Chapter 28: Electrolux
The vast spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm paused slightly as it gazed at the enormous eye before it, which possessed an eerie beauty.
This is by no means a purely spiritual creation; its core fluctuations carry the life imprint unique to soul beasts... Is it the Evil Eye Clan?
Although it had never been to the Demon Forest of Sun and Moon, it had heard of the Evil Eye race.
What alarmed it even more was that the state of this evil eye... was very similar to the wisdom soul ring that it had been studying for a long time.
It is neither a soul ring nor a companion, but a deeper and more peculiar symbiosis and dependence.
It had just declared itself to be an "unprecedented intelligent soul ring," but before it could finish speaking, it encountered another similar existence in the boy's spiritual sea.
It feels like you've just boasted that you'd give someone a unique treasure, only to find that they already have a similar exquisite item on their table.
The million-year-old soul beast's reserve caused an awkward ripple to appear in its surging spiritual energy.
"What...are you?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone was tinged with shock and a hint of barely perceptible annoyance. "How did you get here?!"
Sixteen tentacles behind Little Silver unfurled like a peacock's tail, almost as if boasting, "I... am Lord Yuhao's first soul spirit!"
Soul?
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm subconsciously tried to mobilize its power to read Huo Yuhao's memories and obtain information.
But it was astonishing to discover that the boy's spiritual core was surrounded by a strange and resilient barrier that it could not easily penetrate in its current state!
However, it's easy to tell that the Lord Yuhao mentioned by this evil eye is the boy in front of us.
But what exactly is a soul?
Once the integration process begins, it is like a river flowing into the sea, and it is difficult to reverse.
Its vast spiritual essence continues to flow in, sustaining the fusion process.
The confidence accumulated over millions of years allowed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to quickly adjust, and she immediately adopted the posture of a senior in front of Xiaoyin.
"Little one, have you witnessed my million-year-old heritage?"
Above the Sea of Spirit, golden orbs of light, condensed from spiritual power and containing terrifying energy fluctuations, slowly rotated. These were the million-year-old primordial power sealed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"From now on, follow me, and I guarantee you... uh, I guarantee you'll benefit greatly!"
Little Silver's enormous pupils contracted almost imperceptibly as it sensed the aftershocks emanating from the golden orbs above its head, and it was secretly alarmed.
It thought to itself, "As expected of the legendary million-year-old soul beast that assisted Spirit Ice Douluo in ascending to the divine realm, it is indeed unfathomable."
But on the surface, its cold pupils remained calm, as if it didn't care at all, and it emphasized again: "I am Lord Yuhao's first soul spirit."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was taken aback by this unyielding attitude, and really couldn't understand what this evil eye was so proud of.
But it also realized that trying to put on airs and "establish authority" in front of this evil eye was probably not going to work.
Never mind, business is more important.
Integration has entered its most critical phase.
Huo Yuhao's body trembled slightly, and an indescribable, overwhelming spiritual power silently and powerfully spread out from him!
In an instant, within the Inner Star Dou Great Forest region, which has a diameter of a hundred miles, all things with consciousness or life suddenly stopped thinking.
Within a hundred miles, all was silent, as if time and space had been paused.
Only the most basic physiological activities were mechanically maintained, while the ability to think was completely "covered" by that vast spiritual power.
In this eerie silence where all spirits are rendered speechless and the spiritual realm is absolutely dominated...
"BOOM!!!"
A deep, muffled thunderclap suddenly erupted above the Starry Sky Forest without any warning!
The once clear sky suddenly turned as dark as ink, with rolling leaden clouds gathering from nowhere, hanging low as if to crush this ancient forest.
Then, a terrifying pressure, even stronger than the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power, descended from the sky!
The air instantly became thick and sticky, and an invisible pressure enveloped the surrounding area.
It was as if the entire sky had turned into a heavy block of lead, making one's soul tremble and almost suffocate.
Within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the "competition" between Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Xiao Yin was instantly forgotten.
They all looked up in unison, staring in horror at the terrifying pressure descending from the outside world that froze their very souls.
Under their watchful gaze, a thin, yet extremely refined gray stream of air descended straight down from the gloomy sky, where leaden clouds hung low and thunder rumbled in the distance!
This gray stream of energy, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, went straight into the back of Huo Yuhao's head!
At the same time, a nearly transparent phantom of an old man appeared out of thin air behind Huo Yuhao.
His clothes were simple and his face was obscured, but he exuded a vast and majestic aura that seemed to have stood the test of time and looked down upon the world.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world..."
The aged voice was not loud, but it seemed to resonate deep within the soul, carrying a sense of loneliness and pride that came from understanding life and death and transcending the cycle of reincarnation.
"I never imagined... that a remnant of my soul would survive!"
Before he finished speaking, the blurry phantom flickered like a candle in the wind, then turned into a gray glimmer of light, which suddenly disappeared into the back of Huo Yuhao's head.
Under the gaze of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Xiao Yin, a barely perceptible gray light quietly appeared high in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, and then quickly condensed and settled.
Finally, a tiny bead, no bigger than a soybean and entirely gray, floated there quietly.
It did not emit any powerful energy fluctuations; it simply existed quietly, yet it seemed like a "point" that could devour all light and sound.
Even the surrounding spiritual energy becomes obscure and sluggish when it flows past it, involuntarily detouring around it.
At this moment, Tianmeng Bingcan had a blank expression as if she thought, "There are still experts here." Then, her small eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment, and even a little aggrieved.
"Is it easy for me to find a suitable host? Why are so many people... coming to join in the fun?!"
I thought it was just another spirit neighbor who had moved in before, but how come another "uninvited guest" has flown in from the sky?
Judging from their demeanor, their background is probably no less powerful than mine!
Little Silver's enormous silver eyes were also fixed on the gray bead, and its sixteen spiritual tendrils trembled slightly unconsciously.
Deep within its memory, in the memories of the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, it had no recollection of such a fortuitous encounter!
The overwhelming spiritual energy that covered an area of hundreds of miles receded like a tide, and the stagnant things in the forest quietly resumed their original rustling and flowing.
The frost around Wu Ming and his son Wu Yang melted away, and they couldn't help but shiver. They looked around blankly, completely unaware of the "major event" they had just experienced!
Huo Yuhao had regained control of his body. His expression was normal, as if the terrifying events of the past had never happened. He simply said calmly to the two people behind him, "Continue forward."
He spared a sliver of his attention to carefully survey his surroundings, selecting suitable soul beasts for Wu Yang.
At the same time, he was multitasking, channeling his mental energy into his spiritual sea, which had undergone a complete transformation.
The once relatively empty mental space is now bustling with activity.
A gigantic, eerie yet elegant silver eye floats in the center, with sixteen spiritual tentacles slowly swaying.
High in the sky, an inconspicuous yet impossible-to-ignore gray bead floats silently.
Ten golden orbs, radiating powerful energy fluctuations, orbited around each other in a regular pattern, like miniature suns.
And then there was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, its entire body shimmering and glistening, striving to stand tall and strike a majestic pose.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao's thoughts descend, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately perked up, its body shimmering with platinum light, attempting to create the "unfathomable" aura befitting a million-year-old soul beast.
"Ahem, Xiao Yuhao."
"You are now a second-ring Great Soul Master. I have temporarily sealed my million-year-old source power within your spiritual sea."
"Once your soul power reaches level 30, I will officially become your third soul ring."
"And it's an unprecedented intelligent spirit ring in the history of Douluo Continent!"
