The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 88 Raiding the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire (5000 words)

Its bone-chilling low temperature penetrated every inch of the earth. In Huo Yuhao's mental detection, every root of these Blue Silver Grasses was frozen and turned into ice crystals.

This was the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain, performed under the guidance of the Snow Empress and with the help of the Ice Empress's Eternal Frozen Domain. Although its power was not as great as the Snow Empress's full power in the far north, the all-pervasive ice and snow perfectly restrained these Blue Silver Grasses.

As the blizzard subsided, the Blue Silver Grass instantly transformed into pure soul power, then crumbled into dust in the snow and ice, leaving behind countless soul rings floating in the air. Not a single corpse or soul bone remained.

Hei Yuhao used the same trick again, taking away all the soul rings and remnant souls, while the construction team of undead creatures began digging, directly lowering the terrain outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well by a hundred meters.

Looking at the bare cliff face and narrow passage, Huo Yuhao used his Reality Mimicry to make the undead creatures swarm in. Under the cover of Reality Mimicry, they were not noticed by any of the soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Huo Yuhao, Bingdi, and Xuedi were the last to enter. After Huo Yuhao entered, he immediately summoned a gate of the dead to block the only passage.

Upon entering the valley, one sees beautiful flowers vying for attention, and various plants laden with fruit. Many plants radiate varying degrees of shimmering light. Even with the naked eye, their extraordinary nature is evident.

Nestled among these plants lies a lake, clearly divided into two parts. One side is icy white, shrouded in a faint mist, while the other is fiery red, with the light distorted slightly across its surface.

The red and white colors were like two enormous pieces of jade inlaid there. The rich life force in the air filled the entire space of the valley with their vapors.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is unimaginably dense. If a Soul Master cultivates in such an environment, their cultivation speed will increase by at least four or five times.

Within this valley, many immortal herbs exude the aura of 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Clearly, after 10,000 years of growth, many of them have grown into 100,000-year-old beings in this treasure land.

Meanwhile, behind this gate of the dead, was the tenth-tier forbidden spell, Necromancy, Domination-type, Ilex's Command, which Hei Yuhao had prepared.

Huo Yuhao believed that he was now fully prepared. Although the plant soul beasts here had a cultivation of 100,000 years, they were basically just pretty faces with no practical use. Under the overwhelming attack of a large number of undead creatures and with the Ice and Snow Emperors in charge, they would definitely not be able to stop them. Only by summoning the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' dual souls could they fight against them.

Huo Yuhao had already taken the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' dual souls into account. As long as they dared to mobilize their power, they would immediately turn against him due to the necromancy, turning against him.

As the aura of the Gate of the Dead fully unfolded, the 100,000-year-old plant soul beast within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire belatedly awoke.

"Who goes there! How dare you try to take advantage of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!" a fairy herb screamed.

Some of the immortal herbs trembled involuntarily as they sensed the terrifying and endless aura of death.

Even more aggressive immortal herbs launched direct attacks on the undead creatures, unleashing a barrage of ice and fire power, but to no avail against the endless stream of undead.

However, just as Huo Yuhao had anticipated, the endless stream of undead creatures quickly drained the already limited fighting spirit of these inexperienced immortal herbs.

"Damn it, I can't hold on any longer, Youyou, what do we do?!"

"Damn it, Ah Jiao, use that one! Otherwise, it'll be too late!"

The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom simultaneously consumed their own source power, and began to draw upon the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Two illusory dragon shadows rose from the spring.

But at that moment, Hei Yuhao's cold laughter echoed from the Gate of the Dead: "This is exactly what I've been waiting for! Become my servants! Tenth-Tier Forbidden Spell - Command of Ilex!"

The two dragon souls, whose eyes had been lifeless, seemed to have gained a glimmer of light, and they hovered motionless in mid-air.

The undead creatures that were attacking the immortal herb also stopped their attacks. The two dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King obediently flew to the feet of the sinister old man who was Huo Yuhao in disguise.

In mid-air, Huo Yuhao looked at the group of immortal herbs and said, "From now on, this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well belongs to me, including all of you. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"You are given only two paths: to submit or to submit after death."

"Hehehe, make your choice!" Huo Yuhao let out a villainous laugh. After his spiritual avatar combined with his realistic mimicry, he put on a mask, yet it seemed as if he had taken it off.

The immortal herbs looked at each other in dismay. At this moment, the fiery apricot blossoms angrily said, "You dare to challenge me! Who do you think you are!" She then consumed her source power again, attempting to mobilize the power of the spring water in her fire eye to attack Huo Yuhao.

Although Huo Yuhao now possesses the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, and could directly have the Ice and Fire Dragon King veto her actions, he still coldly said, "Kill her, Ice Emperor."

The Ice Emperor, who had been concealing her aura under the cover of realistic simulation, suddenly unleashed her power. Without uttering a word, she shot out an extremely cold freezing ray from the tail spikes behind her. Even though the Fiery Apricot was an extreme fire and had a cultivation of 100,000 years, it was still a powerful weapon.

