Come Out, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Oh, right, Lin Ye had said that Huo Yuhao would obtain a Million-Year Soul Ring later on.

Wang Dong'er bit her lip, her heart still full of doubt. So what if he had a Million-Year Soul Ring? That face, that temperament—compared to Lin Ye, they were worlds apart!

Even when Lin Ye merely leaned casually against a tree, he looked as though he had stepped out of a painting—gentle, refined, and noble, impossible to look away from.

As for the guy on the ground, even if he cleaned himself up, he would still look like an undergrown bean sprout. Just how blind had she been to fall for him?

Even if Huo Yuhao could make up for his talent through Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a Million-Year Soul Beast, could cultivation really improve his looks, temperament, and physique too?

How could that be possible? Besides, Wang Dong'er was not that shallow a person.

Could it really be as Lin Ye had written in his Diary? Had she not fallen for him of her own accord, but been set up by Tang San, her father in name only?

Wang Dong'er's pretty face instantly turned several shades paler. As she looked at Huo Yuhao on the ground, her eyes were filled with resistance and confusion.

On the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, in another direction.

Tang Ya frowned tightly, her heart full of anxiety.

She wanted to approach Lin Ye and find him, but Star Dou Forest was simply too vast. She had no idea where to look.

Just then, the Diary in her mind suddenly grew scorching hot.

Tang Ya stopped walking and focused her thoughts on it. The next second, a wave of dizziness struck her, and an image from the forest appeared directly in her mind.

"Is this a new function of the Diary Copy? It even has images? Who is that?"

As Tang Ya wondered, the Diary's contents appeared. She suddenly understood that this little fellow was Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, she confirmed the general direction of Lin Ye and Huo Yuhao. Almost instinctively, Tang Ya abruptly changed direction and raced toward the place shown in the image.

"Xiao Ya?"

Bei Bei, who had been secretly following from afar, froze for a moment. Looking at Tang Ya running off, his face was full of confusion.

He had no idea what had happened. He had only seen Tang Ya's face turn pale, then red, before she suddenly ran away.

This was no time to think. Bei Bei immediately quickened his pace and chased after her.

Star Dou Forest was fraught with danger. He could not let Tang Ya run around by herself. If anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

On the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, within a patch of bushes.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion flicked her tail. Looking at the youth leaning against an ancient tree in the distant image, she had finally seen Lin Ye.

Sure enough, he was a very handsome human youth.

And that human child lying on the ground—was that Huo Yuhao? Was he the one whose fate was linked to hers?

Her emotions were complicated. Then her gaze shifted, and she spotted Wang Dong'er hiding in another tree.

The instant she saw Wang Dong'er's face, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion went completely rigid. Her golden pupils shrank sharply, and all the fur on her body stood on end.

That face...

She suddenly recalled what Lin Ye had written in the Diary before.

The Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, would one day transform into a human because of Huo Yuhao, becoming Wang Qiuer, who looked exactly like Wang Dong'er.

In the end, she would sacrifice her life and soul for Huo Yuhao, leaving herself not even the slightest chance at reincarnation and ending in complete annihilation.

It was rather pitiful, really. She had originally been the carefree Emperor Auspicious Beast of Star Dou Forest, but just because she had come into contact with Huo Yuhao, her entire fate had been rewritten. In the end, she became a stepping stone on Huo Yuhao's path to growth and never even got to live her own life.

She... was Wang Dong'er?

Beyond her sympathy for the girl, an indescribable sense of grievance and fury welled up in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's heart. A mist of tears instantly clouded her golden eyes.

Just as all the female leads who possessed Diary Copies were having different thoughts because of the sudden image and the Diary's contents, the scene within the image abruptly changed.

Huo Yuhao, sprawled on the ground, had only just recovered a little strength and was struggling to get up.

But at that moment, the ground beneath him suddenly split open without warning.

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound rang out as the fissure spread wildly in every direction at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within just a few breaths, it had widened to several meters across, and dazzling golden light poured madly out from within it.

Huo Yuhao was completely dumbfounded. His small body froze in place, his little face full of terror, and he did not dare move at all.

He could clearly sense an incomprehensible, terrifying power coming from within that fissure, as though he would be crushed to pieces the instant he moved.

Suddenly, a voice filled with endless grievance and sleaziness sounded in his mind.

"Finally, I've encountered a human with a spiritual attribute! It's a pity I can't cry, or I'd definitely be weeping my eyes out!"

The instant the voice fell, a chubby, round, snow-white giant bug slowly crawled out of the golden fissure.

Its body was divided into segments, each marked with a faint golden ring. It looked adorably silly, yet the aura it released seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

It was none other than the first Million-Year Soul Beast in the history of Douluo Continent—Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Huo Yuhao shrank into a ball in fright, even forgetting how to breathe.

In all his life, he had never seen such a strange Soul Beast.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave him no chance to react. His chubby body flashed, transforming into a streak of golden light that instantly plunged into Huo Yuhao's brow.

Buzz!

A deep hum sounded. Huo Yuhao's body shuddered violently, and he instantly lost consciousness, falling stiffly to the ground.

The next second, ten dazzling golden Soul Rings slowly rose from his body, arranged neatly around him.

Terrifying Spirit Power surged outward like a tsunami, spreading madly in every direction with Huo Yuhao at its center!

This Spirit Power was far too immense. Every Soul Beast throughout the outskirts of Star Dou Forest instantly fell into a daze. Even thousand-year Soul Beasts lost consciousness immediately beneath its impact.

The hidden Wang Dong'er was also swept by that Spirit Power and instantly became dazed. Even the coachman driving the carriage in the sky was not spared.

That coachman was very likely a Titled Douluo, perhaps even a Super Douluo above Rank 95.

But before the terrifying Spirit Power of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, let alone a Super Douluo, even Xuan Zi would have to put in some effort.

Faced with the terrifying Spirit Power sweeping toward him, Lin Ye remained calm. He had long since thought of a way to deal with it.

A flash of dark golden light passed over his right hand, and a long staff forged entirely from dark golden metal instantly appeared in his grasp.

The staff was covered in dense, ancient patterns and radiated a heavy, tyrannical aura.

It was the God-Level Martial Soul, the Dark Gold Staff!
