"It really is the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one of the three great treasure lands!"
In the Sunset Forest, atop a towering mountain, a young boy stood gazing into the distance at the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his eyes gleaming with an eerie purple light.
This is Tang San, the Heavenly Mandate protagonist of the Douluo Continent!
Nearly fifteen years have passed since Tang San was born, and he has grown from an infant into the heroic young man he is today.
Why would I, an old man, deceive a junior like you?
Standing beside Tang San, Dugu Bo's expression was grim. He glanced warily in the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and impatiently urged, "Alright, no matter how much you look, you can't take that treasure land back. Even Titled Douluo like myself can't withstand the sword energy of that vicious herb. You should just give up on that idea!"
That's right, Dugu Bo has already cultivated to the level of Titled Douluo. Moreover, because he obtained the new Body Refinement created by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, his strength and potential are even stronger than in his original destiny trajectory.
Even so, he had absolutely no way to deal with that vicious plant.
After his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he recovered from his injuries and invited several friends over to fight, offering them the precious medicinal herbs from the treasure land as payment.
But who would have thought that the malevolent plant not only grew larger, but also sprouted a fourth leaf, increasing its strength by dozens or even hundreds of times.
Then tragedy struck: all his invited friends perished, becoming nourishment for that malevolent weed.
If he hadn't been extremely familiar with the terrain and environment of this area, and hadn't possessed decent speed and agility, he probably would have been finished long ago.
He tried a few more times, but the result remained the same.
Even after breaking through to the Titled Douluo level, there was still nothing he could do.
That malevolent herb was growing far too fast. If its growth rate was one, then its growth rate was at least ten thousand.
There's simply no comparison!
Now he doesn't even dare to approach within a hundred miles of that malevolent herb. Once he crosses that line, he will be killed by a sword aura from that herb from afar.
That's right, it was a sword aura.
When he first encountered that malevolent herb, he could barely withstand its physical sword leaves. But as early as the second year after losing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could no longer even withstand its sword energy.
The gap between the two sides was widening, and he had long since given up the idea of reclaiming that precious land.
If it weren't for his granddaughter Yanyan's careless remarks, which she had casually mentioned to this Little Monster, he wouldn't have bothered bringing the Little Monster to see this place!
"Can't my grandpa and my dad come too?!"
Tang San was still very unwilling. If he could obtain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, along with the Duobao medicines inside, his strength would not only increase significantly, but he would also lay a more solid foundation and be able to train his subordinates.
So he really didn't want to give up that precious land.
Furthermore, his father and grandfather were both among the strongest figures in the world, especially his father, whose strength was terrifying and who was revered as the strongest person on the continent.
He is many times stronger than the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and should have a chance to kill that vicious herb and seize that treasure land.
Do you remember the hideous scar on your father's chest?
Dugu Bo did not answer Tang San, but instead asked a very strange question.
"Are you saying that the scar on my father's chest was caused by that wicked herb?"
Tang San's purple pupils contracted sharply, and he turned pale with horror.
He vividly remembered that his father had a hideous scar on his chest that ran through his entire body, almost severing him in two.
He had asked his father how he got that scar, but his father never answered. He still clearly remembered the deep fear in his father's eyes at that time.
Clearly, it was left by an extremely powerful opponent, someone even the father couldn't defeat.
He never expected that the plant that had so severely injured his father would be a vicious herb!
"Back then, I revealed what happened here to the Heaven Dou Empire, and Heaven Dou Empire invited many powerful experts at the Titled Douluo level to this place, including your father."
That battle wasn't exactly brutal, because it was a one-sided massacre. All the veteran Titled Douluo were harvested and killed by the ferocious sword energy like weeds.
Even your father, Clear Sky Douluo, only managed to withstand a single sword strike from that malevolent herb, risking having his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul almost severed to save his life.
As he recounted that battle, Dugu Bo's emerald eyes were filled with apprehension and fear.
That vicious plant was truly horrific!
He even doubted whether that monstrous genius from the Clear Sky Sect back then could defeat that thing, which was far beyond the limits of human imagination.
"Sigh! Let's go then!"
Despite his reluctance, Tang San wisely chose to give up.
The two quickly retreated, but before they could even leave the forest, a blazing pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky, and even though they were tens of thousands of miles away, they could feel the heat wave hitting them.
"That's... the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"
Leaping onto a treetop, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye to observe the location where the distant pillar of light had landed. He quickly determined that it was the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"It's finally here!"
Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Wang Hao used a sword leaf to block the scorching beam of light descending from the sky, realizing that the mastermind behind the scenes had finally made its move again.
It arrived a little later than he had expected.
A year ago, he had already raised his cultivation level to the limit that this Swordleaf Grass could reach. However, due to a slight flaw in his foundation, he was unable to reach the Great Firmament Realm and was now only at the Peak of the Taiyi Realm. He also failed to condense the Grand Unity Dao Fruit again.
