Chapter 33: Elemental Power
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot.
One ice, one fire, containing the ultimate power of ice and fire.
Tang Jiu used his short-sword to cut it down the middle and stuffed the two immortal products into his mouth. The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass transformed into a force that gave extreme coldness and ran into Tang Jiu's body, causing his whole body to freeze with frost.
And after the Infernal Delicate Apricot entered his mouth, it transformed into an extremely hot force of flame, searing Tang Jiu's internal organs, wanting to roast him as if he was cooked.
"Ah~~~"
Tang Jiu hissed in pain, the power of ice and fire, raging through his body, Tang Jiu's body was just like the two ritual eyes of ice and fire, half ice blue and half vermilion.
The body was suffering the rampage of ice and fire every moment, but Tang Jiu didn't stop continuing to stuff herbs.
"This must not be enough to eat!"
Tang Jiu felt that if he ate all the herbs and other immortal products, he should be able to counteract the power of the ice and fire.
"What a madman!"
Dugu Yan held his forehead, he had already eaten like this, and he still wanted to continue eating, he really wouldn't stop until he killed himself.
"I think he's cultivating so hard, not letting go of any opportunity to become stronger!"
Ye Ling Ling, however, felt better and better about Tang Jiu. Tang Jiu's thirst for power and the effort he put into it was something that someone with a bland personality like her could never do. Ye Ling Ling held the Nine Hearts Begonia in her hand and gave her best effort to heal Tang Jiu.
A ray of healing light poured over Tang Jiu's body, pulling him back from the line of death again and again.
Cinnabar lotus, I'll eat!
The Erythrina Immortal, I eat!
I eat eat eat eat!
.....
Tang Jiu ninjaed the immense pain, with only one thought in his mind, one more bite and the pain would disappear, and he would fight poison with poison, and then become an invincible body of all poisons.
The ideal is rich, but the reality is skeletal!
After cutting and eating all the herbs in Dugu Bo's medicinal garden with leeks, Tang Jiu's situation was getting worse and worse, his leg spirit bones could no longer carry more toxins, which had invaded his meridians, blood and skin.
"I have to melt these poisons and find a place to carry them!"
Tang Jiu had the last trace of clarity in his mind, then his gaze locked on the two eyes of ice and fire, ice and fire are mutually exclusive, they can both exist in one pool, so what else can't be melted together?
With a poof, Tang Jiu jumped directly into the two eyes of ice and fire.
"Xiao Jiu!"
Ye Ling Ling exclaimed, the water in the Eye of Ice and Fire was as hot as lava, so she would be dead if she went down there.
At this moment, Ye Lingling seemed to have lost something in her heart, it was so hard!
Dugu Yan's turquoise pupils were also filled with sighs, this one little brother made himself dead, too bad!
"Not dead, Xiao Jiu must not be dead!"
Ye Ling Ling stubbornly bit her red lips before releasing her healing spirit technique towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang well.
"Ling Ling! Don't make it hard for yourself!"
"No, he's not dead!"
Ye Lingling was unmoved and continued to heal .....
.......
Tang Jiu felt even more terrifying ice and firepower, compared to the Ying and Yang Well, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot are nothing, they are after all only immortal grasses bred by the treasure land, rather it is the ice and firepower attached to the treasure land itself that is the most overpowering presence in heaven and earth!
Tang Jiu sat right at the dividing line between the ice and fire springs, receiving this even more overbearing baptism of ice and fire.
In a second, the meridians in Tang Jiu's body were destroyed to the sheds.
"Cursed Seal of heaven! Open!"
Tang Jiu knew he had to use the Cursed Seal of Heaven that could change the form of his flesh and restructure his meridians before he could melt the power of ice and fire.
This time, Tang Jiu's hair was no longer silvery-white but was stained by the power of ice and fire, turning half blue and half red.
When the wings on his back fused with his ant legs to become black bat wings, Tang Jiu's body could finally withstand the rush of this ice and firepower.
