Chapter 567: Peak Douluo, Ice-Fire Dragon King Arm Bones

"Clang!"

Waves of surging energy rippled out as Su Yu's entire body brimmed with a colossal, unmatched power.

Under the effect of the Dragon God's power, the Ice Dragon King's bloodline and the Fire Dragon King's bloodline began to fuse rapidly.

Both bloodlines were incredibly rare and precious, almost impossible to find in the world.

Frankly speaking, even a single drop of their essence blood could create a powerful super-beast.

Let alone the entirety of their life force?

Rippling blue-gold halos surrounded him as Su Yu's scales began to take on both blue and red hues.

Unlike the Ice Dragon King, the Fire Dragon King's bloodline carried no divine power, so it couldn't produce a new bloodline soul ring.

Yet, the bloodline's strength was still present, and together with the Ice Dragon King's bloodline, Su Yu's physique was elevated to an unprecedented peak.

Su Yu already possessed a divine body.

But now, he underwent another earth-shattering transformation on top of that foundation.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

With the integration of the Fire Dragon King's bloodline, Su Yu's heartbeat grew even louder and more powerful.

Each beat drove surging blood and energy throughout his body. Outside the blue-golden aura, a layer of crimson-gold blood flames faintly flickered.

Su Yu's vitality was so strong, it was nearly tangible.

Even a true ferocious beast couldn't possess such an astonishing amount of blood energy.

Within his dantian, the Blood Qi Golden Core was absorbing massive amounts of energy. The core, previously the size of a thumb, had now grown to the size of an egg.

This alone showed how many times Su Yu's energy had multiplied in this short time.

"Roar!"

A mighty dragon's roar erupted as the phantoms of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings burst from Su Yu's body, spiraling around him.

Su Yu held the Dragon God Seal in his left hand, his eyes shining brightly.

One blue-gold, one red-gold—two vertical pupils radiated awe-inspiring majesty.

"It's done!" the Fire Dragon King's phantom exclaimed joyfully.

"Ice and fire bloodlines, united in one body, perfectly fused—worthy of Lord Dragon God!" the Ice Dragon King praised.

These bloodlines, usually at odds, now coexisted in perfect harmony within the Dragon God's body—like yin and yang, complementing each other.

They strengthened each other, becoming even more powerful together.

Not far away, Gu Yuena's lips curled up slightly as she watched Su Yu's transformation, a gentle light shining in her purple eyes.

Whoosh!

As the two bloodlines merged, everything reached its conclusion, and Su Yu's long-stagnant cultivation erupted explosively.

Like a volcanic eruption, it soared rapidly.

Level 91… Level 93… Level 95.

In just the blink of an eye, Su Yu's cultivation skyrocketed from level 90 to level 95, and was still rising at a ferocious pace.

Level 96!

Level 97!

Level 98!

The peak of level 98!

Half a step from the limit!

Just as he was about to break through to Limit Douluo, a powerful spiritual force suddenly suppressed him, forcefully halting his momentum.

Su Yu let out a gentle breath, his tense body gradually relaxing.

"Peak Douluo, huh? I suppose that'll do for now!"

Su Yu wasn't surprised by this explosive increase in cultivation.

After completing his second soul core, he could break through to Titled Douluo at any moment.

Add to that the Sea God Dragon soul ring he'd previously absorbed, the Sea God's twin wings, and today's absorption of the Ice Dragon King's divine core…

Even breaking through to Limit Douluo in a single leap wouldn't have been strange for Su Yu.

He had so much energy stored up that opening the gate to Limit Douluo was almost effortless.

But this realm was crucial.

Su Yu's approach was to take a yin-yang complementary type of soul core, so this third soul core needed to be the best.

First soul core: Blood Qi Golden Core, representing strength.

Second soul core: Spatial Soul Core.

His idea for the third soul core was the Time Soul Core.

Time is supreme, space is king, power is ultimate.

These three soul cores embodied Su Yu's ambition, so he couldn't take them lightly.

But forming a time soul core with complementary yin-yang attributes was not a simple matter.

