Douluo: I’m Cultivating Immortality, and I’m Still a Titled Douluo?

"Stop!"

As the Fire Dragon King unleashed its attack without hesitation, the Ice Dragon King instinctively shouted, "Don't!" At the same time, it hastily circulated its remaining strength, preparing to intervene.

A human had finally arrived, and the Ice Dragon King was not about to let him perish before understanding what the outside world had become. If Lu Yunzhou were to die here, it could only be after the Ice Dragon King had achieved its purpose!

Seeing that the Fire Dragon King intended to make a move and force him to stay in this place forever, Lu Yunzhou's face revealed a trace of disdain. He sneered and spoke:

"When I was merely at the early Foundation Establishment stage, I could suppress half-step Golden Core cultivators. Now that I've stepped into the Golden Core realm, what challenge is there in defeating someone at the late Golden Core stage?"

As he finished speaking, Lu Yunzhou seemed to recall something, adding with a smile:

"Since you dare to play with fire, today, I'll show you what it truly means to get burned."

With that, his gaze sharpened, and his expression turned cold as the vast ocean-like power around him began to heat up intensely.

"Divine Ability: Burning the Heavens, Boiling the Seas."

[Note: The divine ability "Burning the Heavens, Boiling the Seas" is different from the spell of the same name. The former encompasses heaven and earth, manifesting through a single thought, while the latter relies on one's strength to create the effect physically.]

A divine ability stems from the heart and mind. It transcends ordinary techniques, allowing one to observe others' thoughts without attachment and act with perfect clarity.

In the Golden Core realm, often referred to as the realm of Earthly Immortals, one begins to comprehend and wield divine abilities.

This time, Lu Yunzhou chose to confront the Fire Dragon King with such a technique—a mark of respect for his adversary's strength.

As Lu Yunzhou activated the divine ability, the fiery energy within the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire instantly surged to his command, becoming a part of his arsenal.

The overwhelming sense of danger this provoked struck the Fire Dragon King like a thunderclap.

Before the Fire Dragon King could fully process the threat, Lu Yunzhou spoke a single word.

"Burn."

His voice rang out as the fiery brilliance in the distance, representing the Fire Dragon King's lingering spiritual energy, caught his attention. For attempting to kill him, Lu Yunzhou had no intention of showing mercy.

With his command, a wave of fire imbued with the power to incinerate all creation surged toward the Fire Dragon King.

In a mere instant, the Fire Dragon King was utterly annihilated. The ninth of the nine Dragon Kings met his end without so much as a chance to leave behind any last words.

Having completed the task, Lu Yunzhou clasped one hand behind his back while stretching out the other. Using a remote force, he summoned the Fire Dragon King's source energy into his grasp.

Gazing at the red, triangular crystal in his palm, Lu Yunzhou understood that absorbing the immense energy contained within would require at least ten days of intense focus.

The death of the Fire Dragon King left the Ice Dragon King momentarily stunned. Though they had long since passed away, the event still stirred an indescribable emotion within the Ice Dragon King.

Snapping out of its daze, the Ice Dragon King spoke coldly:

"Human, your strength is indeed formidable. I admit I am no match for you, but I will not sit idly by and wait for death."

"I see your goal—you've come here to exploit our source energy to elevate yourself to new heights. However, I will not allow you to succeed."

With those words, the Ice Dragon King began preparing to self-destruct.

Lu Yunzhou, naturally, wouldn't allow this to happen. Letting the Ice Dragon King detonate itself would mean the failure of his mission and goals for coming to this place.

In an instant, Lu Yunzhou acted decisively, unleashing one of the Seventy-Two Earth Fiend Techniques:

"Binding Body."

This technique immobilized the Ice Dragon King entirely, freezing its body, soul, and even the surrounding spiritual energy.

As the Ice Dragon King found itself forcibly restrained, Lu Yunzhou approached with a satisfied smile.

Sensing the shift, the Ice Dragon King realized that even in its prime—a God King at its peak—it might not have been Lu Yunzhou's equal. This thought filled it with despair.

"Human, if you want to kill me, then do it quickly," it said bitterly.

To this, Lu Yunzhou shook his head indifferently and replied:

"Killing you to seize your source energy and absorb it would certainly help me advance, but it's far too troublesome and risks backlash. I'd much prefer if you willingly offered yourself to me."

Hearing this, the Ice Dragon King didn't hesitate to mock him:

"Offer myself to you? What kind of delusional nonsense is that? Dreaming in broad daylight isn't a good habit."

Before it could finish its tirade, Lu Yunzhou's next words stunned the Ice Dragon King into silence.

"If I can effortlessly kill the Fire Dragon King, what makes you think I wouldn't be able to slay the Silver Dragon King as well?"

His grin widened as he continued:

"Remember, if the Silver Dragon King dies, the Dragon God will lose all hope of resurrection. Surely, you wouldn't want to see that happen, would you?"

The Ice Dragon King's expression changed dramatically.

The revival of the Dragon God was of paramount importance. If the Silver Dragon King were to perish, not only would the soul beasts face eternal suppression, but even her foster father would lose all chance of reincarnation.

Faced with this ultimatum, the Ice Dragon King fell into inner turmoil. It detested Lu Yunzhou's methods but feared even more the destruction of everything it held dear.

Lu Yunzhou gave his final statement, leaving no room for negotiation:

"Offer your source energy to me. Do not hesitate. If you comply, I guarantee I will not harm the Silver Dragon King. Remember, in your current state, you are in no position to bargain."

As he spoke, Lu Yunzhou produced a drop of blood—the heart's essence of the 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape.

He had already prepared himself to embark on the path of body cultivation, needing only the Ice Dragon King's answer to proceed.
