Forced Seizure, a Million-Year Soul Ring!

According to its expectations, wouldn't any soul master be overjoyed upon hearing words like "million-year soul ring," "intelligent soul ring," and "second martial soul," then feel immensely grateful to it?

Why did this brat before it look as though it were only natural, even... somewhat disdainful?

"I don't need your charity."

Yu Chen slowly raised his right hand.

In an instant, a profound, tyrannical darkness brimming with the aura of devouring and destruction spread from his palm.

The phantom of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon martial soul flickered into view behind him. Its scarlet eyes watched Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's massive spiritual origin with great interest.

"You have only two choices now."

Yu Chen's voice carried not a trace of emotion.

"First, voluntarily sacrifice yourself and become the first nourishment for my twin martial souls. All your power, including your spiritual origin and your million years of cultivation, will be mine to use."

"Second, I do it myself and completely 'devour' your soul and origin. In that case, the process may be a little painful, and your consciousness will not remain for even an instant."

A naked threat!

Without the slightest pretense or courtesy!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was completely dumbfounded.

It had lived for a million years, yet this was the first time it had encountered a human who refused to play by the rules.

Forced buying and selling? No, this was outright plunder!

"Y-you... how dare you?!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was shocked and furious.

"I am a million-year soul beast, the first of my kind throughout the history of Douluo Continent! You're merely a soul master who hasn't even obtained a soul ring, and you dare threaten me?!"

"You're noisy."

Yu Chen's patience had clearly run out.

He clenched his right hand in the air, and the devouring power of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon instantly locked onto Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Ah—!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm let out a miserable spiritual shriek.

It felt its spiritual origin being forcibly ripped and torn from its body by an irresistible, terrifying force!

That sensation was countless times more agonizing than being cut by a thousand blades!

"I choose the first! The first! I'm willing to sacrifice myself voluntarily!!"

In merely one second, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm completely broke down.

It had no doubt that if it hesitated even a fraction longer, this little demon would truly swallow it whole!

Only then did Yu Chen release his grip in satisfaction.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gasped for breath. When it looked at Yu Chen now, not a shred of pride remained in its eyes—only the purest reverence and fear.

"Begin," Yu Chen ordered flatly.

"Yes... yes..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm no longer dared entertain any schemes. Its enormous body began to radiate a dazzling golden light.

Spiritual energy countless times more immense than before surged into the sky, forming a gigantic golden vortex above the Star Dou Great Forest.

The voluntary sacrifice had begun!

At that moment, an aged and feeble voice suddenly rang out in Yu Chen's mind.

"Such... such immense spiritual power! Such a pure soul! Little one, quickly, receive my power! I am the Necromancer Sacred Law God, Electrolux! As long as you inherit my divine consciousness, I will lead you to the pinnacle of this world!"

This fragment of divine consciousness had been drawn over by the immense spiritual power released during Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice.

It had originally been hidden within an heirloom left by Huo Yuhao's mother, but it had awakened ahead of time.

"Another delivery guy?"

A cold sneer curled across Yu Chen's lips.

"A remnant soul without even a body dares call itself a god before me?"

He could not be bothered to waste words on Electrolux.

"Red-Eyes, devour it for me!"

Yu Chen issued the command within his sea of consciousness.

The phantom of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon coiled deep within his sea of consciousness abruptly opened its scarlet eyes.

It opened its enormous maw, and a terrifying suction force erupted!

"No—what is this?! You... how can your sea of consciousness contain something like this?! Ah—!"

Electrolux's prized sliver of divine consciousness did not even have a chance to struggle before the Red-Eyes Black Dragon swallowed it in one bite, turning it into the purest nourishment.

Almost at the same time, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice reached its peak.

An incomparably massive golden ring slowly descended from the sky and settled upon Yu Chen.

It was not an ordinary soul ring, but one formed from the purest spiritual origin and energy.

Boom!

Yu Chen felt as though his brain were about to explode.

A million-year torrent of energy wildly poured into every corner of his body!

Yet he did not panic in the slightest.

"Blue-Eyes, suppress it! Red-Eyes, devour it!"

The twin dragon martial souls within him exerted their power simultaneously.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon radiated sacred, boundless light, forcibly suppressing the violent energy and sorting it into perfect order.

Meanwhile, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon acted like a bottomless black hole, madly devouring, transforming, and absorbing that energy!

An hour later, the golden light in the clearing gradually faded.

Yu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of golden lightning flickered deep within his pupils.

His soul power had soared directly from zero to level twenty!

Beneath his feet, two soul rings quietly hovered.

The first soul ring belonged to the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. It was a deep black soul ring, branded with an eerie dark-golden pattern!

The second soul ring belonged to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It too was an ink-black ten-thousand-year soul ring, but it bore a sacred and brilliant bright-golden pattern!

The million-year soul ring sacrifice had been divided equally between the two transcendent martial souls' energy demands, ultimately forming two ten-thousand-year soul rings!

But these were no ordinary ten-thousand-year soul rings!

They had been formed from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin, and each contained terrifying power far surpassing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

After absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Yu Chen did not leave immediately.

The energy of a million-year soul beast was simply too vast. Even with the twin dragon martial souls sharing the burden, he needed some time to adapt and stabilize it.

He found a secluded spot by a small stream, sat cross-legged, and silently circulated the soul power within his body.

The stream babbled softly, while crisp birdcalls occasionally rang through the forest, lending the place a measure of tranquility.

However, that tranquility was quickly shattered.

A faint series of footsteps and the sound of clothes cutting through the air approached from afar, as though someone were chasing something.

Yu Chen could not even be bothered to open his eyes.

With his current senses, even the slightest movement within a thousand meters could not escape him.

What had arrived was a little girl of around seven or eight years old, along with a Blue Silver Grass with ten years of cultivation?

Oh, no. It should have been a soul beast fleeing for its life.

Very soon, that figure appeared on the opposite bank of the stream.

It was an exceptionally handsome "little boy."

He appeared one or two years older than Yu Chen. He wore a neat blue training outfit, and his short pinkish-blue hair glimmered faintly beneath the sunlight. His skin was fairer than snow, and his features were exquisitely delicate, especially those peach-blossom eyes, which shone with spirited charm whenever they moved.
