Raising the Age Limit
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm channeled its spiritual power to gather and seal away all the excess energy in Yu Mingxiao's meridians and dantian, leaving only the energy that had already seeped into his limbs and bones, nourishing his body and refining his spiritual power.
Because it couldn't determine how much primordial energy Yu Mingxiao could withstand, it sealed nearly 70% of his power at once.
Before long, Yu Mingxiao's Sea of Spirit underwent another change, with seven enormous golden halos rising into the air, shining brightly alongside the Cyan Sun in the very center.
"Wow, your Sea of Spirit is so vast! It's not like a Soul Saint could possess such spiritual power. And the life energy is so abundant, it seems even more abundant than the Lake of Life."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was shocked, but as she enjoyed the life energy, she felt refreshed and invigorated.
Yu Mingxiao: "..."
He felt as if a worm capable of speaking was inhabiting his Sea of Spirit, which made him feel extremely uneasy.
Never mind, once I increase the age of the Soul Ring, I'll suppress it in my Second Sea of Consciousness.
Yu Mingxiao calmed his mind, mobilized his spiritual power, and took out the Dragon Core that he had been nurturing in his dantian.
He obtained this Dragon Core by chance when he was six years old in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Along with the Dragon Core, there was also a Spirit Bone, both originating from a fallen Radiant Sacred Dragon.
Dragon Core is an energy body that gradually condenses after a dragon reaches adulthood. It possesses the dragon's bloodline and the power of the dragon's origin and is used by dragons specifically to temper their spiritual consciousness.
He planned to directly infuse the Dragon Core's original energy into the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring, forcibly breaking through the age limit barrier.
The concern here is that the malevolent energy contained within the Dragon Core, and the excessively violent primordial energy, may cause backlash and damage to the Soul Ring.
However, none of this was a problem for him.
The Dragon-Slaying Blade was quietly dormant in its Second Sea of Consciousness, and since its Martial Soul was the ancestor of the Radiant Sacred Dragon, the Radiant Dragon King, it naturally wouldn't shy away from the sharp edge of that malevolent energy.
As for damage to his Soul Ring, he also has the Life Gold to stabilize Soul Ring.
What is this?
Seeing him staring at a bead, motionless in the mental space, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help but ask.
"Good stuff." Yu Mingxiao replied casually, then thought for a moment and said softly, "Later I will activate the Dragon Core to release its primal energy. You are connected to the primal energy of your Seventh Soul Ring, so actively guide the Soul Ring to accept the energy."
"Dragon Core?" Tian Meng nodded gently. "No problem, I will cooperate fully."
"Get ready, it's starting now, don't mess it up."
Yu Mingxiao used his mental power to guide the power within the Dragon Core, and as expected, the next moment triggered a backlash of malevolent energy.
The Dragon-Slaying Blade trembled slightly, and a flash of light appeared, instantly extinguishing the murderous aura that was about to strike Yu Mingxiao.
This malevolent aura is essentially the ferocious energy of the Dragon Clan, and the power of the Dragon-Slaying Blade is extremely effective at suppressing this aura.
With the disappearance of the malevolent energy, Yu Mingxiao no longer hesitated and confidently drew out the original energy of the Dragon Core.
Seeing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also began to guide the Soul Ring to accept these primordial energies.
This Seventh Soul Ring possesses only pure Mental Attribute; the ice attribute has been separated from it.
Therefore, the energy of light easily merged into this Mental Attribute Soul Ring.
These two gentle yet domineering attributes blended together perfectly, without causing any major upheaval.
Everything is proceeding smoothly...
Outside, seven Soul Ring rose uncontrollably from beneath Yu Mingxiao's feet: yellow, purple, purple, black, red, red, and a red ring with nine golden patterns. Their aura spread out, sending up dust and debris.
Gu Yuena said, "He's alright now. It seems the Ice Silkworm has stabilized its energy. I just don't know what he's still doing in the Sea of Spirit."
Na'er and Bi Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease.
Gradually, the Soul Ring with nine golden patterns under Yu Mingxiao's feet quietly changed, turning into pure gold at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hmm? This Soul Ring... it's actually trying to break through the million-year barrier? The aura of Dragon Core! Is he using the power of the Dragon Core core's essence to forcibly push the Soul Ring to the million-year level? He has another Dragon Core?"
