Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

As Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao ventured deeper into Sunset Forest, the vegetation around them grew increasingly dense.

Gradually, the light dimmed, and a faint mist began drifting through the forest. The deeper they went, the thicker the mist became.

Snow Empress frowned slightly as she sensed the unusual fog and asked,

"Is this miasma?"

As she spoke, Snow Empress instinctively separated out a wisp of power to shield Huo Yuhao beside her.

The current Snow Empress had experienced the same emotions through the tear she had shed before the final battle in her previous life, which Huo Yuhao had materialized through the Eye of Destiny.

Although most of her memories were fragmented beyond repair, Snow Empress did not care. What she treasured more was the future she would have with Huo Yuhao.

As for Tian Meng, she was still asleep. Huo Yuhao had only been able to materialize Snow Woman's Tears by relying on Tian Meng's origin power, which had caused her to fall asleep for several months.

Huo Yuhao also intended to use the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to shorten Tian Meng's slumber somewhat.

"Yes, Xue'er," Huo Yuhao replied softly. "More precisely, this is poisonous miasma produced by the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers and Jade Phosphorus Nine-Absolute Flowers."

In his previous life, Qiu'er and he had been able to pass safely through that poisonous growth entirely because of Snow Empress, his Soul Spirit.

Now that Snow Empress herself had arrived with her complete strength, passing through this Jade Phosphorus Poison Cloud—feared even by Title Douluo—was naturally effortless.

At this point, the two had reached the deepest part of the poisonous miasma. Everywhere they looked was an astonishing sea of jade green.

They were jade-green plants, not particularly tall, only about half a meter in height.

Each jade-green plant bore nine oddly shaped leaves. The leaves somewhat resembled human palms, except they had seven fingers. Some of the larger plants even had nine fingers.

At their tops bloomed large jade-green flowers. Faint jade-green mist slowly rose from their stamens, gradually spreading outward and merging into the multicolored poisonous miasma in the sky.

Snow Empress held Huo Yuhao's hand as they hovered in midair. Looking at the neatly arranged jade-green plants before them, a trace of confusion flashed through her eyes.

"Yuhao, why do these Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers look as though they were deliberately planted? They're far too orderly."

Snow Empress had already found it somewhat strange. The environment of Sunset Forest did not seem suitable for growing so many Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers, much less for some of them to have evolved into Jade Phosphorus Nine-Absolute Flowers.

Even Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers were exceedingly rare and precious. Finding one that had become a plant-type Soul Beast was the dream of most plant-type Soul Masters.

"Xue'er, this miasma was deliberately arranged to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from being discovered."

Huo Yuhao began recounting how Dugu Bo, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's original owner, had come to possess this treasured land, and how it had ultimately become Tang San's private garden.

Snow Empress did not particularly care about that, but she could keenly sense the bone-chilling killing intent beneath Huo Yuhao's utterly calm tone whenever he mentioned Tang San.

"So, Yuhao, is that Sea God Tang San your future enemy?"

Snow Empress asked softly. Naturally, she knew of Sea God Tang San, who had ascended ten thousand years ago.

"It's him, but not only him."

Huo Yuhao's answer remained calm.

"Besides the Sea God Godhood, Tang San also inherited the Asura God's Godhood. The first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils all became gods ten thousand years ago as well. Xue'er, I..."

Although Huo Yuhao had inherited the Eye of Destiny and the Golden Dragon King Divine Core, he still did not have absolute confidence that he could kill Tang San.

When he tried to kill Tang San in the God Realm, he would have to face the resistance of the entire divine system of the God Realm.

If not for the successive deaths of his companions in his previous life, who had shielded him from the divine punishment for slaying a god, he likely would not even have had the chance to drag Tang San into the Space-Time Turbulence and perish with him.

And now that he had another chance, was he still going to drag his companions from his previous life into this dangerous vortex?

Before Huo Yuhao could sort out his thoughts, Snow Empress had already gently embraced him.

"Yuhao, even if I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."

Her ice-blue eyes gazed at Huo Yuhao as she pleaded with heartfelt sincerity.

"So, Yuhao, don't think about leaving me behind to face it alone. All right?"

As Snow Empress unleashed Snow Dance Shining Sun, an icy current surged forth, and the damp air of the poisonous miasma immediately began to change slightly.

Vast swathes of multicolored poisonous miasma scattered rapidly as though they had encountered something most terrifying. Great quantities of multicolored powder fell to the ground, and the surrounding air cleared at once.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Snow Empress wrapped an arm around Huo Yuhao's waist and moved forward through the sea of jade phosphorus flowers. At last, they arrived before a valley and drifted down lightly.

Intimidated by Snow Empress's powerful aura, the plant-type Soul Beasts hidden in the darkness did not intervene. Even if some foolish Soul Beasts chose to attack, they were instantly crushed by the power of Snow Dance Shining Sun.

They soon passed through the poisonous miasma, and the sight before them changed completely, like an earthly paradise.

The sky was entirely shrouded in multicolored poisonous clouds, making the valley seem as if it were illuminated by a rainbow—dazzling and enchanting. The distant mountain walls appeared to have been forged from sapphires that shimmered with faint multicolored light.

The valley was not particularly large, yet all kinds of plants grew within it. As far as the eye could see, there were too many colors to count.

Beautiful flowers vied in splendor, while all kinds of vegetation bore abundant fruit. Quite a few plants emitted treasure light of varying intensity; one look was enough to tell they were no ordinary things.

Most eye-catching of all was a lake surrounded by these plants.

The lake was distinctly divided into two halves. One half was icy white and emitted faint white vapor, while the other was fiery red and steamed with heat.

From afar, the two colors resembled two enormous pieces of jade set into the earth.

After bringing Huo Yuhao down to the ground, even Snow Empress was moved by the sight.

"To think a place like this exists."

Huo Yuhao's gaze, meanwhile, was fixed tightly on the lake where icy white and fiery red converged.

At that moment, the Golden Dragon King Divine Core suppressed within his Spiritual Sea struggled violently, releasing dazzling light that dyed his entire Spiritual Sea gold in an instant.

Only after truly entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well did he realize that he had greatly underestimated things when he guessed that only ordinary god level dragons had fallen here.

The ones who had fallen here were very likely the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

Huo Yuhao's gaze fell upon a pale-pink flower growing where the icy and fiery lake waters met.

The flower was enormous, over three feet in diameter. Every petal looked as clear and crystalline as crystal, and the pale-pink blossom swayed gently with the mist.

Within a radius of thirty meters around it, there was not a single other plant.
