Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

"Fine, I'll quit."

Xue Di's voice was resolute. She didn't want Ling Bai to notice the disappearance of the second Acacia Heartbreak Red, so she directly dragged him to the Frozen Spring.

A burst of bubbles burst open, and two figures disappeared into the icy spring. The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire fell silent, and the herbs that swayed in the wind in the darkness emitted faint, ethereal light.

Within the frigid icy spring, the icy temperature and immense pressure assaulted from all directions, seemingly intent on freezing people into ice blocks and then squeezing them into mincemeat. The two individuals' soul power surged forth instantly, and the resistance diminished considerably.

Like fish swimming, the two dived towards the deepest part of the water. The Frosty Ice Spring was filled with vast, extreme ice. The Snow Emperor felt right at home, as if she had melted into the ocean, and her whole body felt relaxed. The Frosty Ice Spring was even more comfortable than the perpetually cold core of the far north.

The six-winged angel is the ultimate fire, suitable for infiltrating from the blazing Yang Spring. However, Ling Bai is protected by the Snow Emperor's soul bone, so he is not affected by the extremely low temperature of the Cold Extreme Ice Spring. The Snow Emperor holds Ling Bai's left hand, and using their clasped hands as a medium, she controls the energy of the ultimate ice to construct a snow-white shield.

Ling Bai glanced at that stunning face with amusement, then slipped his fingers between the woman's cool, smooth fingers, enjoying the Snow Emperor's protection.

The Snow Empress is noble and aloof, never willing to be subordinate to anyone. Occasionally, one must satisfy her protective instincts to make her feel that she is still the omnipotent ruler of the far north.

Suddenly, the soul power within his body surged, churning and surging like a turbulent sea, like a mischievous child cheering and jumping for joy. That excitement came from his right arm and right leg. The two true dragon soul beasts, the Holy Light Dragon and the Radiant Thunder Prison Dragon, had already sensed the king of the underground!

A sharp light flashed in Ling Bai's eyes. Xue Di also seemed to sense something. The core temperature of the Frosty Ice Spring was even lower than that of her, the third most ferocious beast on the continent, the ultimate snow. The Ice and Snow Maiden bloodline, which she had been proud of for seven hundred thousand years, was trembling at this moment!

What lies beneath the Yin-Yang Spring of Ice and Fire?

An unexpected panic gripped her heart, and Xue Di couldn't help but move closer to Ling Bai, hoping to provide her with some sense of security.

An endless chill spread, and a layer of frost gradually condensed on their bodies. Ling Bai and Xue Di looked grim. Before them stood a colossal dragon, its body as massive as an iceberg, lying beneath the frigid spring!

"A dragon's corpse!?"

Snow Emperor's eyes widened in shock. This giant dragon had perished countless millennia ago, yet traces of bones, meridians, and muscles could still be seen beneath its crystal-clear scales, with icy white energy flowing within, forming tiny vortexes.

As the extreme ice spun, it overflowed and merged with the water from the surrounding frigid springs. The energy from the dragon's corpse nourished the growth of the immortal herbs.

Before the majestic dragon, humans appeared so insignificant. Ling Bai gazed at it and slowly said, "Water Dragon King, we have finally found you."

"It...it's the Water Dragon King, one of the nine sons of the Dragon God?"

Xue Di found it hard to believe. Ice is a mutated form of water, and the Water Dragon King was born to control water, thus mastering both ice and water attributes.

The Water Dragon King was a top-tier being among the Soul Beasts, a descendant of the Dragon God, and a supreme deity. The Ice God, revered by all beasts in the far north, was utterly insignificant in the eyes of the Water Dragon King. This terrifying Water Dragon King lay silently before them, his corpse undisturbed.

Even though the dragon was dead, its might remained. The closer the Snow Empress got, the more deeply she could feel the oppressive force of the Water Dragon King. It was an aura that could not be described in words. The Dragon King's pressure, combined with the suppression of her own origin, caused the Ice and Snow Maiden's bloodline to boil violently, and she could not calm down for a long time.

Compared to Xue Di, Ling Bai's condition was much more stable. Although his strength was far inferior to Xue Di's, from the perspective of bloodline, both the angels and the demons were first-level gods, so they were not so weak that they were crushed by the water dragon king who had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years.

Ling Bai suddenly stopped and looked at Xue Di beside him with an inquiring look. He noticed that Xue Di's pace had begun to slow down.

Xue Di released his hand, her delicate body shimmering with sky-blue light, and gritted her teeth, saying:

"This is the first time in my life that I have been suppressed by the bloodline of a superior beast race. The Water Dragon King's ice attribute is too strong. If I continue to get closer, I'm afraid I will burn it to ashes..."

"Then try to fuse with the power of the Water Dragon King while you're still here, even if it's just a trace," Ling Bai suggested.

The Water Dragon King was definitely the best opportunity for the Snow Empress, stimulating the purification and enhancement of her bloodline.

Snow Empress carefully extracted the ice element from the Water Dragon King's corpse and fused it into her body, transforming it into the purest ice energy to replenish the Ice and Snow Maiden's bloodline. Her body, which had been re-condensed with the power of heaven and earth, gradually approached perfection.

