Chapter 418: The Silver Dragon King's Sorrow
After passing through layers of toxic mist, the group was met with an unprecedented wave of fresh air brimming with vitality.
Before their eyes was no dangerous land this was paradise on earth.
The sky above was completely shrouded in a multicolored poisonous cloud, making the valley below appear as if it were bathed in a radiant rainbow. In the distance, deep blue vines crawled across the mountain walls, giving the cliffs the appearance of massive sapphire formations glowing with a faint, mesmerizing luster.
The valley itself wasn't particularly large, yet it was teeming with a vast array of plants in countless shades of color. Flowers of all kinds bloomed in vibrant competition, while various trees bore an abundance of fruit.
Many of these plants radiated a mystical glow, their brilliance alone enough to reveal their extraordinary nature.
But the most breathtaking sight was undoubtedly the lake at the valley's heart, surrounded by these miraculous plants.
The water was perfectly divided into two halves one side ice white, exuding a faint cold mist, while the other side flame red, with waves that shimmered and distorted the surrounding light.
The contrast of red and white was like two massive gemstones embedded into the earth. The potent life energy flooding the valley originated from the lake's steaming waters, filling the entire space with its nourishing aura.
Di Tian and the other fierce beasts were stunned.
They never imagined such a sacred land existed on Douluo Continent.
It looked like something that simply shouldn't exist in this world.
The air was saturated with dense energy of all elements, combined with an overwhelming life force. This was a paradise a land made for soul beasts.
Training here would accelerate their growth by many times compared to the outside world.
"This… this is a land of supreme treasures!"
The video had only shown fragments of this place.
Now that they were personally experiencing it, they finally understood why it could nurture so many immortal herbs.
Among them, the Ten Thousand Demon King, whose true form was the Demon Eyed Tree King, couldn't help but exclaim, "I can say with absolute certainty there is no place on Douluo Continent more suitable for plants than this! The life energy here is at least five times stronger than the Star Dou Forest's core region! How is it possible that such a place exists on this continent?"
"Could this be the work of the gods?" a fierce beast speculated.
"No," the Silver Dragon King shook her head, dismissing the idea.
She gazed at the lake, its waters split into two distinct colors.
Her voice carried a sorrowful weight.
"This place was formed from the remains of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King two fallen warriors of the Divine Realm War."
With the Dragon God's memories, she recognized it immediately.
The power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was undeniably linked to them.
"…What?!"
Di Tian and the others were shocked.
Their eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at the miraculous lake now knowing it was the final resting place of two great dragons.
Then, recalling what the videos had mentioned about this place, a nameless fury ignited within them.
This land born from the sacrifice of their dragon ancestors rightfully belonged to the soul beasts.
And yet, it had been seized by humans.
The herbs growing here were harvested to nurture soul masters, empowering those who sought to suppress the soul beast race.
Unforgivable!
The gods had already trampled their kind into the dust and now humans dared to exploit them further?!
The Silver Dragon King stood in solemn silence, emotions swirling as memories from the Dragon God threatened to consume her.
Finally, she took a deep breath, pushing back her sorrow.
Turning to Ye Cheng, she said, "This place will indeed help my recovery. But I need to go deep beneath the lake. Will you come with me?"
A beautiful woman extending an invitation Ye Cheng naturally wouldn't refuse.
He nodded without hesitation.
Di Tian and the other fierce beasts remained behind, waiting for their return.
The two of them ascended into the air, flying towards the dual colored lake.
As they passed by the intelligent immortal herbs, the plants that had once been arrogant and untamed in the original story did not dare make a sound.
They trembled where they stood, desperately praying that these intruders wouldn't uproot them entirely.
But the Silver Dragon King and Ye Cheng completely ignored them.
At their level, immortal herbs were no different from weeds.
They might still be useful to Di Tian and the others who hadn't reached godhood, but even for them, the effects would be limited.
The two reached the center of the lake and, without hesitation, dove straight in.
Splash!
The water swallowed them in an instant, and they disappeared beneath the surface.
The lake quickly returned to its tranquil state, the red and white waters remaining perfectly separated. Mist continued to rise, filling the air.
Watching from afar, Di Tian and the others couldn't help but twitch.
Their instincts screamed that this lake was extremely dangerous.
Even a single drop of its water could likely kill them instantly.
Yet those two had jumped in without a second thought without even casting a protective barrier!
True power breeds arrogance.
Beneath the surface, the Silver Dragon King and Ye Cheng ignored the lake's extreme elemental energies and surveyed their surroundings before diving deeper.
Their target was clear the bottom of the lake!
The deeper they went, the wider the space around them became.
But the pressure also grew stronger.
The temperature extremes of the lake intensified.
The waters here carried the power of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, an overwhelming force capable of annihilating anything below the god level.
However, for Ye Cheng and the Silver Dragon King, these waters couldn't even damage their clothes, let alone their bodies.
The further they descended, the greater the resistance they faced.
The dark abyss below seemed like a passage leading to the underworld itself.
As they continued, the passage widened significantly.
It took on the shape of a massive cone narrow at the top and expanding the deeper they went.
Observing the structure, both Ye Cheng and the Silver Dragon King could almost picture the past.
Two massive dragons dying as they fell from the sky, their corpses crashing into the land like meteors.
The impact must have pierced deep into the planet's core, leaving a passage thousands of meters long.
At the bottom of this abyss, the remnants of their powers water and fire collided and exploded, creating the phenomenon known as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The process resembled a volcanic eruption, where an immense chamber existed below, with a small opening above serving as a release valve.
Over countless years, the land around it stabilized, shaping itself into a valley.
The clash of opposing energies gradually found a balance…
And thus, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was born.
The Silver Dragon King's expression grew increasingly melancholic.
The Dragon God's memories churned in her mind, stirring emotions she had never personally experienced.
The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had died long before she was even born.
She had never truly met them.
Yet, in this moment, she grieved for them as if they were her own family.
The deeper they went, the purer the energy in the water became.
They were approaching the true core of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The energy at the surface was merely a diluted fragment of what lay beneath.
And yet, even those scraps had been enough to nurture countless immortal herbs…
It was a testament to the unimaginable power the two Dragon Kings had wielded in life.
Without a doubt
They had been pinnacle First Class Gods!
