God's Gaze

At this moment, Porcupinefish Douluo spoke again. "Eldest Young Master, may I swallow all the poisonous miasma Dugu Bo left outside as well?"

"Do as you please." Qian Renhan continued selecting Immortal Herbs. With the lingering dragon's might here, as well as the dragon corpses, no soul beast dared approach.

Porcupinefish Douluo's face was full of excitement. The three members of Dugu Bo's family all carried Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison in their bodies, and he had also obtained a ten-thousand-year Medusa Skull. If he swallowed the toxins permeating the valley outside as well, he should be able to break through to Rank 92. As the saying went, each rank of a Title Douluo was a step upward, and every increase brought enormous progress.

Porcupinefish Douluo transformed into a massive pufferfish beneath his feet once more. He flew into the air, opened his cavernous maw, and swallowed all the poisonous gas in the entire valley with the force of a whale devouring water.

After ten minutes, Qian Renhan had made his way around the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and finally found the Immortal Herbs best suited to him: the Netherworld's Other Shore Flower and Mysterious Ice Nether Grass. One possessed darkness and death attributes, while the other possessed a yin-cold attribute. As for an evil attribute, there surprisingly was none here at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Porcupinefish Douluo stood beside Qian Renhan, staring at the two Immortal Herbs in his hand with a somewhat wary expression. He did not understand why two mere plants could make him feel so apprehensive.

"Eldest Young Master, I sense danger from these two plants. You would be better off destroying them."

"Read more books. Once you learn about this, you'll understand just how foolish those words are. These herbs are the most precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the continent."

Then, following the method of consumption recorded in the books, Qian Renhan swallowed both Immortal Herbs and sat down cross-legged.

As the Eight-Winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul was released, boundless darkness and yin-cold energy erupted from the two Immortal Herbs within Qian Renhan's body. The wings behind the Eight-Winged Fallen Angel spread wide, and its aura continuously strengthened, as though it were immensely delighted. The yin-cold aura emitted by the Mysterious Ice Nether Grass even froze Qian Renhan's black robes into solid ice, just as he had frozen Dugu Bo's poisonous miasma into tiny ice crystals when he first entered this place.

Porcupinefish Douluo stood guard nearby. His expression went from terror to calm, then to curiosity. Though he did not know what exactly these two plants were, he could feel that Qian Renhan was growing stronger.

Half a day later, Qian Renhan slowly opened his eyes. The ice on his clothes had already turned into pure energy and been absorbed by the Fallen Angel Martial Soul. He frowned slightly. It still wasn't enough. He was still one attribute short of allowing the Fallen Angel Martial Soul to evolve.

The Netherworld's Other Shore Flower and Mysterious Ice Nether Grass had raised the Fallen Angel Martial Soul's Ultimate Darkness and Ultimate Yin Cold to a new level. If it had been a single ultimate Martial Soul, this would have meant Martial Soul Evolution. But the Fallen Angel Martial Soul possessed three ultimate attributes. For it to evolve, all three ultimate attributes had to reach the same level. In other words, the Ultimate Evil attribute had to reach the same level as darkness and yin cold. Otherwise, the Fallen Angel Martial Soul could not evolve to a new stage.

Porcupinefish Douluo asked, "Eldest Young Master, how are you?"

"I'm fine. Go do your own thing. Next, I'm taking all these herbs with me." Qian Renhan took out a pile of tools. Harvesting Immortal Herbs required utmost caution, and he did not trust an amateur like Porcupinefish Douluo with the task.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Nine-Grade Purple Mushroom, Golden Sun Grass, Bright Heaven Grass, Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

Not a single Immortal Herb escaped Qian Renhan's harvesting. He used a separate Storage Soul Tool for the Immortal Herbs containing dark and death energy, lest that brain-dead Qian Xunji give them to Bibi Dong. As long as they were not Immortal Herbs that strengthened the Martial Soul's origin, then something like the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, which strengthened the foundation and cultivated yuan, was no big deal. Bibi Dong was already a Rank 80 Soul Douluo. What use was strengthening her foundation now? If Bibi Dong gave him a gift, he would not accept it. Likewise, he would not give her even a single Immortal Herb containing dark and death energy.

What would he give them to her for? So she could grow stronger and destroy the Angel Clan? So she could kill Qian Xunji? Even if Qian Xunji had slapped him, and Qian Daoliu and even the Six Great Enshrined Elders had grown far more distant toward him, that did not mean he would bear a grudge against them.

Qian Renhan walked over to a snow-white Immortal Herb. It was crystalline white, and every blade seemed as though it could drip with water. Long and curved, it resembled a swan's neck.

Snow-White Swan's Kiss. Its Martial Soul attribute was stimulation; it stimulated toxins. Any toxin that came into contact with it would be stimulated a thousandfold or more. Without question, the person most suited for this Immortal Herb was also Bibi Dong, because the poison of her Death Spider Emperor was the strongest poison of the present age. Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison was child's play before it. If Bibi Dong were given this, she could be said to kill anyone she touched. Even the Six-Winged Angel likely could not purify the poison.

But the same principle still applied.

"Elder Pufferfish, take this Immortal Herb and consume it." Qian Renhan dug up the Snow-White Swan's Kiss and tossed it to Porcupinefish Douluo.

Porcupinefish Douluo's pupils widened as he carefully caught it. He had just seen how much energy these tiny herbs contained.

Porcupinefish Douluo asked, "Eldest Young Master, how should I consume this Immortal Herb?"

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renhan said, "Try chewing one leaf first. If nothing happens, eat the entire plant."

"Understood."

Five days passed. After spending two days as a gardener and three days admiring the scenery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Qian Renhan flew toward Heaven Dou City. Tomorrow would be the day he dueled the genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, with Porcupinefish Douluo following beside him.

At this point, Porcupinefish Douluo's cultivation had reached Rank 93. Under the effects of the Snow-White Swan's Kiss, unimaginable toxins had accumulated in his body. If Dugu Bo could massacre an entire city with a full-power outburst, then Porcupinefish Douluo could likely turn everything within a thousand li into a land of death.

The moment they left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and lost the energy barrier of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, high above Douluo Continent lay a place suffused with immortal mist. A gentle halo, like a mother's hand, lightly caressed the delicate skin of the clouds. The illusory space possessed an exceptionally moving sense of substance. Vaguely, not far away, there seemed to stand a majestic palace, illusory yet real beneath the caress of that soft halo.

Within the palace stood a handsome man clad in black. His pitch-black eyes resembled an abyss capable of devouring everything in the world. Without question, he was a legendary Level 100 God.

The handsome man propped up his head and watched Qian Renhan flying toward Heaven Dou City on Douluo Continent with great interest.

"A Fallen Angel? I never expected the Angel Clan to produce such an anomaly. Such profound and powerful Extreme Darkness... if he reached my position, he could rely on this darkness to contend with a God King to some extent. With his other two attributes as well, he could absolutely possess strength second only to a God King."

The handsome man pointed at Qian Renhan, and pitch-black divine power flowed forth. "Little fellow, you are the one I choose. In the future, do not disgrace this god's divine position."

At that moment, Qian Renhan, flying toward Heaven Dou City, had no idea that a Dark Mark had suddenly appeared on his forehead before vanishing without a trace.
