"Aromatic Silk Beauty." "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass." "Infernal Delicate Apricot." "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum." "Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid." "Aromatic Silk Beauty." "Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower." "Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone." "Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma." "Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew." "Snowy Swan Kiss."
"Holy crap, kid, you hit the jackpot." Even Divine Eye couldn't help exclaiming.
At last, Divine Eye locked its spiritual power onto the final Immortal Herb.
"Lovesick Heartbreak Red. A divine-grade Immortal Herb, the king of flowers."
"Divine Eye, you're incredible. You recognized every single one." Qian Yu had been worried that he didn't know what these Immortal Herbs did.
"Please. Who do you think I am? I'm an all-knowing, all-powerful existence."
"Kid, take me over beside Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass," Divine Eye instructed Qian Yu.
Qian Yu did as told.
Divine Eye opened its gaping maw and swallowed the two Immortal Herbs whole.
Then it converted their power and fed it back to Qian Yu. The feedback was still three times the usual amount—who knew how much stronger it was than taking them directly?
Qian Yu felt cold and heat intertwining inside his body.
"Kid, jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Now!"
Divine Eye urged Qian Yu impatiently.
"Okay." Qian Yu didn't hesitate and leaped straight in.
He plunged into the spring. The ice and fire within Qian Yu surged wildly, pounding and widening his meridians.
At the same time, the two forces—one cold, one hot—continued to merge. Two streams of power, one red and one blue, converged inside Qian Yu's body.
The veins all over Qian Yu's body bulged. Sweat had barely appeared on his forehead before it evaporated. "Kid, hold on!" Divine Eye barked.
Then it sped up its circulation, continuously swallowing the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
A third marking faintly appeared on Divine Eye.
"Kid, I owe you for this one, too. I can feel that within three years, as long as I absorb the ice and fire energy in this spring, I'll recover to the third level—the realm where I can return four times the power." Divine Eye sounded delighted.
"Really? Then congratulations, Divine Eye." Qian Yu was happy for it, too.
At the same time, Qian Yu sensed two more forces inside his body.
They lay dormant in his dantian.
Unless Qian Yu looked closely, he wouldn't have noticed them.
"What are these?" Qian Yu asked Divine Eye curiously.
"They're the powers of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Ice. Either one, cultivated to its peak, is powerful enough to crush an entire era. And now, Qian Yu, you possess both. Do you know what that means?" Divine Eye said excitedly.
Qian Yu understood what Divine Eye meant. It meant that as long as he didn't perish, he would reach the summit one day and become one of the most powerful beings in existence. How could that not thrill him?
Just as Qian Yu finished absorbing the energy and was about to return to the shore,
Divine Eye suddenly warned him, "Kid, wait. I sense something at the bottom of the pool."
As Divine Eye's power increased, so did its perception. It had been unable to sense what was there before, but now, with its strength increased, it could feel something.
"Hm?" Qian Yu was curious, too.
Now that he possessed the powers of Ultimate Ice and fire, the spring could no longer harm him.
So he plunged straight to the bottom.
The farther down he went, the hotter and colder it became.
The two ultimate forces compressed together.
At last, they formed an invisible barrier.
No matter how hard Qian Yu tried, he couldn't get through.
"Kid, call upon your powers of Ultimate Ice and fire!"
Sure enough, when Qian Yu called upon those powers, he passed through with ease.
A cavern came into view.
One side of the cavern blazed like the sun, while the other was sharp with biting cold.
On each side stood a towering dragon-shaped skeleton: one fiery red, the other made of ice.
"Kid, your luck really is incredible. These are the remains of the million-year-old Ice and Fire Dragon King. Now I finally understand how the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed."
Divine Eye gazed at the towering dragon skeletons and sighed.
It was clear that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well existed because of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's remains, transformed by the power of Douluo Continent.
