Mandala Snake Held in the Mouth

"...That is how it is, I am starting now."

After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished his explanation, "Wait..."

Before Huo Yuhao could fully accept the reality that a million-year Soul Beast was about to become his Soul Ring, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm transformed into a stream of white light, carrying a bone-chilling cold, and surged into his body.

At that very moment, the clear sky suddenly dimmed, and a thunderous roar erupted high above; from a rift torn open in space, a gray current of air descended from the heavens, but upon reaching mid-air, it suddenly paused for a moment, as if it had sensed something, and flew off in the completely opposite direction.

God Realm, a towering palace.

The man with long water-blue hair dressed in luxurious robes had cold light flickering in his eyes, his expression turning abruptly sinister.

Who is it?

Who dares to disrupt my plans?

He was extremely furious.

A few days ago, Douluo Star, which had been perfectly normal, suddenly underwent an anomaly; the destiny of the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, had become illusory, difficult to observe.

This was not a good omen.

He had attempted to find the cause, only to discover that Douluo Star had become obscured, and no matter what method he used, he could not observe it clearly.

Worse still, as a God King, he was actually unable to deduce the future of Douluo Star.

Everything, every single thing, was vaguely signaling that the future was about to slip out of his control, making him incredibly restless.

And just a moment ago, an extremely ominous premonition had suddenly emerged, also impossible to investigate.

Something must have happened, and it must be dealt with!

But who exactly is it?

What kind of accident could have occurred on Douluo Star?

Why must problems arise right now?

Tang San's expression was icy; if not for the fact that God of Destruction had been monitoring him, restricting his movements, he would have already split a portion of his consciousness to descend upon Douluo Star and resolve it!

Damn that God of Destruction...

"Third Brother..."

A woman in a pink dress walked over, her stunningly beautiful face revealing a hint of worry, her long scorpion-braid hanging gently down to her shapely hips, her waist slender enough to be encircled by a hand, outlining a perfectly captivating figure.

"Has something happened?"

The coldness in Tang San's expression melted instantly; as he turned his head, his smile became warm and gentle, like the spring breeze of March.

"It's nothing, I was just missing Xiao Qi."

Xiao Wu immediately gave him an annoyed look:

"Then why did you let her sneak down to the mortal realm?"

That is your daughter!

Tang San smiled helplessly, The voice was gentle:

"Xiao Qi has already grown up; we must respect her wishes. Besides, Da Ming and Er Ming are there too."

"Nothing will happen."

Xiao Wu sighed and nodded.

Even though her heart was filled with reluctance, she had no choice but to accept it.

Tang San comforted Xiao Wu, but the gloom in the depths of his eyes did not fade in the slightest.

Indeed, Da Ming and Er Ming were still in the lower realm, and it was time for them to be of some use.

He plotted in his heart how to bypass the attention of the God of Destruction and issue orders to the two Soul Beasts.

"Too weak, isn't this too pathetic?"

"But regardless, Brother is finally free! Goodbye to those bastards who treated Brother as food! Wahahaha!"

As the mental power of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rapidly retracted, several terrifying auras suddenly emerged from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, fluctuating violently at the same time.

They seemed to be sensing something, but the Star Dou Great Forest stretched for ten thousand miles; how could it be so easy to find?

They were destined to return empty-handed.

"..."

Done.

As the team marched, Lu Ran held Jiang Nannan's hand, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

At this moment, within his mental world, a tiny, grey ball of light floated, nearly on the verge of extinguishing, extremely faint.

Yet the light it emitted

was unimaginably pure and ancient, as if it had weathered ten thousand years of time.

An aged yet weary voice resonated in Lu Ran's mind:

"Kid, this old man will borrow your space for a while..."

Before the sentence was even finished, the voice grew fainter and fainter until it vanished completely.

One could imagine just how weak Electrolux was.

Lu Ran let out a complete sigh of relief.

With the help of Elder Yi, the future would be much smoother. Compared to those fools who claimed to possess world-shaking wisdom, Elder Yi truly possessed peerless wisdom and infinite knowledge. More importantly, he was completely trustworthy and would not harm him.

