Below the abyss lies only deathly silence and darkness.
After Dongfang Jing's body was initially refined through the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, he was already able to swim freely in the spring water.
But what he was enduring at that moment was the terrifying pressure from a depth of 10,000 meters.
If his physical body hadn't been incredibly resilient, he would probably have been crushed into a pile of minced meat by now.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Activating his eye-shaped soul bone finally allowed him to see the truth.
It was a flat lakebed made of unidentified black rocks.
But when his gaze slowly moved to the sides, he froze instantly.
To his left and right, two enormous skeletons lay silently at the bottom of the abyss.
"dragon?"
Dongfang Jing slowly approached one of the bodies, his heart filled with overwhelming shock.
The dragon skeleton was entirely crystalline ice blue, emitting a faint glow even in the darkness.
The other was a deep crimson, as if lava had flowed through its bones.
No wonder Qiu'er sensed that there was something similar to her at the bottom of the spring.
It turns out that the remains of two real dragons were sleeping here!
Dongfang Jing reached out and carefully touched the edge of the dragon skeleton.
The seemingly solid dragon bone silently turned into dust the moment he touched it, disappearing into the dark water.
These two dragons have been dead for countless millennia; even their bones have long since weathered away and become extremely fragile.
He slowly withdrew his hand.
immediately,
Dongfang Jing unleashed his spiritual power and began to carefully examine the two enormous dragon skeletons.
soon,
He then discovered two exceptionally powerful energy sources at the heart sites of the two dragon skeletons.
He swam over.
Two round and translucent beads were seen floating quietly in the center of the dragon's chest cavity.
It was fiery red, radiating a scorching heat.
A crystal-blue, icy blue object, brimming with extremely cold energy.
"Dragon Pill!"
Dongfang Jing's eyes widened instantly.
He remembered what Biji and Qiu'er had told him: the Dragon Core is an energy body that gradually condenses after a dragon reaches adulthood, possessing the dragon's bloodline and primordial power.
Its greatest function is to purify the physical body and improve the quality of blood and bones.
If one could absorb a dragon core, their physical strength would be comparable to that of a real dragon, and it could even be used to condense a soul core!
There are two here.
Not long ago, he used the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors to replicate the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Does that mean there are a total of four Dragon Pills?
Dongfang Jing suppressed his emotions and continued to observe his surroundings, hoping to find any other treasures such as soul bones.
Judging from this, the two dragons were at least at the level of ferocious beasts when they were alive, and may even have been at the level of gods!
Their dragon cores have survived for so long, their soul bones should have been born at the same time.
Unfortunately, after searching around, he found nothing except the two floating dragon pills.
Dongfang Jing stopped thinking about it and slowly approached Long Dan, reaching out his hand to take away these two dragon treasures.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the dragon pill.
boom--!
An invisible, terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from the two dragon skeletons!
The entire bottom of the abyss trembled violently!
Caught off guard, Dongfang Jing was violently thrown away by the force.
He steadied himself and looked up in horror.
Two enormous dragon-shaped phantoms, one red and one blue, slowly rose from the two skeletons.
Their eyes, one a fiery crimson gold and the other a cold, icy blue, were fixed on Dongfang Jing with boundless majesty and vicissitude.
"Mere mortal!"
"How dare you covet my dragon clan's treasure!"
The one who spoke was the giant red dragon.
The ancient and powerful voice did not travel through the water, but exploded directly in his mind!
Dongfang Jing felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if it were being torn apart.
These two dragon souls are none other than the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King.
Even to the naked eye, it is clear that they are extremely weak.
But he was once a god-king level being, and even with only a remnant soul remaining, his power is something that Dongfang Jing cannot contend with now.
The next moment,
A terrifying light suddenly erupted from the two indifferent eyes of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.
They are trying to invade the spiritual world of Dongfang Jing!
From the root of the problem, we must completely eradicate this audacious human!
Dongfang Jing was greatly alarmed.
He didn't have time to make any move at all.
Before he could unleash the Mirror Body Soul Split, the two enormous dragon souls, so large they obscured his vision, had already burrowed into his brow.
There was no sound, no light or shadow.
Consciousness was instantly swallowed up by pure white pain.
Then, they plunged into endless darkness.
Just when Dongfang Jing himself felt that he had really messed up this time.
A majestic yet ethereal female voice suddenly rang out in the darkness.
The voice was not loud, but it carried an absolute authority that could not be questioned, like a divine decree that was law.
"roll."
The woman's voice rang out again, her tone carrying a hint of disdain and contempt.
"Two little bugs that should have died dared to lay a hand on the heir I've chosen."
The moment the words fell,
Dongfang Jing's consciousness was then completely plunged into a vortex of darkness.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
In a daze, Dongfang Jing slowly opened his eyes.
What catches the eye is a clear, azure sky, and a few wisps of white clouds drifting lazily by.
He sat bolt upright, his mind blank.
"I'm alive?"
He immediately raised his hand, touched his cheek, and checked his heartbeat and pulse.
Everything is normal.
He tried circulating his soul power, and the familiar power flowed smoothly through his limbs and bones without any stagnation.
There was no physical damage, nor did I feel any mental pain.
It was as if the two dragon souls that had unleashed a deadly attack that would have shattered his soul was nothing but a dream.
Yet the oppression it brought him felt so real.
After confirming that his vital signs were still intact
Dongfang Jing breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around at the scenery.
Upon seeing this, he was completely stunned.
Beneath my feet lies a vast, boundless sea of clouds.
The layers of clouds are pure white and move slowly like the tide.
Several floating islands of varying sizes float quietly above the clouds, stretching to the horizon.
The dark green rocks are covered with glistening moss, and the edges of the island are shrouded in a light, veil-like mist.
The area is shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding an ethereal aura.
Dongfang Jing's pupils contracted slightly.
'This scene...'
He recalled the scene that his master, Biji, and sister Xue'er had secretly and subtly described, which he had seen in his spiritual world.
Exactly the same.
Dongfang Jing found himself standing on the largest floating island in the center.
The ground beneath my feet didn't feel like hard rock.
Rather, it possesses a unique texture that is warm and smooth like jade, yet also has a touch of softness.
Dongfang Jing stood up, filled with doubt.
'Is this... my mental world?'
'But when I looked inward, all I saw was a calm sea of the mind.'
Why now...?
Dongfang Jing subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the azure sky.
There was nothing there.
There were no eyes that Master had described, eyes that shimmered with golden light.
'Is the owner of that majestic female voice a deity from the divine realm?'
'Is the heir she's talking about... me?'
