Chapter 51 Welcome the Dragon Lord!
"That damned human again."
A deep, furious roar rang out first!
The first tulip to arrive, with its entire body a deep purple-gold color and an elegant and luxurious appearance, was none other than the king of fairy herbs—the Qiluo tulip!
Its aura was so strong that the air in the valley seemed to freeze upon its appearance.
"Brother Luo, calm down!" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin quickly spoke up, explaining, "Things might not be so bad. I can sense that the violent aura of the Fire Dragon King deep within the Blazing Yang Spring seems to be weakening because of this human."
Her words eased Qiluo Tulip's anger slightly, but then three more powerful auras descended almost simultaneously.
On one side, the ground rose slightly, and a giant melon, as if cast in gold and covered with pale golden dragon scale-like patterns, broke out of the ground, exuding a heavy, mountain-like pressure. It was the 100,000-year-old Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
On the other side, a slender bamboo, carved entirely from black jade and crystal clear, silently appeared. Its leaves carried a cool and sharp aura. The 100,000-year-old black jade divine bamboo had arrived.
Finally, a commotion came from the Frosty Ice Spring. A large white flower with eight-pointed leaves and crystal-clear appearance drifted over. The 100,000-year-old Eight-pointed Mystic Ice Grass had arrived.
As soon as she arrived, the temperature in the vicinity dropped several degrees.
Six ancient soul beasts, each ten thousand years old, have gathered here!
The terrifying pressure spread out in layers, like an invisible tsunami.
Tang Ya, who was within the protective range of the Fragrant and Exquisite Fairy Item, felt her breath catch in her throat, as if she were in the midst of a raging sea, and felt as insignificant as a small boat that could be crushed at any moment.
Fortunately, the fragrance emanating from the Fragrant Silk Fairy Protected her, shielding her from most of the direct pressure of soul power.
"This kid—who is he?" The deep, resonant voice of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, like the rumble of the earth, exclaimed in shock, "He can actually ignite the true fire left behind by the Fire Dragon King? This is no joke."
"His fire control ability far surpasses mine; he was able to control and purify this true fire as soon as he arrived." Lie Huoxing's voice was complex as she frankly admitted, "Moreover, he has fused at least three different divine bird true fires within him. Even I can't understand how he did it."
"It's not just fire," the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass's cool voice interjected, tinged with a hint of doubt, "When you two were dueling just now, I smelled a strange aura of extreme ice on him. Although it was very faint, it was of an extremely high level, definitely not an ordinary thing."
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is about to change. None of us can directly face the Fire Dragon King's malevolent aura and true fire."
"The Path of the Tulips and Jade".
The gazes of the six soul beasts, some scrutinizing, some shocked, and some puzzled, were all focused on Lin Feng, who was enveloped in the Fire Dragon King's true fire and whose aura was constantly rising.
The atmosphere in the valley was extremely heavy.
"Blue Silver Grass?" The deep voice of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon rang out again, his gaze turning to Tang Ya with scrutiny and reminiscence. "The aura on this little girl—could she be a descendant of that person?"
"Yes and no," Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin interjected, explaining, "She's probably from a collateral branch, as she doesn't possess the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul of the Tang clan. However, she is currently the sect leader of the Tang Clan."
"Tang Sect—Sect Leader?" Qi Luo Tulip's voice suddenly rose, tinged with sarcasm. "Ten thousand years have passed, and the once illustrious Tang Sect has fallen to this state? The sect leader's cultivation is merely that of a minor Soul Master?"
These words were like cold needles piercing Tang Ya's heart. She pursed her lips, but did not utter a word in rebuttal, nor did she attempt to explain the hardships the Tang Clan had endured over the past thousand years.
Her gaze remained fixed on Lin Feng, who was enveloped in crimson flames and whose condition was unknown, above the blazing Yangquan Spring. Her eyes were filled with worry and determination.
Lin Feng's body trembled violently, and his face turned ashen instantly.
His aura suddenly became chaotic, reaching the point of collapse.
He swayed, then spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof," and lost all support, plummeting straight down into the boiling, surging hot spring below!
"Raymond Lam—"
Tang Ya cried out, and without regard for anything else, she rushed towards the boiling, scorching Yangquan Spring. The Blue Silver Grass in her hand grew wildly, and she even wanted to reach into the spring to save Lin Feng.
"You're courting death!" Youxiang Qiluo Immortal hurriedly used her soul power to firmly bind her to the spot. Tang Ya struggled desperately, her eyes filled with despair.
"He's not dead yet." Lie Huoxing suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a strange tone, "I can feel—he still has an extremely faint breath left."
Tang Ya suddenly stopped and finally ceased struggling.
Time slipped away silently amidst the torment, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Feng was suspended deep within the scorching Yangquan Spring, feeling as if he were in purgatory, enduring indescribable torment.
Before him lay the enormous, mountain-like remains of the Fire Dragon King.
On the skeleton, a deep sword mark running through the skull is clearly visible, and the edges still retain a terrifying sword intent that makes one's soul tremble. Endless years have not been able to erase it.
All the beast fire within his body was completely suppressed, and was being frantically drawn out and devoured by the surrounding broken and chaotic dragon souls; even the Blue Silver Netherfire could not escape it.
Only the Xuanbing Spirit Flame still burned stubbornly within him, desperately protecting his nearly collapsing body and his crumbling spiritual sea, like the last unmelting piece of ice in a furnace.
In the past, the progenitor of soul beasts, the Dragon God, had nine sons, namely the seven elemental holy dragons of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space. Together with the mountain dragon and the strongest dragon son, the Golden Dragon, they were known as the Nine Great Dragon Lords.
In the great war of the gods, the Dragon God was defeated and perished, and the nine Dragon Lords also met different fates.
Among them, the Water Dragon King (also known as the Ice Dragon King) and the Fire Dragon King both perished, and their remains fell into the Sunset Forest, eventually forming the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Over countless years, although the two dragon skeletons have lost their spiritual consciousness, their overwhelming resentment and malevolence have never dissipated, troubling all the plants in the valley.
At this moment, the originally formless dragon soul, aided by Lin Feng's strange fire and soul power, began to solidify into a tangible form.
"Welcome, Dragon Lord!"
Feeling the irresistible pressure of the deity, the six immortal herb soul beasts took several steps back in unison, their faces showing respect and solemnity.
Above the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, a crimson dragon formed entirely of flames had already taken shape!
Its entire body radiated dazzling brilliance, and its incomparably powerful dragon might swept out as if it were a tangible force. Even the six 100,000-year-old soul beasts couldn't help but change color and were forced to take another step back.
As this dragon soul fully manifested, the balance that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had maintained for ten thousand years was suddenly broken!
The raging power of the scorching Yangquan began to erode the frigid Bingquan on the other side, causing chaos in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the valley, and terrifying violent energy and true fire power erupted wildly.
They could all clearly feel that although the Fire Dragon King had perished and his consciousness had been extinguished, leaving only his dragon soul, the pressure and will originating from his bloodline and divine status were still incredibly powerful and terrifying.
"Quickly! Join forces and stabilize the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!" Qiluo Tulip shouted sharply.
Without further ado, the six 100,000-year-old soul beasts instantly unleashed their full soul power.
Six powerful soul energies intertwined to form a giant net, barely covering the violently shaking Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, and trying their best to prevent the destructive malevolent energy and true fire energy from completely erupting and leaking out.
