"Hold head high--!"
The soaring dragon's roar pierced through the spring water, reaching the deepest part of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, thousands of feet below, to a strange little world.
This place has been silent for countless years.
Two enormous, unimaginably massive dragon skeletons lay silently.
A body entirely ice-blue, its bones sculpted from millennia-old ice, radiating an extreme chill that freezes the soul.
Another body, crimson like lava, seemed to still have an inextinguishable flame flowing along its bones, carrying a terrifyingly high temperature that could burn everything.
Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King!
They perished in the fierce Dragon God War, their enormous bodies falling into this place and forming this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Their remaining traces of dragon soul slumber within this small world.
The roar of the Valstrax Martial Soul was like a boulder thrown into a deep well, instantly shattering the eternal silence of this small world!
"Buzz--"
On the Ice Dragon King's skeleton, the icy blue soul flame flickered suddenly.
Within the Fire Dragon King's remains, the crimson aura of the dragon soul also fluctuated.
Two enormous and illusory dragon souls rose from their respective skeletons.
Their eyes were initially blank, but soon that blankness was replaced by an indescribable shock!
They sensed it.
That dragon's might emanating from above!
It was not a suppression of power, but a kind of dominance that originated from the deepest part of one's bloodline.
It was as if a subject had met a king, or a mortal had glimpsed a god!
"What kind of dragon is this...?"
The remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King emitted a shocking mental fluctuation, causing the surrounding extreme cold energy to become chaotic and violent due to its emotions.
"I've never felt... such powerful bloodline pressure before!"
"Even... even the Father God of yesteryear seems to..." the remnant soul of the Fire Dragon King responded, the illusory flames trembling.
The bloodlines of these Nine Great Dragon Kings are already among the best in the dragon race, second only to the Dragon God.
But the dragon's might they felt at this moment seemed to come from another dimension, a higher existence that they could not understand or reach!
Far surpassing ordinary true dragons?
No!
It is above all dragons in their understanding!
They sensed the boundless potential contained within this bloodline, a possibility that could truly transcend the Divine Realm and reach unprecedented heights!
After a brief moment of shock, the remnant souls of the two dragon kings became excited.
"Chance!"
The Ice Dragon King's thoughts were filled with determination and a hint of trembling, "This is the turning point that my dragon race... no, the entire Soul Beast Clan has waited for countless years!"
"Such bloodline might truly break the shackles of the Divine Realm and find a way out for us!" the Fire Dragon King responded, his remaining soul fire burning fiercely, revealing his inner turmoil.
but,
They were not blinded by ecstasy.
Having suffered a crushing defeat in the Dragon God War and endured a long period of silence, they became even more cautious.
"But... he is ultimately a human being."
The Ice Dragon King's mind calmed down. "We need to confirm whether he, who possesses this bloodline, is willing to seek justice for us from the Divine Realm when we reach the pinnacle."
"Indeed, if we rashly offer sacrifices and entrust the task to the wrong person, we will become sinful dragons for all eternity."
The Fire Dragon King wholeheartedly agreed, "Let's first help him absorb this power of ice and fire, establishing a good relationship, and then negotiate with him."
After reaching a consensus, two faint yet extremely powerful divine thoughts silently traversed a distance of tens of thousands of feet and descended upon Yu Tianming's side.
now,
Yu Tianming was fully utilizing his Soul Power and Dragon Energy to absorb the raging ice and fire energy within his body.
Although he forcibly suppressed the conflict between extreme heat and extreme cold, the refining process was not fast and was still accompanied by pain.
Just then, two gentle yet vast forces quietly surged into his body.
A force carrying the extreme cold that Ice Seal everything has taken control of the energy of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Another force, containing Ultimate Fire capable of scorching the heavens and destroying the earth, instantly absorbed and merged the medicinal power of the Infernal Delicate Apricot into one.
Under the influence of these two forces that share the same origin but are of a higher level, the originally violent ice and fire energy instantly became docile and even more powerful, with a higher essence.
Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, it merged into Yu Tianming's limbs, bones, and flesh!
Pain completely gone, absorption efficiency skyrocketed!
When these two forces entered his body, Yu Tianming was startled.
But then he sensed that there was no malice in those two forces, and they were filled with the ancient aura of the dragon race, so he had a guess in his mind.
He suppressed his thoughts and focused all his energy on absorbing the information.
In just a short while, he had completely absorbed the energy of the two Immortal Herb.
Yu Tianming's panel returned to normal, faintly glowing with a jade-like luster, his blood and qi surging like a dragon, as if he had inexhaustible power within his body.
More importantly, he could clearly feel that his body had developed a strong resistance to ice and fire, and at the same time, he had achieved almost complete immunity to toxins!
Because of the ancient Elder Dragon bloodline of the Valstrax Martial Soul, he already has a high resistance to toxins.
Now, Ice and Fire Golden Body, Yu Tianming is even less afraid of poison.
It is impervious to water and fire, and repels all poisons!
Not only that.
Yu Tianming's Soul Power also improved; he was originally at the peak of level 24, but now he has jumped to level 30.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and neither Dugu Bo nor Dugu Yan could sense the divine thoughts of the two dragon kings.
They only felt that Yu Tianming absorbed the energy exceptionally smoothly, his aura surging before quickly stabilizing.
" Tianming, you succeeded?"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in delight.
"Yes, it worked." Yu Tianming slowly opened his eyes and responded.
Then, instead of looking at the two of them, his gaze fell upon the seemingly calm but actually unfathomable Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Spring.
Two ancient, weathered, yet undeniably excited voices echoed in his mind:
"The newcomer... a young man bearing the bloodline of the supreme dragon race..."
"We are the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, who perished here, and we wish to speak with you."
Yu Tianming's gaze narrowed slightly, his heart churning with turmoil, but his face remained impassive.
He had long known that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was the burial place of the two great dragon kings, but he never expected that their remnant souls would awaken at this time and pay so much attention to him!
"Is it because of the Valstrax Martial Soul...?"
Yu Tianming's mind raced, and he said to Dugu Yan and the others beside him, " Yanyan, Grandpa Dugu, I need to sit here quietly for a while to stabilize my cultivation level and also to experience the power of ice and fire."
The two men, without suspicion, nodded in agreement.
Yu Tianming closed his eyes again, immersing his entire mind in his Sea of Consciousness, and replied:
"Seniors, what brings you here?"
His response was calm and composed, neither arrogant nor humble.
The two Dragon Kings were among the strongest beings in the divine realm during their lifetimes, but they have long since perished, leaving only their remnant souls, who are constantly worried about being discovered by the Divine Realm.
The fact that she deliberately exposed herself and established contact with him at this moment must mean she has an ulterior motive!
It was only because the two dragon kings had just shown goodwill that Yu Tianming was willing to talk to them.
Within Yu Tianming's Sea of Consciousness, the voice of the Ice Dragon King rang out first:
"Composure and calm in the face of adversity, human, you are truly remarkable!"
"We sought you because we sensed the immense power of the dragon race within your bloodline. It is a bloodline that surpasses ours, even surpasses that of the Father God."
May this help you... ascend to godhood!
