Taking and Eating

In the Douluo God Realm, a red figure watched gloomily as Qian Daoliu gripped two super divine artifacts.

At this moment, how could he not understand? It was highly probable that the Goddess of Life had likewise bestowed her inheritance upon Qian Daoliu's companion, Bo Saixi.

The red figure felt deep regret now; he should have obliterated Bo Saixi back then, rather than ending up in such a passive position.

Seeing the red figure so frustrated, the purple figure felt immensely gratified. He turned to the green figure and said, "Xiao Lu, this Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi are quite something. To have mastered our divine soul fusion skill—the Flower of Creation—so quickly, the younger generation is truly formidable!"

"Hahahaha!"

Just as the purple and green figures laughed heartily, the red figure sneered inwardly: "Destruction, Life, enjoy your laughter while you can. What does one failure amount to?"

"My ten-thousand-year scheme on the Douluo Continent is not something that can be broken just because you found two inheritors!"

Following this, the red figure secretly began transmitting his voice to a certain location on the Douluo Continent: "Father, Mother, Xiao Qi needs your help!"

"What! Who dares to harm my precious granddaughter!" A voice, equally overbearing, responded to the red figure.

"It is Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi!" the red figure replied to the domineering voice with a sinister tone.

"Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi? Didn't they die ten thousand years ago?"

"..."

"Understood! Leave it to me!"

At the location of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.

Tang Chen had just finished unleashing his Ring Detonation ultimate technique and no longer had the capital to continue battling the Limit Douluo, Qian Daoliu.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu looked down at Tang Chen from a position of superiority and said, "Tang Chen, in consideration of our past friendship, hand over the secret method of Ring Detonation!"

"I will let you leave this place!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen did not hesitate in the slightest and directly transmitted his voice to Qian Daoliu: "~~~"

Qian Daoliu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, instantly grasping the key to the Ring Detonation secret method.

Afterward, Qian Daoliu waved his hand and said to Bo Saixi inside the cave: "Xixi, let them go!"

Bo Saixi, hearing this, asked Qian Daoliu with some curiosity: "Qian Daoliu, why not take this opportunity to kill them?"

"Are you not afraid of letting a tiger return to the mountains?"

Qian Daoliu replied, "Xixi, firstly, it is because of our past friendship with Tang Chen!"

"As for the second reason? Since I could defeat Tang Chen once, I can defeat him a second time!"

"If I lack even this much determination to win, how could I ever reach the realm of the gods?"

Bo Saixi was moved by Qian Daoliu's heroic spirit; her beautiful eyes shifted, and she simply said, "Very well!"

Bo Saixi then released her suppression of Huo Yuhao and the others.

She allowed them to take Tang Chen and depart.

As Huo Yuhao and the others left with Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well cave and personally returned the Life Scepter to Bo Saixi.

Qian Daoliu handed the Life Scepter steadily into Bo Saixi's hands. A pale green divine light swirled around the scepter, and a gentle vitality spread outward.

The various immortal herbs in the cave that had already taken human form poked their heads out, their eyes burning with anticipation. The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb stepped forward slowly, bowed, and spoke with a tone that was both respectful and apprehensive: "My Lady, may I ask if the object in your hand is the Life Scepter, the super divine artifact left behind by the Goddess of Life?"

Bo Saixi exchanged a glance with Qian Daoliu upon hearing this.

Instead of taking back the Life Scepter immediately, she countered the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb directly: "You may call me Bo Saixi, and call him Qian Daoliu."

"What if it is, and what if it isn't?"

Hearing this, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb became somewhat anxious: "My Lady, to tell you the truth, if what you hold is indeed the Life Scepter!"

"Then all the immortal herbs here are willing to transform into your spirit rings to assist in your cultivation!"

Once finished, the other immortal herbs followed the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb in bowing toward Bo Saixi.

This left both Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi bewildered.

It was Qian Daoliu who spoke first: "Can you tell us the reason for your change of heart? Just a moment ago, when you heard Huo Yuhao and the others were going to take you away, you were all acting as if you would rather die!"

"Why are you all so eager to follow us now?"

The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb bowed deeply, his expression filled with extreme piety and respect, and slowly explained:

"My two Lords, you may not know this, but the Life Scepter is condensed from the origin of the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is the ancestral origin of all plant spirit beasts and immortal herbs. Every immortal herb, plant spirit beast, and plant-based spiritual entity is born with the mark of the Tree of Life imprinted within their origin."

"Previously, when Huo Yuhao's group intended to forcibly transplant us and sever the spiritual veins of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well where we have been rooted for ten thousand years, we naturally resisted with our lives."

