Heavenly Dream's Soul Skills, Overbearing!

At the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, a golden beam shot into the sky, piercing straight through the clouds.

Terrifying spiritual power fluctuations spread outward, frightening countless low-level soul beasts into prostrating themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

In the forest's mixed zone,

Four figures shrouded in black robes were working together to forcibly extract the soul of a thirty-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit.

One of them suddenly looked up and spotted the heaven-shaking pillar of light.

"Hall Master, look at that golden light. Could some heavenly treasure have appeared?"

"A phenomenon of heaven and earth—this must be no ordinary object!"

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

The four hurriedly stored away the Soft Bone Rabbit's soul and rushed toward that direction.

But after they had gone only a few hundred meters, the golden pillar of light abruptly vanished. Even the mysterious spiritual fluctuations disappeared without a trace.

The leader spoke viciously. "Keep searching in that direction!"

"If we offer such a world-shaking treasure to the Cult Master, this Hall Master's status will surely rise with the tide!"

In the outer region of the forest,

Huo Yuhao used the fish fork he had carved with the White Tiger Dagger to spear several fish from a stream. He skillfully built a fire and began roasting them.

Though he had only simple perilla as seasoning, the aroma was exceptionally enticing.

"It smells so good!"

At that moment, a delighted feminine cry rang out. The voice was clear and pleasant, yet it startled Huo Yuhao.

He looked toward the source of the voice and saw two people walking along the stream, a man and a woman.

The young woman skipped over to Huo Yuhao in a few quick steps and asked hungrily, "Little brother, are you selling those grilled fish?"

"They smell so good! How did you make them?"

Seeing such a beautiful face up close, Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned. When he came back to his senses, his face flushed red as he said, "I-I'll treat you two to some!"

He had just taken down a grilled fish and handed it over when he saw the young woman suddenly raise her head to look at the sky.

Following her gaze, he vaguely saw an incomparably thick golden pillar of light soaring into the sky in the distance.

The pillar lasted only a few breaths before disappearing.

As the golden beam vanished, Huo Yuhao inexplicably felt empty inside, as though someone had stolen something precious from him.

Huo Yuhao laughed at himself. The only precious thing he had now was that White Tiger Dagger. What other precious possession could he possibly have?

After handing the grilled fish to the young man and woman before him, he silently began grilling more fish.

Ye Ming had not heard what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shouted at the end. At that moment, he was immersed in the many mysterious changes taking place within his body.

In terms of soul power, he temporarily had only one soul ring, and his soul power level remained at level twenty.

Only after the Golden Dragon King or Silver Dragon King martial soul absorbed two soul rings would he be able to break through the shackles and display increased soul power.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been drained of too much natural energy by Di Tian and the others, but its million-year spiritual power still remained.

That spiritual power, mixed with its spiritual origin, directly opened up Ye Ming's sea of spirit and expanded it to an utterly terrifying extent.

In Legend of the Dragon King, spiritual power had been clearly divided into ranks.

From lowest to highest, spiritual power was divided into seven great realms: Spirit Origin, Spirit Connection, Spirit Sea, Spirit Abyss, Spirit Domain, and the legendary Divine Origin and God King realms.

Although Ye Ming had not completely absorbed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual origin and spiritual power, his spiritual power had now directly surged into the Spirit Sea realm!

Within his sea of spirit, the Golden Dragon Spear and Silver Dragon Spear transformed directly into twin golden and silver dragons, circling and soaring within as if rejoicing over their master's increased strength.

The breakthrough in spiritual power had come naturally. What delighted Ye Ming the most were the four soul skills brought by the fusion of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's soul ring and the Silver Dragon King martial soul.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm possessed ultimate ice and spiritual attributes. After merging with the elemental dragon, the Silver Dragon King martial soul, its soul skills naturally shifted in a direction suited to the Silver Dragon King martial soul.

[Ice God Phantom: Consumes soul power to summon the Ice God Phantom.]

[Ice Element Manipulation: Moves at will.]

[Mental Barrier: Consumes spiritual power to activate a barrier. Unless an opponent's spiritual power exceeds the user's by one realm, it cannot be broken before the user's spiritual power is depleted.]

[Fate Strike: Fate locks on; the attack is guaranteed to hit.]

The descriptions of the four soul skills were simple, but their power was terrifying!

Ye Ming thought to himself, No wonder Na'er insisted on Tianmeng's soul sacrifice. This boost is simply enormous!

He let out a soft breath and slowly opened his eyes, only to find Di Tian, Gu Yuena, Wang Qiuer, and the others looking at him with concern.

"Brother, are you all right? That big bug didn't pull any tricks, did it?" Na'er's eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

Ye Ming shook his head and smiled. "Uncle Di Tian, Na'er, thank you. Tianmeng's soul ring has helped me immensely!"

Although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been drained of too much natural energy and had not even been able to leave behind a soul bone, leaving only a shed husk behind,

the four soul skills, along with the increase in spiritual power and soul power, were already incredibly heaven-defying!

No wonder Huo Yuhao had been called Huo Cheat after obtaining Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"As long as you're fine." Di Tian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes gentle. "Then strike while the iron is hot and absorb the soul rings of those two dragon-type soul beasts outside as well."

"No need to absorb them. Let them go."

Ye Ming explained, "It seems I can produce soul rings myself."

Only he himself knew what he lacked the most.

Since he could produce soul rings himself, their age and soul skills would surely be the most suitable for him.

"I forgot that Brother and Qiuer are both Emperor Auspicious Beasts." Gu Yuena patted her head, her face full of apology. "When soul beasts that are over a hundred thousand years old take human form, they can produce soul rings for themselves when their soul power breaks through."

"And Emperor Auspicious Beasts can freely switch between human and soul beast forms. Even if their cultivation age is insufficient, they can still produce soul rings themselves."

"This is the path most suitable for Brother!"

Di Tian came to a realization, and a trace of envy rose in his heart.

As expected of an Emperor Auspicious Beast nurtured by the Star Dou Great Forest. It truly was extraordinary.

Producing soul rings required the support of dense natural energy, and Lake of Life happened to be an excellent place for it.

Over the next two days, Ye Ming and Wang Qiuer each found a place rich in natural energy and began condensing their own soul rings.

On the first day, Ye Ming's Golden Dragon King martial soul condensed a thirteen-thousand-year black soul ring, while his soul power remained at level twenty.

On the second day, the Golden Dragon King martial soul condensed its second soul ring, an eighteen-thousand-year black soul ring. His soul power unexpectedly soared straight to level thirty!

This was the powerful boost brought by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's soul sacrifice!

On the third day, the Golden Dragon King martial soul condensed its third soul ring, a twenty-four-thousand-year black soul ring, and his soul power broke through to level thirty-one!

After that, Ye Ming stopped and did not condense soul rings for the Silver Dragon King martial soul.

His body's endurance was currently only at the level of twenty thousand years. Condensing soul rings too early would instead waste the Silver Dragon King martial soul's talent.

As for the soul skills granted by the three soul rings, Ye Ming could only say one thing: as expected of the Dragon of Strength, the Golden Dragon King!

Overbearing!

After Ye Ming and Wang Qiuer familiarized themselves with their soul skills, Gu Yuena and Di Tian had also finished discussing their departure.

Early the next morning, Ye Ming, Wang Qiuer, and Gu Yuena left Lake of Life under Red King's escort!

As for where they would go, Ye Ming already had a destination in mind.
