In the Divine Realm, at the Poseidon Temple, Tang San had been watching Huo Yuhao's growth all along, just as the cheat he had prepared for Huo Yuhao was about to arrive.
Yet Ye Fan had suddenly emerged to spoil things.
Tang San's face immediately twisted. "Remnants of the angels, and you dare ruin my grand plan."
Tang San had just been about to descend to the lower realm and kill Ye Fan outright.
But at that moment, the God of Destruction's voice came from outside the Poseidon Temple. "Asura, I propose convening the God Realm Committee."
Tang San flew outside the Poseidon Temple. He had just been about to angrily rebuke the God of Destruction, but when he saw the seven Original Sin Gods and the God of Ruination standing behind him—
He ultimately backed down. "Let's go, Destruction. Whatever it is, we'll discuss it at the Divine Realm Nexus."
As for matters in the lower realm, he could only temporarily stop intervening.
On Douluo Continent, over at Ye Fan's side.
Ye Fan uncertainly asked Ring Teacher, "Teacher, this is a Million-Year Soul Beast! Is it really okay for me to absorb it directly?"
Ring Teacher snapped irritably, "With me here, what the hell are you scared of?"
Seeing Ring Teacher act so imposing and mighty, Ye Fan finally relaxed.
So he immediately followed Ring Teacher's instructions and instantly released his Six-Winged Death Angel Martial Soul.
At the same time, before the rounded ball of light could enter Huo Yuhao's brow, it placed itself between Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Just like that, Ye Fan felt a sharp pain in his brow, followed by a vast wave of spiritual power flooding his mind.
"Finally, I've found a human with a spiritual attribute! Too bad I can't cry, or I'd definitely be weeping tears of joy!"
Then, a lazy yet excited voice rang out in Ye Fan's mind.
Before the voice had even faded, Ye Fan heard the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm howl again, "Ah, no! This isn't the brat I chose."
"Damn human, let me out now, or don't blame me for getting rough with you."
As he spoke, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tried to break through Ye Fan's spiritual sea, utterly disregarding Ye Fan's life or death.
Before Ye Fan could no longer endure it,
A terrifying, tyrannical, and violent spiritual consciousness descended upon Ye Fan's spiritual sea.
With a casual point of a finger, it condensed a purple cage and firmly trapped the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, that giant fleshy worm.
"Who did you say you were going to get rough with?"
The God of Destruction questioned the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in an unhappy tone.
"Fuck! Fuck!"
"What kind of power is this?! It's too terrifying."
"Ice Empress! I might never see you again, boohoohoo."
Just as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was scared into muttering to himself,
The God of Destruction disdainfully glanced at the trembling Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. "Destruction or sacrifice. You have three breaths."
"Three~!"
At a single look from the God of Destruction, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shuddered all over. The next second, without the slightest hesitation, he practically prostrated himself and said, "Sacrifice!"
As soon as the words fell, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not dare delay for even a moment. He hurriedly mobilized the origin of his Million-Year Soul Beast essence, and vast, pure spiritual origin power slowly surged forth as he obediently began the sacrifice process.
The God of Destruction's divine consciousness firmly sealed all his power, suppressing it layer by layer, calming the restless origin, erasing every thought of resistance, and completely taming this top-tier Soul Beast.
If the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made even the slightest movement, the purple divine cage would suddenly tighten. The bone-chilling Divine Might made him tremble all over. He did not dare act rashly and could only obediently cooperate with the sacrifice.
Ye Fan witnessed the shocking scene from beginning to end. Watching the Million-Year Soul Beast that had been arrogantly shouting just moments ago get effortlessly subdued, he was filled with astonishment and could not help sincerely praising, "This Ring Teacher is incredible!"
At the same time, Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen hurried to the scene, but they were ultimately one step too late.
An invisible spatial barrier suddenly appeared around Ye Fan. It was incomparably sturdy; even when Jing Hongchen attacked with full force to test it, he could not shake it in the slightest.
Meng Hongchen's face was full of concern as she softly asked, "Grandpa, what's happening to Xiao Fan? He'll be okay, right?"
