Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor

At this moment, the two immortal herbs of ice and fire began simultaneously absorbing and releasing soul power from the external world, causing slight ripples in the pool water. The properties of ice and fire intertwined and transformed.

Chen Ming engraved his comprehension onto his soul ring, then used his spiritual energy to stimulate his inner essence, igniting his vitality. Temporarily, he activated the ice and fire attributes obtained from absorbing Red-Eyed Ice Toad's fourth soul ring.

Chen Ming's scorpion tail, more dexterous than fingers, moved swiftly. In an instant, he used the appropriate tool to cut down the two immortal herbs and quickly pulled them in front of him.

The two herbs merged, and the extreme cold and heat began to neutralize each other. Chen Ming opened his mouth wide, swallowing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass in one gulp, then consuming the fiery cabbage-like Infernal Delicate Apricot in three bites.

Under the nervous yet expectant gaze of Dugu Bo, Chen Ming directly jumped into the pool of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The extreme cold and intense heat flowed within the pool. Although the pool water appeared ordinary, the elemental power it contained was extraordinarily potent.

The extreme cold was even purer than what Chen Ming had felt in the Extreme North, while the intense heat reminded him of molten iron.

Pain began to sprout within Chen Ming and gradually grew.

Under the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs, Chen Ming would not be completely disintegrated by the pool water and could even undergo a metamorphosis. However, the agony of having every bone shattered and every inch of flesh torn apart was not diminished in the slightest.

At first, the physical pain nearly caused Chen Ming to lose consciousness. Yet, as the pain intensified, he found himself seemingly unaffected by it. More accurately, he no longer cared about the physical pain.

Even though his body was undergoing a process of breaking and reforming, Chen Ming's soul seemed to be liberated at this moment. Under his control, the latent ice and fire attributes within his martial soul gradually became part of him, evolving toward the Ultimate.

With the liberation of his soul, Chen Ming sensed a law he had never noticed before within the pool.

If one were to describe it, it was something even more fundamental than laws, something that transcended the remnants left behind by an existence beyond the Douluo World.

After Chen Ming perceived these two types of law, they, in turn, became aware of him. These profound principles surged into Chen Ming's soul, forcibly opening his fourth soul ring, cleansing much of its laws, and then filling it with their essence.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain in Chen Ming's body had dissipated, and his golden body had been tempered. The transformation of his fourth soul ring was also nearing completion.

At this moment, Chen Ming's storage soul tool near the pool began to tremble under Dugu Bo's anxious gaze. A green light shot out from the ring, destroying the storage soul tool in the process and scattering its contents.

The green light surged into the pool, where the attributes of ice and fire began refining it.

The item releasing the green light was the dragon core that Qian Renxue had sent to Chen Ming. Through Chen Ming's long-term refinement, this blank dragon core had been completely marked with his imprint.

Perhaps due to Chen Ming's current metamorphosis, the dragon core also gained an opportunity to evolve.

Previously, the dragon core was vaguely spherical, but under the polishing of the ice and fire attributes, it became increasingly smooth and rounded, even exuding traces of vitality as if it were a living being.

If the dragon core had previously been merely an external converter, at this moment, it had undoubtedly become an extension of Chen Ming's body.

"Roar—!"

"Roar—!"

Two deep dragon roars echoed from the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The pool water surged violently. Amid the turbulence, two transparent miniature dragons slowly rose from the bottom of the pool.

Over time, the two dragon souls had long lost their self-awareness, leaving only the instincts embedded deep within their dragon essence.

One blue and one red miniature dragon circled around Chen Ming, then split apart. Part of their essence flowed into the dragon core, while the rest entered Chen Ming's body.

These two streams of power coursed through Chen Ming's body, enhancing it. Finally, they settled in his shoulders, merging into his arms and leaving behind a blue and a red dragon pattern. Simultaneously, they further strengthened the ice and fire attributes of Chen Ming's martial soul, pushing them toward their ultimate forms.

The portion of power that flowed into the dragon core refined and revitalized it, not only repairing the damage it had suffered during the heavenly tribulation but also further perfecting and enhancing it.

The dragon core, now in a state of surpassing perfection, emitted golden rays of light within the pool before suddenly plunging into Chen Ming's body, heading straight for his middle dantian.

That space was already occupied by the soul core formed from the Star Luo Holy Pearl.

Two soul cores couldn't coexist in the middle dantian. The moment the dragon core entered, Chen Ming felt his middle dantian on the verge of shattering due to the repulsion between the two cores.

At that instant, Chen Ming focused all his mental energy and unleashed his spiritual power without reservation.

The Yin-Yang energy of the Ice and Fire Well was absorbed by the soul core formed from the Star Luo Holy Pearl, which, tainted with a golden hue from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, began evolving visibly toward the form of a golden core.

When it reached a semi-illusory, semi-solid state, Chen Ming manipulated the golden core soul core to become intangible and slowly moved to the lower dantian.

Normally, any damage to a soul core would be enough to seriously injure a Title Douluo, and transferring a soul core was simply unheard of. However, Chen Ming's unique circumstances had long surpassed the bounds of common sense.

As the golden core soul core vacated its position, the dragon core immediately took its place, absorbing the ice and fire energy from the pool to generate endless vitality.

Although Chen Ming took great care during the transfer process, the semi-illusory golden core soul core still tore through many meridians and inflicted damage on his internal organs.

Yet within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the dragon core acted as an infinite source of energy. The moment his meridians and organs were torn apart by the golden core's soul power, the damage was instantly repaired by the dragon core's boundless life force.

In this manner, under intense pressure, Chen Ming successfully transferred the golden core soul core to the lower dantian, while the dragon core occupied the position in the middle dantian.

Once both the golden core and dragon core settled into place, a faint connection emerged between the two.

By this point, the dragon core in Chen Ming's middle dantian could no longer simply be called a dragon core. It had become his second soul core.

However, unlike the Star Luo Holy Pearl-based golden core soul core, which represented soul power attributes, the dragon core soul core symbolized vitality.
