Chapter 81: Chapter 88: Brother Tianmeng Who Inherited the Legacy of Wei Wu
In Huo Yuhao's mind, intense spiritual fluctuations began to appear. He only felt waves of dizziness wash over him, and he had to lean against a nearby dead tree to keep himself from falling.
His first soul ring had already quietly emerged. The snow-white soul ring emitted a lustrous glow, slowly moving in rhythm around his body.
Huo Yuhao's purple-red, ripple-patterned Spirit Eyes began to gradually change. His mind was clear, but his body had lost control as the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm took charge.
At this moment, he only felt his sense of consciousness rapidly extend outwards, expanding at high speed. That feeling was like overlooking the earth from the sky, completely different from the feeling he had when using Spiritual Detection in the past.
In the core region of the vast Land of Extreme North, all light suddenly dimmed, as if day had instantly turned to night. Immediately after, an invisible majesty instantly expanded, accompanied by an extremely terrifying spiritual power that bloomed outwards with Huo Yuhao's body as the center.
Huo Yuhao was pleasantly surprised to find that at this moment, he actually had an exhilarating feeling of reigning over the world. The earth, the ice and snow, were all completely surrendering at his feet. That feeling of having everything under his control was simply too wonderful. It seemed that with a turn of his hand, he could destroy everything, and with a glance, he could judge all.
Is this the display of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's full spiritual power cultivation? It feels way too wonderful!
In the gloomy sky above, muffled thunder began to rumble. It was a worldly phenomenon caused by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual power.
Huo Yuhao's body completely turned a brilliant gold. His first lustrous white ring began to slowly change color, from the original white gradually to a pale gold, and then to a brilliant gold. The splendor of that golden color was absolutely incomparable to any soul ring color Huo Yuhao had ever seen.
Those white ten-year soul rings, yellow hundred-year soul rings, purple thousand-year soul rings, black ten-thousand-year soul rings, and even the red hundred-thousand-year soul rings could only submit before this golden soul ring that possessed an endless majesty.
This was the true color of the one and only million-year soul ring on the Douluo Continent! It was also the first time the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had let its color bloom again in the world!
Brilliant gold, a stunningly brilliant gold, caused a strange feeling to rise in Huo Yuhao's heart.
One day, I will have the gods unable to cover my eyes. I will have this continent unable to block my will. I will have all the world kneel and kowtow to me, to become the person Old Yi spoke of, the one who grasps the sun and moon and plucks the stars.
What the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm brought him at this moment was not just power in perception, but it also planted a seed of belief in his heart—the belief of a world-destroying demon king who is the sole honored one. It gave Huo Yuhao, for the first time, an ideal far loftier than revenge.
As if sensing the transformation in his mentality, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transmitted a gratified emotion to him.
That's right! He is the true master of this million-year soul ring. If he didn't have lofty ambitions, wouldn't it be letting a pearl be covered in dust?
Balls of brilliant golden light began to drill out from the spot between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows. With each ball that drilled out, Huo Yuhao felt a wave of emptiness. When the fourth ball of light drilled out, he was even a little shaky.
Back then, a total of ten balls of golden light had drilled into his body from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. This was its spiritual origin, its most core power. Because Huo Yuhao's physique had become incomparably formidable after being tempered by the blood pool, unlike the original novel where he could only stare blankly at these spiritual origins, he had instead absorbed five of them.
Now, four balls of golden light had left, leaving only the last one, which had already been partially absorbed by Huo Yuhao. That was also the link between the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao.
The four balls of golden light slowly descended from the air. The first ball landed directly on the snow, followed by the second landing on top of it. Then, the four balls stacked, their overall volume continuously shrinking, while the gold became more and more solid. At this moment, Huo Yuhao could completely and clearly feel the formidable spiritual cultivation of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. It was a terrifying spiritual power that could even change the phenomena of the heavens.
The four stacked balls of golden light gradually took shape, surprisingly condensing into a golden person of light. It was just that this golden person of light looked exactly like him. Even the golden form-fitting clothes that were manifested on its body were in the style of the clothes he usually wore, which truly made Huo Yuhao not know whether to laugh or cry.
A powerful will spread out the moment the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual body took shape.
"Bingbing, I know you've sensed my existence. I, Tianmeng, have come back for you. Are you willing to share a pillow and mat with this silkworm?"
Hearing these words, Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong almost spurted, their faces twitching uncontrollably in unison.
At the same time the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke, a spiritual power so strong that Huo Yuhao couldn't imagine it instantly covered his body, completely shielding all of his aura.