And it was at this time that the medicinal properties of the herbs eaten began to come into play, turning them into pure energy that helped Tang Jiu melt the power of ice and fire, while Ye Lingling's healing light was also absorbed by Tang Jiu's bat wings.
Finally, Tang Jiu was free from the threat of instantly exploding his body.
The red cloud seal of the Cursed Seal of Heaven began to frantically absorb the power of ice and fire for melting, and with the medicinal power of the medicinal herbs Tang Jiu had swallowed, he began to repair and reshape Tang Jiu's meridians.
This time, Tang Jiu clearly felt the meridians in his body split into two sets of cycles, one set of cycles in which the spiritual power was bone-chillingly cold, and one set of cycles in which it was as hot as fire.
And in the end, the ice and fire forces met at Tang Jiu's brow, forming a spinning seal of ice and fire compatibility, similar to a taiji fish.
And at this moment, Tang Jiu finally no longer felt pain.
The power of ice was no longer so bone-chillingly cold, but cool and soothing.
The power of fire, too, was no longer so heart-burning, but warm and balmy.
The red clouds of the Heaven's Curse Mark on Tang Jiu's body also slowly crept up to his bat wings, but now the Heaven's Curse Mark was no longer simply red, it turned ice blue on one batwing and fire red on the other.
The bat wings moved gently in rhythm, the one with the ice blue spell mark actually condensed a bit of ice crystal, while the one with the fire red spell mark actually fanned out a wisp of flame.
"This is elemental power!"
Tang Jiu was stunned, an elemental power that could only be useful to elemental-type martial spirits, and he had just given it a whole lot?
But when he thought about it, it was right, he had eaten so many many precious herbs, and with the refinement of the Ying and Yang Well, it wasn't surprising that he absorbed the elemental power of ice and fire in the state of the Cursed Seal of Heaven and the Evil Ring Devouring Ants.
Wait, didn't I come here to cultivate invulnerability to all poisons?
Tang Jiu didn't feel that he was invulnerable to all poisons, only that his poison resistance was higher and he could suppress the toxins within his leg spirit bones, other than that there was no difference!
The body of invulnerability to poison had not been cultivated, but instead, he had acquired the elemental power of ice and fire.
"Forget it, even Poison Douluo Bo was nearly poisoned to death, perhaps there is no such thing as being invulnerable to all poisons, it's better to inject the toxin into the spirit bone to be the right solution."
Tang Jiu eventually gave up on the unreliable idea of being invulnerable to all poisons, and used the ice and firepower here to consolidate his understanding of the ice and fire elements, and use the majestic medicinal power stored in his body to temper his body.
The meridians he reshaped are getting wider and wider, and the ice and firepower contained in them are getting thicker and thicker ...
...
Time passed by minute by minute.
Ye Lingling finally exhausted the last of her spirit power and leaned softly into Dugu Yan's arms, she could feel that Tang Jiu's life-breath was still there and much stronger than before.
And just at this moment, a cold, piercing voice with endless anger rang out.
"Girl, can you explain to grandpa what is happening here!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling instantly felt a chill run through their bodies and their necks stiffened as they turned around, Dugu Yan squeezed out a smile that was worse than crying and said, "Grandpa, this is none of my business, can you believe it?"
"What do you say?"
Dugu Bo, who was dressed in turquoise robes and had even more evil turquoise pupils than Dugu Yan, spoke through his teeth, he wasn't just going out for a day to see that his medicinal garden was cleaner than his cheeks!
"It seems that I have been too indulgent with you, there must be a limit to your nonsense!"
Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yan with his big hand, ready to give this granddaughter a good beating.
"It's really none of my business, Grandpa, it's all Xiao Jiu's doing!"
Dugu Yan's eyes looked like the little flower cat that reported the demolition of the family.
"Xiao Jiu?"
