Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 426 Huo Yuhao is crippled

In the early part of the story, Huo Yuhao is portrayed as at most a slightly extreme young man filled with hatred.

But the more the plot unfolds, the more extreme Huo Yuhao becomes, as if it's his duty for the whole world to be good to him, and he puts himself at the center of everything.

The same applies to Huo Yuhao today.

He never considered that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was not a mindless puppet. Even though the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had spent most of its million years of cultivation sleeping, its lifespan could still be counted in tens of thousands of years.

Especially the ten thousand years it was imprisoned in the Lake of Life by the Starry Sky Beast, where its essence was drained day and night and it was used as food.

What could possibly withstand such torment over thousands of years?

It's true that soul beasts aren't as intelligent as humans, but the soul beast race adheres to the rule of "survival of the fittest" far more strictly than the human world.

Humans need to consider interpersonal relationships and conflicts of interest, but in the world of spirit beasts, there is only one law: the survival of the fittest and strength reigns supreme.

emotion?

In the world of soul beasts, such things are really insignificant. Apart from those few heaven-defying creatures who are blinded by love, which other soul beast with a name isn't ruthless and irritable?

The Deep Sea Demon Whale family, except for Lan Fuzi who is a bit abstract, the Deep Sea Demon Whale couple are both stubborn, and the Demon Emperor has become the behind-the-scenes boss of the Holy Spirit Cult, stirring up trouble.

Even after his death, the Evil Eye Tyrant still tried to possess Huo Yuhao's body, but unfortunately he was too cautious, which led to his failure and Huo Yuhao becoming his scapegoat.

Aside from his erratic behavior and the controversial creation of the Spirit Pagoda by Huo Yuhao, Di Tian was an enemy of humanity from beginning to end. However, he had a powerful and unruly boss like Gu Yuena above him, and in the end, his body was used to build a warship after he died in the Heavenly Tribulation.

Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm didn't have that kind of spirit, it was no less afraid of losing its life. In the original story, it let Huo Yuhao be treated like a dog by Tang San. As long as Huo Yuhao could become a god, it didn't care at all whether he was being treated like a dog by someone else.

All I need is to live forever with Hyotei.

Now that it sees no hope of Huo Yuhao becoming a god, the decision it can make is already quite clear.

"I'm sorry..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said softly, but its expression quickly turned cold.

"No, I don't need to apologize at all. Our relationship was originally a partnership. Since you can no longer provide what I want and are unwilling to grow according to my plan, then we have no choice but to part ways."

The moment these words were spoken, it meant that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had made its decision.

Huo Yuhao, who was still immersed in the pain of Tang Wutong's departure and whose emotions were extremely unstable, also heard the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind.

"Brother Tianmeng, you..." Huo Yuhao panicked immediately.

Everything he possesses now, if not entirely given by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, is at least 80% thanks to it.

Apart from the million-year soul ring that comes with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the other six soul rings of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul have all become black ten-thousand-year soul rings under the infusion of the Spirit Seal.

The seventh spirit ring was originally taken from a 70,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant. With the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this spirit ring was also upgraded to the 100,000-year level, and the other spirit rings were all around 30,000 years old.

Even the Titan Snow Demon Soul Ring of the second martial soul was upgraded from the thousand-year level to the fifty-thousand-year level.

Although this version of Huo Gua is far inferior to the original Huo Gua, he is still a top genius, and his strength is comparable to that of Long Aotian and Xiao Hongchen.

While he may not be as strong as Long Aotian in terms of martial spirit, he can make up for it with a soul tool.

While one may not be as adept at using soul tools in the mortal world, one can make up for it with martial souls.

Although abstract, they can all be considered part of his strength.

Most of this is due to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Without the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he would never have had a second martial soul, and the growth of his Spirit Eye would have been extremely difficult. Not to mention having his current Soul Saint cultivation, with his innate first-level innate soul power, he would already be lucky to have reached the Soul Venerable or Soul Sect level.

