded from the bottom of the deep spring!
Because they had been brutally killed by the gods of the Divine Realm before their fall, the remaining divine thoughts of these two ancient dragon kings still retained the overwhelming ferocity and killing instincts they possessed at the time of their demise the moment they instinctively awakened.
The two hundred-foot-tall divine soul phantoms, one blue and one red, swirled and intertwined. The terrifying residual power of First-Level God, where all beings below the God King were mere ants, mixed with the primordial spring water of the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, pressed down on Su Chen, who stood on the dragon's skull, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was overturning!
Click!
The ancient jade beneath Su Chen's feet instantly cracked, creating a spiderweb-like pit. Under the pressure of this divine thought, the surrounding spring water solidified into an indestructible crystal wall of law, attempting to crush this creature that had trespassed into the graveyard on the spot!
Any human Titled Douluo would have been annihilated, facing the dying divine thoughts of these two ancient first -First-Level God, the Dragon Kings, with only their souls and spirits remaining.
However, facing the two overwhelming dragon king divine thoughts, Su Chen not only did not retreat in the slightest, but instead suddenly raised his head, and the Ancient Truth-Severing Dragon Divine Pupils in his eyes burst out with a purple-gold divine light that pierced through eternity!
"Two remnant souls who have been dead for countless millennia dare to act so arrogantly before me?!"
With a sharp shout, Su Chen's heart, pulsating with the Chaos Pure Yang Dragon Blood, throbbed violently within his chest, unleashing the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Origin Martial Soul within his body!
A roar, as if the Primordial Dragon Emperor, representing the very ancestors of all dragon races in the myriad realms, had personally descended, rose from behind Su Chen and soared into the sky!
A colossal Primordial Chaos Ancestral Dragon, over a hundred feet long, covered in chaotic crimson-gold dragon scales and topped with majestic dragon horns resembling a purple-gold crown, suddenly manifested its true form behind Su Chen!
If the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King were feudal lords under the Dragon God of the Divine Realm, then the Chaos Ancestral Dragon within Su Chen's body is the ancestor of all Dragon God, the Primordial Dragon Emperor, who is even more ancient than the Dragon God and whom the Primordial Dragon Emperor must bow down to!
This is absolute dominion over the essence of life and the source of bloodline!
Just as the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Dharma Form behind Su Chen opened its eyes and released that wisp of supreme Ancestral Dragon Origin Imperial Majesty.
The two fierce and powerful remaining divine thoughts in mid-air were like two raging Lion suddenly encountering the Nine Heavens True God who held the power of life and death. Their huge hundred-zhang bodies stopped in mid-air less than three zhang above Su Chen's head!
The next second, the two ancient dragon king soul phantoms, one blue and one red, instantly dissipated their violent killing intent and ferocity as if ice and snow were meeting the sun. In their place was a violent tremor, awe, and ecstasy originating from the deepest part of their souls!
"Roar... woo..."
Two deep, gentle, and even somewhat aggrieved and devout dragon roars echoed from the bottom of the spring.
