Poison Immortal's Breakthrough Opportunity? Swan's Kiss in Snow

Half an hour later.

The dark gold light slowly receded.

Ye Linyuan's right palm looked no different from before.

But when he activated the soul bone—

Clang!

The five dagger-like claws that originally belonged to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were now more than twice their original length.

Each one was a full foot long, and much thicker.

The original black claws had turned dark gold, their surfaces flowing with metallic luster.

Sharp enough to tear through anything!

Du Bùsǐ stared at those five claws, his gaze burning hot.

Just by looking, he could feel the terrifying offensive power contained within that pair of claws.

Ye Linyuan's mind stirred.

The five dark gold claws retracted instantly, then shot out again with astonishing speed.

Suddenly struck by a thought, he murmured, "What if I used Dark Gold Terrorclaw while activating my first soul skill, Wind Thunder Flash Strike..."

Before he could finish.

Ye Linyuan's figure vanished in an instant.

Boom!

A flash of cyan-purple thunder streaked by.

A crisp clang rang out as the nearby boulder, large enough to require two men to embrace, suddenly emitted a clean scraping sound.

Under Du Bùsǐ's stunned gaze, it split into five layers and slid to the ground.

The cuts were as smooth as a mirror, as if carved by a divine weapon.

Du Bùsǐ's pupils contracted slightly.

The power of Ye Linyuan's strike was probably already equivalent to that of a four-ring power attack Soul Ancestor!

And his speed was fast enough to rival a four-ring agility attack Soul Ancestor!

Seeing his own results, Ye Linyuan was equally excited.

So this was the legendary double A in power and speed?

Awesome!

Du Bùsǐ gave him a deep look and sighed, "A six-year-old Soul Grand Master, Twin Martial Souls, a thousand-year second soul ring, Life Gold, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw External Soul Bone."

"Linyuan, the gains from this trip of yours probably surpass what many soul masters accumulate in a lifetime!"

Ye Linyuan said modestly, "It's all thanks to Teacher's accurate information."

Du Bùsǐ laughed heartily. "Let's go, back to body tempering!"

A flash of green light, and the two figures vanished from the gorge in an instant, heading straight for the Heaven Dou Empire.

Sunset Forest.

Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Linyuan, have you thought this through?"

"Even though Life Gold can replenish your losses and help you recover quickly from injuries."

"Given the temperature of this Ice Fire Spring, the pain produced during body tempering is far from as simple as you imagine."

"If your spirit collapses during the process, then..."

Du Bùsǐ didn't finish his sentence.

But the gravity in his eyes already made the danger of this matter clear.

Ye Linyuan's gaze was firm, and he said in a deep voice, "The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has always been regarded by soul masters on the continent as an omen of misfortune."

"The dangers I might face in the future will certainly be no easier than this body tempering at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well."

"If I can't even overcome the difficulties before me now, how will I face the dangers outside later?"

Du Bùsǐ fell silent for a moment.

He didn't know that Ye Linyuan's true imagined enemy was actually a certain Buddha Lord, so he found it hard to understand why his disciple was pushing himself so recklessly.

But since his disciple had this resolve, he naturally wouldn't pour cold water on it.

"Every disciple of our Body Sect walks a different path of cultivation."

"Since you've made up your mind, then go ahead. Your teacher will naturally support you with all his strength."

Ye Linyuan nodded heavily. "Thank you, Teacher!"

He turned to look at the spring eye at the center of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Above the ice spring, a dense layer of mist hung like a tranquil piece of cold jade.

The fire spring was the exact opposite, occasionally sending up a gurgling bubble that burst with steam-like high temperatures, causing the air above it to warp slightly.

Ye Linyuan took a deep breath, then suddenly leaped up and jumped into the center of the Ice Fire Spring!

Splash!

Red and white spray exploded simultaneously.

A strange smell like burning flesh and blood immediately wafted out.

Du Bùsǐ's eye twitched slightly, and his fists unconsciously clenched tight.

Because he could clearly see that the half of Ye Linyuan's body submerged in the fire spring had turned bright red all over at a visible rate, like a boiled shrimp.

On top of the skin, a scorched black color instantly appeared.

That strange smell was emanating from this half of his body.

Meanwhile, the right half of his body was rapidly covered in a layer of frost.

As if, with just a tap to shatter that frost, the flesh and blood beneath would also shatter like an ice sculpture.

The moment he entered the spring, Ye Linyuan actually didn't feel intense pain.

He only felt his right side suddenly go stiff, losing all sensation, while his left side was just slightly hot.

But three seconds later, the terrifying low and high temperatures contained in the Ice Fire Spring began to violently invade inward through every pore on his body!

In that instant.

Even with Ye Linyuan's mature soul, having lived two lifetimes, he felt an urge to scream hysterically at the top of his lungs.

The half of his body soaked in the cold spring felt as if countless black iron needles buried in ice were stabbing and poking wildly through his flesh, causing excruciating pain.

Meanwhile, the half in the fire spring felt like being deep-fried in oil from the legendary eighteenth level of hell.

A blazing burning sensation drilled through every inch of muscle and bone, giving him the illusion that he was being roasted into dried meat.

These two completely different kinds of pain crashed into his mind like a tsunami, trying to shatter his will.

But just then, a dazzling green light suddenly lit up from Ye Linyuan's chest.

"Thump-thump! Thump-thump!"

A rich surge of life force burst forth, instantly flooding his entire body.

This life force was like a combination of potent nutrient fluid, sedative, and healing medicine, rapidly repairing Ye Linyuan's ravaged body.

And his shaken mental space also stabilized quickly due to this replenishment of life essence, restoring his consciousness, which had been dazed from the intense pain, back to clarity.

Ye Linyuan opened his eyes, a strong palpitation flashing in their depths.

What a terrifying Ice Fire Spring!

The temperature and energy contained within were even more violent than he had anticipated!

Fortunately, he had only entered after obtaining the Life Gold; if he hadn't had such a vast amount of life energy to compensate for the damage, forget about forging his body—the moment he entered, he would have definitely been severely injured!

Confirming that he wouldn't croak inside, Ye Linyuan endured the intense pain and began recalling the techniques and methods of the Cold Sun Forging Heart Art in his mind:

"Heart like ice, clear and calm; heaven falls, unshaken. Body like a furnace, earth boils, undisturbed..."

As Ye Linyuan began circulating his soul power according to the method, his Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart gradually became guided by this force.

Its originally rapid and powerful beat suddenly paused for a moment, then began to shift its rhythm.

"Thump! Thump-thump! Thump-thump-thump!"

Under this unique frequency, the blood and qi in Ye Linyuan's body, which had been suppressed by the Ice Fire power, seemed to be gathered back, concentrated, and then pumped out to his limbs and bones.

And in this process, the tendons, bones, and flesh that Ye Linyuan was passively enduring being burned and quenched

also began, under his active control, to absorb the spiritual energy contained in the Ice Fire Spring, strengthening themselves.

Electrolux's voice of admiration quietly sounded: "No matter which world, the wisdom of cultivators is the greatest creation!"
