Stillness.
Qian Renxue moved without the slightest warning, leaving the others no time to stop her. By the time she leaped into the spring, it was already too late to intervene.
They stared blankly at the churning water, sensing the terrifying power of ice and fire within it. Qian Jun and Jiang Mo were both dumbfounded!
She jumped in!
She jumped in!
She jumped in!
Xiao Xue jumped in!
"Fuck! Jiang Mo! How the hell were you watching her?! You couldn't even keep an eye on a Soul Elder and just let the young mistress jump in?! Is your brain full of water?!"
Seeing the Ice-Fire Spring without even a splash, Qian Jun flew into a rage and roared at Jiang Mo!
He never should have—never should have let Jiang Mo watch her!
Damn it!
A level ninety-five Titled Douluo!
He couldn't even keep watch over a Soul Elder! What was the point of all that strength? Had he cultivated Soul Power for all those years for nothing?!
If Qian Renxue had not left behind a sentence before jumping in, Qian Jun would have wanted nothing more than to rush over and slaughter Jiang Mo right now—even if they were blood brothers!
Jiang Mo remained unmoved by Qian Jun's fury. He was still dazed, unable to understand something.
With his level ninety-five Soul Power, how had Qian Renxue, a tiny Soul Elder, managed to ignore him?
From the moment Qian Renxue began speaking to the instant she jumped, the Soul Power protection Jiang Mo had set up had not reacted in the slightest.
That was not scientific.
No, it was not just Qian Renxue. That flower and that grass had also completely ignored his Soul Power.
Jiang Mo began to question his life. Was he really a level ninety-five Titled Douluo? Or was he merely an ordinary person without even a trace of Soul Power?
After remaining stunned for dozens of seconds, Jiang Mo finally came back to his senses. Looking at the furious Qian Jun, he could only say helplessly:
"Calm down. It's not that I didn't protect her. My Soul Power simply became completely ineffective on the young mistress. Before she jumped in, she directly ignored my Soul Power."
"And those two strange flowers and herbs were the same as the young mistress. They completely ignored the Soul Power I had set up."
What could he do when his Soul Power had become completely ineffective? He was confused too, all right?!
With that, Jiang Mo ignored the furious Qian Jun and looked at Dugu Bo. "Tell us, what is going on with that flower and that grass?"
"As the owner of this place, you should have seen them before, right?"
"..."
Dugu Bo had been trying hard to reduce his presence and was quietly backing away. When he saw Jiang Mo looking at him, he awkwardly stopped.
"Well... I don't know what they're called either. I only know that they grow on both sides of this Ice-Fire Spring. The flower is fire-attributed, while the grass is ice-attributed."
"A fire flower and an ice grass?"
Jiang Mo recalled the colors of that flower and grass, feeling rather intrigued. Were they rare treasures born alongside the Ice-Fire Spring?
He asked again, "Growing in such an environment, have you never considered picking them or studying them?"
"I did think of that before, but before I could even get within ten meters of them, their poison forced me back."
Dugu Bo cautiously glanced at the two of them. "Those two plants are not rare treasures. They are highly poisonous objects! Their poison is even deadlier than the poison in my body!"
"I don't know why they suddenly flew up or why they flew into your Saintess's body. I know nothing about them, and I cannot control that flower or grass."
Dugu Bo spoke with extreme caution, explaining the properties of the two poisonous plants while distancing himself from them, terrified that the two enraged level ninety-fives would tear him apart alive.
"..."
"..."
After hearing Dugu Bo's words, the anger on Qian Jun's face faded. He looked grimly at Jiang Mo. "Are you sure this is a fortunate encounter?"
"Just wait."
Jiang Mo sighed. Two highly poisonous objects and an Ice-Fire Spring that even Titled Douluo dared not enter deeply.
When the three were combined, they should produce some sort of wondrous reaction, right?
Lord Angel God would not harm the young mistress, would she?
