Chapter 283: Dragon Bones
Yang Xiong and Di Tian moved at incredible speeds, quickly leaving Star Dou Forest. Di Tian could fly directly, and his speed was faster than anyone Yang Xiong had ever seen, while Yang Xiong flew using his sword.
In just two days, Yang Xiong and Di Tian reached the outskirts of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
The poisonous barrier surrounding the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes posed no threat to the two of them, and they quickly entered the area.
When Di Tian entered the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes and looked at the two springs, he was stunned.
Even after living for hundreds of thousands of years, Di Tian actually knelt down in front of the two springs.
"Uncles, I never expected you both to fall here on Douluo Continent. It's my fault for not finding your bodies. It's all my fault."
Originally, Dugu Bo had been cultivating within the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes. Upon seeing Yang Xiong suddenly return, and especially with an outsider in tow, he had intended to get angry.
However, the aura emanating from Di Tian was so terrifying that even Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, was completely suppressed by Di Tian's aura. It felt like the moment he resisted, he would be killed instantly.
When Di Tian stood up again, Yang Xiong spoke first.
"Di Tian, there's a huge barrier beneath these springs, and I can't break through. Now, it's up to you."
Di Tian snorted coldly. "Of course. This barrier is unique to my Dragon Clan. Both of my uncles were Dragon King-level experts, with strength comparable to that of a God King. Even a true divine-level expert wouldn't be able to break through."
Yang Xiong nodded. "That's why I came to you. Remember, you can only take the Dragon Soul, and I will only take the Dragon Bones. This secret realm is still of great use to me; we cannot destroy it."
Yang Xiong and Di Tian exchanged a glance before both of them jumped into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
At their speed, they quickly reached the deepest part of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Before them were two rays of red and blue light. Yang Xiong had used all his strength earlier to try and break through, but he couldn't, especially since these two rays of light seemed to contain some kind of rune, far beyond Yang Xiong's understanding.
Di Tian suddenly transformed into a giant black dragon, his enormous dragon mouth letting out a roar as an overwhelming black energy surged from his body.
The black energy began to merge with the runes, and the original barrier slowly seemed to disappear.
After an unknown amount of time, the two rays of light shattered, and what appeared before Yang Xiong was an incredibly terrifying sight.
Beneath the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes, there was indeed something extraordinary. Below them was a space that stretched tens of thousands of meters, containing two enormous skeletal remains.
These were the skeletons of two giant dragons, one red and one blue. The length of their bones exceeded ten thousand meters. Even though they had been dead for countless years, an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure still emanated from them.
This aura was not something a normal soul master could compare to; it far surpassed Tang Chen and Poseidon from what Yang Xiong had previously encountered. It was absolutely divine, or even stronger.
At the same time, two enormous figures appeared in the space, one red and one blue, resembling two dragons coiling in the air.
Di Tian immediately bowed. "Greetings, Uncles. I didn't expect both of you to have fallen here on Douluo Continent."
The Fire Dragon King seemed a bit fiery. "Di Tian, you've come later than we expected."
"I didn't expect you to still be alive. Back then, when the Ice Dragon King and I attached a trace of our dragon soul to this human, I never thought he would actually have a chance to meet you. It seems that fate had already decided this."
Di Tian replied, "Uncles, it's all my fault. I had sensed the dragon aura in this human from the start, but I didn't realize it was part of your plan. I was negligent."
The Fire Dragon King shook his head. "This isn't your fault. Back then, we had no other choice but to gamble. This person's martial soul is unique. When we injected a bit of our dragon soul into his arms, we never imagined he would find us."
Di Tian replied, "Uncles, both of you are God King-level experts. Now that your souls still exist, perhaps my Dragon Clan isn't doomed."
The Fire Dragon King appeared somewhat helpless. "It's too late now. We've fallen long ago. Our bodies have completely decayed. All that's left is our lingering souls, which can never be restored to our peak strength."
"We called you here to understand the final situation of that battle. Perhaps, before we die, we can still contribute something to the Dragon Clan."
Di Tian immediately spoke. "Uncles, although our Dragon Clan was defeated, the leader is still alive. This is our last chance for a comeback."
The Fire Dragon King remained silent, but the Ice Dragon King turned to look at Yang Xiong.
"This kid is interesting. I didn't expect you to have obtained the Shura God's inheritance. Do you know the enmity between the Dragon Clan and the Shura God?"
Even though the Ice Dragon King only had a trace of a lingering soul left, from the strength it exuded, it surpassed the God-like consciousness of the Rakshasa God that Yang Xiong had encountered in the Killing City. Yang Xiong could only feel an overwhelming pressure, as if his entire soul was about to be crushed.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, I am the Shura God's heir. I acknowledge the past of the Shura God. Whether the events were right or wrong, I will take responsibility."