Ling Bai swam towards the Water Dragon King alone. He was smaller than a single toenail of the Water Dragon King. Dense ice elements filled the area around him, and his body and surroundings felt like a solid, viscous substance. For ice-attribute creatures, breathing next to the Water Dragon King was like deep meditation!

"Dragon Soul..."

Ling Bai discovered the ice-blue dragon soul, which stood majestically before the head of the Water Dragon King. The dragon head was dignified yet beautiful, and its expression carried the innate arrogance of the dragon race!

The Water Dragon King's soul seemed devoid of emotion; it simply stood there silently. Ling Bai didn't dare approach for a moment, lowering his head in deep thought. The Snow Emperor was suppressed by the Water Dragon King and couldn't get close, and the Death Prison Bone Dragon's origin was a dragon, so it was probably going to be difficult.

"Old Yi, time to get to work!"

Ling Bai shouted in the sea of ​​spirit.

"So, you finally remember to come to me when you run into trouble?"

Electrolux chuckled and cursed, transforming into a spirit form and standing beside Ling Bai, posing a soul-based question: "Tell me, what kind of mischief are you planning to do?"

"Look at what you're saying, do you think I'm a bad person?"

Ling Bai squinted and cleared his throat, saying, "Since we're already here, I'd like to talk to the Water Dragon King first, but I don't know what his attitude is towards humans, and I'm worried he might suddenly go berserk."

Electrolux nodded slightly, holding the necromancer's staff, and pointed it at the Water Dragon King's soul, tentatively attempting to communicate with the Water Dragon King through his soul.

A moment later, the Water Dragon King turned around and looked at the two of them. Ling Bai could sense that the Water Dragon King did not show any goodwill, nor did he seem to be particularly resistant. He maintained a neutral attitude, as if he thought that they were not meant to be and should go back to where they came from.

"The Water Dragon King only befriends dragons, especially high-ranking dragons," Electrox said.

"Can't the Holy Light Dragon and the Radiant Thunder Dragon work?"

"They don't deserve it," Electrox corrected. "You should consider whether to give up or take action next."

The Water Dragon King's body has become the core of the Frozen Ice Spring. If it is forcibly taken away, it will not only provoke the Water Dragon King's dragon soul to resist, but also cause the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to collapse, and this treasure land will no longer exist in the world.

"If I could put a little effort into it, the Water Dragon King was already a deity in his previous life, so spending two or three years forcibly refining him using necromancy would be worthwhile."

"In two or three years, you should go back and rest for a while," Ling Bai sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Why waste that time? Two or three years will pass and he'll be practically invincible. He won't care about a mere water dragon king.

"However, speaking of the higher-ranking dragons..."

Ling Bai reached into his storage soul tool and took out a black dragon scale, then put it on his chest and slowly approached the Water Dragon King.

The Water Dragon King looked closely, and then his dragon soul trembled. A loud dragon roar rang out from the Frosty Ice Spring. The dragon soul rushed to Ling Bai with lightning speed, its excited and eager appearance as if it had met an old friend it had not seen for many years.

Seeing this, Ling Bai smiled as expected. The black dragon scales were a gift from Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, containing the aura of Di Tian's true form, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

What is Di Tian's identity? He is the current king of the Black Dragon Clan, the most powerful true dragon, and was personally granted the Dragon God Claw by the Dragon God!

Although his strength cannot compare to his predecessor, Di Tian is still the Dark Dragon King in terms of status, and dragon scales are the symbol of the Dark Dragon King!

After dying, he spent hundreds of thousands of years in the frigid icy spring, and apart from the neighboring Fire Dragon King, he had never seen any other legitimate dragons from the outside world. But today, someone who seemed to be a descendant had arrived. How could the Water Dragon King not be overjoyed? He kept swimming around Ling Bai's body, and a gentle thought came to him:

"Black Dragon Messenger, what brings you here?"

"Water Dragon King, the divine realm has decreed that the beast race can never become gods."

Ling Bai said with a serious face: "The gods in the God Realm are unjust. As humanity continues to develop, the dragon race and soul beasts are living in dire straits. Sooner or later, they will all fall into chaos. However, Di Tian is restricted to the Douluo Continent by a rule and has never been able to advance to the godhood!"

"In the realm of gods, there must be a deity who stands up for the injustice done to the soul beasts. Coincidentally, a certain deity chose me. After much deliberation, Di Tian decided to help me become a god. However, I currently lack both soul rings and soul bones, so I don't know how long it will take to become a god..."

The Rakshasa mark between the eyebrows flashed by, confirming that what was said was true.

"The Dragon Clan is in trouble. As the Dragon King, it is my duty to lend a helping hand to Little Emperor Tian."

The Water Dragon King understood the implication, nodded heavily, raised his head and let out a long dragon roar. The scorching Yangquan trembled, and a crimson dragon soul broke through the spring water and came out!

Fire Dragon King!

