The previously mirror-calm Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was suddenly churned at this moment as if by an invisible giant hand.
The crimson and ice-blue waters no longer lay quietly and distinctly in the lake bed; instead, they suddenly surged and swirled, then boomed as they soared into the sky.
Two thick columns of water rose from the ground, and two massive figures gradually took shape within the churning lake water.
The man in purple and the five Vicious Beasts behind him retreated several steps almost simultaneously at the sight.
The six Vicious Beasts bowed in unison, their voices synchronized with a reverence that bordered on pilgrimage: "Welcome, Dragon Lord!"
Floating above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were giant Dragons formed from the two colors of lake water—one ice-blue, one fiery red.
This was by no means an ability the lake water itself could possess, for what was being emitted right now was true Dragon Clan pressure.
Zang Xin's expression finally changed completely. He instinctively reached out his arm to shield Huo Yuhao behind him.
His voice deepened, but held no trace of fear: "Is this your source of confidence?"
The man in purple smiled; there was pride, relief, and a sense of exhilaration from finally being able to hold his head high after being suppressed for too long.
"So what if it is? Amorous Douluo, even if you are a Limit Douluo, you will stay here today."
Zang Xin laughed out of sheer anger: "With just them?"
The confidence on the man in purple's face grew even stronger. He tilted his chin slightly: "Hehe, the Amorous Douluo is truly arrogant. Do you know the origins of the two Dragon Lords?"
Zang Xin looked up at the two massive creatures above, not responding. The more he sensed them, the further his heart sank.
He had roamed the continent for most of his life, and his strength as a Limit Douluo allowed him to walk tall almost anywhere. But at this moment, he clearly felt a threat.
Seeing that Zang Xin didn't reply, the man in purple's smile became even more brilliant.
He cleared his throat and said, "The Dragon God sired nine sons, who are the Nine Great Dragon Kings."
"After the Dragon God fell, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King died in battle one after another."
"The reason the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could form is precisely because this is the place where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell!"
"And what you are facing right now," the man in purple pointed at the two Dragons coiled above the lake, the curve of his lips almost frantic, "are the Dragon Souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings."
He paused, his gaze landing on Zang Xin's face, and gave a cold snort: "Even if only their Dragon Souls remain, that is still Divine Rank power. Leaving the Amorous Douluo here today is naturally a simple matter."
As the man in purple finished speaking, the expression on Zang Xin's face finally became completely solemn.
He truly hadn't expected that deep within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which the Tang Sect had controlled for Ten Thousand Years, Divine Rank power still remained.
In the crowd, something happened that no one noticed.
Gu Yue and Na'er glanced at each other. They also hadn't expected to see 'familiar dragons' on this trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As the Silver Dragon King and the other half of the Dragon God, in terms of seniority, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King could even be considered her children.
Both of them looked up in unison at the two massive dragon shadows coiled above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
A hint of compassion flashed simultaneously in their purple and silver eyes. It was the most instinctive resonance from deep within the Bloodline of their kind, a bond that remained unbroken even after Ten Thousand Years of life and death.
Amidst this suffocating silence, a heaven-shaking Sword Intent suddenly erupted from Zang Xin's body. That Sword Intent soared into the sky, so sharp it almost tore the Seven-Colored Haze overhead in two. As the Sword Intent burst forth, Zang Xin's body was rapidly covered by a layer of crystal-clear silver armor.
Behind the armor, three pairs of broad wings slowly unfurled. The silver armor seemed like a living thing, with layers of light flowing within it, and countless complex and gorgeous patterns appeared on its surface.
Finally, a silver-white mask also covered Zang Xin's face. The patterns on the mask wound like vines, eventually blooming into the shape of a meticulously carved rose.
This was precisely the four-word battle armor of the Amorous Douluo, Zang Xin—Qing Shang Yan Yu!
Zang Xin didn't say another word. With a light flap of the three pairs of wings on his back, he soared into the air to confront the two massive Dragons, his aura not falling behind in the slightest.
Below on the lakeshore, the expressions of the six Vicious Beasts all changed at once.
The man in purple's face lost its color instantly, and his lips couldn't help but tremble: "Divine Rank? How is that possible?!"
In mid-air, Zang Xin slowly lowered his head, his gaze from behind the mask piercing through the cold armor to land on the man in purple's face.
With the battle armor donned, his tone seemed to return to its previous gentleness: "Nothing is impossible. The development of human Soul Tool technology is far beyond your imagination."
The Vicious Beasts, who had been full of confidence just moments ago, now looked as pale as death.
Just a moment before the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, suspended in the air with his Sword Intent steadily rising, was about to strike, a clear voice rang out from behind.
"Senior Amorous, there is no need to strike!"
Everyone's gaze was pulled toward that voice at the same instant.
Na'er tossed her long silver hair and stepped out from the crowd.
"Na'er!" Behind her, the Holy Spirit Douluo, Ya Li, called out.
A rare trace of anxiety flickered across her usually calm and gentle face. Now was not the time for this little ancestor to cause trouble.
However, Na'er turned her head and gave her Master's Wife a reassuring look.
Zang Xin remained suspended in mid-air. He didn't know what Na'er intended to do, but he truly did not continue his attack.
At that moment, Gu Yue also took a step forward and reached out to grasp Na'er's right hand.
Watching this scene, a sense of unexplainable strangeness rose in Huo Yuhao's heart. He thought to himself, don't these two usually clash whenever they meet? When did they get so close?
In the next moment, two completely different auras soared into the sky from the two girls.
What erupted from Na'er was a violent and domineering golden energy. What rose from Gu Yue was a misty silver radiance, with seven-colored hues surging around it.
Furthermore, these two completely unrelated energies actually showed signs of merging.
The moment these two auras erupted from Gu Yue and Na'er, the two Dragon Souls in mid-air confronting Zang Xin both froze for a moment.
Their gazes shifted away from Zang Xin.
Two pairs of dragon eyes, one blue and one red, slowly turned toward the two girls standing side by side with their hands tightly clasped.
*Splash!*
The lake water above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well crashed down from mid-air, slamming back into the lake bed and splashing up huge waves.
The two Dragon Souls that had originally been enveloped by the lake water, however, retracted their crushing Divine Rank aura amidst the roaring sound of falling water. Like two streaks of light, they dove down from mid-air and arrived beside Gu Yue and Na'er in an instant.
They did not attack; they didn't even show any hostility.
The two Dragon Souls excitedly circled and flew around the two girls, even showing a sense of deep filial affection.
Even if only two Dragon Souls remained, the imprint carved into the Dragon Clan Bloodline would never dissipate.
They had clearly recognized the Bloodline Power within Gu Yue and Na'er!