Xiao Hongchen clenched his fists until his knuckles turned purple. His eyes were full of anxiety, yet he remained silent.
After watching for a moment, Jing Hongchen said gravely, "It looks like a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast with nowhere left to turn chose to sacrifice itself to Xiao Fan when its life was hanging by a thread."
Meng Hongchen asked in astonishment, "A Soul Beast Sacrifice?"
Jing Hongchen slowly explained, "Only top-tier Soul Beasts over a hundred thousand years old possess the ability to sacrifice themselves."
Meng Hongchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her brows relaxing. "So Xiao Fan is being rewarded for being a good person. Luck really fell right into his lap."
No one present paid any attention to the pitiful Huo Yuhao.
With the God of Destruction fully controlling and suppressing everything, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Million-Year sacrifice proceeded without a hitch, free of the slightest backlash or disorder.
In just half an hour, the vast and pure spiritual origin power completely merged into Ye Fan's spiritual sea and Martial Soul.
Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes. A brilliant glimmer flashed through them, while the spiritual power around him surged magnificently, having increased countless times over.
His Six-Winged Death Angel Martial Soul silently appeared. At the position of his first Soul Ring floated a platinum Million-Year Soul Ring of ultimate texture, gleaming with flowing light. Its pressure was restrained, yet its foundation was astonishing, fully displaying the extraordinariness of a top-tier Soul Ring.
Ye Fan was overjoyed, immersed in the wild ecstasy of obtaining such a heaven-defying cheat. His mind was completely filled with this enormous improvement.
Just then, a dark and eerie gray energy tore through the air at extreme speed, hurtling straight toward the brow of the neglected Huo Yuhao nearby.
Ye Fan's pupils abruptly constricted as he cried out inwardly, Electrolux!
He had just been about to ask Ring Teacher to stop it when the divine consciousness of the God of Destruction in his brow had already acted first.
The God of Destruction muttered to himself, "So this is the second cheat of Huo Yuhao, the Child of Fortune, from Ye Fan's memories—Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer? Perfect. Let me see what he can do."
As the words fell, a powerful purple suction force erupted from Ye Fan's brow, instantly locking onto that gray energy and forcibly dragging it in to devour it.
A proud, piercing cry suddenly came from within the gray energy. "With sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars; none in this world can compare to me! I am Electrolux, Holy Necromancer, Undead Scourge!"
But before Electrolux could display his might and finish his grand entrance, the God of Destruction directly exerted force and swallowed this wisp of remnant soul into Ye Fan's brow.
Ye Fan hurriedly called out, "Teacher, wait!"
But he was already too late.
The God of Destruction gently sent him a message to reassure him. "Don't worry. I have already examined all his memories and mastered all of his Undead Magic and abilities. Once your cultivation improves, I will teach them all to you."
A storm raged within Ye Fan's heart. He was utterly shocked; this Ring Teacher was simply too terrifying. A Million-Year Soul Beast and the remnant soul of a demigod had both been effortlessly subdued. His strength was unfathomable.
"Too strong. Far too strong."
Ye Fan had no choice but to reassess Ring Teacher.
Before Ye Fan could continue being shocked, the God of Destruction directly said, "Leave your spiritual sea now. Your teachers and friends are getting anxious."
At that moment, in the real world, Meng Hongchen repeatedly asked Jing Hongchen, "Grandpa, Xiao Fan's sacrifice has clearly been completed, and he has already obtained his first Soul Ring."
"Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Jing Hongchen frowned as well, unable to make sense of it.
But very soon, Ye Fan woke up amid Meng Hongchen's cry of surprise.
"Grandpa, Brother, Xiao Fan is awake."
The moment Ye Fan opened his eyes, he saw the concerned faces of Meng Hongchen, Jing Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen, and he was deeply moved.
Just as Ye Fan was about to say something,
Huo Yuhao's voice came from beside him. "Ah, am I dead?"
"Mom, I've come to see you."
Only then did everyone notice Huo Yuhao.
Ye Fan asked Ring Teacher, "Teacher, how should we deal with Huo Yuhao?"
