Huo Yuhao stared intently at the seemingly bottomless Fissure. If not for the exhausting battle with the Wind Baboon, he would have fled long ago, his body now weak and sore.
A figure emerged from the Fissure, and as it appeared, the water vapor instantly condensed into a mist of ice, sending shivers down Huo Yuhao's spine.
"Mental-type Soul Master, your Brother Tianmeng is here!"
The same cheeky voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind. The figure revealed itself to be a jade- white silkworm with ten golden stripes.
A Millennium Soul Beast, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm!
As it spoke, the golden stripes on the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's back transformed into ten golden halos that quickly enveloped Huo Yuhao's thin, bamboo-like body. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm then melted into streams of white light, rushing into Huo Yuhao's body.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm merged with Huo Yuhao, an invisible Spiritual Power began to spread from it.
The Spiritual Power released by a million-year-old mental-type soul beast was terrifying, instantly covering every corner within a hundred-mile radius. All intelligent life forms immediately fell into a daze, as if time had been paused by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"Crack... Crack..."
In the dead silence, a sound like an eggshell breaking suddenly rang out.
"Huh?"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm split off a sliver of its consciousness to warily observe its surroundings. The fusion process was a matter of life and death, and it needed to be fully prepared. It was also curious; the process of becoming a soul ring was somewhat similar to a sacrifice, releasing a powerful Spiritual Domain that even a Sealed Douluo or a Ten- thousand-year Soul Beast could not interfere with.
In the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest, there was actually a life form that could ignore the Spiritual Domain!?
Without any hindrance, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm locked onto the formidable individual. Holy Sword in hand, divine light shining.
Ling Bai's face was calm, and under the glow of the Six-Winged Angel, his gaze was cold and detached.
"Oh my, Divine Majesty!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was speechless. If it had eyes, they would have popped out of its sockets and bounced around on the ground. Ten thousand years ago, the aftermath of the battle between the two gods had swept across the entire Tang Sect Continent, the overwhelming power of life forcing it to hide in an ice cave in the Ultimate North, trembling in fear.
Today, it had encountered the familiar Divine Majesty again!
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was certain that the youth nearby possessed one of the four gods from ten thousand years ago, the Divine Majesty!
"Heaven, I just wanted to find a host to survive, why did I have to meet such a monster..."
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was on the verge of tears. Without the protection of the Spiritual Domain, it and Huo Yuhao were as helpless as fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of Ling Bai.
"Please, brother, treat us like a fart and let us go..."
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm prayed frantically, and if it could, it would have condensed a spirit body to cry and beg for mercy.
Ling Bai was unaware of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's rich inner monologue and didn't care, as he had no interest in it.
He needed the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm about as much as a fish needed a bicycle.
The Six-Winged Angel was not a mental-type soul power, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was like a chicken rib to him. As for ice-type soul powers...
Soul powers were valuable for their quality, not quantity, especially since he already had dual soul powers.
Ling Bai glanced at Ning Tian and Wu Feng, finding them still frozen in place, which reassured him. The Spiritual Domain lacked destructive power but could render all life forms unconscious for a short time.
"It's best they don't know what happens next." Ling Bai watched the situation unfold.
Seeing that Ling Bai made no move, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it had escaped with its life. It then accelerated the fusion process and began to communicate with Huo Yuhao in the spirit sea to build a rapport.
"Boom-"
Just then, the sky, which had been clear a moment ago, suddenly darkened. A thunderous boom echoed in the high sky, and for a moment, the sun's light was completely blocked by darkness.
A suffocating pressure descended from the heavens. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's massive body shook violently at the sound of the thunder, its small eyes rolling upward to look at the sky, revealing a look of shock and confusion. Clearly, this oppressive force had nothing to do
with it.
A blurry figure crossed time and space, and an ancient voice with an indescribable authority
rang out:
"Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars, none can match me in this world! I never thought a fragment of my soul could still exist!"
An extraterrestrial being, Ilex!
Having said that, Ilex looked at Huo Yuhao and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, his form floating
as if he wanted to join them in a happy trio.
"Old man, I got here first!"
After going through great lengths to find a suitable host, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was not about to give up easily. Its eyes, rarely showing the ferocity of a soul beast, glowed with determination as it manipulated its Spiritual Power to block Ilex.
"Elder!"
A loud shout interrupted Ilex's next move. His gaze fell on Ling Bai, and his expression changed imperceptibly.
Ling Bai spread his arms, and the Six-Winged Angel soul power was retracted. At that moment, a faint purplish-black hue began to appear under his exposed skin, as if something was eager to break through the flesh.
Behind him, a massive Demon Spider's shadow slowly materialized. Eight crimson eyes, like burning candles, flickered in the air, emitting a cold, piercing light. Eight curved, long legs bent and extended, moving forward slowly, withering everything in their path, turning it to
dust that drifted away.
"Screak-"
The Demon Spider let out a piercing roar, the overwhelming terror hitting the soul, causing even the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao in the spirit sea to tremble and cling to each
other, seeking a modicum of security.
"Death attribute..."
Ilex was taken aback but then burst into hearty laughter:
"Excellent, excellent! I am known as the Holy Death Spirit Mage, and you, little one, seem to
have a connection with me!"
To Ilex, Huo Yuhao was just a mental-type soul master, while Ling Bai was a fellow of the same attribute. Ilex's choice was clear.
Ling Bai opened his spirit sea, successfully receiving Ilex.
"Finally, it's done..."
The plan went smoothly, and Ling Bai sighed in relief. With Ilex around, the problem of his
second soul power should be resolved satisfactorily.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had just completed their fusion, and the Spiritual Domain dissipated, the surrounding space beginning to return to normal.
"Xiao Yuhao, go pick up my remains. The remains of a Millennium Soul Beast are rare
treasures in the world!"
In the spirit sea, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm lay in a relaxed position, lazily instructing Huo
Yuhao.
"Brother Tianmeng..."
Huo Yuhao hesitated, "Your remains, are they like a white film?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"Nothing, it's just that someone took them."
