Under normal circumstances, only a soul beast with a cultivation of one hundred thousand years could speak human language. Huo Yuhao's partners had seen Xiong Jun and the Auspicious Beast speak human words in the Star Dou Great Forest. But this strange, large flower before them could actually also do it. This meant that it was very likely a hundred-thousand-year plant-system soul beast.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
It wasn't that the Beautiful Slik Tulip wasn't nervous. It had even sensed the terrifying fluctuation of the poison formation outside. Subsequently, this group of people had arrived here. What was even stranger was that on the two silver-haired human girls, it actually couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of aura.
The perception of a plant soul beast was mostly much stronger than that of an animal soul beast. But it had never encountered such a situation.
However, facing its questioning, the Snow Empress seemed too lazy to even answer. Her pair of beautiful eyes just indifferently glanced at it, and then she pulled Huo Yuhao and walked straight towards the direction of the cold spring.
"Stop! Answer my question! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Seeing that it had been ignored, the Beautiful Slik Tulip's voice carried a hint of annoyance.
This was not just because of the other party's attitude, but also because the environment they relied on for survival would not be artificially destroyed. If they didn't figure out the origin of these humans, who knew if they would spread the situation of this place after they went out? Once this kind of thing happened, all the plants here would probably suffer a devastating disaster.
The moment these words came out, the Snow Empress finally stopped her steps as it had wished. She turned her head to look at its position. Although her pair of eyes were as calm as ever, it still made it feel an indescribable cold intent.
"You... what are you trying to do?"
In an instant, the petals of the Beautiful Slik Tulip had subconsciously shrunk together. In front of the Snow Empress's faintly discernible pressure, even its tone had become a little careful.
The original world line was like this, and this life was also like this. Under the Snow Empress's extreme cold pressure, all plant-system soul beasts had to bow their heads and submit!
"You... you've broken into our home. You should at least... at least report your origins to us..."
"Home?"
As if she had heard some funny joke, Gu Yuena at the side let out a light sneer. After arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she had been carefully observing all along and had discovered that it was indeed as Huo Yuhao had described. The surrounding Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers and even the Biphosphorus Nine Absolute Flowers all had traces of being artificially planted.
It looked as if the person who had planted them was trying to protect this place. But in fact, even this group of plant soul beasts themselves were blocked by the poison miasma and were completely kept in captivity, with simply no way to go out.
"Just a bunch of weeds that have been kept in captivity. You can actually call this a home? Parasites that were only able to be born with intelligence by relying on the grace of my dragon clan. Even the two underwater would have to kneel when they see this king. What ability do you have to be impolite to this king?"
Speaking to the end, Gu Yuena's originally ethereal voice carried a cold intent that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Her crystal-like, long silver hair moved without any wind. A layer of a silver, hazy brilliance appeared on her body. The surrounding seven-colored elemental fluctuation suddenly became fierce.
The next moment, a terrifying pressure descended upon all the plants in the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As far as the eye could see, all the plants were crazily trembling under this pressure. And the Beautiful Slik Tulip, which was directly facing the pressure, even more so let out a miserable, shrill cry.
"My people of the dragon clan, this king has come, to take you home..."
"Water Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, heed this king's command and show your true bodies..."
"I am the Silver Dragon King, the incarnation of the Dragon God, the master of the elements, come to receive you all..."
So fcking domineering!* Huo Yuhao's eyelids jumped wildly. It was clear that the moment the Silver Dragon King had seen this spring, she had immediately figured out the essence under the spring.
In an instant, the entire valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located was as if it had had a chain reaction and had begun to tremble violently.
"What... what happened?"
All the hundred-thousand-year plant-system soul beasts looked at the position of the spring in terror. They, who were naturally keen in their perception, could at this moment clearly feel the terrifying energy that was hidden below the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"A dragon?"
The Beautiful Slik Tulip's tone was shocked. It wasn't until it had sensed the aura belonging to the dragon clan in the energy that it finally understood what Gu Yuena had meant by "parasites that were only able to be born with intelligence by relying on the grace of the dragon clan."
They had lived here for so long, yet they had never known that there was this kind of existence below the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...
