Inside the underground cavern, there was no longer the slightest trace of water. Everything had been forced away by the fluctuations emitted from the Clear Sky Hammer.
At this moment, Yun Chuan held the gray and hazy Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, his entire body rising into the air as he slowly flew toward the two enormous corpses below. The closer he got, the more clearly he could feel the terrifying pressure. He chose one of the dragon corpses first and carefully landed on the jagged scales on its back.
The moment his body landed on the dragon corpse's back, Yun Chuan felt the surrounding temperature drop sharply. In an instant, it was as if he had fallen into the deepest part of an ice cave that had existed for tens of thousands of years—extreme cold piercing to the bone, his entire body nearly frozen stiff!
"What terrifying cold! I didn't expect that even after being dead for so long, the corpse itself would still retain such terrifying power!" He was secretly shocked. Although he had consumed two immortal herbs and gained resistance to ice and fire, that resistance had its limits—it was not absolute immunity to all ice and fire. Obviously, the cold attribute of the Frost Dragon's body before him had already faintly exceeded the limits of his ice resistance.
Feeling that his body was about to freeze, the five-element light within Yun Chuan circulated, cleansing his body and eliminating the invading cold energy. Then, maintaining the state of five-element power protecting his body, he waved his hand. Surging soul power swept away the sand and碎岩 covering the dragon scales, finally revealing the true appearance of this dragon corpse.
White light shimmered, pure as snow, with ice-blue mysterious patterns winding around it, adding a few traces of magnificence and mystery. Without a doubt, this was the corpse of the Ice Dragon King among the two great Dragon Kings!
"Puff!"
To test the sturdiness of this ancient corpse, Yun Chuan exerted force with his right leg and stomped downward. Yet the seemingly indestructible scales actually shattered instantly under his stomp, revealing the shriveled flesh beneath.
"Huh? The corpse possesses such terrifying cold energy—how can it be so fragile?!" He was extremely surprised. At this moment, he could clearly feel that this dragon corpse, dead for many years, although it looked intact on the surface, was actually far less solid than it had been when alive.
It seemed that even a god-level dragon, after being dead for so many years and washed away by time, would eventually become fragile.
"Forget it, let's first see if there are any treasures like soul bones inside." Yun Chuan closed his eyes, pressed his hand against the scales, and released the power within his body. He began exploring the dragon corpse's body. His perception instantly enveloped the dragon corpse that was hundreds of meters long…
After some time.
Yun Chuan opened his eyes again and said in disbelief, "None?!"
Clearly, he had not found anything resembling soul bones inside this dragon corpse. There was not even the legendary dragon pearl—only a massive but fragile shell remained.
"How could there be nothing?!"
Unwilling to accept it, Yun Chuan quickly flew to the other dragon corpse. Ignoring the suddenly scorching temperature around him, he pressed his hand against the scales, injected his soul power, and began sensing again…
Moments later.
When Yun Chuan opened his eyes again, disappointment was hard to hide in them. At the same time, he already had some guesses in his heart as to why he could not find any soul bones.
"I understand now. In the era of the Dragon God, the rules of Douluo Continent were not the same as they are now. At that time, soul beasts would not produce soul rings or soul bones after death. It was only after the Dragon God fell that the gods, in order to completely suppress the development of the beast race, altered the rules of Douluo Continent. That was what led to soul beasts producing soul rings and soul bones after death. Therefore, as divine beasts that existed in the Dragon God era, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings obviously do not belong to the category of soul beasts. Naturally, they would not have soul bones."
After figuring everything out, Yun Chuan sighed, then looked at the dragon corpse beneath his feet, disappointment hard to hide in his eyes.
"What a pity. These two dragon corpses have been dead for far too long. The essence of power in their bodies, or things like dragon pearls, must have already completely merged into the surrounding environment under the erosion of time. That is why this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes treasure land was formed!"
