The Bizarre Sea of Consciousness

"Hmm..."

Oscar had barely uttered a syllable when a surge of extreme cold nearly caused him to lose consciousness.

He watched as the giant, fleshy worm lunged toward him, and in the next instant, his ability to think was almost entirely frozen!

He saw the ten golden rings on the body of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pulsing as if they had come to life; its round head magnified rapidly before his eyes until it finally pressed against him.

The ten golden rings quickly enveloped his body, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm itself transformed into streams of white radiance, pouring continuously into his body.

"Hmm?"

The confused voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reached him, followed immediately by a sense of delight.

"Eh? What is this?"

The voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm came through, and it was clear that he had noticed the Spirit Bone on Oscar's body!

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was unfamiliar with the aura of this Spirit Bone, the scent of a powerhouse flowing from it could not be hidden from him.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll repair this Spirit Bone before the sealing; being a Wisdom Spirit Ring is truly no easy task!"

Much of his spirit power had been drained, but some still remained, which he poured into the Spirit Bone that had originated from an unknown spirit beast, while Oscar felt the gentle, warm current emanating from the bone.

At the same time, an invisible mental fluctuation spread outward from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as it poured itself into Oscar, and the terrifying mental power covered every corner within a hundred-mile radius in an instant.

As everything in the surroundings was blanketed by this mental wave, a brief silence fell over the area.

The mental shock did not possess great destructive power, but it was capable of causing all living creatures to lose the ability to think for a short period.

At this moment, the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest was deathly still.

It was also at this time that the sky, which had been perfectly clear a moment ago, suddenly darkened. A thunderous roar echoed through the high heavens, and in that instant, the light of the sun was completely blocked by darkness.

A massive, suffocating pressure descended from the sky!

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which was struggling to merge itself into Oscar's body, shuddered violently as that thunderous roar sounded. Its two small golden eyes rolled upward to look at the sky.

A look of horror instantly appeared in its eyes, mixed with a hint of bewilderment!

Clearly, the oppressive atmosphere in the sky had nothing to do with it and was far beyond its comprehension.

Oscar also craned his neck to look at the sky, slightly stunned.

Is misfortune the companion of fortune? Or does good luck come in pairs?

A stream of gray energy, as if encountering a massive suction force, descended from the sky. In just a split second, it landed at the back of Oscar's head and was about to drill inside!

"Chaos Gold Lock!"

Oscar activated the Chaos Gold Lock, turned his body, and rolled quickly to the side.

"What thing dares to snatch someone from me?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm roared, and immediately, a massive mental wave surged forth, attempting to drive away the gray stream of energy!

But the abilities of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no effect on that blurred figure!

A highly indistinct figure appeared where Oscar had been standing, and an aged voice resonated with an indescribable majesty.

"Hmm? An interesting little fellow and a little worm."

He looked directly at the two little guys before him; in that very instant, he had sensed that he seemed to have become disconnected from the surrounding environment.

Oscar crouched on the ground, panting slightly, before slowly straightening his body.

Good grief, he had only used the Chaos Gold Lock on this figure once, and he was already nearly exhausted. Just what was this guy?

"Holding the sun and moon in my hand, plucking the stars; there is no one in this world like me. I never expected that I, this old man, would still have a sliver of a remnant soul remaining."

Facing all the countermeasures from the two, the blurred, illusory figure seemed completely unaffected. With a "whoosh," he dove into the back of Oscar's head and vanished.

Oscar and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and shock.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not dare to increase its mental shock at this moment; although Oscar's physical body was decent, he was already completely drained and bleeding from his seven orifices after using that ability.

Helpless, it could only let the situation play out.

But to the surprise of both, that figure emerged from Oscar's body once again.

"Little fellow, your Sea of Consciousness..."

The figure hesitated, leaving the sentence unfinished. He had seen too many strange Seas of Consciousness, but this was his first time seeing one like Oscar's.

Oscar and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were both stunned. Sea of Consciousness?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm thought for a moment; it was true that this guy didn't have a Sea of Consciousness. If one had to say he did, it would only be that bizarre place.

Oscar was also somewhat confused. He knew about mental power and had heard of the Sea of Consciousness, but the Inner Scene possessed by a warlock was vastly different from a Sea of Consciousness.

Perhaps... that was his own Sea of Consciousness?

"Forget it... little fellow, find something that can replenish the source of life as soon as you have the chance. I will build a second Sea of Consciousness for you; you should use this current one less in the future."

After speaking, the blurred figure dove into Oscar's Inner Scene, transformed into a gray bead the size of a soybean, and then fell silent.

As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the blurred figure appeared within the Inner Scene, the entire space began to behave abnormally.

Although the entire Inner Scene remained under Oscar's control, countless light orbs emerged at the locations where the two entities resided, and some even showed signs of evolving into massive fireballs.

This was equivalent to having countless landmines buried in one's own home; at any moment, these mines could go off with a bang, and the three of them would be finished.

"I can't be that unlucky, can I? I finally found a human with a spiritual attribute, and now some bastard is trying to snatch him away. Is heaven jealous of my talent? I'm so pitiful!"

Despite his grumbling, the movements of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were not slow in the slightest.

The thick white light gradually became more and more solid, slowly pouring into the body of Oscar, while its own physical form grew increasingly transparent and rapidly shrank in size during the process.

From the moment it began injecting its power into Oscar, there was no turning back.

Oscar's body had completely turned a jade-like white, just like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been earlier, and the internal injuries he had sustained from using Feng Hou Qi Gate were gradually healing.

"Stop complaining. When that guy wakes up, talk to him and tell him to try not to let his thoughts run wild. See those light orbs? If even one of them turns into a fireball and goes boom, the three of us are done for."

"Hahaha, I know, I know. Regardless, I... my little brother is finally free. Those bastards who treated me like food, you won't have a chance anymore, hahahaha... ugh..."

The triumphant voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gradually faded, and the massive spiritual power that had previously covered a hundred-mile radius retracted at an astonishing speed, eventually vanishing.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, several terrifying auras fluctuated violently at the same time, as if sensing something, but they were destined to return empty-handed.

Oscar naturally sensed all of this and understood that the crisis the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple had encountered earlier was related to this giant fat worm.

Come to think of it, now that he had received the benefits from this giant fat worm, he would have to resolve the trouble it had caused himself.

He shook his head; whatever belonged to him would come eventually, whether good or bad, so he would just let nature take its course.

Oscar raised his hand, and a sausage—entirely snow-white with fine golden threads, looking like gold-inlaid jade—appeared in his palm, while one purple and one white Spirit Ring appeared around the sausage, spinning incessantly.

"Come to think of it, what is my spirit skill?"
