"That dragon's roar-what terrifying pressure!"
Azure Luan, Guang Ling, and Yue Guan, the three Douluos, abruptly paled.
Before this aura, even they, who stood at the pinnacle of Soul Masters, felt their hearts and minds tremble.
Without the slightest hesitation, the three Titled Douluos instantly activated Martial Soul Possession.
They shot backward, shielding Qian Renxue, who was still absorbing the Immortal Herb, behind them.
Deep within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lu Xuan remained motionless, looking at the two Dragon Kings before him.
The phantoms of the two Dragon Kings simply gazed silently at Lu Xuan.
They stared at one another, great eyes meeting small.
"Old Fire, I think he is qualified to inherit our legacy!" the Water Dragon King said slowly, a certain hope in the voice.
"Yes. With the auras of Asura and Life, he is undoubtedly qualified." Approval flashed through the Fire Dragon King's eyes.
The Fire Dragon King lowered his head and fixed his burning gaze on Lu Xuan, his voice echoing like thunder at the bottom of the spring.
"Boy, although we don't know just how far you will go in the future, we trust our judgment!"
"We hope you will accept this gesture of goodwill."
The Water Dragon King followed the Fire Dragon King's words, the tone carrying a hint of sorrow and earnestness:
"We only hope that, should you possess supreme power one day, you will look after the Soul Beast Clan a little... This is our only request!"
Before Lu Xuan could recover from the two Dragon Kings' words.
The remnant souls of the two great Dragon Kings suddenly let out a long howl that shook heaven and earth!
The two phantoms, one red and one blue, crashed together in the spring water, intertwining.
Immediately afterward, a terrifying aura that distorted the surrounding space erupted from the deepest reaches of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
As the light dispersed, a torso bone radiating the twin divine lights of ice and fire floated silently before Lu Xuan.
Half of this torso bone was as crystalline and translucent as ten-thousand-year ice, while the other half flowed with the crimson glow of magma from the earth's core.
Intricate dragon patterns were also inscribed upon it.
"This is a Million-Year Torso Soul Bone, condensed using all the power we two had left."
"Absorbing this Soul Bone will also help you refine the medicinal properties within your body!"
The voices of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings gradually grew ethereal as they spoke in turn.
Lu Xuan looked at the supreme treasure delivered before him, his heart pounding wildly.
This was a Million-Year Soul Bone!
And among the six major Soul Bones a Soul Master could possess, it was the most important-the torso bone.
What should he do when faced with such a heaven-defying opportunity?
Why, of course...
Seize it without hesitation and refine it at once!
While he absorbed the Soul Bone, the two medicinal powers within his body seemed to encounter an absolute monarch.
They were suppressed by the Soul Bone's power and continuously refined.
Across the surface of Lu Xuan's body, ice-blue and crimson light intertwined and flickered wildly.
Only with the passage of time did the colors slowly fade.
Then his exposed skin began to transform, revealing a luster like the finest warm jade.
It looked soft, yet contained terrifying physical strength!
After an unknown length of time, Lu Xuan abruptly opened his eyes.
He had successfully finished absorbing the Soul Bone.
He could clearly sense that his Soul Power reserves had surged by an unknown amount.
They had absolutely far exceeded the bottleneck at rank 30.
However, he would need to absorb a Soul Ring before he could know his exact rank.
He rose from the bottom of the spring, and the surrounding ice and fire spring water automatically parted to either side, opening a path to the surface for him.
Lu Xuan bent his knees slightly and leaped straight up.
As though the spring water had a spirit and worried he could not leap out, a gentle current even supported his feet.
It carried him steadily toward the surface.
That was rather kind of it!
Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The waves that had shaken heaven and earth had already subsided.
Just as the three Douluos thought everything had returned to calm.
An enormous whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Immediately afterward, Lu Xuan shot out of the whirlpool and landed lightly on the grass beside the shore.
"Little Xuan!"
Seeing Lu Xuan return unharmed, everyone finally let their hanging hearts settle and breathed out a long sigh together.
Azure Luan hurried forward, looking Lu Xuan up and down as he asked urgently, "What exactly happened to you in the spring?"
He also told Lu Xuan about the strange changes that had occurred earlier.
"It actually had such a huge effect?" Lu Xuan was surprised too.
He himself had never expected the commotion caused by the two great Dragon Kings to affect the entire Sunset Forest.
And so.
"I obtained a Million-Year Soul Bone down there. Taking the Soul Bone probably caused the disturbance!"
Lu Xuan laid out the story, mixing truth with falsehood.
"I absorbed the Soul Bone at the bottom of the spring. While absorbing it, I also completely integrated the medicinal effects. My physical strength has now undergone a transformation! And I can absorb another Immortal Herb!"
Upon hearing "Million-Year Torso Bone."
The three Titled Douluos sucked in a breath of cold air.
A Million-Year Soul Bone-this was simply too astounding, already beyond their understanding.
In this era, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could only be encountered by chance, let alone a million-year one.
"Elder Ju, please help me choose another Immortal Herb!" Lu Xuan changed the subject.
"Yes, of course!" Yue Guan recovered from his shock, his eyes blazing as he searched the medicinal garden.
In the end, he chose an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid for Lu Xuan, snow-white throughout and giving off a faint fragrance.
"Young Master Xuan, aside from that king of flowers, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, only this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is the most suitable for you!" Yue Guan explained.
Because of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red's extremely demanding method of acknowledging a master and being picked, he directly ruled out that option.
Perhaps Lu Xuan could return in the future and pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
But certainly not now. Where would a six-year-old child find a love engraved into his bones and heart?
"The method for absorbing this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is very simple. You only need to chew and swallow it."
"Its medicinal effects are extremely gentle and rich. It can continuously nourish your essence and also increase the speed at which your Soul Power improves!"
As Yue Guan spoke, he handed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took it and ate it directly, then sat cross-legged on the spot and began absorbing it.
Four hours slipped by in silence.
"Humm-!"
Suddenly, an intensely scorching and sacred aura erupted nearby.
Qian Renxue had awakened!
She opened her eyes, and crimson-gold flames seemed to dance within them.
With the aid of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's medicinal power, her Soul Power had risen by six ranks outright!
Even more astonishingly, her originally sacred, pure-white Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had now undergone a wondrous change.
Within that pure white shone a hint of noble, blazing crimson.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Three pairs of white wings tinged with crimson unfurled in succession.
Then, even more unbelievably.
A fourth pair of wings actually appeared behind Qian Renxue!
This newly grown fourth pair of wings was entirely different from the three pairs above.
It was a dazzling crimson throughout.
The tail feathers looked even more like burning flames.
Each flap could warp the surrounding air.
Martial Soul Evolution!
From a Six-Winged Angel, it had broken through the shackles of its bloodline and evolved into-an Eight-Winged Seraph!
And the fiery aura emanating from her was pure, domineering, and capable of burning all things to ash.
According to the theories of ten thousand years later.
This was-Ultimate Fire!