"Now, these two dragon corpses are nothing more than two beautiful but fragile empty shells. Even if you took them to make soup, there wouldn't be any nutrition." Yun Chuan felt very disappointed. He had descended with great excitement, only to find such a result. It was extremely discouraging.
"Huh? What is this?!"
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something from the dragon corpse beneath his feet.
"A kind of life aura? Or rather, vitality?"
Yun Chuan hesitated. In the past, he had never been able to sense such a thing. But now, he could vaguely feel a kind of "life" fluctuation.
With a thought, following instinctive guidance—
Yun Chuan summoned his other martial soul—the Life Goddess!
When the Life Goddess martial soul, clad in a colorful dress, appeared, Yun Chuan's perception became even sharper. He could clearly feel that the dragon corpse beneath his feet still contained a kind of vitality!
Could it be that this dragon corpse was not completely dead?
Yun Chuan felt curious, but at this moment his attention had already been completely drawn to the Life Goddess martial soul.
Judging purely from appearance, the Life Goddess martial soul looked no different from before. She was still blue-haired and blue-eyed, wearing the dress of myriad life.
But he felt that something about this martial soul had changed.
Where exactly was it different?
Yun Chuan examined the Life Goddess martial soul from head to toe. After a long while, his pupils suddenly contracted! He finally discovered what was wrong.
"Physical body?!"
He stared in astonishment at the Life Goddess martial soul, which had previously been slightly illusory but was now completely solid, and said in disbelief:
"How is this possible?!"
Yun Chuan quickly controlled the Life Goddess martial soul to approach him. As she drew near, a fresh and natural fragrance rushed toward him. He could even see her full chest gently rising and falling with her breathing… This had absolutely not existed before—after all, she had previously only been a phantom.
But now…
Looking at her up close, she seemed like a living person.
Except that her beautiful blue eyes were dull and lifeless.
Still unwilling to believe it, Yun Chuan reached out and curiously pinched "her" cheek. The touch felt warm and moist, and she actually had the temperature of a normal person. Standing so close, he could even hear her steady breathing, exhaling fragrant air.
In disbelief, Yun Chuan placed his hand on her swollen chest and actually felt a heartbeat beneath the thick softness—thump, thump, thump. It was simply unbelievable.
"Alive? What the hell is this?!"
Yun Chuan was completely dumbfounded.
How did my martial soul become like this?
This is too absurd.
"Cases of physical martial souls are not unheard of. For example, in the original work, Master's Luo Sanpao was a type of physical martial soul and even possessed a certain level of intelligence." Yun Chuan began analyzing the abnormal situation before him.
"But a physical martial soul to my extent is really too ridiculous. It actually has body temperature, heartbeat, and breathing? Is this still a martial soul? Are you sure it's not some kind of clone or something??"
Looking at the Life Goddess martial soul before him, who looked like a living少女, he thought to himself:
"Can this thing still possess me now?"
As soon as this thought arose, the woman in front of him turned into a ray of light and merged into his body.
Jet-black hair and eyes, along with the merging of the Life Goddess martial soul into his body, all transformed into beautiful blue-silver. Yun Chuan's overall appearance did not change much. He did not lose any flesh, nor did he gain any extra parts. Of course, if he wanted, he could directly transform 100% into the martial soul's appearance—but he definitely would not do that.
"Other than becoming physical, there is no impact on martial soul possession." A ray of light left Yun Chuan's body and once again transformed into the Life Goddess. After returning to his original state, Yun Chuan judged based on the previous condition.
"It seems that this kind of change in the martial soul probably happened because I consumed those two immortal herbs, and then, with the help of the uniquely favorable environment here, gathered yin, yang, and the five elements within my body… which led to such a wondrous transformation." Yun Chuan guessed.
"And the Ice and Fire Tempered Body… could this be the golden body that was refined?" He cast a strange look toward the Life Goddess beside him, whose gaze was dull.
"So now that this Life Goddess martial soul has become physical, what kind of changes has it gained?"
