With the World Eye's help, Jiang Ping An locked onto the source of the soul fluctuation within the beast claw.
Inside a bone at the center of the beast claw was an insect no larger than the pad of a little finger.
It resembled a miniature silkworm, except its entire body was golden.
The golden insect lay curled up inside. It was not dead; it seemed to be asleep.
Had Jiang Ping An's Soul Power not been so formidable, he would never have sensed the insect's existence.
There were no wormholes anywhere around the bone it occupied. Who knew how long it had lived? It seemed to have burrowed inside before the creature whose claw this was had died.
"So it's only an insect."
Jiang Ping An relaxed slightly.
He had thought it was a remnant soul left behind by the master of the beast claw's owner.
If it had been the lingering soul of a Ninth Level God King, it could have posed a threat to him.
But a mere insect was not enough to threaten him.
Jiang Ping An released his Soul Power onto the golden insect, preparing to crush it to death.
The instant his Soul Power touched the golden insect, it abruptly awakened and transformed into a streak of golden light, vanishing without a trace.
The next moment, Jiang Ping An discovered in shock that this golden, silkworm-like insect had somehow appeared within his Sea of Consciousness!
Even gods of the same level found it difficult to break into his Sea of Consciousness, yet an insect had invaded it!
At the sight of Jiang Ping An's World Eye, the Golden Silkworm was like a ferocious beast starved for countless years, pouncing excitedly toward his World Eye.
Jiang Ping An immediately released his soul to stop it.
