The qualifications for a God King Divine Position!
As long as Ye Wuchen continued cultivating, he would surely reach the pinnacle of the Divine Realm in the future and become a supreme God King who ruled over all living beings.
Elsewhere, Shui Bing'er also awoke from the Firmament's vast infusion of energy.
The random Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone bestowed by the Firmament had already fused perfectly into her right arm.
And with the "Soul Power Level +3" reward, her Soul Power had broken through repeatedly without any obstacles.
After absorbing the earlier Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, her level had settled firmly at level 65, in the Soul Emperor realm.
Feeling the tremendous increase in power within her, Shui Bing'er's pretty face flushed crimson with excitement.
Standing nearby, the Snow Empress watched Ye Wuchen with her beautiful ice-blue eyes, her gaze gentle.
Only after the Firmament's review ended did the Snow Empress belatedly realize an astonishing fact.
This treasured disciple whom she had raised from childhood and doted on endlessly was not native to the Douluo Continent, but a transmigrator from another world, just like Tang San.
Blue Star... Wuchen's homeland. I wonder what sort of wondrous place it is, the Snow Empress murmured inwardly.
However, she harbored no misgivings.
She did not care whether Ye Wuchen was a transmigrator, nor did she care where he came from.
She only knew that this disciple was someone she had raised in the Far North, amid its skies full of wind and snow.
She had fed him little by little as he grew, teaching him with her own hands.
As his master, she knew Ye Wuchen's character and disposition better than anyone.
Whoever he had been in his previous life, in this life, he was the Snow Empress's proudest disciple and the most important person in her life.
As the Snow Empress's thoughts stirred, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who had been silently observing nearby, finally made her move.
She had already witnessed Ye Wuchen's terrifying potential.
Setting aside his future as a God King, which was already nailed firmly into place, there was his present strength alone.
He had broken through to level 99 Peerless Douluo, possessed Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, and wielded a Super Divine Artifact...
His actual combat strength was already not much weaker than Beast God Di Tian's.
Gu Yuena raised her fair, jade-like hand and gently grasped at the void.
Immediately afterward, a huge Ice Silkworm, its entire body gleaming with the crystalline luster of white jade and encircled by rings of golden patterns,
was dragged out of a spatial rift by Gu Yuena as though she were grabbing a chick, then tossed directly before Ye Wuchen.
"Ow, that hurt like hell! You bastard Ferocious Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest! Draining my source power every day was bad enough, but now you dare rough me up too? I'll fight you to the death!"
The enormous Ice Silkworm began struggling violently the instant he landed, cursing at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with grief, outrage, and pent-up frustration.
Watching the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm writhe madly on the ground and curse, Ye Wuchen summoned his Second Martial Soul into his palm.
The Myriad Souls Banner.
"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, let me borrow your Soul Ring and Soul Bone. And please, come into my Myriad Souls Banner for a chat."
Hearing those words laden with killing intent, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shuddered all over and abruptly raised his round head.
"You... you're that Ye Wuchen from the Firmament's review... the one with the makings of a God King?!"
Upon recognizing Ye Wuchen, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's arrogance vanished without a trace.
He immediately stopped struggling and bobbed and bowed like a lapdog, his tone fawning. "Oh! So it's Lord Ye. A misunderstanding-it's all a misunderstanding."
"I... no, little Dream here has long admired your illustrious name, my lord. My lord, hear me out. You shouldn't kill the hen to get its eggs. I can willingly sacrifice myself to you and become your Wisdom Soul Ring. I can also help you..."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes darted about as he tried to hoodwink Ye Wuchen.
However, Ye Wuchen did not fall for it at all.
"Noisy." Ye Wuchen snorted coldly, refusing to listen to his rambling.
He curled his right hand around empty air, and the Super Divine Artifact that radiated bone-piercing cold-the Eternal Abyss Sword of Perpetual Silence-appeared in his grasp.
One slash swept past; the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's vitality proved utterly fragile.
Before he could even scream, his body was annihilated in the ultimate cold.
As his physical body perished, a soul form blazing with golden light fled from the ice crystals in abject terror.
"Capture!"
Ye Wuchen waved his left hand, and the Myriad Souls Banner swelled in the wind. Countless pitch-black chains surged from its surface, binding the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's soul tightly and forcibly dragging him into its bottomless space.
Left behind were a Million-Year Soul Ring shining with dazzling white-gold light and a crystalline, translucent Head Soul Bone.
Ye Wuchen sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring and Head Soul Bone.
Within the Myriad Souls Banner's internal space, however, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's remnant soul refused to resign himself to captivity.
Relying on his foundation as a million-year spiritual-type Soul Beast, he attempted a desperate counterattack, frantically invading Ye Wuchen's sea of consciousness.
"Hmph. You overestimate yourself."
The reward Ye Wuchen had just received from the Firmament-God-level Spiritual Power.
Spiritual Power as vast as a sea of stars, combined with the Myriad Souls Banner's rules of soul suppression.
An invisible, sky-blotting hand slammed viciously down upon the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's remnant soul.
"Aaaah!!!"
With an utterly piercing scream, the spiritual assault the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took such pride in crumbled like earth and shattered tiles before the God-level Spiritual Power.
His soul was branded with the Myriad Souls Banner's mark of enslavement, leaving him unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.
In the end, Ye Wuchen successfully finished absorbing the Million-Year Soul Ring and Head Soul Bone.
And his Second Martial Soul, the Myriad Souls Banner, welcomed its first "guest"-the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
After watching Ye Wuchen's actions flow like drifting clouds and running water, the Snow Empress could not help exclaiming:
"Wuchen, your Second Martial Soul truly is miraculous. It can actually preserve a Soul Beast's soul essence perfectly after killing it."
Ye Wuchen rose and explained to the Snow Empress with a smile:
"Master, my Myriad Souls Banner does far more than simply preserve souls."
"Once they've been taken into the banner, I can summon them at any time to fight independently. They can also retain their strength and even unleash Soul Skills on their own."
Hearing this, even the widely knowledgeable Gu Yuena was deeply shaken.
Summoning soul forms that retained the strength they had possessed in life to fight?
This Myriad Souls Banner was nothing short of a weapon of mass slaughter born for war.
Meanwhile, within the Myriad Souls Banner's internal space, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was wailing for his father and mother over the loss of his freedom and physical body.
His piercing cries made Ye Wuchen's head ache.
Ye Wuchen had not deliberately tormented him, but the fellow was simply far too noisy.
"Shut up."
With a thought, Ye Wuchen directly activated the first Soul Skill of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Million-Year Soul Ring he had just obtained-Simulation.
Light flashed within the Myriad Souls Banner's internal space.
It conjured a ferocious Ice Silkworm phantom a full size larger than the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Without another word, the phantom Ice Silkworm charged up and subjected the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's soul to a frenzied bout of "physical interrogation."
Resounding slaps rang out, one after another.
"Ow, stop hitting me! I was wrong! I'll shut up, all right?!"
Under the phantom Ice Silkworm's merciless interrogation, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally behaved.
He huddled pitifully in a corner, no longer daring to make the slightest sound.
Just as Ye Wuchen finished dealing with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and was thanking Gu Yuena,
a sudden, violent surge of energy came from the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The disturbance was so great that it even disrupted the peace around the Lake of Life in the core region.
