Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 51 Fusion, The Mystery of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm

Several days later, in the area of ​​the wind baboon habitat on the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest.

The morning mist had not completely dissipated, and the damp air was filled with the pungent smell of decaying leaves and earth.

Lin Yao stepped on the ferns that reached above his ankles, his boots making a soft "crunching" sound as they rolled over the dead branches.

He had been lingering here for several days, his eyes constantly scanning the dense canopy and bushes ahead with vigilance.

The trees in this area were thicker than those in other parts of the surrounding area, with vines as thick as bowls twining around the trunks and climbing upwards. The emerald green leaves were still covered with morning dew, which would fall with a rustling sound when the wind blew, hitting Lin Yao's shoulders.

He raised his hand to wipe the water droplets off his sleeve, his fingertips touching the taut muscles beneath the fabric.

Even though he had been staying on the outskirts for many days, he still dared not let his guard down. After all, this was an era in which the density of soul beasts far exceeded that of ten thousand years ago due to the existence of the Emperor Beast.

Sure enough, not long after, a series of rapid noises suddenly came from the bushes on the left.

Accompanied by a deep roar, a century-old soul beast, the "Black-striped Bear," with a body entirely brown and black and a shoulder height of nearly two meters, rushed out of the forest.

Foul-smelling saliva dripped from its sharp fangs, and its murky eyes stared intently at Lin Yao.

Lin Yao paused slightly, his right hand unconsciously clenching into a fist, his knuckles turning white.

In the past, he would have needed to put in some effort to deal with a hundred-year-old soul beast, but now that his soul power has surged, he only needs to concentrate, and a faint purple soul power fluctuation will slowly spread out around him.

The black-striped bear seemed to sense the danger, its roars becoming more urgent, yet it hesitated to advance.

Lin Yao exhaled softly, took a half step forward with his left foot, and instantly concentrated his soul power into his right fist. Just as he was about to make a move, the black-striped bear seemed to be frightened by something, turned around abruptly, and scrambled into the depths of the dense forest.

Lin Yao withdrew his fist, his brows furrowing slightly.

Similar situations have been common in recent days. The number of hundred-year-old and even thousand-year-old soul beasts on the outskirts is astonishing. The black-striped bear from earlier was just one of them.

He looked down at his palms, where the warmth of his soul power still lingered.

If it weren't for the improvement in strength, it would be a pipe dream to stay in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest for so long with just the previous cultivation level.

Even though dealing with the soul beasts was relatively easy, Lin Yao's mind remained tense.

He leaned against a thick, ancient tree, took out a piece of dry food from his pocket, and slowly chewed it, his eyes never leaving his surroundings.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

A gust of wind blew by, rustling the leaves, but Lin Yao suddenly looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

I only relaxed a little after confirming that it was just the wind blowing the leaves.

He wasn't afraid of these ordinary soul beasts, but rather of the unexpected situations.

For example, the auspicious beasts that like to come out to hunt for food in the original work—once such beings appear, they are definitely beyond his current ability to deal with.

Or perhaps it's those old sixth-tier spirit beasts who like to "fish" in the outer areas; they often hide in the shadows and launch attacks when people are not paying attention.

Even more dangerous are other Soul Masters. Compared to Soul Beasts, Soul Masters with ulterior motives are often more difficult to deal with.

Lin Yao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his tense nerves.

His martial soul is the Soul Extinction Spear, which has its own mental attribute. His mental strength is already stronger than that of other soul masters of the same level. In addition, after connecting to other worlds, his mental strength far surpasses that of those top geniuses of the same level who specialize in the mental attribute path.

Even so, the constant vigilance he had maintained over the past few days had left him feeling somewhat tired, with a slight throbbing in his temples.

He leaned against the tree trunk, his mind beginning to ponder: Had he inadvertently missed out on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is a million-year-old soul beast with terrifying spiritual power. If it doesn't want to be discovered, it has no way of noticing, let alone resisting.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

He raised his hand to look at the simple bracelet made of animal hide on his wrist, which had several scratches engraved on it.

This is what he uses to keep track of time; he has already carved ten lines on it, which means he has been here for ten days.

With the time for Shrek Academy's enrollment period drawing ever closer, he couldn't help but wonder if he should leave this place, stop wasting time, and head straight to Shrek Academy.

In the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, as a native of the original Douluo Continent region, Shrek Academy is undoubtedly his best choice.

There, he not only has the resources necessary for early growth, but also strong protection, which can help him avoid many detours in his growth process.

Of course, the Sun Moon Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire is no less impressive.

