Chapter 175: The Dragon Soul Appears

If this Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone is removed, Yu Tianyun will lose the ability to regenerate a severed limb. Moreover, once the right leg is missing, he cannot absorb any new soul bone.

Unless he waits until Ye Lingling ascends to Title Douluo, at which point her healing ability might help him regenerate a severed limb.

But that would still take about ten years, and it assumes Ye Lingling can obtain various fortunate encounters.

Moreover, he is truly reluctant to replace the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone. Because when he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and obtained the sixth Soul Ring, he was delighted to discover that his own Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone had also evolved to a two‑hundred‑thousand‑year age!

This shows that his soul bone, like the External Attached Soul Bone, can also evolve! In the future, evolving into a million‑year soul bone is not impossible. This soul bone shares the same lineage as his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, so in theory it is undoubtedly the most suitable soul bone for him, as inseparable as his own bones.

Therefore, for these two soul bones, Yu Tianyun simply cannot bear to replace them. He can only silently pray in his heart that the Ice‑Fire Dragon King's soul bones are not located at the torso bone and the right leg bone.

He stops overthinking, knowing that pondering further now is useless. His goal this time is to obtain the soul bones of the two great Dragon Kings, and since the soul bones are not yet in his possession, further worry only adds needless anxiety. Only when he actually secures the soul bones will he have the right to choose.

Thus, Yu Tianyun resolutely began his descent.

Because the extreme cold and heat of this spring's energy have no effect on him, but rather make him feel very comfortable, Yu Tianyun's initial descent speed is rapid; enveloped by soul power, he moves like a swimming fish, streamlined, swiftly gliding toward the deep spring.

However, although unaffected by the extreme cold and heat, the water pressure continuously increases as his depth deepens.

Facing this, he can only rely on his exceptionally robust physique to endure. Fortunately, Yu Tianyun's physique is indeed strong enough; by his estimate, he can reach the bottom, though his descent speed will clearly slow to adapt to the massive pressure.

During the continued descent, Yu Tianyun, with his Dragon Transformation body, stubbornly resists the water pressure. The fine dragon scales covering him rhythmically ripple, continuously shedding the immense pressure. At the same time, he still has the energy to use his powerful spirit power to survey the terrain.

The space beneath the Ice‑Fire Dual Apparatus Eye is not large at the start of the descent, but as the depth increases, its diameter continuously expands. Yu Tianyun quickly deduced that this space must be shaped like a circular platform. He surmised that the underwater cavity must be enormous, otherwise it could not accommodate the massive corpses of the two great Dragon Kings.

As time passed, after descending for an hour, Yu Tianyun finally arrived; he estimates the distance from the surface to be nearly ten thousand meters, and the surrounding environment becomes more open.

Logically, at nearly ten thousand meters of depth, it should be pitch black, with nothing visible to the touch.

But here is different; the surrounding pool water emits a shimmering blue and red glow, sufficient for visibility.

Yu Tianyun had already used spirit power to probe before actually arriving, yet he still feels shocked, his gaze fixed firmly on the spot directly below, unable to look away for a long time.

What appears in his view are two immensely massive dragon corpses, roughly a kilometer long each. Of course, sheer size alone does not shock him; he has seen mountain Dragon King skeletons larger than this, but the two dragon corpses before him are remarkably intact, with flesh still present, exuding an aura that is both colossal and noble.

Yu Tianyun feels this overwhelmingly awe‑inspiring aura and feels as tiny as an ant. His gaze sharpens, noticing that each of the two dragon corpses has a striking wound on its chest, very conspicuous. Because the corpses lie on their sides, he can see the huge flesh tear that extends from the chest all the way to the tail.

Yu Tianyun knows this wound must have been caused by the Asura Sword, resembling the death of the mountain Dragon King.

After standing dazed for a moment, Yu Tianyun shakes his head sharply and stops musing. Though the two great Dragon Kings and the Asura deity are powerful, he is confident he can become a god‑level cultivator and surpass them. With the matter at hand urgent, he immediately begins searching for the soul bones! He approaches closely, scrutinizing the two dragon corpses; although the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings have massive wounds in their abdomens, no parts are missing, and they are preserved very intact.

But after a moment, Yu Tianyun's gaze locks onto the Dragon Claws of the two Dragon Kings. The two corpses are close, essentially facing each other and pressed together, like a pair of lovers embracing in sleep.

"Even in death they have to love?" Yu Tianyun can't help feeling speechless; the two dragons with opposing elements somehow ended up together, tightly embracing even in death.

He stops pondering the dragons' romance; what catches his attention are the Ice Dragon King's right foreclaw and the Fire Dragon King's left foreclaw.

The energy fluctuations at these two spots are clearly different from elsewhere, so Yu Tianyun deduces that the bones at these locations are their soul bones.

"Good, they don't duplicate any of the soul bones I already have," Yu Tianyun feels relieved; he is very satisfied with this result.

Moreover, at this moment a ambition arises in his heart: he intends to absorb only million‑year soul bones from now on, finding ten‑thousand‑year soul bones somewhat unappealing.

Currently, the soul bones he possesses are either god‑level soul bones, or External Attached Soul Bones and the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone that can evolve into god‑level; therefore, ten‑thousand‑year soul bones truly hold no appeal for Yu Tianyun now.

He originally planned to absorb Xiao Wu's soul bone, but now thinks that although Xiao Wu's soul bone has very useful abilities, its age is indeed a bit low, somewhat unsuitable for him.

With the two god‑level soul bones before him, Yu Tianyun now only needs soul bones for his left leg and head. Currently, on Douluo Star there happen to be two Soul Beasts with nearly million‑year cultivation: the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is easy to find; that creature, like the Silver Dragon King, is reclusive, nesting in the demon whale sea region, so when his cultivation is sufficient to confront it, he can go straight there.

However, Yu Tianyun is uncertain about the location of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. It might be sleeping in some remote northern region, or drifting southward with the ocean currents. What is certain is that it is not currently in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After Ho Kaoyu absorbed the Soul Ring of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the silkworm once said it had been imprisoned in the Star Dou Great Forest for less than ten thousand years.

Thus Yu Tianyun feels a bit helpless; he can only spend some time later to search the extreme north.
