Confusing the two
Jun Yi endured the biting cold emanating from the Ice Dragon King's Divine Power and swam towards the bottom of the pool. A flicker of excitement flashed in Jun Yi eyes as a massive, ice-white dragon skeleton came into Jun Yi.
Although the Ice Dragon King's bones had been dead for ten thousand years, Jun Yi could still feel its former majesty and Haki. The bones were still crystal clear, like white jade, and intricate patterns were carved on them. Strands of pale golden light shone through the surface of the bones, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling. The chilling aura was released from these golden patterns.
At the top of the dragon bone is a white stone with distinct edges, lying quietly at the bottom of the pool, emitting a faint glow, with faint patterns emerging on its surface.
"This must be the Ice Dragon King's corpse! It's so beautiful." Jun Yi exclaimed, but half of his body was already numb, and the cold had already invaded half of his body, which was now covered with frost. Jun Yi slowly approached the dragon bones with his only remaining right hand and right leg.
"System, if you don't intervene soon, I'm going to freeze to death!" Jun Yi shouted to the system in his inner world.
"Okay, okay."
A system voice sounded, and golden light surged around Jun Yi. A powerful aura emanated from Jun Yi, followed by the slow emergence of a dragon shadow on his body. Unlike the Western dragons in Jun Yi Douluo Continent, what materialized on Jun Yi was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon phantom. Its golden claws, sharp mouth, and imposing eyes were all incredibly lifelike. The golden dragon slowly coiled around Jun Yi's body, and finally merged directly into his body.
Instantly, his previously stiff body relaxed, and a surge of heat flowed through his bloodstream to every part of his body. The icy chill seemed to dissipate in an instant, and Jun Yi felt as if he were bathed in flames, experiencing an indescribable warmth and comfort...
Immediately afterward, a beam of light emanated from the sharply defined white stone at the top of the dragon bone and entered Jun Yi's spiritual world.
Jun Yi then entered his Sea of Consciousness and saw a colossal, ice-blue dragon hovering in mid-air. It was entirely white, several dozen feet long, and covered in mysterious patterns, with a faint mist swirling around it. Its head was raised, its wings spread, and concentric circles of ice-blue ripples radiated outwards from it, emanating an incomparably powerful aura.
"Is this the last remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King? It looks almost identical to its complete form!" Jun Yi muttered in astonishment.
"Who are you? How do you possess the Dragon God's Power?"
Within the Sea of Consciousness, the ice-blue dragon opened its maw and exhaled a cloud of azure Dragon Breath Dragon Breath, which contained an extremely dense aura of ice.
" Dragon God's Power? No, no, no. I'm different from you. I'm a genuine five-clawed Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. We're not the same kind of dragon, so don't confuse us."
Within the soul space, Jun Yi shook his fingers, and five sharp claws, gleaming with a golden luster, slowly extended, emanating a faint ripple.
The phantom of Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared, and an immense pressure spread out. The terrifying aura even made Jun Yi's Sea of Consciousness tremble, and even the Ice Dragon King, which was floating in mid-air, was suppressed and forced to prostrate on the ground.
"This is an aura even stronger than the Dragon God's! What... what level of the Dragon Clan is this?!" the Ice Dragon King asked in shock.
"That's a long story." Jun Yi waved his hand, retracting the dragon shadow. Then, with the air of a reclusive master, he slowly put his hands behind his back and quietly looked at the frost dragon in front of him.
"You are not Dragon Clan, yet you possess such a strong Dragon Clan bloodline. Who exactly are you?" the Ice Dragon King asked in confusion.
"Who I am is not important. What matters is whether you are willing to offer up your remnant soul." Jun Yi said with a smile, "After all, you have been gone for ten thousand years, and your remnant soul has fallen into slumber. If I hadn't awakened you, you would have disappeared into the long river of history sooner or later, becoming nothing more than a passing cloud."
"This..."
The Ice Dragon King hesitated for a moment. The human before him was far too mysterious. Although he was weak, the Dragon Might he had just exuded had completely overwhelmed him. It was the suppression of a lower-level dragon by a higher-level dragon. This suppression was based on bloodline. Even though he had already perished, his Dragon Might was something that no ordinary dragon could withstand.
Meanwhile, the Ice Dragon King was deep in thought. Jun Yi was right. After being dormant for ten thousand years, his lingering will had become extremely weak. If it weren't for sensing the Dragon Might's might emanating from Jun Yi and drawing upon the True Dragon Power within Jun Yi's soul, it would never have been able to awaken. Once separated from its original dragon bones, it would disappear completely from the world and become eternal dust, even if it didn't take long.
After much deliberation, the Ice Dragon King finally made his decision. He slowly raised his dragon head and asked Jun Yi, "I can give you my remnant soul, but I hope you will agree to one condition."
Jun Yi had already guessed that the Ice Dragon King's condition was the revival of the Soul Beast Clan, but he pretended not to know and asked, "Go on."
"I hope you can lead our Soul Beast Clan race back to glory," the Ice Dragon King said firmly.
"No problem, I promise."
Upon hearing Jun Yi's agreement, the Ice Dragon King King's head swayed slightly, and the rhombus-shaped crystal atop its head suddenly emitted a dazzling light, about to surge into Jun Yi's body. Just as the Ice Dragon King was about to offer up its remnant soul, Jun Yi asked, "If you give me your remnant soul, will it affect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well above?"
"No. The treasure land above was formed from my physical body and the power of the dragon bones. Although I have perished, the power of the dragon bones still remains here. It will not dissipate because of my remnant soul, nor will it harm the layout of that treasure land."
"That's good." Jun Yi took a deep breath. If he disrupted the layout of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after absorbing the remnant soul of the Ice Dragon King, thereby damaging the herbs in the herb garden, it would be a huge loss. At the very least, he should remove all the herbs before absorbing the Ice Dragon King to be on the safe side.
Let's begin.
As soon as Jun Yi finished speaking, the Ice Dragon King's soul slowly entered Jun Yi's brow. A sharp pain shot through him, but Jun Yi gritted his teeth and endured it. A fierce chill surged into his body, ravaging every inch of his skin, as if to tear him apart—a pain that penetrated to the very soul. However, Jun Yi was already accustomed to such pain and found it insignificant. Gradually, his soul merged with the Ice Dragon King's soul, an indescribable feeling filling his entire mind...
