Jun Yi walked slowly to the lakeside, quietly watching the pool where ice and fire intertwined. Then, a chill emanated from his body, and he leaped into the pool.
Unlike last time, this time Jun Yi dived directly from the boundary between the Yin Spring and the Yang Spring, aiming to achieve a relatively balanced state so that he could absorb the Divine Power of both the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King at the same time. Then, Jun Yi accelerated again and released his Observation Haki to sense everything in the pool.
Soon Jun Yi arrived at the bottom of the pool. Looking around, two huge dragon bones came into Jun Yi. The dragon bone on the left exuded a chilling aura, while the one on the right was scorching hot. The two completely different yet extremely aggressive forces were perfectly combined to form a delicate balance.
Although the surface of the dragon bones was now riddled with holes from corrosion, the aura they exuded still made Jun Yi feel a slight unease. This was enough to show how powerful and terrifying they had been back then. After all, the gap between Jun Yi and First-Level God was still quite large; one was in the heavens, and the other was on the ground.
Taking a deep breath, Jun Yi placed his hand on the dragon bone. Instantly, endless ice and fire energy surged in, rushing into Jun Yi's body and causing him to tremble violently.
Jun Yi clearly felt that his body was constantly absorbing the vast ice and fire energy around him. At the same time, the Ice Dragon King flew out from Jun Yi's Sea of Consciousness and went directly to the head of the dragon bone, devouring the remnant soul that was still sleeping above it, in order to strengthen his current Divine Soul.
"Call"
The Ice Dragon King returned, Jun Yi let out a long sigh. He then began to actively absorb the power of the two dragon bones. Two immense energies flowed into Jun Yi's body like rivers, and the interplay of ice and fire continuously transformed Jun Yi's body, making it gradually more resilient.
Moreover, Jun Yi also felt that as he continued to absorb the infusion of these two enormous energies, his soul seemed to be slowly strengthening, and the system's progress bar was also increasing rapidly.
-
30%, -25%, -20%, -15%...
Just a moment later, a system notification suddenly sounded in Jun Yi's mind: Ding! Congratulations, host, you have restored the system to normal. Next, the system will enter an automatic recovery state, during which some side effects will be caused to the host. However, if the host can continue to absorb Divine Power, the side effects will disappear.
"Side effects? Could it be...?"
Before Jun Yi could finish speaking, a familiar and piercing ringing sound instantly appeared in Jun Yi ears, but it disappeared in an instant. However, Jun Yi knew that once he absorbed all the remaining divine Divine Power, he would be in this state of ringing for a long time.
"It seems I'll have to be more careful in the future," Jun Yi.
As Jun Yi continued to absorb the Divine Power of the two dragon bones, the bottom of the pool, which had remained unchanged, gradually began to show signs of disturbance.
With a soft 'bang', the Ice Dragon King's bones shattered instantly, and the ice blocks that had already turned into powder exploded violently, scattering countless tiny ice shards into every corner of the pool.
Meanwhile, the dragon bones of the Fire Dragon King on the other side gradually melted, turning into a dazzling light that suddenly rose up. This light was very soft, like a red sun hanging at the bottom of the pool, illuminating the entire bottom.
Jun Yi raised his hand and directly absorbed the energy into his body. In an instant, Jun Yi's whole body was engulfed in flames. His skin quickly dried and cracked due to the scorching temperature, and his blood boiled. Waves of surging energy raged within Jun Yi's dantian, as if they were about to burst out of his body.
"Rumble..."
The surging energy within Jun Yi's body could no longer be contained, and under his control, it burst forth. In an instant, it ripped his clothes to shreds, revealing his robust physique, with streaks of crimson-gold light swirling around it, making him appear sacred and solemn.
"Boom~~~"
An extremely terrifying aura burst forth from Jun Yi's body, sweeping across the surrounding area. Even the water in the pool around Jun Yi churned outwards, creating a sky full of waves.
Surrounded by golden light, one dragon roar after another resounded. All the surrounding energy converged on Jun Yi, beginning to rebuild his physical body. In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Jun Yi's cracked skin healed at an astonishing speed, eventually returning to its original state.
A faint, ethereal Dragon Might's might emanated from Jun Yi, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
At this moment, his body shimmered with a faint golden light. Whenever a crack appeared on his skin, golden light would immediately cover it and repair the crack until Jun Yi's body turned completely golden.
"Call"
Jun Yi exhaled a breath of stale air, opened his eyes, and a golden light shot out. He stood up, his heart filled with doubt, and went to his Sea of Consciousness to ask the Ice Dragon King, "Senior, what's wrong with my body?"
"This is the last remaining power of my and Little Fire's dragon bones that I used to reforge your body, making it completely immune to fire and ice. Moreover, its strength has roughly reached the level of Titled Douluo among humans. Not only that, your body can now truly absorb some weak Divine Power, allowing it to continuously improve. Perhaps in just about ten years, even if you don't inherit Godhood, your body can at least reach the level of Second-Level God."
The Ice Dragon King responded calmly.
"Thank you for your kind gift, senior."
Jun Yi Jun Yi deeply to the Ice Dragon King and said sincerely, "I will remember this kindness forever."
"We are one, so there's no question of favor between us. Besides, I've already placed my future on you, so I certainly hope you become stronger," the Ice Dragon King said slowly.
"For the next period of time, I will continue to slumber and properly digest that remnant soul. If you encounter any problems, you can ask the Guangming King." After saying this, the Ice Dragon King's gaze drifted towards the Light Dragon King.
"Okay." Jun Yi nodded, then left his Sea of Consciousness.
Just then, the tinnitus returned, causing Jun Yi's face to contort in pain. He looked at the system's 21% progress bar and sighed softly.
Then it transformed into a beam of light, flew away from the bottom of the pool, and returned to the shore. At this time, Yang Spring and Yin Spring had completely turned into ordinary pool water due to the dissipation of the dragon bones of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King.
This also means that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has completely disappeared in this space-time. The absorption process seems short, but Jun Yi doesn't know how long he has been at the bottom of the pool. The process of the Ice Dragon King rebuilding his physical body alone was extremely long. Jun Yi estimates that it must have taken at least seven days.
"Next, we'll go to Spirit City to absorb Divine Power."
