The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 135 The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Has Been Captured

Noticing Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu looking behind him in surprise, Xia Liang also turned his head to look. But at this moment, the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill had already been deactivated, and the twelve-winged Chaos Angel wearing black and purple bone armor had already turned into light and dissipated.

"What are you looking at?" Xia Liang asked, puzzled.

Qian Renxue shook her head and did not reply.

After being purified by the holy light of the twelve-winged Chaos Angel, all the fear and despair in her heart had vanished. Now she could fly on her own.

However, the feeling of being carried and flown was very comfortable, especially after the martial soul auras were completely integrated. Qian Renxue felt that when she was hugging this virtuous brother, she even had the urge to merge into his body. Unconsciously, she would hug him tighter and tighter, not wanting to be separated for even a second.

In the sky, golden and dark purple light streaked across the forest, flying over the boundary between the core and outer areas of the forest before transforming into the forms of Qian Daoliu and Xia Liang and falling into the mountain pass in the valley.

According to Qian Daoliu's spiritual power detection, there was no trace of soul beasts in this valley, so it could serve as a temporary resting place.

"Brother Xue, we've escaped safely. How long are you going to hold me?"

Hearing Xia Liang's slightly teasing voice, Qian Renxue was startled awake from the comfortable feeling after her martial soul had fully fused. She immediately landed on her feet from Xia Liang's embrace and retorted, "What's wrong with a hug? We're brothers. Do you think I would have any ulterior motives towards you?"

"No, not at all." Xia Liang smiled. "I'm just afraid that if I hug you for too long, I'll still have your scent on me, and if Yan Yan finds out when we get back, that would be terrible."

It was a very casual joke, but when it reached Qian Renxue's ears, it made her heart suddenly contract as if she had been punched, followed by a feeling of heaviness in her chest, and her face turned ugly.

She almost forgot that her brother already had a partner, and that what she was doing would indeed cause him trouble.

Seemingly noticing his granddaughter's change in mood, Qian Daoliu took out the unconscious Golden Fire Silver Wolf from his belt's soul tool and changed the subject, saying, "Alright, stop chatting for now. Xiaoxue, come and absorb your soul ring."

"Okay." Qian Renxue responded and followed Qian Daoliu to the open space in front. After killing the Golden Fire Silver Wolf, she quickly guided the soul ring into her body and began to absorb it.

"Child. You've been traveling all this way. Even if you're not tired, your soul power must be almost depleted, right? I'll take care of Xiaoxue. You should go and rest over there," Qian Daoliu said to Xia Liang.

Xia Liang nodded, found a boulder nearby, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and used meditation to restore his soul power.

The experience in the core area of ​​the planet Dou Da Forest was truly thrilling but ultimately safe. The possessor of the ultimate dark aura, who was suspected to be the ruler of the forest, must have discovered that Qian Daoliu was protected by divine power, which is why he dared not continue to pursue him.

Based on the analysis of the original work, the ruler of this forest is definitely the Beast God Di Tian.

In addition to his extreme darkness attribute, Di Tian's understanding of spatial attributes has also reached an extremely high level.

No matter how you look at it, it is very suitable to become the soul ring of the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul.

However, even during the first era of Dou Yi, Di Tian's cultivation was at least 600,000 years. If he were to use it as a soul ring, it would be something that would happen after he reached level 90 soul power.

Putting aside his ill will towards Di Tian, ​​Xia Liang began to examine the information transmitted back by each Gengar source in the alternate dimension.

Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.

When the Golden Fire Silver Wolf was snatched away by Qian Daoliu, the Crimson King originally wanted to give chase, but unexpectedly, due to the huge difference in strength between the two sides, he was suppressed in place by Qian Daoliu's soul power and could not move.

However, thanks to its timely roar, which attracted Di Tian, ​​who was also hiding in the core area, although it lost the Golden Fire Silver Wolf, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion only fainted and was not harmed.

Looking up at the dark clouds that covered an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius, the Crimson King knelt on one knee and asked curiously, "Beast God, why didn't you pursue that human? If he had escaped, our whereabouts would have been exposed!"

Are you questioning me?

A deep voice suddenly came from within the dark clouds, causing the Crimson King to tremble slightly, "This subordinate dares not. However..."

The voice from the dark clouds remained silent for a moment before speaking, "That human just now suppressed you with merely his soul power, which proves that his strength is absolutely top-tier among humans. Do you know what I sensed from him? I sensed divine power, the divine power of the God of Light. If we were to truly fight, even I might not be able to win easily. Humanity indeed still harbors unparalleled powerhouses."

