The Goddess of Life abruptly broke free from the embrace of the God of Destruction, her emerald eyes widening in shock as she shook her head: "Pass it all on to him? Little Purple, you're insane!"
She stepped forward, her fingertips trembling slightly, her tone heavy: "You and I both know that life and destruction are inherently incompatible! Even though the end of life is destruction, and the end of destruction is rebirth, how difficult it is for these two forces to truly merge!"
"For thousands of years, countless powerful beings have attempted to merge the power of life and destruction, only to be torn apart by the two forces and reduced to nothingness, or..." The Goddess of Life paused, a complex look flashing in her eyes, "or defy the heavens and achieve the attribute of creation, becoming the strongest being that transcends any single attribute."
She gently stroked her lower abdomen, her voice lowered, filled with unspeakable regret: "We have been husband and wife for billions of years, but because of the extreme opposition between life and destruction, we cannot even bear children. Now, if we were to pass on the two divine king positions to a mortal at the same time, he would either be torn apart and die by the two forces, or... achieve a dual divine position that has never been seen in the divine realm before, and embark on a unique path of creation."
"This road is fraught with peril, with absolutely no room for error!"
Looking at her worried expression, the God of Destruction's cold face softened. He reached out and grasped her slightly cool fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "I know the risks are extremely high. But this child possesses the domineering power of extreme thunder, the vitality of extreme life, and a hidden destructive nature of ruthless killing. He is the only one who is qualified and has the potential to walk this path."
A glint flashed in the eyes of the God of Destruction, and he quickly patted his chest to assure him: "Even if his fusion fails, we can still intervene at the last moment to stop the inheritance. At that time, we will grant him a first-level godhood. We will never let him die in vain!"
The Goddess of Life frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded gently, agreeing, "Fine, let's do as you say and test this child's fate."
"Really? That's wonderful!" The God of Destruction was overjoyed. His cold and stern face vanished instantly, and he gripped the Goddess of Life's hand tightly like a child, his voice filled with excitement, "Thank you, my wife!"
The Goddess of Life shook her head helplessly at his appearance, a gentle smile appearing in her emerald eyes: "You are already the God-King who rules the God Realm, yet you are still so childish."
The God of Destruction chuckled without refuting, then stood shoulder to shoulder with the Goddess of Life, looking together at the dazzling light screen floating in front of them—the light screen clearly reflected the scene of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes of Douluo Continent, which was where Lin Chen was.
But when their gazes fell on the light screen, their smiles froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock and solemnity.
Within the light screen, Lin Chen convulsed violently, spiderweb-like blood-red cracks appearing on his body, blood seeping out and staining his clothes crimson. His breath was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, his life force rapidly draining away; he was on the verge of death!
"What's going on?!" The Goddess of Life's expression changed drastically, her emerald green hair trembled slightly, and she exclaimed in shock.
Before the light screen, the God of Destruction's expression changed drastically. He dared not delay for a moment, and quickly formed hand seals, sending pale gray destructive power into the light screen.
"Backtrack!"
With a low shout, the scene on the light screen rapidly reversed, instantly returning from Lin Chen's near-death state to the moment when he was still anxiously calling for the Goddess of Life.
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent, inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Lin Chen shouted until his throat was dry, but there was still no response in his mind. He finally stopped calling and patted his forehead helplessly.
"Surely not? I only hesitated for a second, and they just passed me over?"
He pursed his lips, feeling a pang of regret, but quickly accepted it. The inheritance of a divine position was a heaven-defying opportunity, something that couldn't be forced. Rather than wasting time here, he should seize the opportunity to improve his strength and prepare for the upcoming Title Douluo sent by the Spirit Hall.
After figuring it out, Lin Chen stopped worrying. He sat up straight cross-legged and glanced at the immortal herbs beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, finally settling on the rare and precious Chrysanthemum with its golden body and petals like sharp blades.
This herb can temper the physical body and strengthen bones, making it an excellent treasure for enhancing an indestructible body.
Lin Chen reached out and plucked the rare and precious chrysanthemum, then tossed it into his mouth without hesitation. It melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a pure golden medicinal power swept through his entire body, permeating every limb and bone. He channeled the medicinal power with the power of the Thunder God, and the golden light of his indestructible body shone even brighter. His bones emitted crisp crackling sounds, and the strength of his physical body visibly increased by one level!
After dealing with the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Lin Chen's gaze turned to the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass beside him. One was as red as flames, and the other as blue as jade; they were the two most precious treasures of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and the key to forging the Ice and Fire Chain Golden Body.
"I've done what I needed to do. The rest is up to fate."
Lin Chen muttered to himself, reached out and plucked the two immortal herbs together, swallowing them into his stomach.
In an instant, two extremely opposing medicinal forces erupted within his body!
Half of it was a blazing fire that could scorch mountains and boil seas, burning his meridians and flesh. Lin Chen's skin instantly turned red, as if it were about to be set on fire, and the air around him distorted. The other half was an extremely cold ice that froze thousands of miles away, freezing his blood and bones. Thick ice crystals instantly condensed on his body surface, and even his breath carried a bone-chilling cold.
