Chapter 208 - 208: The Icefire Yin-Yang Well Ten Thousand Years Later

Fang Chang continued chewing the main vine of the Wailing Vine Emperor while turning his attention to the nearby Icefire Yin-Yang Well.

Though this place wasn't listed among the threats identified by the little spiders, it held special significance for Fang Chang.

After all, in the original story, this was Tang Sect's territory and their most important medicinal resource site.

After scanning with his divine sense, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in Fang Chang's eyes.

Although he had previously consumed all the immortal herbs and the two dragon bones at the bottom of the lake, draining the Icefire Yin-Yang Well of its former spiritual energy...

Now he actually discovered traces of numerous immortal herbs here again - Beautiful Silk Tulip, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass...

These precious herbs that Fang Chang knew so well had actually reappeared, some even showing faint signs of transforming into soul beasts.

If not for losing the unique climate effects of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, they might have already become soul beasts of considerable age by now.

These things weren't very useful to Fang Chang in his current state, but they could be quite valuable for the little spiders.

His primary task now was to revitalize the spider race in the Douluo world, which was the most effective long-term method to control this plane.

What concerned him more was the faint human presence he detected within the Icefire Yin-Yang Well - likely a guardian with soul power estimated at over rank 95.

That an expert of this level would willingly remain here as a guard proved the formidable strength of the organization behind him.

Fang Chang had the little spiders stay behind to consume the Wailing Vine Emperor's secondary vines while he activated his "Night Walker" skill and headed toward the Icefire Yin-Yang Well.

He first carefully inspected the newly grown immortal herbs to confirm there were no issues, then quietly approached where the faint human presence was located.

The Icefire Yin-Yang Well had now become an ordinary pool of water, though it still retained traces of the two Dragon Kings' essence, making the surrounding area slightly more spirit-rich than the outside world.

By the lakeside, inside an inconspicuous thatched hut, a gray-haired, heavily bearded man sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion with his eyes closed.

With soul power estimated at rank 95-96, he still hadn't detected Fang Chang's avatar presence.

Fang Chang's gaze turned icy as he carefully calculated his approach, circling around the hut toward the man's position.

Then he raised one spider leg, its tip oozing pale purple venom, and stabbed through the hut's outer wall toward the man's back.

The man, being a Titled Douluo after all, instinctively rolled forward upon hearing the wall being pierced.

But Fang Chang's spider leg was faster, slicing a roughly twenty-centimeter gash on his back, with venom seeping into his flesh through the wound.

The man shuddered in pain, his gaze fixed ahead at the spider leg withdrawing from the hut wall.

Immediately, he summoned his martial soul - which turned out to be an exaggeratedly large black long-handled hammer.

"Clear Sky Hammer?" Fang Chang's expression darkened instantly upon scanning the man's martial soul with his divine sense. He had destroyed the Clear Sky Clan long ago, yet remnants apparently still survived.

Finding a Titled Douluo with a Clear Sky Hammer guarding immortal herbs in such a place was definitely not good news.

"How bold of a soul beast! I'll capture you today!" The middle-aged man naturally couldn't discern Fang Chang's true nature, mistaking him for just another soul beast that had wandered into the herb garden.

He immediately gripped his hammer, smashed through the hut, and charged at Fang Chang.

Facing the charging opponent, all eight of Fang Chang's eyes flashed red simultaneously. Instead of retreating, he simply raised a shield-like foreleg to meet the incoming Clear Sky Hammer head-on.

With a "thud," the impact sent the middle-aged man staggering back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, nearly losing grip of his Clear Sky Hammer.

After taking two deep breaths, his gaze flickered uncertainly as he studied the dark golden spider soul beast before him, as if contemplating something.

Soon after, he pulled out a small vial of red liquid from his robe and drank it in one gulp.

After consuming the liquid, his eyes gradually took on a fanatical glow, and his aura surged dramatically, likely reaching rank 97 or 98.

But with this power boost, his attacks became completely disorganized - at this moment, he resembled more of a human-shaped beast than Fang Chang did.

"Is this some kind of berserk effect?" With Fang Chang's knowledge, recognizing this wasn't difficult. While fending off the man's attacks, he observed with interest.

It seemed that during his absence, the Douluo world had indeed undergone significant changes - a Titled Douluo with a Clear Sky Hammer and this berserk potion were both unexpected developments.

Under the influence of the berserk potion, the middle-aged man seemed tireless and impervious to pain, mechanically swinging his hammer repeatedly at Fang Chang's shield-like foreleg.

Dull thuds sounded one after another, each accompanied by the man spitting out a mouthful of blood. Yet he persisted, as if there was something here worth protecting with his life.

This assault lasted about ten minutes before the middle-aged man finally collapsed to his knees, unable to withstand his accumulating injuries after delivering one final hammer blow, his aura significantly weakened.

Only then did Fang Chang use a spider leg to lift the man's chin, noting his still-bloodshot eyes indicating the berserk potion's effects hadn't worn off. Deciding to leave him there for now, Fang Chang turned to harvest the immortal herbs.

These already mature immortal herbs were quickly uprooted under Fang Chang's harvesting, most being familiar varieties.

Beyond these immortal herbs, there were still many well-growing precious medicines in the area. Naturally, Fang Chang wouldn't waste these either, summoning the little spiders waiting outside the valley to come in and consume all the medicinal plants.

Witnessing all this, the anger in the Titled Douluo guardian's eyes kept intensifying, yet he showed no signs of panic.

"There must be something else hidden here that he cares about," Fang Chang thought as he carefully scanned the valley again with his divine sense.

Finally... beneath the thatched hut where the middle-aged soul master lived, he discovered something peculiar - a place his divine sense couldn't penetrate.

Curious, Fang Chang swept a spider leg to overturn the hut, revealing a cellar beneath. At this point, the Titled Douluo finally showed signs of panic, scrambling desperately across the ground toward the cellar as if trying to stop Fang Chang.

Fang Chang frowned as he detected traces of divine power on the cellar - energy only attainable after becoming a god.

Then he kicked open the cellar door, revealing inside... a thriving Blue Silver Emperor with soul power equivalent to twenty to thirty thousand years.

A Blue Silver Emperor of this level clearly had developed some consciousness, immediately launching a counterattack with numerous vines upon seeing the spider soul beast suddenly appear.

But Fang Chang's gaze turned ruthless as he directly opened his massive maw and devoured the Blue Silver Emperor whole.

When he had killed Tang Hao back then, he hadn't found one crucial item on him - Ah Yin's seed.

Who would have thought that ten thousand years later, she would appear here.

Seeing this scene, the Titled Douluo guardian's face turned ashen, instantly losing all will to resist.

Meanwhile, in an undersea cave far, far away from this location, a middle-aged-looking man suddenly seemed to sense something, his eyes bulging with rage as he glared westward.
