Chapter 16: Unknown if Huang Eats This? Martial Soul Mutation, Jade Phosphor Dragon Empress

The extreme cold and extreme heat of the spring water instantly enveloped his body, but he seemed to feel nothing, his figure diving rapidly like a swimming fish, heading straight for the bottom of the spring.

As he dived, the temperature of the spring water became increasingly extreme.

The ice-blue cold air and the vermilion flames intertwined, forming a stark contrast. However, Zhexian's descent speed remained swift, completely unaffected.

Soon, those two enormous dragon corpses appeared before his eyes.

The ice-blue dragon corpse and the vermilion dragon corpse lay quietly at the bottom of the spring, their bodies as massive as mountains, their scales still flickering with a faint light, as if the majesty of their lives still lingered.

"As expected, the blood of these two dragons has not yet dried, and thus their dragon souls have been able to remain," Zhexian whispered to himself, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

He slowly approached the ice-blue dragon corpse and reached out to gently touch the cold scales.

Instantly, a bone-chilling cold spread up from his fingertips, as if it wanted to freeze his entire body.

However, Zhexian only frowned slightly, then circulated the True Phoenix Power within his body to suppress this chill.

"The power of extreme cold, this is somewhat interesting," Zhexian said in a low voice, then waved his hand, and a golden flame surged from his palm, transforming into a True Phoenix Shadow that circled above the ice-blue dragon corpse.

The True Phoenix Shadow let out a clear phoenix cry, and the golden flames instantly enveloped the ice-blue dragon corpse.

The powers of extreme cold and extreme heat clashed once again, erupting with dazzling light. The scales of the ice-blue dragon corpse gradually melted under the scorching of the flames, revealing the bright red flesh beneath.

Zhexian's gaze was cold and sharp; he raised his hand and grabbed, and the blood of the ice-blue dragon corpse was immediately drawn out by him, turning into an ice-blue bloodline that hovered in the spring.

"Dragon blood... the energy contained within is quite a bit stronger than that of the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Empress."

Following this, he turned and walked toward the vermilion dragon corpse.

The scales of the vermilion dragon corpse emitted a scorching light, as if they wanted to burn everything in the vicinity to ashes.

When Zhexian approached, he immediately felt a scorching high temperature rushing toward his face, as if even the air were about to be ignited.

"The power of extreme heat, it is somewhat similar to the True Phoenix Fire," Zhexian said in a low voice, then waved his hand, and the True Phoenix Shadow appeared once again, suppressing the extreme heat power of the dragon corpse.

"This trip can be considered a stroke of fortune," Zhexian said in a low voice, then extracted the remaining blood from within the two dragon corpses.

After collecting the blood of the two dragon corpses, Zhexian did not stop there. His gaze swept over the bodies of the two dragons, and a flash of past memories crossed his eyes.

"A dragon corpse that has been dead for ten thousand years, I wonder if Huang eats this..."

"Since I have come, I naturally cannot return empty-handed," he said in a low voice, then waved his hand, taking both dragon corpses into his sleeve.

Just at this moment, the two extreme powers of the Ice and Fire Dual Springs began to boil.

Zhexian's eyes flickered slightly, and his figure continued to dive like a swimming fish, reaching the very depths of the Ice and Fire Dual Springs.

The pressure and temperature at the bottom of the spring had reached an extreme; the ice-blue cold air and the vermilion flames began to intertwine chaotically, forming a chaotic collision of energy.

However, Zhexian seemed to be in a realm of nothingness, his figure as steady as Mount Tai, landing firmly at the very bottom.

He stood at the bottom of the spring, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings, a trace of indifference in his eyes.

The two extreme powers of the Ice and Fire Dual Springs had begun to boil; having lost the suppression of the dragon corpses, the two opposing powers of ice and fire were gradually spiraling out of control.

"If this precious land were to be destroyed, it would truly be a pity."

Zhexian spoke indifferently, then waved his hand, his fingertips tracing profound runes in the air.

The runes emerged following his movements, flickering with golden light, and gradually condensed into a complex array.

The runes condensed in the center of the spring, forming a massive energy barrier that firmly locked the two powers in place.

As the array was activated, the two extreme powers of the Ice and Fire Dual Springs gradually stabilized; the ice-blue cold air and the vermilion flames were no longer violent, but flowed slowly, as if separated by an invisible force, and balance was restored.

After finishing all this, Zhexian did not leave immediately, but stood at the bottom of the spring, gazing deeply at the array, as if pondering something.

"This place might still have other value..."

Zhexian whispered to himself, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, revealing a cold smile.

After he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he swam rapidly toward the surface of the spring.

Several days later, Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes.

He discovered that he was still lying in the Ice and Fire Dual Springs, but his body no longer felt the torture of extreme cold and extreme heat; instead, it felt incomparably comfortable.

After walking out of the spring water, ice-blue patterns and vermilion flames were faintly intertwined on his skin, as if two dragon shadows were swimming within his body.

"This is..." Dugu Bo felt the changes in his body in surprise, then revealed a look of wild joy.

"The toxins in this old man's body... they have actually disappeared!!"

Dugu Bo stood beside the Ice and Fire Dual Springs, looking down at his own hands, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.

He felt the surging power within his body, as if every meridian were filled with infinite energy.

Not only that, his martial soul also seemed to have undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change.

With a thought, he released his martial soul instantly.

The originally green Jade Phosphor Serpent Empress martial soul had now transformed into a massive dragon-shaped shadow, circling behind him.

The dragon shadow was covered in patterns of intertwined ice-blue and vermilion, its scales flickering with dazzling light, and a sense of majesty and dominance emanated from the dragon's eyes, as if a true Dragon Empress had descended.

"This... is this a martial soul mutation?!" Dugu Bo muttered in shock, his voice filled with unconcealable excitement.

He could clearly feel that his martial soul was no longer the simple Jade Phosphor Serpent Empress, but had evolved into a higher-level existence—the Jade Phosphor Dragon Empress!

Ice-blue cold air and vermilion flames flowed around the dragon shadow, as if containing the dual powers of extreme cold and extreme heat.

Dugu Bo raised his hand and waved it gently; the shadow of the Jade Phosphor Dragon Empress moved accordingly, opening its mouth to spray a beam of energy where ice and fire were intertwined, instantly blasting a giant rock in the distance into powder.

"What a powerful martial soul!"

Dugu Bo could not help but exclaim, his eyes filled with excited light.

Although he had been quite proud of his martial soul before, compared to the Jade Phosphor Dragon Empress before him, it was still far inferior.

Even his soul power, which had been unable to break through due to the obstruction of the toxins, had now reached level ninety-five!

Dugu Bo pondered to himself that these changes must have something to do with that Zhexian...

Thinking of this, he could not help but look for Zhexian's figure, only to find that he had long since left this place.

"This favor, this old man will remember," Dugu Bo said in a low voice, then looked toward the distance, a flash of determination in his eyes.

From this day forward, he would no longer be that Poison Douluo plagued by toxins, but a Super Douluo possessing the Jade Phosphor Dragon Empress martial soul!

……

At the same time, Zhexian stood on a high mountain in the distance, looking down at everything below, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly to reveal a trace of a cold smile.

"Dugu Bo is quite a decent chess piece." He whispered to himself, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

On his left hand, a small True Phoenix circled and flew.

Zhexian did not stay for long; he turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the clouds and mist.

His plan had only just begun.
