Fusion!

Xu Tianyang looked at the nervous Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and asked, "Tian Meng, if your origin is so immense, how could I, a mere Level 30 quasi-Soul Elder, possibly withstand it?"

Seeing that Xu Tianyang did not object, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm let out a breath of relief. Then, considering Xu Tianyang's concern, he pondered for a moment before saying, "I've got it."

"I'll give up my nine hundred thousand years of cultivation and fuse my origin and Spiritual Power with you. During the process, I'll place seals on them. As your cultivation rises, the seals will gradually be undone until you have completely absorbed my energy."

Hearing this, Xu Tianyang inwardly relaxed. He looked seriously at Xu Yunxiao and said, "Father, I'm willing to try."

"Tianyang, you won't regret this?" Xu Yunxiao's expression was graver than ever. Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had made it sound easy, the dangers involved were still enormous—virtually a brush with death. He did not want Xu Tianyang taking such a risk.

"When has cultivation ever been a smooth road?" Unlike the others' worries, Xu Tianyang remained composed, radiating intense confidence. "Such an opportunity has been delivered right before me. If I do not even have the courage to take a gamble, how will I ever reach Level 99 in the future? How will I step onto the path of Level 100 Godhood?"

Xu Tianyang knew that the coming era would be filled with upheaval. If he wanted to overtake Qian Renxue, who was practically cheating her way ahead, then he needed to cheat as well.

Previously, he had set his sights on the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as the trials on Sea God Island.

Now that even Huo Gua's cheat had been delivered right to his doorstep, would he not have come here for nothing if he still hesitated?

"Tian Meng, let's begin!" Xu Tianyang stared solemnly at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Seeing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm laughed loudly. "Hahaha, Tianyang, my method is absolutely foolproof. With my assistance, we'll definitely succeed in the future."

As he spoke, the nine golden rings around Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body pulsed as though they had come alive. At last, a cluster of brilliant golden light suddenly separated from his true body, leaving behind only a thin, pale golden membrane.

That cluster of brilliant golden light was his origin power and Spiritual Power. Once he separated them from his true body, there would be no turning back.

"Tianyang, here I come!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sleazy voice rang out in Xu Tianyang's mind.

The cluster of radiant golden origin moved toward Xu Tianyang's brow.

To the side, Xu Yunxiao and Feng Tianxiang, who had witnessed the entire process, watched Xu Tianyang with worried expressions. Soul Power surged through their bodies. The slightest change in Xu Tianyang's complexion, and they would do everything possible to interrupt this.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo watched with great interest. This was the sacrifice of a Nine-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. He had not even seen a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifice before.

Nine hundred thousand years was probably already enough to make it the number one Soul Beast on the continent, wasn't it?!

Could it be that this kid possessed immense fortune?

With this Soul Ring, the road to Level 99 would be smooth sailing for him. He might even achieve Level 100 Godhood in the future. Would the Sun Moon Continent unify Douluo Continent under Xu Tianyang's leadership?

At that thought, Dugu Bo actually felt somewhat fortunate. Being tied up did not seem like such a bad thing after all.

The instant the golden origin touched Xu Tianyang's brow, an icy chill spread throughout his entire body, even blurring his consciousness.

Yet Xu Tianyang still sank his awareness inward, controlling his Sea of Consciousness to seal away the memories of his past life that had awakened after he turned three.

Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was merging with him and could be considered part of the same fate, precautions still had to be taken.

At the same time, as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin power and Spiritual Power poured into Xu Tianyang's body, an invisible wave of Spiritual Power spread outward from him.

The terrifying Spiritual Power covered every corner within a hundred-mile radius almost instantaneously.

Mental Impact did not possess much destructive force, but it could render every living creature incapable of thought for a short period of time.

Even Xu Yunxiao and the other two were affected.

"Oh no, Shuang'er!" Coming back to his senses, Xu Yunxiao's heart clenched. He remembered that Xu Nianshuang was still absorbing her Soul Ring. If she had been affected as well, the consequences would be disastrous.

When he turned to look, Xu Yunxiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Spiritual Power knew Xu Nianshuang's condition; whenever it reached her, it automatically dispersed.

Xu Nianshuang's Soul Ring Absorption was also nearing its end. More than ten breaths later, she opened her eyes. Before she could share her joy with the others, she saw Xu Tianyang's current condition and was filled with questions.

"Uncle Xu, Tianyang, he..." Xu Nianshuang came to Xu Yunxiao's side and asked softly, afraid that speaking too loudly would disturb Xu Tianyang.

"The situation is like this, Shuang'er..."

Over here, the nine golden rings swiftly enveloped Xu Tianyang's body, while streams of white radiance continuously flowed into him.

"What a powerful physique!"

"If I hadn't seen part of your memories, I'd really suspect that you weren't human, kid."

"Twin Martial Souls? One is close to ultimate fire, and the other has a Destructive Attribute?"

"Evil Eye, Dragon Pattern Whale—both are top-tier Soul Rings and Soul Skills!"

"I've struck gold... I've struck gold... I really chose the right person. No wonder a Deity took notice of you. With talent like this, you could rank among the best in ten thousand years. I've made a killing!"

After viewing Xu Tianyang's memories from after the age of three, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became more and more shocked.

Yet what followed was an indescribable exhilaration.

Deep within the distant Extreme North, Snow Empress and Ice Empress seemed to sense something at the instant Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sacrificed himself.

Snow Empress raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Xu Tianyang's group. Her voice was cold as she said, "A strange aura."

"It's Tian Meng. It's definitely him." Ice Empress's senses were not as sharp as Snow Empress's, but her instincts told her it was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Snow Empress, let's hurry over. This time, I absolutely won't let him get away." Ice Empress's eyes lit up as she grabbed Snow Empress and urgently prepared to rush over, intent on tearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to pieces.

"Bing'er, the aura has disappeared." Before Ice Empress could move, Snow Empress furrowed her delicate brows.

"How is that possible? How could it disappear? Did he leave the Extreme North?" Ice Empress stared at Snow Empress in disbelief.

"We have an approximate location. Let's go take a look."

Snow Empress shook her head, unclear about the situation. With a slight movement of her feet, she flew toward the direction she had just sensed.

Seeing this, Ice Empress hurriedly followed behind Snow Empress.

Just as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm merged with Xu Tianyang, the sky suddenly darkened. A thunderous boom rang out high above, and in that instant, the sun's light was completely swallowed by darkness.

An immense pressure that made it difficult to breathe descended from the sky.
