"Brother, I'm so miserable! I'm finally temporarily free
from those ferocious beasts!!" A chilling aura emanated from the cracks in the ground, and the surrounding temperature began to drop noticeably. The cracks grew larger and larger, reaching a diameter of over five meters in a short time. The golden-white light finally revealed its true form.
It was a round, fleshy head, over a meter in diameter and more than seven meters long. Its entire body was white jade-colored, crystal clear, and its smooth skin was free of any dirt. It resembled a silkworm. A halo flowed beneath its skin, and on its head were a pair of small, glittering golden eyes. Starting half a meter from its head, there were ten golden patterns encircling it at intervals.
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?! Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged.
He gripped the Soul-Breaking Blade even tighter, his well-defined knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
The plot had changed, the butterfly effect…
Chen Feng couldn't help but feel fortunate for his caution; otherwise, following Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would have been gone for good.
Just as Chen Feng was feeling relieved,
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's small golden eyes saw him, revealing a hint of anthropomorphic excitement.
"I never expected to encounter a human with a spiritual attribute martial soul here. So young, yet already at level twenty-five in soul power, you're probably one of the top geniuses among human soul masters. What
's even more remarkable is your robust physique, capable of bearing more of my primordial power. Heaven must have sent you to save me, oh no, heaven sent me to guide you."
The ten golden halos around Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to come alive, pulsating rhythmically. Finally, a burst of brilliant golden light suddenly separated from its body, leaving only a thin layer of pale golden film.
This burst of brilliant golden light was its primordial power and spiritual power; separating these from its body meant there was no turning back.
However, he had no regrets whatsoever; in fact, he felt a sense of relief and joy at surviving a calamity.
His original plan was to find a Soul Master with a Spiritual Attribute Martial Soul and have them actively transform into a Wisdom Soul Ring. The exceptionally talented Chen Feng was simply the perfect candidate.
A golden light hurtled towards Chen Feng at lightning speed. Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wasn't skilled in combat, its spiritual power, cultivated for millions of years, was far beyond what Chen Feng could currently withstand.
The instant the golden light collided with Chen Feng, an extremely cold aura spread throughout his body, even blurring his consciousness. Ten golden halos quickly enveloped his body, while streams of white light continuously surged into his body.
An invisible layer of spiritual power, just as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's primordial power and spiritual power surged into Chen Feng's body, spread outwards from him. The terrifying spiritual power almost instantly covered every corner within a hundred miles in diameter.
The spiritual impact didn't possess much destructive power, but it could render all living beings incapable of thought for a short period of time.
"My physical condition is really good. This way, I can integrate more of my power. Heaven is truly favoring Tianmeng! Wait, what's going on?! Why can't I access the memories??"
In Chen Feng's sea of consciousness, his soul stood firm. The sea of consciousness is closely related to a person's soul, and can even be said to be a manifestation of the strength of a person's soul.
Chen Feng's soul was in the center of the sea of consciousness, his eyes closed, a black knife in his hand, exuding an indescribable sense of freedom and elegance.
Within Chen Feng's soul, unseen by anyone, a furnace burned silently.
A translucent silkworm stared at Chen Feng in astonishment, somewhat shocked. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had tried to examine its host's memories to gain a better understanding, but it
was completely unable to access them. This greatly surprised the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Just as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was greatly surprised, a pair of jet-black eyes slowly opened in a pristine white space.
Chen Feng stood in his Sea of Spirit, holding the Soul-Breaking Blade, his deep black eyes looking at the bewildered silkworm.
At this moment, as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, carrying an immense spiritual essence, merged into Chen Feng's Sea of Spirit, Chen Feng's Sea of Spirit instantly changed. Numerous points of light appeared, stretching as far as the eye could see, yet seemingly able to extend to every corner of the space.
These golden lights converged into ten enormous golden halos, suspended in mid-air, and all the points of light within the space seemed to grow larger due to their appearance.
Ten golden halos began to slowly rotate, each containing a milky-white glow. The halos grew stronger, gradually transforming into ten enormous spheres of light suspended there. The height and volume of the entire space increased many times over.
Simultaneously, the suspended points of light sank below, converging into a pale golden ocean, supporting the ten enormous golden-white spheres.
