Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

As Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao ventured deep into the Sunset Forest, the surrounding vegetation grew increasingly dense.

Gradually, the light dimmed, and a faint mist began to drift through the woods; the deeper they went, the thicker the fog became.

Snow Empress frowned slightly, sensing the peculiar nature of the mist, and asked, "Is this miasma?"

As she spoke, she instinctively channeled a wisp of power to shield Huo Yuhao beside her.

The current Snow Empress was able to feel these emotions because Huo Yuhao had used the Eye of Destiny to manifest the tears she had shed just before the final battle of his past life. Through that single tear, she had come to share in those same feelings.

Although most of her memories remained fragmented, Snow Empress did not mind; what she cherished more was the future she would spend with Huo Yuhao.

As for Tian Meng, he was currently in a deep slumber. It was entirely due to Tian Meng's origin power that Huo Yuhao had been able to manifest the Snow Woman's Tears, which had forced him into a slumber lasting several months.

Huo Yuhao also harbored the intention of using the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to shorten Tian Meng's recovery time.

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

In his past life, the fact that he and Qiu'er were able to pass through that poisonous region unscathed was entirely due to the protection of the Snow Empress soul spirit.

Now, with the Snow Empress present in her full power, passing through this Jade Phosphorus Poison Cloud—which even Titled Douluo feared—was naturally effortless.

At this moment, the two had reached the deepest part of the miasma, and as far as the eye could see, everything was a startling emerald green.

These were emerald-green plants, not tall, standing only about half a meter in height.

Each plant grew nine strangely shaped leaves; these leaves resembled human palms, but with seven fingers, and some of the larger specimens even had nine.

At their apex bloomed large, emerald-green flowers. A faint green mist rose slowly from the stamens, gradually spreading outward to merge into the seven-colored toxic miasma of the sky.

Snow Empress held Huo Yuhao's hand, hovering in mid-air as she gazed at the neatly arranged emerald plants, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Yuhao, these Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers... why do they look like they were planted by someone? This is far too orderly."

Snow Empress had been suspicious from the start; the environment of the Sunset Forest did not seem suitable for growing so many Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers, let alone the ones that had evolved into Jade Phosphorus Nine-Absolute Flowers.

One had to know that even the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower was extremely rare and precious. Finding a single Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower that had become a plant-type soul beast was the dream of most plant-type soul masters.

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

Huo Yuhao began to recount the history of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's original owner, Dugu Bo, and how this treasure land eventually became Tang San's private garden.

Snow Empress did not care about such things, but she could keenly sense the bone-chilling, absolute calmness of the murderous intent in Huo Yuhao's tone whenever he mentioned Tang San.

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

Snow Empress asked softly; she naturally knew of the Sea God Tang San who had ascended ten thousand years ago.

"It is him, but not only him."

Huo Yuhao's response remained cold and steady.

"Beyond his Sea God divine position, Tang San also inherited the divine position of Asura. The original Shrek Seven Devils also became gods ten thousand years ago. Xue'er, I..."

Although Huo Yuhao had inherited the Eye of Destiny and the Golden Dragon King Divine Core, he still lacked absolute confidence in his ability to kill Tang San.

If he attempted to kill Tang San within the God Realm, he would have to face the resistance of the entire divine hierarchy.

Had his companions from his past life not sacrificed themselves one after another to shield him from the divine punishment for god-slaying, he likely wouldn't have even had the chance to drag Tang San into the spatial turbulence to perish together.

Now that he had been given a second chance, was he to drag his past companions into this dangerous vortex once again?

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

"Yuhao, even if we start over, I would still make the same choice."

Her ice-blue eyes gazed at Huo Yuhao as she pleaded with earnest sincerity:

"So, Yuhao, do not think about leaving me behind to face this alone. Will you?"

As Snow Empress unleashed the Snow Dance Shining Sun, a frigid cold current raged outward, and the humid, toxic air began to undergo an immediate, subtle change.

Large swathes of the seven-colored toxic miasma scattered rapidly as if they had encountered something terrifying, and massive amounts of seven-colored powder rained down onto the ground, leaving the surrounding air crisp and clear.

Taking this opportunity, Snow Empress wrapped her arm around Huo Yuhao's waist and moved forward along the sea of Jade Phosphorus flowers, finally landing before a valley.

Under the suppression of Snow Empress's powerful aura, the plant-type soul beasts hidden in the shadows dared not intervene. Even those foolish enough to attempt an attack were instantly crushed by the power of the Snow Dance Shining Sun.

They quickly passed through the miasma, and the scene before them was entirely renewed, resembling a paradise on earth.

The sky was completely shrouded in seven-colored toxic clouds, making the valley appear as if it were illuminated by a rainbow, dazzling and moving. The distant mountain walls looked as if they were cast from sapphires shimmering with faint, seven-colored light.

The valley was not particularly large, yet it was filled with a vast variety of plants; as far as the eye could see, there was an uncountable array of colors.

All manner of beautiful flowers vied for splendor, and various plants were heavy with fruit. Many of the plants emitted treasures of varying brilliance, clearly indicating they were no ordinary items.

Most striking of all was a lake nestled amidst the protection of these plants.

The lake was clearly divided into two distinct parts. One half was an icy white, emitting a faint mist, while the other half was a fiery red, steaming with heat.

From a distance, these two colors looked like two massive pieces of jade embedded into the earth.

Snow Empress, having landed on the ground with Huo Yuhao, was also moved by the sight.

"To think such a place actually exists."

Huo Yuhao's gaze remained locked onto the lake where icy white and fiery red converged.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon King Divine Core suppressed within his spiritual sea was struggling violently, emitting a dazzling radiance that dyed his entire spiritual sea gold in an instant.

Only now, having truly entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, did he realize that his previous guess—that only ordinary god-level dragons had perished here—had been a massive underestimation.

Those who fell here were likely the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

Huo Yuhao's sight fell upon a large, pale pink flower at the intersection of the icy and fiery lake waters.

The flower was enormous, with a diameter of over three feet; each petal looked as crystalline and translucent as glass, swaying gently with the water mist.

Yet, within a ten-zhang radius around it, there was not a single other plant to be found.
