Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 98 Guest or Enemy? Hehehe, Suppress them all!

The valley wasn't very large, yet it was teeming with all sorts of plants, their colors seemingly countless. Beautiful flowers vied for attention, and various plants bore abundant fruit. Many plants even radiated varying degrees of shimmering light, their extraordinary nature evident even to the naked eye.

Most strikingly, nestled amidst these plants, lies a strangely distinct lake.

"This...this place is truly a treasure trove! Such a rich life force and spiritual energy...even the core of the far north, or even the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, doesn't possess this...it's truly astonishing that such a treasure trove exists in the world..."

The Ice Emperor's voice, a mixture of surprise and excitement, echoed in her ears. The Snow Emperor's gaze swept around, finally settling on the area around the lake of ice and fire.

"This lake... has such strange energy. The fact that this place has transformed to such an extent seems inextricably linked to it..."

Compared to Hyotei, Yuki-tei was much calmer, but her eyes still couldn't hide her excitement.

No one could refuse such a treasure land. Even the strongest Limit Douluo in the world would be shocked by this place. Moreover, according to Shu Yan, this place seems to have an inextricable connection with the Seven Gods from ten thousand years ago.

Thinking of this, a flicker of emotion appeared in Xue Di's eyes.

Shu Yan looked around and saw all sorts of plants. The life force here was too strong, and many of them had even evolved into plant-type soul beasts.

Sensing the arrival of outsiders, many awakened plant-type soul beasts turned their attention to this area. Specks of light constantly lit up within their field of vision, and various colors came into view. Surprisingly, not a single plant-type soul beast had a cultivation level below ten thousand years. Many of them had cultivation levels of at least fifty thousand years, and there were even quite a few with even more powerful auras...

After a brief moment of shock, the four continued their descent and soon arrived at the spring below.

Before the four of them was a huge, pale pink hydrangea, leafless, with a stem nearly ten feet long and enormous flowers, over three feet in diameter. Each petal looked as clear and translucent as crystal. The pale pink flowers swayed gently in the mist. What was most striking was that these large, pale pink flowers grew on the bank where the red and white spring waters met, which was why they noticed them at first glance.

Within a radius of ten feet around this area covered with pale pink flowers, there were almost no other plants on the ground; it was completely bare.

"A 100,000-year-old fragrant fairy plant, this thing is the bane of all poisons. Its fragrance has the effects of refreshing the mind, invigorating the spirit, and neutralizing all poisons. This is why it can survive in this location."

Shu Yan took a gentle breath of the fragrance from the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, and his mind instantly became clear. His soul power seemed to settle down, and an indescribable sense of ease permeated his entire body. Even his control over his soul power seemed to have become much more refined in an instant.

Beside him, Xu Jiujiu also looked comfortable and enjoying herself. Xue Di and Bing Di breathed in the enchanting fragrance, and their expressions also seemed to be much more pleasant.

As the four continued to observe their surroundings, specks of red light suddenly appeared on the enormous pink petals of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb before them. The next moment, an invisible pink halo spread out, and at the same time, a clear and gentle female voice suddenly rang in their ears:

"Sigh~ It's been so many years since any human has come here. I never expected an exception today, and you even know their name and abilities!"

As it spoke, the enormous body of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item swayed gently, as if in surprise, and then a somewhat languid voice continued to emanate from it:

"I slept so well that I almost didn't want to wake up..."

"Oh wait, I almost forgot, I was supposed to introduce this place to you guys."

"I am the Fragrant and Elegant Immortal Herb, you can call me Youyou. This is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, one of the three great treasure lands of the mortal world. Hehe... It's been many years since any human has come here, and I'm almost bored to death. You four, keep me company and chat with me. See? Countless precious immortal herbs are growing here. If you talk to me more, maybe I'll take pity on you and give you some benefits?"

Shu Yan chuckled softly, then slowly stepped forward. Before the fragrant Qiluo Immortal could react, he directly pinched its pale pink petals, causing tiny ice crystals to solidify. Shu Yan's clear, cheerful voice rang out:

"Alright, since that's the case, why don't you all come with me? That way, you won't be lonely on your journey to the underworld..."

The moment Shu Yan's voice fell, Xue Di suddenly took a step forward.

Instantly, a terrifying soul force that seemed capable of crushing the heavens swept through every corner around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Countless plant-type soul beasts trembled and shrank back. Snowflakes slowly fell, and even the 100,000-year-old immortal herbs that had developed sentience were awakened. However, facing the Snow Emperor, whose strength had exceeded 700,000 years, these 100,000-year-old immortal herbs, which only possessed a high level of cultivation but had no combat experience, were no match for her. Faced with such pressure, they were already afraid before the battle even began, and they couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

"What...what do you want to do..."

The ethereal fragrance of the returning deity trembled as it asked, its originally gentle voice now tinged with fear. It sensed the aura of an unparalleled ferocious beast emanating from the Snow Emperor, a terrifying power capable of easily suppressing the combined combat strength of all the 100,000-year-old immortal herbs that had already developed consciousness.

The Ice Emperor's aura was no longer concealed. The two auras combined, and the ultimate ice permeated the surroundings. The 100,000-year-old raging fire, Xing Jiaoshu, and the cockscomb phoenix, Kui, which had already awakened, trembled. Although they were ultimate fires, their realms were too different. Facing the two Ice and Snow Emperors, they were completely suppressed, and even their own auras were extremely weak. For a moment, they gave off the feeling of middle school students being caught reading extracurricular books in class by the teacher.

As for the 100,000-year-old Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, it had even more unspeakable suffering. As it was also the ultimate ice, as long as a pure ice and snow emperor like the Snow Empress was present, it had even developed a sense of submission, so how could it dare to resist...

As for the other 100,000-year-old immortal herbs, they all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, for fear that they would be "ruthlessly destroyed" in the next second...

"You can't do this, he won't let you off the hook, and then..."

Before Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin could finish her terrified words, she was forced back to her original form by Bingdi's slap, and her voice disappeared completely.

"Pooh!"

"This woman talks more than I do, she's so annoying. I'll tell her to have some peace and quiet..."

Hyotei said dismissively, then continued to ask:

"Shu Yan, these guys are a bunch of useless trash, they pose no threat whatsoever. You handle things from here on out. I and Xue'er will back you up. Do whatever you want..."

Shu Yan's gaze swept over one hundred-thousand-year-old immortal herb after another, then he chuckled softly:

"As you know, I've always been a proponent of thrift and frugality. I always pack up leftovers after meals, and as for these things... naturally, they should be used to their fullest potential..."

"Hehehe..."

The three women of Xue Di looked at each other, feeling that Shu Yan's last burst of laughter didn't sound like that of a good person.

Is it an illusion, or...?
