Remnant Souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, an Agreement Reached, Absorbing God Bones!

Dai Fei took a deep breath, feeling the surging power of ice and fire within him, and gazed resolutely into the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He knew that the remains of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were very likely hidden below, perhaps even their Soul Bones.

Although his Soul Power had not directly increased, his immunity to ice and fire and immunity to all poisons had already benefited him greatly.

Even so, Dai Fei was not satisfied. He wanted more.

"Since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed."

Dai Fei murmured under his breath, a flash of determination in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he leaped in and plunged toward the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As he descended, the temperature around him began to change sharply, now bitterly cold, now unbearably hot.

Dai Fei circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art. The golden film of light over his body kept the power of ice and fire at bay, protecting him from harm.

After descending several hundred meters, Dai Fei's view suddenly opened up.

He had arrived in an enormous underground space. The rock walls all around were covered in patterns of ice crystals and flames, as though telling of an earth-shaking battle that had once taken place here.

At the center of the space, two enormous sets of remains lay quietly on the ground.

One was ice-blue from end to end, radiating a bone-piercing chill. It was the Ice Dragon King's remains;

The other was crimson as fire, and the air around it warped from the heat. It was the Fire Dragon King's remains.

Though the two had fallen many years ago, their remains still radiated a heart-stopping pressure, as though the majesty they had possessed in life still lingered.

The sight before him truly stunned Dai Fei. The visual impact was simply too powerful!

"So these are the remains of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King..."

Dai Fei was shaken, and a flicker of awe passed through his eyes.

He floated slowly toward the two sets of remains and felt a powerful fluctuation of energy.

He knew that the remains were very likely to contain the Soul Bones of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

Just as he was about to investigate further, however, both sets of remains suddenly gave off a faint light.

Immediately afterward, two illusory figures slowly rose from the remains. They were the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

"Human, how dare you intrude upon our resting place!"

The Ice Dragon King's remnant soul spoke coldly, his voice like ten-thousand-year-old ice, enough to make anyone shiver.

"A mere human Soul King dares covet our power? You really don't know whether to live or die!" the Fire Dragon King's remnant soul roared, a searing presence rushing toward Dai Fei.

Dai Fei's heart tightened. He swiftly circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art, the power of Geng Metal and Heavenly Fiend surging wildly within him as he prepared to meet any possible attack.

But just as he was about to explain, the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King suddenly froze.

"This is... the presence of the Sacred Beast White Tiger?!"

The Ice Dragon King's remnant soul stared at Dai Fei in shock, disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"How is this possible?! How could a human possess the pressure of the Sacred Beast White Tiger's status?!"

The Fire Dragon King's remnant soul was equally shocked, his voice trembling slightly.

Something stirred in Dai Fei's heart, and he understood at once.

His Geng Metal Sacred Art was the original power of the Sacred Beast White Tiger. Although most of its power had been sealed by the restrictions of the world's rules, it still retained the most fundamental pressure of the Sacred Beast White Tiger's status.

It was this pressure that had shocked the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

People of the lower realm might not know, but in a very distant age of antiquity, they had heard the Dragon God speak of the Sacred Beast White Tiger.

Even so, it had only been a legend to them. They had seen pictures but never the Sacred Beast White Tiger in person.

It was said that the Sacred Beast White Tiger was a supreme, greater powerhouse of all heavens and myriad worlds, an existence above the creator god and this universe!

They had not expected to have the chance to encounter the Sacred Beast White Tiger here today!

For a moment, both of them had exceedingly complicated feelings.

Why would the Sacred Beast White Tiger choose a human instead of the Soul Beast Clan?

In their eyes, the Sacred Beast White Tiger belonged to the Soul Beast Clan too!

"Pardon me, seniors. I mean no harm."

Dai Fei cupped his fists in salute and spoke respectfully. "I obtained the Sacred Beast White Tiger's inheritance through a chance encounter. I came today hoping to borrow your power to improve myself further."

"Ah, it seems this is Heaven's will!"

The remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King exchanged a glance, a complicated look flashing in their eyes.

A moment later, the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul spoke slowly. "Human, since you have obtained the Sacred Beast White Tiger's inheritance, you are an existence on the same level as us. Though we have fallen, a trace of our remnant souls remains. Meeting you today can be considered fate."

"Indeed."

The Fire Dragon King's remnant soul nodded, a trace of emotion in his voice. "In life, we were First-Level Gods of the Divine Realm, but we fell in a war between gods, and our remains became this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Now our remnant souls are also about to dissipate. If you agree to one condition, we are willing to give you all the power of our remains and remnant souls."

Dai Fei's heart leaped with joy, and he hurriedly asked, "Please tell me, seniors. As long as I can do it, I will do everything in my power."

The Ice Dragon King's remnant soul said gravely, "Our condition is simple. If you become a god in the future, you must open a passage for Soul Beasts to ascend and preserve the spark that will allow Soul Beasts to carry on. Are you willing?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Dai Fei nodded solemnly. "I am willing! Soul Beasts and humans were meant to coexist. If I become a god, I will secure a place for Soul Beasts to live and become gods!"

The remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King exchanged a glance, relief flashing in their eyes.

The Ice Dragon King's remnant soul then said slowly, "Good. In that case, we will give you all the power of our remains and remnant souls."

"The person chosen by the Sacred Beast White Tiger is worthy of trust!"

"Next, we will become Torso Bones. The fusion will be rather painful, so you must endure it. Otherwise, all our efforts will have been in vain!"

As his words fell, the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King became two streaks of light and entered Dai Fei's body.

Immediately afterward, the two enormous sets of remains also began to slowly dissolve, turning into countless specks of light that gathered toward Dai Fei.

Dai Fei felt a vast surge of energy pour into his body. The power of ice and fire erupted in an instant, as though it would tear him apart.

"I refuse to believe it! Refine!!"

He clenched his teeth and swiftly circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art. The power of Geng Metal and Heavenly Fiend surged wildly within him as he tried to refine the energy.

But the power of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King was too vast. Even the Geng Metal Sacred Art could not fully refine it in a short time.

Dai Fei's body began to tremble violently. At one moment, a layer of frost formed on his skin; at the next, it was scorched red.

Under the assault of the power of ice and fire, cracks began to appear in his meridians. The intense pain nearly made him faint.

A phantom image of the Sacred Beast White Tiger appeared on his body, radiating an incomparably terrifying might!

This might was suppressing the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings!

Allowing it to fuse more fully with Dai Fei!

As the Sacred Beast White Tiger's inheritor, he absolutely could not die!

For the Sacred Beast White Tiger, that would be an absolute disgrace!
