Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 5 The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Almost Died of Fright
Just then, a magnificent male lion spirit beast, over five meters long and possessing three identical lions, approached and asked in a low voice.

Seeing that the auspicious beast had said so, the Red King didn't ask any further questions, assuming that it was simply in a bad mood today.

A flicker of doubt crossed the Crimson King's six amber pupils, but it ultimately merely shook its majestic mane: "Auspicious Beast, I have to return to the clan first. Don't wander off; I'll be back in a bit." It paced around the lake twice, and seeing the little creature resting its chin on its front paws, breathing long and even, it departed with heavy steps. As the Crimson King's figure gradually disappeared into the distant shadows of the trees, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni remained lying beside the Lake of Life, its waters shimmering gently, the grass along its shore exuding a faint fragrance.

It had hoped to relax amidst this vibrant life force, but its mood was instead a jumbled mess, growing increasingly agitated. A mysterious force seemed to be urging it from the depths of its being, making it restless and eager to leave in search of something unknown.

"Damn it!" the three-eyed golden ox growled, its voice filled with anger and helplessness. It simply closed its golden eyes, sprawled its massive body on the ground, and tried to dispel the inexplicable restlessness with sleep. However, the moment it closed its eyes, the urging sensation surged forth like a tidal wave, even stronger than before, instantly pulling it back from its half-awake state. It abruptly opened its eyes, their gleam flashing with fury, and scanned its surroundings. It found that the Crimson King was indeed not nearby, and all the other familiar uncles, aunts, and other relatives were nowhere to be seen.

"Hmph, since none of you are here, I'll go see for myself!" The Three-Eyed Golden Cow mused to itself. After a moment's hesitation, it finally made up its mind. It decided to go alone to find the thing that had been bothering it, and no longer expected the Crimson King to protect it. In its perception, that thing was somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest, and in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, no soul beast dared to harm it.

Even among those human soul masters, who could be his match?
Although he only has ten thousand years of cultivation, his strength is equivalent to that of a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Moreover, he controls two extreme attributes: extreme fire and extreme light. Ordinary titled Douluo are no match for him.

I am the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and no one has ever dared to kill me.

Thinking of its immense strength and profound identity, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion grew increasingly resolute and its courage grew stronger. Without hesitation, it rose from the shores of the Lake of Life and embarked alone on a journey to find the mysterious feeling within its heart.

…………

On the other side, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was directly overpowered by Xia Die because it was simply too weak. If it were a true million-year-old soul beast, it would be a huge problem, but for someone like Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it was completely unnecessary.

But speaking of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, if it weren't for the fact that you startled Bolysia when you appeared, and that Xia Die didn't hold back in beating Tianmeng Ice Silkworm up, you would have been a real disappointment.

With the power of death wielded by Xia Die, Tianmeng Bingcan was naturally no match for her, and Bolysia also possessed the power of death.

The two are twins, one a butterfly and the other a flower. They didn't know each other before, but they have been very happy together during this time.

She had already lost her mother, and Polycia was her only family in the world. If anyone hurt her, they would pay with their life.

"Um, sister, I was wrong. I didn't mean to scare your sister. Please let me go."

"Your Excellency, this time I meant no harm, I'm just giving you a small lesson." Xia Die said coldly, looking at Tianmeng Bingcan with his bruised and swollen face.

Who could imagine that a Soul Master could easily defeat a million-year-old Soul Beast like him?

However, Xia Die still showed mercy. She was still wearing the ring that restrained her from dying, and even a slight touch would surely kill Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Xia Die released her grip on Tianmeng Bingcan's hand.

Tianmeng Bingcan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was terrified by Xia Die's power, he did not have any intention of running away because he was the one who scared the other girl, so it was reasonable for her to beat him up.

However, he was also attracted by a spiritual force, which was none other than Xia Die's.

Xia Die also knew about Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and this mission was for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Then, please tell me, what is the purpose of your visit?"

"that……"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm glanced in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, and suddenly sensed an aura coming this way. This aura was all too familiar to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

It's that little ancestor. Why is she here? Then, that guy Red King is here too. Could he be here to capture me?

I just escaped not long ago and I'm looking for a human with mental attributes. I don't want to retaliate and become experience points again.

"Sir, what are you thinking?"

Tianmeng Bingcan looked at Xia Die and felt like she was about to get beaten up again. She was going to get beaten up again without saying anything.

Finally, when faced with the choice between being captured and losing her life, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm decisively chose to say, "I'm sorry, please forgive my rudeness. After this is over, you can beat me up however you want."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was directly applied to Xia Die's forehead.

