Tianmeng: I Raised a God!! My Brain is Trembling!! Even If I Die, I Have No Regrets!

"Master, your foresight is truly divine! I, this little worm, indeed possess the method for such a sacrifice!"

"But how could a mere wisdom soul ring compare to the highest realm of sacrifice—the soul sacrifice?"

"To offer up that portion of power used to store the soul, along with my entire will, leaving not a single shred behind for my master!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had completely lost his mind, raving frantically:

"Even though I might never be able to taste such delicious Mystic Ice Marrow again, Master! You have no idea!"

"Although the ten-thousand-year Mystic Ice Marrow surpasses you in total energy and density, when it comes to flavor!!"

"It isn't even fit to carry your shoes!!"

"Haa..."

As he spoke, the worm actually started drooling again.

Xu Qing was naturally quick-witted; he couldn't let it go to waste.

"It is like the bright moon in the sky compared to a crawling insect on the ground; the gap is as vast as a chasm!!"

Hearing this, he curled his lips, the information of the first three soul rings of his Mystic Ice Marrow martial soul appearing in his mind.

[First Soul Ring: 1,800 years!]
[Origin: The Heavenly King species of the Far North! The Titan Snow Demon clan!]
[Soul Skill Effect: Host's energy density increased by 100%, purity increased.]

[Second Soul Skill: 4,600 years!]
[Origin: The Heavenly King species of the Far North! The Titan Snow Demon clan!]
[Soul Skill Effect: Host's energy density increased by 200%, purity increased.]

[Third Soul Skill: 19,000 years!]
[Origin: The Heavenly King species of the Far North! The Titan Snow Demon clan!]
[Soul Skill Effect: Host's energy density increased by 300%, purity increased.]

Ninety-nine percent! So pure!

This Mystic Ice Marrow really is packed with flavor!

Xu Qing shook his head and sighed silently, thinking:

The only fly in the ointment is... my soul ring configuration, which far exceeds the standard age limits.

It all relies on my innate silver-level awakened body martial soul—Self.

But because of this, every time he finishes absorbing a soul ring, the energy feedback from the ring is absorbed by it.

Otherwise, without these supplements, his spiritual power wouldn't have grown so rapidly.

And these soul ring skills are a bit of a pity; the increase in energy density only manifests after the soul ring is attached.

It would be great if they were passive skills.

As for that strange fragrance, perhaps some kind of peculiar change occurred after the ring fusion.

After all, to him, the scent was faint and a bit nose-numbing.

He didn't find it fragrant at all.

Perhaps this is the gap between him and others.

Other insects: So fragrant, so fragrant! I can't take it.

Xu Qing: It's just average.

It's just... you know.

"Hehehe."

Xu Qing looked at the big worm with clearer eyes and said earnestly:

"Tian Meng, I will make good use of your power. Believe me, with my talent, I am destined to become a god in the future!!"

"Once I become a god, the first thing I will do is resurrect you!"

"By then, you will be able to use your physical body to carefully, slowly, bite by bite, truly taste the flavor of my god-level Mystic Ice Marrow!"

His tone was coaxing, paired with another piece of Mystic Ice Marrow that appeared in his hand at just the right moment.

He looked exactly like a pyramid scheme leader.

"God, god, god-level!!!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, however, didn't find any issues with this at all; at this moment, he was completely enthralled.

His whole body trembled violently!

Master's three-ring Mystic Ice Marrow was already so delicious that consuming it made his soul tremble, as if he were ascending to heaven!

What about after reaching level one hundred and becoming a god!?

Not to mention that Master also promised to resurrect this little worm after becoming a god!

And that god-level Mystic Ice Marrow!!

"Wuwuwawa! Master!"

"Wait! I still have my molted shell! Yes! The skin left behind after the little worm's sacrifice is of great use!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's insect brain was already stuffed with thoughts of becoming a god, eternal life, and the god-level Mystic Ice Marrow.

"You will only need to refine it a little, then have your master—that is, my ancestor, the peerless warrior at level ninety-nine—take you to the Far North!"

"With the aura I left on this insect skin, and the soul fluctuations from my million-year spirit ring..."

"No! How could I leave soul fluctuations behind?!"

As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke, its physical body began to shed its skin, and then it directly ignited its own spiritual sea!

"Doesn't keeping soul fluctuations consume energy? No! This must all be burned away too!"

"Ahhh!"

"Become a god! When I wake up next time, Brother will be the Insect God! Hehehehahaha!"

BOOM—!!!

An incomparably massive golden beam of light erupted from Xu Qing, piercing straight into the clouds!

The clouds for dozens of miles around were churned into a vortex, and the soul power of heaven and earth surged wildly like boiling water.

Countless God-Slaying Wind Baboons were startled from the forest, scattering in a frantic escape.

The Blue Silver Grass on the ground was forced to bow in submission by this pressure, prostrating itself against the earth.

Countless strange golden symbols flowed across the surface of Xu Qing's body.

Listening closely, one could hear inexplicable sounds emanating from the void.

It was as if some existence were firing a salute for the birth of a king!

Directly opposite him, the physical body of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was rapidly fading within the golden light.

The ten golden rings around its body flickered incessantly, then poured all their radiance, all their soul, all their life force—everything—into Xu Qing's body without leaving a single trace behind.

This was a soul sacrifice!

Ignoring everything, regardless of whether you could withstand it, regardless of your level, under a soul beast's voluntary sacrifice of its own soul, one could absorb a spirit ring perfectly.

Xu Qing also came to his senses at this moment.

He stood up groggily and let out a satisfied burp.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he said contentedly:

"I'm carbon-drunk, give me..."

As he spoke, he opened his palm, in the center of which was a ring that had lost its color and was gradually dissipating.

"Hehehe, even though I had already exposed your true colors before you were influenced by the Mystic Ice Marrow, you were still so dishonest..."

Xu Qing crushed it in his hand and scattered it into the air, the tiny fragments reflecting seven-colored light in the sunlight.

"You still dared to try and trick me with a fake?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's behavior had been a bit too manic, which caught Xu Qing off guard; some of the measures he had prepared in advance hadn't even been needed.

As early as a year ago, Xu Qing had begun his experiments.

He had obtained a crucial piece of information from those ice-attribute spirit beasts.

This was also the fundamental reason why he dared to face a million-year spirit beast alone without changing his expression, even handling it with ease.

For those spirit beasts with wavering wills and cowardly personalities...

Xu Qing summoned his Mystic Ice Marrow martial soul, which shimmered with an eerie blue light.

"This Mystic Ice Marrow of mine is no different from poison."

"Once you've tasted it, you can never leave it behind..."

"But why didn't a spirit bone drop..."

Xu Qing picked up the crystalline insect skin from the ground and stuffed it into his spiritual sea.

"Doesn't a soul sacrifice guarantee a spirit bone drop? Is it because this worm didn't preserve its soul in the end?"
