Chapter 549 Ice and Fire
"Freezing over thousands of miles, what kind of world-ending disaster is this...?"
Ye Kang was quite astonished; this was the first time he had ever seen a purely innate ferocious beast.
This ferocious beast cannot transform into human form, nor does it gain intelligence; it will never change its appearance at birth.
But such ferocious beasts often possess earth-shattering combat power.
The Tiger King said, "What I just said was a bit of an exaggeration. This Ice Soul Dragon Silkworm is not yet an adult and cannot freeze the world forever. At most, it can only freeze a thousand miles of land, within which all living beings will perish."
"That's still incredibly powerful; at the very least, Tyrant Whale Island would be completely turned into ice." Ye Kang's face darkened.
Tiger King hugged him and said with a wicked smile, "Good brother, you really are very knowledgeable. I didn't expect you to be so calm when faced with such a crisis."
"Sister, you flatter me. I've been through plenty of life-or-death crises, so one more won't make a difference. Besides, the reason you asked me for help is because I have the means to solve the problem, right?"
Ye Kang smiled slightly, already understanding everything in his heart.
The Tiger King trained Red Eyes, allowing him to use his innate fire-controlling abilities to refine spiritual fire, and later he kept pestering him.
It turns out that everything was for this dragon silkworm.
"You want me to help you with my spiritual fire?" Ye Kang asked.
Tiger King nodded: "Of course. Why do you think I chose Tyrant Whale Island? If I hadn't accidentally discovered that unborn spiritual fire here, this island would never have become our territory."
Ye Kang frowned: "Why don't you refine the spirit fire yourself?"
Tiger King shook his head: "I can't do it. I know nothing about fire, and I don't have the time."
Ye Kang nodded. That was indeed the case. Without some talent for controlling fire and a special physique, the spirit fire would never recognize you as its master.
The affinity with spiritual fire is the most important part of refining spiritual fire.
The Tiger King said solemnly, "You already know the whole story. Now, I have to tell you the most important point: your spiritual fire can resist the freezing breath of the Ice Soul Dragon Silkworm, but you absolutely cannot wake it up."
"What do you mean?"
"The dragon silkworm is in a deep slumber. The frost around it is the freezing breath it instinctively produces while sleeping. Once touched, it will be immediately covered by the freezing breath. Normally, no one can disturb the dragon silkworm's sleep, but your spiritual fire can."
"Exert all your true energy and control the spiritual fire to melt away the ice little by little. You must be slow, because even the slightest violent fluctuation will wake it up."
"Furthermore, the temperature of the spirit fire must be low."
Tiger King stared into Ye Kang's eyes, making sure that the other party could hear every word he said.
Ye Kang nodded and said, "Melting the ice is no problem. What happens after it's melted?"
"I will kill it as soon as there is even the slightest opening. The dragon silkworm's main body is the weakest and not worth mentioning."
Ye Kang's eyes narrowed, and his expression became somewhat tense.
There's no way around it; this is no joke. One wrong move and it could freeze everything in its path.
But he didn't give up. Guaranteed at least one spiritual treasure—this kind of benefit isn't available everywhere.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately became fully focused.
With a thought, Ye Kang communicated with the small flame.
Emerald green flames danced on my fingertips.
As a spiritual fire of heaven and earth, one of the strongest flames in the world, the Azure Flame was completely unaffected by the Ice Soul Dragon Silkworm.
It flew over like a firefly, flickering, and immediately attached itself to the ice coffin.
The outside of the ice coffin was covered by a thick layer of transparent ice that exuded a chilling and menacing aura.
However, as soon as the Azure Flame rushed over, the chill vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace.
At this moment, the emerald flames maintained an extremely low temperature, not resembling a ball of fire at all, but rather like a ball of gas.
It gradually enveloped the ice layer, and then the power of the spiritual fire was activated, eroding it inward.
The ice on the surface immediately evaporated and turned into white mist.
The Tiger King opened its mouth and inhaled, sucking away all the white mist along with the heat.
Although the Ice Soul Dragon Silkworm is in a deep sleep, we must be even more careful. If it is awakened, Ye Kang and the Tiger King will instantly turn into ice sculptures.
During this process, Ye Kang exerted all his strength to control the spiritual fire, channeling all his true energy into it to maintain its stability.
Even the true energy stored in the pearl flowed out little by little to ensure that the spiritual fire would not get out of control and suddenly burst into flames.
Large beads of sweat rolled down Ye Kang's brow, quickly freezing into icicles. Both he and Tiger King were extremely tense at this moment.
The Ice Soul Dragon Silkworm was still fast asleep, and with each breath it exhaled, the ice layer continued to strengthen.
As the spiritual fire slowly eroded the ice, the overall thickness of the ice layer became thinner and thinner.
But the further you go, the more meticulous and careful you need to be.
Because it's so thin, every bit removed requires absolute silence to avoid disturbing the dragon silkworm.
Finally, the night was over.
Ye Kang's face was already pale, and his true energy was completely exhausted. He could only rely on the continuous supply of true energy from the Yunzhu to replenish it.
The Azure Flame finally melted all the ice layers, and the ice coffin was just one step away from being completely thawed.
In fact, with the power of the spiritual fire, it could melt away all the frost in an instant.
But we can't do that. Too much volatility will definitely trigger the dragon silkworm's instinct to start defending itself.
Even with only a sliver of light remaining, Ye Kang dared not be careless in the slightest. Instead, he focused even more intently on the Azure Flame.
Then, a snap!
The last layer of ice melted, a crack appeared, and a barely perceptible cracking sound was heard.
Right now!
The Tiger King transformed into a blur, leaping away in an instant. In the blink of an eye, its sharp tiger claws pierced towards the Dragon Silkworm's true form.
All of this happened so fast that Ye Kang didn't even have time to react.
But at that moment, the dragon silkworm suddenly moved. Although it had not been fully awakened, its body had instinctively mobilized the laws, and a coldness pierced through the cave, freezing the Tiger King and Ye Kang in place.
Under the chill, the Tiger King's ferocious attack actually slowed down!
At this moment, the dragon silkworm exhaled, and a freezing breath of extremely low temperature rushed towards us.
The tiger king's eyes widened, and it looked like it was about to be hit.
With a thought, Ye Kang unleashed a verdant flame that spread out as a curtain of fire, steadily blocking the freezing breath.
The extreme cold of freezing breath clashed directly with the most powerful flames of heaven and earth!
Frost melts into ice, freezing time and space.
The spiritual fire flickered and actually burned directly onto the frozen breath, igniting it!
Ice and fire clashed in the blink of an eye. At the crucial moment, the Azure Flame prevailed, perfectly neutralizing the freezing breath and preventing any terrifying consequences.
At the same time, the tiger claw successfully pierced the dragon silkworm's extremely fragile body.
Bang!
The Ice Soul Dragon Silkworm shuddered, and while still half-asleep, its life was completely extinguished, and it collapsed powerlessly.
The Tiger King withdrew its claws, only to find that its right hand had been corroded by the freezing breath. With a slight exertion, its entire right hand turned into shattered ice, which fell to the ground.
Her face was pale, and her eyes showed lingering fear.
If Ye Kang hadn't controlled the spiritual fire in time, he would have been finished...