"Yes, his full name is Tang Jiu! I met him during this spirit hunt, he said he wanted to see grandpa's medicinal garden, so I brought it to him, and he ended up wrecking the place like this, it's really none of my business!"
Dugu Bo glared fiercely at Dugu Yan before he grunted, "Tang Jiu, is he from the Clear Sky Sect?"
"No, he does claim to be Tang Hao's son, but he doesn't have a Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit." Dugu Yan explained.
"Whether it's someone from the Clear Sky Sect or not, I will never forgive him!"
Dugu Bo's voice was so cold that it scared Dugu Yan into shutting up, and Ye Lingling was also silent, secretly worried about Tang Jiu, and was thinking about how to plead with Dugu Bo later.
Dugu Bo's turquoise pupils suddenly turned cold, slowly sweeping a circle, finally locking his gaze on the two rays of ice and fire, at this moment, he was shocked.
Someone had dared to jump in here, and most crucially, without dying!
Just as Dugu Bo was considering whether to force out Tang Jiu.
Wow! ~~
The spring churned, and Tang Jiu finally completed the final tempering of his body and slowly rose out of the spring.
The moment Tang Jiu rose out of the spring, the spring water splashed everywhere, the icy cold water could condense frost when it touched the rocks, making the heads freeze and crack after a few moments, while the vermillion spring water touched the trees, immediately causing them to dry up and die.
But the crowd's eyes were fixed on Tang Jiu.
With red and blue hair, a pair of black bat wings on his back, crawling with red and blue spell marks, and a slowly rotating ice and fire mark on his brow, he looked extraordinarily mysterious.
This appearance of Tang Jiu directly stunned the crowd.
Even the knowledgeable Poison Douluo couldn't help but be secretly shocked at what an evil, bizarre aura this was!
"Xiao Jiu, why have you turned into this?" Dugu Yan exclaimed in shock.
Tang Jiu slowly opened his eyes and laughed loudly, "This is my final battle form!"
"You're still hiding your strength, this is too demonic!" Dugu Yan's mouth opened wide, originally thinking that the Evil Ring Devouring Ant was Tang Jiu's hidden bottom card, but he didn't expect Tang Jiu to still turn into this!
Was this still human?
"Daring to come to my old man's place to spill the beans, you do have some reliance, this talent of yours makes me sigh in awe, however, you should also be prepared to let me beat you to death!"
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Only then did Tang Jiu notice Dugu Bo, and said to Dugu Yan without good grace, "Yanzi, you're too ungrateful, didn't you say that your grandfather went out? You're definitely setting me up!"
"Righteous my ass, you said you came to visit, is that how you visited?" Dugu Yan glanced across at Tang Jiu, you kid finally know how to be afraid?
"Poison Douluo Bo, I've heard a lot about you, I just came to cut the grass for your medicinal garden, look how neat and tidy it is, no thanks, I'll leave first!"
Tang Jiu smiled at Dugu Bo, then turned around and ran.
Dugu Bo's nose was about to be crooked, he had given a bald lift to all his herbs and still said it was neat and tidy, the old man wants to 'thank you' properly!
"I'll cut you off too, it should be more justified then!"
The turquoise blue-scaled snake emperor martial spirit appeared behind Dugu Bo, and nine spirit rings directly lit up on Dugu Bo, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
With a swing of his fist, a turquoise spirit power crashed towards Tang Jiu.
"Grandpa! Be merciful with your hands." Dugu Yan's face changed, he had thought that grandpa was just teaching him a lesson, but he didn't expect him to call his martial spirit directly, this was a deadly attack!
Tang Jiu felt the overwhelming spirit power crushing from behind him, and with a pungent fishy stench, he immediately realized that Dugu Bo was truly angry.
He didn't dare to be arrogant, and with a tremor of his bat wings, the power of ice mobilised and immediately condensed into a huge ice wall in front of him.
Bang! ~
The turquoise spirit power rushed towards the ice wall, and without even pausing for a second, it smashed through the ice wall and continued to rush towards Tang Jiu.
