Chapter 22 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! Hamorlet Reaches the Limit!
The moment the Dragon King Douluo appeared, his powerful soul force pressure spread out instantly. Everyone below looked up at the majestic figure atop the dragon's head.
Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and the others were filled with astonishment.
When Yu Yuanzhen saw the giant dragon beneath Hamorlet's feet, he felt a deep-seated fear, his heart felt like it was being gripped, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
The patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the number one beast spirit in the world, was now devoid of any arrogance.
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils shrank, and he suddenly exclaimed, "A separated beast spirit? How is this possible?!"
Hamorlet showed no signs of a beast spirit fusion; he was wearing nothing more than an ordinary chef's robe.
Separated dragon beast spirits had appeared in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan before, but those were mostly due to mutations in the spirit—his good-for-nothing son, Yu Xiaogang, was one such example.
He had studied martial souls and proposed the theory that all dragon-type separated beast martial souls were useless.
Yet the person before him also possessed a separated beast martial soul, but had cultivated to the pinnacle of the soul master world!
A barely perceptible glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. Her lips parted slightly as she murmured, "How is this possible! This person looks no more than 40, yet his cultivation is only a step away from my grandfather's!"
As the young master of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue knew the level of her grandfather's cultivation, which was why she was so surprised. The Lord of the Holy Court could actually cultivate such a powerful expert!
Ning Fengzhi swallowed hard, his gaze lingering on Hamorlet for a moment. "Just how many powerful experts are there within the Holy Court..." The Holy Court was undoubtedly number one on the Heavenly Ranking!
Ning Fengzhi made a decision in his heart that went against his ancestors' wishes.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were fortunate enough to become an affiliated sect of the Holy Court, what was there to worry about in the sect's stability?
High in the sky, Hamorlet wore a faint smile. "Grand Steward Muse, what are your orders?"
Muse flashed and landed beside Hamorlet, saying, "The Holy Lord has ordered that we two go to Sunset Forest to wait."
Upon hearing this, Hamorlet connected his thoughts with the Dragon King and flew towards Sunset Forest at full speed.
Only after Hamorlet had gone far away did the tremor in Gu Rong and Yu Yuanzhen's hearts dissipate.
Ning Fengzhi snapped out of his daze and noticed the two men's appearance. He asked anxiously, "Uncle Gu, Sect Master Yu, what happened to you?"
Gu Rong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a long sigh, and shook his head with a smile. He said, "That person's martial soul bloodline was too terrifying. Both Old Dragon and I were suppressed by him."
"Oh!?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened in disbelief. "That expert could suppress you both in terms of martial soul strength!"
Yu Yuanzhen nodded, feeling dejected.
His proud Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan bloodline had become nothing more than a roadside nub. In just two days, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul theory had been overturned twice!
This son of his was truly misleading others. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach him a lesson!
Yu Yuanzhen suddenly paused, muttering, "If I could get guidance from that expert, perhaps I could also break through to that level..."
Hamoret's cultivation was profound; the speed at which he could control the Dragon King was even faster than Muse's spatial soul power.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two arrived at Sunset Forest.
Jiang Che and Dugu Bo were already waiting there.
Hamorlet withdrew his martial spirit and landed in front of Jiang Che along with Muse, bowing respectfully, "Holy Lord."
"Hmm." Jiang Che nodded slightly, looking at Dugu Bo, "Lead the way."
The dragon bloodline naturally suppressed snakes, and upon seeing Hamorlet, Dugu Bo felt an even stronger sense of unease.
Dugu Bo suppressed his fear, gave Hamorlet a deep look, and then said to Jiang Che, "Please follow me, Holy Lord."
"Hmm..."
After passing through the forest, a small valley came into view.
The valley was not large, and it was filled with strange herbs; at a glance, most of them were not even recorded.
In the center of the valley was a spring, its outline oval, half ice-blue and half crimson, the two colors of water clearly distinct.
Two lives in one glance, two opposing forces.
This place is one of the three great treasure troves of the mortal world, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
"Holy Lord, as agreed, this Medicine Valley belongs to you."
"However, you saved my granddaughter's life. If the Holy Lord ever needs me, I will be at your service."
Dugu Bo cupped his hands to Jiang Che and said in a deep voice.
Dugu Bo harbored selfish motives; if he could cultivate a closer relationship with this Holy Lord, even doing errands would be very rewarding.
Jiang Che smiled and nodded, "Alright, Poison Douluo can go back now. I have some matters to attend to, so please excuse me for not seeing you off."
Dugu Bo bowed again and then quickly walked out of the valley.
Hamorlet silently surveyed the valley for a few moments, then looked at Jiang Che with some curiosity and asked, "Holy Lord, what brings you here that you need me to do?"
Jiang Che smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm offering you a great opportunity; let's see if you can seize it." He then looked at Muse and said, "Go outside and keep watch. Without my order, don't let even a fly in."
Muse bowed and turned to leave the cave.
Only Jiang Che and Hamorlet remained in the valley.
Jiang Che walked to the shore, looked at the lake, and slowly said, "This place is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, a treasure basin formed by heaven and earth."
"The life force here is several times that of the outside world, nurturing countless medicinal herbs."
Hearing this, Hamorlet suddenly understood, "No wonder there's this wonder of the Ice and Fire Spring."
His cultivation was profound, and he immediately sensed just how terrifying the power contained within these two springs was.
The Ice and Fire Spring water was extremely cold and extremely hot, and the water had extremely strong corrosive properties.
If a low-level Soul Master touched this spring water, they would likely perish instantly, with no chance of survival.
"With the life force of hundreds of outsiders, this place is practically a paradise on earth."
Jiang Che nodded slightly, pointed to the spring, and continued, "Indeed, but the true treasure lies beneath the surface of this lake."
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was created by the remains of the legendary son of the Dragon God, the Ice and Fire Dragon King."
"Part of their power resides within their bones. If you can absorb it all, it will definitely enhance your cultivation."
Hamorlet nodded vigorously and said, "This subordinate is willing to try."
With that, he summoned his Martial Soul—one yellow, two purple, five black, and one red! Nine Soul Rings circled around his body.
In almost an instant, Hamorlet completed the Martial Soul Possession state.

Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go."
As soon as Jiang Che finished speaking,
Hamorlet suddenly stood up and jumped into the spring.
In an instant, the sensations of freezing and burning spread throughout his body. He dared not delay, circulating all his Soul Power to envelop his body and rushing towards the bottom of the lake.
Immediately afterward, two dragon skeletons appeared before Hamorlet—the very Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Jiang Che had mentioned.
"I beg you two Dragon Kings, help me reach my limit!"
Hamorlet roared, beginning to plunder the soul power within the skeletons and integrate it into himself.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' soul power, once absorbed, gradually swirled within his body.
After an unknown amount of time, the power finally stabilized, condensing into a soul core!
The shackles that had been troubling Hamorlet were thus broken!
