Chapter 28: Immortal Herbs: "No, is Tang San that weak?"
Inside Sun Moon Royal Academy, sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the spacious and bright room. Jin Tianming was engrossed in carving a core array, his engraving knife moving like a nimble Spirit, leaving delicate and mysterious marks on the material.
Just then, Jin Tianming suddenly felt a peculiarity, as if an invisible force was pulling at his attention.
He stopped what he was doing, furrowed his brow slightly, and gazed thoughtfully at the unfinished core array before him.
A moment later, Jin Tianming slowly closed his eyes, sinking his consciousness into the unfathomable Spirit Sea. As his consciousness fully merged with it, he was astonished to find that the Spirit Sea, which had been as calm as a mirror, was now stirred by immense waves!
A dragon soul, shimmering with silver light, abruptly appeared in the center of the Spirit Sea. It bared its fangs and claws, emanating a formidable aura that sent shivers down the spine. Even more shocking was that this silver dragon soul seemed to be frantically absorbing the endless influx of ice and fire energy. That ice and fire energy, like surging tides, converged towards the dragon soul at an astonishing speed.
As the ice and fire energy continuously poured in, the silver light on the dragon soul became increasingly dazzling, and its size began to gradually swell. At the same time, the entire Spirit Sea was agitated by this powerful energy fluctuation, stirring up waves of astonishing magnitude.
"This destiny!"
Upon seeing so much destiny gushing from his Engulfing Sky Dragon's Spirit Sea, Jin Tianming exclaimed, "That's really a lot!"
As his voice fell, he slowly extended his palm and began to absorb this destiny, ensuring that the destiny within his Engulfing Sky Dragon's body would not excessively overflow.

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the dragon soul stood there, toying with Tang San's divine soul, which had transformed into a blue crystal ball. His gaze remained fixed on the little fellow at the bottom of the spring. Seeing that the little fellow's destiny was very stable and not overflowing, he was somewhat surprised.
He looked at Mo Yan beside him. "You two cooperate quite well."
The destiny on the little fellow was in a very subtle state, able to both resist the living dead cells and, to a certain extent, promote the growth of this little fellow.
"Now that it's just me, aren't you going to tell me why you chose him?" Mo Yan still looked at the dragon soul, who was identical to the Engulfing Sky Dragon, with a hint of persistence.
The dragon soul stared deeply at Mo Yan's exquisite and flawless face, responding with a smile, "Sometimes curiosity kills the cat, you know~"
"But it's not a big deal. I said it was a move I made out of boredom, wanting to see if the person I invested in could turn the tide of the entire World."
"If this little fellow didn't have me, he would have already died." The dragon soul's gaze met Mo Yan's, which lacked any hint of laziness. "You not only inherited his lazy personality, but also those memories. You should know better than I."
After Mo Yan heard the dragon soul's words, she seemed to grasp the underlying meaning. "I understand."
Indeed, she had been a bit too suspicious.
If he wanted to scheme against the Engulfing Sky Dragon, why waste so much time? It was she, Mo Yan, who had been overthinking.
Seeing that Mo Yan seemed to understand, the dragon soul continued, "To be honest, the little fellow is more cautious than anyone. When he entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he was prepared for a near-death experience. At that time, I had intended to intervene, but in the end, I didn't expect him to win."
"This time, for seizing opportunity and destiny, he also made thorough preparations. I truly underestimated him."
"How so?" Mo Yan's interest was piqued when she heard this.
The dragon soul seemed to be immersed in the ocean of memories, and it was a long time before he came back to his senses, sighing, "If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have the courage to entrust their destiny to a Dragon Slave, yet he dared to act this way. What kind of courage is that! And those selfish individuals would rather tightly embrace their destiny, even if it's completely exposed, the destiny would still guard the person who obtained it like a loyal protector."
This was a fact; destiny was inherently unpredictable. When someone obtained destiny, they also gained its protection. As long as they encountered nothing that exceeded the scope of that destiny, it would protect that person.
He looked at the little fellow in the lake water beneath his feet, a smile on his face: "He truly sees you all as real family."
"Is that so?" Although Mo Yan's expression was calm, only she knew what she was truly thinking.
"Alright, the small talk ends here." The dragon soul turned around to face the Immortal Herbs, which he regarded as mere weeds. "I've already decided how to deal with these little fellows."
Mo Yan curiously turned her head, also wanting to see what this dragon soul would do.
The dragon soul then crushed the blue crystal ball in his hand, releasing Tang San's divine soul.
As Tang San's divine soul was released, he immediately roared furiously at the golden-eyed youth before him, "Boy, don't you know who I am?"
"I am the Sea God, Asura God Tang San! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Finished?" The dragon soul scoffed at Tang San's threat. "Then you can truly die."
With that, a pressure Tang San had never felt before erupted from the youth. The words Sea God Tang San still wanted to utter were caught in his throat. He wanted to speak but was too terrified to make a sound.
Why was there someone in this World stronger than himself?!
Even the God of Destruction was at most only slightly stronger than him, and that was because the God of Destruction was an old-rank God King. But this golden-eyed youth before him was a different matter entirely.
Why was this happening?
But no one told him the answer. The dragon soul saw the terror in Tang San's divine soul's eyes and sneered, "Possessing eternal life, yet like a frog in a well, forever confined to his own territory. Truly… short-sighted."
"Ah ah ah ah..."
Tang San's screams echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Immortal Herbs' eyes, which had just shown a glimmer of hope, instantly turned to ashes. Was their Lord Tang San... like this?
Was he that weak? It was over, they were beyond saving!

At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tian Mucheng and Xiao Xue held each other tightly. The two opposing elements of ice and fire continuously washed over their bodies, Martial Souls, and Spirits.
Tian Mucheng could feel his dragon soul constantly devouring the ice and fire energy, and destiny continuously gathered on him. Fortunately, he had told Jin Tianming in advance.
Otherwise, when Douluo Star returned to the divine realm's sight, it would be very troublesome if those fellows discovered him.
He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Xue, who was holding him tightly. He had to admit that the loyalty and devotion of the Dragon Slave were truly terrifying; Xiao Xue's Martial Soul was undergoing a transformation.
Xiao Xue's original Martial Soul was evolving towards an Ice Dragon Martial Soul. That was truly impressive!
"I'll help her!" Tian Mucheng made up his mind. A dragon soul appeared in his hand, carrying half of the destiny, and entered Xiao Xue's body.
Xiao Xue, don't disappoint me...