For the past year, she had been waiting for the mastermind to make another move, and thankfully, the mastermind finally arrived.
"You guys keep an eye on the house, I'll be back!"
Transplanting the symbiotic Blue Silver Grass from his body to the shore, Wang Hao called out to the nascent spiritual herbs on the surrounding shore, then withdrew his roots from the spring and rode the thousand-foot-tall Swordleaf Grass into Space.
The enemy comes from Space, is not a native species of Douluo Star, and possesses large-scale destructive capabilities.
Therefore, he had to move the battlefield to Space; otherwise, if the war were to break out here, not only would the Duobao medicines in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well be affected, but the entire Douluo Star might also explode.
After all, at his level, even with the suppression of the universe, destroying a planet is still very simple.
"Holy crap! What the hell is this?"
Upon reaching Space and sweeping it with his Power of Primordial Spirit, even Wang Hao, with his composure, couldn't help but swear.
He saw countless spaceships densely packed in Space; their high-tech style almost made him think he had returned to the Super God Universe.
This art style is completely different from that of the Douluo Continent.
Although the later stages of Douluo will see a significant development in science, with mechs and fighter jets becoming commonplace, we're still only in the Douluo I era.
Is it really okay to just build so many high-tech warships?
Now, the entire area within a light-year radius is crammed with interstellar warships of various shapes, completely surrounding the star system where Douluo Star is located.
And judging from this posture, it's clear they intend to destroy Douluo Star as well.
Protecting Douluo Star while simultaneously annihilating the enemy is no easy task!
Although it was very difficult, Wang Hao still expanded himself infinitely, enveloping the entire star system within it. His massive roots protected the entire star system, preventing it from being destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle.
As a Ruthless doesn't talk much, Wang Hao didn't even bother to say anything before starting the fight. Nine sword leaves crisscrossed and raged, spreading out countless sword energies to attack the surrounding interstellar warship fleet.
However, this enemy was no pushover either. Its technological capabilities were in no way inferior to those of the later stages of the Super God Universe, and it actually fought Wang Hao to a standstill, even gaining a slight advantage.
"We really have to fight with our lives on the line!"
Realizing that he was likely to lose if things continued this way, Wang Hao decisively burned his own source energy, temporarily raising his combat power to the Great Luo level.
The power of Great Luo level cultivator is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the warship group that had initially held a slight advantage immediately suffered heavy losses.
The war fortress, comparable to a planet, was sliced through like paper by Wang Hao's sword energy. Its various energy defense shields and its own hard material made it difficult for the sword energy to stop for even a millisecond.
That wasn't all. Wang Hao, still feeling the speed wasn't fast enough, completely separated the nine sword leaves, transforming them into nine Tongtian swords that reached the heavens, arranging them into a profound sword formation to unleash the attack.
The surging, vast sword energy swept out like a tsunami, shattering the space in its path.
" Little Monster, you seem to have a special connection with this place!"
While Wang Hao was engaged in a fierce battle in Space, Dugu Bo secretly led Tang San back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Only after confirming that the Nineleaf Sword Grass that Wang Hao had parasitized had truly left the opening did he feel safe enough to enter.
They initially thought the protective shield surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would be difficult to deal with, but unexpectedly, the shield seemed to recognize people. When Tang San revealed his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, it actually opened an opening on its own, allowing them to enter.
Tang San remained silent, for he did not know what was going on either, but his eyes were fixed on the Blue Silver Grass on the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He sensed a strange call within that Blue Silver Grass, which was quite eerie.
"This precious land has indeed been ruined by that malevolent herb!"
Dugu Bo walked up to the spring and looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Spring, which had returned to normal water, and cursed angrily.
Indeed, Wang Hao had long since devoured all the remaining energy of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings at the bottom of the spring. Without the diluted divine power emanating from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, this treasure land naturally could not be sustained.
" Little Monster, hurry up and make your move, or you'll miss your chance once that vicious herb returns!"
With a curse, Dugu Bo decisively tossed Tang San Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse capable of holding living creatures, then quickly devoured the precious herbs himself.
After regaining his senses, Tang San was quick as well, and he also began to dig out the Duobao herbs here.
Unlike the original course of fate, this time, because this precious land had been destroyed, and given the infamous reputation of the Nineleaf Sword Grass that Wang Hao had parasitized, Tang San directly dug up all these precious herbs, roots and all.
The two moved quickly, finishing their looting in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After a final hesitation, Tang San also dug up the Blue Silver Grass that had given him a strange feeling, roots and all.
And so, the two, having reaped a great harvest, decisively retreated. Dugu Bo grabbed Tang San by the back of his collar and, at full speed, desperately fled towards the edge of Sunset Forest.
That's right, it's about escaping!
He didn't know when the malevolent plant would return, so the only way to save his life was to get away from the area as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if they were targeted by that malevolent herb, with their Little Monster bodies, they would definitely be doomed.
At this point, you have to run like your life depends on it!
