Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"It seems to be sealed." Qiu'er frowned and tried several more times, but the result was the same—the seal was like a transparent wall, separating her from the spring.

Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao also tried their methods. The latter even attempted to use necromancy to corrode the seal, but it didn't even cause a ripple. Neither soul power nor pure physical attacks had any effect on the seal.

"It can't be opened." Qiu'er's voice revealed a hint of anxiety and helplessness. "The power level of this seal is too high. I'm afraid even a Limit Douluo might not be able to break it."

Huo Yuhao was anxious. Their purpose in coming here was to seek the help of the ruler who could command the heavens, but if they couldn't even meet him, then all their efforts would be in vain. Shrek City was still under attack from the beast tide, and people were dying every second. Every second he lingered here meant that another comrade might fall on the city walls.

"What do we do?" His voice sounded somewhat distorted underwater, but the urgency was clearly discernible. "The academy is still waiting for us! We must see that ruler as soon as possible! Qiu'er, you must have a way, right? You know this place best, you must have a way!"

Qiu'er fell silent. A faint light flickered in her eyes, as if she were hesitating about something. After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice even lower than before:

"The Sovereign seems to be in a state of slumber for some reason. I remember Di Tian once said that in order to awaken the Sovereign, in addition to it contacting us personally, we would need to have a sufficiently strong mental power."

She raised her head, her golden eyes staring directly at Huo Yuhao, her gaze carrying a deeper meaning that Huo Yuhao couldn't quite understand:

"When you first met me in the Star Dou Great Forest, didn't you unleash an extremely powerful spiritual force in an attempt to forcibly bind your fate to mine? The intensity of that spiritual force shocked even me. Perhaps, this method might work."

"Qiu'er, you mean..." Huo Yuhao's voice trembled slightly.

“That spiritual power is immense, so immense that even Di Tian might not be able to surpass you in terms of pure spiritual power at that time.” Qiu’er looked at Huo Yuhao earnestly. “Perhaps, this method can awaken the Sovereign. You just need to release that spiritual power and let the Sovereign inside the seal sense it, and it will naturally respond.”

However, upon hearing her words, Huo Yuhao's face, which had been quite rosy from being nourished by the immense life force of the Lake of Life, instantly lost all color.

The immense spiritual power, powerful enough to influence destiny itself, was the power emanating from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!

Yes, Tianmeng could certainly elicit a response from that ruler. This was because Tianmeng had once told him that the vast majority of its million-year cultivation energy had been sacrificed by Di Tian to the sleeping ruler through some means.

That spiritual energy was a vital source of power for the sovereign to slumber. If he could sense that familiar aura again, the sovereign would surely be awakened.

But if Tianmeng's existence is exposed, can it still survive?

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was "food" raised by Emperor Tian. Emperor Tian kept it deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, and every once in a while, he would extract the life energy condensed in its body to supply the sleeping ruler.

How will that ruler treat Tianmeng? How will Ditian deal with him?

Huo Yuhao's heart was in turmoil. His hands were trembling, and his whole body was shaking slightly.

"Yuhao?" Wang Dong'er noticed his unusual behavior and looked at him with concern.

"Yuhao." Qiu'er's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of confusion. "What are you hesitating about? Releasing your spiritual power isn't dangerous. You just need to activate that power; you don't need to release it completely. Just let the sovereign within the seal sense it. The sovereign is great and wise; nothing will happen."

No, it's not possible.

Even Wang Dong'er chimed in, "Yes, Yuhao, the academy is still waiting for us. If you have a way, no matter how difficult it is, you have to try."

Huo Yuhao's fingers trembled slightly in the lake water. He couldn't tell whether it was because of the pressure of the lake water or because his heart was being torn apart by forces from two directions at the same time.

During his weakest years, it was Brother Tianmeng who used his own essence to help him transform his physique, help him fuse with the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, and help him find a way to survive in countless life-or-death situations. That was one of the most important bonds in his life.

But what about the academy? The academy is waiting for him too. Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Xiao Xiao—everyone from the Tang Sect is waiting on the city walls. Elder Xuan is dead, Pavilion Master Yan and Elder Song are both seriously injured, and Teacher Xian Lin'er may have already fallen. Only a few lines of defense remain burning in Shrek City. If he doesn't awaken that ruler, Di Tian will massacre the city.

