Crossing Douluo Continent: The Silver Dragon Sucks and Sucks, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Cries and Cries!
Star Dou Great Forest.
The twilight was heavy, and a cold wind carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees swept through the depths of the dense forest.
Huo Yuhao, covered in wounds, stumbled forward, each step a difficult struggle.
Having just escaped the Duke Mansion, his chest surged with nothing but resentment and obsession.
Why does the Spirit Eye martial soul lack even the slightest bit of offensive capability...
He gritted his teeth, squeezing the words out from between them as if using the pain to force himself to stay alert.
To obtain the first soul ring of his life, he had ventured alone into the perilous Star Dou Great Forest.
Along the way, he had been ambushed by a soul beast.
At this moment, the corpse of a Wind Baboon lay beside him, with a glowing white ten-year soul ring hovering above it.
Defeating this ten-year soul beast had already exhausted all his strength.
Blood continued to seep from the wounds all over his body, and his consciousness began to blur.
He could collapse in this dense forest at any moment and be devoured by soul beasts.
But he had to absorb the soul ring and become a soul master; only then could he avenge his mother!
Just then.
"Rumble!"
The earth shook and cracked open.
A white, giant worm several meters long burrowed out.
A voice that sounded very excited followed: "A mental-attribute martial soul—I've finally waited for you!!!"
A gentle yet irresistible mental force suddenly wrapped around Huo Yuhao's body.
Before he could offer any resistance, he was pulled into a vast, boundless mental world.
A giant silkworm, its body pure white and adorned with golden patterns, floated in mid-air.
"Little guy, do you want to become stronger?"
The mental sound wave exploded within Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, the tail end of the voice carrying a hint of casual mockery.
"Do you want to possess the power to change your destiny?"
Huo Yuhao's body trembled slightly, his mind surging with indescribable terror.
But when he recalled his deceased mother.
He clenched his fists tightly, bit his teeth until they drew blood, and spat out the deepest desire in his heart, word by word.
"I do."
"I want to become stronger!"
"I want everyone who has bullied me to pay a bloody price!"
The giant silkworm let out a low laugh, and the mental sound wave swept out once more.
"Very good. With that obsession, you are worthy of my gift."
"I am Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the first million-year soul beast in the history of the Douluo Continent!"
Huo Yuhao's breathing suddenly hitched.
"A... a million-year... soul beast?!"
One hundred thousand years was already the pinnacle of the world, but a million years...
His voice was trembling: "That is only a legend!"
"..."
Only Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew it wasn't a legend; he was indeed a million-year soul beast.
However, that million years of cultivation hadn't brought him any benefits.
It was only by consuming Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow that he had attained this supreme cultivation.
Yet, this cultivation had ultimately earned him only thousands of years of imprisonment.
The ten great fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had trapped him in the depths of a forbidden zone, using him as a battery to continuously drain his power.
For thousands of years, he had seen no sunlight, his essence being slowly devoured bit by bit.
Now, having escaped, his lifespan had already reached its end.
He was not willing to simply vanish into nothingness!
And the Huo Yuhao before him was the person he had chosen.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental power tightened suddenly, firmly locking onto Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
"Kid, I will become your soul ring—the first million-year intelligent soul ring in the history of the Douluo Continent!"
"!!!"
Huo Yuhao's heart hammered wildly, his terror long since replaced by overwhelming excitement.
"This is not a spirit ring condensed after a spirit master kills a spirit beast, nor is it a passive sacrifice made by a spirit beast at the brink of death."
The voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm deepened, each word sounding like the commencement of some grand design.
"This is a God-Making Project, with my entire origin as the wager."
"I will assist you in stepping to the pinnacle of the continent and becoming a true deity."
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate in the slightest, opening his sea of consciousness directly.
"I bet."
His voice was hoarse, yet resolute.
"Even if it means eternal damnation, it is better than being trampled upon like an ant."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes lit up: "Hahaha, Brother will surely lead you to the pinnacle of life!"
The God-Making Project officially commenced!
The million-year origin of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm surged into Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness and meridians.
The million-year spiritual power stirred up terrifying spiritual fluctuations and energy ripples that spread in all directions.
This power was far too tyrannical, directly shaking the barriers of this space.
