Chapter 174: Dive

He almost forgot that the Ice Dragon King, the Fire Dragon King, and the Thunder God are mortal enemies, and even at the moment of death the Thunder God can imprint memories deep into the bloodline, let alone the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King who bear powerful dragon souls.

The dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings carry endless hatred toward the Thunder God, a hatred that seems to transcend time and space, and even after their fall it has not dissipated.

Yu Tianyun's first Soul Ring contains a trace of the Thunder God's power, so he immediately suspected that this sudden upheaval might be related to it.

After all, as the age of the first Soul Ring continuously increases, the Thunder God's aura inevitably strengthens, and it is highly possible that the dragon souls of the two great Dragon Kings sensed it and thus regarded him as a mortal enemy.

Sure enough, when Yu Tianyun condensed the Soul Ring within his body, the scene instantly fell silent; the former calm returned, the boiling spring eye steadied, the intense repulsion vanished completely, replaced by a feeling of friendliness.

Yu Tianyun finally let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, "Those two great Dragon Kings really hold grudges! How deep is their hatred toward the Thunder God? Even after their fall they are still restless."

At the same time, Yu Tianyun turned his head to glance at his blue‑black dragon tail, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Because the External Attached Soul Bone in his tail contains the aura of an evil god, it should logically be repelled, yet at this moment he did not feel such a sensation.

"Probably its age is under one hundred thousand years, hidden by the dense dragon aura on my body," Yu Tianyun could only guess. His fifth Soul Ring and the External Attached Soul Bone in his tail are both roughly ninety‑five thousand years old, just shy of one hundred thousand.

For Soul Beasts, one hundred thousand years is a huge threshold; once crossed, they evolve. Even relatively weak Soul Beasts like the Soft‑Bone Rabbit and Blue‑Silver Grass will evolve in their bloodlines into Soft‑Bone Rabbit Emperor and Blue‑Silver Emperor, and Soul Beasts that surpass one hundred thousand years develop a talent domain. Thus, Soul Rings and soul bones undergo a qualitative change after crossing one hundred thousand years.

Since there was no danger, Yu Tianyun stopped hesitating, maintained his Dragon Transformation, fully radiated his dragon aura, took a deep breath, and leapt straight into the Ice‑Fire Two‑Form Eye.

"Plop~"

A clear splash echoed, and Yu Tianyun vanished completely into the Ice‑Fire Two‑Form Eye, his figure no longer visible.

At that moment, Dugubo, who sensed the sudden change in Heaven‑and‑Earth primordial Qi, returned, but he only saw a pile of clothing and no sign of Yu Tianyun.

Dugubo stared at the rippling water surface, his brows slightly furrowed, muttering to himself, "The recent primordial Qi upheaval and those two dragon roars—could it have been caused by that brat?"

"That brat always brings trouble."

"Hope he's safe; otherwise how can I explain to Yanyan?"

Dugubo felt helpless; although he is already a level‑95 Super Douluo, he dares not touch the spring water, let alone descend to search for Yu Tianyun, so he can only guard here and wait for Yu Tianyun to emerge.

At this moment, Yu Tianyun, having plunged into the Ice‑Fire spring eye, felt no discomfort at all; he only felt comfort. His right side was cool, while his left side was warm.

When Yu Tianyun originally absorbed the immortal herbs Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Grace, the spring water would not cause fatal injury but was still quite painful. Half scorching, half icy—this dual Ice‑Fire realm would theoretically be bearable for his body, yet his spirit could not endure such extreme agony. Now, however, his bodily strength has vastly improved; his cultivation is more than twenty levels higher than his former Quasi‑Soul Sect level, and he has gained four additional soul bones. Moreover, his affinity for Ice‑Fire elements has greatly increased, so he now feels only comfort, as if a fish in water, every pore enjoying unparalleled refreshment.

"My soul power circulates faster, and my martial soul seems excited?" Yu Tianyun felt his Blue Electric Tyrannosaur Weapon Soul becoming unusually active, and this activity also accelerated his cultivation speed considerably.

With the aid of his soul power, Yu Tianyun can remain unaffected for a long time even without breathing, and his bodily functions stay normal.

He tried to open his lower eyes; what he saw was pure white and crimson, while below lay a darkness like an abyss, endless and terrifying.

Yu Tianyun did not dive immediately but lingered in place.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back! Facing the unknown, ordinary people feel fear, and Yu Tianyun is no exception.

After all, this is the domain of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings; although their dragon souls have lost consciousness, they can still unleash god‑level power, posing a mortal threat to Yu Tianyun.

He truly cannot guarantee that his dragon aura can conceal the auras of the Thunder God and the evil god at close range.

Yet just thinking of those god‑level soul bones makes it hard for Yu Tianyun to endure; wealth moves hearts, money can make ghosts grind, and those two soul bones are his most precious treasures.

Yu Tianyun gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the spirit soul core at his brow surged at full power, sending a strong spiritual wave downward. Through training with the spirit soul core, his spiritual power has been steadily increasing, and now his spiritual detection range exceeds ten thousand meters.

Yet within this Ice‑Fire Two‑Form Eye, he can only detect about two thousand meters.

A moment later, Yu Tianyun found no trace of the bottom but sensed two vast, mighty auras, enormous yet oddly familiar. He knew they emanated from the corpses of the two Dragon Kings.

"I hope the two great Dragon Kings' soul bones aren't the Trunk Bone and the Right Leg Bone," Yu Tianyun said excitedly yet with some worry. Two of the usual Six Major Soul Bone slots on his body are already occupied.

Among them, the Trunk Soul Bone and Head Soul Bone are irreplaceable; his Trunk Soul Bone has already absorbed the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone, which is undoubtedly the best fit for the trunk slot. The Mountain Dragon King, already adept at defense, provides a soul bone that enhances his body most when placed in the trunk, and Yu Tianyun is reluctant to replace it even if other Dragon Kings offer trunk soul bones.

His Right Leg Soul Bone could theoretically be swapped, but only if he possesses limb‑regeneration ability, which coincidentally is the power of the Blue‑Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone he absorbed.
