Ning Xian put away the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.

"Awaken."

The single word fell.

The two Dragon Kings opened their eyes at the same time.

The Fire Dragon lowered its head to look at Ning Xian.

Golden flames burned in its draconic eyes.

"My body..."

The Ice Dragon looked at its claws.

Cold air flowed slowly along its scales.

"My origin has actually been made whole again."

They had once fallen in the great war of the Dragon Clan.

Their bodies had turned into the energy of heaven and earth.

Time had also worn away most of their souls' origins.

Without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well storing their remaining power, they would have dissipated completely long ago.

Now, however, they possessed the bodies of Dragon Kings once more.

This power far surpassed their remnant-soul state.

The Fire Dragon folded its wings.

Its enormous body slowly settled at the edge of the valley.

"Human, were you the one who reconstructed us?"

"I was."

"What do you want to gain from us?"

Ning Xian glanced at it.

"I don't need anything of yours."

The Fire Dragon fell silent.

The Ice Dragon lowered its head.

Both Dragon Kings withdrew their oppressive auras at the same time.

"You have brought fallen Dragon Kings back into the world. That makes you a benefactor of the Dragon Clan."

"From this day forth, we are willing to follow you."

The Fire Dragon also bowed its head.

The crimson-gold flames slowly died out along its scales.

"If you will have us, we are willing to fight for you."

Dugu Bo's heart jolted.

Two Dragon Kings had willingly submitted.

This was no longer a matter of ordinary Soul Beasts choosing to follow someone.

Even in the Dragon Clan's greatest heyday, Dragon Kings had held extremely high standing.

Yet Ning Xian showed no surprise.

"Your origins have only just recovered. You can't remain in the outside world for long yet."

He raised his hand.

The Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda appeared again.

Its doors slowly opened.

Mystic Yellow Radiance flowed out, and the four floors of space inside were clearly visible.

The first floor recorded countless Martial Souls and Soul Skills.

The second floor was covered in Xuanhuang Array Patterns.

Stars revolved on the third floor.

The fourth floor was an empty expanse, with only a wisp of creation power drifting slowly through it.

"Stay in the pagoda for now."

The Fire Dragon looked at the Ancient Tower.

"This place can repair our origins?"

"The creation power on the fourth floor can stabilize your Dragon King bodies."

Ning Xian said:

"Once you've recovered completely, you can decide whether to leave."

The Ice Dragon raised its head.

"We will follow your arrangements."

The two Dragon Kings shrank their bodies.

The Fire Dragon shrank to a size of ten zhang.

The Ice Dragon shrank to the same size.

They flew into the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda one after the other.

Mystic Yellow Radiance surged out through the pagoda doors.

After entering the fourth floor, the two dragon silhouettes settled on opposite sides of the space.

Flames and cold air each occupied one side.

Crimson and azure patterns immediately emerged across the fourth floor's previously empty ground.

At that moment, the Ancient Tower also drew upon the origin of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The spring water did not dry up.

Only its purest power followed the Mystic Yellow Radiance into the pagoda.

The Fire Dragon coiled upon the crimson patterns.

The Ice Dragon lay amid the azure patterns.

The two Dragon Kings closed their eyes and began absorbing the creation power within the pagoda.

Ning Xian raised his hand and closed the pagoda doors.

The Ancient Tower turned into a streak of Xuanhuang Radiance and merged into his body.

Dugu Yan walked over to his side.

"Senior, now that you've put the two Dragon Kings in the pagoda, the fourth floor won't be empty anymore."

"Mm."

"Then will they damage anything inside?"

"No."

"How do you know, Senior?"

"They wouldn't dare."

Dugu Yan glanced at Ning Xian.

She noticed that Ning Xian was always very direct when he spoke.

The two Dragon Kings were willing to submit.

It was not because Ning Xian had made them any promises.

Rather, it was because Ning Xian possessed the power to bring them back.

She raised a hand and touched her wrist.

"Senior."

"What is it?"

"Will you revive many powerful beings in the future?"

"That depends."

"Then if Grandpa and I die someday, can you revive us too?"

Dugu Bo's expression changed.

"Yanyan, don't talk nonsense."

Dugu Yan turned back to look at him.

"I was just asking."

Ning Xian stopped walking.

"If you live your lives well, you won't need to consider such things."

Dugu Yan nodded.

"You have a point, Senior."

She turned to look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"But what about the Immortal Herbs here?"

"We're taking them all."

Ning Xian swept his hand.

Mystic Yellow Radiance enveloped the entire herb garden.

The Immortal Herbs were pulled up by their roots, one after another.

The soil did not scatter.

The medicinal potency of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was sealed intact within their roots.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red, aromatic silk beauty, octagonal mysterious ice grass, and infernal delicate apricot were the first to land in Ning Xian's palm.

Then the entire herb garden was taken into the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.

A new medicinal field appeared in the space on the fourth floor.

