Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 72 Extraterrestrial Visitors

"Humans, it is truly a blessing for you two to have reached this place. Since you were able to break through the poisonous miasma, it fully demonstrates that you have some ability. Quickly state your purpose."

"You are not qualified to know about the realm of time reversal—time stop!"

Ye Qi'an snorted coldly. After he finished speaking, a green-gold light instantly spread outwards from Ye Qi'an as the core. Wherever the light touched, everything seemed to be frozen, and time seemed to stand still.

"Xi Yao, I'm sorry to trouble you to hide in the space of the Heavenly Punishment Sword for a while." Ye Qi'an turned to look at Ye Xi Yao standing beside him and said, while raising the Heavenly Punishment Sword in his hand.

"Brother, please be careful." Ye Xiyao nodded slightly and said, her eyes filled with worry but even more so with trust. With a flash, she transformed into a beam of light and entered the space of the Heavenly Punishment Sword.

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, gripping the Heavenly Punishment Sword tightly. The time freeze wouldn't last long; he had to act quickly. Thinking this, he raised his right arm and rotated his wrist counter-clockwise: "Time Reversal!"

With Ye Qi'an's low exclamation, the green-gold light grew stronger, the power of time surged like a tide, and the surrounding scenery began to slowly flow backward, as if time had been forcibly reversed at this moment.

"I'll deal with you later. Dragon God Core, appear!" As soon as Ye Qi'an finished speaking, a circular object emitting gold and silver light slowly rose from his body.

Ahead lay the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. As Ye Qi'an's figure flashed, he jumped into the confluence of the extreme cold Yin Spring and the blazing Yang Spring. With a splash, he was submerged in the spring water and sank into it in the blink of an eye.

Just as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well returned to calm, the power of time reversal gradually dissipated, and the paused time began to flow again. Everything seemed to have returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.

However, this is not entirely the case. At this moment, above the Valley of the Two Elements of Ice and Fire, a barrier formed by a pair of huge purplish-black wings is present. Upon closer inspection, there are actually six pairs of wings, and a dazzling purple light flashes continuously in the center of the wings, seemingly containing a powerful force that makes people hesitate to approach.

The surrounding air seemed to be affected by the purple light, becoming heavy. The wind stopped and the clouds calmed down, and the entire valley fell into a strange silence. The twelve wings exuded a mysterious pressure, as if they were guarding something, or perhaps waiting for something to appear.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the sky, shining with dazzling light, as if something was about to forcefully descend. The twelve purplish-black wings trembled slightly in the light, as if welcoming the mysterious being about to arrive.

As the light grew brighter, it enveloped the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Valley, breaking the silence and replacing it with a chilling sense of oppression.

After an unknown amount of time, a blurry figure gradually emerged from the enormous crevice. The figure exuded unparalleled majesty, making people dare not look directly at it. Its twelve wings drooped slightly, as if in submission to this mysterious being.

"It seems the little guy is still not careful enough. If it weren't for the unusual movement of the Heavenly Punishment Sword, I wouldn't have noticed. I didn't expect you to arrive here so early. Very well, let me lend you a hand."

As the words fell, the blurry figure could finally be seen more clearly. The person's face looked very kind, and the armor on his body had strange patterns that shimmered with a faint light. There were also six pairs of wings on his back.

He stood there quietly, as if he were one with the entire valley, exuding an extraordinary aura. He squinted slightly, looking in the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, his eyes revealing a hint of concern.

"Since you're here, I'll help you cause some trouble for that person in the divine realm—the Illusionary Realm!"

As the newcomer uttered a low cry, the space around the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire instantly began to distort, the light flickered, and colorful mist rose like wisps of silk, enveloping the entire valley. The once clearly visible Yin Spring of Extreme Cold and Yang Spring of Blazing Heat became blurred and indistinguishable.

"If restoring the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul isn't enough, then let me set up another formation for you to use in refining these plant-type soul beast traitors."

The newcomer waved his hands, and beams of light flew from his fingertips, weaving intricate patterns in the air and gradually outlining a vast and mysterious array. As more light was poured in, the array's patterns became clearer, shimmering with a strange brilliance. When the last beam of light fell, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Valley was enveloped by a powerful energy fluctuation, and the array slowly began to operate.