Tang Jiu's bat wings shook once more, and another flame ray erupted.
Boom! ~
The turquoise spirit power weakened a little, but it still rushed towards Tang Jiu.
Tang Jiu saw that he couldn't dodge it, and his bat wings wrapped around his body like a silkworm chrysalis to resist it hard, the turquoise spirit power loaded hard on Tang Jiu's body, and the huge impact caused Tang Jiu to smash against the cliff wall.
However, when the bat wings opened, Tang Jiu was unharmed, only the bat wings were tainted with much turquoise poisonous mists.
"Good boy, although it was just a casual strike from my hand, even a level 60+ Spirit Emperor would have been seriously injured by a single strike! You are actually unharmed!"
Dugu Bo was truly shocked, the power of ice and fire fused in one, this was rare, but this kid could even resist his own poison hard, this strength took his breath away.
"Now, if you obediently come over and let old me break both your legs, old me can spare your life!"
"Heh! ~You really think I'm stupid? You'll still kill me if I go over there! You'd better beat up Yanzi first when you have time, so I'll leave first!"
Tang Jiu's bat wings shook as he turned around and flew away.
Dugu Yan jumped in anger, this unscrupulous bastard!
"Grandpa beat him up! Make sure to break his legs!"
Dugu Bo turned back and glared fiercely at Dugu Yan before stamping his foot on the head of his own Martial Spirit, the Scaled Snake Emperor, who flew towards Tang Jiu like a dragon snake.
"Kid, I'm afraid you don't know that the Titled Douluo can fly! You can't get away, now I've changed my mind and will break your limbs!"
Tang Jiu laughed loudly, "Great Snake, you want to chase me? In another life!"
As he said that, his speed increased sharply and he quickly distanced himself from Dugu Bo. He was the equivalent of a flight system, so how could Dugu Bo's airborne flight speed match his?
A snake?
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both sucked in a breath of cold air, Tang Jiu was simply crazy! He dared to give the Titled Douluo a nickname!
"Kid, it looks like I still need to pull out your tongue!"
Dugu Bo's face was dark and frightening, that junior didn't respectfully call him Senior, and those of equal status to him also called him Old Poison, but this Great Snake .... is too unpleasant to hear!
"Jade Phosphorous Snake Emperor Poison!"
Dugu Bo's black spirit ring lit up, and the turquoise scaled snake emperor under his feet opened its mouth and spat out a wave of poisonous qi.
Tang Jiu was not afraid, back then, Jiu Douluo's flying dagger was much faster than this, he would be able to dodge it, and four years ago, he was only level 22, now his spirit power had increased significantly, and he also had two more black spirit rings that increased his attributes, his speed had more than doubled.
Tang Jiu's bat wings shook and his body dodged with exceptional agility in the air, easily dodging Dugu Bo's spirit skill.
Then with a backhand was a newly acquired cold ice ability.
"Ice Seal!"
Dugu Bo and its Snake Emperor were frozen into a huge ice sculpture in a flash.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were frozen, it seemed that even though Dugu Bo had just used his spirit technique, he hadn't been able to take down Xiao Jiu, this was simply too unbelievable!
Dugu Bo was also a bit confused, apparently, he couldn't quite accept that he, a Titled Douluo, had failed to kill Tang Jiu in seconds, but instead let his opponent's locking skill freeze him, even though the freeze couldn't even confine him for a second, so maybe Tang Jiu did counterattack!
Dugu Bo only felt his face being slapped.
"Good boy, if you were on the ground, I could slap you to death in less than a minute!"
"Too bad this is in the sky! Great Snake, you can't even catch up, so how can you hit me?" Tang Jiu laughed heartedly.
It was the great snake again!
Dugu Bo's eyes went cold as he angrily said, "Little bastard, you've really angered me!"
"Spirit Bone Technique, Medusa's Gaze!"
Dugu Yan's face changed, this was Grandpa's great move! It has the ability to petrify people.
