The three hundred-thousand-year spirit bones, considered absolute treasures in the soul master world, were absorbed by Dugu Yan, directly boosting her soul power from level 92 to level 96.
Starting from level 95, each subsequent level becomes exponentially harder to achieve. The fact that these three spirit bones could elevate her to level 96 was a testament to their unparalleled value.
Chen Yuan remarked, "It's time to leave. Both of you have made significant progress. Once we return, take some time to consolidate your gains and better control the sudden surge in soul power."
Dugu Yan nodded in agreement.
"You're right. Absorbing three spirit bones in such a short time has left me feeling overwhelmed. The power boost is staggering, almost unreal."
With that, Chen Yuan took Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling into the air, transforming into a streak of light as they flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye in the Sunset Forest.
The Lake of Life was left in disarray, its once-clear waters rippling with waves.

Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling went off to cultivate and stabilize their newfound power.
Chen Yuan sat by the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, meditating to restore his soul power. Once he had adjusted to his peak condition, he opened his eyes and gazed at the red and blue springs.
"Originally, it was said that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye was formed naturally by the heavens and earth. But later, it was revealed that it was created by the convergence of the divine powers of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings after their deaths. As divine beasts, the spirit bones they produce would be divine-level, surpassing even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's torso bone."
"I'm only two levels away from reaching level 99. If I continue cultivating at my current pace, it will take several years. But if I obtain the spirit bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, I can significantly shorten that time."
With that thought, Chen Yuan stood up and leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. Having consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs, he shared a deep connection with the springs. Only he could dive deep into the waters to search for the spirit bones.
Encased in soul power, Chen Yuan moved like a streamlined fish, swiftly swimming deeper into the springs.
The extreme heat of the Yang Spring and the extreme cold of the Yin Spring posed no threat to him. However, as he descended, the increasing pressure and resistance began to weigh on him.
But with his current strength, the pressure felt like a gentle breeze. It was far from enough to pose a real threat.
Chen Yuan channeled more soul power to shield himself, accelerating his descent.
The springs were incredibly deep. Even for Chen Yuan, it took a considerable amount of time to reach the bottom. There, in his line of sight, lay two massive skeletal dragons, intertwined and half-buried in the sand. Their flesh, muscles, and organs had long since decayed, leaving only their stark white bones.
Chen Yuan was deeply moved.
'These are the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Judging by the size of their skeletons, they must have been over a thousand meters long in life. Even in death, they are awe-inspiring. But where are their spirit bones?'
His gaze swept over the skeletons, from tail to head. Finally, he spotted two glowing orbs—one red and one blue—each about three meters in diameter, resting on the dragons' skulls. They shimmered brilliantly within the springs.
A surge of excitement filled him as he swam closer. However, as he approached, he noticed something unusual.
The extreme heat and cold of the springs, which had previously felt like warmth and coolness to him, now intensified a hundredfold as he neared the orbs. The sheer power emanating from them was overwhelming.
Chen Yuan grew cautious but refused to turn back. Soon, he was within arm's reach of the orbs. His face turned serious as he realized his immunity to ice and fire no longer worked. He was now relying solely on the strength of his divine body to resist the extreme temperatures.
'Let me see the true nature of your power...'
Prepared, Chen Yuan reached out with both hands, touching the red and blue orbs simultaneously. The moment his hands made contact, a surge of red and blue light traveled up his arms and into his body.
The collision of these two extreme forces with his divine body caused the surrounding waters to churn violently. Chen Yuan's divine body radiated a brilliant dark golden light, activating his five spirit bones—the Mirror Head Bone, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King Torso Bone, the Wind and Thunder Wings, the Blood Demon Left Leg Bone, and the Blue Silver Right Leg Bone. The incomplete Asura God Armor manifested once more.
In Chen Yuan's consciousness, two colossal dragons soared through the heavens—one fiery red, the other icy blue. They were majestic and possessed the power to destroy the world.
"Roar!" "Roar!"
The two dragon roars shook the heavens, and Chen Yuan's soul felt as if it had been struck by a massive hammer, on the verge of shattering.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Though their physical bodies had perished and their souls had dissipated, the remnants of their souls still carried their indomitable, domineering, and terrifying will. Unlike the soul shocks of ordinary soul beasts, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were true divine beasts, and their spiritual power had reached the level of divine consciousness.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan's spiritual power was now comparable to that of a Limit Douluo. Otherwise, his soul would have been utterly destroyed.
Enduring the excruciating pain as if his soul were being torn apart, Chen Yuan refused to give in. He quickly devised a plan. To counter the divine-level remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, he would need to take an unconventional approach.
"Evil, Devour!"
Chen Yuan poured his soul power into the Evil God Pearl, unleashing its full evil energy. Using the devouring power of the evil attribute, he began to erode the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' souls.
Though they were mere remnants, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' souls were still formidable. As the evil energy consumed them, their residual power was absorbed and refined by Chen Yuan.
The sensation was like consuming a potent tonic. Chen Yuan's soul began to expand endlessly, driving his spiritual power toward the threshold of divine consciousness. It was a new realm—if he could refine his soul into a divine soul, his spiritual power would transform into divine consciousness.
At the same time, the primordial power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, which housed their residual souls, began to forcefully transform Chen Yuan's body. While the rest of his body was protected by the Asura God Armor, his arms were completely transformed into dragon claws—one fiery red, the other icy blue. Thick scales, powerful muscles, and razor-sharp claws gave them unparalleled strength.
For now, Chen Yuan couldn't focus on his transformed arms. He needed to fully refine the remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' souls before he could assimilate their primordial power...
