Icefire Yin Yang Well (Please Keep Reading!)

The devouring power of a single skill was actually even stronger than the devouring ability of her Sinful Blue Silver Grass itself.

The Original Sin Demon Puppet martial soul possessed so many abilities that it was simply unimaginable.

Controlling emotions, eroding the mind, extracting original sins, forging contracts, and now, an almost tyrannical form of devouring.

Was he really still human? Not only was his martial soul absurdly powerful, and his physical strength equally monstrous, but even his weekly output was astonishingly abundant—unceasing by day, relentless by night, continuously tormenting her.

Seeing this, Long Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes as well. To be honest, he did not know much about the soul skills of his son's other martial soul, because Long Wushang rarely used it outside.

With his cultivation, he could naturally tell that this devouring power was of an extremely high level.

If used against a soul master, someone with insufficient cultivation would likely have even their martial soul forcibly extracted.

Even more alarming was that the range of that black vortex was still expanding. It seemed to have no limit, tugging at vast quantities of Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flowers with its suction.

Their stems bent violently, the soil around their roots continuously cracked, and several dozen poisonous flowers on the outermost edge were the first to tear free of the ground, flying toward the vortex with great masses of roots still attached.

Soon after, even more Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flowers were uprooted.

Dense poisonous gas erupted from the flowers' stamens, attempting to resist the vortex's pull, but the instant it left the petals, it was sucked into the depths of darkness.

"Wushang, don't force yourself to devour them. Do what you can. If we can't do it today, we can prepare and come back another time. It won't be too late."

As Long Xiaoyao watched his son endlessly devour that enormous amount of toxic gas, it was impossible for him not to be worried.

With so much poisonous gas and poisonous grass accumulated together, even an Ultimate Douluo could not withstand it, could they?

Long Wushang did not answer him. He simply continued consuming the remaining toxic miasma.

Sweat had already seeped from his forehead. Clearly, using this move was not without pressure for him.

Swallow Heaven and Earth was indeed powerful, but this skill was far from as invincible as it appeared.

If he could truly devour without limit, wouldn't the Gluttony God have become invincible long ago?

He should have swallowed the entire God Realm, even the entire universe. With such terrifying devouring power, he would have been a top-tier evil god. How could he possibly have been merely a first-class god?

The reason was simple. Devouring was easy, but refining was the truly fatal part.

The more mixed the power, the harsher the backlash. Poison, soul power, spiritual power, life force—any energy exceeding one's capacity would become a death sentence.

When Long Wushang had undergone the Gluttony Original Sin Divine Trial, he had suffered greatly in this regard. Back then, he lacked experience. Among the six trials of original sin, Lust was the only one he passed in a single attempt. He took the Gluttony trial alone three times.

He still remembered the first trial. He had devoured too much, wanting to complete the task faster, only to nearly burst apart from the chaotic energies.

During the second trial, he was still controlled by his gluttonous desires. Even knowing he could not refine it, he had refused to stop.

Only on the third attempt—whether the divine trial went easy on him or something—did he suddenly understand the core of the original sin of gluttony and pass the trial.

Gluttony God: I didn't go easy on you. (Sighs, turns away, spreads hands.)

Gluttony was not mindlessly eating. It was always wanting to eat, never being satisfied. He had to understand what he could swallow and what could only be kept in his mouth temporarily.

So, he had no intention of refining these toxins at all.

Refining this stuff alone would take an enormous amount of effort, and whether there would be other consequences was still unknown.

Rather than waste time on that, he would rather eat a few more immortal herbs from the yin-yang hotpot.

The toxic miasma and Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flowers swallowed by the black vortex did not enter Long Wushang's meridians. Instead, they were all sent into the Original Sin Demon Puppet, where they were temporarily sealed by the Gluttony Divine Ring.

This method was closer to temporary storage.

Though the consumption was considerable, it would not allow the deadly poison to erupt within his body.

Long Wushang controlled the dark vortex as it slowly moved forward. Everywhere it passed, the dense toxic miasma filling the valley entrance seemed to encounter its natural enemy, wildly devoured and drawn away.

Very soon, the entrance to the valley, once concealed by endless poisonous fog, gradually revealed its true appearance.

"What are you standing around for? Move, move! Get inside!"

Long Wushang shouted low. Without the slightest hesitation, he was the first to turn into a streak of black light and charge toward a hidden stone cavern deep within the valley.

Long Xiaoyao and Tang Ya did not dare delay either and hurried after him.

The instant the three passed through the region shrouded in toxic miasma, Long Wushang immediately stopped circulating his soul power and released all the terrifying poisonous gas he had previously absorbed into the dark vortex.

In an instant, the miasma that had been cleared away surged back up, once more becoming a natural barrier that sealed off the valley entrance.

Only after finishing all this did Long Wushang let out a breath of relief. They were finally in. It seemed he really needed to find a way to improve his poison resistance. Poison was truly something to be wary of.

He finally had the time and energy to inspect his surroundings, and he quickly noticed something unusual.

Not far ahead, streams of scorching and warm air intertwined as they continuously surged up from deep underground, as though some supreme treasure of heaven and earth was being nurtured below.

At the sight, delight immediately flashed through Long Wushang's eyes.

"This is the place!"

"The Icefire Yin Yang Well should be down below."

As soon as he spoke, he did not linger. Together with Long Xiaoyao, the three quickly descended through the cave leading underground.

As the three continued deeper, they soon sensed how drastically different the changes in heaven and earth here were from those outside.

Heaven and earth essence so dense it was nearly tangible filled every corner of the valley.

Immense life energy nourished the entire space, allowing countless rare treasures and exotic herbs seldom seen outside to grow here.

Quite a few plants had even developed faint spiritual intelligence after being nurtured for countless years.

Instinctively, they protected this treasured land that had given birth to them, treating every intruder as an enemy.

Just as the three continued deeper, the surrounding rock walls suddenly began to shake violently.

The next moment, dozens of incomparably thick vines burst from the ground in all directions. Accompanied by sharp whistling through the air, they lashed viciously toward the three.

Each vine contained considerable power, but to Long Xiaoyao, an Ultimate Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the soul master world, such an attack was not worth mentioning.

His expression remained calm. He did not even release his martial soul, merely raising his right hand and giving a light wave forward. An invisible, terrifying force instantly swept out.

The menacing vines shattered inch by inch the instant they touched that force, turning into fragments that scattered across the ground.

After dealing with the outermost threat, the three continued onward.

Only after passing through the final stretch of passage did they finally reach the true core of this mysterious valley.

The sight before them made all three hold their breath involuntarily.

It was an immortal paradise that seemed forged from the essence of heaven and earth.

The valley itself was not especially vast, yet it was filled with countless rare plants. Exotic flowers and herbs of every color complemented one another, exuding dense life energy.

As far as the eye could see, nearly every plant was brimming with extraordinary spirituality.

Some medicinal herbs emitted a faint glow, while certain fruits were as crystalline and translucent as gemstones, as though they had only grown into their present forms after being nurtured by heaven and earth through countless ages.
