The Security Electrolux Brought

Underground.

A snow-white ice silkworm lay hidden.

"Big brother can't hide much longer! Heavens, send me a talented Soul Master with no Soul Ring, a Mental Attribute, and a simple, gullible mind!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm prayed to the heavens.

Suddenly, his tone shifted slightly.

"Huh? They really showed up—and two at once!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was brimming with delight.

"I knew it! I'm the plane daddy's favorite child!"

"Twin Martial Souls. One is the brain, and the other is a Healing System snow lotus. His cultivation speed is fast too, but he seems rather shrewd..."

"This boy's innate talent is a little lacking, but he's foolish enough. That'll make it easier for me to carry out the next part of my plan..."

Tian Meng made his decision.

Thus, just as Huo Yuhao held the White Tiger Dagger and counter-killed the Wind Baboon, Tian Meng unleashed a powerful mental shockwave into the surroundings, intending to knock every living creature nearby unconscious so no one would notice the sacrifice to come.

"It's here."

Faced with the sudden mental shockwave, there was little Mu Yuan could do.

Or rather, there was nothing he could do at all.

At that moment, he could only obediently allow Tian Meng's mental shockwave to knock him unconscious.

Compared to Wei Na and the other innocent people, the only difference was that he knew why he had fainted.

However, he had long since prepared a contingency for himself.

Within the Scarlet Spirit Bone, the Demon Seed that Mu Yuan had compressed to the point where he had to suppress it constantly with his own power erupted with a bang.

As the Demon Seed erupted, the bracelet around Mu Yuan's right wrist shook violently.

The bracelet, already covered in cracks and shattered by the force of the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife within, broke apart completely. The Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife emerged and fused into Mu Yuan's right arm.

A flash of emerald radiance erupted at that very moment.

Yet every living creature around them had been cleared out by Tian Meng and fallen unconscious.

God Realm.

Clouds and mist swirled, immortal aura filling the air. Within the boundless sea of clouds stood a palace.

At the palace's highest level, Tang San held the Sea God Trident as he observed the events unfolding on the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.

"It's actually that thing."

A look of astonishment flashed through Tang San's eyes.

He had identified the Child of Destiny long ago, though he did not know how the Child of Destiny would develop in the future.

He had actually arranged several paths for Huo Yuhao, but it was not yet convenient to force them upon him.

Ever since Huo Yuhao broke through Rank Ten, Tang San had been watching him.

He wanted to see what kind of First Soul Ring Huo Yuhao would obtain under the push of fate.

"That ice silkworm truly deserves to be called a million-year mental-type soul beast. When he hid with all his strength, even I failed to notice his existence."

The surprise in Tang San's eyes faded, replaced by a trace of gravity.

A million-year Soul Ring as his First Soul Ring—Huo Yuhao's future...

"Hm?"

As Tang San pondered, the changes in Mu Yuan caught his attention.

"A carving knife forged from Life Gold?"

A sharp glint flashed through Tang San's eyes.

"Body Sect!"

To Tang San, the Body Sect was a group of lawless people and the greatest source of uncertainty. Only through his repeated guidance had the Body Sect's development remained within his control.

Because of that, many conflicts had also accumulated between Shrek and the Body Sect.

"Huo Yuhao no longer needs the Life Gold. Tang Ya can take it instead; it may solve the problem of her martial soul mutation in the future."

With a deep look in his eyes, Tang San was about to interfere with the lower plane when a bolt from the blue abruptly interrupted him.

Above Star Dou Forest, dark clouds gathered and space tore apart.

A stream of gray air shot out, carrying surging waves of powerful Divine Sense.

"What powerful Divine Sense fluctuations!"

Tang San was somewhat uncertain.

Who was this?

While he hesitated, the gray current circled for a moment as if wavering. However, it soon made its decision, descended from the sky, and plunged straight into Mu Yuan's body.

"This is bad. This was supposed to be that boy Huo Yuhao's opportunity."

Tang San realized something and was about to act.

Yet he suddenly paused again.

Should he intervene?

As he struggled with the decision, another deep unease rose within him. He abruptly turned to look at another location on Douluo Continent.

"Where did this little thief come from?!"

Tang San flew into a rage. His gaze shifted, and his attention settled on Sunset Forest.

Star Dou Forest.

Mu Yuan's Spirit Sea.

A stream of gray air broke through the barrier and took up residence within it.

Through his hazy consciousness, Mu Yuan heard an aged voice.

"With the sun and moon in my hand, I pluck the stars; there has never been another like me in this world!"

"Life Gold? It seems this old man's life is not yet meant to end."

"Whose Divine Sense is spying on me? I didn't even notice it just now?"

"Though I am weak and only a fragment of Divine Sense remains, fortunately, this little fellow possesses a sizable piece of Life Gold. Little fellow, lend me your Life Gold for now."

The gray current appeared on Mu Yuan's right arm and forced the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife out. Then, emerald radiance burst forth.

The gray current, which had been reduced to a mere wisp, seemed to receive replenishment and swiftly grew somewhat stronger.

After that, it quickly weakened again. However, an invisible Divine Sense barrier emerged around Mu Yuan's body.

Having done all this, the gray current hesitated, then drew in another trace of emerald energy. After growing slightly stronger, it fused the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife back into Mu Yuan's body before drilling into Mu Yuan's Spirit Sea once more.

God Realm.

Tang San was furious.

"What is that thing?"

Having just turned his gaze toward Sunset Forest and activated the hidden measure he had placed within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San immediately sensed that something was wrong.

When he refocused and observed Star Dou Forest again, his vision had become a blur, especially at the location where Mu Yuan had been in his memory.

He looked closely, but everything remained indistinct. Even the surrounding environment had become hazy.

"Damn it, who exactly is this Divine Sense?"

Tang San was enraged.

An occurrence outside his control had appeared on Douluo Continent. That was no good sign.

From his brief perception just now, Tang San could confirm that the Divine Sense was incredibly weak and could dissipate at any moment.

If it used any power at all, it would surely disperse immediately.

"If not for Mu Yuan, this Divine Sense should have fallen into Huo Yuhao's hands and slowly recovered with Huo Yuhao's mental origin, supported by Tian Meng."

"Now that it has Life Gold, its condition will be more stable. It must have absorbed the Life Gold; otherwise, it would not have the strength to block my perception."

Sunset Forest.

Du Busi arrived alone before the Poisonous Miasma.

The Poisonous Miasma covered an enormous area, blanketing more than half of Sunset Forest. It was precisely because of this miasma that Sunset Forest had fallen, leaving only a tiny portion of its outer regions inhabited by soul beasts. It could no longer be considered a soul beast habitat.

The toxins within the Poisonous Miasma were complex, a chaotic mixture. Based on the poisonous miasma left behind by Dugu Bo ten thousand years ago, it had absorbed the toxins of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower. After ten thousand years of change, those toxins had mixed with the various poisons produced by the decay of countless soul beast corpses, forming the Poisonous Miasma of today.

Because it was so complicated, Du Busi had previously been unable to distinguish the toxins of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower within it.

On the other hand, while "accidentally" studying the sect's records on poisonous herbs, Mu Yuan discovered the existence of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower. By linking it with the Poisonous Miasma and the history of ten thousand years ago, he gave Du Busi a direction for solving the problem.

After this period of analysis, Du Busi had finally roughly deciphered the toxic composition of this Poisonous Miasma.
