Chapter 352 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [352]
After returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Chen Ming could sense that a certain connection had formed between himself and this world. The elements of ice and fire in the air seemed to resonate faintly with him, flowing into his body even without active absorption. After repeatedly confirming that his aura would not be exposed, Chen Ming summoned the Ascending Dragon Sword, merging his external avatar with his true form into the divine body state. He then found a place to hide his treasure-filled Treasure Pouch before diving into the pool and swimming toward its depths in one breath.
As he ventured deeper, Chen Ming could feel his second martial soul, the Ascending Dragon Sword, becoming increasingly active. The dormant dragon energy within the pool began to awaken in resonance and was swiftly absorbed by the Ascending Dragon Sword, subtly enhancing its power.
Before long, Chen Ming reached the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the same location he had explored previously.
At the bottom of the pool, the residual power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had formed a small world. This world, located beneath the spring, had become unstable over time. The power dissipating from this small world gave rise to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but most of the energy still lay dormant within the small world at the bottom.
Unlike the rejection he experienced last time, Chen Ming now felt a calling from the power within the barrier as he approached it. Gently moving closer, the barrier—capable of withstanding attacks at the divine level—softly accepted him, allowing him to merge within. Accompanied by a fluctuation of space, Chen Ming entered a semi-independent space, similar to the Douluo Hall dimension attached to the Douluo World.
The sky was pitch black, devoid of any celestial bodies, light, or brilliance.
This world was vast, larger than the Sunset Forest, yet completely lifeless—utterly silent, void, and on the brink of collapse.
Two massive dragon corpses lay intertwined on the ground. The two dragons leaned against each other, their vital points, such as their chests, bearing enormous cracks. Large amounts of dragon blood and elemental power flowed from their wounds, covering every corner of this world and sustaining it in its near-collapse state.
Although the world was devoid of light, this posed no obstacle to Chen Ming in his current state. Standing on land soaked in dragon blood for countless ages, he quietly gazed at the two enormous dragon corpses.
Contrary to his expectations of dragon bones, the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were surprisingly intact. Though devoid of any vitality, they appeared as if they had just died. Even after countless years of energy depletion, their residual power still supported this world nurtured the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and surpassed Chen Ming's power by hundreds of times.
More astonishingly, the bodies of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were unimaginably colossal. The Fire Dragon King's body alone exceeded 1,200 meters in length, with about 400 meters being its tail and 200 meters its long neck.

The Fire Dragon King exhibited the typical traits of a Western dragon, with four pairs of wings. Its entire body was pure crimson without any trace of impurity, and its scales bore natural patterns. Its abdomen, chest, and head all showed evidence of violent attacks. Large portions of its scales were missing, and there were over ten potentially fatal wounds.
The sheer size of the Fire Dragon King's head surpassed most existing dragons and sub-dragons on the Douluo Continent. Only dragons like Di Tian or Zi Ji, with their pure and powerful bloodlines and exceptional cultivation, could match or exceed the Fire Dragon King's head in size.
Unlike the Fire Dragon King, the Ice Dragon King—or Water Dragon King—had the appearance of a pure Eastern dragon. Its body was slender and elegant, exuding a harmonious beauty. On closer inspection, its claws revealed the presence of five toes, exemplifying the purest form of an Eastern dragon.
Its body was entirely blue, highlighting its dual attributes of water and ice. However, its chest bore a massive wound that nearly severed its body in half, with blood pouring out in torrents. Its left front claw was reduced to a short stump, seemingly destroyed or shattered in a powerful attack.
Though the Ice Dragon King had only one major wound, it was undoubtedly far more brutal and fatal than those on the Fire Dragon King.
The Ice Dragon King's body, while slightly smaller than the Fire Dragon King's, was longer and more slender. Even its tail and the fine scales on its abdomen were large enough to contain an entire Chen Ming.
Staring at the two fallen Dragon Kings and sensing their power, which far surpassed his own, Chen Ming struggled to comprehend what calamity had caused their deaths.
A first-level god? No, that wouldn't be enough—not even with super-divine weapons. Based on the residual power within their bodies, the two Dragon Kings had likely been at least close to god-king level during their lifetimes. Even in defeat, the physical resilience of dragons would never allow for such devastation.
Especially the attack that nearly severed the Ice Dragon King's body—Chen Ming could only imagine something like the Three Sword of Judgment Across the Three Realms, wielded by the five god-kings in unison, causing such a shocking wound. But the problem was that the five god-kings would never unleash such a destructive skill on a first-level god. A god-king, perhaps—but even that seemed insufficient. The wound bore no trace of destructive, judgment, or evil power. Instead, it resembled a purer force—something Chen Ming had encountered before.
"Creation Force? The Supreme God-King?" Chen Ming recalled Douluo Dalu 4's lore about the Dragon God, falling into silence.
Chen Ming spread his wings and flew to the heads of the two Dragon Kings. Closing his eyes, he tried to sense the Dragon Souls and Dragon Cores within them. After an hour of careful probing, Chen Ming found no trace of the Dragon Souls.
There was plenty of spiritual energy and mental power—an immense amount—but the core essential to their being had been destroyed. The Dragon Cores, which could have concealed their souls, were also utterly obliterated.
This meant that even if the scattered spiritual and mental powers were someday reassembled, they would never give rise to the original Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Instead, they would create beings bearing some of their power, traits, and divinity, but not their identities.
If not for the destruction of their cores and the fragmentation of their spiritual and mental energies, Chen Ming suspected the two Dragon Kings could use their remains to reconstruct new bodies and forcefully live again.
Though rebirth through blood was impossible, their remains, saturated with unimaginable power, could undoubtedly serve as the foundation for a new existence.
Chen Ming sat cross-legged before the heads of the two intertwined Dragon Kings, closing his eyes. Placing one hand on the Fire Dragon King's head and the other on the Ice Dragon King's, he activated his innate talent and spiritual authority, attempting to peer into the past.
After countless attempts, Chen Ming finally succeeded. Using the remnants of the two Dragon Kings' power, he glimpsed a fragment of the ancient era.
A defiance of the heavens provoked the wrath of the universe, halting the expansion of the Divine Realm. A seven-colored dragon roared in fury, shattering the vast Divine Realm inch by inch. Nine Dragon Kings and countless gods attempted to stop the Dragon God but were met with violent retaliation.
Chen Ming saw only a few fleeting scenes, yet the power and entities within them shattered his current worldview.
Countless gods wielded divine tools to fend off the Dragon God, only to be annihilated along with their weapons and divine positions.
The annihilation of gods and dragons alike ensued. The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were pierced by the Dragon God's claws. In their final moments, they tried to awaken the Dragon God using their essence but were mercilessly obliterated by its breath. Dragging the Fire Dragon King's broken body, the Ice Dragon King returned to their created world, where they both ultimately fell.
Just before the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell and the vision ended, Chen Ming met their gaze for the first time. It seemed they had sensed someone observing them from countless years later. At the last moment, the Fire Dragon King opened its mouth to leave a final message.
An invisible force attempted to obscure and distort everything. Even as Chen Ming pushed his abilities to their limits, he could only vaguely hear fragments of their words.
"Love God... Phoenix... Dragon Realm... Divine Star... Creation and Destruction Unified."
"Don't trust the Dragon God. He is the greatest liar."
With those sorrowful words, the Dragon Souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings shattered completely.
