Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 89 My younger brother and sister-in-law have given orders

"It's that giant worm, Tianmeng. You're still alive. You truly deserve to be the longest-lived creature in our far north." The Ice Emperor's clear voice rang out from all directions, responding to the previous voice. Accompanied by a terrifying sound wave, the snow on the ground rose almost three meters high in an instant, like waves suddenly stirred up. At this moment, only the area within a hundred meters in diameter around Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body remained calm, completely protected by the immense spiritual power emanating from its body.

"Bingbing, you're not dead yet, so why can't I live? Do you remember what I said back then? If I don't die, one day I'll become your partner." Tianmeng Bingcan's voice suddenly became very gentle, and that even slightly smug voice gave Huo Yuhao goosebumps. No wonder he's been a simp for millions of years!

With Huo Yuhao and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's current combination, coming to this far north is undoubtedly a huge risk. Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is powerful, it has now undoubtedly become dependent on Huo Yuhao, becoming his first spirit ring. Even though it is an intelligence spirit ring, it is still part of a spirit master's body. Whether it is strong or weak depends mainly on Huo Yuhao's abilities.

"King of Ten Thousand Demons, I never expected you to appear in this place in the far north." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm turned her head to face the towering tree, her eyes suddenly turning cold. "Why did you, who lives a secluded life in the Starry Sky, come to disturb my reunion with Bingbing?"

The Demon King? One of the ten most ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest? Huo Yuhao was astonished. Why would the Demon Eye Tree, ranked fifth, appear in this place?

The trunk of the demonic tree twisted and deformed continuously, eventually transforming into human form in the spiritual perception of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

The Demon King appeared as a middle-aged man, not particularly handsome, with a bluish complexion and even his eyes a chilling, eerie green, filled with a sinister light. He wasn't particularly tall, but rather quite slender. His dark green robe billowed behind him without wind, and his matching long hair flowed similarly. However, his hair was excessively long, trailing ten meters behind him.

Among all plant-type soul beasts on the continent, there are always some with extraordinary talents. Once they fully mature, they are even more terrifying than the vast majority of animal-type soul beasts.

The Demon King, whose true form was the Demon Eye Tree, was just like that. He was originally a Demon Eye Tree growing on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, and his lineage was nothing special.

Although the Demon Eye Tree is a rare species in the Star Dou Great Forest, even if it cultivates into a Soul Beast, it is not particularly powerful. This is because they are of the mental attribute, and their greatest strength lies in using the tree eyes that appear on their bodies to paralyze and control their opponents, and then using their corrosive sap to kill them, whose decay becomes their nourishment.

Among the five ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, if someone were to understand their personalities completely, then the Demon King would probably be the least desirable enemy to choose. It may lack the strength of a Beast God or the explosive power of a Bear King, but it possesses the ruthlessness of a viper and a level of patience far exceeding that of ordinary soul beasts, making it an absolutely terrifying foe.

After discovering its existence, Di Tian had no choice but to forcibly keep it near his habitat for surveillance. This was because when Di Tian discovered the existence of the Demon King, it already ruled over more than a third of the spirit beasts in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. With its help, these plant-type spirit beasts were all growing rapidly.

The reason Di Tian didn't kill it stemmed from apprehension. Plants were the last line of defense for the Star Dou Great Forest. The importance of the Ten Thousand Demon King, who possessed a large number of plant-type soul beasts, to the Star Dou Great Forest was self-evident! Even Di Tian dared not kill it; in Di Tian's eyes, its existence was even more important than the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.

"Tianmeng, since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!" Bingdi's clear voice suddenly filled with killing intent, and the azure sky turned dark green in an instant. A thick killing intent descended from the sky, and the air within a hundred-meter radius that Tianmeng was originally protecting instantly shrank.

"Ice Emperor, now that this guy has appeared, why not bring him back to Star Dou and continue to make use of him?" The Demon King, with his hands behind his back, looked at the location of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with great interest. "The Lord has ordered that all the ferocious beasts on the continent must gather in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest soon. This big worm can be considered half a ferocious beast. Why not bring it back and wait for the Lord's decision?"

Upon hearing the words "Master," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expression immediately turned extremely ugly. He recalled that when he was imprisoned by the ferocious beasts of Di Tian, ​​he had been drained of his life force by the "Master" mentioned by the Demon King.

My Lord? The Silver Dragon King has been born? Huo Yuhao was stunned. Wasn't that guy still recovering from his injuries? From the perspective of the original work, even if the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena becomes the God of Life in the future, she will still have to call Huo Yuhao her brother-in-law!

Huo Yuhao's brother-in-law, Tang Wulin, wasn't even born yet, and this adopted sister-in-law has already started causing trouble?

Speaking of these soul beasts, their ability to transform into human form is truly unique. In the original work, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was the darling of life. When she transformed into a human, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the entire Douluo series, without exception.

While Huo Yuhao was still lost in thought, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm ignored the Demon King beside her and continued calmly and elegantly, "No, I'm speaking from the heart. I've lived for a million years, and for most of those million years, I've spent them in my dreams. And deep in my heart, the only one who left a mark, the one who moves me so deeply, is you. Bingbing, do you know why I chose to come back at this time? Because I calculated that in less than a hundred years, you will reach your limit, reach the end of your life. At that time, you will not be able to break through the next limit and will perish in this cold world. So, I came back. I can't wait any longer. A long life has become meaningless to me, and my own life is not long either. I came back so that you can live, so that we can truly be together."

Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong in the Sea of ​​Spirit both sighed, both amused and exasperated. How despicable was this Tianmeng Ice Silkworm! Huo Yuhao wasn't as fragile as the original owner. While Tianmeng's actions were indeed for the sake of the Ice Emperor, her ultimate goal was to help Huo Yuhao achieve his goals.

Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm possessed powerful spiritual energy, at this moment, its energy was entirely focused on sensing the Ice Emperor and the Demon King, and it was unaware of Huo Yuhao's thoughts about it.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued playfully, "Baby, after all these years, you still won't come out and see me?"

The Ice Emperor's icy voice rang out again: "Tianmeng, do you know that I am your race's natural enemy?"

Tianmeng Bingcan smiled calmly: "Of course I know, but so what? Who says you can't fall in love with your natural enemy? That's why I love you even more."

Hyotei scoffed, "Unfortunately, you're not worthy of liking me. However, I'm still very touched that you're willing to offer yourself up as food for me to devour. How can I not grant your wish to become one with you in this way? You should be able to feel me approaching you. Wait for me, I'll be by your side in fifteen minutes. I'll grant you this love, I'll treat you well, I'll slowly chew up your body and energy, making them a part of me."

The Demon King frowned but did not speak to stop him. In the far north, he dared not be too presumptuous. Even if the Beast God Di Tian were here, he could not stop the Ice Emperor from doing most of what he wanted to do.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have long been accustomed to Ice Empress's personality, and said helplessly, "Can't you be a little gentler? Always so cold and domineering, no wonder you're still single. By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, is that joke that's been circulating all over the far north true? Did you really fall in love with Snow Empress back then?"

"Tianmeng, I will tear you to pieces!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words instantly touched the Ice Emperor's deepest sore spot, and its voice instantly became hysterical. The dark green in the sky also suddenly turned into a deep black.

Just then, the voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rang in Huo Yuhao's mind: "Yuhao, get ready. When I say 'begin,' you need to be prepared for your third soul skill. That old cunning Demon King is here; many things won't be as easy as they used to be, understand?"

"Don't worry," Huo Yuhao replied.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed very nervous, and just the next moment, Ice Emperor, who had previously said it would take a quarter of an hour to appear, finally showed up.

The gray sky turned emerald green again, and a emerald green ray of light left a horizontal stripe in the sky. Almost in a flash of emerald light, a soul beast appeared opposite the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Hyotei is beautiful. It is about 1.5 meters long, not even as large as the original form of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. It is a scorpion, an extremely beautiful scorpion. It has two colors on its body, one is the color of ice, and the other is emerald green.

Hyotei's body has four overlapping layers at the front, each slightly longer than half a foot. Its head is located on the outermost layer, its silvery-white mouthparts gleaming with a chilling light. This front half of its body is covered with special scales—hexagonal protrusions that shimmer with unparalleled brilliance, like diamonds. These protrusions densely cover its front half and its six long, powerful legs. Reflected in the snow's light, they radiate an unparalleled brilliance. It's as if, at this moment, it has become a source of light, refracting countless rays of brilliance.

Its two front claws are both a meter long, and they are also covered with strange, diamond-like hexagonal protrusions. Only the frontmost claws and mouthparts are silver-white with a mirror-like luster.

Hyotei's eyes were hexagonal, like two yellow diamonds set in the ground, shimmering with a crystal-yellow light, giving off a dazzling, precious feel.

Unlike the multi-segmented tails of ordinary scorpions, Hyotei's long tail has only five segments, each an alluring emerald green that shimmers with a vibrant, life-giving luster. All five segments are the same color, with the widest segment closest to the upper body, gradually narrowing towards the rear. At the very last segment, a diamond-studded tail hook is raised high, its tip a shimmering, mirror-like silver point.

How could a soul beast as dazzling as a gemstone not deserve the word "beautiful"? Moreover, merely describing it as beautiful is rather pale and powerless. Even Bibi Dong in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea couldn't help but be stunned.

Upon seeing it, a look of intoxication unconsciously appeared in Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes. "Bingbing, you've come... You're still so charming. I remember the last time I saw you, your tail had six segments, but now it's fused into five! I love this alluring green. It seems my memory is correct; your time is drawing near..."

Hyotei scoffed disdainfully, and the clear female voice rang out again: "Your verbal sparring will only hasten your death. You've hidden yourself so well all these years, and this sudden return is just to throw your life away?"

Tianmeng Bingcan said tenderly, "Of course I did it so that you could live! My unrequited love is finally coming to an end. For so many years, I've dreamt of you every time I've been in a deep sleep. My dear, now we can finally be together forever."

Finally, Ice Emperor couldn't stand Tianmeng's ecstatic look any longer. Its raised tail hook suddenly lit up, and a beam of pure white light instantly pierced towards Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body.

"Ice Emperor, be careful!" the Demon King suddenly warned.

Third update today! With the Demon King around, will it be as easy for Brother Tianmeng to succeed this time as it was in the original story?