"Refining bones, refining heaven, and refining man—Soul Refining Array—Activate!"

With a low shout from the newcomer, the Soul Refining Array was officially activated. The array emitted a strong light, like a huge vortex that swept everything around it into it. It was as if countless invisible hands were pulling at the plant-type soul beasts. Under the power of the array, they were powerless to resist and could only be slowly dragged into the core of the array.

There, a blazing flame rose up. This flame was different from ordinary flames; it contained powerful refining power that could burn away all impurities. The 100,000-year-old plants, surrounded by the flames, let out mournful screams.

As the Soul Refining Array continued to operate, their bodies were gradually refined and transformed into pure energy. Under the guidance of the array, this energy began to converge and merge, forming a powerful force, which eventually turned into a solid bead that floated quietly above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Lake.

"We've done almost everything we needed to. The Acacia Heartbreak Red isn't high enough in quality, so here's the Twin Lotus for you."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the twin lotus blossoms slowly floated toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, reaching the same height as the bead formed from the energy of a 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"Lin Xuanqing, come back quickly and nurse the baby!"

A melodious and clear sound came from the crack, and then two figures, one in gold and one in blue, emerged from the crack at the same time.

"Sister Xue'er, my husband is busy." The blue-clad figure said softly to the woman beside him.

"Bing'er, don't say nice things to him," Qian Renxue said with a cold snort.

"Sister Xue'er, your husband is busy with important matters, let's wait a bit," Shui Bing'er gently advised.

Lin Xuanqing, who was hovering above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, heard the conversation between his two wives and smiled helplessly. He shook his head gently and looked back at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"Little one, see you next time." After saying this, Lin Xuanqing flashed to Qian Renxue and Shui Bing'er.

Qian Renxue slightly raised her chin, looking at Lin Xuanqing with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes: "Hmph, you're only arriving now. The child is still waiting."

Shui Bing'er quickly smoothed things over: "Sister Xue'er, my husband came over as soon as he finished his work."

Lin Xuanqing smiled gently and put his arms around Qian Renxue and Shui Bing'er: "Alright, don't be angry anymore, let's go back and see the children."

"Is this little guy inside the Yin-Yang Well the one you've set your sights on?" Qian Renxue asked, frowning.

Lin Xuanqing nodded slightly, his expression serious: "That's right, even if I didn't come this time, those two would definitely have come."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Those two?"

"One is Ye Li, who is known as the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix and whose cultivation has reached the Law Realm; the other is the Primordial Heavenly Dao, known as the origin of all things." Lin Xuanqing nodded and said.

Shui Bing'er was slightly startled and said softly, "Weren't those two people people who had once reached our Supreme Heaven Domain?"

"That's right. As for why the three of us value this little guy so much, he is our counterpart in this time and space. He has all sorts of people in different time and space. A counterpart is a person who exists in different time and space, in different places. In other words, different versions of ourselves in different time and space have different destinies, but may intersect due to certain key points." Lin Xuanqing nodded and said.

"Xue'er, Bing'er, you two should be able to sense that you two don't exist in this plane, right?"

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on her face: "Indeed, I've had this feeling ever since I arrived here."

Lin Xuanqing gently embraced the two of them, gazing intently into the distance: "In this time and space, one of your destinies will be shattered by Tang San, while the other will become a pile of dust."

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, a mixture of resentment and helplessness. Shui Bing'er gently held Qian Renxue's hand, offering her silent comfort.

"So what should we do now?" Shui Bing'er asked softly.

"We don't need to worry about anything else. We can leave everything to this little guy." After saying this, Lin Xuanqing turned around and walked towards the huge crack with Qian Renxue and Shui Bing'er.

As their figures gradually disappeared into the crack, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye returned to calm. Under the influence of the illusory realm, those 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts still existed, but they were just illusions.

Meanwhile, Ye Qi'an quickly submerged to the bottom of the lake. As expected, there was a unique space at the bottom of the lake. Ye Qi'an raised his hand and smashed it directly at the weakest point of the space. A muffled sound was heard, and the weak point of the space trembled slightly. Ye Qi'an raised his fist again, gathered his strength, and smashed it down hard.

