The Serpent Becomes a Dragon, a Life Remade
Upon hearing Li Xun's agreement, Tang San no longer hesitated. He took out the jade box he had prepared beforehand and carefully stepped forward, relying on the techniques recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
With gentle movements, he avoided the vital points of the Immortal Herb Source, precisely picking the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot intact and storing them in the jade box.
Two completely opposite terrifying auras were subtly clashing within the jade box, with cold air and heat waves overflowing alternately.
Tang San presented the jade box to Li Xun, saying, "Brother Xun, now, consume both Immortal Herb together. Remember, the moment the medicinal effects erupt, immediately circulate all your internal energy Soul Power to suppress and harmonize them. Do not resist the medicinal effects; guide the two forces to merge within your body."
Li Xun took the jade box and looked down at the two peerless immortal Immortal Herb inside, one of ice and one of fire.
Without further hesitation, he reached out and took out the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, putting them into his mouth together.
The moment it entered the mouth, a bone-chilling cold and a heart-burning Lie Yan exploded simultaneously. Two violent forces, one yin and one yang, like two Ferocious Beast breaking free of their shackles, swept through the throat and swept through the limbs and bones in an instant.
The biting cold almost froze his blood, but the next second, the scorching heat wave frantically burned his meridians. The alternating hot and cold tore at his flesh, and the excruciating pain instantly swept through his body. Li Xun's forehead was instantly covered with a dense layer of cold sweat, and his jaw was clenched tightly.
"Quick! Jump into the spring!" Tang San shouted.
Despite the excruciating torment tearing at his body, Li Xun leaped forward with all his might, plunging straight into the spring at the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the powers of ice and fire merged.
Whoosh!
The hot and cold spring water instantly engulfed him.
The water and fire essence that had been accumulating deep within the spring for millions of years immediately responded to the medicinal properties of the Immortal Herb and surged wildly into Li Xun's body.
The power of the cold spring and the hot spring repeatedly washed over his bones, flesh, and meridians. His flesh seemed to be constantly being torn apart, yet constantly regenerated and reshaped under the power of the source.
Large plumes of white mist rose continuously from the water's surface.
Tang Hao and Tang San stood on the shore, their eyes fixed on the figure in the spring, their expressions solemn, ready to rescue at any moment.
The spring water surged and churned, the essence of ice and fire constantly washing and reshaping Li Xun's body underwater, and the surface of the water was occasionally rippled by the violent power surging within him.
On the shore, Tang San looked at Li Xun, who was floating in the spring, and knew that tempering the body with water and fire was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It would take a lot of time to fully digest the medicinal properties of the two treasures.
He turned to Tang Hao beside him and said solemnly, "Father, it will probably take Brother Xun a long time to refine the Immortal Herb here. I also plan to take this opportunity to start refining my own Immortal Herb. I would be grateful if you could protect us both."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao laughed heartily. Although the Clear Sky Hammer did not appear, an Pressure, as powerful as a mountain, quietly spread out, enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Valley.
His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings, his confidence unwavering. "You can focus on refining them without any worries. With me here, neither humans nor Soul Beast will be able to disturb or harm you in the slightest."
Thank you, Father.
Tang San nodded solemnly and said no more. With a flick of his wrist, his Storage Soul Tool flashed, and he took out the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that he had previously stored away.
The two Immortal Herb shimmered with spiritual light, and their pure medicinal power wafted towards us.
Tang San sat cross-legged on the open ground by the spring, adjusted his breathing, and slowly circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill throughout his body.
He first put the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew" into his eyes, and the pure spiritual medicinal power immediately spread out, nourishing and expanding his Sea of Consciousness. He then took the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum," and the powerful and balanced medicinal power flowed through his limbs and bones, refining his meridians and the Martial Soul Origin.
The two medicinal properties, one gentle and one strong, slowly merged under the guidance of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, continuously transforming Tang San's physical body and mental strength.
For a time, a strange scene unfolded within the valley.