Gu Yuena raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, the Soul Ring that had just transformed into gold began to tremble violently, frantically absorbing the life energy of the Second Sea of Consciousness to stabilize the Soul Ring's origin.
A moment later, the surrounding space rippled slightly, and the pressure of the Million-Year Soul Ring spread out!
This Million-Year Soul Ring has finally taken full shape!
The Sea of Spirit seemed to have undergone some kind of qualitative change. Yu Mingxiao felt a sudden clarity in his soul, as if he had touched upon some kind of ultimate truth of heaven and earth.
That is the manifestation of daylight, piercing through illusion and illuminating the eternal darkness.
That is the origin of the soul, formless and intangible, yet capable of penetrating the physical body.
It was a vast, boundless Void, large enough to contain the entire world, with the sun and moon rising and setting at breakneck speed, like a scene in fast-forward.
"This must be the Laws... My spiritual power can already sense its existence, but unfortunately, with my current strength, I am not yet able to truly master it."
Yu Mingxiao muttered to himself.
"It really has transformed into something that has been around for millions of years, it's simply a miracle!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help but boast, "If I had possessed a million years of cultivation before, how could I have been imprisoned by those Ferocious Beast? And that Di Tian? He would have been trampled under my feet long ago!"
Yu Mingxiao curled his lip and bluntly exposed his boast, "Stop bragging. With your strength, even if you really break through to a million years, you probably can't even beat a powerful ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"How could that be? Don't look down on me." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was full of indignation.
Yu Mingxiao said calmly, "I'm not going to waste my breath on you. After your Sacrifice, all you got was Soul Ring, and nothing else?"
In the original Douluo II novel, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave Huo Yuhao a Second Martial Soul with the ice attribute, which could only be generated by absorbing an ice attribute Soul Beast. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's original essence is still relatively complete, so it makes no sense that it would only give Huo Yuhao a Soul Ring after the Sacrifice, without any other treasures.
There might even be some good stuff like Spirit Bone.
Although from a biological perspective, Ice Silkworm do not have bones, the Douluo Continent does not follow such common sense; even grass can Spirit Bone!
After a moment's hesitation, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "I can use the remaining Spiritual Origin to condense a skull."
"I was just increasing the age of your Soul Ring, and I was afraid of interfering with you, so I didn't condense Spirit Bone immediately."
"In addition, I also separated out the ice attribute essence, which can form a blank ice attribute Martial Soul. This Martial Soul must absorb an ice attribute Soul Ring to take shape."
Yu Mingxiao's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "As expected of a 990,000-year-old Ferocious Beast, it's truly impressive."
He hadn't expected that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, whose origin was still relatively intact, could produce two treasures at the same time.
"Of course, I'm a king among Soul Beast, nearly a million years old!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raised its chin slightly, its chubby tail almost reaching the sky.
Yu Mingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You're getting all smug after I said a few words to you. This ice-attribute Martial Soul is useless. You're not trying to trick me into going to the Far North to find the Ice Empress, are you?"
Having too many Martial Soul isn't necessarily a good thing.
Without the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings Martial Soul, his Radiant Dragon King is already the top-tier Martial Soul of the world. Even if he had an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, it wouldn't be of much use, unless it were the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.
However, since there is no connection between Martial Soul, their usefulness remains limited.
The Ice Dragon King cannot perform Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the Radiant Dragon King or the Dragon-Slaying Blade.
At most, it means you can absorb more Soul Ring and level up a little faster.
"Huh? You... how did you know?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned.
It did indeed intend for Yu Mingxiao to go to the Ice Empress, who knew many powerful Ferocious Beast and had extensive connections. It was a good opportunity to use Yu Mingxiao's power to go to the Far North and persuade the Ice Empress to Sacrifice.
Yu Mingxiao said with a half-smile, "I knew it. You little bug, you do have some cunning."
"Let me explain!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly tried to explain.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's condense the Wisdom Skull first," Yu Mingxiao said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll condense it right away." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to condense the Wisdom Skull while sealing the energy within it.
Just now, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring was forcibly elevated to a million years. The Soul Ring is connected to the soul body's origin, and it itself is sublimated accordingly. Therefore, what is condensed is also a true million-year-old Wisdom Skull.