Physically, Su Yu had long surpassed his goal.

Energy-wise, he lacked for nothing—the divine core itself contained nearly boundless power.

Spiritually, Su Yu was already beyond the Spirit Domain level, stepping into the realm of gods.

Divine Origin Realm!

That was the realm Su Yu reached after absorbing the divine core's energy.

Though only just at the threshold, it was still the realm of gods.

Now, Su Yu lacked only a bit more understanding of time itself.

Once he achieved that, forming the third soul core would be a matter of course.

"Lord Dragon God, our soul bones can lend you a hand!" came the voice of the Ice Dragon King in Su Yu's ear.

Su Yu nodded, "Thank you. I need a pair of arm bones!"

Currently, Su Yu possessed the leg bones of the Space Holy Dragon and Wind Element Holy Dragon, as well as four external soul bones: dragon horn bone, twin claw bones, and the Sea God's twin wings.

After the transformations from the Ice Dragon King's divine power and the dual dragon bloodlines, these four external soul bones had advanced to the divine level together with Su Yu's body.

The Ice Dragon King's divine core was so powerful that even the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claws had been forcibly transformed into dragon claws.

The only weak spot left was the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Regular soul bones couldn't evolve like external ones, and were now holding Su Yu back.

Even though this Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion left arm bone, combined with another scorpion soul bone, was of the highest quality on the continent, for Su Yu, it was still a burden.

Having the Ice Dragon King's soul bone devour it was the best choice.

"Yes, Lord Dragon God!"

Understanding Su Yu's wish, the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings wasted no time. Under their control, a ball of red light and a beam of blue light shot into Su Yu's arms.

Left and right, blue and red radiance shone.

The fusion of soul bones was much simpler than expected. In less than fifteen minutes, the two divine-level soul bones had fused completely.

Feeling the powerful energy flowing within, Su Yu felt as if he could soar to the heavens.

He was already strong before.

But now, he felt terrifyingly powerful!

Just one move could instantly defeat his former self.

Divine Origin Realm spiritual power, a terrifyingly powerful body.

Su Yu felt he could now contend with true gods.

Not a god, and yet beyond a god!

This trip to the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well had brought rewards beyond his wildest imagination.

Chapter 568: Gu Yuena's Intentions, Tempering

"Not bad!"

A clear, ethereal voice echoed in his ear. Su Yu looked up to see Gu Yuena walking gracefully toward him.

"Peak Douluo cultivation, divine-level spiritual power, and a physique almost on par with a Second-Class God—just barely passable," Gu Yuena remarked, sizing Su Yu up with a single glance, seeing right through him.

Now, other than his soul power lagging behind, Su Yu was not much different from a true god.

A physique comparable to a Second-Class God, Divine Origin Realm spiritual power—those alone meant that even against a god-level opponent, Su Yu would have the power to fight.

Su Yu looked at Gu Yuena's flawless face, then suddenly grinned.

"Nana, do you remember our agreement? Heh heh heh!"

Su Yu cackled weirdly, earning a big eye-roll from Gu Yuena.

"Do you really think you can beat me now?" she asked with a half-smile.

Though Su Yu was strong now, he was still far from beating her.

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse—even if she was badly injured and down to a tenth of her strength, dealing with Su Yu would be easy.

"Not now, but maybe in a little while… who knows?" Su Yu's surging power gave him huge confidence.

He was starting to get cocky!

His days as master of the house were not far off!

Gu Yuena didn't reply, just narrowed her eyes and smiled dangerously.

A moment later—

"Ow! Oww, it's going to fall off!" Su Yu yelped as Gu Yuena twisted his ear, making him grimace in pain.

"Still jumping around?" Gu Yuena squinted. This guy always acted up if she didn't discipline him.

Always thinking about conquering her and building a harem—how naive.

She'd always been annoyed by Su Yu's flirtatiousness, but just tolerated it.

But if he kept pushing his luck, she couldn't let him get away with it!

He really didn't know who was boss.

Even if he was the future Dragon God, right now, Su Yu was still just a kid.

