Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Achieving Body Cultivation, Lu Yunzhou's Power
For the sake of ensuring the Silver Dragon King's survival against Lu Yunzhou,
For the resurrection of the Dragon God,
For the future of both the Soul Beasts and Divine Beasts,
The Ice Dragon King finally gave her answer. She chose to concede to Lu Yunzhou and submit to him.
"I only hope… my power doesn't end up bursting you apart," she said coldly.
Without hesitation or deliberation, the Ice Dragon King mobilized all the energy remaining within the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eye.
Then, in an instant, it surged toward Lu Yunzhou in an overwhelming torrent.
From her stance, it was clear that unless she succeeded in either overloading or destroying Lu Yunzhou, she would not rest.
Faced with this situation, Lu Yunzhou couldn't afford to be careless.
After all, underestimating his opponent could lead to disastrous consequences.
His gaze hardened, his brows furrowing deeply as he activated a mystical technique to counter the Ice Dragon King's full-force assault of primal energy:
"Nine Breaths of Energy Assimilation!"
As the technique took effect, the chaotic influx of icy elemental energy suddenly transformed. It was no longer a disorganized flood but instead orderly streams of spiritual energy, which Lu Yunzhou absorbed into his body steadily and methodically.
Seeing this, the Ice Dragon King was stunned.
Her eyes widened as she repeatedly confirmed what was happening before her.
"These energies are mine. Yet now… he controls them completely. Who is this man? Back in the Dragon God Realm, I don't recall any individual of his caliber. Could he have risen from a later generation?"
The Ice Dragon King gradually abandoned thoughts of retaliation.
Clearly, Lu Yunzhou had reached a level far beyond her ability to oppose.
Accepting reality, she chose submission over futile resistance.
As Lu Yunzhou absorbed the Ice Dragon King's primal energy, he simultaneously refined the Fire Dragon King's energy and a drop of Titan Giant Ape's heart blood using the 'Nine Breaths of Energy Assimilation' technique from his Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars Art.
Through this process, the raw power was converted into concentrated spiritual energy, which Lu Yunzhou absorbed seamlessly.
Time passed swiftly.
Day turned to night, and night to day, the cycle repeating no fewer than seven times.
By the time all the primal energy and spiritual energy within the spring were completely absorbed, Lu Yunzhou had successfully advanced—becoming a Body Cultivator.
Feeling the surging power within him—boundless and inexhaustible—a faint smile curved on his lips.
Body cultivation was one of the true paths of immortality.
A powerful Body Cultivator could traverse the cosmos with their physical strength alone, shatter the void with a single punch, and dismantle the very laws of existence.
This led to a state known as Indestructible Divinity, where one stood unparalleled.
Lu Yunzhou had only just embarked on this path, and while his strength was not yet overwhelming, the future was limitless.
However, the process of transformation left him completely unclothed, his garments reduced to tatters.
His skin was now covered in golden lines, forming intricate patterns that shimmered with a radiant glow.
These patterns were breathtaking, resembling the finest of celestial treasures.
As Lu Yunzhou marveled at his transformation, a familiar, icy voice broke the moment.
"Human, remember your promise to me. If you fail, neither the Soul Beasts nor Divine Beasts will forgive you. You carry the essence of both the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings."
Lu Yunzhou smirked disdainfully at her words, brushing off the warning.
"Even now, you dare threaten me? Where do you get such audacity? Rest well. Perhaps someday, if I'm in a good mood, I might even use an immortal technique to bring you back to life."
With that, the Ice Dragon King fell silent, retreating into slumber.
Although Lu Yunzhou had absorbed all of the Ice Dragon King's primal energy, he spared a sliver of her soul, allowing her to reside within him.
As for the Fire Dragon King?
It had long since been obliterated, its soul scattered and its existence erased.
"Go," Lu Yunzhou commanded.
Raising his right hand, he brought two fingers together and released a thread of the Ice Dragon King's energy and a thread of the Fire Dragon King's energy.
The two streams shot into the depths of the spring, vanishing into the ground below.
While he had taken nearly all the primal energy from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, leaving these fragments ensured that the vitality of this "Treasure Basin" would persist.
After all, abandoning a resource entirely wasn't in his nature.
Having finished, Lu Yunzhou used his spiritual sense to confirm that everything was in order. Satisfied, he tapped the ground lightly with his foot and began his return journey from the spring.
At the same time, on another side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Qian Renxue had successfully cultivated her Golden Body Technique.
Her transformation resembled a rebirth.
Her skin became even fairer, smoother, and softer, while her aura grew more commanding.
Though her technique was complete, Qian Renxue remained unconscious.
Lu Yunzhou estimated it would take at least ten days for her to awaken.
The potency of the two immortal herbs was simply too overwhelming, and given her meager Qi Refining stage, it was unsurprising that she required more time to fully assimilate their effects.
Thus, Lu Yunzhou decided to leave her within the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eye, allowing her to absorb the residual medicinal properties with its energy.
The actions of the two Dragon Kings had caused a massive disturbance in the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eye, inevitably drawing the attention of Dugu Bo.
Standing at the edge, Dugu Bo gazed at the spring with a grave expression.
"What on earth is that brat doing down there? How could he cause such commotion? And staying for so long—he's not courting death, is he? Even someone like me wouldn't dare linger within for this long!"
The peak-level Rank 97 Titled Douluo swallowed nervously, his apprehension palpable.
Even at his level, the terrifying aura of the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eye was enough to make him cautious.
Yet Lu Yunzhou not only entered with ease but had seemingly made it his home.
No wonder Dugu Bo was shaken to the core.