Within the void, a tiny fissure quietly pried open.
A wisp of a remnant soul, having crossed planes and carrying endless loneliness and arrogance, drifted along the crack toward the source of the energy.
Holy Necromancer, Electrolux.
He was once the Child of Light of the Holy Demon Continent.
Betrayed by his closest kin and seeing his home and country destroyed, he fell from the peak of holy light into the abyss of the undead, single-handedly creating the Scourge of the Undead that swept across the entire continent.
After his origin was exhausted, the last wisp of his divine consciousness shattered the void, drifting through the endless void for ten thousand years.
Finally, at this moment, he arrived in this brand-new world.
At the same moment.
"Ding!"
A pink light gate appeared without warning on the open ground beside Huo Yuhao.
Su Hui stepped out from the light gate, and the Anywhere Door behind him dissipated instantly.
"This is..."
He had intended to use the Anywhere Door to avoid the patrols of the Ten Great Beast Kings of Star Dou in the core area.
He never expected his landing point to crash directly into the center of this million-year spirit beast sacrifice energy storm.
Before he could make sense of the turbulent energy surrounding him, a mass of gray light streaked down from the sky and slammed straight into his brain.
Immediately following, a voice that echoed through his soul exploded.
"Hahaha!"
"With the sun and moon in my palm, I pluck the stars; in this world, there is no one like me!"
"Hiss!!!"
Su Hui's sea of consciousness shook violently, his head aching unbearably.
A burning throb emanated from his palm.
The Silver Dragon Spear broke out of his body uncontrollably.
However, he could not care about such things now; he could only barely support himself with one hand, clutching his head as it throbbed with splitting pain.
After the Silver Dragon Spear flew out, it pointed directly at the location of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's true form.
A brilliant, silvery-white light erupted from the spear's body.
An irresistible devouring force was released toward the million-year origin that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was currently sealing layer by layer.
Inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual world, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been fully focused on reinforcing the layers of seals.
Suddenly, it sensed its origin power leaking outward at a terrifying speed.
"Wah! Who is stealing my origin! Damn it!!!"
It shrieked in exasperation.
It tried its best to pull its origin back.
But that devouring force was far too overbearing, leaving absolutely no room for obstruction.
"What kind of monster is this! Even the Ten Great Beast Kings of Star Dou can only nibble at my origin bit by bit; how can it swallow my origin like a whale!"
"Stop! Stop immediately! Let's talk this over!"
"Don't suck anymore! Wuwuwu, I beg you, stop sucking!"
The spiritual sound waves were filled with the panic of someone on the verge of a breakdown.
Su Hui's headache finally began to subside.
He raised an eyebrow, observing the actions of the Silver Dragon Spear and hearing the desperate pleas of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Putting together everything that had just transpired, he more or less understood the current situation.
The Silver Dragon Spear possessed an almost instinctual desire to devour any pure energy found between heaven and earth.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had simply happened to walk right into the line of fire.
"My apologies."
Su Hui's tone was calm, even tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"This spear has a mind of its own; your origin is simply too pure, and it is quite greedy for it."
"What do you mean, 'quite greedy'! I'm done! I request a withdrawal!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's shriek climbed another octave.
Yet, the devouring force of the Silver Dragon Spear only intensified.
The silvery-white radiance of the spear body grew increasingly brilliant, faintly revealing subtle golden patterns.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was in a complete panic.
It had already initiated the sacrifice to discard its physical body; its soul and origin were its everything, the capital it needed to complete this God-Making Project.
If it were drained of its power by this wretched spear, it would lose everything—how then could it create a god?
"Make it stop! I beg you!"
"I waited thousands of years for this chance, you cannot—"
The psychic waves shifted from a breakdown to pleading, and finally, to nothing but whimpering.
Yet the Silver Dragon Spear did not pause for even a fraction of a second.
The dragon spear had a spirit, and it recognized only Su Hui's will.
As long as Su Hui did not call for a halt, it would continue to drain until the target's origin was completely squeezed dry.
Within the span of a few breaths, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's shrieks began to fade.
Its originally luminous, crystalline body dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The psychic waves grew weaker and weaker, until finally, they were completely extinguished.