On one side was Tianmeng's life and death, and on the other side were the lives and safety of the academy's teachers and classmates. He was trapped in the middle, as if being torn apart by two enormous forces at the same time, as if his whole body was about to be ripped apart.

"Yuhao?" Wang Dong'er called out again when she saw that he remained silent for a long time.

Huo Yuhao looked up at her.

Wang Dong'er's eyes were clear as water, filled with trust and encouragement for him.

Qiu'er stood to the side, also watching him. Her golden eyes revealed little emotion, like two unfathomable golden pools.

When Huo Yuhao met her gaze, he felt a momentary lapse in consciousness, as if something was gently pushing his thoughts, guiding him in a certain direction.

Countless images flashed through his mind—his surprise and excitement when he first spoke with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the vow he made for his mother in the far north, fighting alongside him in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the wisdom that guided him in the Soul Master Competition… that lazy voice, that guy who always called himself “brother,” that partner who chose him when he was at his weakest and never gave up on him.

Now, he is about to personally push that trust into the fire.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. His lips moved, silently uttering three words.

I am sorry.

A faint light and shadow appeared in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, then rose into the air; this figure was himself.

A strange golden mist began to rise from this light and shadow—no, it wasn't mist, it was flames. Burning flames!

The flames spread wildly along the boundaries of the Sea of ​​Spirit, turning that vast spiritual world into a blazing inferno.

Stimulated by this power, a golden cocoon suddenly cracked open deep within his spiritual sea.

The moment the cocoon cracked open, an indescribable torrent of spiritual energy surged out from the crack, dyeing Huo Yuhao's entire spiritual sea a dazzling gold.

"Hey Bingbing...why is it a little hot?"

A lazy voice came from the cocoon.

Blood seeped from Huo Yuhao's seven orifices at the same time, and the blood dissolved in the lake water, staining his face a blurry red.

"Yuhao!" Wang Dong'er exclaimed.

Qiu'er also looked anxious, but her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look that was completely different from usual.

"What the hell! Huo Yuhao, what are you doing?!" Tianmeng Bingcan's voice suddenly rose, her laziness instantly turning into panic and anger. "Are you crazy! You're actually burning your own spiritual sea! Stop it right now! Are you out of your mind?!"

Its spiritual energy was fluctuating violently! The cracks on the cocoon grew larger and larger, and golden light poured out from the cracks, illuminating the entire sea of ​​spirit.

The mirror-like surface at the bottom of the lake suddenly trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the spring. Silver light gushed out from the cracks, illuminating the entire lake bottom as bright as day.

An indescribable aura surged from the spring, ancient and majestic, carrying an indifference that transcended all things.

In the next instant, the world turned upside down.

No one could see what it was. They only felt the entire space suddenly flip upside down, and their sense of direction—up, down, left, right, front, and back—was completely disrupted in an instant.

When the world returned to normal, they were no longer in the Lake of Life.

Or rather, they went even deeper into the Lake of Life.

Beneath their feet lay a silvery-white void, while above their heads lay a lake as clear as a mirror, held aloft by some unseen force, like a piece of jade hanging upside down.

At the very center of all this, directly in front of them, was a crack.

The crack hovered in the void, stretching from the ground to the sky. Its edges had extremely regular patterns and trembled slightly.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm finally awoke from the shock of Huo Yuhao burning his spiritual sea, and a chill ran through it. Sensing the external environment and the immense life force that shared a common origin, it instantly understood where it was.

A chill suddenly ran through my heart.

It suddenly turned to Huo Yuhao, its spiritual power contracting violently within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, yet it revealed a pair of small eyes that stared intently at him.

"Huo Yuhao—do you know what you're doing?!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Tianmeng."

Huo Yuhao did not respond further. He used the essence of his soul as fuel to unleash an even greater spiritual power, which surged toward the crack.

Golden light surged like a tide, boundless and overwhelming.

He cried out with his spiritual power:

"wake up--!"

