Chapter 164 Azure Dragon! A Call from the Bottom of the Lake?
"Kid, this is such a valuable item, be careful with it."
Looking at the pill that was casually tossed over, Dugu Bo almost used his hands and feet, extremely disheveled, as if catching his own son, carefully holding it in his palm.
At the same time, a look of wild joy appeared on his aged face.
"Why are you so nervous? If it breaks, I can just make another one." Seeing this, Tang Chuan pouted and couldn't help but chuckle.
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes in annoyance and snorted, "Refine again? You've used up all the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline I extracted. Where are we going to get materials to refine more?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan's lips curled into a strange smile, and he said:
"Isn't that simple? I don't think you completely drained Yu Xiaogang's bloodline just now. At worst, we can just secretly grab him and drain some more."
"Holy crap! A second chance, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but mimic Tang Chuan's tone and utter a curse.
Then, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and say, "You kid... you're practically a living devil. Yu Xiaogang is incredibly unlucky to have met you in his lifetime."
As the words fell.
Dugu Bo did not hesitate any longer. He sat cross-legged on the spot, put the pill in his hand into his mouth, bit it gently, and swallowed it.
The moment the pill entered his body, it instantly transformed into an intensely hot current, surging and coursing through Dugu Bo's meridians. This energy, like a raging fire, caused his blood to boil, his veins to bulge, and his face to contort in agony from the immense energy he was enduring.
Immediately afterwards, a dense green light burst forth from his body, illuminating the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Within that light, faint, deep dragon roars could be heard.
Behind Dugu Bo, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather continuously.
Immediately, a green phantom gradually solidified into shape. Its initial form was a huge azure serpent covered in scales, with cold eyes and bared fangs.
As the energy of the elixir continued to permeate, the illusory giant serpent underwent a transformation.
On its forehead, a pair of sharp dragon horns slowly grew, and the cold snake scales gradually faded away, turning into emerald green dragon scales, their luster flowing like jade carvings.
Then, the snake's body stretched out, its back bulged, and the outlines of its limbs gradually appeared.
"roar--"
With a deafening dragon roar echoing through the valley, the phantom completely transformed, finally becoming a powerful green dragon, coiled behind Dugu Bo, its might overwhelming.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's aura also rose steadily, and his body was surrounded by rolling green light. However, it was no longer just the breath of a poisonous beast, but carried the majesty of a dragon that dominated the world.
The next second, the sound waves generated by the dragon's roar swept across the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The lake, which had been calm and still, suddenly began to ripple.
Ripples spread outwards in concentric circles, as if in response to the dragon's roar just now.
"What's going on? This feeling..."
Just then, Xiao Ruier frowned slightly. She clearly felt that, in that instant, something at the bottom of the lake seemed to be calling to her.
This feeling had flashed through her mind the first time she came to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
This time, however, it was even more obvious.
With a flash, Xiao Ruier appeared before Tang Chuan. Her clear eyes were fixed on the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. She took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"I have a feeling there's something down there! And it's related to the dragons. Just now, I felt a strange calling within me."
"And this call comes from the bottom of this lake."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan was slightly taken aback, a strange light flashing in his eyes. It seemed that Xiao Ruier's reminder had made him remember something, and he thought to himself:
"I remember in the original story, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes were formed from the remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two of the Nine Dragon Kings. Since Rui'er possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon, it's not impossible for her to sense their lingering aura. I just wonder if these two Dragon Kings left behind any legacy after their deaths? If they had soul bones, then wouldn't I be…"
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes, and he immediately spoke:
"I'll go down and take a look."
Xiao Ruier's expression turned anxious, and she quickly reached out to stop him, her tone tinged with worry as she said:
"No! This lake is extremely strange, with both extreme yin and yang. With your current strength, you probably can't withstand its energy at all."
Tang Chuan waved his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said seriously:
"Don't worry. I previously consumed the rare medicinal herbs here, the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, and tempered my body with ice and fire. This lake water can no longer harm me. Since you sense that there might be something down there, I will go down and investigate."
"But……"
Staring intently at the lake, Xiao Ruier frowned slightly, her heart still uneasy. She spoke again, "If there really is some powerful, immortal being down there, with your current strength..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she heard a thud.
Tang Chuan leaped down, splashing water everywhere, and disappeared into the lake of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The lake surface immediately returned to calm, leaving only ripples spreading outwards.
According to Tang Chuan's speculation, he wanted to be able to move freely within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
You need to be at least level 95 to do it.
In the original story, Tang San was afraid that Dugu Bo would change his mind and kill him, so he secretly took the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot to refine his body, so that he could enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to survive and avoid disaster.
Half a year ago, Tang Chuan also consumed these two immortal herbs and underwent ice and fire body tempering, which is why he is now able to move freely underwater in this lake.
…………
As Tang Chuan submerged into the lake, he felt an immense pressure surging from all directions. However, as he slowly released his soul power, he was able to overcome it.
The pressure that came from above has gradually lessened considerably.
At the bottom of the lake, all was darkness.
With his immense mental power, Tang Chuan was able to barely make out some of his surroundings. After scanning the area, he quickly swam away, plunging into the depths.
As he continued to descend, he felt the lake water all around him pressing down on him like heavy mountains.
The pressure was so heavy it was suffocating. Even though he used all his soul power to resist it, he still felt a tightness in his chest and his body felt like it was about to be torn apart.
"No, if this continues, even with the protection of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, I might be crushed by the water pressure and end up at the bottom of the lake. Maybe we should go back first..."
The thought had just crossed Tang Chuan's mind when he was preparing to turn back and go ashore.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in the corner of his eye, and he saw it coming from the depths of the lake.
Looking closely, in the darkness not far away, two swirling halos of light, one red and one blue, floated silently, clinging to each other yet seemingly opposing one another.
Since the vortex halo was transparent, it did not obstruct Tang Chuan's view. After his gaze swept over the vortex halo, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Because there is nothing else within this vortex of light.
Some were two dragon-shaped phantoms made of pure energy. They were less than ten feet long, with layers of dragon scales, crystal-clear dragon horns, and flowing, agile dragon whiskers.
