As for the other immortal herbs, they did not stop the Snow Empress's actions; the herbs here were not exactly of one mind.
Now, watching the Snow Empress give the Infernal Delicate Apricot a hard time, they felt more like they were watching a show.
"I'll give it! I'll give it, won't I!"
Feeling the chill that could end its life, the Infernal Delicate Apricot cried out in a hurry.
Then, from the heart of the Infernal Delicate Apricot's flower, a gel-like liquid gradually flowed out, condensing into a ball of fiery red, transparent gelatinous substance.
The Snow Empress waved her hand gently, sweeping up the Blazing Glue and the Ice Rain Dew, and sent them into Huo Yuhao's hands.
Upon receiving the Blazing Glue and the Ice Rain Dew, Huo Yuhao quickly stuffed them into his mouth.
In an instant, his face turned alternately blue and red, his blood surged within him, and the aura of extreme cold and extreme heat intertwined inside his body.
Yet, at this very moment, a strange rose-gold circle spread outward from the center of Huo Yuhao's forehead, and a mysterious vertical pupil appeared within it.
Seeing this anomaly, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which had been swaying gently, froze, and blurted out:
"Human, how do you possess the power of destiny?"
Huo Yuhao did not respond to the Aromatic Silk Beauty; at this moment, waves of stinging pain were radiating throughout his entire body. Had the Eye of Destiny not protected Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, he likely would have been unable to breathe from the pain long ago.
Without much hesitation, he gave the Snow Empress a brief instruction:
"Xue'er, I will likely need a few days in the spring water to refine this. Please wait for me here."
Having said that, Huo Yuhao immediately leaped into the intersection of the Cold Extreme Yin Spring and the Blazing Yang Spring. As his figure submerged into the spring water, the red and white waters churned for a moment before returning to calm.
At this moment, inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes wide.
Within his vision, white and red halos intersected, merging and repelling each other to form a clear dividing line that extended deep into the spring water below.
The deeper he went, the greater the pressure exerted by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well became.
If not for the effects of the Blazing Glue and the Ice Rain Dew constantly offsetting the external pressure, and the Golden Dragon King Divine Core within his spiritual sea becoming increasingly active and continuously generating vast amounts of blood energy, he would have likely exploded and died under this immense pressure long ago.
Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters.
Thousands of meters beneath the water, there was no darkness typical of deep water; instead, it was bright and clear.
What appeared before Huo Yuhao now were two massive dragon skeletons, lying quietly atop the two spring eyes on either side.
One skeleton looked as if it were carved from red jade, while the other was as translucent as ice crystals.
The white skeleton and the red skeleton faced each other, as if they were still engaged in a final confrontation even in death.
Seemingly sensing the aura of the Ice and Fire Dragon King skeletons, the Golden Dragon King Divine Core in his spiritual sea vibrated even more violently.
As the vortex of blood energy within Huo Yuhao spun fiercely, the energy generated by the Ice Rain Dew and the Blazing Glue transformed into streams of warmth, surging toward his limbs and bones.
"Yuhao, what are you absorbing? Why does it feel so comfortable, just like soaking in a hot spring?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind. As she finished, she let out a long moan, her tone becoming even more languid.
"Sister Tian Meng, you've woken up?" Huo Yuhao was pleasantly surprised.
"Mm, I thought I would have to sleep for several more months, but Yuhao, what are you doing right now?" Tian Meng asked with curiosity.
"That's a long story, I'll try to keep it brief..."
After Huo Yuhao briefly recounted the situation, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke up:
"So, Yuhao, you intend to make those dragon souls your second martial soul?"
"Yes."
After answering the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's question, the vertical pupil on Huo Yuhao's forehead suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light, and a low, majestic dragon roar followed.
Amidst this dragon roar, the two dragon skeletons below also burst forth with lights of different colors. These lights condensed continuously, giving rise to one white and one red dragon soul, which began to circle continuously above the skeletons.
At this moment, the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suddenly began to churn and boil, with giant waves constantly rising.
This anomaly naturally caught the attention of those nearby. The Snow Empress looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with some concern, as if trying to pierce through the churning water to see the situation below.
An inexplicable sense of unease began to rise in the heart of the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
Before she could figure it out, she heard the Infernal Delicate Apricot suddenly shout:
"Why has it suddenly become so hot? That human, what on earth is he doing down there?"
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass also felt a surge of extreme cold rising, but being naturally silent by nature, she did not shout out like the Infernal Delicate Apricot; she merely shook her body, clearly struggling to endure the current low temperature.
Seeing this, the Aromatic Silk Beauty's thoughts were in turmoil. She had originally watched that human recklessly consume both the Ice Rain Dew and the Blazing Glue before diving into the spring, and had even viciously hoped that the human would die directly in the water.
But on second thought, if that human truly died here, the Snow Empress would likely tear this place apart. She then hoped he would survive and leave as quickly as possible.
However, the scene before her clearly indicated that the human had done something beneath the water, triggering a mutation in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Even Ah Jiao and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could not withstand the current energy aura of the spring; if this aura were to leak out, the entire valley would likely be destroyed in an instant.
Thinking back to the power of destiny the human had displayed earlier, the Aromatic Silk Beauty felt even more anxious.
She could only hope that the human would not truly destroy this treasure land, otherwise...
The Aromatic Silk Beauty thought again; even if she and the other immortal herbs banded together, they could not defeat the Snow Empress.
If it really came to that, she would have no choice but to respectfully ask the other party to leave. Thinking of this, the Aromatic Silk Beauty felt even more indignant.
At this moment, the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, which had been circling incessantly, stopped their movements in unison and drifted before Huo Yuhao.
They began to circle Huo Yuhao excitedly, conveying a sense of intimacy and filial devotion.
As a low dragon roar escaped Huo Yuhao's lips, the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings resonated with a dragon roar of their own.
The golden light from the Eye of Destiny on Huo Yuhao's forehead grew increasingly brilliant. As the golden light shone upon the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, they began to shrink under its radiance, eventually transforming into two fist-sized Dragon Core, one white and one red.
As the golden light receded, these two Dragon Core finally submerged into Huo Yuhao's body.