"Stop!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm roared, trying to forcibly cut off Huo Yuhao's mental energy output, but it had just been forcibly awakened and was unable to stop its host's actions.

Just then, the crack slowly opened.

The darkness suddenly gained depth, layers, and—

One eye.

It was an unimaginably enormous, vertical purple pupil. Like a symphony of countless shades of purple, it intertwined layer upon layer, flowing slowly across the surface of the pupil, like a nebula swirling in the universe.

Huo Yuhao felt a chill in his mind, his soul was completely frozen in that instant, the burning pain in his mental sea suddenly subsided, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged into his heart.

This, this is...

A dragon?

Silver Dragon!

Chapter 386 Silver Dragon King VS Bull Titan

In that instant when the purple eyes shone brightly, the world trembled, faintly rippling with a seven-colored halo. As the seven-colored halo swirled, a scene that could only be described as a miracle appeared right before Huo Yuhao and the others.

A vast expanse of silver light stretched endlessly, and an unimaginably enormous dragon head slowly rose.

Its entire body is a brilliant silver, its surface covered with hexagonal silver scales. The edges of each scale shimmer with a seven-colored halo, and its dragon horns meander upwards, branching out into countless fine branches like two silver-white coral trees, yet they are extremely exquisite. The tips of the horns shimmer with starlight, carrying an unparalleled and powerful oppressive force that makes all living beings kneel in worship.

Only her head and a small section of her neck were visible, yet they already filled almost half the space. Her true body was probably over a thousand feet long.

Huo Yuhao had seen Kong Tianxu's Silver Dragon Martial Soul True Form, and he could tell that it was a real silver dragon.

As a dragon representing the highest and strongest bloodline in the soul beast world, the first impression she gave Huo Yuhao was completely different from that of Kong Tianxu. It was not powerful, but beautiful, noble and majestic, and even stunningly beautiful.

It was as if the Creator had taken favoritism to the extreme when creating her body—yes, it was her—every inch of her long dragon neck was meticulously sculpted to perfection, and the whole body was filled with a harmonious and graceful rhythm.

The delicate, fragile beauty that was unintentionally revealed made Huo Yuhao unwilling, from the depths of his soul, to imagine her as a gender other than female, or to see her as a pure soul beast.

But the next moment, the bone-chilling sensation in his spiritual sea spread throughout his body, and the flames that even a Limit Douluo would be helpless against were extinguished by this faint glance.

It was also on the verge of collapse.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm fell silent. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er collapsed to the ground, horrified.

What powerful mental strength! Huo Yuhao is now definitely a semi-high-level Soul Master who has seen the world. His mental strength far surpasses his peers. Although he has not yet comprehended the profound mystery of the Boundless Sea, he has approached the bottleneck of the tangible yet intangible level, making him comparable to a Title Douluo in terms of level.

But he had never heard of such terrifying spiritual power.

If Huo Yuhao's own spiritual power was a vast lake, then Kong Tianxu, the strongest spiritual power expert he had ever seen, was an ocean. According to Electrolux, Kong Tianxu had already reached the peak of tangible spiritual power, and even faintly surpassed it, but what Huo Yuhao had just sensed was an entire, magnificent, and boundless galaxy!

He even surpassed his demigod teacher, Electrox.

His thoughts returned to clarity, and all the information connected in Huo Yuhao's mind into a single thread.

The ruler of all soul beasts, surpassing even the Emperor Heaven, possessing unparalleled spiritual power, and also a silver dragon...

It seems that there really was such a powerful being in the history of soul beasts in Douluo Continent.

"Silver Dragon King..." He and Wang Dong'er murmured at the same time, their hearts filled with turbulent waves.

The dragon eyes first lit up when they stared at Huo Yuhao's head, as if they had discovered some extremely delicious food, before turning to Qiu'er, the pupils narrowing slightly as if they were trying to identify something.

Qiu'er reacted very quickly at this moment. Her face showed a moment of confusion and hesitation, and then she immediately knelt down on one knee. The absent-minded look quickly disappeared, but the shock remained.

Her right hand rested on her left chest, and her head was bowed deeply.

"The auspicious beast of the Starry Sky Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, pays homage to me, the supreme, supreme, and most magnificent eternal ruler."