Chen Feng gazed at this magnificent sea of spirit, marveling at the vast spiritual origin of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Clearly, Chen Feng had gained immense benefits; his sea of spirit now surpassed even that of a Soul Saint.
Chen Feng attempted to activate the furnace deep within his soul, only to find that his current strength was far too weak; the energy required to activate the furnace was simply beyond his current capacity. All
Chen Feng could do was protect his soul from external invasion under the furnace's protection.
Chen Feng, expressionless, asked the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm knowingly, "You giant insect that dared to trespass into my spiritual sea, won't you introduce yourself? My name is Chen Feng, what's yours?"
Chen Feng decided to prioritize harmony with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Despite its apparent lack of combat prowess, it was still a million-year-old soul beast. In the original story, before its complete fusion with Huo Yuhao, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was no pushover. It
had frozen the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao with a single finger, and controlled the second-ranked Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion among the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North using its remains. Even with Chen Feng's current strength as a Great Soul Master, he couldn't defeat the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm before him.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's existence was definitely more beneficial than harmful to Chen Feng. Without its help, Chen Feng alone couldn't possibly make the Ice Emperor his second martial soul.
Although Chen Feng was confident that even without a second martial soul, he could become a peerless powerhouse with only his Soul-Breaking Blade, with the Ice Emperor's help, the path to becoming a peerless powerhouse would certainly be much smoother.
Moreover, the furnace is mysteriously hidden deep within the body, undetectable to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Even if Chen Feng discovers the anomaly when using the furnace, what can the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, with only one spirit ring, do?
It is dependent on Chen Feng, hoping for Chen Feng to become a god. The stronger and more powerful Chen Feng becomes, the happier it is, so that it can live forever with Chen Feng as a wisdom spirit ring.
"Who is the big worm?! I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the king of spirit beasts who possesses both wisdom and beauty, an unparalleled powerhouse, having cultivated for millions of years, setting the record for the longest lifespan on the Douluo Continent—the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Um, you can call me Brother Heavenly Dream," a crystal-clear silkworm introduced itself to Chen Feng with great enthusiasm.
"See these ten orbs of light? This is the essence of my million-year cultivation, my primordial power and spiritual power. This energy can upgrade your ten spirit rings to the hundred-thousand-year level, and make your spiritual power the strongest in the world. Not only that,
I will also provide you with a second ice-attribute martial soul, making you a peerless genius with twin martial souls, one in ten thousand!!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm proudly raised its round head, looking chubby.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said smugly, "Aren't you surprised? Aren't you excited?"
Chen Feng knowingly asked, "Really? Then why do you want me to save you?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm coughed twice, not answering Chen Feng's question, and said, "I want to become your spirit ring, the first intelligent spirit ring in the history of Douluo Continent.
Of course, you haven't reached your bottleneck yet. When you reach level 30, you will feel my power. As a million-year spirit ring, I can give you four!! A full four spirit skills!!"
Chen Feng looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and said, "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, you are so powerful, why do you want to become my spirit ring?"
"Call me Brother Tianmeng."
"Okay, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm." Chen Feng replied perfunctorily.
"Hmph, forget it, I won't hold it against you. In the future, I'll definitely use my charm to win you over." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm grumbled to itself, not dwelling on Chen Feng's form of address.
Then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm began to recount its tragic past.
Chen Feng, seeing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm starting to ramble, decided not to continue immersing his consciousness in his spiritual sea.
Only Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's depressed and resentful voice echoed in Chen Feng's spiritual sea.
"Don't go! I haven't told you my story yet! Aren't you curious why I, a million-year-old soul beast, appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, and why I chose to become your wisdom soul ring?"
Chen Feng, whose consciousness had returned to its body, felt refreshed and invigorated. His greatly enhanced spiritual power swept away the fatigue of three days of exploring the Star Dou Great Forest.
A thin, pale golden membrane appeared beside Chen Feng.
This pale golden membrane is the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm after a million years of cultivation. It can be considered a supreme treasure, its power so great that it can bind the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. The
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued its incessant chatter in Chen Feng's mind.