Crimson and azure patterns interwove beneath the soil.

After the Immortal Herbs entered, their roots immediately sank into the Xuanhuang soil.

The power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was also divided into two streams.

The herbs of utmost yang grew on the Fire Dragon's side.

The herbs of utmost yin settled on the Ice Dragon's side.

The remaining spiritual herbs were arranged according to their attributes.

The once-disorderly herb garden soon became neatly organized.

Dugu Yan watched the scene.

"Senior, you even sorted the herbs."

"Their medicinal properties differ. They can't be mixed together."

"Then can I still go inside to look at them in the future?"

"Yes."

Dugu Yan's eyes brightened.

"Can I pick them?"

"No."

The expression on her face froze at once.

"I'll only pick one."

"No."

"Half of one?"

"If you need anything, tell me directly."

Dugu Yan thought for a moment.

"Then if I need Immortal Herbs in the future, I'll come to you, Senior."

"Mm."

Dugu Bo walked up behind the two of them.

"Senior, will you reconstruct Yanyan's bloodline next?"

"Let's return to the pagoda first."

Ning Xian looked at Dugu Yan.

"The Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda has already absorbed the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"Cultivating inside the pagoda will be no less effective for you than cultivating here."

Dugu Bo nodded immediately.

"This old man will follow your arrangements, Senior."

Dugu Yan glanced at the valley behind her.

This was the place her grandfather had guarded for many years.

Now Ning Xian had taken away both the Immortal Herbs and the spring's origin.

The valley still remained.

It simply lacked the intense heat and cold it once possessed.

She withdrew her gaze and followed Ning Xian.

"Senior."

"What is it now?"

"Are there rooms inside the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda?"

"Yes."

"Where will Grandpa and I stay?"

"The first floor."

Dugu Yan looked at him.

"What about you, Senior?"

"I'm on the fourth floor."

"Then can I live on the fourth floor too?"

"No."

"Why?"

"There are Dragon Kings on the fourth floor."

Dugu Yan lightly pressed her lips together.

"I won't disturb them."

"You will."

"I can stay quiet."

"You'll talk."

She stopped walking.

Her green eyes watched Ning Xian's back.

"Senior, do you find me annoying?"

Ning Xian turned around.

Dugu Yan stood on the mountain path.

The wind blew her dark green hair behind her shoulders. Her emerald dress clung to her figure, and the sash at her waist swayed gently with her movements.

She raised her face, her expression serious.

Ning Xian looked at her for a moment.

"No."

"Then why can't I live on the fourth floor?"

"Your cultivation is too low right now."

Dugu Yan froze for a moment.

Ning Xian continued:

"The power of creation on the fourth floor will transform your body."

"You can't withstand it."

She lowered her head and looked at her palms.

"Once I become stronger, will I be able to go in?"

"Yes."

Dugu Yan caught up with him again.

"Then you have to remember, Senior."

"Remember what?"

"Once I become stronger, you have to let me onto the fourth floor."

Ning Xian did not answer.

Dugu Yan walked beside him, her gaze settling on Ning Xian's sleeve.

A moment later, she reached out and gently took hold of one corner.

Ning Xian looked at her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"The mountain path is hard to walk on."

The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.

The mountain path was perfectly smooth, without even a single loose stone.

Yet Dugu Yan did not let go.

"Senior, I used up a lot of Soul Power just now."

Ning Xian withdrew his gaze.

"You only stood to the side and watched."

"Watching Dragon Kings come back to life takes Spiritual Power too."

Dugu Bo turned his face away.

He no longer wanted to listen.

Holding Ning Xian's sleeve, Dugu Yan walked with a much lighter step.

The Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda hovered in midair.

Its ancient, unadorned doors slowly opened.

Mystic Yellow Radiance spilled from within, enveloping all three figures.

Ning Xian stepped inside.

Dugu Yan followed at his side.

Dugu Bo took one last look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before stepping into the Mystic Yellow Radiance as well.

The doors slowly closed behind the three of them.

Within the fourth-floor space.

The two great Dragon Kings lay coiled amid crimson and azure patterns.

Immortal herbs grew quietly in the medicinal fields.

Xuanhuang power of creation circulated slowly through the pagoda.

The Fire Dragon and Ice Dragon opened their eyes at the same time.

They looked toward the white-robed figure outside the pagoda.

Then they closed their eyes again.

From this day onward.

This would be their temporary dwelling.

The Demon Whale Sea.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King raised his head and gazed at the firmament.

Golden light descended from the depths of the Sky Screen.

The whirlpools on the sea's surface stopped on their own.

All the Sea Soul Beasts waited in the distance.

Purplish-red light flickered ceaselessly in the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's lone eye.

"Let me see just what reward the Heavenly Dao can give this king."

"If it's nothing special, this king will devour this entire sea!"

Golden text appeared, line after line.

