Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 73 Ice Dragon King

……

"Fine, I won't get involved in your affairs."

Seeing that Xuanming showed no sign of backing down, Dugu Bo was somewhat disappointed, but at the same time, he was completely relieved.

He had witnessed how hard Xuanming worked in his cultivation, and Dugu Yan and Ye Lan had also told him about it. Under such circumstances, even when faced with such a treasure, he did not abandon his principles or resort to any means necessary, so there was no need to doubt his character.

After all, judging from the way Xuanming and Dugu Yan got along, even if this kid agreed, he wouldn't doubt anything.

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity; a person's character can only be truly seen in difficult times.

In times of prosperity, who can't put on airs, spouting benevolence and morality, and talking about the common people?

"How do you plan to take it?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Don't tell me you're planning to eat it straight away?"

"The original soup helps digest the original food," Xuanming said.

"First, swallow both of these things in one gulp, then jump into this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and use the energy inside to promote the transformation of the toxins."

"Jump in?" Dugu Bo's eyes twitched violently.

"you sure?"

“I remember it like this, but there are some details I can’t quite recall,” Xuanming said.

"But it should be fine."

"Don't tell me things like 'should' or 'probably' when it comes to something this dangerous." Dugu Bo's face darkened.

"If you make even the slightest mistake, you'll be dead without a burial place!"

“Okay, there shouldn’t be any problem,” Xuanming said.

"..." Dugu Bo.

"Why don't you find a chance to go back to Wuhun City, take another careful look at Yue Guan's book, and try it again after you've confirmed there are no problems?"

"Stop being so indecisive." Xuanming took the jade dagger, aimed it at the distant Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, and threw it forcefully, directly cutting her to the ground.

Then, Blood Spear struck again, slashing down the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass once more.

With his domain fully activated, Xuanming, braving the terrifying cold poison emanating from the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, grabbed her and brought her to Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's side.

After the two immortal herbs met, the cold and hot auras instantly disappeared. The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass was shrouded in a light red halo, while the Fiery Apricot was shrouded in a light white mist.

Xuanming took a deep breath, grabbed the two highly poisonous immortal herbs, and stuffed them into his mouth.

The two immortal herbs melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and two streams of medicinal power quickly surged into Xuanming's body. In just a few breaths, a layer of icy blue cold air rose from the soles of Xuanming's feet, followed by a layer of fiery red heat. The alternation of red and blue, the fusion of ice and fire, looked extremely eerie.

“You…” Dugu Bo watched from the side, somewhat at a loss.

Is this kid going to die?

A burst of white light erupted as Xuanming used all his strength to suppress the conflict between the two forces. He removed his belongings and placed them on the shore before plunging into the confluence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells and sinking into the water.

Time passed second by second, and the water gradually returned to calm, but Xuanming remained motionless, seemingly having sunk completely.

Dugu Bo became increasingly anxious as he looked at the screen.

Is he really dead?
……

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, from dawn to night, and from darkness to dawn, a day and a night pass in this way.

Dugu Bo remained by the spring, staring at the still water, his feelings growing increasingly complicated.

I knew all along that this kid was stubborn and headstrong!
He should have stopped them!

What kind of bullshit information did Yue Guan have? Who knows if he made it up himself?
How can this brat believe everything he sees!

Gudong Gudong~
Just as Dugu Bo was lost in thought, bubbles suddenly appeared on the calm water.

"Still alive?" Dugu Bo suddenly snapped back to reality, stood up, and stared intently at the bubbling spot.

Time passed second by second, and two hours later, the bubbles still hadn't stopped, and Xuanming was nowhere to be seen.

Another hour passed, and all the bubbles disappeared at once. Immediately afterwards, the water surface began to shake rapidly. At first, it was just ripples on the surface, but soon the entire valley was shaking.

“This…” Dugu Bo’s expression changed drastically.

Two extremely terrifying auras overflowed from the bottom of the spring, exerting a strong suppression on his Azure Phosphorous Serpent King!
This is not a suppression of strength, but a suppression of bloodline!

What on earth is in this godforsaken place?
……

Within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, as the spring water surged, Xuanming was swept to the bottom. The energy conflict there was even more terrifying, causing him to faint. An icy blue phantom rose from the bottom of the spring, its appearance obscured, and closely followed by a fiery red phantom.

"With such a mutation in their bloodline, they can be considered members of my dragon race." The icy blue phantom spoke softly, looking at the two black dragons on Xuanming's back who were still conscious.

"You want to choose him?" the fiery red phantom asked.

"Instead of merely clinging to life and waiting for our consciousness to completely perish, why not give it a try?" the icy blue phantom said.

"Too weak," the fiery red phantom said.

“Let’s see. If he has the ability, I will choose him,” said the icy blue phantom.

"..."

"You can't stand it anymore, can you?" the fiery red phantom said.

"Otherwise, why would they have acted so hastily?"

"Can you really stay here?" the icy blue phantom asked.

With their divine consciousness shattered and their divine bodies destroyed, their dragon souls can only eke out a living at the bottom of this spring, unable to even leave their dragon bones.

This child, who was affected by the mutation of her martial soul and possessed the bloodline of the dragon race, could serve as her vessel, at least allowing her to leave this dark and desolate place.

"Then let's give it a try," said the fiery red phantom.

"You want to go out too?" The icy blue phantom seemed somewhat surprised.

"I'm worried about you."

“I am the Ice Dragon King, not some child.”

“I’m older than you, so you’re just a kid to me.”

"A rigid old man."

"You rude little brat."

"..."

……

Outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the violent tremors in the valley gradually subsided, and Dugu Bo, who had been frightened away, returned.

Looking at the calm water and the oppressive feeling of emptiness, Dugu Bo was filled with many thoughts.

His senses wouldn't be wrong; that was blood pressure just now.

The true dragon race was almost extinct in ancient times. Now, all that remains on the Douluo Continent are sub-dragons or dragon beasts that have inherited some of the dragon bloodline.

The fact that this place could suppress his Azure Serpent King to that extent means that it is very likely the burial ground of an ancient true dragon!
Legend has it that even if a true dragon dies, its soul remains. If this legend is true, then…

Could it be that Xuanming disturbed the ancient dragon soul sleeping here?
Gudong Gudong~
Just as Dugu Bo was lost in thought, the calm water began to ripple again.

However, unlike before, something was clearly about to come up.

Dugu Bo retreated to a distance with a wary expression, ready to make a run for it at any moment.

The water surface rippled more and more violently, and under Dugu Bo's tense gaze, a dragon's head emerged from the fire spring, startling him.

Dugu Bo instinctively wanted to run away, but then he felt that the dragon looked somewhat familiar.

Upon closer inspection, another dragon emerged from the cold spring.

"Hmm?" Dugu Bo's expression changed.

Aren't those the two dragons on Xuanming's back?

Is this kid still alive?

No, if there really is an ancient dragon soul, then this kid has probably already been possessed...

Before Dugu Boduo could think, a dark figure leaped out of the spring and landed on the shore.

"You are... Xuanming?" Dugu Bo asked warily.

Xuanming shook his head, feeling a little dizzy, and turned to look at Dugu Bo standing in the distance, "Can you turn around?"

Dugu Bo was taken aback. "Huh?"

Don't you even know the principle of "don't look at what is improper"?

"..."
