Tian Meng Captured Successfully, Third Spirit Ring Black, Twenty Thousand Years!

Lin Hui held his breath and quickly swam back up, his upper body breaking the surface of the water.

"How was it? Did you discover anything down there?" Xiao Wu asked.

Lin Hui climbed out of the water.

"The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is most likely sealed at the bottom of the lake, but that place is too deep; I can no longer continue to dive."

Naturally, Xiao Wu fell into a new dilemma at this moment: should she help Lin Hui capture another soul beast?

If she called for Da Ming and Er Ming to help, they could dive to even the deepest parts of the lake.

She did not regret becoming Lin Hui's soul beast, but she felt it was improper to force a capture without seeking the consent of other soul beasts.

Seeming to perceive the conflict in Xiao Wu's eyes, Lin Hui explained.

"At this moment, Tian Meng is likely being used as a living battery, with slumbering fierce beasts constantly draining its energy!"

"Furthermore, it wouldn't be able to withstand the million-year heavenly tribulation in the end anyway!"

"By capturing it now, I am merely giving it a new path to survival."

"It's just like you back then; if you hadn't been captured by me, you would have been taken by Chrysanthemum Douluo, and you would have met a dead end."

"As long as I become a god, you can all enter the God Realm with me and live forever."

Xiao Wu thought back to her situation at that time and gradually began to understand.

"Become a god? That sounds like such a distant prospect!"

"But didn't I transform from a soul beast into a human precisely to escape the heavenly tribulation and seek eternal life after becoming a god?"

That was right; they had long been grasshoppers tied to the same rope!

Lin Hui summoned his Ultra Ball martial soul again and handed the Ultra Ball to the Blue Silver Emperor nearby, who accepted it with her vines.

"Ah Yin, please use your vines to take the Ultra Ball down. Once you see a white formation, bring the Ultra Ball into it."

As soon as Lin Hui finished speaking, the Blue Silver Emperor extended the vines bound to the Ultra Ball.

The vines probed downward continuously; this depth of several hundred meters was not difficult for the Blue Silver Emperor.

When the white formation came into view, the vines accelerated their descent, ultimately carrying Lin Hui's Ultra Ball martial soul directly into the formation.

Three seconds later.

The white formation erupted with an even more brilliant white light.

A surge of immense Soul Power suddenly rushed into Lin Hui's body.

Within Lin Hui's Sea of Consciousness, a white worm soon appeared.

At the bottom of the lake, the formation remained inscribed.

However, Tian Meng, who had been imprisoned by the formation, had bypassed the constraints of the array and escaped because it had been captured by Lin Hui's martial soul!

As Tian Meng's massive Soul Power poured in, Lin Hui's level-thirty soul master body gradually began to struggle to hold on.

Lin Hui sat on the ground, sweat pouring down like rain. His bones felt as if they were about to crack, and his meridians endured the collision of this million-year Soul Power.

"As expected of Tian Meng, this million-year Soul Power is truly formidable!"

Tian Meng, inside the Sea of Consciousness, stretched its many legs and looked around in confusion.

"Eh, did I escape?"

"It seems I've met someone fated; this is great! That Di Tian is truly a beast!"

"He treated this young master like a laborer day and night!"

"I was almost drained dry by them!"

Immediately, Tian Meng noticed that the soul master who had captured him was already in a state of extreme agony.

"What, my master is about to collapse!"

"That makes sense; I poured out nearly a million years of Soul Power all at once—no one could withstand that!"

"This guy's body is about to give out; I'd better restrain myself a little."

Tian Meng began to actively retract the Soul Power within its body, eventually sealing away the majority of its strength.

On the lawn beside the Lake of Life, Lin Hui sat on the ground.

Before long, a black soul ring emerged from his body.

The age of this black soul ring was nearly twenty thousand years!

"Thanks to my martial soul being an Ultra Ball, the success rate for capturing high-age soul beasts increased, and the age limit for my soul rings has also increased!"

"Moreover, my Soul Power jumped nine levels at once; I am now level thirty-nine!"

Lin Hui's voice was filled with excitement.

"Truly worthy of being the battery that even Di Tian loves to use!"

"This is worth several years of bitter cultivation!"

"Tian Meng, come out quickly and meet your new partner!"

Lin Hui stood up, released his martial soul, the Ultra Ball, once again, and threw it out!

A streak of white light emerged from the Ultra Ball, releasing a seven-meter-long, snow-white silkworm.

Its entire body was the translucent, warm color of white jade, crystalline like ice, and surrounded by a bone-chilling aura. Embedded atop its head was a pair of small, brilliant golden eyes.

Most importantly, its body was encircled by gilded patterns; ten golden rings from head to tail, the mark of a million-year cultivation, shimmered brilliantly under the white light.

"You... are you really a million-year Soul Beast?" Xiao Wu was once again too astonished to speak; after all, Lin Hui had truly captured it from the depths of the Lake of Life.

"Could it be that there are really ancient fierce beasts sealed within this forest?"

"Of course there are, little sister!" The antennae on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's head twitched, and he shamelessly lunged at Lin Hui, hugging his thigh tightly.

"Master, I have waited for you for so long! You finally rescued me today!"

"You have no idea how badly those fierce beasts have bullied me all these years!"

Having said that, Tian Meng even began to cry at Lin Hui's feet, wiping his snot and tears on him.

Because Tian Meng had been captured by the Ultra Ball, he had automatically acknowledged his master, and even developed a great deal of affection for Lin Hui from his subconscious!

However, Lin Hui still shook his leg with considerable disgust.

"If you wipe your snot on me again, I really will kick you!"

Tian Meng's soul skills were also four in number: [Spirit Detection], [Spirit Sharing], [Spirit Interference], and [Soul Shock].

Furthermore, the soul ring that Tian Meng bestowed upon him was a Wisdom Soul Ring, a rarity in this world.

Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor, Xiao Wu, and Tian Meng standing before him, Lin Hui felt it was necessary to introduce them to one another.

"Alright, let me introduce you one by one."

"This is the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Blue Silver Emperor, who excels in control and resilience. However, she suffered injuries in her early years, and her current strength is still in recovery."

"This is also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, who excels in speed and attack. Because she has transformed into human form, she is currently re-cultivating from a human state and is at level twenty-nine."

"And this is the nearly million-year Soul Beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who possesses extremely strong spiritual power. As for offensive capabilities... they are almost non-existent..."

Lin Hui then wrapped his arms around the three of them.

"In the future, the four of us living well is more important than anything else!"

"Of course, my current level is thirty-nine. It won't be long before our team gains new companions."

Just then, a sudden disturbance erupted in the woods outside.

A Soul Beast, resembling a towering mountain, pushed aside the trees and revealed its ape-like body.

Its entire frame was covered in thick, dark hair, and its muscles were knotted and bulging, as solid and hard as granite.

It was the overlord of the Star Dou Forest, the Titan Giant Ape!

The Titan Giant Ape let out an exceptionally furious roar and charged directly at Lin Hui.

"Human, you dare to take Xiao Wu away? You are courting death!"
