Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"This mantle has been passed down, and I hope he understood my hint."

Long Xiaoyao pulled his feet out of the rock and slowly walked to the cave entrance, looking at the village where he and Mu En had become friends, and the nameless tombstone used to commemorate the villagers who died at the hands of evil soul masters.

With his astonishing eyesight, he could naturally see that above the stone tablet, a few withered gray leaves still clung to the branches of the old tree, giving him a strange sense of desolation.

A rumbling sound came from behind, seemingly due to the aftershocks of his clashes with Kong Tianxu over the past few months. The dragon bones that he had predicted would last at least ten thousand years before completely decaying, the one belonging to the Holy Light Dragon, began to crumble at an alarming speed, starting from the spine.

A field of white bones lay scattered, leaving only the weathered black dragon standing alone against the heavens.

Rain began to fall from the sky.

A fallen leaf withers away.

……

"Tianxu, what's wrong? Why are you all smiles and frowning all of a sudden?"

"Inside the level nine flying soul tool piloted by the Snow Empress, Cain asked curiously."

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has finally been found; this is the happiest thing for me." Kong Tianxu didn't keep anyone in suspense. He then tossed aside the envelope in his hand, only one corner still burning, and said, "As for the other matter—"

"News has come from Shrek Academy: Moon is dead."

Chapter 149 A Fated Person Arrives at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Cain said with obvious surprise, "Dragon God Douluo Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy? He was a Soul Master from the same era as Elder Ye and Elder Long, right? I didn't expect him to die so young. I thought Limit Douluo could live for more than three hundred years. But his death is a good thing for us."

"Yes, it's definitely a good thing he's dead."

Because of the original sin douluo's desperate fight, Mu En's life force was drained more severely than in the original story. He didn't even live to see the next spring, and his death was brought forward by a whole year.

But Mu En did not give the Dragon Pill to Long Xiaoyao.

Kong Tianxu thought to himself. He was quite certain that in the months since Mu En appeared, Long Xiaoyao would never have had the opportunity to communicate with Mu En alone.

Long Xiaoyao spent most of his time with her, and even when he occasionally slipped out of her sight, Ye Xishui would follow him closely.

Therefore, the Dragon Core must still be at Shrek Academy, and it definitely hasn't been absorbed.

The dragon core in Moon's hand was formed from the essence of a Holy Light Dragon with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation after its death. It contained the dragon's bloodline and primordial power and was used by the dragon to temper its spiritual consciousness.

Its domineering power surpasses even the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow of the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm. Even after being nurtured by Mu En for a hundred years, there are very few people on the continent who can absorb it.

Within Shrek Academy, only Huo Yuhao, Xuanzi, and Bei Bei are capable of withstanding the domineering aura of the Dragon Core, or are inherently suited to its power, with Wang Dong possibly added as well.

Absorbing the Dragon Pill not only requires a certain level of cultivation, but also requires the Soul Master's body to be completely defenseless, in a state of absolute weakness or even near exhaustion.

Huo Yuhao and the others did not have enough cultivation in a short time, and Xuanzi had to take over the Sea God Pavilion in the few years after Mu En's death, so it was even more impossible for him to go into seclusion and absorb knowledge without distraction.

Combined with Long Xiaoyao's vague hint not long ago, Kong Tianxu had roughly guessed Mu En's thoughts.

He sneered inwardly.

He wants to use Xuanzi's Taotie bloodline as a trump card to suppress my Silver Dragon? That's a clever plan, but unfortunately, I'm determined to get the Dragon Pill.

As an unprecedented possessor of the Three Lives Super Martial Soul, and with both his Supreme Body and the Silver Dragon providing extremely strong enhancements to his physical body, Kong Tianxu would not be satisfied with merely breaking through by constructing multiple soul cores. He would also attempt to simultaneously transform the large-scale black hole soul power within his body.

The requirements for the physical body in the Yin-Yang complementarity are already ridiculously high, while the soul core transformation of the entire body's black hole soul power is even more difficult. The former has been considered by humans, while the latter is absolutely exclusive to soul beasts.

Therefore, Kong Tianxu would never let go of a treasure like the Dragon Pill, which can break through the limits of the human body, allowing Soul Masters to transcend the human realm and truly possess the power of the dragon race.

As for where Mu En hid the Dragon Pill, Kong Tianxu believed that Mu En would tell him when he arrived at Shrek Academy.

In a flash, Kong Tianxu had already made up his mind and immediately asked:

"Yin'er, what did Jing Hongchen say when he came last time?"

"The Red Dust Hall Master said that Shrek Academy sent a letter requiring that you be among our exchange students. They will also send Huo Yuhao, the closed-door disciple of Dragon God Douluo, in exchange. At the same time, Shrek Academy expressed their willingness to make an exception and grant you a chance to study the Golden Tree. We have not yet given them a clear reply."

