Lin Yan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and a hint of nervousness.
Lin Yan walked to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, feeling the alternating impacts of extreme cold and extreme heat on his body.
If it weren't for his Soul Power reaching the peak of level 30, the improvement of his Martial Soul's life level, and the protection of the " Supreme Purity Breathing Technique," it would probably be difficult to even get close.
" The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot... Whether or not we can forge an unparalleled foundation depends on this one moment!"
Lin Yan's eyes hardened, and he no longer hesitated.
He first channeled his Soul Power to protect his hands, and with lightning speed, he rushed towards the side of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring and plucked the Eight -Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!
The instant he took it off, an indescribable chill spread up his arm, covering it with a thick layer of frost almost instantly. The biting cold penetrated his very soul, as if even his thoughts were about to be frozen!
He endured the almost unbearable pain, his feet never faltering, and rushed towards the blazing Yang Spring on the other side at top speed. Just before the Infernal Delicate Apricot was plucked, he stretched out his icy right hand and grabbed the Infernal Delicate Apricot with his left hand at the same time!
The moment his left hand touched the Infernal Delicate Apricot, a violent torrent of heat surged into his body like a volcanic eruption, colliding violently with the almost soul-freezing chill in his right arm!
"Puff--"
Ice and fire intertwined, the two extreme energies clashing and tearing wildly within his body. Lin Yan felt as if his internal organs were being repeatedly tormented between a furnace and an ice cellar. His meridians groaned in agony from the unbearable strain, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which was half frozen into ice crystals and half vaporized into blood mist while still in mid-air.
The immense pain almost instantly overwhelmed his consciousness.
But he knew he absolutely could not faint at this moment, and he absolutely could not stop!
With the powerful willpower honed by the " Supreme Purity Breathing Technique " and precise control over himself, Lin Yan, just as he lost his balance and was about to fall into the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well below, which was enough to instantly annihilate him, used his last bit of strength to stuff both Immortal Herb into his mouth at the same time!
The two Immortal Herb melted instantly in the mouth, so fast that there wasn't even time to chew them.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass transformed into an extreme, icy blue current, freezing blood and meridians wherever it passed; Infernal Delicate Apricot transformed into a golden-red Lie Yan of destruction, scorching everything wildly, as if to turn his body to ashes.
Immediately, Lin Yan leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Ice and fire, two completely opposite yet equally domineering energies, clashed and eroded each other in the most primal and intense way, using Lin Yan's body as the battlefield!
Half of his body was covered by a thick layer of blue ice, radiating a chilling aura, while the other half was crimson red, like a red-hot iron, even emitting wisps Sisi white smoke. At the boundary between the ice layer and the crimson area, muscles and tendons twisted and bulged, emitting a teeth-grinding "hissing" sound.
An unprecedented pain surged through Lin Yan's nerves like waves, a thousand times more intense than when he absorbed the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma! This was not just physical pain, but an extreme torment stemming from a conflict of energy sources, as if his very soul was being torn apart.
He felt that his body might completely collapse at any moment under the conflict of these two forces, exploding into countless ice shards and ashes!
"Don't give up! Taiqing Breathing Exercise, circulate it!"
Lin Yan held fast to the last vestige of clarity in his mind and frantically began circulating the " Supreme Purity Breathing Technique ".
This profound cultivation technique, obtained from a previous life, now displays its extraordinary power, far surpassing ordinary meditation methods in the Douluo Continent.
Once the technique was activated, it did not attempt to forcibly suppress or harmonize the ice and fire power—that would be futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Instead, it guided Lin Yan's Soul Power and spiritual power with a mysterious rhythm, constructing a complex and precise cyclical system within his body.
This cyclical system, like an invisible millstone or a giant vortex, does not directly confront the power of ice and fire, but rather absorbs and draws in their violent and conflicting energies Sisi, and then, in a unique way, carries out a strange "grinding" and "transformation".
Ice and fire are mutually exclusive, yet they can also give rise to each other. In the midst of extreme conflict and destruction, there lies the opportunity for rebirth and renewal.
What the Supreme Purity Breathing Technique does is capture and amplify this opportunity of "mutual generation," forcibly crushing and recombining the destructive ice and fire energy, transforming it into the purest primordial energy and a strange power to temper the physical body.
This process was slow and painful; every minute and every second felt like being tortured in a sea of fire.
Lin Yan's consciousness teetered on the edge of lucidity and confusion, sustained only by an unwavering will.
Under the frenzied assault of ice and fire energy and the guidance of the " Supreme Purity Breathing Technique," the meridians within his body were constantly breaking down, only to be repaired and broadened by the transformed pure primordial energy and the power of Immortal Herb, becoming even more resilient and expansive.
His bones, internal organs, and muscles are also undergoing a cycle of destruction and reconstruction, with impurities being removed and the essence being elevated.
Time lost its meaning at this moment.
I don't know how much time has passed; perhaps it was a moment, perhaps it was eternity.
The violent conflict between ice and fire within Lin Yan's body finally began to subside. It wasn't that the energy was exhausted, but rather that they had been initially "tamed" by the " Supreme Purity Breathing Technique," and began to achieve a fragile balance within his body according to some mysterious trajectory, and were continuously being refined and absorbed.
The ice and crimson on his body began to slowly recede, revealing the new skin beneath. That skin was as smooth as jade, faintly glowing with a blend of golden red and ice blue, full of indescribable resilience and strength.
The excruciating pain receded like a tide, replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort and power. Lin Yan could clearly feel his physical strength leaping forward at an astonishing rate! Strength, speed, defense, recovery... an all-around improvement!
Originally unable to increase its Soul Power due to the lack of Third Soul Ring, it began to break through its bottleneck on its own, propelled by the immense energy from these two Immortal Herb, as if it could break through level 30 without absorbing Soul Ring. However, ultimately, it was still unable to break through the level 30 bottleneck due to the constraints of heaven and earth.
At the same time, his Illusory Rainbow Ice Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was released involuntarily. The originally colorful grass leaves became even more colorful and profound, with a faint golden-red and ice-blue luster emanating from the edges of the leaves. The life force was not only more intense, but also added a touch of resilience and majesty that could not be impervious to water and fire.
The Martial Soul itself seems to be absorbing the power of ice and fire, undergoing a deeper evolution.
Ice and Fire Golden Body, tempering the Martial Soul!
Lin Yan knew that the most dangerous moment had passed.
He completely immersed himself in the task, fully activating the " Supreme Purity Breathing Technique," greedily absorbing the supreme blessings brought by these two immortal herbs, laying the most solid foundation for absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring in the future.