However, without the help of an established family like the Hongchen family to invest, his current identity would make his future uncertain. Even if he successfully joined the academy, he would have to go through countless trials to showcase his talent and receive further training.

Lin Yao bit his lower lip and brushed the crumbs of dry rations from his hand.

He was well aware that the risks of going to the Sun Moon Royal Academy were ten times greater than those of searching for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Star Dou Great Forest.

More than a hundred times.

He didn't need to put himself in unknown dangers. Besides, he was confident in himself and believed that as long as he grew steadily, he would eventually get what he wanted.

As for Shrek Academy, although there are many things he disagrees with now, he has an idea in his mind.

Once I become the master of Shrek Academy, everything can change, and I can even use it as seed money to build—

Thinking this, Lin Yao opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.

Just as I was about to get up, I planned to wait two more days. If I still hadn't found the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, I would head to Shrek Academy.

But at that moment, Lin Yao suddenly froze, as an unimaginably vast spiritual force enveloped him without warning.

That spiritual power was like a vast ocean, instantly breaking through the defenses in his mind, as if it were made of paper, and directly penetrating into his mind.

Lin Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and as soon as the light focused, he had a guess in his mind, but he did not place all his hopes on this guess.

He suddenly stood up straight, placed his left hand aside, and instantly raised his right hand, condensing pale purple soul power in his palm.

With a sharp whooshing sound, a long spear, entirely silver-white with a purplish-black tip, appeared in his hand.

It was his martial spirit, the Soul-Destroying Spear.

He gripped the gun in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, his body leaning slightly forward in a defensive stance. Zi Guang warily scanned his surroundings, trying to find the source of his mental energy.

Just then, a voice filled with urgency and surprise suddenly rang in his mind: "A second-ring quasi-Soul Master, not a pure mental type, but a powerful top-tier weapon spirit with mental attributes."

What's most surprising is that his spirit is even stronger than that of a Soul King who specializes in the spiritual path. He's a top-tier genius! I've struck gold, you're the one, bro!

The voice carried a hint of excitement, as if emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally being released.

Immediately afterward, another voice rang out, its tone full of relief: "My luck has turned around! I've had bad luck for half my life, but this time I escaped with everything I had, and I'm so lucky! This is wonderful!"

At the same time, Lin Shu suddenly felt a chill from the ground beneath his feet. The chill spread upwards from the soles of his shoes and instantly permeated his entire body.

The surrounding temperature was also dropping rapidly. The air, which had been warm just moments before, now seemed to have frozen, and his breath turned into white mist.

He looked down at the ground and saw that tiny cracks were appearing in the soil beneath his feet. The cracks widened rapidly at a visible speed, and the soil continued to collapse downwards, soon forming a large pit about three meters in diameter.

Immediately afterwards, a golden-white light flashed in the pit, and a figure leaped out of the pit, bringing with it a chilling aura, and landed not far in front of Lin Yao.

Lin Yao gripped the Soul-Destroying Spear tightly, his gaze fixed on the figure.

It was a huge creature, estimated to be over seven meters long, with a white jade-like body that was crystal clear, as if it were carved from the finest white jade.

It was surrounded by pale blue soul power fluctuations, and its surface was also covered with a faint halo, making it look like a silkworm magnified countless times.

It had a round, chubby head with a pair of glittering golden eyes, like two pure golden gems, curiously sizing up Lin Yao.

What is most eye-catching are the ten golden patterns wrapped around its body.

The gold patterns stood out brilliantly against the white jade-colored body, attracting Lin Yao's attention.

"The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?!"

Lin Yao's voice trembled slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that just when he was about to give up, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would actually come knocking on his door.

An unexpected sense of joy rose from the bottom of his heart. He gripped the Soul-Destroying Spear with even greater force, his knuckles turning white from the exertion, and the spear even trembled slightly.

The greatest reward for the least effort—that's probably how Lin Yao feels right now.

He originally had only a less than 10% chance of success, and spent more than ten days waiting here for this million-year-old soul beast. He never expected that he would actually get it, and even break the inertia of the plot.

Lin Yao couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, I had made thorough preparations in all aspects and adhered to the idea of ​​"doing my best and leaving the rest to fate," so I did not miss the best time.

They also had the patience to stay here for so many days, so as not to miss the greatest opportunity in the early stages of the Peerless Tang Sect world.

Just as Lin Yao was overjoyed, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's small golden eyes were also carefully observing him.

It swayed its round body slightly, its gaze sweeping from Lin Yao's face to the Soul-Destroying Spear in his hand, and then to the soul power flowing around him, its excitement and joy growing stronger.