Cain repeated Jing Hongchen's words verbatim, then frowned and said:

"Tianxu, they clearly intend to take you hostage."

Kong Tianxu shook his head and smiled:

"I'm afraid there's more to it than that. Heh, they're quite generous with the opportunity to study the Golden Tree; they probably have ulterior motives. But it doesn't matter, we'll see who profits more in the end. Tell Jing Hongchen that I've agreed, but the start date has to be a year from now."

He was still thinking about how to sneak into the vicinity of the Golden Tree when Shrek Academy unexpectedly handed him a pillow.

Moon transformed himself into a soul and merged with the Golden Tree, thinking that this would allow him to continue protecting Shrek. Unfortunately, he didn't know that sometimes, a lingering soul is more prone to making mistakes than a completely dead one.

Kong Tianxu smiled confidently, a platinum-gold light flashing in his eyes.

Especially for him.

The speed of a level nine flying soul tool is incredibly fast. When Xue Di is bored, she usually spends most of her time tinkering with various soul tools and is quite skilled at using them.

Although they had to take a slightly longer route to avoid the airspace defenses of the Heavenly Soul Empire, thanks to the Snow Empress's immense soul power, they traversed half of the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire in less than half a day, finally spotting the Sunset Forest located in the northern part of the continent.

It is common sense for soul masters not to fly over areas where soul beasts live.

But this was nothing to Kong Tianxu and his two companions, who had a Limit Douluo in charge. They didn't even slow down and went straight into the skies above Sunset Forest. Some of the thousand-year-old soul beasts that had been entrenched there were so afraid to leave their territory after just feeling the sonic boom of the flying soul tool.

From a bird's-eye view, the vegetation in Sunset Forest appears slightly sparser than that in Starry Sky Forest, due to differences in geographical location and the presence of different species.

The Starry Sky Forest is located in the central part of the continent. It has a pleasant climate with temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius all year round. There is almost no winter, and no ice or snow.

Sunset Forest is located more than a thousand kilometers north of Starry Sky Forest. Further north lies the far north, where temperatures are much lower, and the vegetation is mainly composed of more cold-resistant coniferous forests. Although sparser, the plants that can survive here are clearly more resilient.

Seemingly sensing the change in temperature, Xue Di's mood became noticeably more cheerful, and she kept pointing to something below at Kong Tianxu.

At such speed, only Kong Tianxu could keep up with her reaction; even ordinary titled Douluo did not have such eyesight.

The Sunset Forest appeared peaceful, but as they ventured deeper, a thin mist seemed to drift through the woods.

The thin mist gradually faded and disappeared in the distance along their path, but as they continued forward, it became increasingly dense, and its color was no longer just pure white; in the distance, there were even vibrant colors.

Because the Snow Emperor flies very fast, this change is particularly noticeable. From a distance, it looks like a cloud has fallen into the forest, making the vegetation indistinct.

“It’s miasma,” Kong Tianxu explained softly.

Cain couldn't help but gasp:

"There's such a vast miasma forest, and it's even colorful. How many corpses must have rotted here to create such a massive miasma?"

Miasma is mostly toxic gas formed from the decay of animal and plant corpses without treatment or dissipation by wind or rain. Different types of miasma vary in toxicity, causing dizziness and vomiting in mild cases, and death in severe cases. Some highly toxic miasma are extremely corrosive, even gradually rendering metals ineffective or causing them to melt.

Poisonous miasma of this level is no small matter; even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to force his way through. Not to mention the even more extraordinary Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus that exist within it, which have blocked countless outsiders from spying over the past ten thousand years.

Judging from the current trend, Kong Tianxu estimates that perhaps a thousand years from now, under the poisonous cloud set up by Tang San, Sunset Forest will become a lifeless, poisonous miasma forest.

Of course, there are still ways to break in.

At the very center of the thickest poisonous miasma, which even showed hints of emerald green, a dark red figure shone brightly in the sky, behind which was a huge humanoid figure of light.

This beam of light was a hundred meters tall, its entire body a dark red color, but it had twelve pairs of blood-red wings. The twelve pairs of wings came together and flapped down at the same time, tearing through space with streaks of blood, as if it were fighting against something.

Blood Soul Demon Puppet, Ye Xishui has arrived.

Kong Tianxu signaled Xue Di to land. In a flash of light, the three of them entered the crimson light and shadow without any obstruction and witnessed a shocking scene.

A vast expanse of emerald green light covered the earth, and the seemingly haphazard green plants completely covered everything visible on the ground.

A light, emerald-green mist rose upwards and gradually spread outwards.

These lush green plants extend to both sides, reaching a height of about half a meter. Each plant has nine oddly shaped leaves, resembling a human hand but with seven fingers, and the larger ones even have nine fingers.

Each flower is topped with a large, emerald-green flower, and the emerald-green mist emanating from the flower's stamen blends into the surrounding seven-colored poisonous miasma, making green the dominant color in this area.

