Chapter 217: The Water and Fire Dragon Kings

"Is that the place where the two great Dragon Kings were buried?"

Shi Quan's eyes snapped open.

The extremely hot and cold aura in the surroundings was countless times stronger than that of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; the ground around the dragon corpses had completely crystallized, turning into pure water and fire energy, and Shi Quan's Earth Domain could only probe these peripheral energies.

As soon as Shi Quan's Mental Power probed slightly, the water and fire energy within would directly scorch and freeze his consciousness, causing mental damage.

If he could not resolve the barrier formed by the surrounding water and fire energy, even if Shi Quan used the power of his martial soul to descend ten thousand feet underground, he would be unable to enter the burial site, let alone retrieve the bones.

"This is indeed a problem."

Shi Quan continued his descent while beginning to think of a solution; with a thought, he remembered the Dragon God Heart he had obtained from the Dragon Valley.

Although Shi Quan had obtained the Dragon God Heart, he could not use it at will; to him, the Dragon God Heart was merely a pure energy crystal, and while he could borrow the energy within to a certain extent, it was very limited, and he could not absorb it at will at all.

Although it was not of much use now, it was a Divine Artifact after all; since he had it in his hands, it might be useful in the future, and even if it were useless, using it to trade with the Silver Dragon King or Di Tian would be a good choice.

Thinking this, Shi Quan took the Dragon God Heart out of his Hundred Treasure Bag; as the source of the Dragon God's power, the Dragon God Heart possessed the aura of the Dragon God, and even the death of a True Dragon involved the existence of a dragon soul.

"Hum!"

Suddenly, Shi Quan could sense a violent tremor coming from beneath the earth, and as the tremor arrived, he seemed to hear two heaven-shaking dragon roars.

What came into view was a world of interlaced red and blue, half fire-red and half water-blue, followed by the broken remains of the two great Dragon Kings on the left and right.

The remains of the Water Dragon King on the right were no better; both dragon horns were completely shattered with not a trace remaining, and most terrifying of all was a huge wound over three hundred meters long on its dragon belly, looking hideous and terrifying.

Two humming sounds came, and two rays of light, one red and one blue, condensed beside the two great Dragon Kings respectively.

Thinking this, the Reincarnation Soul Core in his dantian moved slightly, and the aura of Reincarnation merged into the Dragon God Heart; the nine-colored Dragon God Heart was instantly rendered with a gorgeous luster.

If Shi Quan had still had a trace of doubt about the strength of the two great Dragon Kings before, now, feeling it at close range, he could be certain that the strength of these two great Dragon Kings before their deaths was at least that of a deity, and a terrifying pressure permeated the entire space.

Unlike the Dragon Bones in the Dragon Tomb, perhaps because the two great Dragon Kings had ascended to the position of deities, their remains were preserved extremely well, without the slightest decay.

Shi Quan seemed to hear the sound of crystals shattering, and a huge gap had cracked open on the giant cocoon.

Divine Beast-level deities like the Water and Fire Dragon Kings would certainly have residual dragon souls; if they could sense the aura of the Dragon God, the water and fire energy might not harm him.

The dragon souls condensed, their bodies exceeding a hundred meters, exactly the appearance of the two great Dragon Kings in miniature; the huge dragon souls landed without speaking, their two pairs of giant dragon eyes deep and full of wisdom, looking intently at the Dragon God Heart in Shi Quan's hand.

Dead for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, the flesh uncorrupted, and the residual might still this strong—if not a deity, what could they be?

The remains of the two great Dragon Kings were both a thousand meters long, and the huge cavern was over five thousand meters in both length and width; the surroundings of the cavern were all sparkling fire-red crystals and water-blue crystals, and it was precisely these crystals of different colors that illuminated this huge cavern.

Just one glance gave Shi Quan the illusion that he could not look directly at it; this feeling was somewhat similar to the Dragon God's dragon soul, but not as powerful as the Dragon God's dragon soul.

It was hard to imagine how tragic the battle had been back then.

Just as Shi Quan was about to land, he felt as if he were being supported by some force from beneath, his figure pausing in mid-air before he was slowly placed on the ground.

The Dragon God Heart in Shi Quan's hand also seemed to be drawn, its nine-colored light instantly merging into the earth; in Shi Quan's perception, this nine-colored light merged into the red and blue interlaced giant cocoon ten thousand feet deep in the blink of an eye.

The pitch-black world dissipated, and Shi Quan only felt his eyes brighten as everything before him was replaced by red and blue light.

It was just that both corpses were exceptionally broken; the remains of the two great Dragon Kings were covered in dense wounds of all sizes, and even the Fire Dragon King on the left was missing a dragon claw, and a large section of its dragon tail was gone, while the huge dragon eye on the right was still stained with blood, yet it was empty, missing an eye entirely.

Then, a powerful pulling force erupted from the giant cocoon.

Shi Quan could sense that there was no hostility in this force, so he couldn't be bothered to struggle, letting this force pull him toward the depths of the earth.

Crack, crack.

