The phantoms of the giant dragons of former days flashed past before Chen Ming's eyes like viewing a turning lantern, but a certain power of the past nonetheless remained inside Chen Ming's body.
Nearly every inch of land on the Douluo Continent had been transformed from the flesh and blood of the Mountain Dragon King of the dragon race. Mineral veins were the Mountain Dragon King's scales and bones.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed a treasure land transformed from the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. But since it had fallen into a place near the earth's core of the Douluo Continent, its power was inevitably influenced by the power of the Mountain Dragon King.
The powers of ice and fire influenced the ley lines and transformed the land, while also being transformed and neutralized by the ley lines and the power left behind by the former Mountain Dragon King. It was also because of the Mountain Dragon King's power of bearing and balance that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could exist in such a special form.
A golden short staff flew out from among the items Chen Ming had left behind and suddenly plunged straight into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Under the corrosion of the pool water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which possessed extreme destructive power, the short staff was gradually eroded and worn away, eventually turning into a thread carrying a faint golden color.
The thread fell into Chen Ming's hand, pierced into his meridians, and combined with Chen Ming's bloodline origin and Martial Soul origin before beginning to transform.
Just as Chen Ming had once imagined, a brand-new Dragon Spear, with this golden thread as its core, rapidly grew forth by absorbing Chen Ming's flesh and blood, his origin, and the power within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Chen Ming's Martial Soul resonated with this Dragon Spear. Chen Ming could feel the Dragon Spear fusing together with him as though it were one of his own limbs.
Only, compared to those weapons that were born alongside someone, this sensation was even more profound. Moreover, it was just like Chen Ming's own Martial Soul, intimately connected to his very self.
The reason the Skydream Iceworm had been able to attach a second Martial Soul to Huo Yuhao was that a million-year Spirit Beast already contained a trace of the power of creation. In terms of quality, this was already a form of god-level power.
The problem was that even for a million-year Spirit Beast, there was only a single trace of the power of creation. Yet within the pool water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, this kind of power could be found almost everywhere.
Even though the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had fallen, the power remaining within their bodies was not something ordinary existences below the god level could compare to. Even if their powers only combined unconsciously, the product derived from them was still something a million-year Spirit Beast could not imagine.
The power of creation here was by no means infinite, but it was enough for Chen Ming to reforge himself while also transforming the Dragon Spear into Chen Ming's Martial Soul.
Two streams of energy, one red and one blue, surged out from the depths of the pool water and entered the Dragon Spear.
Although Chen Ming's Dragon Spear was completely incapable of bearing this power, it recorded a small portion of the imprint of these two energies within itself, and changed as a result.
That was the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings—or, more accurately, the power of a tiny fragment among the countless shattered pieces of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' dragon souls.
With the strength the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had possessed when they were alive, if their dragon souls could still maintain a rough degree of completeness, or even retain the slightest trace of clarity, then with their strength and realm, they would have been fully capable of slowly restoring their own souls like Electrolux, and then undergoing rebirth.
And unlike Electrolux, their dragon souls were situated atop their own dragon corpses. Recovering by absorbing their own original power in such a way was far less difficult than starting over from nothing.
The reason the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had never revived over countless years was that their soul origins had already been shattered. The most essential fragments of their existence had been utterly destroyed, leaving them beyond any possibility of regeneration or repair. What remained of their power, no matter how vast, lacked a core to anchor it. As a result, it could only slowly disperse over time, fading bit by bit into nothingness.
A trace of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' power had been imprinted onto Chen Ming's Dragon Spear, subtly transforming its appearance. The spear shaft now gleamed with a brilliant golden radiance, while two fine lines—one red and one blue—coiled elegantly around its length. At its tip was a dragon-devouring spearhead, where the sharp point extended from the open maw of a golden dragon, as if the weapon itself had been forged to consume divinity.
After who knew how much time had passed, Chen Ming gradually felt as though he had completely adapted to the power of the surrounding pool water. His origin also gradually returned to calm, and his entire transformation came to a complete end.
With only a single thought stirring within him, the surrounding pool water followed Chen Ming's will, lifting his body upward and bringing him above the spring.
Seeing Chen Ming, whose eyes were now one red and one blue, standing stark naked in midair under the support of the spring water while still holding a long spear in his hand, Dugu Bo's thoughts came to a slight halt. His brain was completely unable to understand why Chen Ming would emerge in such a strange posture. Moreover, if he had not sensed wrongly, that long spear in Chen Ming's hand always seemed to carry an aura similar to a Martial Soul.
Was this beast soul toolization?
Because he had seen Chen Ming research beast soul toolization, and had also heard Chen Ming explain the principles behind it, Dugu Bo felt that this did not seem to be some method like beast soul toolization. It felt more like a truly independent Martial Soul.
But… an acquired twin Martial Soul? Such a thing did not exist even in legends.
Dugu Bo's thoughts fell into chaos. He merely stared blankly as Chen Ming emerged from the pool water and arrived before him.
The original Chen Ming had only been between one meter sixty and one meter seventy tall. Now, after emerging from the pool water, his entire body had grown to roughly one meter eighty-five, looking almost the same height as Dugu Bo.
Moreover, because his entire body had undergone reforging within the pool water, the density of his body had instead increased by a great deal. Compared to before, his weight had almost fully doubled, and in the truest sense, he had reached a density close to that of steel.
Even without using Spirit Power, relying solely on his body, Spirit Masters below the Spirit Emperor level might not necessarily be able to break through Chen Ming's physical defense. Once he summoned his Martial Soul and used Spirit Power, even Spirit Saint-level spirit masters would only be able to break through Chen Ming's physical defense by using their Martial Soul True Body.
"I feel that my condition has never been better."
Chen Ming flicked the long spear in his hand, and a long, resonant dragon roar rang out directly. As Chen Ming injected Spirit Power into it, an illusory image of three colors—red, blue, and gold—manifested above the Dragon Spear.
After Chen Ming waved the Dragon Spear for a while, his expression also brightened slightly with joy. Then a dragon roar came from his mouth as well, and his entire body entered the state of Martial Soul possession.
Four spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black—appeared beside Chen Ming. While using the Dragon Spear Martial Soul, he summoned the Martial Soul he now no longer knew whether to call a Sacred Dragon Martial Soul.
This was the true simultaneous use of two Martial Souls. Not only was there not the slightest conflict between the two Martial Souls, they instead augmented one another.