Looking further into the distance, with his astonishing eyesight, Kong Tianxu could see vast swirling clouds of miasma behind these emerald green plants. They were slowly settling downwards, but their density seemed no less than that of the clouds that had filled the sky before.

Ye Xishui is fighting against this emerald green poisonous cloud that covers the valley like an inverted giant bowl.

Faced with the blood lines released by the Blood Soul Demon Puppet, the seven-colored poisonous miasma instantly dissipated.

However, when the bloodline approached the emerald green poisonous mist, it became tainted with more of the emerald green seven-colored poisonous miasma, and its resistance to it was significantly enhanced. Although it was still no match for the destructive power of the Limit Douluo level, after dispersing briefly, the surrounding emerald green poisonous mist surged towards it again at an astonishing speed, showing a hint of a counterattack.

When Kong Tianxu and his two companions entered the Demon Puppet Blood Shadow, the stunned Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng and the others hurriedly paid their respects.

They were part of an advance exploration team, and if Ye Xishui hadn't intervened in time, everyone except for him, the Super Douluo leading the team, would probably have perished here.

Cain's eyes widened in even greater surprise. After training with Ye Xishui for a period of time, she knew all too well how powerful this Death God Douluo was.

In terms of cultivation, Ye Xishui, whose soul power was mostly enhanced through evil means, was inferior to Long Xiaoyao and Mu En. However, in terms of pure combat power in life-and-death battles, even without the Death God Tower and her second martial soul, she was likely to surpass the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons.

But now, Ye Xishui, who seemed to have been holding back quite a bit, was actually blocked by this poisonous cloud in front of her? What exactly is this poisonous cloud?

"The Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus, and the Nine Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus," Kong Tianxu said calmly. Even without his precognitive knowledge of the original story, this plant, or rather, this plant-type soul beast, was an old friend of his.

Putting aside everything else, the 90,000-year-old Azure Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower Soul Seed from the Star Dou Great Forest is still in his storage Soul Guidance Ring.

Zhang Peng was greatly surprised and said:

"Holy Emperor, are you saying that it looks at least a kilometer wide, extending to both sides and likely surrounding the entire canyon, with tens of thousands of extremely rare and precious Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers, as well as Jade Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers that have evolved into plant-type soul beasts?"

It's important to know that while the Seven-Colored Phosphorus Flower prefers to live in groups, its reproductive ability is very poor. They have extremely demanding environmental requirements and need to absorb large amounts of nutrients to sustain themselves during their growth, making evolution virtually impossible.

But judging from the agility of this cyan phosphorus cloud attack, at least a large portion of it has already evolved!

Ye Xishui glanced sideways at Zhang Peng, then said to Kong Tianxu in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, after my recent probing, this Azure Phosphorus Poison Cloud has weakened considerably. However, more than half of the Azure Phosphorus Nine-Finger Flower Soul Beasts within it have evolved their leaves into nine fingers. Given the level of the Azure Phosphorus Seven-Finger Flower, once they become Soul Beasts, they will undoubtedly be at the ten-thousand-year level. Thousands of ten-thousand-year-old Azure Phosphorus Nine-Finger Flowers, and they grow so uniformly—who knows what secrets this treasure land holds? Perhaps we should use my Death God Tower..."

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is such a wonderful environment that it is naturally a paradise for all plants; otherwise, Tang San's Jade Phosphorus Seven Wonders would not have survived.

Kong Tianxu smiled:

"It's alright, Xue'er, go ahead."

"it is good!"

Xue Di had been eager to try for a long time, and a hint of contempt and disdain was revealed in her large, sky-blue eyes.

Who is this girl? Is she not afraid of dying?

Just as Zhang Peng and the others were still somewhat stunned, the icy blue light on Xue Di's body suddenly shone brightly, and a cold current of less than two hundred degrees below zero swept through, causing the humid, poisonous air to undergo drastic changes.

Large swaths of the seven-colored poisonous miasma dissipated rapidly as if encountering the most terrifying event, with large amounts of seven-colored powder falling to the ground, instantly clearing the surrounding air. With the arrival of extreme cold, the buds of the Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers tightly closed, and the surrounding Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Mist continued to dissipate, posing no corrosive effect on them.

As Xue Di flew through the air, she was still not satisfied with the closed buds of the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus. She raised her right hand high in the air, and a deep blue longsword that seemed to be formed from ice crystals appeared out of thin air in her hand.

Before anyone could even see the longsword clearly, the Snow Empress's hand, gripping the sword, had already slashed down in an instant. A deep blue light traced a fan-shaped pattern in the air, changing from deep blue to light blue, then to pale blue, and finally turning white.

Where the terrifying sword light passed, black cracks appeared in the air, as if the sword had cleaved through space. The countless cracks that suddenly appeared were as if all the spatial rifts had been frozen into ice and then cut open by the sword.

Emperor's Sword, Unrivaled Ice!