In a sense, Tianmeng and Huo Yuhao had long been of one heart and one body. Therefore, when Huo Yuhao's spiritual power came into contact with that powerful spiritual power, he could perceive the situation of the outside world through the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual power. It was even amplified many times by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual power. The wind blowing and grass stirring within a thousand-meter radius were now all within his perception.
What was even more magical was that this time, spiritual perception had truly replaced his physical eyes. He could even see everything in the outside world through his spiritual power, and not just detect the form of things.
After saying that flirty line, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became calm, but the gold on its body became more and more intense. That bright golden light was exceptionally conspicuous in this snow-white world.
The sky above became darker and darker, and the dark clouds pressed down layer by layer, making the atmosphere between heaven and earth even more oppressive. But in this dim world, the golden light on the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body was still so brilliant and dazzling.
Tianmeng was not in a hurry at all. It just stood there quietly. The biting cold wind blew past, but it stood firm and unshakable.
Huo Yuhao could feel that at this moment, thousands upon thousands of soul beasts were fleeing in all directions in terror.
In terms of direct combat power, Tianmeng might be in a pinch even when encountering a ten-thousand-year soul beast. However, if it was purely on a spiritual level, besides the God-King level Silver Dragon King, there was no soul beast on the entire Douluo Continent that could contend with it.
At this moment, Tianmeng had fully unleashed its own spiritual power. The scope of its coverage was so large that it almost encompassed the entire area it wanted to cover. One-third of the core region of the Land of Extreme North was under its spiritual power detection.
The spiritual power released by Tianmeng was not using its own aura. At least, a soul beast that was not familiar with it would never have thought that this was something a guy with no offensive skills could do.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm used its own terrifying spiritual power to simulate an aura that made the soul beasts in the Land of Extreme North not even dare to have half a thought of resistance: the leader of the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, the Snow Empress, who possessed a cultivation of five hundred thousand years and a noble bloodline.
And the one it was looking for, the Ice Empress, who was ranked second among the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, was also within the range of its spiritual power envelopment. The Ice Empress had known it for a long time and naturally would not mistake its aura, let alone its line just now, which was full of the legacy of Wei Wu.
With the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's understanding of the Ice Empress, it believed that she would definitely come. Faced with Tianmeng, this huge supplement, no soul beast could resist the temptation. Not to mention the Ice Empress, whose cultivation had exceeded three hundred thousand years but was unable to break through the four-hundred-thousand-year barrier.
Just as the Ice Empress knew it very well, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also knew the Ice Empress well. Back then, when the Ice Empress had almost put it to death, her cultivation had just broken through three hundred thousand years not long ago. And thinking about it now, she shouldn't be far from four hundred thousand years.
The Ice Empress had already reached her limit when she broke through to three hundred thousand years of cultivation back then, and her origin had been injured. It was impossible for her to pass the four-hundred-thousand-year mark. Only by absorbing Tianmeng's vast and pure energy would it be possible for her to break through the shackles, and even surpass the Snow Empress, who was ranked first among the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North.
The only thing the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was thankful for was that it had learned from Huo Yuhao's memories that the Snow Empress at this point in time had already been captured by someone using a God-Sealing Platform during her transformation.
Under the temptation concerning its own life, the Ice Empress had no choice. It was inevitable that she would come, and she would definitely come.
When Tianmeng actually felt her aura, a smile of a successful scheme had already appeared on its face, which was identical to Huo Yuhao's.
Just as Huo Yuhao was waiting with a racing heart, anxious, worried, and even more so with his whole body restless with excitement, suddenly, the outside world changed—
The pitch-black clouds in the sky suddenly fluctuated violently. Immediately after, from the distant horizon, a thick layer of emerald-green light instantly spread towards Tianmeng's position.
The grayish-black sky instantly turned emerald green, a translucent and alluring emerald green. The moving color was like a huge piece of emerald-green gemstone. At this time, the originally oppressive aura in the air also vanished in an instant.
When this emerald green spread to within a thousand-meter radius of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao felt it. He couldn't help but soothe his excited mood.
She's here. The Ice Empress is finally here.
"Ice Empress, why has the big bug that escaped back then appeared here?"
Just at this moment, the earth suddenly shook violently. One after another, thick cracks spread across the ice surface. Immediately after, countless tree branches grew out from the cracks, converging towards one position to form a giant tree that reached the heavens.
From the terrifying oppressive force coming from that towering giant tree, it was surprisingly another ferocious beast not inferior to the Ice Empress!
"What is this now?" Huo Yuhao was greatly shocked. The world line had changed again. This time, it wasn't just the Ice Empress who had come!