The originally calm lake surface was at this moment as if it had boiled. Giant waves were continuously being stirred up. The originally already very terrifying low temperature, with the upsurge of the Water Dragon King's remnant energy, had actually once again dropped sharply, causing large patches of frost to condense in the air above the lake surface.
And it wasn't just on the side of the cold spring. Even the scarlet, scorching hot spring had also had the same situation. The surrounding plants had no doubt that at this moment, even if a single trace of the spring water were to flow out, the energy contained within would probably be enough to burn everything in the valley to ashes.
However, their worries were clearly a little superfluous. Under Gu Yuena's powerful elemental control, the spring water was as if it were being blocked by an invisible barrier, simply unable to escape in the slightest.
Time passed minute by minute. On the turbulent lake surface, two pillars of light suddenly shot up to the sky. The dazzling light made one subconsciously narrow one's eyes. After a few seconds, the light began to weaken, and two giant dragons that looked to be condensed from the lake water appeared before everyone.
Two figures then gradually manifested in the lake water.
"Roar—"
Suspended above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were two giant dragons condensed from the lake water, one entirely ice-blue, and one entirely scarlet. Both dragons' bodies were emitting a dazzling brilliance. They both let out a long dragon's roar at the same time. Although the two of them looked no different from the lake water, the energy they emitted far surpassed the original aura of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Heavens! It really is the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King!" The Snow Empress knew some of the secret stories of the dragon clan and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this moment.
The Dragon God had fallen in the Divine Realm. The nine great dragon lords each had their own encounters. Among them, the two great dragon lords, the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, had simultaneously fallen, and it was right here. Their corpses were buried ten thousand zhang below this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had also come from this, nourishing all things.
Even from such a great distance, Huo Yuhao could also clearly feel how terrifying the energy contained in the two giant dragons was. He rolled his throat slightly and looked at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena looked at the two giant dragons, her voice rarely carrying an excited emotion. "I never thought that the dragon souls of these two dragon kings of my dragon clan, who had fallen early on, would actually not have completely dissipated. It is truly an unexpected surprise..."
"Is it helpful to you?" Huo Yuhao smiled with satisfaction. This was naturally the surprise he had wanted to give to Gu Yuena.
"Mmm, their power is of some use to me. Their divine souls can help me recover my strength. And with their cooperation, my recovery can also be a little easier," Gu Yuena's beautiful pupils were already a little rosy. These two, back then in the dragon clan, were also famous dragon kings. In that war, they had actually been reduced to this.
In mid-air, the two circling water and fire giant dragon souls seemed to have suddenly paused for a moment. Immediately after, two lights and shadows had already descended from the sky, hovering at a place only about a hundred meters above their heads.
The previous terrifying pressure had instantly disappeared. A longing feeling was actually released from the dragon souls of the two great dragon lords of water and fire. And even more so, their emotions were full of excitement. They, as dragon souls, had originally also not had any wisdom, only some of their origin's abilities.
The bodies that these two giant dragons were now relying on were precisely the lake water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Under Gu Yuena's guidance, they immediately flew back to above the original lake surface and were re-injected into it. Only two small dragon souls that looked to be no more than two meters long were left, happily circling around Gu Yuena.
The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King were the incarnations after the fall of the Dragon God back then. What the Silver Dragon King had inherited was precisely the ability of the Dragon God's nine great elements. So, these ice and fire twin dragons, their auras themselves had a natural closeness to the Silver Dragon King, as if a child had seen their mother. For a time, a strong dragon clan's pressure fiercely suppressed the plant-system ferocious beasts until they couldn't move.
"This is for your companions to absorb together."
Gu Yuena, as she spoke, raised her hand and beckoned. A look of excitement flashed in the eyes of the two dragon souls, which were almost only left with their instincts. They impatiently rushed towards her.
"The energy of the two great dragon kings, even if it's just absorbing a single trace, for the current you and your companions, it is fatal. You should be glad that there are two dragon kings here, and they are also the ice and fire dragon kings with opposing attributes."
It's unknown what Gu Yuena had done. The two giant dragons continuously contracted in the process of rushing over, finally turning into two thumb-sized, one red and one white, round balls. On their surfaces were also deep, dragon-shaped patterns.
"This is... a dragon dan?"
