Chapter 497 The Dragon King's Nine Trials

An aged and majestic voice echoed from the bottom of the spring. Lin You's consciousness swayed in the chaotic torrent of energy, yet he could still clearly feel the profound meaning contained in the words of the two dragon kings.

"and many more."

Lin You endured the excruciating pain from the divine power washing over him and spoke with difficulty, "What you speak of is the true inheritance, but I am merely a human. How can I bear the throne of the Dragon King?"

The Fire Dragon King lowered its massive, crimson head slightly, a complex emotion flashing in its ancient eyes: "Boy, what do you think a divine position is? Is it bloodline? Is it race?"

"neither."

The Ice Dragon King's cold voice continued, "A divine position is the control and understanding of the rules of heaven and earth. We are also gods. The position of Dragon King is a first-level divine position. If the Dragon God is still in his prime, then we can even stabilize our normal strength at the level of God King."

Lin You's eyes widened, and even under the impact of divine power, he couldn't help but gasp.

The nine Dragon Kings are all God-King level powerhouses!
So even the Dragon King is this awesome?

Wouldn't inheriting one mean easily crushing Prison Three?
"Although we have perished, our divine status has been shattered, and our divine souls have been destroyed, our divine positions are still preserved."

The Fire Dragon King's voice carried a hint of pride, "We are not bound by so many rules and regulations as humans. Since you have the courage to oppose the divine realm, then you are qualified to inherit the Dragon King's divine position!"

The Ice Dragon King nodded slightly: "We will bestow upon you the divine test inheritance, consisting of nine trials. Each time you complete a trial, you will unlock a portion of the rewards. The final divine test will be the Dragon King positions of the two of us."

"Why?" Lin You couldn't help but ask, "Why would you be willing to pass on such a precious divine position to a human like me?"

"Hahaha!" The Fire Dragon King let out a deafening laugh. "Boy, your disrespectful words to the divine realm just now say it all! Only those who dare to say they want to be enemies of the whole world are qualified to inherit our legacy!"

The Ice Dragon King's voice softened slightly: "We have witnessed the glory of the dragon race and the betrayal of the divine realm. Now that we have a descendant who dares to rebel against the gods, how could we begrudge this power?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two completely different divine powers suddenly converged within Lin You's body. It was no longer the violent collision of before, but rather a solemnity reminiscent of a sacred ritual.

"Accept our mark!"

The blazing flames and the extreme cold converged at Lin You's brow, and a light-colored pattern of interwoven ice and fire slowly emerged, as delicate and mysterious as a crescent moon. As soon as the pattern took shape, Lin You felt an unprecedented sense of majesty rise from within him.

The jade stones at the bottom of the spring beneath our feet began to glow faintly, and invisible ripples spread outwards—the power of the Dragon King's domain!
"This is the Seal of Inheritance. With this seal, you can command dragons whose status is not higher than yours," the Fire Dragon King said in a deep voice.

"At the same time, we will also impart information about our divine artifacts to you." The Ice Dragon King's voice carried a hint of anticipation. "The Fire Dragon King's divine artifact—the Flaming Dragon Halberd—can burn mountains and boil seas, and shatter the void. My divine artifact—the Ice Phoenix Blood-Weeping Crown—can freeze time and control life and death."

Lin You felt two clear images appear in his mind.

A long halberd, its entire body as red as blood, with lifelike fire dragon patterns carved on its blade, and its tip gleaming with flames powerful enough to incinerate everything.

A crystal-clear, ice-blue crown, with a teardrop-shaped blue gemstone set at the top, exudes a chilling aura that freezes everything.

"Besides divine positions and divine artifacts, we also have a secret to tell you." The Fire Dragon King's voice became deep, "Humans and soul beasts are races that arose from the life essence of the Dragon God falling onto Douluo Planet after his fall, and which multiplied and evolved over a long period of time."

The Ice Dragon King continued, "Therefore, you also possess the form of a dragon, only your bloodline is thin, unlike that of a true dragon. Now, we will complete a comprehensive sublimation of your life level."

Lin You suddenly realized and couldn't help but laugh, "So that's how it is. No wonder people always say I'm a descendant of the dragon." "Ready, kid?"

The Fire Dragon King's voice carried a hint of gentleness, "The process ahead will be very painful. You will fall into a deep slumber, and during this time, we will reshape your dragon body and elevate your life essence."

Lin You took a deep breath, his eyes hardening: "Come on, I'm ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantoms of the two dragon kings began to slowly melt, transforming into a torrent of pure divine power that enveloped Lin You's body.

The intense heat and the bitter cold intertwined once more, but this time, Lin You felt no pain. Instead, he experienced a warm sensation, as if returning to the womb. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Sleep well, Little Dragon King."

The Ice Dragon King's gentle voice rang in his ears, "When you awaken again, you will be a true dragon."

Lin You slowly closed his eyes, sinking into the deepest sleep.

In the spring water, countless fine threads of light began to weave around his body. These were the last vestiges of the remnants of the two dragon kings' souls, rebuilding the foundation of his life.

Above the spring, Xue Di gazed at the increasingly calm water, her icy blue eyes filled with complex emotions.

Time slowly passed by the eye of the Yin and Yang, one day, two days, three days.

The spring water had returned to its usual calm, the red and white colors clearly distinct, as if the earth-shattering events of just moments before were nothing but a dream. But the Snow Emperor knew that beneath that tranquil surface, a transformation was taking place that would rewrite history.

"Lord Snow Emperor, is that human really not dead?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin asked timidly, her voice still trembling with the shock of surviving a calamity.

"Shut up." Xue Di glanced at her coldly. "If you dare to say another word, I'll turn you into flower tea."

The immortals immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another sound.

Xue Di's senses had already spread out, constantly monitoring the situation at the bottom of the spring. She could clearly feel that Lin You's life force, though weak, was exceptionally stable and was continuously strengthening in an incredible way.

What shocked her even more was that the aura belonging to Long Wei was visibly merging with Lin You's aura. No, it wasn't merging, but a more fundamental transformation.

"The awakening of the dragon bloodline?" Snow Empress murmured to herself, a complex emotion flashing in her icy blue eyes.

As the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, she didn't know much about the dragon race. Legend has it that humans do possess a dragon bloodline that is so thin it's almost negligible, but awakening this bloodline is virtually impossible.

But now, this impossible thing is actually happening right before her eyes.

On the sixth day, the changes suddenly intensified.

The entire Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire began to tremble violently, and the red and white spring water swirled wildly, forming a huge vortex. At the center of the vortex, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.

"This is!" Xue Di suddenly stood up, her icy blue eyes filled with shock.
