Old Man, Step Aside—You Can't Handle This!

Electrolux had yet to speak when Tian Meng interrupted him.

"Old man, step aside—you can't handle this!"

The enormous insect body moved with astonishing agility, circling around Electrolux and drawing close to Chen Ming.

The insect face that had shown no spirit whatsoever when making a fierce expression was now filled with flattery, vividly lifelike.

"This little brother possesses extraordinary Spiritual Power talent. I am—"

"Senior, please."

Chen Ming shifted aside to avoid Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and invited Electrolux forward.

Electrolux nodded, then transformed into a stream of gray air and merged into the depths of Chen Ming's Soul Martial Soul, taking up residence within the Death Demigod Position.

Chen Ming silently removed his control over the Death Demigod Position and moved the Demigod Position into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

"Senior, please help me."

Chen Ming activated the Life Gold source within his body.

"You have Life Gold too?!" Electrolux cried out.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried out at the same time.

His pair of insect eyes widened to the fullest.

Over his entire million years of experience, he had only seen Life Gold once. It had been a piece of Life Gold hacked from the bottom of the Lake of Life by that ruthless figure who had wreaked havoc in Star Dou five hundred years ago.

Then, his insect eyes widened again.

That Death aura just now.

I'm going to die!

A stream of gray air emerged and tightly wrapped around Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Faint chants surfaced one after another as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was sealed and sent into Chen Ming's Sea of Consciousness.

"Senior with a Demigod Position is truly far stronger than before."

"I am Electrolux. As for whether your cultivation time or mine is longer, that remains uncertain. There's no need to call me Old Yi. Call me Old E instead."

As Electrolux replied to Chen Ming, he transferred Chen Ming's Life Gold source into the Sea of Consciousness and used the power of Life Gold to conceal the fluctuations of the Death Demigod Position.

After everything was done, Chen Ming carefully stripped the Demigod Position away from his Soul Martial Soul.

There was no longer any need to worry about the aura of the god position being exposed.

As the Death God Position was removed, some things deep within Chen Ming's Soul Martial Soul were revealed as well.

The most conspicuous was a massive gate, surrounded by five great phantoms.

There was a stone stele resembling a gravestone.

There was a coffin emanating a misty aura.

There was a chain that was half-hidden and half-visible.

There was a Small Grass brimming with vigorous life.

There was an extraordinary Water Droplet.

"These things are connected to your aura without the slightest barrier between them. It seems I should be the one calling you big brother," Electrolux said.

Chen Ming did not deny it.

The Sea of Consciousness fell silent for a long while.

In truth, Electrolux should have been asleep, but the Death Demigod Position had left him full of energy, unable to sleep.

"You know about that child?"

"The abandoned Child of Destiny," Chen Ming said.

"Abandoned?" Electrolux gave a bitter smile, his mood sinking.

That manipulated Fate struck a chord with him, leaving him inexplicably sorrowful.

Unfortunately, he could not save that child.

Because even the child's beliefs had been altered.

The mental indoctrination imposed upon a child's Sea of Consciousness had seeped into his very bones and could not be eradicated.

"Even if he was abandoned, he is still the Child of Destiny. I hope he does not go astray in the future," Electrolux said softly.

"Let's hope so," Chen Ming echoed.

Though he said that, deep down, he leaned toward letting Huo Yuhao erupt.

Hatred that had never been vented could never truly be let go.

As for Electrolux saying that Huo Yuhao was still a Child of Destiny, Chen Ming could not refute it either.

He did not know how Huo Yuhao could rise to prominence after losing Electrolux and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the white soul ring before him, at the ruined ground, with not a single person in sight.

What had just happened?

The white soul ring swayed, seemingly having reached its limit and about to collapse.

Huo Yuhao was greatly alarmed and hurried to the white soul ring.

This was his only hope.

He had set out to obtain a soul ring with eager anticipation, and of course he had wanted a hundred-year soul ring. But reality had been despairing. Even a mere ten-year soul beast, a Wind Baboon, had pushed him into a desperate situation.

This Wind Baboon's soul ring was likely the only soul ring he would ever be able to come into contact with.

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, released his Soul Power, and placed the white soul ring around himself.

Pain as if blades were scraping over him instantly swept through his entire body, even reaching deep into his soul.

In Huo Yuhao's perception, it was as though countless wind blades were rampaging through his body, cutting apart his fragile frame. In the end, the wind blades climbed upward until—

"Ah!"

A stream of warmth slid from the corners of his eyes, blood staining his tattered cloth clothes red.

Huo Yuhao's widened eye sockets seemed ready to tear apart. His lively eyes were covered in blood, and it seemed as though wind blades were churning within his eye sockets.

The pain was no longer confined to his body. At this moment, it pierced directly into his soul.

At the moment Huo Yuhao lost consciousness, the wind blades constantly spinning in his eyes gradually became clear, their structure stabilizing.

Within his left pupil, three wind blades formed a spiral.

Within his right pupil, four wind blades formed the shape of a windmill.

"Is this what a Child of Destiny is?"

Chen Ming silently observed everything and took a deep breath.

That bloodthirsty power was not a coincidence.

When he sensed that power, an impression surfaced from the depths of Chen Ming's memories. It seemed one of Huo Yuhao's younger brothers had a martial soul that mutated into a Blood Tiger.

"Yuhao!"

Tang Ya's cry came from the distance.

She ran over swiftly with Bei Bei. Seeing Huo Yuhao lying on the ground and Chen Ming watching from the side, she glared furiously at Chen Ming.

"What did you do to Yuhao?!"

Chen Ming shrugged and offered no explanation.

Bei Bei stepped forward and carefully examined the surroundings.

"This is a Wind Baboon, only around forty years old. Yuhao may have absorbed its soul ring, and..." Bei Bei ran a hand across Huo Yuhao's face, looked at the blood on his fingers, and continued, "Yuhao's martial soul may not be compatible with the Wind Baboon. It could even be said that they conflict."

"You were right there. Didn't you know to stop him?" Tang Ya pointed at Chen Ming and demanded.

Chen Ming did not argue.

A green ball of light flicked from his right finger and entered Huo Yuhao's body.

As Life Force entered him, the injuries on Huo Yuhao's body rapidly healed.

After doing this, Chen Ming turned and left.

There was no need to offer the polite invitation for Huo Yuhao to join the Body Sect anymore. Electrolux had already given Chen Ming the answer. At his core, Huo Yuhao's beliefs were inclined toward the Tang Sect and could not be changed.

"Thank you."

Electrolux's voice echoed within Chen Ming's Sea of Consciousness.

"No need to thank me. I also need him to draw that person's attention," Chen Ming replied coldly. "You did something just now too, didn't you? Did you reveal the truth to him?"

"No. I was afraid he could not accept the whole truth." Electrolux sighed. "Poor child."

After a long while, he curiously asked another crucial question.

"What is that person's situation now?"

"Network lag."

I have something to do tonight, so I'm releasing all three chapters together today.