The power emanating from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emitted a pale golden light, illuminating the area within range. The golden patterns on its body, inch by inch, seemed to suddenly come alive.

It transformed into ten golden orbs of light, which then transformed into golden halos, enveloping Xia Die. "Sister, big bug, what have you done?"

Polycia wanted to use her power of death to stop the operation, but a voice from Xavier reached her ears.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, Polycia. You just need to wait a moment."

Upon hearing Xiaodie's voice, Posia relaxed somewhat.

Sister, since you say it's nothing, then it's nothing. But if that big bug does anything to you, I will make it pay the price.

After all, they are twins; Polycia represents flowers, and Xavier represents butterflies.

Meanwhile, over the past few years, Xia Die has also helped Bolysia awaken her martial soul, and her fate is the same as hers: memories and attributes represent death.

Her martial soul is Polyces, which is her own memory spirit. In other words, Polycia's martial soul is herself.

My current soul power is only level 20, but the Sea of ​​Deathly Nether Flowers also exists among soul beasts, so it's still possible.

At this moment, an extremely cold force froze the surroundings, but it immediately dissipated, turning into clusters of ghostly flowers.

Ten golden halos quickly enveloped Xia Die's body, and the soul of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm directly entered Xia Die's brow and entered her sea of ​​consciousness.

But it was incredibly terrifying inside; it contained the power of death, a power so terrifying that even the battle between Di Tian and the Evil Emperor was not as powerful.

Within it lies another power, the Titan, the Titan of Death—the Hand of the Ashes.

It belongs to the three great Titans of Calamity, also known as the Three Cataclysmic Tribulations.

The three calamity titans are the Titan of Deception, the Titan of Conflict, and the Titan of Death.

The power of Titan is the force that sustains heaven and earth, the destiny from ancient times to the present, and the rules governing the conduct of all things in the world.

There are twelve Titans in total. They were born from the "Spark," with three weaving destiny, three creating heaven and earth, three shaping life, and three guiding calamities.

Polycia and The Butterfly belong to Cenatos, the Dark Hand, one of the three great Titans of Calamity.

When all living beings have nowhere to rest, the tides of the Styx will surge to the earth.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, there is also the spark of the Titan of Death, symbolizing the divine authority of [Cenathous, the Hand of Ash], hence he is called a demigod.

These sparks all originated from Onpharos, the source of the Titans' power, and a symbol of their divine authority.

In the myth of Onphalus, after a Titan dies, his embers are collected by the Golden Sons and preserved in the vortex of creation.

To obtain the power of the Fire Seed, only the Golden Descendants of Onpharos can acquire the Titans, but the Golden Descendants must also complete the trials of each corresponding Titan.

It is called the "Tribute of the Fire".

Senatos was the god of death and annihilation, and his divine authority was closely associated with death, the River Styx, and the dead.

Cenatos's symbol is the "Gray Hand," representing the coldness and ruthlessness of death. The instant the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm poured its entire form into the Butterfly's body, an invisible ripple of spiritual energy erupted from it. This spiritual power, imbued with terrifying pressure, surged like an undercurrent, instantly engulfing every inch of space within a hundred miles. Wherever it went, everything seemed to be frozen in time.

The creatures of the Starry Sky Forest froze for a moment, then fell into a state of stagnation. Unlike attacks with physical destructive power, this mental shock, in a more mysterious and deadly way, caused all living beings to go into a blank mind for an instant, losing all perception and judgment of their surroundings. Birds hovered in mid-air, beasts stood still, and even the babbling brooks seemed to forget to flow for a moment.

At this moment, the vast area at the southern end of the Starry Sky Forest was plunged into a suffocating silence. There were no chirping insects or birdsong, no rustling of wind or movement of grass, only that frozen stillness.

Just then, the once clear blue sky suddenly churned and turned as black as ink. Lead-like clouds, like vortexes stirred by an invisible giant hand, gathered at an alarming speed in the sky, shredding and swallowing the midday sun. Immediately afterward, a deafening roar exploded from the heavens, as if a rift had been torn open in the sky, and the sonic wave, carrying with it fragments of rocks and withered branches, raged through the forest.

The entire Starry Sky Forest trembled violently with the roar, its canopy undulating like a raging storm. Thick darkness poured down from the depths of the clouds, completely swallowing the sunlight and plunging the earth into pitch-black gloom. A pressure as heavy as a mountain descended with a deafening roar, instantly thickening the air like glue. The vegetation on the ground twisted and deformed under this force, and even the fish in the streams were forced to the bottom of the pools, not daring to make the slightest ripple.
