However, the golden frying pan in Jin Tai Lang's hand caught Luo Feng's attention.
This must be Wu Dalang's wife, right?
Judging by appearances, her combat prowess seemed formidable.
Drawing from Luo Feng's years of cartoon-watching experience and his knowledge of banned animations, he had already deduced that the wolf holding the golden frying pan before him was likely Jin Tai Lang.
He wasn't sure if his guess was correct, but if it were true, things would get really interesting.
The answer would have to wait until Luo Feng dealt with the current situation here.
Putting aside further speculation, Luo Feng focused his attention on the Black Orb.
The Black Orb wasn't far from him.
At that moment, the area around the Black Orb was densely packed with Crimson Specters.
Having no intention of wasting more time, Luo Feng silently took out his Icefire Origin Pearl.
As soon as the Icefire Origin Pearl appeared, the flames around Luo Feng began to change.
Ice energy started manifesting on his body.
Both ice and fire now coexisted on Luo Feng's form.
Then, the ice and fire rapidly fused together.
A completely new type of energy emerged on Luo Feng's body.
This Ice-Fire Energy contained tremendous destructive power.
Even without activating his Extreme Cold Ice Armor, the might of this Ice-Fire Fusion had already reached terrifying levels.
Now determined to end the battle quickly, Luo Feng decided to partially activate his Extreme Cold Ice Armor.
With the activation of the Extreme Cold Ice Armor, the already formidable energy surrounding Luo Feng became even more terrifying.
An enormous Icefire Lotus was rapidly forming before him.
As the Icefire Lotus took shape, it posed an immense threat to the surrounding Black Ghouls.
Some of the nearby Black Ghouls couldn't withstand the pressure emanating from the Icefire Lotus and began fleeing in all directions.
The five animals nearby—Wu Dalang, Jin Tai Lang, Dao Lang (Knife Wolf), Kuai Yangyang, and Huo Yang Yang (Fire Sheep)—though engaged in hunting down the Black Ghouls, were all observing the changes occurring with Luo Feng.
These animals wanted to understand the true extent of this human's power.
When they saw both Ice and Fire Attributes simultaneously manifesting on Luo Feng's body, they were utterly shocked.
It was as if they were witnessing something inconceivable.
But what happened next to Luo Feng nearly caused these animals to lose their composure.
The two opposing energies of ice and fire were actually fusing together on a single human's body.
This completely surpassed anything these creatures could comprehend.
Huo Yang Yang (Fire Sheep), being specialized in fire manipulation, had some understanding of flames. With an expression of utter astonishment, he said:
"Can ice and fire really fuse together?
When I work with fire, I have an instinctive aversion to ice.
Whenever flame meets ice, it's always a fight to the death.
Yet now, ice and fire are merging on a human's body—this defies all logic!
Village Chief, you've seen more of the world. Have you ever encountered anything like this?"
When Kuai Yangyang heard Huo Yang Yang address him, his expression shifted slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head and replied:
"I've lived for decades, traveled many places, and learned numerous secrets..."
However, the fusion of ice and fire is something I've never seen before—I haven't even heard of such a thing.
I'll need to go back to Sheep Village and thoroughly research the records.
This human before me is truly unfathomable.
It seems Verdant Grassland is finally saved.
Not only is he the savior of Verdant Grassland, but he may also become the savior of the entire Mist Island.
From now on, everyone must treat him with the utmost respect.
The innermost layer of the Inheritance Hall will be opened to him."
Hearing Kuai Yangyang's words, the surrounding animals gasped in shock.
The Inheritance Hall was divided into many layers.
The deeper the layer, the more powerful the Breathing Technique one could obtain.
As for what kind of Breathing Technique lay within the innermost layer, none of these animals knew.
Because none of them had ever entered the innermost layer of the Inheritance Hall.
Even the records only vaguely mentioned the names of those who had entered the deepest layer, with no further details.
Thus, the animals were extremely curious about this matter.
Moreover, the conditions for opening the innermost layer of the Inheritance Hall were extremely stringent.
It wasn't something Kuai Yangyang could simply declare open—success wasn't guaranteed.
It required the joint effort of both the Wolf Clan and the Sheep Clan.
Wu Dalang, of course, was well aware of this. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke, "Once we finish dealing with matters here, we can attempt it.
The innermost layer of the Inheritance Hall has never been opened before. If we can succeed, it would be a remarkable achievement."
At this moment, the Icefire Lotus before Luo Feng had nearly finished gathering.
Seeing that the Icefire Lotus had grown to a considerable size, Luo Feng wasted no more time and began directing it toward the Black Orb.
As the Icefire Lotus advanced, many Black Ghouls, fearless of death, rushed to block its path.
The moment the Icefire Lotus made contact with them, the Black Ghouls were instantly ignited.
While their bodies were scorched, Frost Ice also manifested across their forms.
Normally, Freezing Abilities had little effect on these Black Ghouls.
But now, Luo Feng's energy was a true fusion of ice and fire—a genuine dual assault of extreme opposites.
The Black Ghouls set ablaze by the Icefire Lotus let out agonized screams before swiftly dissolving into wisps of black smoke, vanishing without a trace.
Despite this, many Black Ghouls still desperately defended the Black Orb.
Observing their reaction, Luo Feng's expression grew even more intrigued.
This Black Orb was clearly no ordinary object.
It must be an exceedingly rare treasure.
At this thought, a faint smile appeared on Luo Feng's face. Soon, this Black Orb would belong to him.
Earlier, Wu Dalang and the others had intended to destroy the Black Orb to prevent more Black Ghouls from emerging.
But Luo Feng had no intention of destroying such a valuable item.
Though his Icefire Lotus was moving toward the Black Orb, its progress was deliberately slow—primarily to eliminate the surrounding Black Ghouls.
Otherwise, given Luo Feng's control over the Icefire Lotus, these Black Ghouls wouldn't have stood a chance at hindering its advance.
In just a few seconds, Luo Feng could completely destroy the Black Orb.
Even so, the Icefire Lotus had already arrived above the Black Orb.
Immediately after, the Icefire Lotus began to explode.
A massive amount of Ice-Fire Energy spread outward in all directions.
When this Ice-Fire Energy landed on the surrounding Black Ghouls, it quickly ignited them.
