Chapter 259 - Chapter 258: Clash of Wills

It was a terrifyingly powerful ability—one that could make her untouchable. Yet, even as she admired the newfound ability, pain soon followed.

Her blood veins began to glow, first with golden light, then silver—alternating like two dragons fighting within her flesh. Every pulse of her heart felt like thunder in her chest.

Her steps grew unsteady. She moved like a drunk wanderer, each breath trembling with restrained agony.

Tianmeng's anxious voice filled her spirit sea again, his usually playful tone replaced with rare seriousness.

"This isn't normal! The fusion of two divine draconic essences should tear a mortal apart. You need to stop moving and stabilize your body!"

Qian Renxue's voice, however, was calm—tired but confident.

"It's fine, Tianmeng… This is the preliminary fusion of the Silver Dragon King's blood with the Golden Dragon's blood trace from the Auspicious Emperor's. They're… recognizing each other."

Electrolux's consciousness rippled, assessing her inner structure.

"You're walking a fine line, child. Your body may become something—or collapse entirely if it loses balance."

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, though blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

"That's nothing new. I've been walking that line since the day I awakened."

She looked around the forest, her perception hazy but sharp enough to locate a ancient looking huge hollow tree, she immediately noticed the faint mental signature of a 10,000-year-old soul beast—a giant forest bear slumbering inside.

Without hesitation, she raised her head. A pulse of mental energy surged forth, invisible and absolute.

There was no roar, no resistance—creature's massive body went limp. Its mind shattered in a single instant, silenced by her Mental Shock.

She entered the hollow of an ancient tree nearby—a trunk so wide that it could have housed a small cottage. The air inside was damp and earthy, a perfect hiding place from the prowling predators of the Star Dou.

Using her mental power, she dislodged a nearby boulder, sliding it smoothly to block the entrance. The sound echoed faintly before fading into silence.

Inside the dim hollow, faint golden and silver light flickered from her body, painting the rough bark walls with divine shimmer.

Qian Renxue leaned back against the still-warm corpse of the bear, using it as a crude makeshift bed.

She closed her eyes and muttered softly, almost to herself,

"No matter what kind of pain it brings… I won't stop here. At most I won't be a human anymore."

Her body trembled once more as the two divine bloodlines continued to weave, collide, and merge within her meridians.

The pain was indescribable.Qian Renxue's body arched as golden and silver light fought beneath her skin, her meridians glowing as if molten metal and liquid moonlight were flowing through them. Her heart pounded so violently that even the hollow tree trembled with the rhythm of her pulse.

The blood of the Golden Dragon King—and that of the Silver Dragon both incomplete fragments of the Dragon God's divine essence.

Their powers were meant to coexist within a single vessel.

 Crack!Golden lightning erupted from her body, illuminating the hollow tree in divine brilliance. Immediately afterward, a surge of silvery radiance burst forth, pure and ethereal, swallowing the gold. The two forces collided again and again, like twin suns colliding in her veins.

Her Martial soul was summoned as if by instinct and possessed. Wings of translucent scales burst from her back—a hybrid between an angel and dragon, her nascent demigod form.

Her aura twisted the air, bending light and warping the flow of soul power for hundreds of meters around. Then murmurs followed, this one not deliberate to consume her, but came with a pride as if its majesty has been tarnished.

Then as if the power of Mind Dragon suppressed both the blooodlines, it was no longer opposing but fusing. Slowly, painfully, the chaos inside her body stabilized. The golden and silver; pulsed together in harmony, beating in rhythm with her heart.

At that moment, the forest fell silent.Even the soul beasts miles away instinctively bowed their heads, trembling under the suppressed divine pressure that seeped out from her unconscious form.

Then—her body went still. The wings faded, and her aura retracted into her body as she collapsed fully onto the dream land.

In her dream, Qian Renxue found herself standing at the edge of a river. It wasn't water.

From the mist, she saw it—an island glimmering faintly in the distance, shrouded by fog of memories. It pulsed softly, like a beating heart.Something there was calling to her.

She reached out——but the moment her fingers brushed the water's surface, the current reversed. The river pulled her backward, as if rejecting her existence. A force from beyond flung her consciousness out of the dream, and everything went dark.

----

Within her Spirit Sea, the moment the murmurs descended, Tianmeng, unable to endure the overwhelming force, had fallen into deep slumber.Only Electrolux remained awake—. His once-calm gray eyes had turned sharp, now reflecting the hue of gold.

He stared at Qian Renxue's unconscious spiritual form, floating at the centre of a great river that now flowed through her inner world. The river's current carried countless fragments—images, runes, voices—all incomprehensible.

Then she stirred.Back in the Spirit Sea, Electrolux's gaze hardened."A memory island... connected to the her fate?" he whispered. "Is this… the true secret behind her soul?"

His ethereal body began to shimmer as he tried to extend his perception toward the distant island. But just as his awareness brushed its edge—

—he felt them.

A multitude of gazes—cold, ancient, infinite—descended upon him from the void above the Spirit Sea. Each was an eye that saw through reality itself.

The entity controlling Electrolux's body froze.The golden hue in his eyes deepened as the oppressive weight of divinity pressed down upon him.

In that silent confrontation,.The being inhabiting Electrolux's body and endless eyes faced one another—neither attacking, neither retreating— but an air of ancient sovereignty emanated from both sides .
