Chapter 11: Yin-Yang Complement, Ice-Fire Body Training

"A Titled Douluo with poison attributes trying to use my Green Scale Poison Array to break through to level ninety-nine?"

"Should I…"

Through his divine sense, Tang San observed Du Bushi, who was in the midst of a breakthrough, with a chilling murderous intent in his eyes. However, after some thought, he abandoned the idea of attacking Du Bushi.

It wasn't out of benevolence but because he lacked confidence. Although this wisp of his divine sense could exert power surpassing a typical Ultimate Douluo, it couldn't reach the god level, making it impossible to instantly kill Du Bushi.

If Du Bushi failed his breakthrough and went berserk, detonating both his formed and unformed soul cores, Tang San wouldn't be able to stop it. The entire Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well would be destroyed by the explosion of Du Bushi's soul cores.

Such an outcome would be more loss than gain. Tang San wanted to monopolize the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, not destroy it.

"Very well, since becoming a god, besides Destruction, you are the first to put me in such a predicament," Tang San muttered darkly. "Occupying my treasure land, you are seeking your own death!"

After making his decision, Tang San didn't hesitate further. He released his divine sense, causing all the celestial herbs in the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well to fall into a deep sleep, then gathered them and tore through space to return to the Haotian Sect.

"Hmph... Whether or not you recognize these celestial herbs, I will not leave you a single one! Even if you break through, under my suppression, you will only have a lifespan of three to five hundred years. When you die, this place will still belong to me!"

"That is, if you are sensible enough not to reveal the location of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well…"

...

Meanwhile, back at the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, Du Bushi continued his breakthrough within the Green Scale Poison Array.

The two opposing soul cores were causing him immense pain. He finally understood why no one had ever successfully formed a Yin-Yang Complement second soul core.

The conflicting soul forces rampaged within his body, causing even his originally stable first soul core to start trembling.

A trembling soul core is a Titled Douluo's worst nightmare! Each soul core condenses the purest soul power of a Titled Douluo. If it goes out of control, it's akin to having a powerful Titled Douluo self-destruct within you!

Du Bushi had to split his focus three ways: suppressing the destabilizing first soul core, condensing soul power to form the second soul core, and absorbing the intense toxins from the Green Scale Poison Array to aid in forming the second soul core.

Adding to the complexity, this second soul core needed to be formed through opposing forces, increasing the difficulty significantly.

Had he not possessed a golden-level body martial soul with a second awakening, along with three ten-thousand-year soul rings and more than three ten-thousand-year soul bones, his body's exceptional strength far surpassing that of ordinary soul masters, he would have long perished.

Du Bushi struggled to maintain a delicate balance within his body, searching for the opportunity to break through to the ultimate level.

...

At the Ontology Sect.

After Du Bushi delivered the Fiery Gel and Ice Crystal, Du Qianjue wasted no time utilizing these celestial herb essences to begin his ice-fire body training.

If he had the complete Eight-Petal Ice Crystal and Fiery Apricot Delicate, he would have had to take both together, allowing their effects to neutralize each other within ten breaths and use the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well's hot and cold springs to achieve an ice-fire golden body.

However, using the Fiery Gel and Ice Crystal was different. These treasures, distilled from the ten-thousand-year essence of the two herbs, contained no toxins, only the purest medicinal properties.

It was unfortunate Du Qianjue didn't have an external soul bone, which would have been greatly enhanced by these herbs. But he didn't mind much; not having an external soul bone meant the herbs' effects would be entirely focused on his body.

Three days after Du Bushi began his breakthrough, Du Qianjue entered the secluded chamber where Du Bushi usually cultivated. This chamber was the most fortified area in the Ontology Sect, typically reserved for the sect master. As the future sect master, Du Qianjue had access to it.

Sitting on the cushion, Du Qianjue opened the two jade boxes, revealing the crystal-like Ice Crystal and the warm jade-like Fiery Gel. The soft red and blue glows made the chamber appear dreamlike.

Du Qianjue swallowed the Ice Crystal and Fiery Gel one after the other.

The medicinal power of the herbs erupted within him, red and blue streams flowing through his meridians and blood vessels, suffusing his entire body. His body martial soul instinctively activated, the pale gold essence gradually tinged with red and blue.

Time passed slowly.

As time went on, the red and blue lights began to contract, eventually forming a red-blue Taiji symbol in Du Qianjue's lower abdomen before fading into his body.

Training duration: three months!

During these three months, Du Qianjue's body was continuously bathed in the herbs' medicinal power, the ice and fire energies relentlessly strengthening his body and martial soul. His training results were even better than Tang San's from a thousand years ago!

This was due to the herbs' full effect on his young body; celestial herbs work best when taken early. Moreover, the Eight-Petal Ice Crystal and Fiery Apricot Delicate had reached ten thousand years, making their potency far superior to those of a thousand years ago.

Given these factors, Du Qianjue's body strength now rivaled that of an assault-type Soul King who had absorbed a fifth soul ring!

In the chamber, after three months of meditation, Du Qianjue opened his eyes, which glinted red and blue.

His body martial soul activated, and a white soul ring emerged from his feet, slowly floating around him, its color deepening from white to yellow, then purple, and finally settling on black!

Ten thousand years!

With his body's enhancement, the million-year soul ring began to release its sealed power, now functioning as a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Although Du Qianjue's soul power level remained at twenty due to not having obtained a second soul ring, he was certain it would surge once he acquired it!

"Ah... I've grown stronger again!" Du Qianjue smiled joyfully.

The effects of the ice-fire body training were visibly evident. With the Skydream Iceworm's assistance, Du Qianjue need not worry about the spiritual shock from absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, meaning his second soul ring could be a ten-thousand-year one directly!

"Hiss... Qianjue, what did you eat to enhance your body's strength to this level?" The Skydream Iceworm, waking from its long slumber, was shocked by Du Qianjue's bodily transformation.

"This effect rivals the Millennium Ice Essence I once consumed!"

The Skydream Iceworm was stunned but also elated. The stronger Du Qianjue became, the better his talent, the happier it was.

This was all foundational for godhood!
