An ice-blue diamond-shaped crystal appeared within the space formed when the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass fused into the Withered Wood Bow.
Unlike the newly arrived Flame Emperor, this ice-blue diamond-shaped crystal was the original resident.
"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass?! Why are you here?" Ye Tianxing stared in shock. He clearly remembered eating it—how had it appeared inside his bow? And it was even within the ice-attribute space, one of the Withered Wood Bow's two inherent spaces.
The instant the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass appeared, the surrounding forest was immediately shrouded in a chill. Ye Tianxing shivered. The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass radiated the purest coldness; it was the very embodiment of Extreme Ice. Yet it had appeared inside his Withered Wood Bow, leaving him utterly puzzled.
"Ye Tianxing, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass you consumed was merely my former body. When you and that girl lay within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well undergoing transformation, I had already noticed you."
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass flew out of the ice-attribute space and arrived before Ye Tianxing. The Flame Emperor emerged right after it, and its plan to melt the ice-attribute space naturally came to nothing.
"This bow underwent the transformation of my body and the body of blazing fire, yet it gave birth to two spaces of ice and fire attributes. By achieving both Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire, it has gained the qualifications to advance into a divine artifact."
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass said coldly, "I don't want to remain in the Cold Spring forever. I want to see the world outside. Besides, I can sense that you will inevitably become a god in the future. So I decided to take a gamble and fuse myself into my remaining body, becoming one with your Withered Wood Bow.