Seeing that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wouldn't stop until it finished speaking, Chen Feng said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."
After saying that, Chen Feng got up and began exploring the area around the Star Dou Great Forest. Chen Feng still had one opportunity to seize on this trip, namely, Electrolux...
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm finished grumbling about its miserable experience of being reduced to a charging station and said, "Chen Feng, why are you still wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Chen Feng casually replied, "I plan to cultivate on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest for a few days and hunt for some valuable things along the way."
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said, "Chen Feng, this is too dangerous. No, I have to add an extra layer of insurance for you."
After saying that, it was about to mobilize its spiritual source, wanting to upgrade Chen Feng's first two soul rings to 1,500 years.
Chen Feng, with his meticulous mind, wondered if the purple spirit rings might be...
But then he suddenly thought of the far north and immediately had a solution, so he didn't stop Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Soon, Chen Feng stopped and summoned his rarely used spirit rings. The two pale purple spirit rings emitted a noble purple light.
His first spirit skill, Sharpening Blade, normally increased his attack power and the sharpness of his Soul-Breaking Blade by 50%.
Now, with the first spirit skill's effect doubled from a hundred years to a thousand years, both attack power and the Soul-Breaking Blade's sharpness increased by 100%.
His second spirit skill, Instant Teleportation, also increased from three meters to five meters. Chen Feng's strength had increased dramatically.
Even the Soul-Breaking Blade's damage to the spirit had become much stronger due to the power of Chen Feng's spirit.
If the mental damage from the Soul-Shattering Blade in the past only caused minor harm to low-ranking Soul Masters and couldn't seriously injure them, then now, the mental damage from the Soul-Shattering Blade would severely injure even top-tier Soul Masters, causing them to faint.
This is assuming the opponent withstands the attack; if Chen Feng's Soul-Shattering Blade actually cuts the opponent, it will directly inflict severe mental damage. Mental damage requires much longer to recover from than physical damage.
Chen Feng has truly felt the benefits brought by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. As long as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm assists him well, it will also gain immortality with him after he becomes a god… Chen Feng,
wielding the Soul-Shattering Blade, continued to explore the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, on the other hand, fell into a deep sleep.
With his greatly increased strength, Chen Feng had more confidence. With his current strength, the Soul Beasts on the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest could no longer harm him.
His safety was still relatively guaranteed in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for exploring further inwards… Chen Feng wouldn't go; life is only once, and if you don't court death, you won't die.
Meanwhile, over 300 miles away, Huo Yuhao was leisurely making his way into the Star Dou Great Forest.
A few days later.
In the Star Dou Great Forest that morning, due to the temperature difference between day and night, the lush green vegetation was covered in dewdrops. The morning light made the dewdrops glow, and the fresh air was invigorating.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng had no time to enjoy it. Just as he was about to continue exploring,
three figures approached from not far away. Chen Feng looked in the direction of the sound. Leading the way was a young girl, appearing to be fifteen or sixteen years old. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail and hung down her back. A light blue outfit accentuated her budding figure, exuding youthful energy.
She had almond-shaped eyes, large and bright, a straight nose, and a near-perfect oval face. This girl wasn't flawlessly beautiful, but she possessed a refined and elegant air that instantly won people over.
Following behind the girl was a boy who appeared to be about her age. The boy was tall and slender, with short, dark blue hair that shimmered like jewels in the sunlight.
Although young, he exuded a refined air, his handsome face bearing a lazy, gentle smile. However, upon seeing Chen Feng, his smile vanished, replaced by a slight wariness.
The blue-haired boy was already quite handsome, but still paled in comparison to Chen Feng. These two were naturally Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
The last of the three was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, of moderate build, dressed in ordinary gray clothes—this was Huo Yuhao.
The charming Tang Ya was involuntarily drawn to Chen Feng's sharp charisma and handsome appearance, unable to resist taking a second look.
The blue-haired boy, Bei Bei, seeing Tang Ya staring at such a handsome young man, felt a pang of jealousy and coughed twice.
"Cough cough!!"
Tianmeng first sealed the essence of her spirit within Chen Feng's spiritual sea, intending to transform it into a soul ring later, referring to Youyou
(End of Chapter).
