Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 53 The Changes in the Thunderclap and Cloud-Piercing Soul Skill, Tang Ya Beibei

"Xiao Yao, after hearing my story, do you think my experience as a million-year-old soul beast is rich and exciting enough?"

And the two of us, that's really quite a fateful connection. I first came to the Star Dou Great Forest by chance, was trapped for ten thousand years, then escaped at this time, and just happened to bump into you, and finally chose to become your Wisdom Soul Ring.”

Tianmeng Bingcan's voice was full of emotion, and as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but shake the spiritual body she had conjured.

It was a tiny ice silkworm, no bigger than a palm, its entire body shimmering with a lustrous pale blue halo, and even the smallest details on its body were clearly visible.

Right now, it was perched on Lin Yao's shoulder, its round eyes full of excitement, nodding its head as it spoke, just like a child eager for praise.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had already emerged from Lin Yao's sea of ​​consciousness. Even though it had finished telling the story, its emotions had not yet calmed down, and its pale blue spiritual body was gently bouncing on Lin Yao's shoulder.

With each jump, it seemed as if a few wisps of fine ice crystals floated in the surrounding air, landing on Lin Yao's collar and instantly dissipating as a cool breeze.

The afternoon sunlight in the Starry Sky Forest filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled light onto the little ice silkworm, making its glow even softer, and even the surrounding vegetation seemed to be tinged with a faint blue.

"It really is fate."

Lin Yao's voice was clear and bright, as if he had just returned from the Sea of ​​Spirit. He turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on the lively little ice silkworm on his shoulder. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded gently.

His eyes were serious, clearly he had taken Tianmeng Bingcan's words to heart, and his tone was full of agreement.

This emotional value was so substantial that it made Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual body sway even more enthusiastically.

As he spoke, Lin Yao subconsciously raised his hand and gently touched the spiritual body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with his fingertips. He felt a cool sensation on his fingertips, as if he had touched a piece of cool ice crystal, yet it was full of vibrant life force.

At the same time, Lin Yao carefully felt the earth-shaking changes within his body.

The sea of ​​his mind seemed to have expanded several times over, and the previously somewhat loose spiritual energy was now solidified as if it were a tangible substance.

As the energy flows through the meridians, a refreshing feeling permeates the entire body, making one feel as energetic as if just awakened from warm water, even sweeping away the weariness in one's eyes.

You have to understand that during the past ten days or so in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had to be on guard against lurking soul beasts and unknown dangers at all times, and his nerves were constantly on edge.

At night, he could only sleep lightly against the tree trunk, and over time, a lingering weariness always appeared between his brows.

But now, that fatigue seemed to have been swept away by a gust of wind, and even the soul power in my body became more active, running more than twice as smoothly as before.

To his even greater surprise, the two original spirit rings, empowered by the power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, easily completed two leaps.

It leaped from a hundred-year soul ring to a thousand-year one, and then steadily stepped into the realm of ten thousand years.

With a thought, Lin Yao's soul power surged instantly, and two pale black soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, hovering beside him.

The spirit ring was as deep as the starry night sky, with a faint black mist swirling around its edges, exuding an aura of nobility and majesty.

When the breath landed on the surrounding grass, even the blades of grass drooped slightly, as if in awe of this power.

"First Soul Skill, Thunderclap."

Lin Yao murmured softly, recalling the details of the soul skill in his mind.

When he still had a hundred-year-old soul ring, this move "Thunderclap" was his trump card for survival.

When charging forward, his speed can be several times that of his normal burst. When he is at the Great Soul Master level, he can almost kill an ordinary Great Soul Master with one blow.

Among soul skills of the same level, it can definitely be considered a "minor top-tier" skill.

Over the years, he has ventured out into the world and encountered danger several times. He always managed to escape by relying on the explosive speed of "Thunderclap." It is no exaggeration to say that this is his core survival skill.

But now, with the Soul Ring advancing to the ten-thousand-year level, the power of "Thunderclap" has undergone a qualitative change.

Its charging speed can reach twice the speed of sound.

Lin Yao could even imagine that if he used this move on the arena, his figure would be so fast that only a blur remained, while still being able to control it well.

This explosive speed, combined with the corresponding level of nerve sharpness, is in no way inferior to the teleportation skills commonly found in Douluo Continent.

More importantly, as the speed increases, the attack power also skyrockets, making the penetration and defense-breaking effects even more terrifying.

Even against an opponent at the Soul Master level, this strike can tear through their defenses and inflict fatal damage.

He subconsciously raised his right hand, gathering a wisp of soul power in his palm to simulate the charging trajectory of "Thunderclap".

I felt the muscles in my arms tense up, and a powerful force surged through my meridians to my palms. Even the surrounding air seemed to be moved by this force, making a slight whistling sound.

Sunlight fell on the back of his hand, highlighting the clear veins and the surprise in his eyes. This power was much stronger than he had expected.

"Second Soul Skill, Cloud Breaker."

Thinking of this, Lin Yao's gaze fell on the second ten-thousand-year soul ring.

The original effect of this soul skill was already very practical: when used, his martial soul "Soul Extinction Spear" would receive an amazing charging effect, and its sharpness and toughness would be increased by 50%, and his normal attacks would also receive a 50% bonus.

In case of an emergency, they can gather their strength in a very short time and deliver a fatal blow, often resulting in a one-hit kill.

But now, with the Soul Ring advancing to ten thousand years, the effect of "Breaking Through the Clouds" has doubled.

The sharpness, toughness, and normal attack bonus of the Soul-Destroying Spear have all been increased to 200%.

