Douluo Continent: After Ten Thousand Years of Silence, I Was Exposed by the Sky.

Chapter 84 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Ice Dragon King: Old Fire, just asking you, do you know you have ten heads?
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The inner core suspended within Ji Ruxue's body suddenly trembled.

Deep within the inner core, an even more terrifying and obscure energy fluctuation was faintly stirring.

That is the core divine power that came from the fusion and mutation of the "Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent" and the "Fire Dragon King," and it is the key to the divine position of the "Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King."

The phantom of the Fire Dragon King behind Ji Ruxue throbbed violently on the fleshy tumors on both sides of its neck, as if the other nine heads were about to burst through the skin, emitting a heart-palpitating roar.

"puff!"

Ji Ruxue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into a blood mist before it even hit the ground.

Ji Ruxue's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body shook violently, clearly indicating that her physical body had reached its limit.

Upon seeing this, Wei Yun, who had been focused on protecting the Dharma, suddenly narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Ji Ruxue open her eyes abruptly, a resolute and clear look flashing in them.

"Stop!"

Ji Ruxue shouted in her heart.

Ji Ruxue clearly sensed that the remaining energy in the core of the inner core was too vast and violent; it was a true divine source.

If she were to forcibly absorb this power now, attempting to evolve into a ten-headed fire dragon king in one fell swoop, her body would inevitably collapse completely due to its inability to withstand this divine power, causing her to explode and die!

Trying to do too much at once will lead to failure; too much of anything is as bad as too little!

Ji Ruxue quickly formed hand seals, forcibly severing the absorption of energy from the inner core. Instead, she mobilized her newly promoted demigod-level soul power, transforming it into crimson sealing chains that wrapped around the restless inner core layer by layer.

"seal up!"

With a clear shout, the nine phantom heads that were about to burst out of the body roared unwillingly and slowly shrank back into the Fire Dragon King's body.

The enormous dragon shadow behind them also stabilized. Although it did not have ten heads, the oppressive aura of the Fire Dragon King was enough to change the color of the heavens and earth.

The terrifying heat inside the hall receded like a receding tide, and the restless energy gradually subsided.

Ji Ruxue slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which transformed into a fire serpent that hovered in the air for a long time before dissipating.

She succeeded, but also temporarily halted her progress.

Although she failed to ascend to godhood in one step, nor fully evolve into the legendary Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King, she has been reborn.

A level 99 demigod, with the Fire Dragon King martial soul.

As for the remaining core energy within the inner core, she has sealed it deep within her dantian.

(Refer to Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Seal)

That is the foundation for her future godhood.

She needs time and depth to digest and refine herself gradually until her body and soul are strong enough before embarking on the final path of evolution.

Ji Ruxue slowly stood up. Although her phoenix robe was somewhat disheveled, it could not conceal her unparalleled elegance that commanded the respect of all beings.

She looked at Wei Yun, whose eyes were full of concern, and a confident and powerful smile appeared on her lips:

"My lord, I have not failed you."

The sunset forest, the eyes of ice and fire.

The red and white spring waters meet in the vast valley, yet they do not encroach upon each other, exuding extreme cold and heat.

But beneath that seemingly calm, towering spring lies a completely different scene.

Inside the vast underground space, two colossal dragon skeletons, each a thousand feet long, lay slumbering peacefully.

A body entirely crimson, as if carved from a ruby;

The other one is crystal clear, like a piece of ancient ice formed over ten thousand years.

Although the physical bodies had long since decayed, the terrifying dragon's might originating from the primordial era still filled this space with a sense of oppression. At this moment, two illusory, enormous dragon souls were coiled atop their respective skeletons.

They were the creators of this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, two of the nine Dragon Kings under the Dragon God – the Water Dragon King (Ice Dragon King) and the Fire Dragon King.

Although they were thousands of feet underground, this mysterious sky seemed to ignore the barriers of space and distance. Golden light penetrated the thick rock layers and spring water, clearly reflecting in the eyes of the two dragon kings.

At this moment, the scene of Ji Ruxue receiving the reward and successfully fusing part of the inner core to achieve a demigod body is being replayed on the sky.

The golden reward name, in particular, stood out starkly against the dark underground.

The air fell into a deathly silence.

The two ancient dragons, who had lived for countless years, stared at each other blankly.

a long time.

The Water Dragon King's enormous, dark blue dragon soul trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing a laugh; even his normally majestic whiskers quivered as he tried to hold back his amusement.

She slowly turned her enormous head to look at the Fire Dragon King, who was equally bewildered, and let out a mocking laugh:

"Ah……"

The silence was broken by a soft laugh.

The Water Dragon King's voice, tinged with mockery and strangeness, echoed in the underground space:
"Old Huo, we've known each other for millions of years, haven't we?"

We've been neighbors since the time when the Dragon God ruled the divine realm.

The Fire Dragon King snapped out of his daze, his dragon eyes wide open, and two streams of scorching air shot out from his nostrils. He said irritably:

"Old Ice Cube, just spit it out. What's with all this sarcastic talk?"

The Water Dragon King extended a phantom dragon claw, pointed to the image of the sky shining down from above, and asked in a leisurely tone:

"I'm just curious, I wanted to ask you..."

Do you know you have ten heads?

Fire Dragon King: "..."

The Fire Dragon King's enormous fiery phantom froze instantly.

He is the mighty Fire Dragon King, who controls all the fires under heaven. He is the representative of ultimate power under the Dragon God, with a majestic and domineering appearance, and a standard dragon head, horns and body.

Ten heads?

What the hell is that?

Is that still a dragon?
Wouldn't that turn into a chaotic mess of hydras or multi-headed monsters?
"Bullshit! Utter nonsense!"

The Fire Dragon King finally realized what was happening, and his dragon soul was violently fluctuating in anger, causing the temperature of the surrounding magma to surge instantly.

"I only have one head!"
That is a noble and unique dragon head!
Which bastard spread the rumor that I have ten heads?
"Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King"?
I'd say 'ten deformed dragons' is a more accurate description!

Seeing his old friend's defenses breached, the Water Dragon King laughed even harder, his massive dragon body tumbling through the air.
"Oh, don't be angry."

"Look at what's written on the screen that day: 'Ten Fire Dragon King Inner Cores,' and that little girl named Ji Ruxue did indeed have nine fleshy growths sprouting from her back just now, looking like she was about to grow nine new heads."

At this point, the Water Dragon King paused, his tone becoming slightly more serious, a thoughtful glint in his eyes:
"However, Old Huo, carefully sense the aura of that inner core."

Upon hearing this, the Fire Dragon King suppressed his anger, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the inner core that Ji Ruxue had sealed inside her body through a slight fluctuation emanating from the sky.

A moment later, the Fire Dragon King suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"This...this aura..."