As he continued his attacks, the ripples at the weak point in space grew stronger and stronger, as if they could be broken at any moment. With Ye Qi'an's unremitting efforts, the weak point in space was successfully broken. The next second, Ye Qi'an appeared in a special space, which was half cold and half hot, and two huge dragon corpses appeared in front of him.

The dragon corpse exuded a terrifying aura, making people tremble at the mere sight of it. Ye Qi'an narrowed his eyes and walked directly towards it. When he reached the dragon corpse, Ye Qi'an slowly reached out and stroked the corpse of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. Suddenly, the dragon corpse burst into a burst of white light, and two dragon souls, one blue and one red, appeared out of thin air.

"Are you the Golden Dragon King?" The ice-blue dragon soul looked at Ye Qi'an and said softly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be the Golden Dragon King," Ye Qi'an nodded and said.

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King exchanged a glance, seemingly exchanging a message. Upon seeing the Dragon God Core floating above Ye Qi'an's head, the Fire Dragon King spoke in a deep voice: "Since the Dragon God has acknowledged you, you must possess extraordinary abilities. What brings you here?"

"I want to break the sixth seal that the Dragon God placed on me," Ye Qi said, calming himself down.

The Ice Dragon King said softly, "Leave it to us. I'll tell you what to do."

Ye Qi'an nodded and replied, "Okay."

The Ice Dragon King slowly said, "Your current soul ring is just a blood and qi soul ring formed by your own condensation, but it has not been properly absorbed. You have a soul beast embryo in your body, right? What you need to do now is to establish a connection between the soul beast embryo and your first blood and qi soul ring, and make it the soul spirit of your first soul ring."

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I understand, but how exactly do I do it?"

The Ice Dragon King explained, "First, take out the soul beast embryo and wrap it with your own blood and qi. Then, guide the power of your first blood and qi soul ring to gradually permeate into the embryo. When the two resonate with each other, try to communicate with it, let it recognize you and merge with your soul ring."

Ye Qi'an did as instructed, carefully taking out the Snow Emperor Embryo he had won at the auction from his soul tool. He concentrated his energy, mobilized the power of his blood and qi, and slowly wrapped the Snow Emperor Embryo around it. As the power of his blood and qi surged, the Snow Emperor Embryo emitted a faint light.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qi'an began to guide the power of the first Qi and Blood Soul Ring to penetrate into the Soul Beast Egg. At first, the process was not smooth, as the power of the Qi and Blood Soul Ring seemed to resist contact with the Snow Empress Embryo. However, he did not give up and kept adjusting his power output.

After some effort, a faint resonance was formed between the Snow Emperor's embryo and the Qi and Blood Soul Ring. Ye Qi'an was overjoyed and tried to communicate with the Snow Emperor's soul spirit.

"Who are you?" Xue Di's voice echoed in Ye Qi'an's mental world.

"I am Ye Qi'an, or you can call me the Golden Dragon King," Ye Qi'an said, nodding.

The Snow Empress's voice was filled with shock: "How could you possibly be the Golden Dragon King?"

"Why is that impossible?" Ye Qi'an shook his head and said, while releasing a trace of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power.

Sensing the powerful Golden Dragon King bloodline energy, Xue Di remained silent for a moment before her voice rang out again: "I believe you now, but what are you going to do?"

"By becoming the soul spirit of my first Qi and Blood Soul Ring, you may share my bloodline power and cultivation level," Ye Qi'an said to Xue Di.

The Snow Emperor pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. After a while, she said, "It's feasible. However, I'm currently in the rebirth stage. After becoming your soul, I will lose some of my memories, but my cultivation will be fed back to you."

Ye Qi'an nodded and immediately began to guide the Snow Empress embryo to a deeper level of fusion with the first Qi and Blood Soul Ring. He could feel a huge power flowing between the two. As the fusion progressed, the Snow Empress's aura gradually merged with Ye Qi'an's Qi and Blood Soul Ring.

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King nodded slightly as they watched this scene.

The Ice Dragon King said, "Very good. Now that you have the Snow Empress as your soul spirit, what you need to do next is absorb the dragon bones formed by the two of us to further strengthen yourself and prepare for breaking the sixth seal of the Dragon God."
