Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

Moreover, the other party's little scheme is ultimately based on helping him.

The preceding nonsense would only have fueled Hyotei's anger, but these heartfelt words made her fall silent for a moment.

Because Hyotei is well aware of the situation they are currently facing.

If Tianmeng doesn't return, given that Xue Nu is currently struggling to take care of herself, she may truly face destruction.

Based on what she was saying, even Hyotei didn't realize that she herself actually felt something for this insect that she only considered food.

Such self-care caused a peculiar emotional fluctuation.

After a long while, Hyotei's icy voice rang out again.

“Tianmeng, you should know very well that for me, or rather for our entire clan, you Ice Silkworms are just food, and the same is true for most of the powerful soul beasts in the far north. Among them, you are our Ice Jade Scorpion’s favorite food, and we are your undisputed natural enemy.”

"So what if we're natural enemies? My heart will only beat for you; it was destined from the very first moment we met."

Tenmeng's calm smile and words, after a long while, actually softened Hyotei's tone considerably.

However, his tone was still full of disdain.

"However, you are not qualified to like me, but I am somewhat moved that you would come back to die. After I devour you, I will be able to survive this or even the fifth great calamity. This can be considered as us achieving fusion. In a sense, congratulations. I am somewhat moved by you. Your existence can be considered complete, right?"

Tianmeng seemed to be used to such rhetoric, and even couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Hyotei, that's why you're still single. Well, to be precise, it seems like it's because you fell in love with Yukiteri, but she only sees you as a sister, so you can only continue to hold onto that thought."

Even while inside Huo Yuhao's body, Tianmeng couldn't help but cause some disturbances, and she learned a bit about things from his past life. At this moment, she spoke with a confident tone, teasing him.

This statement directly hit the most untouchable spot in Hyotei's heart.

The dark green sky instantly turned black, and at the same time, murderous intent was palpable.

"Tianmeng, your willingness to die has moved me. I wanted you to die a little more easily. Now, I will make you wish you were dead!"

It was Tianmeng's words that completely enraged Bingdi. Bingdi, who was originally supposed to appear later, appeared almost instantly.

Even though he had met her in his previous life, Huo Yuhao still felt somewhat emotional when he saw Ice Emperor again.

The Ice Empress was about 1.5 meters long, not even as large as the original form of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Huo Yuhao had made many guesses about the Ice Empress's race, but they were all wrong. The Ice Empress was a scorpion, an extremely beautiful scorpion.

If we were to select the top ten most beautiful and powerful spirit beasts on the continent, Ice Emperor would even rank among the top five in his mind.

Even though she already knew that she might have been with Hyotei in her past life, Tenmu still couldn't help but be infatuated with Hyotei when she saw him again.

"Bingbing, it's been a long time. You're still as beautiful as ever."

Hyotei merely glanced at Tenmu's figure before giving a disdainful smile.

"Tianmeng, using mental power to simulate a figure does indeed fit your methods. But don't forget, that's not enough to let you escape. You're right about one thing: my time is coming to an end. This time, I will stop at nothing to keep you here."

Tianmeng seemed not to hear these words and continued talking to herself.

"Oh my, as expected of my Bingbing, even when she's angry she looks so beautiful. But, Bingbing, you were a little careless after all. Did you think I would show up like this without any preparation?"

Upon hearing this, Hyotei let out a sneer.

"I admit that I am no match for you in terms of mental strength, but you can't turn it into an attack. Even if you can dodge, what can you do?"

"Even if I stand here and let you do what you want, what can you do about it?"

As soon as Bingdi finished speaking, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shake his head, and Tianmeng quickly chuckled before giving his response.

"Really? Bingbing, then you'll have to watch closely!"

Chapter 82: Million-Year-Old Silkworm Molting!

There was nothing they could do; Hyotei's preconceived notions about Tenmu remained unchanged.

Although the other party had a strong ability to escape, before this incident, although she was somewhat reckless, she had also made some backup plans.

Using his own power, he temporarily placed a restriction on this area.

Although it wasn't completely sealed off, it was enough for Tianmeng to sense it immediately and arrive quickly while she was escaping.

The purpose was to completely devour Tianmeng and become stronger.

It was precisely this preconceived notion that led Hyotei to their downfall.

Almost as soon as Tianmeng finished speaking, the phantom rushed towards Bingdi, and the vast spiritual power instantly imprisoned Bingdi.

This caused a hint of surprise to flash in Hyotei's eyes.

You should know that when they last met, although Tianmeng's mental strength was stronger than his, her methods were not offensive and it would have been almost impossible for her to trap him. But now she had managed to do it.

This is also thanks to Tianmeng's spiritual power, which has now stepped halfway into the realm of gods, that is, the half-step Divine Origin Realm.

"Tianmeng, I have to admit I underestimated you, but so what? How long can you hold me captive? One second? Or two seconds? When you return to your body, you will only be weaker than before, and you will ultimately be unable to escape your fate of becoming my food."

Hyotei's gaze was sharp, but also carried a hint of annoyance.

Being trapped by something he considered food was somewhat irritating. However, in his view, Tianmeng's methods were limited to this.

To her surprise, Tianmeng's next move completely stunned her.

