Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Fang Yang's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the Immortal Herb frozen before him. He softly uttered two words: "Ice Devour."
The crystal ice sculptures scattered across the valley shattered in response, a dense chorus of breaking sounds rising and falling. Countless cracks rapidly spread across the surface of the frozen Immortal Herb, fanning out like a spiderweb.
In an instant, all the Immortal Herb ice sculptures were reduced to dust.
Streams of pure energy ascended from the fragments, converging towards Fang Yang like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
These energies varied in color; some were emerald green, brimming with vibrant life.
Others were crimson like blood, surging with scorching aura, and some displayed a seven-colored glaze, all representing the Origin essence condensed by these Immortal Herbs over tens of thousands of years of Cultivation.
As the energy continuously poured in, Fang Yang's aura began to climb steadily.
He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and circulated the Burning Art, refining and absorbing all the incoming energy.
Gu Yuena stood silently beside him, her silver hair gently swaying in the breeze, her purple eyes reflecting Fang Yang's figure.
The lingering souls of the two great Dragon Kings, Ice and Fire, floated in the air, their Dragon eyes revealing unconcealed astonishment.
"Such a refining method is truly unheard of," the Ice Dragon King murmured, his voice tinged with shock.
The Fire Dragon King said in a deep voice, "As expected of the man chosen by our master, he is indeed extraordinary."
Just then, Fang Yang's aura suddenly retracted, as if a vast, deep sea had returned to calm.
He slowly opened his eyes, the flames swirling within them gradually receding, yet an unsettling power naturally emanated from him.
"These Immortal Herbs can help you improve, so their demise is not in vain," Gu Yuena said softly, a hint of a smile gracing her beautiful face.
Fang Yang nodded slightly, his gaze directed towards the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well: "Now, it's time for the main event."
"Alright, good."
Gu Yue responded, raising her hand, and a sphere of light emerged from her palm.
This was precisely the Dragon Valley World.
With a thought, a vast, ocean-like mental force surged forth, enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Collect!"
Gu Yuena lightly commanded.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well began to vibrate violently, its spring water surging ceaselessly.
Under the astonished gaze of the lingering souls of the two great Dragon Kings, Ice and Fire, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was uprooted, transforming into a red and blue intertwined stream of light, which was then absorbed into the Dragon Valley Small World.
Only a massive canyon, a hundred meters long and tens of meters wide, remained, with a bottomless abyss.
And in the deepest part of the canyon, two colossal Dragon skeletons lay quietly, one crimson like blood, the other ice-blue like jade, still exuding a terrifying Dragon might even after tens of thousands of years.
"This is... Dragon Valley?" The lingering soul of the Ice Dragon King fluctuated violently, his voice trembling.
The Fire Dragon King was equally overcome with emotion: "How many years has it been? Finally..."
Fang Yang looked down at the Dragon skeletons at the bottom of the canyon, his gaze profound: "Gu Yue, the Dragon skeletons of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, it's time to retrieve them."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's Dragon Valley light sphere slowly rotated, and a soft glow enveloped the Dragon skeletons at the bottom of the canyon.
Guided by the light, the two Dragon skeletons slowly rose, eventually disappearing into the light sphere.
"Thank you, Master!"
The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King hastily bowed, their Dragon eyes filled with gratitude.
"It's nothing."
Gu Yuena said indifferently, putting away the Dragon Valley World.
"We can leave now."
Fang Yang looked around, "But, we still need to leave a gift for the Tang Sect."
Gu Yuena nodded knowingly, silently watching Fang Yang.
"Absolute Zero."
Fang Yang lightly commanded, and his spirit power surged forth from within him.
A terrifying cold wave instantly spread out from him as its center.
This time, it wasn't just the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located, but the entire Sunset Forest that was instantly transformed into a frozen World.
Every tree, every leaf, was covered in a crystalline layer of ice.
The Fire Dragon King was dumbfounded, "Old Ice, this..."
"Terrifying beyond belief."