"But compared to the past wars, the people who are alive now are the most important. Whether for the Dragon Clan, the Soul Beast Clan, or even the coexistence of humans and soul beasts, I believe there's no need for a new war between us."
The Ice Dragon King said, "You're clever, but unfortunately, the Shura God killed many of our Dragon Clan. These grudges can't be easily erased. As his heir, you will have to bear these burdens."
Yang Xiong's lips curled into a cold smile. "All of this is just baseless. I don't know what happened back then, but as the Shura God's enforcer, as the guardian of the divine order, everything he did was to maintain the order of the divine realm."
"And as his heir, everything will be based on that order. Anyone who tries to disrupt the order, I will kill without hesitation, just like the Shura God did back then."
The Ice Dragon King, upon hearing Yang Xiong's words, quickly withdrew the pressure it had been exerting on Yang Xiong, but it continued speaking.
"Is order really that important to you? Do you know that you're just an ant right now? Both I and the Dragon Clan could easily kill you."
Yang Xiong calmly replied, "Killing me is simple, but the Shura God will eventually have a successor. The divine realm will eventually have a new Shura God, even new God Kings. Rather than finding someone who opposes the Soul Beast Clan, why not choose to cooperate with me?"
"Though I have absorbed many top-tier soul rings, I have no enmity with the Dragon Clan or the Soul Beast Clan. From the beginning, it has always been you two Dragon Kings plotting against me. Otherwise, why would I be in this situation today?"
"Moreover, compared to others, my ambitions are greater. I've risked my life countless times, striving to become stronger, all to become the strongest in this world."
"If your Dragon Clan and the Soul Beast Clan want peace, then you need to cooperate with the strongest. I am your best choice. At least I won't betray our agreement."
The Ice Dragon King seemed a bit helpless. "Fine, the strongest among the human Title Douluo is you. Perhaps with our Dragon Clan's help, you can become the strongest god, even surpass the Shura God. I hope you will honor the agreement made today."
As the Ice Dragon King finished speaking, an endless light filled the space. The two enormous dragon skeletons slowly began to gather energy, eventually forming two massive bones—one for the left arm and one for the right arm.
Under the divine power of the Ice Fire Dragon King, the two dragon bones fell into Yang Xiong's hands.
At this moment, Yang Xiong's eyes burned with excitement. He had thought of many ways to obtain the soul bones for his arms, but he never imagined he would succeed this way.
These dragon bones, of God King-level, were far stronger than any top-tier soul bones, even surpassing 100,000-year soul bones.
At the same time, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King turned into two ethereal figures and entered Di Tian's body.
As per their agreement, Yang Xiong obtained the dragon bones, and Di Tian obtained the dragon souls. What Di Tian intended to do with the dragon souls, Yang Xiong did not know.
Di Tian looked at Yang Xiong with an expression that seemed filled with conflict. Finally, he shook his head.
"Yang Xiong, remember our agreement. I hope you won't become an enemy of my Soul Beast Clan in the future."
Yang Xiong smiled. "I am not the type to go back on my word. As long as you don't oppose me, I will treat your people well and honor our agreement."
Di Tian nodded and quickly transformed into a black dragon, flying out of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Yang Xiong then carefully examined the two dragon bones in his hands. One was fire red, and the other was deep blue. They seemed to have extreme fire and ice attributes.
The bones were exceptionally beautiful and complete, shining like gemstones, with an imposing aura.
Yang Xiong used his soul power to guide the bones toward his arms.
The usual resistance to soul bones disappeared, and the two bones seemed to melt as they quickly integrated into Yang Xiong's body.
However, Yang Xiong was in great pain, as the two completely different forces fused within him. His right arm felt as if it was being burned by fire, while his left arm felt frozen solid.
Fortunately, with the help of his Yin-Yang Meditation technique, the two soul bones acted like the poles of Tai Chi, repelling and integrating at the same time, eventually calming down.
When Yang Xiong fully absorbed the two dragon bones, he felt his strength increase significantly, especially the power in his arms.
These dragon bones, combined with his Ice Fire Dragon Claws, made his arms seem as one. When the soul bones manifested, his arms were covered in dragon scales.
At this moment, Yang Xiong felt that even a casual strike from him could shake the heavens and the earth. With just his physical strength, he could battle Title Douluos. Even against Qian Jun Douluo and Jiang Mo Douluo, he wouldn't need to use his martial soul or soul rings to overpower them.
With this, Yang Xiong was now absolutely confident in obtaining his ninth soul ring.
The Fire Dragon King's right arm soul bone and the Ice Dragon King's left arm soul bone had brought his strength and power to the peak of a soul master, even capable of battling an Extreme Douluo.
