Chapter 14: The Power of Electrolux
This time, the departure was much less complicated. Having broken through his limits, Du Bushi directly tore open a space rift, bringing Du Qianjue to the sky above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the next second.
Du Qianjue looked at the red and white spring water beneath him, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Brother Tianmeng, wake up and get to work!"
"Huh? What's going on, Qianjue?" The Skydream Iceworm asked groggily, "Are we heading to the Extreme North?"
"We're not going to the Extreme North, but I need your help to fuse my second martial soul! I can't do this without your assistance!" Du Qianjue said calmly.
"Huh? Why not go to the Extreme North? Can the martial soul you've chosen yourself be better than the one I picked for you?" The Skydream Iceworm frowned, now fully awake. "You need to understand that the martial soul I picked for you is the Ultimate Ice. Do you know what the ultimate attribute means? It's the ruler of ice!"
"Oh? The Ultimate Ice, is it stronger than the Ice Dragon King, one of the Nine Dragon Kings?" Du Qianjue asked nonchalantly.
"Of course, it is... what?!" The Skydream Iceworm exclaimed in shock, "The Ice Dragon King? You're not joking, right?"
Although the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was indeed powerful, the Skydream Iceworm had to admit that compared to the Ice Dragon King, the Ice Empress fell short.
The Skydream Iceworm looked around through Du Qianjue's spiritual power.
"Wow, this place is quite mystical, with so many medicinal herbs, and that red and white lake... it even feels a bit dangerous to me..." The Skydream Iceworm muttered.
"Uncle, let's go down. I'll need to enter the lake soon. Please stand guard nearby," Du Qianjue said.
"Guarding you is not a problem... but are you really planning to go into that lake? Even I wouldn't take it lightly," Du Bushi frowned.
"Uncle, have you forgotten about the Fiery Heart and the Ice Crystal Marrow?" Du Qianjue smiled. "These two celestial herbs grew alongside this lake. Having undergone body training with their essence, I'm no longer afraid of the Ice and Fire Springs."
"Alright, just be careful," Du Bushi nodded reluctantly.
Giving Du Bushi a reassuring look, Du Qianjue stepped towards the lake. The term "lake" wasn't quite accurate since its diameter was less than twenty meters, but it seemed bottomless.
Standing at the edge, Du Qianjue didn't immediately dive in. Before he could do so, he needed to communicate with the Skydream Iceworm.
"Brother Tianmeng, see that lake? This place is a treasure formed by the corpses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings after the Divine War. All the plants here grow ten times faster, but that's not the main point."
"The main point is, beneath this lake lies the bones and even the souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. I need you to guide the Ice Dragon King's soul into my soulless martial soul. Do you understand the benefits? With the Ice Dragon King martial soul, I'm destined to become a god."
Du Qianjue wasn't worried about the Skydream Iceworm's hesitation, as the allure of godhood was irresistible.
At first, the Skydream Iceworm thought Du Qianjue was crazy for wanting the Ice Dragon King as his martial soul, but then it realized this was the Ice Dragon King!
One of the Nine Dragon Kings, stronger than Di Tian!
The Skydream Iceworm's eyes turned red with excitement.
"Let's do it!"
"Great! Brother Tianmeng, you're ambitious. Let's give it our all!" Du Qianjue's eyes also showed a hint of madness.
Everything was ready, with Tang San's divine sense withdrawn, Du Bushi providing protection as an Ultimate Douluo, the Skydream Iceworm assisting, and the Ice and Fire body training for protection.
How could he hesitate at the final step?
With a splash, Du Qianjue dove into the spring water, going deeper and deeper.
This was a world of only red and white, without any bubbles, quiet and lifeless, filled with dense ice and fire elements. The deeper he went, the denser the elements became, and the greater the pressure.
Without the Fiery Heart and Ice Crystal Marrow training, even a titled Douluo would be instantly vaporized in such concentrated ice and fire elements.
At a depth of five hundred meters, the dense elements made it extremely difficult for Du Qianjue to move. At eight hundred meters, he could barely make any progress.
At nine hundred and fifty meters, the immense pressure nearly caused him to lose consciousness.
Thankfully, at this depth, the Skydream Iceworm became excited.
"I sense it, the soul of the ice!"
In Du Qianjue's mind, the ten radiant golden suns formed by the Skydream Iceworm's essence began pulsating, trying to capture the Ice Dragon King's soul to make it Du Qianjue's martial soul.
But a majestic and noble power, terrifying in its might, resisted the Skydream Iceworm's attempts.
For half an hour, the Skydream Iceworm made no progress.
Just as Du Qianjue was about to give up and retreat, a sorrowful sigh echoed.
"Sigh, what you're doing is useless. That power is divine; only a godly power can counter it."
"Old man, you're awake!" Du Qianjue was overjoyed upon hearing this voice.
This was the great Electrolux!
"Hehe, little one, though I don't know why you seem to recognize me, it doesn't matter. Since I've been residing within you for so long, it's time to pay some rent," Electrolux chuckled.
"My name is Electrolux. To achieve your goal, we'll need this big bug's power. Though its power level is lacking, there's enough of it to get the job done."
"Mr. Electrolux, please go ahead!" Du Qianjue said seriously.
"Alright," Electrolux nodded slightly, then waved his hand, instantly shattering two of the ten golden suns representing the Skydream Iceworm's essence. The gathered light formed a majestic scepter in his hand.
"I must say, the power system of your world is fascinating. I'm very curious about why it evolves in such a peculiar way," Electrolux mused with a hint of amusement.
But now wasn't the time for idle chatter.
Electrolux waved his scepter, and a sacred gray light filled the lake bottom, dimming the intense ice and fire elements.
Soon, two transparent dragon souls, one red and one blue, appeared, roaring silently.
"Two fallen dragons, formidable in life, but that's all in the past," Electrolux smiled faintly.
"Purify, souls..."
