Seizing Tian Meng's Spirit Origin

He wanted both Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.

Over the years, he had had his clansmen search everywhere in their spare time for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Yet they had never found any trace of him.

That big bug had hidden himself too well.

In that case, he could only act after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice.

Indeed, Di Tian and the others had devoured Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year origin, but his million-year Spirit Origin still remained.

This was good stuff, a truly nourishing treasure.

It was precisely what he lacked.

Using Taotie's devouring ability, he completely swallowed and concealed his own aura within his body, disguising himself as a Golden Earth Dragon of over nine thousand years before heading to where the story would begin.

He did not have to wait long before he sensed the powerful energy fluctuations released by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice.

This power was enough to knock out any Soul Beast below ten thousand years on the spot, but Jiang Heng, a Soul Beast with one hundred and seventy-six thousand years of cultivation, could easily withstand it.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's use of spiritual power was truly abysmal.

Immediately afterward, the sky shifted again, and a black bead shot toward the place where Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was making his sacrifice.

"Now!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Heng burst out of the earth and appeared directly before Huo Yuhao.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao was still talking with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his Spirit Sea. He had not noticed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast approaching at all.

The instant Jiang Heng appeared, he put away Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Molt.

Then, his dragon claw pressed directly onto Huo Yuhao's head.

"Come out!"

He mobilized his spiritual power and activated the power of devouring, pouring it directly into Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea and plundering it madly.

"Yuhao, let me tell you, with me here, you..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had still been boasting to Huo Yuhao when a powerful devouring force struck, wildly seizing everything. Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea was on the verge of collapse.

"A... a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reacted first, but in that brief instant, half of his ten clusters of spiritual origin had already been taken.

"Yuhao..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had just been about to resist when the pressure of the Taotie Bloodline descended again, reaching straight into his soul.

With that delay alone, another twenty percent of his spiritual origin was taken.

Looking at the three remaining clusters of spiritual origin, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt like crying.

Why was he so unlucky?

He had just made his sacrifice, only to encounter a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

If only he had been given a little more time to reinforce the seal, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would not have been able to take what belonged to him.

He seriously suspected that the person he had sacrificed himself to was some kind of jinx, a harbinger of bad luck.

Otherwise, how could they have run into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest?

He still had a chance to escape.

He could take his remaining Spirit Origin and flee Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea.

But then what?

He only had a three-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Origin left. Using an escape technique would consume a hundred thousand years of Spirit Origin, leaving him with only two hundred thousand years.

And he still wanted to create a god? Dream on.

"Yuhao, I'll take you out of here first!"

In the end, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made his decision and fled together with Huo Yuhao.

The price was a hundred thousand years of Spirit Origin.

Yet in that moment of delay, another hundred thousand years of his spiritual origin was taken.

"Trying to run?"

Sensing signs of space twisting between heaven and earth, Jiang Heng knew that it was impossible to seize all of the Spirit Origin.

So, in that final opening, he directly pulled Electrolux out of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea.

If Electrolux had been at his peak, Jiang Heng truly would not have dared to do this.

But the current Electrolux was merely a fragmented soul with incomplete memories.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao vanished from the spot. Fortunately, at the very last moment, Jiang Heng successfully seized Electrolux's remnant soul.

After doing this, he did not linger in place at all. He turned and burrowed underground, leaving the area.

Not long after Jiang Heng and Huo Yuhao vanished, two figures approached.

They were Beibei and Tang Ya.

"Where's Yuhao?"

"We clearly saw him heading this way just now!"

"Could a Soul Beast have eaten him?"

Tang Ya looked at the corpse of the ten-year Wind Baboon lying there, and her heart felt strangely hollow, as though she had missed something extremely important.

It was not just Tang Ya. In the God Realm, Tang San, who had been watching the flow of fortune on the Douluo Continent, also darkened.

"What's going on?"

"The Child of Destiny was clearly about to make contact with the Tang Sect, yet he vanished at this moment."

Tang San's breathing gradually became rapid. He was furious.

The grand ten-thousand-year plan he had laid out for so long had died before it could even begin.

What puzzled him most was that the fortune of that rising star had suddenly plummeted, becoming so weak that he no longer seemed like a Child of Destiny.

"Was it the Plane Consciousness concealing him, or Destruction's doing?"

At that thought, Tang San's eyes darkened.

He silently swore in his heart, "No matter who it is, anyone who dares sabotage this God King's plan has already chosen the path to death!"

Elsewhere, carried along by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he and Huo Yuhao traveled thousands of miles before arriving in the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Why am I so unlucky?"

"I finally became a Million Year Soul Beast, only to be caught by Di Tian and imprisoned for ten thousand years. I managed to escape with my origin intact, finally found a suitable Soul Master, and then someone took eight hundred thousand years of my Spirit Origin..."

Within Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wailed bitterly.

He was truly too miserable.

Originally, he had left himself a way out. So long as Huo Yuhao had not reached the Soul Sage realm and had not fully refined his spiritual origin, he could flee at any time with his Spirit Origin.

But now, only a hundred thousand years of spiritual origin remained. He no longer even had a chance to run.

He was completely bound to Huo Yuhao.

"Brother Sky Dream, I-I'm sorry. I caused this..."

Huo Yuhao did not know exactly what had happened. He only knew that Brother Sky Dream had lost many things because of him.

"Yuhao, it's not your fault. I failed to consider things carefully enough. I never expected to encounter a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm controlled his emotions and instead comforted Huo Yuhao.

There was no helping it. He had no other choice now and could only keep walking this path to the bitter end.

For his own sake and Huo Yuhao's, he could not slack off anymore. He had to keep watch over everything concerning Yuhao at all times and absolutely could not let another accident happen.

Two dejected souls, both with no way back, instead grew closer. Licking each other's wounds, they developed a great understanding in just a single day.

As for Jiang Heng, he had already returned to the Underground Palace with his bountiful harvest.
