Chapter 148: Ice Fire Tempered Body
Now, the only option was to enter the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and investigate personally.
The power of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was terrifying to avoid getting harmed, the best solution was to undergo Ice Fire Tempered Body. Although the process was painful, the benefits were undeniable.
Since he possessed the Ultimate Ice martial soul, he should have no trouble entering the Extreme Cold Ice Spring. However, stepping into the Blazing Hot Yang Spring was a different story. Even with soul tools, he probably wouldn't withstand it after all, this place was where the Water and Fire Dragon Kings perished.
Thus, he had to undergo Ice Fire Tempered Body. Not only would this ensure his survival in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, but it would also enhance his physical constitution, granting him complete immunity to ice and fire from that point onward.
He could have asked Elder Yi to help him enter the well, but since he had the opportunity to undergo the Ice Fire Tempering, he might as well go through with it.
With this in mind, Huo Yuhao turned to Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Inferno, saying bluntly, "I want to undergo Ice Fire Tempered Body, so I need your help."
Fiery Apricot Inferno froze for a moment, instinctively shrinking back and muttering, "You even know about Ice Fire Tempered Body? I'm starting to think you were watching Tang San undergo it back then."
"Back when Tang San tempered his body here, I hadn't even gained sentience yet," it continued. "But he told us all about it later. Are you connected to Dugu Bo? No, that doesn't make sense he's been dead for years. How exactly are you getting all this information?"
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Snow Empress's icy voice rang out, "Yuhao told you to do something so do it. No more nonsense."
Her expression was cold and domineering.
She didn't understand what Ice Fire Tempered Body was, but she knew one thing for sure if Huo Yuhao gained benefits from it, she would too.
As Skydream often said, they were all members of "Yuhao's Godhood Advancement Squad" and should work together to help him overcome any challenge.
Fiery Apricot Inferno's temper flared, and it was about to talk back.
But when it met Snow Empress's indifferent gaze, it immediately backed down.
Trying to challenge a soul beast of this level? It wasn't that reckless.
Instead, it grumbled, "Fine, Huo Yuhao, we can help you undergo Ice Fire Tempered Body. But we're not willing to die, so at most, we'll give you a portion of our bodies."
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass agreed, nodding.
"Exactly. If we only offer part of our bodies, we can regenerate over time. Besides, the difference between consuming a full immortal herb and just a part of one is mainly the potency of the medicinal effect."
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment.
This was reasonable.
In the original story, Tang San had consumed both the Fiery Apricot Inferno and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to temper his body.
Although Tang San had eaten the complete herbs, those were of a much lower age they hadn't even developed sentience.
But the two before him were both hundred thousand year old soul beasts far superior in quality.
Even if he only consumed a portion, the medicinal potency should far surpass what Tang San had taken back then.
"Alright." He agreed without hesitation.
Hearing his response, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass gave up a leaf, and Fiery Apricot Inferno offered a petal.
Following the original method, Huo Yuhao swallowed them simultaneously, then leaped into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
Instantly, an overwhelming pain spread throughout his body.
"Yuhao!" Skydream Iceworm panicked.
Was this the Ice Fire Tempered Body?
He had assumed Huo Yuhao just needed to eat a part of the herbs, but he never imagined he would actually jump into the well.
Although Skydream didn't know much about the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, he was still a million year soul beast with powerful spiritual perception.
A quick scan told him how dangerously unstable the energy inside was.
Without thinking, he shot toward the well, trying to pull Huo Yuhao out.
But before he could move, Snow Empress raised a hand and stopped him.
Skydream's rare anger flared.
"Snow Empress! What are you doing?! Don't you see Yuhao's in danger? I have to get him out!"
Snow Empress remained calm and indifferent.
"Skydream, you need to have faith in Yuhao. Based on my observations, he never does anything without confidence in his success. And as long as Elder Yi is here, Yuhao has an unshakable safety net."
Skydream froze.
Her words made sense.
He had panicked, but now that he took a closer look at Yuhao, he realized his body was completely unharmed only his expression showed pain.
He exhaled and calmed down.
"So… this is Ice Fire Tempered Body?" he murmured.
"Judging by the name, it must be a way to temper one's body to extreme resilience."
A long while later, Huo Yuhao completed the tempering process.
Now, the so called Blazing Hot Yang Spring no longer posed any threat to him.
To him, it was just warm water, and the Extreme Cold Ice Spring was just a slightly cold bath.
Taking out a breathing support soul tool, he wrapped his soul power around it, ensuring it could withstand the extreme environment.
Then, he dove deeper into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, his entire body protected by Elder Yi's power.
He was about to face the remains of two God King level soul beasts, so caution was necessary.
After some time, he finally saw them
A colossal ice blue dragon corpse and a massive fire red dragon corpse.
The two divine level bodies lay dormant, stretching like mountain ranges beneath the water.
Even with his ice and fire immunity, Huo Yuhao felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort.
After all, these were soul beasts of God King tier.
"Next, I need to find the Dragon Cores and Soul Bones."
Determining his next goal, he swam toward the Fire Dragon King's remains, taking out a specialized excavation soul tool and began digging.
CLANG!
The shovel shattered instantly.
Huo Yuhao was stunned.
Then, he realized his mistake.
"Right… these are the bodies of God King tier soul beasts. Of course, I can't just dig through them with a normal soul tool."
Even ordinary soul beasts had tougher bodies than humans let alone soul beasts at this level.
"This is a problem… I can't break through."
He stared at the massive dragon scales, feeling a headache coming on.
After a brief hesitation, he called for help.
"Teacher, according to my divine premonition, this should be the greatest opportunity we can obtain from this journey."
If he could claim even a single soul bone or dragon core…
It would be enough to change everything.
