Absorbing an Immortal Herb, Soul Power Surges Again!

"Those who stand in my way die!"

Bang!

Lu Bu killed a thousand-year Poison Scorpion Soul Beast in a single halberd strike, leading Aiven effortlessly deeper inside.

Poison Mist Forest and its Poison-Type Soul Beasts could not halt Lu Bu's advance. They charged straight through without restraint.

Immortal Herbs! Here I come!!! Aiven thought excitedly.

A long while later.

Lu Bu successfully led Aiven out of the poisonous perimeter and into the core region of Sunset Forest.

They had reached the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

A cave lay ahead—the entrance leading inside.

"Lu Bu, Dugu Bo has set up numerous poison formations here. Proceed carefully," Aiven reminded him.

"Yes!"

Under Lu Bu's lead, the poison formations were broken one by one.

A few minutes later, they finally stood before the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, gazing at the strange spring at its center, half red and half icy blue.

Aiven finally saw the Immortal Herbs growing beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, each radiating strange colors and light.

There were all kinds of them, incredibly mystical and extraordinary at a glance.

But what surprised him was that there were dozens of mature Immortal Herbs alone!

"Damn!"

Aiven was stunned.

He had never expected there to be so many mature Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Infernal Delicate Apricot!"

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!"

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Lovesick Heartbreak Red!

Narcissus Jade Bone, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!

"Good, good, good! All these Immortal Herbs are mine now! Hahahaha!"

"That little bastard won't get a single one!" Aiven was in high spirits.

Aiven did not like Tang San. He always felt Tang San was hypocritical and held double standards, but he had never intended to deliberately target, suppress, or even kill Tang San and become his enemy.

Aiven had come to this Douluo World. What he wanted now was to unite the continent—unless Tang San insisted on seeking death in the future by blocking his path and opposing him.

Then Aiven would not hesitate to kill Tang San.

But what Aiven was doing now was, in fact, invisibly affecting Tang San's fortune and growth.

Simply stripping away this batch of Immortal Herbs and leaving Tang San without those resources would be enough to affect the course of Tang San's entire future life and change his life's trajectory.

The butterfly effect was terrifying.

The loss of even one Immortal Herb resource might cause Tang San to tread on thin ice for the rest of his life, perhaps even prevent him from becoming a god, or even get him killed by Spirit Hall.

Aiven gathered his thoughts and found a top-grade Light Attribute Immortal Herb among the mature herbs.

This Immortal Herb was called the Radiant Gold Leaf Flower.

"Come on."

Without hesitation, he immediately consumed the Immortal Herb, then swiftly sat cross-legged and began absorbing its medicinal properties.

In an instant, Aiven felt incomparably refreshed, as though his Eight Extraordinary Meridians had been opened. His entire body felt incredibly light, and the sensation was wonderful!

Wonderfully so!

He could clearly feel that the flow of Soul Power within his body had become far smoother than before. This meant that when he meditated to cultivate Soul Power, his speed would also increase greatly.

His talent and speed in Soul Power cultivation had improved!

Next, Aiven felt the Soul Power within his body begin to surge madly!!

Before, cultivation had been like squeezing toothpaste—each session added only a little.

But now, it felt like a roller coaster, surging and skyrocketing wildly. It was incredibly thrilling!!

Bang!

Very soon, a wave of Soul Power spread from Aiven's body as his Soul Power broke through from level 14 to level 15 in one go!

"I broke through!"

And this was only the beginning!

Next!

Level 16!

Level 17!

Level 18!

It didn't stop. Aiven's Soul Power continued to surge wildly!

"Awesome!"

"I'll break into the Soul Grandmaster realm in one go!!"

Level 19!

Level 20!

"Level 20! I broke through to Level 20!!" Aiven suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to remain calm as he continued absorbing it.

In the end, once his Soul Power reached the peak of Level 20, it could no longer advance any further.

He had also nearly finished absorbing the immortal herb. The remaining medicinal effects would slowly be digested within his body.

Aiven slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his strength had undergone an extremely obvious transformation and increase.

The explosive growth in power left his body somewhat unaccustomed to it for the moment.

"Not bad. I jumped directly from Level 14 to Level 20, gaining six levels of Soul Power."

"No, it should be equivalent to seven levels." Aiven clenched his fist, brimming with excitement, and smiled. "Not bad. If not for the Level 20 bottleneck, I might have gained another level or two. But this is enough."

"By absorbing the immortal herb early, my cultivation speed will be faster from now on as well."

Aiven got up and stretched a little, unable to stop himself from sighing inwardly.

It had been less than a month since his Spirit Soul Awakening.

Yet his Soul Power had skyrocketed by ten levels within a single month!

Even he could not help but describe it in four words: terrifying beyond belief!

"Now it's your turn."

After absorbing the immortal herb that strengthened his foundation, replenished his vitality, and improved his Soul Power aptitude, Aiven prepared to absorb more immortal herbs that would enhance his physical body and constitution.

His gaze settled on the two plants growing to either side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

These two top-tier fire- and ice-attributed immortal herbs possessed countless wondrous effects. After absorbing them, one could become immune to ice and fire, invulnerable to all poisons, and most importantly, they could improve a soul master's constitution and physical strength.

With the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring as his second Soul Ring would be no problem at all.

But let alone absorbing these two immortal herbs, an ordinary soul master would die simply from approaching them. The only place where they could be absorbed was here, within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Aiven leaped onto the stone ledge above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and shouted, "Lu Bu, use your Soul Power to pluck those two immortal herbs and make their energies clash!"

"Yes!"

Lu Bu immediately did as ordered. He released Soul Power from both sides at once, severing the herbs at their roots and drawing them over, making the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot collide.

Seeing this, Aiven immediately swallowed them and began absorbing them. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"My Lord, you must not! This spring is exceedingly dangerous!" Lu Bu cried out in alarm.

"It's fine. Wait for me outside."

Splash!

Aiven's body plunged into the spring.

Using the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he began frantically digesting and absorbing the two top-tier ice- and fire-attributed immortal herbs.

Time passed second by second.

A long while later.

Aiven completely absorbed both immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, forging an ice-and-fire dual body that was immune to both ice and fire and invulnerable to all poisons.

He could clearly feel that his physical strength had improved greatly compared to before.

Aiven immediately sensed the Emperor Sword Spirit. Just as expected, the absorption limit for his second Soul Ring had now reached 1,800 years.

"My second Soul Ring can already reach 1,800 years. That exceeds even the third Soul Rings of most Soul Elders." Aiven nodded in great satisfaction.

He then ordered, "Lu Bu, pack up all the mature immortal herbs. It's time for us to leave."

"Yes, my Lord."

Now that they had done everything they came to do, there was no need to linger. The two of them directly swept up dozens of mature immortal herbs and left in style.
