Di Tian rose and looked over. The one who had just spoken was actually a plant.

A fiery red Immortal Herb radiated dense fire-attributed Soul Power.

"Didn't expect there to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast here?"

Di Tian asked calmly, "Are you a Soul Beast from this place?"

His expression was casual, showing no regard whatsoever for the Infernal Delicate Apricot before him.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like the Infernal Delicate Apricot would be enough to make any Title Douluo scramble for it outside.

But in Di Tian's eyes, it was nothing special.

Even before obtaining the Dragon Vein, he could have slapped such a creature to death. Let alone now.

Hearing Di Tian's surprise at her hundred-thousand-year cultivation, the Infernal Delicate Apricot said proudly,

"This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can accelerate plant growth. One day of growth here is equivalent to ten days outside! In other words, I'm only ten thousand years old!"

Her leaves trembled slightly, as though displaying her strength.

"At the same time, I am the guardian of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

Di Tian nodded in understanding, then said,

"This is the Sea God's territory, isn't it? Since you are the guardian of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, you should know where the methods the Sea God left behind are."

He paused, his gaze gradually turning dangerous.

"If you tell me, I might consider not punishing you for betraying Soul Beasts."

To take away the Dragon Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, he would inevitably confront the Sea God head-on.

After all, the corpses of those two Dragon Kings were the source of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

If he removed the Dragon Bones, it would not be long before the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well lost its balance and became a dead land.

As the master of this place, the Sea God naturally would not stand by and do nothing.

At those words, the Infernal Delicate Apricot flew into a rage.

"Since you already know this is Lord Sea God's territory, why did you trespass?!"

The flames on her leaves surged violently, and the entire Immortal Herb trembled fiercely.

"I will destroy you, insolent intruder, on behalf of Lord Sea God!"

The moment she finished speaking, a figure wielding twin swords shot out of the Fire Spring within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

That figure was formed entirely from crimson springwater. Holding two longswords, it charged straight at Di Tian!

Whoosh!

The twin swords tore through the air, slashing down at Di Tian with fierce sword energy!

But just as the figure approached Di Tian and swung its swords, the dragon-shaped Soul Power around Di Tian moved again.

The purple energy transformed into a dragon claw and swiped at the figure.

Rip!

A tearing sound rang out, and the twin-sword-wielding figure was instantly cut into four pieces.

"What?!"

The Infernal Delicate Apricot was greatly shocked.

But it was quickly replaced by humiliation.

"Again!"

The figure above the Fire Spring re-formed, and this time, it drew upon the power of the Fire Spring.

The water in the Fire Spring churned and transformed into streams of crimson water that poured into the figure, causing the flames around it to surge several times higher as its strength soared.

The figure charged at Di Tian again, its presence far stronger than before.

Impatience flashed across Di Tian's face, and he frowned slightly.

Two streams split from the purple Soul Power around him. One met the charging flaming figure and easily smashed it apart once more.

The other rushed toward the Infernal Delicate Apricot and tightly coiled around her roots.

Like an invisible giant hand, the purple Soul Power uprooted the Infernal Delicate Apricot and brought her before Di Tian.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot struggled desperately, but no matter what she did, she could not break free from the purple Soul Power's restraint.

Di Tian looked at the struggling Infernal Delicate Apricot and shook his head in disappointment, just about to speak.

Another voice came from the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Little Fire, I'm here to help you!"

Ice-blue Soul Power emerged, and an Immortal Herb covered in ice-blue leaves and frost crystals appeared beside the Ice Spring.

It was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Seeing the Infernal Delicate Apricot so easily suppressed, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass realized that the horned man before her was extraordinarily powerful and no ordinary opponent.

So, from the very start, she used her full strength.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass drew upon the power of the Ice Spring, causing its waters to surge and transform into streams of ice-blue water that flowed into her body.

An attack carrying a vast amount of Ice Spring water condensed into form. Its cold aura was bone-piercing, already reaching the level of Ultimate Ice.

With overwhelming force, it swept toward Di Tian!

Di Tian frowned, his face showing a trace of impatience.

"One after another. Does this never end?"

He extended a hand toward the approaching attack. A ball of purple Soul Power the size of an infant's fist appeared in his palm.

Though small, that sphere of purple Soul Power emitted a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble.

With a casual push, Di Tian sent the purple Soul Power toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's attack.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's attack instantly collapsed the moment it touched the purple Soul Power, unable to last even a single breath.

After shattering the attack, the purple Soul Power did not slow in the slightest. It continued along its original path, shooting directly toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!

Bang!!!

A thunderous explosion erupted on the opposite shore of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and the shockwave sent waves several yards high into the air.

A massive crater appeared on the far shore.

Even the plant-type Soul Beasts around the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass were caught in the blast, and Soul Rings of various colors rose from the smoke and dust.

The smoke gradually dispersed.

A red Soul Ring came into view as well.

"Little Ice!"

The Infernal Delicate Apricot cried out in grief.

As she shouted, the purple Soul Power wrapped around her tightened further.

Di Tian leaned in close, his golden dragon pupils staring coldly at her.

"Now, you should be able to tell me."

His gaze swept over the red Soul Ring on the opposite shore.

"Otherwise, that ice grass will be your fate."

The Infernal Delicate Apricot writhed in pain beneath the constriction, yet she still spoke unwillingly. "I... I will not betray..."

Before she could finish.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the impatient Di Tian snapped her in two at the waist.

A red Soul Ring slowly rose before Di Tian.

"Little Ice! Little Fire!"

An enraged voice came from the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, filled with fury.

"Die, intruder!"

An Immortal Herb whose leaves were as translucent and lustrous as jade emerged from the edge of the pool.

It was the king of Immortal Herbs, the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Dense fluctuations of Soul Power radiated from her body, far stronger than those of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

She began gathering her power. Golden light converged around her, forming a dazzling sphere of light.

Di Tian merely glanced casually in her direction.

Purple light flashed in his golden dragon pupils.

The next moment.

Bang!

The king of Immortal Herbs, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, exploded on the spot, fragments of plant matter scattering everywhere.

Another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring slowly rose.

"Hmph. Noisy."

Di Tian snorted coldly, his tone full of impatience.

He turned and walked to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, standing with his hands behind his back as his gaze fell upon the pool where fire and blue intermingled.

Since he could not get an answer, he would act directly.

Once he retrieved the corpses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, the methods left behind by the Sea God would most likely be triggered.

Purple light flickered in Di Tian's eyes, and the purple Soul Power around him began to surge.

No matter what method the Sea God had left behind.

He, Di Tian, accepted it!
