The sudden telepathic voice instantly sent Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into a panic.
He threw caution to the wind and continued burrowing deeper into the earth.
Run, run, run! Hurry!
Otherwise, that bastard Xiong Jun will drag me back.
The thought of those days without a glimpse of daylight-no silkworm should have to live like that.
But after fleeing for only a short while, he stopped again.
That voice just now didn't seem to be Xiong Jun's?
Nor did it belong to any of the other ferocious beasts.
"Who, who, who?! Come out! Come out and face your Brother Sky Dream!"
He twisted his plump body, sending spiritual power surging wildly in every direction.
"How dare you frighten your Brother Sky Dream! You've got the gall to challenge the heavens!"
Yet there was no one around.
His spiritual power swept the surroundings and found not even a trace.
Suddenly, space rippled, turning directly into a cage that enveloped him.
When he appeared again, he was already in an unfamiliar place.
Before he could react, terrifying gravity slammed him flat against the ground, leaving him unable to move.
What shocked him even more was that his strength had been directly reduced by half.
"Aaah?! What's going on?! I, Brother Sky Dream, only just escaped! How did I get caught again?!"
He struggled to open his eyes.
There were actually three humans before him.
Two women with lovely figures, exuding an alluring, seductive air, and a man seated on a throne.
His left eye was pitch-black as an abyss, his right brilliant white as the first light.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt his hair stand on end.
Darkness and evil taken to their ultimate extremes!
"It's... it's you..."
His voice trembled. The source of that ultimate evil and darkness he had sensed not long ago was actually a human male!
"Tsk, tsk. To think you've already escaped. Heaven really is helping me, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."
Ye Guixu looked over the fat worm before him with a teasing smile.
"And you've even transformed into a million-year soul beast."
Wasn't he practically delivering my fifth soul ring to me?
He possessed immensely vast spiritual power, and Ye Guixu could even use his power to create a slot for a second martial soul. He could not have been more suitable.
Ye Guixu had originally planned to deal with him later, but he had come right to his doorstep instead.
"Y-you... you... who exactly are you?! How do you know me?!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stammered.
Being recognized as a million-year soul beast was one thing, but only he knew the name "Sky Dream Ice Silkworm." He had never told anyone!
"All you need to know is..."
Ye Guixu condensed a piece of Void Profound Ice in his hand.
"It's your turn to take the stage."
Yet in the next instant,
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's attention was completely captured by that piece of Void Profound Ice. Drool spilled uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, his eyes burning with desire.
That aura... ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow?
No!
What was this?!
"That thing... what is it? What is that thing?!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been pinned to the ground, began writhing feverishly.
Ye Guixu froze briefly, then understood.
Heh. Hadn't Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grown from a useless worm into a beast over nine hundred thousand years old by eating ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow?
He simply had not expected him to break through to a million years so quickly.
He took out several pieces of Void Profound Ice, fused them together, and continuously compressed them. The originally crystal-clear ice actually turned liquid.
In an instant,
An astonishing fragrance filled the entire cockpit.
"Ah! It smells so good! So good! Even better than ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow! Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. They were bloodshot, and he panted like an ox, looking utterly crazed.
"Hahaha! Grandpa! Grandpa! Give me a bite! Let me taste it! I'll do anything! Grandpa! If you'd told me earlier you had something this good, I'd have sacrificed myself to you on the spot!"
At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to have completely lost control of himself. Even beneath a hundredfold gravity, he continued wriggling frantically, inching toward Ye Guixu.
His long, narrow mouth opened and closed, drool pouring out and leaving a wet trail across the floor.
"What a disgusting creature."
Ye Guixu decisively increased the gravity. Two hundredfold gravity descended abruptly, instantly flattening Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual form into a pancake and leaving him completely immobilized.
Yet his flattened face still twitched wildly, and the corners of his mouth kept desperately stretching outward, trying to catch that astonishing fragrance.
Yan Lingji and Tide Siren wore expressions of disgust. "Master, what kind of worm is this? Why is he so disgusting?"
"Indeed, Master. Is this really a million-year soul beast? He's far too disgusting. Wouldn't putting his soul ring on you sully you?"
Ye Guixu looked equally disgusted. "This fellow devoured an entire Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Cave in the Far North-the ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow inside it. Just like that, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, he grew from the most useless kind of ice silkworm to over nine hundred thousand years old."
"Although he's now broken through to a million years ahead of time, he's the most useless of them all. He can't even beat the weakest hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
"However, there is no weakest hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
"No way?" Both women looked stunned.
A million-year soul beast could not beat the weakest hundred-thousand-year soul beast?
What sort of garbage dump had he been picked out of?
"All this fellow has is vast spiritual power that's reached the million-year level."
Ye Guixu raised his hand and condensed the liquid Void Profound Ice back into solid ice, casually tossing it in front of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. He eased the gravity slightly, allowing him to move freely.
"See how it differs from the ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow you've eaten."
With that, he leaned back in his seat and quietly watched Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's display.
Writhing frantically, he inched toward the Void Profound Ice, his eyes scarlet and his body twisting wildly.
"Whoa, whoa! How can ice taste this good?! What is this?! It's so delicious! So delectable!"
As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took a bite, his entire spiritual form trembled, as though he were savoring the most exquisite feast in the world.
The moment the Void Profound Ice entered his mouth, the essence of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual form was also tainted.
Ye Guixu's domain immediately classified his spiritual form as a friendly target, removing the 50% suppression of his strength.
And under the combined amplification of the Void Profound Ice and the domain, his own strength surged to four times its original level.
Surging dark-red power erupted wildly from within him, pouring outward, and even the surrounding space warped beneath that terrifying spiritual power.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is this?! I, Brother Sky Dream, am so strong now! How can I be this terrifying?!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted his barrel-like waist and flailed wildly, his voice hysterical, looking utterly crazed.
"Incredible! So powerful! Hahaha! If my power weren't suppressed, with this terrifying spiritual power of mine at four times the million-year level, even Di Tian would have his spiritual sea shattered by me! Hahaha... delicious! Delicious!"
After his arrogant display, he lowered his head and resumed gnawing madly on the Void Profound Ice, looking as though some power had completely swept away his reason.
The sight was remarkably like those drug addicts in the anti-drug documentaries Ye Guixu had once watched.
But the other people I'd seen consume Void Profound Ice hadn't acted like this.
Void Profound Ice was a product formed when the Galaxy Star's power spilled out and, with Sauron beaten down to nothing but a head, the dark energy flowing from his body merged into the profound ice.
It could amplify combat strength by threefold, corrode and control the mind, and reduce its target to a puppet.
But in all his time using it, he had never found it so attractive to others.
No, that probably wasn't it.
This fellow was a million-year mental-attribute soul beast. His mental resistance couldn't possibly be this low.
The only explanation was...
This fellow was a fraud built up purely by eating ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow. So what if he had a great quantity and had reached the level of a million-year soul beast?
But its quality was simply a heap of loose sand.
Besides, he was too weak and had yet to undergo the baptism of heavenly tribulation.
Although his spiritual power was vast and pure, it was fundamentally no more than loose sand.
He was so weak that even heavenly tribulation turned its nose up at him.
Thinking of all this, Ye Guixu was left speechless too.