But was this fortunate encounter... really guided by Lord Angel God?
He glanced around at the surrounding attributes. No matter how he looked at them, they did not seem to match Lord Angel God's characteristics.
Could it be... some Evil God?
Uh...
Deluded thoughts!
Be gone!
The one guiding the young mistress had to be Lord Angel God!
"With such dense ice and fire power, it should be able to conceal my aura."
After carefully testing it, Lu Chen raised the strength of this avatar to roughly that of a Rank Three God, then stopped.
He then looked at Qian Renxue, who had fallen asleep the moment she entered the spring. Watching the little figure curled up in a ball, he extended a finger and gently tapped her forehead.
"Absorb the power here properly. The more you absorb, the greater the help it will provide for what comes next!"
Qian Renxue's eyelids twitched slightly, as though she were saying that she had heard him.
Lu Chen smiled, injecting a stream of energy into Qian Renxue's body to ensure that the ice and fire power within her would not lose balance. Then, without hesitation, he dove downward.
One meter!
One hundred meters!
One thousand meters!
Ten thousand meters!
When he reached the depths beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a barrier shimmering with brilliant colors blocked his path.
Lu Chen smiled faintly. After reaching out and poking through the barrier, he swiftly slipped inside.
In an instant, an enormous cavern appeared before him. Within it, the world was divided into red and blue halves, with a massive dragon skeleton lying sprawled across the ground in each.
Even from afar, he could still sense the overwhelming pressure bearing down on him.
Though they had died long ago and their corpses lay exposed in the wilderness, their dragon might still remained!
"As expected."
A sharp gleam burst from Lu Chen's eyes. Nearly the entirety of Douluo Continent was under the control of him, the master of the Heavenly Dao, with only a handful of places beyond his control.
And the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was one of them!
He did not wish to touch the other places, because they either contained divine inheritances or had some dragon sleeping within them.
Only the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was different.
A place with neither a divine inheritance nor a powerful expert in slumber had actually escaped the control of him, the Heavenly Dao!
How could that be allowed?!
Two mere fallen Dragon Kings had dared to establish their own little kingdom right beneath the eyes of him, the great Heavenly Dao.
They simply did not know their place!
So, hand them over!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen spread his hand and grabbed toward the remains of the two Dragon Kings!
Roar!
The instant he acted, two Dragon Souls—one blue and one red—rose from the skeletons that had been dead for ages and roared at Lu Chen.
Boundless flames and snow that filled the sky surged toward Lu Chen under the control of the two Dragon Souls, arriving with tremendous force.
"Beasts!"
Lu Chen snorted coldly. "You're already dead, so lie down obediently! You still dare act recklessly before me, the Heavenly Dao? You're courting death!"
Crack! Crack!
With a thought, chains of laws emerged from the void and stabbed into the two Dragon Souls like spears.
Roar!
The two Dragon Souls let out mournful cries!
The authorities of flame and ice were gone!
After retrieving the two authorities, Lu Chen's eyes narrowed. Both hands shot out, gripping the two Dragon Souls by their throats.
Moments later, the two Dragon Souls lost their last bit of strength to struggle.
"Dead beasts, and you still dared to show your ferocity before me, the Heavenly Dao!"
A trace of disdain flashed through Lu Chen's eyes. He put away the Dragon Souls and dragon skeletons, vanishing from the spot in the blink of an eye and returning to the Heavenly Dao's residence.
Inside the flower garden.
After withdrawing his avatar, Lu Chen released the Dragon Souls and quietly examined them.
"Two Dragon Souls without consciousness. I wonder whether they can still be used."
Frowning, he waved his hand. Strands of energy invaded their bodies, ignoring the Dragon Souls' mournful cries as he branded them with his own mark.
After dealing with the two Dragon Souls, Lu Chen turned his gaze toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Once he confirmed that Qian Renxue was safe, he leisurely resumed sipping his tea.