"Hmph! How can a real man be content to live under others forever?"

"One day, I'll subdue you!"

Su Yu snorted, signaling to Gu Yuena that she shouldn't underestimate a young man!

"We'll talk when that day comes," Gu Yuena replied, her purple eyes glinting with a smile as she quashed Su Yu's unrealistic fantasies.

"…?"

The Fire and Ice Dragon Kings exchanged glances, confused.

By rights, Gu Yuena treating the Dragon God like this was disrespectful.

Even though Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King, the Dragon God was the supreme one.

Among dragons, hierarchy was everything.

But the situation was complicated. Why did Su Yu seem to enjoy this?

This really looked more like flirting than anything else.

The Silver Dragon King was part of the Dragon God, and now the Dragon God was the reincarnation of the Dragon God's remnant soul.

Now that the two were together, they had to admit—the Dragon God really knew how to have fun!

After some playful squabbling, Su Yu rubbed his reddened ear and grew serious again.

He looked at the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings. "The power of the Dragon God Seal needs to be unsealed step by step."

"I don't need the Fire Dragon King's power for now, so I'll have to seal it for the time being."

"Fire Dragon King, you'll stay in my Sea of Consciousness for now. The Fire Dragon King's divine core will also need your control."

The Fire Dragon King nodded without hesitation, "As you command."

Living in the Dragon God's Sea of Consciousness?

What an honor! The Fire Dragon King was ecstatic.

With their enthusiastic agreement, Su Yu opened his Sea of Consciousness, letting both Dragon Kings enter.

Upon reaching Divine Origin Realm, Su Yu's spiritual sea had already transformed.

If his Sea of Consciousness was once an ocean, now, with Divine Origin Realm spiritual power, it was as vast as a galaxy.

A swirling, starry world, filled with terrifying spiritual energy.

Within it, Electrolux, Skydream Iceworm, Ice Empress, and Ice Bear King had all benefited greatly from Su Yu's progress.

Roar! Roar!

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings appeared in Su Yu's spiritual sea, their bodies as huge as mountains, their dragon eyes awe-inspiring. A single roar shook the stars.

Seeing these two overwhelming dragon spirits, even the soul spirits were trembling.

Especially Skydream Iceworm, who shook in terror at these two new guest.

"Hiss, you heartless woman, are you trying to murder your own husband?" Su Yu hissed, feigning anger.

Now, without an audience, Su Yu and Gu Yuena's interactions were much more natural.

"Hmph, you reap what you sow!" Gu Yuena crossed her arms and turned away, acting tsundere.

Su Yu, grinning, sidled up and pulled her into his arms.

"Nana, you promised… As long as I become a god, the others are allowed too… I'm not far from godhood now."

Su Yu breathed in her scent, whispering softly.

Gu Yuena looked blank. "Did I promise that?"

"Who can prove it?"

"Come on, you're not going to own up? A gentleman's word is worth a thousand gold!"

"Don't care. I'm the Silver Dragon King, not a gentleman!"

Gu Yuena stonewalled him.

"Well, that's no fun."

"Fun or not, that's my attitude. Want me to listen? Become Dragon God first."

Su Yu was speechless, flipping her the bird in protest.

Unsurprisingly, this earned him another round of punishment from Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena insisted: until Su Yu became Dragon God, he shouldn't think about anything else.

She would absolutely not allow it.

"No love, huh!" Su Yu complained, planting a kiss on Gu Yuena's cheek.

No, he had to retaliate!

He kissed her again.

Gu Yuena: "…"

Seeing Su Yu's childish side, Gu Yuena could only smile wryly.

She didn't actually mind Su Yu's closeness—after all, she'd already given herself to him.

But as for other women, she absolutely wouldn't budge at this critical time.

This was a key period; Su Yu's responsibilities were immense, and he couldn't slack off.

Beauty could erode the will and sap one's motivation.

She could see that Su Yu's mentality was starting to drift from his recent skyrocketing power.

She had to set him straight. He hadn't become Dragon God yet—this much strength was still not enough!