After hearing this explanation, the Crimson King finally understood why he was powerless to fight back; it turned out that his opponent, like the Beast God, possessed divine skills.

"After this incident, our whereabouts will be exposed sooner or later. Therefore, we must increase our strength as soon as possible. Only when we are strong will those Soul Masters not dare to be arrogant. Crimson King, I am now giving you a new mission."

A voice suddenly spoke from within the dark clouds, "I need you to lead those spirit beasts with keen senses of smell to find a treasure."

"Beast God, what treasure are you referring to?" the Crimson King asked tentatively.

"Recently, I discovered that a soul beast with the same cultivation level as me has entered the core area of ​​the forest."

Upon hearing this, the Crimson King was immediately taken aback. "The same cultivation level as you, Lord Beast God? Doesn't that mean that this soul beast also has 780,000 years of cultivation?"

"From what I've learned, that soul beast's cultivation level might even surpass mine," the voice in the black clouds said thoughtfully. "However, it's a spirit-attribute soul beast. Apart from its high cultivation level, its combat strength isn't particularly strong. Even a top-tier ten-thousand-year soul beast could kill it."

"This..." The Red King was somewhat puzzled. "My lord, since it's so weak, why do we still want it as a partner? We might as well let the monkey and the giant snake join us."

"Did I say I would treat it as a partner?" The voice from the dark clouds said coldly. "That soul beast comes from the Ice Silkworm clan and should live in the far north. I don't know why it appeared in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. But it is undoubtedly a good thing for us. Because that Ice Silkworm soul beast contains an incomparably vast amount of heaven and earth elemental power within its body."

The Crimson King finally understood, "Beast God, do you intend to capture it for our cultivation?"

"Yes. That Ice Silkworm Soul Beast has at least 900,000 years of cultivation. If we can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from its body to cultivate, our cultivation will improve very quickly."

The golden gaze from within the dark clouds fixed on the unconscious three-eyed golden lion beside the Crimson King, and said solemnly, "With the addition of this child's fortune, our strength will rise to another level in less than ten thousand years."

The Crimson King fully understood what the other party meant and respectfully said, "Congratulations, Your Excellency. If you absorb the energy of that Ice Silkworm to cultivate, and with the power of luck increasing the probability of breaking through your bottleneck, your cultivation will surely break through 800,000 years in the shortest possible time. At that time, even if you face that Soul Master with divine power just now, you will be able to kill him easily!"

"Red King, when did you learn that human flattery?" the voice in the dark clouds commanded. "Go and carry out the mission. Don't let that Ice Silkworm get accidentally killed by the other soul beasts."

"Yes, sir!" Upon receiving the reply, the Crimson King immediately set off to gather all the spirit beasts with keen senses of smell to search for the legendary Ice Silkworm Spirit Beast, whose cultivation was said to be over 900,000 years old.

Starry Sky Forest.

The boundary between the core area and the outer area.

In a secluded cave within the valley, whispers suddenly arose: "It seems that whether it's the far north or the Star Dou Great Forest, all soul beasts are the same. Greedy, treacherous, they're practically demons. Luckily, I lack strength, but my mental attribute is the best on the continent. If I hadn't hidden myself using mental interference and mental simulation, I would have truly become their nourishment."

At this point, the whispering voice sighed dejectedly, having been forced to flee the far north to the Star Dou Great Forest by being hunted by its natural enemies. However, it hadn't expected that while the Star Dou Great Forest had no natural enemies, every soul beast regarded its nearly million-year cultivation as a great tonic.

What I didn't expect was that even the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest wanted to plot against me. The outside world is really too scary.

Recalling the days when they used to hide in the ice cave, eating and sleeping all day, the whispering voice sighed again.

If I had known the outside world was so dangerous, I would have preferred to stay with my natural enemy in the far north. He may be my natural enemy, but he's also the object of my unrequited love.

Being devoured by the object of one's unrequited love is, in a sense, a way of becoming one with them and staying together forever.

Thinking of the captivating emerald green figure of his unrequited love, whispers began to run through his mind, "Ice Emperor, I miss you so much. Once I've honed my cunning and wisdom by scheming against those powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, I'll definitely be able to escape safely. Then I'll find a way to return to the far north and see you one last time."

The whispering stopped abruptly, followed by a snoring sound.

