Chapter 84 The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Ice Dragon King: Old Fire, just asking, do you know you have ten heads?
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The core of the inner core suspended in Ji Ruxue's body suddenly trembled.
Deep within the inner core, an even more terrifying and obscure energy fluctuation was faintly stirring.
That was the core divine power belonging to the fusion and mutation of the "Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent" and the "Fire Dragon King," the key to the divine position of the "Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King."
The phantom of the Fire Dragon King behind Ji Ruxue, the fleshy tumors on both sides of its neck bulged violently, as if the other nine heads were about to burst through the skin, emitting a heart-palpitating roar.
"Pfft!"
Ji Ruxue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into blood mist before it even hit the ground.
Ji Ruxue's face instantly turned pale, and her body shook violently, obviously her physical body had reached its limit.
Wei Yun, who had been focused on protecting her, saw this and his pupils shrank sharply. He was about to make a move when he saw Ji Ruxue suddenly open her eyes, a trace of determination and clarity flashing in her eyes.
"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 true divine-level origin.
If she were to forcibly absorb it now, attempting to evolve into a ten-headed fire dragon king in one fell swoop, her body would inevitably collapse completely due to the inability to withstand this divine power, exploding and dying!
Too much of a good thing can be bad!
Ji Ruxue's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals and forcibly severing the absorption of energy from the core of the inner core. Instead, she mobilized her newly advanced demigod-level soul power, transforming it into layers of crimson sealing chains, wrapping them tightly around the restless inner core.
"Seal!"
With a clear shout, the nine phantom heads that were about to burst forth roared unwillingly, slowly shrinking back into the fire dragon king's body.
The enormous dragon shadow behind her stabilized, though not yet ten-headed, the oppressive aura of the Fire Dragon King was enough to change the very fabric of the world.
The terrifying heat within the hall receded like a tide, and the restless energy gradually subsided.
Ji Ruxue slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which transformed into a fiery serpent, swirling in the air for a long time before dissipating.
She had succeeded, and she had temporarily stopped.
Although she hadn't ascended to godhood in one step, nor had she fully evolved into the legendary ten-headed Fire Dragon King, she had undergone a complete transformation.
Level ninety-nine demigod, Fire Dragon King Martial Soul.
As for the remaining core energy within her inner core, she had sealed it deep within her dantian.
(Refer to Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Seal)
That was the foundation for her future godhood.
She needed time, she needed resources, to digest it little by little, to slowly refine it, until her body and soul were strong enough before embarking on the final path of evolution.
Ji Ruxue slowly stood up, her phoenix robe slightly disheveled, yet unable to conceal her unparalleled elegance that commanded the submission 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 husband, I have not failed you."
Sunset Forest, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Red and white springs converged in a vast valley, yet remained separate, radiating extreme cold and heat.
But beneath the seemingly tranquil surface of the springs lay a different scene.
In a vast underground space, two colossal dragon skeletons, each a thousand feet long, slept peacefully.
One was entirely crimson, as if carved from rubies; the other was crystal clear, like millennia-old ice.
Although their bodies had long since decayed, the terrifying dragon might originating from the primordial era still filled the space with a sense of oppression.
At this moment, two enormous, illusory 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 once 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 celestial canopy seemed to ignore the barriers of space and distance. Golden light pierced through the thick layers of rock and spring water, clearly illuminating the eyes of the two Dragon Kings.
The celestial canopy was replaying the scene of Ji Ruxue receiving her reward and successfully fusing a portion of the inner core, achieving a demigod's body.
Especially the line of golden reward names—[Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King Inner Core]—stood out conspicuously in the dark underground.
The air fell into a deathly silence.
The two ancient dragons, who had lived for countless years, stared at each other, their expressions blank.
After a long while, the Water Dragon King's enormous, dark blue dragon soul trembled slightly, as if suppressing a laugh; even its normally majestic whiskers quivered as it tried to hold back its amusement.
She slowly turned her enormous head, looking at the equally bewildered Fire Dragon King beside her, and let out a mocking chuckle:
"Heh..."
This soft laugh broke the silence.
The Water Dragon King's voice, tinged with mockery and strangeness, echoed in the underground space:
"Old Fire, we've known each other for millions of years, haven't we? We've been neighbors since the Dragon God ruled the divine realm."
The Fire Dragon King snapped out of his daze, his dragon eyes wide open, two streams of scorching air shooting from his nostrils, and said irritably:
"Old Ice Cube, just say what you want to say, why are you being so sarcastic?"
The Water Dragon King extended a phantom dragon claw, pointed to the image of the sky shining down from above, and asked leisurely:
"I'm just curious, I want to ask you..."
"Do you know you have ten heads?"
The Fire Dragon King: "..."
The Fire Dragon King's enormous fiery phantom instantly froze.
He, the mighty Fire Dragon King, controlled all the fires under heaven, the representative of ultimate power under the Dragon God, with a majestic and domineering appearance, a standard dragon head, dragon horns, and dragon body.
Ten heads?
What the hell is that?
Is that still a dragon?
Isn't it just a bunch of messy hydras or multi-headed monsters?
"Bullshit! Utter nonsense!"
The Fire Dragon King finally realized what was going on, his dragon soul surging violently with rage, and the temperature of the surrounding magma instantly skyrocketed.
"I only have one head! It's a noble, unique dragon head! Which bastard spread rumors that I have ten heads? A 'Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King'? I think 'Ten-Headed Deformed Dragon' is more like it!"
Seeing his old friend's lapse in defense, the Water Dragon King laughed even harder, his massive dragon body tumbling in the air:
"Oh, don't be angry. Look at what's written on the sky, 'Ten-Headed Fire Dragon King's Inner Core,' 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 Fire, carefully sense the aura of that inner core."
Hearing this, the Fire Dragon King suppressed his anger, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the inner core sealed within Ji Ruxue's body through a slight fluctuation emanating from the sky.
A moment later, the Fire Dragon King suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief and astonishment.
"This...this aura..."