The Ice Dragon King commented, "Within this frozen everything, not only is there extreme ice, but also hidden extreme fire."
"Fang Yang, let's go," Gu Yuena said softly when she saw this.
"Okay."
Fang Yang took Gu Yuena's hand, and they exchanged smiles.
Gu Yuena's slender hand gently waved, and a silver light flowed from her palm, instantly enveloping everyone.
Space rippled, and their figures gradually blurred in the silver light, finally disappearing into the Sunset Forest, leaving behind only a frozen wasteland.
Not long after, the Tang Sect Disciples arrived one after another.
"W-What is going on here?"
Tang Sect Sect Leader Cao Dezhi and Vice Sect Leader Zang Xin stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.
Even the accompanying Tang Sect Elders and Disciples were stunned.
The entire Sunset Forest had transformed into a vast ice field, and the biting cold air assailed them, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Our Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well..." Zang Xin's face turned pale, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
Cao Dezhi forced himself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well cannot be lost."
"All Tang Sect Disciples, heed my command! Fully resolve the ice seal on the Sunset Forest and open a path to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
The Tang Sect Elders and Disciples all accepted the order and immediately took action.
"Husband... Dezhi, what exactly do you think happened?" Zang Xin asked worriedly, almost blurting out their private nickname in his haste.
Cao Dezhi frowned deeply: "Old... Xin, I don't know either."
"However, to be able to freeze the entire Sunset Forest, such methods are definitely beyond what an ordinary Titled Douluo can achieve."
"Then..." Zang Xin hesitated, his eyes filled with worry.
Cao Dezhi waved his hand, "The top priority is to unseal the ice and check the situation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I'm worried..."
"Mmm."
Zang Xin sighed heavily.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
"Ah—no! Elder... Sect Leader, save me!" Several Tang Sect Disciples suddenly let out shrill screams.
Beneath the ice they had just melted, streams of bone-white flames shot out.
These flames not only emitted an icy coldness but also contained terrifying high temperatures, instantly engulfing several Disciples.
What was even more terrifying was that these flames spread rapidly along the ice surface; wherever they passed, the ice not only did not melt but burned even more fiercely.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Cao Dezhi shouted, and nine spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, "This is extreme fire! Be careful!"
Zang Xin also released his Spirit, his expression solemn: "Fire hidden in ice, what a vicious method."
"This is to catch us off guard when we're trying to melt the ice!"
The Tang Sect Disciples hastily retreated, but the flames spread much faster than imagined.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen more Disciples were engulfed by the flames, turning to ashes amidst their screams.
"Let's work together."
Cao Dezhi made a decisive move, exchanging glances with Zang Xin.
"Okay."
The two Ultimate Douluo attacked simultaneously, their vast spirit power like towering waves, attempting to suppress the bizarre ice and fire.
However, these bone-white flames were extremely difficult to deal with, freely transforming between ice and fire, making it quite challenging for the two of them.
After a fierce battle, the frozen flames were finally gradually extinguished.
But the Tang Sect paid a heavy price: over thirty elite Disciples perished in the sea of fire, and several Elders were severely injured.
When everyone finally arrived at the original site of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, all that greeted their eyes was the bottomless giant canyon.
Cao Dezhi stood on the edge of the canyon, looking at the empty Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his fists unconsciously clenched.
"Who exactly..."
He murmured, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Zang Xin gently patted his shoulder and whispered, "This matter is definitely not simple."
"To be able to steal the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and lay such terrifying frozen flames, the opponent's strength is probably beyond our imagination."
Cao Dezhi remained silent for a long time, his gaze sweeping over the heavily damaged Tang Sect Disciples.
He finally let out a long sigh: "Pass down the order, today's events are to be listed as the highest secret of the Tang Sect; no one is allowed to spread it."
"At the same time, send more people to secretly investigate the powerful individuals who have recently appeared in the Sunset Forest."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
The remaining Tang Sect Disciples and Elders all responded, their voices betraying their fatigue and sorrow.