Although sounds echoed continuously inside the cave, not a single soul beast could be seen. It wasn't that the soul beast was too small to be noticed; on the contrary, the soul beast that had been whispering earlier was over seven meters long and looked like a round, white worm.

However, due to the assistance of its incredibly powerful mental attributes, this large white worm was able to mimic its surrounding environment, thus achieving the effect of invisibility.

With the addition of mental interference, even a powerful figure like the Beast God Di Tian was unable to lock onto it through mental perception.

This large white worm was none other than the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a soul beast with nearly a million years of cultivation, which the Beast God Emperor Tian had ordered the Crimson King to find.

Just three seconds after Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell asleep, a Gengar, like a ghost without a physical form, emerged from the cave wall. It looked around, its large red eyes fixed on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was fast asleep in the corner of the cave.

"Hehehe." Gengar let out a sinister laugh, a smile revealing a row of large teeth.

At the same time, the origin of the other dimension began to stir.

While waiting for Qian Renxue to absorb her soul ring in another valley, Xia Liang, while checking the Gengar's origin in the alternate dimension, suddenly received a message from a Gengar's origin.

According to the Gengar, it could hear the whispers of a spirit beast in a cave, but it could not find any trace of the spirit beast.

Connected to Gengar's origin, sharing vision through soul power, Xia Liang seemed to possess Gengar's body as if his soul had entered it.

Using his X-ray vision, Xia Liang scanned through Gengar's red eyes and finally found the trace of the talking spirit beast in the cave. It turned out to be a large white insect with strange golden patterns on its body, more than seven meters long.

It seems that the large white worm uses mental attributes to achieve invisibility and simulation effects.

As the saying goes, everything has its counter, and the incredibly powerful X-ray vision is just the right thing to counter the white worm's stealth and simulation abilities.

Activating his Bone Observation Realm, Xia Liang discovered that this large white worm was not only a soul beast, but its cultivation level was several times higher than that of the Crimson King he had encountered before.

However, the white worm's body did not exhibit a skeletal form under the Bone Observation Realm; it didn't even have a single bone. This meant that even if its cultivation exceeded 100,000 years, it would not produce any soul bones after death.

This was the first time Xia Liang had ever seen a soul beast without a skeletal structure, and such soul beasts were generally soft-bodied creatures.

The large white worm that Gengar discovered should be a silkworm-type spirit beast with a massive flow of ice-attribute energy within its body, coupled with an incredibly powerful mental attribute.

Based on these characteristics, Xia Liang roughly guessed that the large white worm was the million-year-old soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, that he was looking for.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the first era of Dou Yi had not yet cultivated to a level of one million years.

It's neither possible to create a soul bone, nor is it safe to rashly absorb a spiritual attribute soul ring that's nearly a million years old.

Thinking of this, Xia Liang couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had another use for him: feeding the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon.

The Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul has now evolved to possess the ultimate dark attribute. When the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon is fed with blood containing ultimate dark energy, there is a high probability that the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon will mutate to possess the dark attribute and gain the ability to devour.

Once the Blue Silver King, which had been devoured for 80,000 years, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been devoured for nearly a million years, the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon will soon become a million-year-old soul beast.

The blood nourished by the ultimate dark attribute will gradually dominate the soul and body of the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon. Combined with the alteration of soul memories, it can implant a mission into the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon that it was born to sacrifice itself for its master.

At that time, after the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon, which has broken through to a million-year cultivation level, is sacrificed, he will be able to obtain a million-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring, a million-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, and a second Martial Soul based on the Blue Silver Emperor, namely, a plant.

The only thing that worries Xia Liang is that every time a soul beast breaks through the 100,000-year bottleneck, it will face a heavenly tribulation.

If the Blue Silver Emperor's cultivation level were to increase to a million years in a short period of time, it would have to face eight heavenly tribulations in that short time. It is unknown whether the Blue Silver Emperor, with its life attribute of being able to withstand the ravages of eight heavenly tribulations in a short period of time.

With a sigh of disappointment, Xia Liang felt a little regretful. According to the original description, with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion around, the probability of all soul beasts breaking through the 100,000-year bottleneck would double.

If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been controlled at that time, the probability of the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon successfully undergoing its tribulation would have increased significantly.

However, capturing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion will inevitably anger Emperor Tian, ​​leading to a beast tide.

Xia Liang felt he shouldn't be too greedy; being able to intercept the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was already an unexpected gain from this trip.