The Fire Dragon King on the left raised its sharp claw and hooked it lightly toward Shi Quan; Shi Quan immediately felt as if something in his mind had been touched, and a streak of nine-colored light flew out from between his brows.

The light split into two and merged into the bodies of the two great dragon souls.

The figures of the two great Dragon Kings paused slightly; after their huge dragon eyes met, the two dragons turned in unison to look at Shi Quan, bent their hind legs, slowly knelt before Shi Quan, lowered their heads, and performed a grand salute to him.

"Thank you, human!"

Two sincere voices came, making Shi Quan tremble involuntarily.

"It's nothing." Shi Quan waved his hand; it seemed the two great Dragon Kings had sensed everything that happened in the Dragon Valley from the power just now.

"Human, can you help us be reborn as well?" the Fire Dragon King on the left asked directly.

"I can." Shi Quan rubbed his nose.

"Human, if you have any needs, just say them; by virtue of your kindness to my dragon race, we, the remnant souls, will certainly do our utmost," the Water Dragon King on the right said directly.

"The two seniors should both have a True Dragon Soul Bone left, right?" Shi Quan also said directly.

The Water Dragon King shook its head and said, "Human, you already possess the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone in your body and can no longer accommodate our soul bones."

Shi Quan also hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Two seniors, I am not asking for this True Dragon Soul Bone for myself, but for my two lovers."

The Fire Dragon King said directly, "Human, although we have fallen and our deity positions have been broken, the soul bones contain a portion of pure elemental deity power that ordinary people cannot withstand; I am afraid you will be disappointed."

Shi Quan then said, "Two seniors, my two lovers have special constitutions and have been nourished by the power of the Dragon God's dragon soul; I would like to let them try."

After the two great Dragon Kings were silent for a moment, the Water Dragon King nodded in agreement, "Very well!"

"Then I will trouble the two seniors to send me out."

As he spoke, two streams of energy, one blue and one red, merged into Shi Quan's body; then his body flew up, passed through the crystal cave wall at the top of the cavern, and merged into a liquid that was half-cold and half-hot, which carried him upward.

"Is this the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Shi Quan was surprised to find that the two great Dragon Kings had actually sent him into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; the spring water carried him upward continuously, and the originally extremely cold and hot spring water now felt very warm and cool, the scorching and icy auras having all dissipated, and deep within the spring, there was not even the slightest feeling of pressure from the water.

"It seems this should be related to the energy the two great Dragon Kings injected into my body," Shi Quan thought to himself, and as he continued to float upward, the scene before his eyes became clearer and clearer.

Splash.

The next moment, Shi Quan's figure leaped out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

With the protection of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' power, Shi Quan's clothes did not even suffer the slightest damage.

Looking at the dense Blue Silver Grass around him, Shi Quan had not returned to look since he planted these Blue Silver Grasses here last time, and only now did he notice that these Blue Silver Grasses were a bit excessively lush; half the area of the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had already been occupied by the Blue Silver Grass.

The living space for the herbs in the medicine garden had been drastically compressed.

However, these Blue Silver Grasses still had a limit and had not directly deprived these herbs of their living space; otherwise, with so many Blue Silver Grasses, if they were willing, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would likely have become a world of Blue Silver Grass.

Just in case, Shi Quan still gave these Blue Silver Grasses a reminder before he leaped up and climbed out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Lingling, Zhuqing, Yan Yan, Grandpa Dugu."

The four of them turned their heads, not expecting that Shi Quan would actually emerge from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Xiao Quan, didn't you go down from here? How did you come out from over there?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.

"Because when I came out, the two great Dragon Kings used their power to send me out."

"You found it in just ten days?" Dugu Bo took a step forward and arrived beside Shi Quan, "Was that tremor from before caused by you?"

"It's been ten days?"

"I actually meditated for so long?" Shi Quan thought to himself, and at the same time nodded in response, "The earthquake indeed had something to do with me."

As for the earthquake, Shi Quan guessed it might have been the commotion caused by the dragon's roar.

"The situation of the two great Dragon Kings is somewhat different from the situation in the Dragon Valley..."

Shi Quan then told the four of them what he had seen and heard underground.

"These two True Dragon Soul Bones, I intend to give the Water Dragon King's to Lingling, and Yan Yan, you absorb the Fire Dragon King's." After speaking, Shi Quan looked at Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, there are only two True Dragon Soul Bones from the Dragon Kings."

Zhu Zhuqing waved her hand directly and said, "It's fine."

Shi Quan pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his embrace and whispered into her ear, "Although you don't have a True Dragon Soul Bone, I have prepared something else for you; you will know later, but for now, it's a secret."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks immediately flushed slightly, and she nodded softly, saying, "I understand."

"Xiao Quan, are you going to take Yan Yan and the others down now?" Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan with a burning gaze.

"Grandpa Dugu, you want to go too?" Hearing this, Shi Quan immediately understood what Dugu Bo meant.

"Yes." Dugu Bo nodded, "This old man also wants to go and see the legendary Dragon Kings..."
