Shen Hanyu was currently very speechless. Although he had prepared in advance for possible accidents, such an enormous accident was truly beyond his expectations.
Although there were indeed considerable gains, this accident was truly a bit too big, so big that it left Shen Hanyu somewhat drenched in cold sweat.
But in the end, the main objective of this trip had been accomplished, so it wasn't exactly a loss.
The sacrifice of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remnant souls had, as he anticipated, successfully granted him a near-god-level second martial soul, and the first and second soul rings of this second martial soul were both god-level soul rings.
However, the subsequent soul rings he needed to acquire left Shen Hanyu feeling troubled.
Extreme Ice was relatively easy to find. Although soul beasts with this attribute were rare in the Far North or the oceans, there were still traces to follow. But for soul beasts with the Extreme Fire attribute, Shen Hanyu had never seen or heard of any appearing on the continent.
Although this was from tens of thousands of years ago, when the Fire Phoenix clan still existed, Shen Hanyu wasn't too worried about it at the time. But the problem lay exactly there; ever since the Fire Phoenixes vanished into the river of time, there were still plenty of fire-attribute soul beasts on the continent, such as the Blazing Lion King, the White-Armored Fire Crystal Dragon, the Earth Flame Lizard, and other powerful fire-attribute soul beasts. However, no matter how strong these soul beasts were, compared to Extreme Fire, they were as different as heaven and earth.
The concentration of fire elements in these soul beasts was just average, far from Extreme Fire by a vast margin. Compared to Extreme Ice, they were like ants and utterly unable to play a balancing role.
After pondering for a while, Shen Hanyu turned his gaze toward an immortal herb inside his soul guide device.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which had miraculous effects on fire-attribute soul masters. It was the top-grade immortal herb that Ma Hongjun consumed in the original story, and it was the first and most effective step in removing the evil fire from Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix, allowing it to evolve into Extreme Fire.
Back then, since Shen Hanyu couldn't find anyone suitable to consume this immortal herb, he simply kept it on him. Now, it finally came in handy.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Hanyu already had an idea in mind.
Since this immortal herb had such a powerful effect on fire attributes, he could completely refine its essence into a pill, then find a soul beast with suitable age and attributes, feed it the pill, wait for its fire attribute to evolve into Extreme Fire, and then hunt it.
Ideas needed to be put into practice. Shen Hanyu silently calculated in his mind where on the continent there might be suitable soul beasts.
However, after thinking for a bit, Shen Hanyu temporarily gave up on it. This matter needed to be discussed properly with Tian Meng once he got back; thinking about it now wouldn't help.
The most important thing right now was to leave this sunless, ghostly place.
Shen Hanyu slowly stood up, stretching his somewhat stiff muscles and bones. He clearly felt that his height had grown a bit taller again.
Completely different energies flowed through his arms, bringing him power dozens of times greater than before. The amplification from the god-level soul bones, for his current self, was no less than the boost from a seventh soul skill plus two or three amplification-type soul skills.
With a casual wave of his hand, the left arm bone from the ten-thousand-year Profound Sea Glazed Beast was steadily caught in Shen Hanyu's hand.
He himself had no use for this soul bone, but others could still use it. After all, neither the quality nor the age of this soul bone was bad. He could prepare better ones for those close to him, but giving it away during a critical period to someone with a more ordinary relationship would still be very useful.
Shen Hanyu's face was still somewhat pale. Although the internal injuries in his body had recovered quite a bit from absorbing the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, they remained extremely severe. Injuries that damaged the origin wouldn't heal so easily. Shen Hanyu had already decided that after getting out, he would rest and recuperate for a while, then go acquire his eighth soul ring. After completing that, he would properly rest for a period. His body needed quiet recuperation, and incidentally, he would begin preparing to break through to the Titled Douluo realm afterward; this was the top priority.
The Cold Heaven Spear appeared in Shen Hanyu's hand. The blood-red pattern on the spear shaft had become even more distinct, forming a sharp contrast with the blue spear body and giving it a unique kind of beauty.
Switching martial souls, Shen Hanyu's blue-purple long hair gradually turned into a dual color of ice blue and red. Ice-blue and red dragon scales slowly appeared on the exposed skin of Shen Hanyu's body, his hands transformed into sharp dragon claws, and a pair of enormous dual-colored dragon wings, as if condensed from crystal, appeared behind him, carrying him slowly upward into the sky.
This was his second martial soul, born from the fusion of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remnant souls with him, the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul martial soul. This martial soul had no exact name, yet at its origin, it possessed the purest divinity, a power that came from the origin of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, true power belonging to gods.
At the same time, Shen Hanyu discovered that these two dragon souls could not only allow him to manifest draconic features and immense combat power like ordinary dragon-type martial souls, and after complete possession grant him the skill of full dragon transformation—somewhat similar to the ancestral dragon transformation secret technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, but its strength far surpassed what the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could compare to. Moreover, these two god-level dragon souls could be used separately or together to attach to the Cold Heaven Spear for assisting in battle. It was practically a massive portable cheat.
The enormous dragon wings carried Shen Hanyu at a terrifying speed as he directly charged out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, flying straight into the high sky. Vast heaven and earth energy was stirred, causing the ice and fire attribute energies in the surrounding air to surge violently, nearly condensing into substance for a moment.
Dugu Bo, who had been hiding somewhere unknown, quickly arrived at Shen Hanyu's side, shocked as he looked at the draconic features on Shen Hanyu's body. For a time, he didn't even know what to say.
Ever since Shen Hanyu entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo had hardly left the vicinity. One reason was concern for Shen Hanyu, and the other was that he wanted to see what exactly these things that Shen Hanyu valued so highly were; these things had all tugged at his heart.
From some time earlier, as a Titled Douluo, he had clearly noticed the heaven and earth energy around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well beginning to riot, and he guessed it was related to Shen Hanyu. Now that it was truly confirmed, as one of that small handful of existences standing at the peak of the continent, he instead felt somewhat at a loss...
Shen Hanyu, on the other hand, didn't feel there was anything unusual. He smiled lightly and said:
"Old fart, this time I really have to thank you for protecting me."
Dugu Bo shook his head, sighed, and said:
"You kid, I don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter you've had again. In just a few short months, you've undergone such enormous changes, it truly makes this old man feel ashamed..."
Shen Hanyu smiled and said:
"Let's go, we'll talk down below. This isn't the place for conversation."
Dugu Bo nodded, then flew toward his cave dwelling. Shen Hanyu followed closely behind, the suddenly changed aura around his body quickly converging, finally slowly returning to its previous state...