"But you, who wield the Life Scepter, can connect to the laws of life in the God Realm and continuously bestow upon us the vitality of the life origin, helping us break through the cultivation bottlenecks that have long hindered us. For this, we are willing to sacrifice ourselves to become spirit rings, hoping only to follow you and obtain a transcendent opportunity."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi looked at each other, both feeling a surge of joy.

They knew the Life God King was powerful, but they had not realized just how powerful.

Finally, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi discussed: "Xixi, I just followed Huo Yuhao in reading the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and discovered that these immortal herbs can not only heal injuries but also help spirit masters improve their cultivation, refine their constitutions, and even evolve their martial spirits!"

"I think since they are willing to follow you, why don't we take their branches and leaves with us!"

"As for their roots, let them remain here to continue flourishing and growing!"

"Huo Yuhao was right about one thing: we must not drain the pond to catch the fish; we should leave some benefits for those who come after us."

Finally, Qian Daoliu added, "Bo Saixi, you must plead their case. Some of them will have to be transformed into soul rings for Ye Guyi and the others. I hope they can understand that. As for their soul spirits, they can be stored within the Life Scepter!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi responded with great approval, "Qian Daoliu, you are right. I will listen to you!"

"Let's do this: I will go and communicate with them!"

"I'll see if they are willing to accept our proposal!"

Just like that, Bo Saixi spoke with the various immortal herbs. All of them expressed with great excitement that they were willing to follow Bo Saixi away from this place, while also agreeing to leave behind a portion of their roots so that future generations might have the opportunity to encounter such fortune.

In the end, all the immortal herbs were willing to follow Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi.

Just as Bo Saixi was preparing to harvest the herbs and depart.

The Blazing Apricot Delicate spoke to her, "Lady Bo Saixi, Lord Qian Daoliu, please do not leave just yet!"

"This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a treasure trove. I suggest you consume me and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass first!"

"Then, enter into the depths of this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

"By doing so, you will acquire a portion of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's power!"

Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu were both stunned by these words.

Qian Daoliu could not help but curiously take out the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to look it up, and sure enough, it recorded the miraculous uses of these immortal herbs.

Consequently, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi stopped their departure, intending to consume the Blazing Apricot Delicate and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

However, a problem arose: there was only one of each herb, clearly enough for only one person.

As they stood there, deferring to one another because they could not satisfy both their needs, the Blazing Apricot Delicate spoke up: "My two Lords, there is no need to be troubled. This is the Blazing Glue I have condensed; its effects are the same as my main body!"

At the same time, an herb covered in frost approached them and said, "My two Lords, this is the Cold Marrow I have condensed; its effects are the same as my main body!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were overjoyed and said to the two herbs, "Thank you!"

Following the herbs' instructions, Qian Daoliu used the Destruction Scepter to absorb the Blazing Apricot Delicate and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass for his own use, simultaneously transforming the two herbs into his second and third soul rings.

The soul spirits of the Blazing Apricot Delicate and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass temporarily resided within Qian Daoliu's body, while their origin seeds were embedded by Bo Saixi onto the Life Scepter. Bo Saixi promised them that she would regularly channel life force into them to help them complete their transformation.

As for Bo Saixi, her process was much simpler; she directly consumed the Blazing Glue and the Cold Marrow.

Then, the two of them leaped together into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The scorching, fiery origin of the ice and fire intertwined with the biting, piercing cold water, surging endlessly to wash over their bodies and meridians.

The violent power of ice and fire coursed through their meridians, tempering their bones, purifying their soul power, and dissolving all shackles of cultivation.

Relying on the inclusive power of the Destruction Scepter, Qian Daoliu perfectly accepted the dual ultimate powers, merging the essence of the two immortal herb soul rings.

Bo Saixi, relying on the nourishment of the Life Scepter's origin, completely assimilated the power of the Blazing Glue and the Cold Marrow.

Complementing each other, the two absorbed the core essence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, successfully awakening the dual attributes of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice. Divine light of ice and fire swirled around them, and their combat power and aptitude skyrocketed once more.

"It is done!"

"Is this the power of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire?"

Qian Daoliu was the first to awaken from within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Feeling the marvelous power of ice and fire within his body, he could not help but let out a long roar.

Afterward, Qian Daoliu began to silently watch over Bo Saixi, who was by his side.

He waited for a long time, and eventually, another half-day passed.

This made him somewhat anxious, and he could not help but ask the Blazing Apricot Delicate and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass within him, "You two, will Bo Saixi be alright?"