"Divine Eye, there doesn't seem to be anything good here. They're just two Spirit Beast skeletons, aren't they?" Qian Yu felt disappointed that he hadn't gained anything from the trip.
"Hmph, kid, what nonsense are you talking?"
"Try channeling the power of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire into the two dragon skeletons, respectively."
Divine Eye was speechless at Qian Yu's words.
He really couldn't tell a treasure from a mountain of rocks.
At Divine Eye's words, Qian Yu immediately stepped forward and channeled the ultimate powers into them.
The Fire Dragon King's skeleton crumbled to dust and fused into a left arm bone and a Fire Dragon Pearl.
The Ice Dragon King's skeleton crumbled to dust as well, fusing into a right arm bone and an Ice Dragon Pearl.
"Spirit Bones—million-year Spirit Bones." Qian Yu felt dizzy. "Strange. What are these two dragon pearls for?"
How could he not be thrilled to obtain two million-year Spirit Bones at once?
"Kid, hurry up and absorb the Spirit Bones."
"Don't worry. The Ice and Fire Dragon King died ages ago. These Spirit Bones are harmless now, so just absorb them."
Divine Eye hurried Qian Yu to absorb them, seemingly delighted by the thrill of making him stronger.
"Okay." Qian Yu didn't waste any time.
He took the arm bones and pressed them against his left and right arms.
"Buzz." A mighty surge of Soul Power flowed into Qian Yu's body.
Qian Yu was currently restricted by the rules of Douluo Continent, so his Soul Power could only manifest as level 40. But he felt that this time alone, his Soul Power had increased by at least five levels.
The million-year Spirit Bones also granted Qian Yu two Spirit Skills each.
Left Arm Bone Spirit Bone First Spirit Skill: Dragon Flame Armor-Piercing Bullet Condense the Fire Dragon King's Ultimate Fire force into the Desert Eagle's ammunition. The bullet is wrapped in dragon flame, triggering an ultimate burn on impact (lasts 8 seconds and deals Ultimate Fire Soul Power damage each second. While the target is burning, its Soul Power meridians are clogged by the fire force, reducing its recovery speed by 60%). Second Spirit Skill: Fire Dragon True Body: Gun Arm Fusion The source power of the Fire Dragon King's left arm bone deeply fuses with the Desert Eagle Martial Soul, transforming the entire left arm into a fire dragon gauntlet. The Desert Eagle's barrel extends into fire dragon fangs (can slash in close combat; the blade is imbued with Ultimate Dragon Flame, and slashing triggers an area explosion). At the same time, Fire Dragon Avatar activates as a bodyguard: grants immunity to all fire-attribute damage below Ultimate Fire, and when struck by non-fire-attribute damage, reflects 40% of the damage and inflicts an Ultimate Fire burn. Right Arm Bone First Spirit Skill: Ice Dragon Crystal Splinter Bullet Condense the Ice Dragon King's Ultimate Ice force into the Desert Eagle's ammunition, turning the bullets into ultimate ice crystals. On impact, they trigger an Absolute Zero freeze (freezes the target for 3 seconds, during which it cannot move or use skills. The ice crystals embed themselves in the target's body, continuing to inflict Ultimate Ice damage after thawing and reducing the speed of Soul Power circulation by 80%). If an ice crystal bullet hits a solid object or a Soul Power barrier, it shatters, creating an ice-crystal field with a 6-meter radius. All targets within the field are slowed by 90%, and the ground is covered in thick ice, restricting movement. Second Spirit Skill: Ice Dragon True Body: Gun Halo Bodyguard The source power of the Ice Dragon King's right arm bone gathers in the right arm and fuses with the Desert Eagle to form an ultimate ice dragon gun halo. The halo is translucent ice-blue and clings to the body and gun, forming a close-fitting shield: grants immunity to all ice-attribute damage below Ultimate Ice. When attacked, the shield releases an ice-crystal shock wave that knocks back targets within 10 meters and freezes them for 2 seconds;
