Dugu Bo stared at everything before him.

The ground beneath Ye Ling had been blasted by the thunder into a huge pit over ten meters long and dozens of meters deep.

Yet Ye Ling himself still hovered cross-legged in midair where he had been.

Under that terrifying might of heaven and earth just now, not even the hem of his clothes had been dirtied in the slightest.

From time to time, streaks of Black Lightning roamed across his body, and as his long hair fluttered in the wind, he looked like a celestial being.

The second soul ring behind him had completely turned pitch-black, and like his First Soul Ring, an extra base edge had appeared along its rim, except this one was purple.

"Ancestral Witch Contemplation Record..."

Ye Ling did not open his eyes. His entire consciousness had sunk into a strange space.

Is this my Sea of Consciousness?

In the chaotic void, Ye Ling looked at the four colossal demon-god statues before him that seemed to connect heaven and earth, and shock welled up in his heart.

The first was like a yellow sack, red as cinnabar fire, with six legs and four wings, faceless and chaotic, its entire body covered in red scales.

The second had eight heads with human faces, a tiger's body, ten tails, a blue-yellow color, and spat clouds and mist.

The third had a tiger's head and a human body, four hooves and long elbows, snakes in its mouth and hands, and yellow scales draped over its body.

The fourth had a human face and a bird's body, blue snakes hanging from its ears, and red snakes in its hands.

These four ancestral witch statues stood in the four directions of Ye Ling's Sea of Consciousness. They were precisely the ancestral witches represented by the four main elements within the two soul rings he had absorbed.

Endless chaotic qi hung down from the ancestral witch statues, tempering and expanding Ye Ling's Sea of Consciousness every moment.

"From the looks of it, this cultivation method should circulate on its own, and these four ancestral witch statues that have already appeared will also help temper my Spiritual Power."

Ye Ling nodded, quite satisfied.

Every time he overfulfilled a soul ring absorption mission, he always received the reward most suited to him.

"Young Pavilion Master? Young Pavilion Master?"

The anxious voice by his ear made Ye Ling suddenly open his eyes.

Brilliant lightning flashed through his eyes, startling Dugu Bo, who was observing him from the side.

"Young Pavilion Master, are you all right?"

Seeing Ye Ling open his eyes, Dugu Bo hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine. Or rather, I've never felt this good before."

Ye Ling spread his hands, and a wisp of pitch-black thunder flickered ceaselessly in his palm.

"This is..."

Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed slightly. From this thunder, he sensed an extreme intent of destruction.

It was far beyond anything a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could compare to. Even he, a Titled Douluo, felt a kind of instinctive dread.

"Young Pavilion Master, this is..."

Dugu Bo swallowed and asked, somewhat frightened.

"This is my Second Soul Skill."

Ye Ling smiled.

This lightning was the ultimate thunder born after the soul ring absorbed the Law Power of the Ancestral Witch of Thunder Qiangliang and the Ancestral Witch of Lightning Xizi.

Because the attributes of thunder and lightning were highly compatible, this soul ring had not granted him any specific soul skill, but had instead given him the power to control thunder and lightning.

However, he did not explain much.

Only when his gaze swept over Dugu Yan, who was still frowning in Dugu Bo's arms, did he hesitate slightly.

After pondering for a moment, under Dugu Bo's somewhat strange gaze, he reached out and tapped Dugu Yan on the forehead.

Pure life force poured into Dugu Yan's body, and in just a few breaths, Dugu Yan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"Many thanks, Young Pavilion Master."

Dugu Bo thanked Ye Ling gratefully.

"Judging by today, it's no longer suitable to help Miss Yan hunt for a soul ring."

Ye Ling waved his hand and said to Dugu Bo.

"Indeed."

Dugu Bo nodded repeatedly.

"I'll first send you to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Young Pavilion Master, then take Yanyan back home to settle her."

Since the two had already reached an understanding, they did not stay there any longer.

As for the mutated Thunder Lizard's corpse, it had long since been reduced to ash by the thunder just now, and naturally, no soul bone had dropped either.

Ding, system mission triggered: Infiltrate the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Bottom and obtain the Ice and Fire Dragon King's Legacy! Reward: External Soul Bone Eye of the Candle Dragon

Almost the instant he stepped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the system's mechanical voice rang out in Ye Ling's mind.

Ye Ling's footsteps paused slightly. He truly could not understand why a mission would be triggered at this time.

Logically speaking, if there really was some Ice and Fire Dragon King's Legacy beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

then it should have triggered the first time he came to this place.

But why had it only triggered now?

Could it be because he had gained another soul ring and his strength had improved?

"Young Pavilion Master, what's wrong?"

Noticing Ye Ling's halted steps, Dugu Bo asked in some confusion.

"Nothing. I just remembered something."

Ye Ling said casually.

"Senior Dugu, you should take Miss Yan back to Heaven Dou City first."

After a pause, Ye Ling added, "Remember, for the time being, do not expose your identity or our Mending Heaven Pavilion's identity."

Dugu Bo was a chess piece with unusual uses. There was no need to expose him before the world.

"Yes."

Dugu Bo nodded, then, under Ye Ling's gaze, carried Dugu Yan away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"The Burial Ground of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings? Obtain the Ice and Fire Dragon King's Legacy?"

Ye Ling rubbed his chin and turned to look at the two Immortal Herbs growing beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot!

After taking these two Immortal Herbs and then jumping into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one could cultivate the so-called body of Water and Fire Immunity and Poison Immunity.

However, directly swallowing the two Immortal Herbs had far too low a utilization rate.

Moreover, the so-called Water and Fire Immunity and Poison Immunity had a lot of exaggeration to it.

Otherwise, with Tang San's kind of personality—plucking every feather from every passing goose, selfish and self-serving—he would have long since dived into the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Original Work and taken the Ice and Fire Dragon King's Legacy.

So it was highly likely that even if one directly swallowed the two Immortal Herbs, one still might not be able to dive into the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Shennong's Materia Medica seems to have pills that use these two Immortal Herbs as the main ingredients as well, but refining them is extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Ling shook his head.

"Forget it. I'll follow the original plan first."

"In any case, if there really is something inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it won't grow wings and fly away."

As he thought this, Xuan Ziwen walked over to his side.

"Young Pavilion Master."

Xuan Ziwen bowed slightly to Ye Ling, then spoke first before Ye Ling could say anything.

"I have now completed the task you assigned."

"Taking into account the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's characteristics and the need for convenient production, I have already designed a full set of Soul Tools, all at rank four."

"That fast?"

Ye Ling's eyes widened. Xuan Ziwen truly was worthy of being a fanatical Soul Tool expert.

It had only been a few days, yet he had already designed an entire set of Soul Tools.

"However, rare metals are extremely uncommon on Douluo Continent. Otherwise, I could have designed more suitable Soul Tools."

Xuan Ziwen sighed with some regret.

"No matter. Although Douluo Continent lacks rare metals, it does not lack good blacksmiths."

Ye Ling's expression was relaxed.

In the era of Douluo Three, it was possible to bestow all kinds of properties onto metals through forging methods.

If he summoned some Divine Craftsman one day, then even battle armor might become reality.

"Teacher Xuan, tomorrow, bring the Soul Tools you've developed and come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Yes, Young Pavilion Master!"

Xuan Ziwen bowed slightly.