"You little rascal, the more I observe you, the more I realize you have boundless potential!"

The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang in Lin Yao's mind again, full of admiration.

"A powerful physique, abundant and refined soul power, and such strong mental strength—you don't seem like a quasi-Soul Master at all. And judging by your age, you're probably not even twelve years old yet! Among human Soul Masters, you are definitely a top-tier genius!"

It shook its head, its golden eyes brimming with excitement: "I've had bad luck for half my life, but finally my luck has turned! My talent is perfect, my physical body is powerful, and my foundation is so deep that it can completely withstand more of my primordial power. This is simply the perfect start, the most perfect start to my god-making plan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten golden halos on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body suddenly began to pulse rapidly, their light growing brighter and brighter, dyeing the surrounding area with a layer of gold.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of brilliant golden light separated from its body. The light was dazzling but not blinding, and contained an extremely large amount of energy.

The true form of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was reduced to a pale golden shell, appearing somewhat ethereal.

Lin Yao knew that the brilliant golden light was the original power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

From the moment it chose to separate its primordial power, it had no room to retreat; it could only move forward, either succeeding or dying.

But Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not hesitate at all. In its view, if it missed Lin Yao as the best choice, it would probably never find such a suitable person again.

Its lowest hope was simply to take advantage of this chaos to find a spirit master with a spirit-type martial soul and escape its predicament.

But now that Lin Yao has appeared, it has chosen to go all in without hesitation.

The brilliant golden light, carrying powerful spiritual and soul energy fluctuations, slowly drifted towards Lin Yao.

This power was so strong that it was beyond the ability of an ordinary soul master to resist, but Lin Yao not only did not resist it, but also took the initiative to relax his body.

He knew this was a great opportunity for him.

Even if there was a slight possibility of resistance from the ultimate soul-destroying power within the Soul-Destroying Spear, he wouldn't do something so unnecessary.

As the two rushed towards each other, the golden light successfully merged into Lin Yao's body.

Instantly, a powerful spiritual and soul force spread throughout his body.

At the same time, an extreme icy power spread outward from his body.

The icy power seemed to freeze space itself. Lin Yao felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred under the influence of this power, and his eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

But the changes continue.

After the brilliant golden light merged into Lin Yao's body, it instantly transformed into ten golden halos that surrounded him. Then, they gradually flowed into his body, beginning to strengthen him.

As the strengthening and fusion continued, an invisible yet vast and astonishing spiritual force rapidly spread outwards from Lin Yao's center.

This spiritual power was extremely terrifying, and almost instantly it enveloped an area of ​​hundreds of miles in radius.

However, it did not exhibit any destructive power; it merely rendered all creatures within its range with mental strength weaker than its own incapable of thinking for a short period of time.

Whether it was the birds flying in the forest or the spirit beasts hiding in the grass, they all froze in place, motionless.

The consciousness of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm attached itself to the source power and felt the process of merging with Lin Yao. It was increasingly shocked: "The more it merges, the more I feel that this kid's talent is frighteningly high, far more terrifying than he has shown."

But why are his first and second spirit rings only at the hundred-year level? That shouldn't be the case.

"Given his current physical condition, he could easily attempt to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring as his third spirit ring, so his second spirit ring shouldn't just be an ordinary eight-hundred-year one, right?"

It shook its illusory body, trying to probe Lin Yao's memories and figure out what was going on, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not see any of Lin Yao's experiences.

Tianmeng Bingcan's doubts deepened: "That's not right. With the powerful spiritual strength I've cultivated over millions of years of soul power, how could I not detect the memories of a quasi-Soul Venerable?"

Even if this kid is incredibly talented, he shouldn't be this ridiculously gifted, right? What's going on?

At this moment, in Lin Yao's spiritual sea, his spiritual body was in the central area, his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged and suspended in mid-air.

At his knees, the Soul-Destroying Spear hovered silently, its shaft shimmering with a purplish-black light, appearing mysterious and powerful.

If the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could perceive the full picture of Lin Yao's spiritual sea, it would be even more shocked.

Below Lin Yao's spiritual body, there was a somewhat illusory throne floating.

The throne depicts a scene of stardust, with starlight swirling around it. Lin Yao's spirit is sitting steadily on this star throne.

But Tianmeng Ice Silkworm not only couldn't detect the existence of this throne, it also had absolute confidence in its mental power, firmly believing that nothing could conceal its detection.

Therefore, what it cared about most at this moment was that it could not explore Lin Yao's memories. The doubts in its heart kept surging like a tide, but it could not find the answer.
