Chapter 105: That Wretch Has Found His Own Way to Die!
"As expected, it was artificially cultivated!"
The Ice Emperor transformed into her human form, her expression dark as she stared at the endless stretch of neatly arranged Bi Lin Flowers. Her small fists clenched tightly, producing cracking sounds.
These Bi Lin Flowers, nourished by the entire Sunset Forest, had all evolved into soul beasts. The weakest among them were the Seven-Leaf Bi Lin Flowers, and more than thirty percent had already evolved into Ten-Thousand-Year Bi Lin Nine-Leaf Flowers.
Hidden within the void, Di Tian's eyes nearly split apart in rage. He could only suppress the violent fury surging in his chest.
Bi Lin Flowers were exceedingly rare—across the entire Star Dou Great Forest, there might not even be ten of them in total. Yet here, there were tens of thousands. Aside from artificial cultivation, what other explanation could there be?!
Damn it, damn it all!
Just to conceal a treasured land, they sacrificed an entire habitat of my soul beast race, using the vengeful spirits of the fallen to hide the Eyes of Ice and Fire!
Tang San, this Emperor will remember you!
"Respected One, should we act now and destroy all these Bi Lin Flowers?" Ice Emperor's eyes glimmered with a cold, murderous light as she spoke in an icy tone.
To her, letting these flowers exist even one more second was torment to the souls of the Sunset Forest's fallen beasts. It made her, a soul beast queen with the power to save them, feel deeply ashamed.
Lin Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head. His expression was equally grim. With his Dragon Devourer innate ability, he could sense that the soul power beneath his feet was abnormally concentrated.
When he released his Boundless Vast Sea-level spiritual power into the soil to investigate, what he saw were countless glowing fragments.
Those fragments were all soul bones.
Perhaps, for the sake of this land that sustained them, the soul beasts of the Sunset Forest had once gathered together, trying to destroy the poisonous Bi Lin Flower formation that tormented them.
Yet the truth was cruel—they had failed. They were annihilated, reduced to ashes, leaving behind only their indestructible soul bones as proof they had once existed.
However, even those soul bones had mostly been corroded and devoured by the Bi Lin Flowers' poison, shattered into countless fragments.
Simply destroying the Bi Lin Flowers now seemed too wasteful. Lin Yun felt he might be able to make use of them, turning this misfortune into his own opportunity for growth.
"No, leave them for now. The Eyes of Ice and Fire are our priority. Once we secure them, we'll deal with these Bi Lin Flowers," Lin Yun said.
"Yes, Respected One." Ice Emperor naturally would not oppose him, though she dearly wished to cut down every flower in sight.
Thus, with Ice Emperor clearing the way, wherever they passed, the Bi Lin Flowers shriveled like withered morning glories, curling into themselves. Under her extreme cold, they were rendered completely powerless.
Even the colorful toxic mists floating in the air froze into crystalline shards. Within ten meters around Lin Yun, the air became piercingly cold yet astonishingly pure.
As the two advanced deeper, the Bi Lin Flowers grew sparser. Finally, after stepping past the last one, a steep cliff wall appeared before them.
Here, the faintly sweet and fishy scent of the Bi Lin Flowers completely vanished, replaced by a pungent sulfuric odor.
"This is the place. Let's go down," Lin Yun said, spreading his wings and leaping off the cliff. Ice Emperor followed closely behind, guarding his side.
The dark cliff wall seemed to twist and writhe with some unknown presence. The moment it sensed Lin Yun and Ice Emperor's aura, a massive shadow shot forth, sweeping toward them.
Lin Yun made no move. Ice Emperor merely gave a cold snort as a dazzling emerald light flared from her hand.
"Courting death!"
An overwhelming chill burst forth. The shadow attacking them froze solid in an instant, revealing its true form.
It was a strange vine, at first glance nearly indistinguishable from a giant serpent. Its form was eerie, but no matter how bizarre it appeared, before the Ice Emperor—an apex beast whose power rivaled that of a Level Ninety-Eight Super Douluo—it was nothing more than a fragile insect.
A fierce surge of soul power burst from the Ice Emperor's palm. The frozen vine shattered instantly, exploding into countless shards of glittering ice.
That was only the beginning. As Lin Yun and the Ice Emperor continued their descent, countless vines shot out from the cliff walls in relentless waves, striking toward them. Lacking any form of intelligence, these vines attacked purely on instinct, lashing at anything that drew near.
Annoyed by their persistence, the Ice Emperor raised her delicate fist. A dazzling emerald light erupted, striking the cliff with overwhelming force. In an instant, the entire mountainside froze into a massive block of solid ice.
The Ice Emperor's Wrath!
"Die!" she coldly declared.
The frozen cliff shattered with a thunderous crack. Every strange vine was obliterated—root and all—reduced to drifting frost and ice dust.
"Well done, Bing'er!" Lin Yun said with a smile, reaching out to rub her small head. The Ice Emperor's usual cold dignity vanished at once; her cheeks flushed red, and she rubbed her head lightly against his palm.
There was no trace left of the aloof ruler of ice she had been moments before.
With every obstacle cleared, Lin Yun and the Ice Emperor descended smoothly, landing safely at the base of the mountain wall.
The darkness faded away, and their eyes brightened. Before them lay a small lake radiating intertwined red and white light.
Cold and heat alternated—ice and fire coexisted.
This was one of the great treasures formed after the fall of the Ice and Fire Dragon King: the Eyes of Ice and Fire.
"The spring water there… it's reached the level of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire? That's impossible! How could the Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire exist in the same place—and even achieve such perfect balance?" The Ice Emperor was visibly stunned, rubbing her wide eyes in disbelief.
Her Ice Jade Scorpion clan had abandoned their equally powerful poison attribute long ago to reach the pinnacle of ice, earning the title of Ultimate Ice. She knew better than anyone the true might of that extreme element.
If ice and fire collided at such a level, the result could only be utter annihilation—the entire valley would be flattened. How could they coexist like this?!
When Lin Yun had spoken with Di Tian earlier, he had only mentioned that this was the Ice and Fire Dragon King's resting place, where many rare treasures of the Douluo Continent grew. He had never said anything about such an impossible phenomenon.
"This is divine power," Lin Yun murmured with awe. "Even after a god's fall, the power they leave behind remains beyond mortal comprehension."
Such a sacred land, yet that wretch dared to use it as his private garden. This was clearly the legacy of the Dragon Clan!
Hmph. To seize my clan's sacred ground—this wretch has found his own way to die!
