Artificial Tian Meng, Devouring and Leveling Up

Gu Yu had no idea that Di Tian had already become obsessed with him and had sent Wan Yao Wang to search for information about him.

At that moment, he was doing something that concerned his future!

"Are you really going to give such a treasure to a useless bug?"

The Titan Snow Demon King had ultimately acknowledged Gu Yu's identity.

No, he had been bought off by the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in Gu Yu's hand.

Between Snow Empress and his future prospects, he had still chosen the latter.

After all, he was no fool. Snow Empress had beaten him badly enough to break his bones and had made her rejection clear, so he would not keep pestering her.

Now that he could get Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow for free, he would be a fool not to take it!

It was perfect for breaking through the 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation!

There were a full eighteen Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows within the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave.

However, Snow Empress had not claimed all of them. One Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was enough to cross the hurdle of a single 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation.

Snow Empress was now about to face the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation, followed by the 800,000-year, 900,000-year, and even 1,000,000-year tribulations.

Snow Empress chose to keep ten, leaving the remaining eight Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows for Gu Yu to handle.

Gu Yu, meanwhile, thought that since he was not an Ice Attribute soul beast, he could not make effective use of them at all.

Why not imitate Di Tian, imprison Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and cultivate by absorbing his life force and Soul Power?

Thus, he had the Titan Snow Demon Clan scour the Far North for Ice Silkworms. He was determined to select one gifted Ice Silkworm and force it to mature!

As for the method~

He would simply scare it!

Whichever one could withstand the Titan Snow Demon King's aura the longest would have the greatest talent.

Those scared to death did not count.

"Dad, wouldn't it be better to give it to me? I can protect you directly in the future, can't I?"

Xiao Bai stared fixedly at the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in Gu Yu's hand, drool practically spilling from his mouth. This was a divine treasure!

If not for obeying Snow Empress's orders, what right did a Dragon Baby that had just been born have to protect such a divine treasure? Soul beasts were simply this cruel.

On the other hand, it also showed that Snow Empress trusted Xiao Bai enough.

Otherwise, Gu Yu would not have dared take out the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow before the Titan Snow Demon King.

At that moment, two ferocious beasts surrounded a trembling Ice Silkworm.

They had searched the entire Far North before finding an Ice Silkworm with both a high cultivation base and decent talent.

As Gu Yu placed a lump of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow before the Ice Silkworm, the tiny creature, only eighteen inches long, greedily devoured the supreme treasure before it.

It had no understanding whatsoever of the danger about to befall it.

The Ice Silkworm visibly began to grow.

Eight hundred years, one thousand years, three thousand years, ten thousand years, eighty thousand years, until it finally reached a full hundred thousand years.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had only been a ten-year soul beast at the equivalent of thirteen years old for a soul beast.

By sheer luck, he had fallen into Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow and spent his days eating and sleeping his way to becoming a Million Year Soul Beast.

If he had lived aboveground, he likely would not have survived past the second day before becoming food for an Ice Jade Scorpion.

Yet this hundred-year Ice Silkworm A Tai had found had forcibly crossed the hundred-thousand-year threshold just like that.

Golden-Patterned Ice Silkworm!

It represented a cultivation base that had reached the hundred-thousand-year level!

And all of this came merely from devouring a single strand of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Xiao Bai and A Tai stared without blinking, unwilling to miss even the slightest detail. Though both were ferocious beasts, they had never been so nervous.

They feared the Heavenly Tribulation would descend, causing the experiment to fail. The Ice Silkworm being ruined did not matter; they could always find another.

But what would be lost was the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow!

As for surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.

Don't make them laugh.

With an Ice Silkworm's combat strength, any random hundred-year soul beast could kill it outright.

Fortunately, trash was still trash.

Its only advantage was that it really had not drawn the Heavenly Tribulation that filled soul beasts with despair.

Xiao Bai sighed. "How nice. There are actually soul beasts that do not have a hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation!"

A Tai rolled his eyes. "With that trash soul, even without danger, let alone a hundred thousand years, it would not reach ten thousand years in its entire life!"

"Alright, let's get down to business!"

Gu Yu rubbed his claws together and stepped between the two of them, preventing them from starting another fight.

He pressed a large hand onto the hundred-thousand-year Ice Silkworm.

In an instant, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Power surged forth visibly. One could clearly sense that this power was so pure that it could be directly absorbed and refined.

"An artificial power bank. Everyone who uses it says it's good!"

Xiao Bai and A Tai stopped talking nonsense. They hurriedly found places to sit and began absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power emitted by the hundred-thousand-year Ice Silkworm.

Poor little Ice Silkworm. Once a soul beast reached ten thousand years, its intelligence was comparable to that of a human. At a hundred thousand years, it could choose either to cultivate anew as a human or transform into one.

Yet everything had come so suddenly. It had been an Ice Silkworm quietly surviving on the Far North Plains, forced to endure the freezing weather while evading the hunting of its natural enemy, the Ice Jade Scorpion.

It was extremely difficult for the Ice Silkworm Clan to produce one with ten thousand years of cultivation. Reaching a thousand years already required tremendous luck.

It had quietly cultivated to a hundred years, believing it would become the supreme being of the Ice Silkworm Clan and lead its race to glory.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never mock the poor youth.

Unfortunately, upon leaving the Novice Village, it ran into max-level experts and could not win no matter how hard it fought.

It obtained a fortunate opportunity and reached a hundred thousand years, but before its happy thoughts could last long, it sensed its Soul Power and life force being violently drained away.

Before it was even old enough to speak, it was ravaged in turns by three burly men.

"Behave yourself!"

A Tai did not indulge it. He smashed down a fist, and the Ice Silkworm instantly behaved.

They were bullying the Ice Silkworm far too much!

At the same time, the sky over the entire Far North abruptly changed color. Martial souls gathered, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.

It was as if the world had come to an end.

The Far North Core Circle was the worst affected. Even the air was alive with jumping currents formed from the Lightning Element.

"What is this?"

A Tai was the first to react. He instantly withdrew from his cultivation state and stared blankly at the scene across the Far North, obvious worry appearing on his face.

"Xiao Bai, your mom's about to get struck by lightning!"

Xiao Bai reluctantly withdrew from cultivation. Hearing A Tai insult him, he instantly flew into a rage. "You dare insult me! Want to fight again? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"I'm saying your mom is about to get struck by lightning—Snow Empress's 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation!"

Only then did Xiao Bai react. Right!

It seemed that his mother's Heavenly Tribulation had arrived.

He immediately ran toward the center of the lightning tribulation, only for A Tai to stop him directly. A Tai snapped, "Are you sick? That's a soul beast's Heavenly Tribulation. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

"But..."

As the bear closest to Snow Empress, Xiao Bai knew that Snow Empress was not confident about reaching seven hundred thousand years. For this reason, neither he nor Ice Empress had seen Snow Empress for over ten thousand years.

Now that the Heavenly Tribulation had arrived so suddenly, how could he not worry?

"Don't worry. Since this guy can take out Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Snow Empress should be able to safely pass the seven-hundred-thousand-year mark without incident."

A Tai looked complicatedly at Gu Yu, who remained calm and unhurried in his cultivation state.

This dragon was incredibly lucky. Not only had he found Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, but he had now won the beauty as well.

If his luck had been this good back when he confessed, and he had brought Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow as a betrothal gift...

Would things have turned out differently?
