Who the Hell Did This?!

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye was one of the three great treasure basins for medicinal herbs.

Within the environments of the three great treasure basins, ordinary plants simply could not grow, as they could not adapt to the special climate. Yet these three great treasure basins were the birthplace of all rare plants.

Moreover, they could shorten the growth time of these wondrous plants by a factor of ten.

Simply put, if a lingzhi mushroom grew for ten years in any one of the three great treasure basins, it would have the effects of a hundred-year lingzhi mushroom.

The three great treasure basins possessed uniquely favorable conditions. They gathered the finest spiritual essence of the world and were where heaven and earth's spiritual energy converged.

As far as the eye could see, all kinds of plants blanketed the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. They came in countless shapes and forms, making the place seem like a paradise for plants, vibrant and full of life!

The plants here likewise fell within the category of soul beasts. With all the knowledge contained in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia, Lin Tianyi knew every plant here like the back of his hand, thoroughly familiar with their medicinal effects and properties.

Lin Tianyi's face was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

"They're mine! They're all mine!!"

After looking around, his gaze finally settled on two immortal herbs growing on either side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

One was an immortal herb with a large white octagonal flower. Its center glittered with specks of stamen like ice crystals, giving off no fragrance whatsoever. This was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, an extraordinarily cold flower that could chill one's heart and freeze the central nervous system.

The other resembled a cabbage, yet its entire body was blazing red. It was called the Infernal Delicate Apricot, a top-tier immortal herb on the same level as the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Knowing the medicinal effects of these two immortal herbs, Lin Tianyi's eyes gleamed. Taken separately, they were deadly poisons.

But if consumed together and paired with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, they could grant a physique immune to ice and fire, impervious to all poisons!

Lin Tianyi used Teleportation to pluck them, then swallowed them in huge mouthfuls. They melted as soon as they entered his mouth and tasted quite good.

Immediately afterward, he quickly stripped off all his clothes, had Guardian Puppet No. 2 stand guard, and then, once the medicinal effects kicked in, plunged headfirst into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye with a splash.

His entire body submerged in the spring water, he endured the washing of extreme ice and fire. The terrifying medicinal effects of extreme cold and extreme heat began surging through his body, their dreadful energy battering him.

Under the impact of those two terrifying medicinal effects, Lin Tianyi's hair, skin, muscles, and bones continuously grew stronger.

At the same time, his fire resistance and cold resistance soared at an incredible rate, while his poison resistance also surged without end.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set and rose, and a day passed.

Bang!

The tranquil surface of the water exploded, and a pale figure flew out, landing steadily on the shore.

Using Soul Power to shake the water droplets from his body, Lin Tianyi got dressed, his face full of delight.

Having consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, he was now immune to water and fire, impervious to all poisons.

Even without any protection, he could now walk out of the poisonous miasma Dugu Bo had set up without suffering the slightest injury.

Turning to look at Guardian Puppet No. 2, which stood silently in place, Lin Tianyi saw no traces of battle on the ground. It seemed Dugu Bo had yet to discover that an uninvited guest had entered his medicinal garden.

But even if he came, with No. 2 possessing strength comparable to a Level 96 Title Douluo, there was nothing he could do but watch helplessly as his medicinal garden was ravaged.

Lin Tianyi felt no guilt over this.

Because treasures of heaven and earth belonged to those worthy of them!

This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye was not Dugu Bo's exclusive possession. He had merely been the first to discover it and claim it for himself.

If Dugu Bo could occupy it, then so could he!

Next, Lin Tianyi began packing away all the mature immortal herbs, storing them in the Soul Tool Qian Renxue had given him, which could hold living things.

By the time he had packed everything up, Dugu Bo still had not appeared.

Lin Tianyi was not about to wait specifically for him. Glancing at the mess all around him, he gave a chuckle, summoned his Extreme Wind Wings, and soared into the sky. He flew out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was time to obtain his third soul ring!

It was not until the day after Lin Tianyi left that Dugu Bo arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

The moment he landed and saw his medicinal garden in complete ruin, Dugu Bo froze in a daze, standing stiffly in place as if petrified.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was still a complete mess.

He closed his eyes in disbelief, then opened them again.

It was still a complete mess. Not a single mature medicinal herb remained.

After a long silence, a heart-rending roar echoed through heaven and earth.

"Who the hell did this!!!"

Star Dou Great Forest, core region.

"Roar!!!!"

A miserable tiger's roar rang through the core region.

Accompanied by a dull thud, a gigantic tiger, four meters long and nearly two meters tall, black as ink from head to toe, collapsed to the ground. The fierce light in its beastly eyes gradually faded away.

Pfft!

The crimson, translucent Dragon's Roar Sword was pulled from the Dark Demon Sword Tiger's skull, bringing out a spray of warm, foul-smelling blood.

Immediately afterward, a jet-black soul ring rapidly gathered and solidified above the Dark Demon Sword Tiger's corpse.

Lin Tianyi stared at the dead Dark Demon Sword Tiger. Based on the detailed knowledge in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia, he could accurately determine that this soul beast was around fifteen thousand years old.

If not for his body being tempered by ice and fire, absorbing it would have been far more troublesome.

As a top-tier soul beast, the Dark Demon Sword Tiger possessed terrifying strength and speed. Its skill had the sharpness and speed required by a sword-type martial soul.

It suited his Dragon's Roar Sword perfectly.

Without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged, circulated his Soul Power, and began absorbing this jet-black soul ring that was as old as fifteen thousand years.

The soul ring drifted above his head, then abruptly shrank and fell, accurately wrapping around the palm-sized Dragon's Roar Sword.

A terrifyingly hot current, like molten lava, surged through his right arm before flooding toward every part of his body like a tide, battering every inch of him.

Yet with his formidable physical constitution, Lin Tianyi remained unmoving.

Let him be strong; a gentle breeze brushes the mountain ridge.

As time passed, the terrifying energy gradually merged into Lin Tianyi's body, while his Soul Power began to skyrocket!

Level 31!

Level 32!

Level 33!

Level 36!

Once the final trace of energy had been absorbed, Lin Tianyi's Soul Power Level settled at Level 36.

When he opened his eyes, they shone like morning stars, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

Aside from his soaring Soul Power Level, he had also gained an exceptionally powerful offensive skill—Dark Demon Sword Break!

Dark Demon Sword Break: A single-target instant attack skill. Soul Power is concentrated at one point, ignoring distance to instantly pierce the enemy. From the moment the target is locked on, the enemy cannot evade and can only withstand it head-on. It possesses extreme sharpness and piercing power.

Rising to his feet, Lin Tianyi summoned the Dragon's Roar Sword. He was curious to see just how powerful it was.

The jet-black soul ring appeared around him, its light flaring brightly.

A dark crimson glow emerged at the tip of the Dragon's Roar Sword, gathering into a fist-sized sphere of dark crimson energy as it targeted a five-meter-long slab of hard bluestone ahead.

With a thought, the dark crimson energy sphere silently fired a thumb-thick dark crimson laser.

In the blink of an eye, the dark crimson laser vanished as though it had pierced through space.

When the dark crimson laser appeared again, it had already arrived before the enormous bluestone. Then, like a bullet, it shot into the hard rock.

Its terrifying sharpness and penetrating force pierced straight through the five-meter-long bluestone, flew onward behind it, penetrated an unknown number of massive trees, and only then dissipated.

Lin Tianyi stared at the scene in stunned silence.

He instantly moved before the bluestone, bringing his right eye close to the thumb-sized, smooth and round hole in it. Through the hole, he could clearly see the light and scenery on the other side of the bluestone.