The two dragon souls exchanged a glance and unleashed their combined power. A surge of energy erupted from beneath the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, a mixture of icy blue and fiery red, spiraling straight into the sky!

Amidst the bleak night wind, the dragon's roar echoed far and wide, reverberating endlessly in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), its ancient desolation and sense of relief so clear.

Outside the valley, Dugu Lin, who was frantically absorbing the Azure Poison Mist to cultivate, was suddenly horrified. After evolving into the ultimate poison, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King actually felt fear in the dragon's roar. The Azure Phosphorus Serpent King was also one of the dragon species!

Snow Empress stopped fusing with the residual power of the Water Dragon King. Her beautiful sky-blue eyes, now with a restrained brilliance, gazed at the energy of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings that was beginning to assimilate!

Under the stimulation of the Water and Fire Dragon King, the primal energy of heaven and earth above Sunset Forest gradually became violent and rapidly gathered towards the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!

The energies of ice blue and fire red intertwined and spread into a red and blue ring that covered the sky and earth. It was as if a rising sun suddenly appeared next to the bright moon, with the dragon's might shining brilliantly!

"Strange, what are you doing, darling?"

Dugu Lin looked up at the sky, her beautiful green eyes squinting in confusion. She racked her brains but couldn't understand why Ling Bai's plucking of a few immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye could cause such a commotion!

The red and blue ring was like a giant suction cup, and Dugu Lin could clearly sense it draining the energy dissipating from the Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

A mixture of icy cold and fiery heat rose simultaneously, and around the ring, the chill and flames intertwined to create a magnificent picture, as if to encompass the entire world within it.

As the energy of the ring continued to increase, the mixed red and blue colors transformed into a dazzling purple-gold. This light was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, making it impossible to look directly at. The purple-gold light gradually solidified and fell to the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring.

Purple-Gold Dragon King Soul Ring!

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was born from the corpse of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings. The two Dragon Kings were naturally able to control it. Using their own source power as a guide, they absorbed the energy accumulated in the entire Sunset Forest and transformed it into this unique Purple-Gold Dragon King Soul Ring!

Under the dazzling light of the spirit ring, Ling Bai's face was tinged with a noble purplish-gold hue. To condense this spirit ring, the two Dragon Kings had suffered great damage to their dragon souls, their soul bodies becoming noticeably ethereal. The Water Dragon King said gently:

"I and the Fire Dragon King perished hundreds of thousands of years ago, and there are few places left to help the dragon race. May the Dragon God in heaven protect you and Emperor Tian so that the dragon race may one day return to the realm of gods."

"Thank you for your gifts, Dragon Kings."

Ling Bai performed the junior's etiquette and released his second martial soul, the Death Prison Spider Emperor, fused with the Dragon King's soul ring.

The Six-Winged Angel requires its eighth spirit ring, while the Death Prison Spider King requires both its seventh and eighth spirit rings.

The importance of the eighth spirit ring is far less than that of the seventh spirit ring; the true source of a spirit master's power lies in their Martial Soul True Body.

With the Dragon King Soul Ring becoming its seventh Soul Ring, the Death Prison Spider King will awaken the most powerful Martial Soul True Form in history.

The Death Prison Spider Spears burst forth from its back, embodying the ultimate death, ultimate evil, and ultimate poison. After evolving into a three-ultimate attribute martial soul, the Death Prison Spider King's eight spider spears turned a deathly gray.

The Dragon King Soul Rings actively merged, and the Martial Soul Origin was infused with the power of the two Dragon Kings. The Death Prison Spider Spear evolved once again, with dazzling purple-gold patterns engraved on the gray spider spear.

Gray, red, red, red, red, red, purple-gold!

The Water and Fire Dragon Kings saw the Soul Ring Combination of the Death Prison Spider King, and their two weak dragon eyes instantly brightened. No wonder Di Tian resolutely chose to invest. If someone with such talent doesn't become a god, who in the Douluo Continent can become a god!

The Water Dragon King immediately made a decision. His dragon soul rushed towards the dragon corpse and produced a crystal-clear, ice-blue crown.

"This is the essence of our divine bones, Little Water!"

The Fire Dragon King stared in shock, its dragon eyes wide, unable to believe that the Water Dragon King would be willing to offer this item.

The Water Dragon King said calmly, "You and I have long since perished, our bones and blood fused with this world. There's no point in keeping us here any longer. We might as well make another contribution to the dragon race."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

The Fire Dragon King laughed loudly and summoned a crown as well.

Two dazzling crowns flew to Ling Bai's head. The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire made the two dragon kings intertwined, and the two crowns also merged into one.

The newly formed crown is shaped like a dragon's head, with a purple-gold color, resembling a star in the deep night sky, mysterious and unpredictable. The two dragon patterns are lifelike, as if they are about to take off and soar into the sky at any moment.

The crown is inlaid with countless tiny gemstones, the most eye-catching of which is the large purple crystal in the center of the crown, which is like the eye of a dragon king, deep and mysterious, radiating endless majesty and power.

To demonstrate the power and authority of heaven and earth!

The Crown of the Dragon King!
