Chapter 112: Rampage, Bloodline Unsealing
Man and silkworm left the Extreme North with their own hidden motives. They had no choice—compared to the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Titan Snow Demon clan was just as rare, and every member was precious.
Not long after Huo Yuhao completed the absorption, the Titan Snow Demon King sensed a missing clansman and erupted in fury, rampaging through the core region of the Extreme North. Had the two of them lingered any longer, they would have been buried forever in that frozen land.
Before leaving, the Tianmeng Iceworm still managed to deceive its own kind, helping Huo Yuhao obtain a thousand-year Iceworm soul ring identical to the one in the original story. Though he now possessed a second martial soul, Huo Yuhao's current state was far inferior—a low-end version at best.
…
On the other side.
Three days had passed since Lin Yun swallowed the Blazing Resin and Cold Ice Dew before diving into the Ice-and-Fire Spring. Normally, absorbing divine herbs took no more than half a day.
Even with his Dragon Devour talent, three days felt unusually long. But Lin Yun's case differed from Tang San's. The herbs Tang San consumed—Eight-Angle Mysterious Ice Grass and Scorching Apricot Herb—were non-sentient, while Blazing Resin and Cold Ice Dew each held the essence of ten-thousand-year cultivation.
Their power was more than tenfold stronger than Tang San's herbs. A single Blazing Resin could purify a corrupted Ma Xiaotao and awaken an extreme fire phoenix flame. When combined with the opposing forces of ice and fire, the effects were far beyond simple addition.
Lin Yun had also swallowed a Qiluo Pill equally potent. It wasn't that his Dragon Devour talent failed; rather, it was the reason he hadn't exploded into mist at the Soul Sect level.
Under the two extreme springs—one freezing, one scorching—his body was constantly nourished and reshaped by the energy of three divine herbs. Throughout those three days, the Ice Emperor stood motionless like a statue, gripping the stem of the Fragrant Qiluo divine flower, eyes fixed coldly upon it.
Except for Di Tian's brief reminder to store the Scorching Apricot Herb's corpse, she hadn't moved at all. Though its potency had weakened and left residual fire poison, it remained a valuable treasure for fire-type soul beasts.
Were it not for the need to remain hidden, Di Tian would have appeared himself. For both the Auspicious Beast and Red King, that herb's corpse was a rare delicacy.
"Um… sister, it's been three days. Aren't you tired? Maybe rest a bit?" the Fragrant Qiluo divine flower finally spoke, its fear fading enough for its talkative nature to surface.
Seeing the Ice Emperor's tireless vigilance, the flower felt as if its heart might stop. "How much do I even pay you to work this hard?!" It couldn't believe she had stared at it for three whole days.
The Ice Emperor frowned, killing intent flickering in her frosty eyes. "Shut up. Say one more word, and die."
Feeling the Ice Emperor's cool fingers pinch its stem, the Fragrant Qiluo instantly stiffened straight. "Wrong, wrong! I'll be quiet!"
Three seconds later—
"Sister, where are you soul beasts from? That person seems human! Why do you obey him?" it babbled again. Its chattering was like Tang Sanzang whispering endlessly in her ear.
Only you~
The scorpion nearly snapped. The Ice Emperor's sharp teeth clenched audibly as her crimson lips curved into a cold smile. "Little thing, you really think I won't kill you?"
An icy chill spread instantly. The once-swaying Fragrant Qiluo froze solid in crystal ice.
"Finally, silence." The Ice Emperor clapped her hands and rubbed her brow, exasperated. Lin Yun had told her that if the flower spoke again, she could just crush it—but she didn't believe she could truly bring herself to do so.
Even if it was a fine piece of meat, whether to kill it now or keep it for later had to wait until Lin Yun emerged.
After following Lin Yun for several years, the Ice Emperor had learned one thing—when acting under Lin Yun, she didn't need to think or decide anything. All she had to do was obey.
As long as he was there, she could simply wait to be carried forward. Unlike that herd of fools from Shrek who didn't even understand how to win by doing nothing—scheming, gossiping, forming cliques all day—utterly brainless.
Sometimes, the Ice Emperor truly wondered how such a group of idiotic soul masters could ever have driven the soul beast race into submission, forced into silent endurance while being hunted.
As her thoughts tangled in frustration, a powerful surge of soul power suddenly erupted from the Ice-and-Fire Spring. At the same moment, a torrent of madness and bloodlust swept through the entire valley.
Beneath the surface, Lin Yun's eyes snapped open. The final trace of medicinal essence from the three divine herbs had been absorbed, causing a tremendous leap in his physical strength.
In simple terms, his body had risen from near Soul Sage level straight to the realm of a Titled Douluo.
This leap granted him immense power—but it also shattered the seal suppressing the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him.
Thick, molten golden blood, heavy as mercury, pulsed outward through his veins. A force strong enough to shatter heaven and earth clouded his mind, and his human form began to transform.
Golden scales with a metallic luster pushed out from beneath his skin, muscles hardened like granite, his hands became dragon claws, and a pair of golden dragon wings unfurled behind his back. Razor-sharp bone spikes grew from his elbows and knees.
Even his face bore several shining golden scales. Yet unlike before, these scales gleamed faintly red, and his once-golden pupils turned blood crimson—reason consumed, replaced by pure savagery and slaughter.
The Golden Dragon King bloodline, which should never have awakened this early, now revealed its true power. His Golden Dragon martial soul shed its disguise and showed its true form—
The Golden Dragon King Martial Soul!
As the price for this premature awakening, even with a Titled Douluo-level body and mental power to match, Lin Yun could not control the complete Golden Dragon King within him.
He lost control.
Madness and killing intent flooded his heart. The sea of spirit energy that had once shone with life, dyed green by the vitality of the Life Gold, turned into a world of crimson—like hell itself.
"What's going on? Impossible—he shouldn't be losing control!" Electrolux awoke from slumber, startled by the sudden upheaval in Lin Yun's spiritual sea.
But after sensing Lin Yun's current state more closely, he fell silent.
Good heavens, the archmage could only mutter in disbelief.
So this violent and savage side was Lin Yun's true nature, while the calm, polite persona before had merely been forced restraint.
It was utterly bizarre.
Electrolux couldn't tell which side was real anymore. How could one person's nature shift so drastically?
He didn't fully understand Lin Yun's condition, but he couldn't just stand by. Their fates were tied together—if he wished to regain his peak power, Electrolux still needed Lin Yun's strength.
Besides, the two of them could be called friends in their own way.
"Sigh… luckily, we created the True Solar Scripture together, or I wouldn't be able to do a thing now," Electrolux murmured, shaking his head helplessly.
Normally, he couldn't intervene in such a state. He could only wait for the rampage to pass—or watch Lin Yun be consumed by his own fury, turning into a killing machine.
But since they had co-created the technique, Electrolux knew it better than anyone else. Even though Lin Yun had refined it greatly, Electrolux could still act if needed.
It wasn't because he had hidden any traps within the technique—just experience. Like a craftsman who knows which screw to remove to dismantle a clock, Electrolux knew precisely where to strike.
After all, he had helped forge the technique himself.
He raised his hand toward the Life Gold. A great wave of life energy poured from the green miniature sun and gathered in his palm, forming a majestic staff nearly two meters long.
"Awaken!"