However, they were still no match for the Ice Emperor, who had cultivated for 400,000 years. At the same time, the Snow Emperor's aura resonated with the Ice Emperor's. Huo Yuhao's cold gaze swept over the group of immortal herbs. He was already confident when he called the Ice Emperor, but he called the Snow Emperor just to be on the safe side.

Faced with the absolute difference in attributes and strength, Liehuo Xingjiao let out a scream and was instantly frozen into dust; all her defenses and resistance were in vain.

At this moment, a crimson soul bone slowly emerged from the pile of ice powder. It was a right arm bone of the 100,000-year level. Under the control of Hei Yuhao in the undead demiplane, the originally red soul ring of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was gradually drawn into the gate of the undead as the magic took shape.

As it broke free from the rules of the Douluo world, due to its nature as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, its original soul ring gradually merged with its remnant soul into a phantom crimson humanoid form.

It was Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's soul that uttered the question, "I...I'm not dead?" Immediately afterward, the liches from the undead demiplane swarmed forward.

Various necromancy spells were cast on this powerful yet powerless soul, including soul tearing, soul stripping, soul devouring, and soul whipping, to gnaw at and torment her.

After seizing her soul, she strengthened her own soul fire. However, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu had no soul-related abilities and could only wander around aimlessly, unable to escape the boundless sea of ​​the dead. Every time she lost a part of her soul, she would let out a shrill scream.

Huo Yuhao did not hide the scream. Through the Gate of the Dead, all the immortal herbs were terrified and trembled when they heard the scream of the usually arrogant Liehuo Xingjiao.

"Death is not the end, but the beginning."

"If someone dies by my hand, it won't be as simple as just dying."

"Now, I think you've had enough time to consider this."

"10".

"8".

"5".

"3".

"Wait, wait, what?"

"2".

"Wait, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender!" Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly start jumping up and down counting, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin said in alarm.

"Really, please believe us!"

"On behalf of everyone, I pledge my allegiance to you."

Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin secretly gritted her teeth in hatred, but now their lives were in the hands of others, and they had no choice but to bow their heads when they were under someone else's roof.

"Very well, offer your loyalty, but not now."

"Now, do not resist."

Huo Yuhao instructed the undead creatures to carry the immortal herbs and the soil beneath them to the undead demiplane.

At the same time, he commanded the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King to control his own corpse and the pool water in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, bringing them into the undead demiplane as well.

After Huo Yuhao thoroughly searched the place, the once abundant Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes were left in a mess, and Huo Yuhao did not let go of the spiritual energy within.

He inscribed a huge spirit-gathering array, forcibly absorbing the spiritual energy in the valley into spiritual energy crystals. Although there would be a lot of loss in the process, it didn't matter if things that couldn't be taken away were lost.

Looking at the fertile soil and rock layers, Huo Yuhao commanded the tireless undead creatures to dig them all up and bring them into the undead demiplane. Looking at this desolate valley devoid of life, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of refreshment for some reason.

Huo Yuhao then controlled the undead creatures back to the undead demiplane, while instructing the Ice and Snow Emperors to return to the far north on their own, so as not to expose their whereabouts. This spiritual avatar then activated its true form and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

He piloted the flying soul tool and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile, in the undead demiplane...

After the group of immortal herbs were moved here, they were all trembling. At the same time, they saw a black-haired, black-eyed boy holding the remnant soul of a phantom woman in red.

They recognized the woman in red: "Ah Jiao!" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin exclaimed in surprise.

"Alright, now, offer your loyalty! Offer up the very essence of your lives and sign the blood pact."

Hei Yuhao quickly molded the remnant soul of Liehuo Xingjiao into a soul crystal, then looked at the remaining immortal items and coldly spoke.

At this moment, he used magic to set up a separate barrier around the undead demiplane to ensure that the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would not be affected or conflicted by the undead demiplane.

All the immortal herbs are now completely under Hei Yuhao's control, and have no choice but to offer up their essence and sign a blood pact with Hei Yuhao.

Originally, Hei Yuhao's puppet, which was infinitely close to the ultimate light, directly gained affinity for multiple attributes under the influence of the blood pact feedback from these immortal herbs, and then consumed their immortal herb essence.

Through the affinity brought by the blood pact, the refinement not only brought the light attribute to its maximum, but also the ice and fire attributes to their maximum.

Furthermore, the convergence of multiple other attributes within one body significantly reduced the difficulty of casting most of the magic in Electrox's memory.

It should be known that a normal human body absolutely cannot withstand the effects of multiple immortal herbs, but Hei Yuhao's body, with the support of the blood pact and the puppet body, was essentially a furnace that forcibly absorbed and condensed them into one.

With the accumulation of a large amount of immortal herbs, this undead puppet soared from the eighth rank to the ninth rank. However, due to consuming a large amount of immortal herbs, its body was riddled with holes, and its strength could no longer improve.

