Million-Year Soul Beast!

"The ground... split open!"

"What kind of Soul Beast could cause a commotion this huge?"

Dai Yutong hid behind Ye Tianming, staring at the scene in shock.

"And the temperature around us dropped so much all at once."

Ye Tianming kept Dai Yutong completely behind him. At the sight before him, the last trace of worry in his heart finally faded.

So he came after all?

Dai Yutong gripped Ye Tianming's clothes but still peeked out from behind him.

"T-Tianming, what kind of Soul Beast is that? He's so big and so cute!"

"He's so huge. He must be a Hundred-Year Soul Beast, right?"

Ye Tianming's mouth twitched, though his heart was pounding like a drum.

The Million-Year Soul Beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm—the only Soul Beast in the original story who could live up to Yu Xiaogang's words:

"He truly raised a god!"

But one thing puzzled Ye Tianming.

He distinctly remembered Brother Sky Dream being male in the original story. So why did that voice and that way of speaking sound so much like a woman's, with even a hint of a mature woman's sultry tone?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at the two nervous humans with his beady eyes. He hurriedly withdrew the pressure surrounding him and spoke gently.

"Don't be scared. Big sister won't hurt you."

Dai Yutong's eyes lit up when she heard the big white silkworm speak.

"Big white silkworm, are you talking to us?"

"Of course I am."

"What's wrong? Mesmerized by big sister's figure?"

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke, he wriggled his enormous body, making the ground around them sway.

"Whoa! Tianming, the ground suddenly started shaking!"

Dai Yutong felt the ground shifting beneath her feet and spoke to Ye Tianming in surprise.

"Look how nervous you two are. Don't be afraid. Let big sister introduce herself first."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke with a beaming smile.

"Big sister is a peerless powerhouse who cultivated for a million years and set the longevity record for all of Douluo Continent!!!!"

"The king of Soul Beast kings!"

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!!!!"

"You can call me Sister Sky Dream."

Behind Ye Tianming, Dai Yutong's mouth fell open and her eyes widened.

"A m-million-year Soul Beast?!"

"Aren't the strongest Soul Beasts on Douluo Continent only a hundred thousand years old?"

Seeing how shocked the human child he had chosen was by his introduction, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm promptly planted his stubby little hands on his hips.

"Excited? Thrilled?"

"You two are the first humans to see big sister in the flesh."

Ye Tianming watched the two of them grow more familiar and rubbed his forehead.

He knew Dai Yutong's golden finger had arrived, but seeing how easily she trusted someone without a shred of caution, he gave her a light smack on the head.

"Ow! Tianming, what was that for?"

Dai Yutong held her head and looked at Ye Tianming, aggrieved.

"Silly girl, don't trust others so easily!"

"And what happened to the caution I reminded you about again and again before we left?"

Ye Tianming spoke helplessly.

Dai Yutong stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly.

"I know, Tianming."

Ye Tianming turned back to the enormous, fat silkworm before him and asked,

"So, king of Soul Beast kings, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, what do you want with us?"

At that, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to hear something that delighted him. He gave a little snort.

"Hmph!"

"Prick up your ears and listen!"

"Big sister is going to become the Soul Ring of that little girl behind you!"

"The first Wisdom Soul Ring in the history of Douluo Continent!"

Dai Yutong was stunned.

"Huh? Me?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded firmly.

"That's right. You!"

"Excited? Thrilled?"

Dai Yutong slowly shook her head instead and looked at Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming kept his eyes on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. He knew the silkworm in the original story meant no harm.

Despite his million years of cultivation, he had been drained dry by several powerful figures in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Only when he had nowhere left to turn had he chosen Huo Yuhao, gambling on a sliver of hope for survival.

Even so, Ye Tianming needed to make things clear. He spoke slowly.

"Yutong's Innate Soul Power is only level one. A million years of your cultivation would make her burst."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's beady eyes widened, but his tone was dismissive.

"Hey, you little Azure Dragon know your stuff. Of course big sister knows that."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm then shook his body, and nine tiny golden rings of light flew out of him.

"Nine-Layer Seal! This little one can withstand it completely!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke smugly.

"Besides, big sister is an unprecedented Wisdom Soul Ring—far better than those lifeless Soul Rings!"

"Hehe, and big sister can give you another Martial Soul, too."

"You can gain four Soul Skills right away: Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, Mental Interference Domain, and Soul Shock."

"Well? Isn't big sister amazing?"

Dai Yutong's face filled with surprise.

"S-so amazing!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued proudly.

"Big sister doesn't have a Soul Bone to give her, but later I can take her to obtain another Martial Soul."

At this point, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's beady eyes narrowed, and his voice turned eight degrees softer.

His whole body began to squirm bashfully.

"That's where big sister's sweetheart lives... Bingbing!"

"The empress of the Far North Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Empress!"

"Tsk, tsk. That figure, that temperament... Back when she was chasing big sister, one casual swipe of her tail sent three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts flying."

"I looked back at her then. Do you two know how big sister felt?"

"Right there, big sister just..."

Ye Tianming: "..."

Dai Yutong: "..."

Ye Tianming and Dai Yutong stared expressionlessly at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had nearly twisted himself into a pretzel.

Watching him swoon over a female scorpion, Ye Tianming suddenly understood what people meant when they said the vast world held wonders beyond imagination.

Ye Tianming promptly interrupted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's lovestruck rambling.

"Ahem!"

"Back to the point. I'll stand guard during the fusion. How much will it hurt? Will there be any danger? Explain it clearly first."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately grew serious and glanced at Ye Tianming.

"You're careful. I'll give you that. With big sister handling it, of course there won't be a problem."

"But why don't you seem surprised at all?"

Ye Tianming ignored Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and lowered his gaze to Dai Yutong.
