Octagonal Ice, Infernal Fire! Mastering Evil Fire? Phoenix Bloodline Purified, Dugu Bo Stunned!

Huang Yan turned to look at Shui Bing'er, his gaze gentle yet resolute:

"Bing'er, are you afraid?"

Shui Bing'er didn't hesitate for a moment. She clasped Huang Yan's hand in hers:

"As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything.

What do you need me to do?"

"Our Martial Souls are both phoenixes. You are the ice of the Phoenix, and I am its fire.

"In a moment, you'll take the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and I'll take the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

"Once we've taken them, we'll immediately activate our Martial Soul Fusion and jump into this spring."

"Jump into the spring?"

Shui Bing'er glanced at the spring eye, where boiling water and bone-deep cold intertwined.

"That's right. We'll use the source of ice and fire in the spring to completely refine the Immortal Herbs' medicinal power and bring about the final transformation of our Phoenix Martial Souls."

Huang Yan spoke earnestly.

After discovering the secret of his Martial Soul,

Huang Yan had carefully examined his Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

He discovered that he didn't necessarily have to purify the Evil Fire within him.

Admittedly, the Evil Fire had caused Huang Yan a great deal of trouble.

But now that Shui Bing'er had become his woman,

the Evil Fire wouldn't cause Huang Yan any trouble. Instead, whenever it threatened to erupt, he and Shui Bing'er could enter a state of "ice and fire merging."

This could actually improve their cultivation efficiency.

Moreover, Huang Yan had created the technique "Evil Fire Burning Heaven," which let him control the Evil Fire and turn it into a means of attack.

So, all Huang Yan needed to do now was awaken the truly supreme Phoenix bloodline within him,

then completely control and suppress the Evil Fire,

turning it into one of his own weapons.

"Okay. I'll do as you say."

Shui Bing'er nodded with a smile in her eyes.

Dugu Bo, standing nearby, felt his scalp prickle. He couldn't help shouting:

"Are you crazy?!

You've both completely lost your minds!

Even my poison arts can't withstand that spring. If you jump in, there won't be so much as a bone left!"

Azure Luan Douluo shot Dugu Bo a cold glance, and the formidable pressure of his ninety-seventh rank locked onto him in an instant:

"Silence.

If my disciple says he can handle it, then he can handle it.

If anything happens to them, I'll take you down with them."

Dugu Bo fell silent at once, drenched in cold sweat. He didn't dare say another word.

Huang Yan didn't waste any more time. He took a jade knife and an iron sword from his Soul Tool, swiftly cut down the two Immortal Herbs, and brought them together.

"Bing'er, open your mouth!"

Without hesitation, the two of them each swallowed the Immortal Herb suited to their attributes.

Extreme cold and wild, blazing heat erupted inside them. Their faces immediately turned red and white, respectively.

"Martial Soul Fusion!"

Huang Yan shouted, pulling Shui Bing'er tightly into his arms.

Dark red and icy blue light soared into the sky, and the apparition of the Ice Flame Divine Phoenix instantly enveloped them.

"Splash—"

Water sprayed everywhere as the two, still holding each other tight, leaped into the spring without a moment's hesitation.

The surface of the spring churned for a moment, then quickly settled back into stillness.

"Third Offering, d-do you think they'll really survive?"

Watching the motionless water, Dugu Bo couldn't help asking in a cautious whisper.

Azure Luan Douluo stared fixedly at the spring eye, his hands clasped behind his back tightening slightly as he answered in a low voice:

"Keep watching in silence.

If anything goes wrong, I'll cut you down first."

Dugu Bo stood on the bank, close to tears.

What in the world was this?

He'd been minding his own business in his lair, and people had forcibly broken through his poison formation.

Now he had to worry about two young fools who'd jumped into the spring to kill themselves—and if anything went wrong, he'd be dragged down with them.

Through the mingling waters, Azure Luan Douluo and Dugu Bo could clearly see from the bank

that beneath the spring eye, the "Ice Flame Divine Phoenix" formed by the two of them was flashing with brilliant icy blue and crimson light.

The medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot was rapidly spreading throughout their bodies.

Because they were in the "ice and fire merging" state of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill,

the visible energies of heaven and earth within the Ice Spring and Yang Spring turned into specks of light, pouring frantically into Huang Yan and Shui Bing'er.

"T-this... how is this possible?!"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened. He pointed beneath the water and stammered,

"That extreme ice-and-fire power is something even I wouldn't dare touch lightly. Not only weren't they melted by it, they're actually absorbing the energy in the spring?"

Azure Luan Douluo's tense expression finally eased, and a proud smile tugged at his lips:

"How could ordinary reasoning apply to my disciple?

Poison Douluo, it seems your treasured land has completely fulfilled their needs today."

"You're right, Third Offering..."

Dugu Bo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled ingratiatingly.

"It's the spring's good fortune to have caught the two young friends' eye."

Meanwhile, deep beneath the spring,

the two of them, in their Martial Soul Fusion state, had completely connected their consciousnesses.

"Bing'er, how do you feel?

Can your body hold up?"

Huang Yan's voice echoed in Shui Bing'er's mind.

"I'm fine."

Shui Bing'er's voice held a hint of excitement.

"The chill of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the energy of the Ice Spring around us are constantly purifying my Ice Phoenix bloodline.

"With the power of your Yang Spring balancing it out, I don't feel any pain at all. It actually feels wonderful."

"That's good.

"The Infernal Delicate Apricot's medicinal power is also helping me suppress and completely control the Evil Fire."

Huang Yan replied,

"Since the spring is so rich in energy, let's let loose and absorb our fill!"

"Mm!

"I'll do whatever you say!"

On the bank, Dugu Bo watched the Divine Phoenix apparition beneath the water grow brighter and brighter, until it even began to give off bursts of Phoenix Cry. He couldn't help swallowing:

"Third Offering, at the rate they're absorbing it...

"Will they drain all the energy from my Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

Azure Luan Douluo glanced at him, his tone lowering:

"What, are you worried about losing it?"

"No, not at all!

"Absolutely not!"

Dugu Bo waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of misery as he explained,

"I just fear the energy might be too immense. What if it bursts the two young friends' meridians...?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Azure Luan Douluo folded his arms, his eyes fixed intently beneath the water.

"With their Martial Soul Fusion Skill serving as a bridge, the yin and yang energies in their bodies have already reached perfect balance.

"Now, we'll just have to see how far their Martial Souls can transform."

Deep in the spring, icy blue and crimson light interwove and flashed.

As the energies of heaven and earth from the Ice Spring and Yang Spring continued to pour into them,

Huang Yan and Shui Bing'er could clearly feel the immense medicinal power of the two Immortal Herbs being rapidly refined by their bodies.

In their Martial Soul Fusion state, the two of them were already maintaining a deep Martial Soul Possession.

"Bing'er, can you feel it?"

Huang Yan's voice echoed through the consciousness they shared.

"Mm!"

Shui Bing'er's voice brimmed with excitement she could hardly hide.

"My Ice Phoenix bloodline is being purified, and the power of ice is growing purer by the moment.

"Plus, our Soul Power is rising rapidly!"

"My Phoenix bloodline is changing too."

Feeling the surging power within him, Huang Yan's voice turned serious.

"But, Bing'er, there's something I need to do next. I'll need your help."
