Although he had not met Di Tian directly this time, the fleeting aura of power he had sensed earlier was enough to tell him how formidable Di Tian was.

If they encountered him head-on, Yi Yi would definitely be no match for Di Tian. Defeat would be inevitable.

After all, Di Tian's cultivation had surpassed eight hundred thousand years, and his race was powerful as well. His combat strength was no joke.

Jing Chen even felt that if not for the God Realm's restrictions on soul beasts, Di Tian might have become a god long ago.

Against such a vicious beast that had already reached the ceiling of power for those who had not become gods in this world, Yi Yi was still no match for him.

He was also glad that he had not encountered Di Tian. That being was proficient in space; if he had been present, it was unknown whether Jing Chen would have been discovered upon hiding in the Time and Space Divine Tower.

If they were discovered after hiding in the Time and Space Divine Tower, it would be the end of him and Yi Yi.

After entering the Time and Space Divine Tower, the tower, shrunk to the size of a grain of sand, could be destroyed. He had tested this and was certain of it.

Just imagine it: if they hid inside the Time and Space Divine Tower and Di Tian discovered them, then shattered it, what would become of them?

"That was really dangerous." Thinking of this, Jing Chen looked back at the forest with lingering fear.

After this incident, he did not dare return to the forest's Core Zone with Yi Yi anytime soon.

Yi Yi's mass devouring of soul beasts had already become known to those vicious beasts and attracted their special attention.

If they still dared to come here, they would need to be mentally prepared for the possibility of encountering Di Tian.

For now, the number one vicious beast was still an almost unsolvable existence to them.

If they truly faced him, the chances of death would be high. To be safe, it was better not to take risks lightly.

"Although you do not have a spiritual attribute, your Spiritual Power is extraordinary. You should be able to withstand part of my Spiritual Power's impact."

An abrupt voice sounded beside Jing Chen's ear. The speaker's excitement was obvious.

"Hm?" Jing Chen, riding atop Yi Yi, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger whose body was already over five meters long, narrowed his eyes.

Because he was wary of Di Tian and the other vicious beasts, his nerves had been tightly strung. The voice startled him, and he thought Di Tian or the others had discovered them.

Only after hearing what the voice said did he relax. If it were Di Tian and the others, they would not speak like this.

"Wait, spiritual attribute?" After carefully considering those words, Jing Chen was suddenly startled and hurriedly told Yi Yi to stop.

Jing Chen jumped down from Yi Yi's back and carefully scanned his surroundings, trying to find the owner of the voice. He was still somewhat excited.

That sentence had reminded him of a soul beast, one with an extremely high cultivation and one that could be of great help to him.

"Huh? Why are you together with a soul beast, and why is your relationship so... harmonious?" The voice sounded again, this time filled more with surprise.

Because through his perception, he had discovered that the black tiger soul beast was obediently staying beside this human child without the slightest hint of ferocity.

He could tell that this black tiger soul beast was extremely evil. Logically, it should not be treating a human like this.

It was strange, even absurd, and for a moment, he forgot about the important matter at hand.

Jing Chen had no intention of answering and instead asked, "Who are you?"

"Good question." The owner of the voice praised him, then introduced himself in a narcissistic tone:

"I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the soul beast king who possesses both wisdom and beauty, an unparalleled powerhouse—the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm who has cultivated for a million years."

"Human boy, you are very lucky to have encountered me, because you are about to be chosen by me and become the number one genius in this world."

Jing Chen deliberately put on a surprised expression, though inwardly he was rather speechless. If I didn't know your situation, you might really have fooled me.

Never mind all those embellishments before that. Just the words "unparalleled powerhouse"—he had no idea how Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had the nerve to say them aloud.

Naturally, Jing Chen did not mock him at this moment. Instead, he focused on what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said afterward, and his heart grew heated.

"Chosen? Chosen how?" Jing Chen asked along with him, already beginning to look forward to it.

Unexpectedly encountering Sky Dream Ice Silkworm here was greatly beyond his expectations, but for him, it was absolutely a good thing.

"I will become your Wisdom Soul Ring and grant you a powerful soul ring and martial soul." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not waste words and directly stated his goal.

What he needed to do most now was test whether this human boy could truly withstand his spiritual energy.

If he could, then it would not be too late to explain things in detail. But if he could not, then explaining would be pointless and a complete waste of time.

After all, humans who could not withstand it had their minds collapse and died. Wouldn't speaking to them be the same as saying nothing?

Relying on his powerful Spiritual Power, he had been searching the forest for humans capable of bearing his Spiritual Power.

Over the past several thousand years, Jing Chen was not the first human he had found. Before him, there had been quite a few test subjects—or rather, failures.

After speaking, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not give Jing Chen a chance to ask further questions and immediately tried to inject Spiritual Power into Jing Chen's mind.

He was testing Jing Chen, observing his reaction after receiving the Spiritual Power. Only if he met the requirements would Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reveal his true form.

Not only was Jing Chen not displeased by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's direct approach, he approved of it. Being direct was good—it saved time for both sides.

He had not forgotten that he was still in the forest's Core Zone. This was not a place to linger.

The sooner Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished, the sooner he could slip away. Staying here made him feel far too unsafe.

"Yiyi!" Yi Yi bared his fangs viciously and instinctively wanted to stand in front of Jing Chen, but Jing Chen stopped him.

Jing Chen signaled Yi Yi not to move for now. He himself was expectant yet somewhat uneasy, worried that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power might also be ineffective against him.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power had already arrived. Jing Chen could clearly feel the spiritual energy touch his brain, then... disappear.

It had not entered his Sea of Consciousness. It simply vanished without a sound, as though it had never existed.

"How is this possible?" At the moment his Spiritual Power disappeared, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's horrified voice rang out.

As though afraid he had made a mistake, he injected another trace of Spiritual Power into Jing Chen's mind.

The result was much the same as before. His Spiritual Power was annihilated by a powerful force.

Fortunately, that bit of Spiritual Power was insignificant to him. Otherwise, he would have suffered backlash from it.

"So it really happens." Jing Chen's mood immediately worsened, and he felt somewhat disappointed. His earlier suspicion had come true.

His Sea of Consciousness was rather special. Foreign Spiritual Power simply could not enter it. Even the Spiritual Power of a million-year soul beast like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was no exception.