"Look ahead, everyone...!"

Tang Ya, walking at the very front of the team, suddenly spoke up

and hurried forward.

The group looked in the direction she indicated.

Lying on the ground ahead

were Huo Yuhao and a pool of blood from a Wind Baboon.

Bei Bei's gaze sharpened. He exchanged a look with Lu Ran and stepped forward to examine the Wind Baboon's corpse. The blood on the ground was already beginning to coagulate, and the wound was smooth, clearly caused by a sharp weapon.

His gaze shifted to the dagger beside Huo Yuhao, and he roughly guessed what had happened.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over..."

Tang Ya looked full of regret, squatting beside Huo Yuhao with a mournful face:

"It's all my fault. If we had walked together, he wouldn't have died..."

"Wuwu... it's all my fault..."

Bei Bei looked helpless.

"Xiao Ya, he isn't dead yet..."

"Not dead?"

As they spoke, Huo Yuhao slowly regained consciousness, opening his eyes to see the four people around him, looking somewhat dazed.

Tang Ya let out a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death."

Once her reason reclaimed the high ground of her intellect, she sensed something was wrong.

There was no Soul Ring on the Wind Baboon's corpse; it had either been absorbed or dissipated.

Judging by the timing, it was highly likely the former.

Sensing the fluctuations of soul power on Huo Yuhao, which were slightly stronger than before, "You didn't absorb the Wind Baboon's Soul Ring, did you?"

Huo Yuhao froze, looking at the Wind Baboon's corpse. After blinking, his expression turned natural.

"Yes..."

Lu Ran didn't even need to guess; it was the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm prompting him.

After a brief moment of trance, Huo Yuhao examined his hands, then his entire body, looking incredulous.

Finally, he summoned his Soul Ring, a glowing white ten-year Soul Ring!

His face was full of excitement.

Everyone present noticed the momentary mental fluctuation when he released his soul skill.

"A Mental-type Martial Soul?"

Tang Ya and Bei Bei spoke in unison.

The legendary, rare Mental-type Martial Soul?!

After some investigation, they discovered it wasn't just a Mental-type Martial Soul, but a Body Martial Soul!

After the excitement passed, Tang Ya sighed mournfully, "If you had come with us, you definitely could have absorbed a hundred-year Soul Ring."

She said with regret, a pity, truly a pity.

Even if it was Mental-type, a ten-year Soul Ring was of little use.

However, there was no regret on Huo Yuhao's face, only excitement; he was much more spirited than when he had left.

Tang Ya simply assumed he didn't understand the gap between a ten-year Soul Ring and a hundred-year Soul Ring.

However...

She pondered, such a small child, coming to hunt souls alone, not even knowing the difference between Soul Rings.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is so dangerous; where is your family? Didn't they come with you?"

Mentioning family, Huo Yuhao's excitement faded, his mood turning somewhat dejected.

"No... just me..."

"Hm?!"

Tang Ya was delighted, clenching her fists as she said, "An orphan? Ha! That's great!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Kindness is one thing, but sometimes she really does speak without using her brain.

Bei Bei raised his hand and tapped her head.

Tang Ya also realized her words were inappropriate, stuck out her tongue, and gave a dry laugh:

"No, I mean..."

She immediately put on a serious expression:

"That's truly a shame..."

"But, since you're alone, why not join our Tang Sect?"

She waved her little fist, "Our Tang Sect is very formidable!"

However, sensing the three gazes beside her, her momentum faltered a bit, and she said weakly:

"It used to be really formidable..."

Lu Ran inexplicably thought of the research and records on Blue Silver Grass, and somewhat agreed with her words; at least in terms of researching Blue Silver Grass, they were indeed formidable.

Huo Yuhao heard "Tang Sect,"

and became excited.

He had only heard that the Tang Sect was once the foremost sect before declining.

He didn't know the rest, but it was once the continent's number one sect.

"We have many formidable treasures. Have you heard of Mysterious Heaven Skill? Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon? Mysterious Jade Hand? We can teach you all of them,"

Tang Ya's voice was filled with temptation.