[Sixth place on the Powerhouse Ranking: Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.] [Reward distribution commencing.]

The first beam of golden light descended.

Golden light enveloped the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's enormous body.

Purple-black devouring power surged out of him.

Masses of origin belonging to other Sea Soul Beasts were forcibly drawn out.

Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

Evil Spirit Orcas.

Deep Sea Flood Dragons.

Ten-Thousand-Year Black Tortoises.

Countless phantoms of devoured sea beasts rapidly dissipated in the golden light.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body began to change violently.

The black scales that originally covered his entire body gradually took on a deep purple sheen.

The golden patterns between his scales kept spreading.

A vast power reorganized the chaotic origins within him.

Foreign power was separated out.

The origin belonging to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King himself was continuously tempered by the golden light.

His lost left eye also began to change at that moment.

Purple-black flesh grew from the socket.

A vertical golden pupil slowly opened within it.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's enormous body shuddered violently.

Both eyes opened at once.

Towering waves instantly surged throughout the Demon Whale Sea.

[Reward one: Origin Purification.] [Purifying the foreign origins within the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.] [Stripping away ownerless impurities and preserving the Devouring Origin.] [Completing the 99-percent Divine Body.] [Divine Body completion: 100 percent.]

The instant the golden text appeared.

A vast aura erupted from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

His once-chaotic power became completely unified.

His Devouring Origin, Divine Dragon Bloodline, Divine Bones, and flesh all fully fused.

His body began to shrink.

His enormous body, over two hundred meters long, gradually shrank to one hundred meters.

Then it shrank from one hundred meters to ten zhang.

Finally, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stopped at three zhang.

His body still retained the shape of a whale.

But his black scales had all turned deep purple.

Purplish-red light swirled in one eye, while golden divine fire burned in the other.

The fin bones on his back slowly spread open.

A pair of purple-gold bone wings extended behind him.

Seawater encircled his body.

Without deliberately mobilizing his Soul Power, he could make the entire sea change with him.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King lowered his head and looked at his body.

He could clearly sense it.

The chaotic origins that had plagued him for countless years had all vanished.

The power he had devoured had been completely refined into his own.

Under the Heavenly Dao's reward, his Divine Body had also undergone its final transformation.

"Now this is a true Divine Body."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King raised his wings.

Purple-gold light swept across the sea.

Cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

The cracks did not spread any farther.

He merely raised his hand, and space restored itself.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King froze for a moment.

In the past, he could only tear space apart through sheer power.

Now, he could already touch the Space Laws.

The Heavenly Dao's text continued to appear.

[The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has completed his Divine Body transformation.] [Devouring Origin evolution complete.] [Devouring Domain has evolved into Heaven-Devouring Domain.] [Within the Heaven-Devouring Domain, flesh, Soul Power, spiritual energy, and the power of laws can be devoured.] [Devoured power will be converted into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's own origin.]

Across the Douluo Continent.

Countless Soul Masters gazed at the Sky Screen, their faces filled with shock.

[His Divine Body is complete?]

[The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Divine Body was only 99 percent complete just now!]

[A single Origin Purification reward completed his Divine Body outright!]

[His Devouring Domain evolved into the Heaven-Devouring Domain too!]

[He can even devour the power of laws?]

[This reward is far too powerful!]

[He's already a true God Level Soul Beast now!]

Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi gazed at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in the Sky Screen.

She could sense it.

That demonic whale's aura was now completely different from before.

In the past, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had possessed immense power, yet it had always been riddled with chaos.

Now, that chaos had been purged completely.

His divine body was complete.

His devouring origin had also undergone a transformation.

With this reward alone, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had crossed the boundary between a million-year soul beast and a God Level being.

Sea Dragon Douluo looked grave.

"Lord Sea God, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has become a god."

Bo Saixi did not answer.

Her gaze rested on that pair of purple-gold bone wings.

"He hasn't truly condensed a divine position yet."

"But his combat power is already at god level."

The Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo all fell silent.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had already been the greatest threat to Sea God Island.

Now, he had also completed the transformation of his divine body.

If he entered Sea God Island again, the Seven Sacred Pillars Formation might not be able to stop him.

The Demon Whale Sea.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King raised his head and looked at the Sky Screen.

Light flared in both his eyes at once.

"A divine body."

"The Heaven-Devouring Domain."

"At last, I have reached this point!"

He spread his arms.

Vast sheets of seawater rose from every direction.

The origins of countless sea soul beasts trembled beneath the sea.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King did not continue devouring.

As he felt the power within him that belonged entirely to him, an expression of exhilaration spread across his face.

He had cultivated for over three hundred thousand years.

He had devoured countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures and sea soul beasts.

He had endured nine heavenly tribulations.

Now, everything he had accumulated had finally fused together.

He was no longer a soul beast who piled up his cultivation through external power.

His divine body and origin had truly become one.

"From this day forth, I am a true God Level being!"
