"Tian Meng, that bastard, came back just now." The smile Ice Empress had worn because of Snow Empress immediately turned vicious.

"Tian Meng?" Snow Empress first furrowed her delicate brows in confusion, then suddenly remembered something and asked oddly, "That ice silkworm?"

"That's right, that dead fat bug."

"Snow Empress, do you know? That fat bug actually broke through to nine hundred thousand years. Its Spiritual Power is so strong now that even I can't compare. It escaped from my grasp just now by relying on its Spiritual Power." Ice Empress vividly described what had just happened and pointed toward the chaotic battlefield ahead.

"Nine hundred thousand years!" A flicker of shock crossed Snow Empress's eyes, which had remained Ten Thousand Years Unchanging. Even she was only six hundred and eighty thousand years old, and she did not have complete confidence in overcoming the upcoming seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation.

The ice silkworm race was not powerful, yet it had actually broken through the nine-hundred-thousand-year limit. It was truly inconceivable.

"Hm?" Snow Empress looked in the direction Ice Empress pointed, but after sensing carefully for a moment, she found nothing.

"Let's go look for it. The Extreme North is too vast. If it truly intends to hide, there's nothing we can do."

With that, Snow Empress flew into the distance. Ice Empress hurriedly circulated her Soul Power and followed behind her.

During the Space Travel process, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm regretfully looked back at the passage and shouted, "Bingbing, I'll be back! I'll definitely make you accept me!"

The next second, a Golden Gate suddenly appeared five meters in front of the group of five, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm abruptly tumbled out of it.

Xu Tianyang, Xu Yunxiao, Feng Tianxiang, Dugu Bo: ???

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: !!!

The four people and one beast stared at each other, and the scene became extremely awkward.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was the first to break the silence. Raising its tiny claws, it chuckled sheepishly. "Greetings, everyone."

"A silkworm that can talk...?" Dugu Bo stared in surprise at the silkworm that had fallen from the sky.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!!!"

Feng Tianxiang cried out in shock and performed Martial Soul Release. Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings encircled him as he shielded Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang, who was absorbing her Soul Ring in the distance, behind him.

"Leave this place!" Xu Yunxiao likewise entered Martial Soul Possession. Terrifying pressure descended upon Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Xu Nianshuang had reached the critical point of Soul Ring Absorption and could not be disturbed lightly.

Even with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast right before him, he would not retreat a single step.

Dugu Bo finally came to his senses as well. His movements were no slower as he swiftly entered Martial Soul Possession and blocked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's escape route. Beneath his grave gaze lay a hint of burning excitement.

This was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It was the first time in his life that he had seen a Soul Beast at the hundred-thousand-year level.

"It's actually Tian Meng!" Protected by Feng Tianxiang, Xu Tianyang stared in astonishment at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the distance.

It was an enlarged silkworm grub with a body like white jade. Starting half a meter below its head, a golden stripe encircled its body at regular intervals. From head to tail, there were nine such golden stripes in total.

Nine golden stripes, an ice silkworm... all of it proved the other party's identity. It was precisely the first Million-Year Soul Beast in the future history of Douluo Continent, as well as the beginning of Huo Gua's rise to greatness.

Though it seemed to be only nine hundred thousand years old now.

At this moment, he no longer wanted to know why it had suddenly appeared here. His mind was filled only with how to take it in.

"Two Titled Douluo!"

Unaware that it had been targeted, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed the auras emanating from Xu Yunxiao and Dugu Bo. Wiping away its tears, it cried out in horror, "Out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's lair! Oh, Brother Sky Dream's fate is so miserable!"

A huge question mark appeared over Xu Yunxiao and Dugu Bo's heads. This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast seemed... not very bright.

"Are you toying with us?"

After thinking it over, Xu Yunxiao felt that no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could possibly be an idiot. That meant this fat ice silkworm was playing with them.

His expression instantly darkened.

A Purple Giant Dragon filled with Destructive Aura rose into the sky. Its enormous body, enough to blot out the heavens and cover the earth, immediately overshadowed the tiny Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Dragon Brother, Dragon Brother!"

"Calm down, calm down... let's talk!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm roared. Although Xu Yunxiao's aura was not as terrifying as Ice Empress's or Snow Empress's, that dreadful Destructive Attribute made its heart tremble.

It felt as if it would be destroyed from this world in the next second—destroyed in the literal sense.

To evade Ice Empress and Snow Empress's senses just now, it had overexerted itself and expended a great deal of Spiritual Power. Moreover, its space-jumping skill could no longer be used. In its current state, it probably could not even deal with a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Surrounded by two Titled Douluo, Tian Meng's heart was pounding wildly.

Especially when it saw the massive figure in the distance, it decided these people were not to be trifled with. They even dared to hunt Titan Snow Demons. They were a ruthless bunch!

"Dragon Brother?"

"Are you calling me?" Xu Yunxiao shook his head with an amused smile.

"Well, isn't it because your Martial Soul is a true dragon, sir?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's silkworm-grub face was full of fawning flattery.

"This is the first time I've seen a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like you." Xu Yunxiao felt strangely unsettled as he watched Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's shameless appearance.

Dugu Bo beside him looked as though he were seeing Soul Beasts for the first time. His worldview had shattered completely, and every illusion he had about Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was gone.

"Why did you suddenly appear here?" Xu Yunxiao asked sternly.

"I was careless for a moment. It was all an accident. Please forgive me, Dragon Brother..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said with a placating smile.

"Leave this place!"

"Alright, alright. Goodbye, Dragon Brother!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt as though it had been pardoned. Suppressing the excitement in its heart, it waved its little stubby legs and prepared to flee.

Suddenly, it seemed to sense some sort of aura. Its body, just about to leave, abruptly froze. It turned and stared at Xu Tianyang among the group, a humanlike excitement flashing across its face.

"The aura of a... Deity!"

When Xu Tianyang saw Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stop, he put away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his palm and quietly sighed in relief.

That was close...

Just a little closer, and he would have had to tell Xu Yunxiao to take it by force.

"A Spiritual Attribute, Soul Power already at rank thirty at only ten years old, and such powerful spiritual talent... perfect. No wonder you were favored by a Deity." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared at Xu Tianyang, its expression constantly shifting as it struggled inwardly.

The situation now differed from when it had encountered Huo Gua. Back then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had nearly been drained dry by Di Tian and the others. With no other choice, it had chosen Huo Yuhao, seeking the chance at divine immortality through ascension.

Now, it had just absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and broken through to become a Nine-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It had not yet reached the end of its road, so it felt conflicted.

It lacked that madness of staking everything on success or death.

However, Xu Yunxiao saw that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not only returned after leaving, but was also rolling its little eyes as it stared at his son, clearly plotting something. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