The Blazing Apricot Delicate was also puzzled, but patiently replied, "Lord Qian Daoliu, this is the first time we have seen a situation like Lady Bo Saixi's!"

"Why don't you use your spiritual power to personally examine her body?"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to take action himself, using his god-level spiritual power to probe Bo Saixi's body.

He truly did not know until he looked, and what he saw startled him.

Qian Daoliu focused his mind, channeling his vast, boundless god-level spiritual power to gently probe into Bo Saixi's body, fearing that his sharp divine sense might disturb her.

In the next second, two faint yet incredibly vibrant and resilient life fluctuations suddenly appeared in his perception.

These belonged to the children of him and Bo Saixi; two delicate life embryos were resting safely within Bo Saixi's womb.

He clearly sensed that the embryos were relying on the natural placenta, greedily yet gently absorbing the pure ice and fire origin energy circulating through Bo Saixi's body.

The dual energy of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire slowly nourished the fetuses, tempering their innate foundations.

Sensing that the two small lives had stable, vigorous vitality and showed no signs of harm, the heart that had been hanging in Qian Daoliu's chest instantly settled. He let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with gentle warmth as he waited quietly by her side for Bo Saixi to awaken.

Finally, another half-day passed.

The energy within Bo Saixi's body finally calmed down.

Bo Saixi slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and the first thing she saw was the look of concern in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

"Xixi, you're awake!"

"Let's head out first!"

Hearing this, Bo Saixi gave a soft hum: "Alright!"

Subsequently, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi returned to the shore.

Following the plan they had laid out from the start, Qian Daoliu absorbed a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to serve as his fourth soul ring.

As for Bo Saixi, she chose the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and the Narcissus Jade Bone to serve as her second, third, and fourth soul rings.

With these three soul rings equipped, the Life Scepter mark on Bo Saixi's forehead shone even more brilliantly, and she gained a new soul skill—Life Space.

Bo Saixi transplanted the remaining immortal herbs and source seeds into it, while the spirits of the immortal herbs that had become her soul rings were constantly nourished by the life force within her, growing stronger by the day.

At the same time, following the requests of the various immortal herbs, Bo Saixi collected the energy bodies they had condensed over the years, similar to the "Blazing Glue" of the Blazing Apricot Delicate; these items would prove very useful to Qian Daoliu later on.

Just as Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi felt their journey had been completed perfectly, two familiar voices suddenly rang out in their ears.

"Qian Daoliu, the second trial of the Destruction God Trial is complete!"

"Reward: one God-bestowed soul ring, 10% Destruction affinity!"

"Destruction God Trial, third trial: assemble a full set of soul bones, with a minimum requirement of 50,000 years each!"

"Reward: one God-bestowed soul ring, 10% Destruction affinity! Soul bone age increased by 50,000 years!"

"Bo Saixi, the second trial of the Life God Trial is complete!"

"Reward: one God-bestowed soul ring, 10% Life affinity!"

"Life God Trial, third trial: assemble a full set of soul bones, with a minimum requirement of 50,000 years each!"

"Reward: one God-bestowed soul ring, 10% Life affinity! Soul bone age increased by 50,000 years!"

Faced with the sudden prompts from the God Trials, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi exchanged a glance, and he said to Bo Saixi with a wry smile: "Xixi, these two Lords really don't let us have a moment's rest, do they!"

"We just finished the soul ring trial, and now here comes the soul bone trial!"

Hearing this, Bo Saixi smiled slightly and said: "You, don't be so ungrateful!"

"The two God Kings are doing this for our own good!"

"You have to remember that our enemies are gods!"

"Can we afford not to work hard?"

"And for the sake of our children, we have to give it our all, don't we?"

As she spoke, Bo Saixi gently stroked her slightly protruding belly.

Mentioning the children, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but curiously step forward to stroke Bo Saixi's belly as well.

Just as Qian Daoliu placed his hand on Bo Saixi's belly, he couldn't help but tease her: "Xixi, do you know? It was these two little ones who were absorbing your ice and fire energy, which is why you wouldn't wake up!"

"Oh!"

At first, Bo Saixi didn't think much of it, as they were her own children.

But when it dawned on her: "What, two little ones!"

"Qian Daoliu, you aren't lying to me, are you? You mean I'm pregnant with twins!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu answered with absolute certainty: "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi was completely overcome with maternal love; she couldn't help but rub her belly continuously, whispering softly: "Babies, babies, grow up quickly, and don't fight inside Mommy's tummy, okay!"

"Hum!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Bo Saixi felt the response of two powerful little fists from inside her belly.

"Qian Daoliu, they moved!"