The forces of ice and fire clashed wildly within his body, and excruciating pain swept over him like a tidal wave. Lin Chen trembled all over, but gritted his teeth and persevered.
He suddenly stood up, leaped into the center of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!
The scalding magma and the icy spring water enveloped his body at the same time. The power of ice and fire from the outside world and the power of the immortal herbs within his body blended perfectly, forming an ultimate tempering vortex.
Purple-gold lightning, emerald green life, crimson fire, and icy blue ice—four forces intertwined and collided within his body, slowly merging under the harmonization of the Thunder God's bloodline and ultimate life force.
Lin Chen could clearly feel that his physical body was undergoing a tremendous transformation! Muscle fibers were constantly reorganizing, becoming as hard as divine iron; meridians were widened several times over, and their resilience was far greater than before; bones were like divine weapons that had been forged a thousand times, radiating a faint precious light.
The body's resilience and strength are increasing at an alarming rate. Under the tempering of ice and fire power, the Vajra Indestructible Body is already striding towards the higher level of the Ice and Fire Chain Golden Body!
The medicinal power of the two immortal herbs was completely refined by Lin Chen, his aura surged, and his soul power broke through the shackles like a rushing river, steadily stepping into the level 50 Soul Master realm!
He felt the surge of power within him, a smile playing on his lips, but his gaze remained fixed on the unfathomable depths of the Ice and Fire Pool. Legend had it that this was the place where the Ice and Fire Dragon King had perished, his bones sinking to the bottom of the pool, thus giving birth to this extraordinary secret realm.
"Now that we're here, let's go to the bottom of the pool and find out what's going on."
Lin Chen took a deep breath, suddenly surfaced to breathe, and then circulated his soul power, enveloping his body in purple-gold lightning, before shooting down into the pool like an arrow.
Deep within the pool, the power of ice and fire grew increasingly violent, half scorching like purgatory, half icy like the depths of hell, with very faint light. Lin Chen channeled his soul power to resist the extreme temperature while simultaneously increasing his descent speed. After swimming an unknown number of meters, he finally touched the hard bottom of the pool.
He scanned the pool from side to side by the dim light, but found only smooth rocks and scattered crystals at the bottom. There was not a trace of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's remains, not even a single bone.
"That's not right..." Lin Chen wondered. "It's said that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was formed from the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, so why is the bottom of the pool empty?"
Just as he frowned in thought, a sudden tightness gripped his chest, and the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen instantly overwhelmed his entire body. He had been underwater for too long, and even with his soul power supporting him, his oxygen had long since run out.
"not good!"
Lin Chen dared not delay. He immediately turned around and urged all his soul power to swim frantically towards the surface of the water. Purple-gold lightning exploded in the water, propelling his figure like an arrow released from a bow, rapidly breaking through the intertwined ice and fire water, and speeding towards the light above.
The feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger, and his vision even began to go black. He gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to sprint upwards—he had to surface before he lost consciousness from lack of oxygen!
Lin Chen burst out of the water, his upper body slamming hard against the rocks at the edge of the pool. He clung tightly to the edge, his mouth agape, greedily inhaling the fresh air. His chest burned as if it had been scorched by fire. Cold pool water dripped from his hair, mingling with the cold sweat on his forehead. He coughed violently a few times before finally suppressing the feeling of suffocation.
After a long while, he regulated his breathing and looked down at the bottomless pool of water, where ice and fire intertwined. His eyes showed no sign of retreat, but rather a stubborn glint.
"I can't give up." He murmured to himself, his fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white. "A treasure of heaven and earth like the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, even if it's not the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, definitely has a core treasure hidden at the bottom of the pool. I must find it today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took another deep breath, filling his lungs to the brim. With a surge of spiritual power, he plunged into the pool again, rushing towards the dark bottom.
This time, he headed straight for the bottom of the pool on one side of the Fire Eye. His Blue Silver Domain expanded to its full extent, countless tiny Blue Silver Grass roots spreading out, probing inch by inch along the crimson rock wall, leaving no crevice unchecked. Purple-gold lightning flashed at his fingertips, dispelling the darkness, but no matter how thoroughly he searched every corner of the Fire Eye pool, he found nothing. His lungs were running low on oxygen again, so he could only grit his teeth, turn around, and rapidly ascend.
The moment he broke the surface, he gasped for breath again, having already exhausted most of his soul power. Strangely, with each dive, the extreme power of the Ice-Fire Pool became increasingly compatible with his physical body, and his newly forged Ice-Fire Chain Golden Body improved even further through this repeated tempering.
He didn't stop, only rested for a moment, then took another deep breath and plunged into the bottom of the pool on one side of the ice eye.
The water in the Ice Eye Pool was bone-chillingly cold. Even though he had already refined the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, he could still feel the chill that penetrated to his very bones. He still used his Blue Silver Domain to carefully scan every inch of the rock wall, and the lightning at his fingertips illuminated the dark blue bottom of the pool, but in the end, he still found nothing.
Rise to the surface, breathe, and then descend again.
Lin Chen plunged into the pool again and again, from the center to the edge, from the fire eye to the ice eye, almost turning the entire bottom of the Yin-Yang Well upside down. With each ascent, his breath grew weaker and his face paler, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
