Big Bugs Aren't Impossible

"Whoa, so this is the Killing Domain?" Huo Yuhao murmured after escaping the White Tiger Duke Mansion using Spirit Eye Illusion.

He had only completed the fourth of the remaining two options.

As for the third...

He didn't have a daughter, for heaven's sake!

Thinking about it made him angry; he had almost been caught by the people from the Duke Mansion because of that.

Fortunately, Spirit Eye Illusion was powerful enough.

The Killing Domain provided by the fourth option was also very strong.

Within the domain, the attack power of all living beings was reduced by 30%.

His own attack power was increased by 10%.

Furthermore, it had a special effect: for every soul master killed, its power increased by an additional 1%.

It really was a case of killing anyone he saw, just as Huo Yuhao had imagined.

It just felt a bit evil.

"Why do I feel like I'll be mistaken for an Evil Soul Master..." Huo Yuhao thought to himself after sensing the effects of the Killing Domain soul skill.

"No, wait. If I don't tell anyone, who would know?"

One year later.

Star Luo Empire.

A blue-haired youth dressed in white was hurrying along the road.

It was Huo Yuhao, who had been living in the wilderness for a full year.

After waiting so long, he was now planning to set off for the Star Dou Great Forest to unlock the heaven-defying cheat that was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

If Electrolux also showed up, then it would be a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

He was currently on the edge of the Star Luo Empire, very close to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Theoretically, he shouldn't run into the Tang Sect duo.

Other than a change of clothes, the only thing Huo Yuhao had on him was the White Tiger Dagger.

No maps, no soul coins, no rations—nothing.

This year of wilderness living had nearly turned him into a savage.

But it wasn't a big problem; as long as there was a river on the way, there would be food, and as long as there was food, he wouldn't starve, and if he didn't starve, he would win.

Before long, he arrived near a river.

"You, jump out yourself."

Locking eyes with the fish, Huo Yuhao commanded.

This was another use of Spirit Eye Illusion, which was quite practical; relying on this, Huo Yuhao basically had meat for every meal.

"Enough, that's enough."

After several fish jumped out in succession, Huo Yuhao skewered them and grilled them directly.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao grilled fish right here and then met the Tang Sect duo.

However, Huo Yuhao shouldn't be meeting them.

If he ran into them even after all this, Huo Yuhao would have to run away early to avoid contact.

"Oh my, this smells so good." Huo Yuhao sighed as he smelled the aroma wafting from the grilled fish.

This wasn't his first time grilling fish, but it felt like it smelled better every time.

It seemed he had perfectly inherited the original owner's grilling skills.

Just as Huo Yuhao finished eating two fish, a delicate voice rang out, "What is that scent! It smells so good!"

"Holy crap, a cheat!"

Huo Yuhao dropped the fish bones and immediately bolted toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not long after Huo Yuhao left, a man and a woman appeared where he had been grilling the fish.

"Huh? Why is there no one here?" the girl with long pink hair asked, puzzled.

"Maybe they just left. There are still two freshly grilled fish here; if we wait, they should be back," the boy with short dark blue hair analyzed.

"Alright then." The girl with long pink hair stared longingly at the two grilled fish.

Little did they know, Huo Yuhao had run off the moment he heard Tang Ya.

"Beibei, do you think we should recruit him into our Tang Sect?"

"Forget it, Xiao Ya, you know exactly what state the Tang Sect is in."

"How bold! What did you just call me?" Tang Ya immediately glared at Beibei.

Beibei waved his hands helplessly, "Nothing, Teacher Tang Ya, you misheard."

While the two were flirting, Huo Yuhao had already run up to a wooden sign.

This wooden sign was exactly the one Huo Yuhao had passed in the original story.

It read: You are about to enter the Star Dou Great Forest, please beware of soul beasts.

It seems I haven't gone the wrong way. Seeing the words on the rotting wooden sign, Huo Yuhao confirmed that he had arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

This year of living in the wild had increased his physical stamina significantly.

It had also made him much better at running away.

Huo Yuhao pulled out the White Tiger Dagger and continued walking into the Star Dou Great Forest.

He knew the subsequent developments very well.

Of course, it would be best if the Wind Baboon did not appear.

As he walked, his Spirit Eyes began to sound an alarm.

This meant that the Wind Baboon had appeared!

A shadow quietly appeared in Huo Yuhao's field of vision.

Their eyes met!

Illusion activated!

"You, take this White Tiger Dagger."

The Wind Baboon mechanically took the White Tiger Dagger.

"Commit suicide."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's command, the Wind Baboon did not hesitate at all and struck itself.

Blood immediately gushed out!

With another slash, the Wind Baboon lost all signs of life and fell to the ground, a white soul ring floating above it.

"Total slaughter; this newbie village boss is nothing special."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao raised his hand and slammed it onto the ground!

He shouted, "Summoning Jutsu! Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!"

Tree: "..."

Ground: "..."

Huo Yuhao picked up the White Tiger Dagger and looked around as if nothing had happened.

It was at this moment that a voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Wuwuwuwu, wuwuwuwu, I've finally found one, finally... a human with a spiritual attribute!"

It had finally arrived, and the heart that had been hanging in Huo Yuhao's chest settled down.

As long as he captured the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, wouldn't the Ice Empress and Snow Empress be within his reach?

Not far in front of him, a giant pit suddenly appeared, and then, a massive baby silkworm crawled out from the hole.

Hehehe, just one last step. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would abandon its soul beast body, transform into a wisdom soul ring, and enter Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Then, in the days to come, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would never be able to escape his clutches.

If the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew what Huo Yuhao was thinking right now, it might be scared enough to crawl right back in.

Unfortunately, it did not possess mind-reading abilities.

With the appearance of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the surrounding temperature dropped.

Huo Yuhao's breath even turned into icy mist.

However, although the temperature had dropped, a smile still curled at the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth.

It was just that, hidden by the icy mist, it wasn't very clear.

Huo Yuhao sized up this super-sized baby silkworm.

It was entirely pearly white, and despite crawling out of a mud pit, there wasn't a speck of dirt on its body.

Moreover, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had ten gold rings on its body.

Each one represented one hundred thousand years of cultivation; ten meant one million years.

[Ding!]
