I Am Lord Yuhao's First Soul Spirit!

Ten thousand years later, Huo Yuhao had once considered consulting historical records. He wanted to know what path he had walked ten thousand years ago, but Leng Yaozhu had stopped him.

According to Leng Yaozhu, Huo Yuhao's temperament had not yet fully matured. He should focus on increasing his Soul Power, and touching the trajectory of fate too early might not help him—it could instead become a mental obstacle.

Besides, the contents recorded in the historical materials basically began with Huo Yuhao's meteoric rise to fame at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament when he was twelve.

There truly were not many records concerning his life before the age of twelve.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao had not questioned Leng Yaozhu's arrangements.

As a result, he was not particularly familiar with the history of ten thousand years ago.

Just like now, he did not even know who the current Tang Sect Leader was.

However, Huo Yuhao had already decided that the next time he traveled ten thousand years into the future, he would ask Teacher Leng Yaozhu to allow him to begin consulting the historical records. After all, he seemed to have started encountering people and events that would affect his fate!

Faced with Tang Ya's invitation to join the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao did not immediately agree.

He smiled slightly and declined. "Sorry, but I have no plans to join a sect for the time being."

Even if he knew that he was an important figure in the Tang Sect's rise, whether he would join the Tang Sect or not was a decision to make only after he understood what had happened ten thousand years ago.

A trace of dimness passed through Tang Ya's eyes, but they soon regained their usual brightness.

She had experienced this sort of rejection many times and had long since grown used to it.

Bei Bei gently took her hand and nodded to Huo Yuhao. "We still need to find Soul Rings, so we'll take our leave first. I hope we'll meet again at Shrek Academy."

With that, he led Tang Ya away by the hand, and their figures gradually vanished into the lush greenery at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Only after the two figures had completely disappeared did Huo Yuhao turn to Wu Ming and Wu Yang behind him. "Let's keep going as well."

He adjusted his direction slightly and headed deeper into the forest.

The three traveled through the woods for another half hour or so, encountering several Soul Beasts along the way, all of which Huo Yuhao easily dealt with himself.

There was even a Hundred-year Soul Beast among them. He killed it with ease, and a Bright Yellow Soul Ring slowly rose into the air.

Behind him, Wu Yang's Adam's apple bobbed as he unconsciously swallowed.

The still-youthful figure before him suddenly seemed taller in his eyes.

Just as Huo Yuhao was preparing to continue onward...

A voice abruptly crashed into his Spirit Sea without warning.

"Finally, I've run into a human with a spiritual attribute... Too bad I don't cry, or I'd definitely be bawling my eyes out right now."

Huo Yuhao's pupils abruptly contracted. His Spirit Sea Realm Mental Power had long spread out like an invisible spiderweb, yet he had failed to sense the slightest anomaly in advance!

At least in terms of Mental Power, the owner of this voice was absolutely far stronger than him.

The ground before him silently split apart, revealing a fissure that emitted a soft Platinum Light.

The unknown often meant unpredictable danger.

Every muscle in Huo Yuhao's body tightened as Soul Power quietly circulated through him. An unprecedented gravity settled over his face.

The fissure widened, and a chilling cold suddenly spread through the area, sending the surrounding temperature plummeting.

Frost rapidly spread outward from the edges of the crack at a visible speed, instantly coating the plants and rocks in a crystalline, icy white layer.

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened. He suddenly looked back and saw that Wu Ming and Wu Yang stood frozen in place, their bodies covered in a thin layer of glittering ice like two motionless statues.

"Don't worry, they're fine." The lazy voice from before sounded directly in his mind again. "I merely asked them to keep quiet for a while so they wouldn't get in the way."

Before the voice had even faded, a plump, round figure slowly crawled out of the fissure.

It was actually an incomparably enormous silkworm!

Its entire body was the translucent, lustrous color of white jade, surrounded by a faint golden halo. Ten brilliant golden rings were neatly arranged across its massive body.

Huo Yuhao's gaze froze, and even his breathing halted.

The silkworm assumed Huo Yuhao had been frightened by it and hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

Huo Yuhao was naturally not afraid. He had simply realized that this enormous silkworm before him should be the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Although his knowledge of the history of ten thousand years ago was limited, he had heard quite a few legends concerning Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

Among them, the Million-year Soul Beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was one of the most prominent!

At that moment, Xiao Yin, the Evil Eye Soul Spirit deep within Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea, was also shaken as never before.

Its enormous silver eye stared fixedly at the white-jade figure outside.

A Million-year Soul Beast... the legendary Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, an existence that had ascended to the God Realm alongside Spirit Ice Douluo!

Even as an Indomitable Soul Spirit, it was ultimately only a Thousand-year Soul Beast. Before a Million-year Soul Beast, it still could not help but tremble.

But in the next instant, Xiao Yin's trembling eye narrowed slightly. The pride belonging to an Indomitable Soul Spirit suppressed the awe in its heart.

It looked at the harmless-looking Sky Dream Ice Silkworm outside and snorted. "So what if you're a Million-year Soul Beast? Right now... I am Lord Yuhao's First Soul Spirit!"

"Ahem!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cleared its nonexistent throat. The Platinum Light around its body flowed, while its ten golden rings flickered on and off as if trying to add a touch of solemnity.

"I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the king among Soul Beasts who possesses both wisdom and beauty, a peerless powerhouse who cultivated for a million years and set the longevity record for Douluo Continent—the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!"

"Mm, you can call me Brother Sky Dream!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm introduced himself in a proud tone, but he discovered that Huo Yuhao's Facial Expression had already returned to normal. Not only was he not shocked by his million-year cultivation, but the way he looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was somewhat strange.

The truth was, Huo Yuhao had always imagined that a million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would possess an immensely "majestic and towering" image. Now that he saw him, though... he seemed a little too "chuunibyou."

Xiao Yin in the Spirit Sea felt the same way. Another layer of her filter for Million-year Soul Beasts had shattered, making her even more confident in herself!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm paid no attention to this and immediately adopted a much more solemn tone. "I will become your Soul Ring—the first Wisdom Soul Ring in the history of Douluo Continent!"

Before he had even finished speaking, Huo Yuhao felt himself being "restrained"!

The Spirit Sea Realm Mental Power he had been so proud of was completely powerless before this force. He could not move in the slightest.

Even if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm possessed no offensive abilities, his million-year cultivation was still there. Controlling Huo Yuhao was no problem at all.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous, crystalline head slowly drew closer, until his icy forehead lightly touched Huo Yuhao's brow.

The ten brilliant golden rings on his body suddenly flared with light. As though they possessed life, they peeled away from his body one after another, turning into ten golden rings that descended around Huo Yuhao.

Immediately afterward, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous jade-like body began to emit a gentle yet vast white radiance. Like tangible liquid light, it became streams of white torrents that continuously poured into Huo Yuhao.

"I've struck it rich! Struck it rich! Hahahaha..."

"This physical foundation! This Mental Power reserve!"

"Eight years old, with twenty-sixth-rank Soul Power! A peerless uncut jade!"

"My years of waiting were worth it... Hm?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's smug laughter came to an abrupt stop the instant he truly entered the core region of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea...

Because he saw a massive Big Eye filled with sinister energy, quietly floating within Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea.

The Big Eye's pupil slowly turned, directing its gaze at this newly arrived "uninvited guest."