However, Hei Yuhao remained calm, because the greatest value of this body was as a container for storing energy, and now this body was actually functioning like a pill furnace.

After purifying and refining the energy of the immortal herb, which was originally full of impurities, Huo Yuhao should be able to absorb all the power of this vessel once his own strength reaches the required level. This should be enough for him to break through the most difficult bottleneck stages.

As for those immortal herbs that had not developed sentience, Hei Yuhao did not attempt to refine them because they were not affected by the blood pact; otherwise, there was a real possibility that they would explode.

Hei Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the dejected Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin and said, "Now, hand over the book that Tang San left behind."

Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin looked at him in disbelief: "You, you, how did you know?"

Hei Yuhao's eyes were icy cold. Seeing this look, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin dared not say anything more. She took out a book from her petals, which was the Tang Sect's method of using poison, and also recorded the effects of immortal herbs.

Although I don't know why the Tang Clan, which seems to be in a martial arts world, would have records of something completely unrelated, and that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was created because of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

But knowledge is knowledge, and knowledge is neither right nor wrong. Hei Yuhao ignored Tang San's rambling nonsense, wrote down all the knowledge, and then burned the book to ashes.

Although this trip depleted much of the Undead Demiplane's resources, with the support of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the Undead Demiplane is now even stronger than before. The gains obtained are entirely acceptable, or even a huge profit.

"Alright, next, I'm going to do some experiments. I hope everyone will cooperate enthusiastically." Hei Yuhao looked at the group of immortal herbs, a terrifying smile tugging at his stiff puppet face.

It took Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar three days to reach the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, but he did not enter directly because his purpose in coming here was only to locate it.

In the undead demiplane at this time.

With the return of Huo Yuhao's avatar, Hei Yuhao was now facing a two-headed baboon. One of its heads had bloodshot eyes, filled with chaos and devoid of reason, squealing wildly.

The other head was slightly better, but it still lacked intelligence and was full of bestiality. Its body was completely green, and its hands were emerald green tentacles that made a sizzling sound as they touched the air.

It is dark green all over and about five meters tall.

After seeing Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar return, Hei Yuhao nodded to him: "This is a creature that I remodeled after I finished debugging the Grim Reaper and experimented with the corpses and souls of those soul beasts, combined with the failed individual of that Wind Baboon."

"After all, this is my first work, and I really like it."

"It also consumed some other life forms composed of soul bones."

"I condensed that chaotic life force and the remnant soul within it into one of his heads, while the pure spiritual power and will were stored in another head. By drawing on the concept of the latest realm of the Heavenly Heart Ultimate Skill, which combines soul power, spiritual power, and blood and qi, I successfully transformed his body into a completely poisonous body."

"By combining the toxins of the Jade Phosphorus Flower with the spirit rings and the medicinal toxins excreted from the immortal herbs within my body, its current toxic form can cause great trouble even for some 100,000-year-old spirit beasts with low poison resistance."

"Moreover, because of the characteristics of his body, even if he is beaten into a pulp, as long as his life force is not exhausted and his core body is not completely destroyed, he will continue to regenerate."

"Although its actual combat power is only about ten thousand years, it should be considered a good helper in the future. After all, the parts it needs for advancement are things that ordinary undead creatures don't need. After studying it, I basically had a greater confidence in our subsequent plan."

"After that, I can make it stronger by filling it with the life force of other soul beasts. It is a creature that is somewhere between a soul beast and an undead. Under the influence of the power of belief, it has already taken on our form and would never betray us."

"I named him Demogorgon as a small tribute."

With a casual wave of his hand, Hei Yuhao conjured a sealing array on the monster's body, turning it into a stone statue and resealing it to prevent the spread of its poisonous gas.

"Furthermore, during this time I also studied the soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King and made an amazing discovery."

"That is the residual divine power in their souls, which is very similar to our power of belief. In essence, there is not much difference, and our power of belief is even at a higher level."

"It's just that we have too little faith."

Huo Yuhao suddenly understood something. "You mean, the divine power formed by the power of faith is itself a kind of power of belief?"

"So, it's because believers believe that the gods can do the corresponding things, and therefore the power of faith can bear the corresponding authority?"

Hei Yuhao nodded: "That's why the power of belief can be extracted from the emotions of the fear imprint. Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'll study this slowly later."

Immediately afterwards, Hei Yuhao led Huo Yuhao to the training array that had been set up earlier. At this time, the six core nodes of the training array were respectively placed with: a ball of pure bloodline of the Light Dragon Clan, the Gold of Life, a rare metal alloy block, and a Soul Crystal.

"You stand at a node first. I need to refine the soul bone into a suitable container," Hei Yuhao said, while taking out the soul bone he had obtained during his sweep of the Sunset Forest.

Besides the original soul bone attached to the right paw of the Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the right arm bone formed from its soul ring, and the torso bone produced by the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Wolf with an extremely rare solidified soul skill, Hei Yuhao carefully selected several suitable soul bones from the Sunset Forest.