In the center of the spring, Li Xun was immersed in the icy and fiery spring water, enduring a life-or-death physical tempering. On the flat ground by the shore, Tang San sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, calmly absorbing the power of the two Immortal Herb.
Tang Hao stood with his hands behind his back, towering in front of the two. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his powerful Soul Power kept him alert to all directions, firmly protecting the two young men who were undergoing a great transformation.
Time flows like water, from dawn to dusk, it's just a cycle of sunrise and sunset, day and night.
As people often say, a day passes in the blink of an eye. A lifetime is settled in the blink of an eye. Time in this world is always the fairest thing. It seems long and endless, but in retrospect, it is gone in an instant. A hundred years of life is mostly gone in this blink of an eye.
In the valley Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, no one disturbs the peace, and time flows quietly.
A whole day has quietly passed.
As the morning light faded, night slowly enveloped the entire Sunset Forest. A sky full of stars fell, their gentle light spilling into the valley, coating the icy, fiery mist with a soft, shimmering glow.
For a full twelve hours, the two figures in the spring and on the shore remained completely still.
Tang Hao stood with his hands behind his back, not moving an inch all day. The Pressure of his Titled Douluo steadily enveloped the surroundings, isolating the forest from all sounds of wind and beasts, thus protecting the most stable cultivation environment for the two of them.
He gazed calmly at the two figures, his heart filled with emotion. Such an extraordinary opportunity was a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.
Just then, the Seclusion Cave Abode deep in the valley suddenly trembled violently!
Buzz--
A powerful, domineering dark green Soul Power, far exceeding anything seen before, surged into the sky, completely breaking through the shackles of the cave and sweeping across the entire Ice and Fire Valley.
Unlike the previous cold, eerie, and corrosive phosphorus poison, this power was majestic and vast, carrying with it a powerful dragon's might, exuding nobility amidst its violence.
The stone gate to the cave suddenly opened, and a tall, slender old man slowly walked out.
It was none other than Dugu Bo had been in seclusion for a whole day!
At this moment, he had long since shed his former sickly and withered appearance. His once dry and wrinkled skin had become firm and moisturized, and his once green hair had turned black. His entire demeanor had been completely transformed, with no trace of his former aloofness and malice. Instead, he exuded the domineering majesty of a dragon emperor looking down upon all living beings.
He slowly raised his palm, and dark green Soul Power surged in his palm, from which a huge phantom, with a body entirely green, clear scales, and dragon horns on its head, spiraled out.
No longer in the coiled position of a snake, but with two horns on its head, a stretched-out dragon body, sharp claws and teeth, and a majestic and awe-inspiring presence in the opening and closing of its eyes!
It is the Martial Soul — Jade Phosphorous Dragon Emperor!
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, passed down for ten thousand years by the Dugu, has today completely broken free from the shackles of its bloodline and overcome generational flaws, completing its ultimate evolution!
As his Martial Soul underwent a complete transformation, a vast, ocean-like surge of Soul Power exploded from his body, shattering his realm barrier and causing his Soul Ring to rise from beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
The nine Soul Ring pulsed rhythmically, their halos dazzling and their Soul Power power profound and robust, firmly holding at level ninety-two!
More importantly, the backlash from the deadly poison that Entanglement into his Martial Soul spirit and bloodline completely dissipated.
At this moment, the Jade Phosphorous Dragon Emperor Poison within his body was extremely pure, harming others without harming himself, posing no further hidden dangers, and the upper limit of his Martial Soul was infinitely increased.
Dugu Bo raised his hand, feeling the unprecedented surge of power within his body. He clenched his fist slightly, and the pent-up frustration in his chest dissipated completely. He couldn't help but tilt his head back and let out a hearty laugh.
Laughter echoed through the valley, startling the night birds in the forest into flight.
"It's done! It really is done!"
Dugu Bo's eyes burned with ecstasy, his heart overflowing with joy.
The family's flaws were eradicated in one fell swoop, the snake evolved into a dragon, its cultivation broke through, it underwent a complete transformation, and was reborn!