Without the four powerful soul skills brought by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, his expertise in soul tools would not have reached its current level.

Huo Yuhao simply couldn't imagine how difficult his cultivation would have been, or how weak his strength would have been, without the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. And now, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was actually saying such a thing?

Is it leaving?

"I told you long ago that I merged into your body so that you could become the number one genius in Douluo Continent, so that you could lead me to godhood and immortality, not so that you could be here indulging in a love game and wallowing in sorrow." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone was cold, and the last three seals surrounding her body began to fluctuate up and down.

"Although I wasted a lot of time on you, I have finally gained some experience. I believe my next host will be even better than you. I will also learn from the lessons I learned from you, so that my next host will have a greater chance of becoming a god."

"As for the power I've given you... I'll take what I can, and what I can't take, consider it rent for this period of time."

"Let's... part ways amicably."

After all, they had been a host for nearly ten years, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm only began to gather its power after speaking frankly with its host.

After the three suns merged into the body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a large amount of golden light surged out from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, eventually converging into a fourth sun, which then flew back into its body.

Huo Yuhao, already severely injured and weak, stumbled and collapsed to the ground, convulsing, as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued to drain his power. His strength was constantly draining away, and he felt an excruciating pain as if his soul was being torn apart, causing him to scream in agony as he lay on the ground.

Seven spirit rings—one white, five black, and one red—appeared uncontrollably on Huo Yuhao.

The white spirit ring that was ranked first suddenly lost its inconspicuous white color and gradually emitted a golden light. Finally, it completely turned into a golden million-year spirit ring, and then shattered instantly under the control of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!

The spirit ring is the source of power for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Since it wants to break away from Huo Yuhao, the spirit ring naturally needs to be taken back.

Not only that, Huo Yuhao's other spirit rings were also flickering uncertainly. First was the blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring, which gradually deepened in color as it flickered, and finally dropped from 100,000 years to become a 10,000-year spirit ring.

The age of the ring kept decreasing, dropping from 100,000 years to an 80,000-year soul ring.

After all, there was some loss involved. The power of those ten thousand years had long been completely absorbed by Huo Yuhao, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't extract it back.

The other spirit rings were also flashing, but the power that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could draw back from these spirit rings was even less. Only the second and third spirit rings were drawn back to the thousand-year level, while the other spirit rings remained at the ten-thousand-year level.

However, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is not without its advantages.

The excruciating pain that Huo Yuhao felt, as if it were tearing his soul apart, was a manifestation of the collapse of his second martial soul. His Titan Snow Demon martial soul originated from the soulless ice-attribute martial soul bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

The original martial soul had no form; the Titan Snow Demon was added later.

As for the Titan Snow Demon martial soul, when the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm reclaims this soulless ice-attribute martial soul, it will naturally become a supplement for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and be completely extracted by it.

The ten-thousand-year soul ring attached to the Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul naturally became the power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

At this point, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm still retains the power of five seals that have stood for 100,000 years.

Feeling the five seals stored within its body, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's expression was grim. If only it had asked Huo Yuhao to add a few more high-age spirit rings to the Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul, at least it could have minimized its losses. If the spirit rings were of high enough quality, it might have even been able to recover some of its losses.

Although the process of extracting the source will cause Huo Yuhao more pain, the final damage will be the same.

Since your martial soul will shatter and your origin will be lost no matter what you do, why don't you create more benefits for me?

I've already helped you so much, so just bear with the pain. You should be content!

After gathering its essence, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm transformed into a golden light and shot out from between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows. This action completely crushed Huo Yuhao.

Two lines of bloody tears slowly flowed down Huo Yuhao's face. His originally strong and tall body, amplified by the Titan bloodline, was shrinking at a visible speed, becoming thin and short again.

Without giving Huo Yuhao, who was almost crippled, a second glance, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm transformed into a golden light and vanished into the sky in an instant.