A faint white light film silently glided along the ground at that moment, and even the powerful Hyotei did not notice the light film gliding on the snow.

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth at this moment. Although his body had been strengthened by the Gold of Life in advance, the consumption of his soul power by this level of extreme cold was still terrifying.

Fortunately, he carried a baby bottle with him and was constantly replenishing his soul power.

When Hyotei was preparing to unleash her power to break free from the shackles of Tenmeng, she realized that something was wrong.

She felt a sudden tightness throughout her body, and then she suddenly lost the ability to move!

Hyotei was taken aback and immediately began to twist wildly, white and green light flashing intertwined as she unleashed a series of powerful skills at full force, holding nothing back.

But in the next instant, this powerful soul beast, which had roamed the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, truly felt fear, and even its desperate struggles were in vain.

The feeling of being bound was growing stronger at an alarming rate, pressing against its body and making a teeth-grinding groan. No matter how it struggled, the force of the binding continued to increase, until even it could not resist it.

Hyotei, one of the three great kings of the far north, was actually trapped like this.

She herself was even somewhat unwilling to accept this fact; she even doubted whether what was in front of her was truly Tianmeng.

When they last met, Tianmeng was so strong that she could barely handle some of the Ice Jade Scorpions in her clan that were only ten thousand years old.

How could I possibly trap myself like this?!

She couldn't help but start questioning him frantically.

"No! This is absolutely impossible! How could I be trapped by a piece of trash like you? What kind of skill is this? No, no, this is not an ability that an ice silkworm like you can use."

Tianmeng chuckled lightly and then continued her story.

"Ice Emperor, you have underestimated me. I am no longer just close, but have successfully survived my own million-year tribulation and become the first million-year soul beast in history."

Upon receiving this news, Hyotei was momentarily stunned.

A million years—that's an extremely terrifying number, an absolute forbidden zone for soul beasts, even for the former Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

At best, it's similar to Tianmeng before, but the difference in strength between the two is incomparable.

However, even though the other party had once competed with the Sea God for the power of faith, it never challenged the tenth Heavenly Tribulation, which is to become a million-year-old soul beast.

This shows just how difficult it was.

However, Tianmeng has now admitted that he has become a million-year-old soul beast. This made him unable to resist experiencing it himself. He could feel that Tianmeng's soul power had indeed undergone a qualitative change compared to before.

This actually calmed Hyotei down, and he couldn't help but continue to ask questions.

"As expected of the longest-lived soul beast in our far north, but you piece of trash, so what if you've broken through a million years? You could never possess such a skill, otherwise you wouldn't be able to survive."

Hyotei was perfectly aware of why Tenmu had been able to survive. Wasn't it because of her useless body? If Tenmu's strength were proportional to her cultivation level, then the tribulation she faced would have absolutely destroyed her.

This is also a cruel truth about the world of soul beasts.

And what about Tenmu? She simply nodded again, and continued to explain to Hyotei in a gentle voice.

"Oh my, as expected of my Bingbing, you're so clever. You're right, even if I break through to a million years and undergo a qualitative change in my spiritual power, it's almost a pipe dream for me to trap you. But that's based on one point: the me when I was alive. The me now is, in a sense, no longer a living being, so I can use such methods. Bingbing, didn't you notice that what's trapping you gives you a familiar feeling?"

Hearing "Hyotei" in the middle, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Even the longest-lived Tianmeng has died.

This moment seemed to shatter all her expectations.

Of course, don't misunderstand. For Hyotei, Tenmu's act of voluntarily sacrificing herself might move her, but it's impossible for her to have any other feelings towards this insect.

The reason for the expectation of shattering is that Tianmeng is now dead, and his enormous life force is essentially wasted.

He would no longer be able to rely on the Heavenly Dream to escape the next great calamity.

In a sense, I was tricked by the other party.

She was shocked to find herself tricked by a good-for-nothing, but after hearing what he said next, she subconsciously suppressed her anger and carefully considered the situation.

Soon enough, he couldn't help but blurt out the answer.

"This...this thing is the power of your silkworm molting?!"

Tianmeng couldn't help but chuckle and nod.

You should know that its enormous body contains so much of the true essence of silkworm excrement.

The reason why only a portion was left for Huo Yuhao to resist the severe cold here was that most of it was left unused.

Naturally, it was to trap Hyotei, since the molted silkworm of Tianmeng was not the same as its own strength, and it was nourished by so much life force.

Its defensive capabilities have reached an extremely abnormal level.

According to Tianmeng's own estimation, it is at least equivalent to the defensive power of a ferocious beast of 200,000.

Of course, that alone is not enough to trap the Ice Emperor, who is almost 400,000 years away from the Fourth Great Calamity.

Ke Tianmeng, as the owner of the silkworm's molt, knew all too well how to utilize the power of her molt.

Then, the silkworms are forced into a state of being ignited.

That terrifying power, coupled with the spiritual power of Tianmeng at the half-step Divine Origin Realm.

This resulted in even Hyotei being forced to stay trapped by Tenmu.

After realizing this, Hyotei, after a brief silence, couldn't help but look at Tenmu, her tone for the first time devoid of any disdain or urging.

Instead, they were filled with endless confusion.
