The Dragon God—
The first ruler of all Soul Beasts, the creator of the Dragon God Realm.
The Dragon God—
The strongest deity, eternal and indestructible. Even the combined might of all the Divine Kings couldn't truly kill him.
His power originated from the primal energy of creation itself—
The forces of destruction and genesis, the most fundamental and essential energies of the universe.
As he mastered these forces,
the Dragon God's bloodline continuously evolved. During this evolution,
he gained dominion over nine attributes: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time, and stability.
With his mastery over these nine attributes,
the nine Dragon Kings emerged under his command: the Time Dragon King, Mountain Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, Ice Dragon King, Earth Dragon King, White Dragon King, Holy Dragon King, Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and Jade Dragon King.
Among them,
the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King both met their demise in a single location—
the very place Lu Yunzhou now stood: the Icefire Yin Yang Well!
"The Titan Giant Ape's heart blood has already been refined. Now, with the essence of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King added, achieving the peak of body cultivation will be inevitable," Lu Yunzhou mused, a resolute determination flashing across his face.
Indeed,
the reason Lu Yunzhou came to the Sunset Forest was to claim the essence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings!
Without hesitation,
realizing the potential to strengthen himself and hasten his progress in body cultivation, he quickened his pace, heading deeper into the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
As time passed,
Lu Yunzhou drew ever closer to the bottom of the spring, where the overwhelming aura of energy grew more intense and oppressive with every step.
He was certain—
if an ordinary Titled Douluo, or even one at the pinnacle of the Titled Douluo realm, were to stand in his current position,
they wouldn't last more than three seconds before perishing in a gruesome explosion.
Fortunately,
Lu Yunzhou had long since attained the Golden Core stage. Without this foundation, he wouldn't have dared step into such a treacherous place.
"Fortune favors the bold," he thought. Dangerous places are where the greatest opportunities lie.
The path of cultivation is one of seizing heaven's fortune and unraveling celestial mysteries. To falter in the face of danger is to renounce the essence of cultivation itself.
With no hesitation or guilt, only excitement and joy in his heart, Lu Yunzhou pressed forward to claim the essence of the two Dragon Kings.
At last,
Lu Yunzhou arrived at his destination, his feet landing firmly on the ground.
"This is the place."
Closing his eyes,
he extended his immense spiritual senses, vast as the ocean, to confirm his target—the essence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings lay just beneath his feet.
Taking a deep breath,
Lu Yunzhou circulated the mana within him and executed one of the seventy-two arts of Earthly Fiend: Soul Summoning.
Soul Summoning,
a technique of the "Art" sect,
was an ancient ritual for invoking spirits, often used to communicate with departed souls.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, though once mighty, had been dead for untold ages. Their spiritual energy or soul power might have long since dissipated. However, with a stroke of luck, a fragment of their consciousness might remain.
By casting this art,
Lu Yunzhou hoped to summon any remnants of their spirit for a conversation. If successful, he might persuade them to willingly offer their essence.
If not,
he would have no choice but to forcefully absorb their power.
As the mystical art unfolded,
the bottom of the Icefire Yin Yang Well trembled violently, as if struck by an earth dragon.
Suddenly,
a voice resonated through the depths:
"A human? How is this possible? A lowly human here? What madness is this?"
Before Lu Yunzhou could respond,
another, gentler voice followed:
"Greetings, human. Could you tell me what the world outside is like now? And the Dragon God—is he well?"
These voices, without a doubt, belonged to the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King.
The Fire Dragon King was male; the Ice Dragon King, female.
Hearing their words, Lu Yunzhou replied,
"The Dragon God is dead. The outside world is ruled by humans, including the Divine Realm. After the Dragon God's fall, his essence split into two. The Golden Dragon King is now imprisoned in the Divine Realm, while the Silver Dragon King hides in a forest on the continent, recuperating."
The Fire Dragon King's astonished voice immediately roared,
"How dare those wretched Divine Realm fools imprison the Golden Dragon King?! Do they not fear the Dragon God's return, when he will crush them all and slaughter every last one of them?!"
With his fury,
the fire energy at the spring's core surged, turning even more volatile.
Frowning,
Lu Yunzhou narrowed his eyes.
"Xue'er is above, tempering her divine body. I cannot allow interruptions now," he thought.
In an instant,
he acted decisively. "Enough!" he barked, releasing an overwhelming wave of mana that crushed down on the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' spirits.
The Fire Dragon King, proud as ever, refused to yield.
"How dare a mere human challenge me!" he roared, resisting with all his might. Fire energy condensed around him, surging to a level akin to a Primary God.
"Human, prepare to die! Flames of Annihilation!"