Lin Yao could even feel that the martial soul power connected to the Soul Extinction Spear within his body had become more profound, as if a continuous source of power was nourishing his martial soul.

With a thought, the phantom of the Soul-Destroying Spear appeared in front of him. The spear was silver-white and engraved with fine patterns.

The "Soul-Destroying Power" that was originally only faintly visible at the tip of the spear now had a faint black light flowing through the patterns, like a sleeping beast awakening.

What surprised him even more was that the Soul-Destroying Spear's original power, quality, sharpness and toughness, and even that precious Soul-Breaking Power, all increased significantly under the dual enhancement of the "Connecting All Realms" cheat and the power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

The original Soul-Destroying Spear, with its high-quality martial soul and accompanying mental damage, could only bully Soul Masters with ordinary martial souls at most. It would be difficult to gain an advantage against high-level martial souls, let alone against top-level martial souls.

But now, Lin Yao could clearly feel that the aura of the Soul-Destroying Spear had become even more domineering, and it had the confidence to contend even with top-tier martial souls.

He was even confident that he could now bully Soul Masters who possessed top-tier martial souls.

This change was nothing short of earth-shattering. Lin Yao clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and a surge of pride welled up within him.

If he were to fuse with a martial soul now and advance to the Soul Venerable realm, he even felt that he could challenge opponents at the Soul King level.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm truly lives up to its reputation as a terrifying opportunity in the world of Peerless, capable of transforming ordinary Soul Masters.

This improvement in strength is even more terrifying than the years of hard training he has undergone.

"With the cheat code that connects to all the worlds, plus the boost from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and the opportunities that may come later—"

Lin Yao looked at the two ten-thousand-year soul rings floating in front of him, his eyes becoming increasingly determined.

"Perhaps we can actually switch sides and knock that 'peeping king' from the heavens before he can react!"

As Lin Yao thought this, the sunlight fell on his face, reflecting his tall and straight figure. Even the surrounding plants seemed to be infected by his confidence, swaying gently.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm perched on his shoulder, looking at Lin Yao who exuded confidence, shaking its head, its pale blue halo shimmering, its eyes full of admiration.

Immediately, Lin Yao's gaze fell on the ground not far ahead.

There lay a golden shell, its surface gleaming with a soft luster, still bearing the aura of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's original power. It was the remains left behind by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm after it had integrated its original power into his body.

The outer shell looked ordinary, like a common golden crystal, but Lin Yao could sense that it contained extremely powerful energy.

Even just by placing it there, the surrounding air seemed to solidify, and even the growth of plants slowed down.

"It can only be said that once power reaches a certain level, many things will undergo a qualitative change."

Lin Yao squatted down and gently brushed his fingertips across the surface of the golden remains. He felt a warm sensation on his fingertips, as if he had touched a precious jade containing life.

"Even though the upper limit of Douluo Continent is lower than that of those powerful fantasy worlds, the bodies left behind by million-year-old soul beasts, which stand at the pinnacle of the continent, still possess extremely strong power."

He recalled what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had said before: this remains had easily trapped the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, whose strength was no less than that of a level 97 or even level 98 Super Douluo.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao felt even more moved. The power of a million-year-old soul beast was indeed incomparable to that of an ordinary soul beast.

"My remains may look ordinary, but they possess immense power. I'm sure they'll be of great help to you soon."

Seeing Lin Yao examining the remains, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly explained, her voice tinged with pride.

But as he spoke, his tone became cautious again, and even his spiritual body shrank slightly.

"Also—just like we agreed before, don't fuse this soul ring with me yet."

Let me prepare a bit more, strengthen your physical body, and then prepare a great opportunity for you.

"We'll merge together then, so please don't be in a hurry, Yao."

Tianmeng Bingcan was actually a little apprehensive.

It knows how strong a Soul Master's desire is to absorb Soul Rings and improve their strength once they encounter a bottleneck.

Although it had helped Lin Yao upgrade his two soul rings to the ten-thousand-year level, that was completely different from absorbing its million-year soul ring.

Moreover, it is uncertain whether things will develop according to its plan.

Therefore, when he said this, his tone was inevitably a little ambiguous, and his eyes were filled with worry, for fear that Lin Yao would be unhappy.

Seeing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's cautious demeanor, Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh.

He had already guessed what the "great opportunity" was from the other party's words. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion from the far north.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm clearly wanted him to absorb both his own and Ice Emperor's soul rings simultaneously, so that he could exert the greatest effect.

Lin Yao reached out and gently touched the spirit body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, his tone gentle: "You were able to easily raise my hundred-year soul ring to the ten-thousand-year realm, this help is already incredible enough. I'll listen to you, there's no rush."

Upon hearing this, the spirit form of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was visibly stunned for a moment, then swayed even more vigorously, its pale blue aura brightening slightly, its voice filled with emotion: "Xiao Yao, you're so kind—"

Having resolved her concerns, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm returned to its previous activity level.

It bounced on Lin Yao's shoulder, occasionally leaning close to his ear to chatter about its past experiences of wandering and drifting at sea.

As Lin Yao listened, he packed his things, preparing to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

He had spent many days in this forest, and now that his strength had greatly increased, it was time for him to go out and see the outside world.

However, thinking about this, Lin Yao still felt a little regretful:

Unlike Huo Yuhao in the original story, who got the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and then "bought one, got one free," he didn't encounter the demigod Ilex from the Divine Seal World, who had transformed from a child of light into a necromantic calamity.

If he could get Electrolux's help, he might have another path to development, and his potential might even reach a new level.

"Forget it, you can't force fate."

Lin Yao shook his head, suppressing his regret, and played with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm for a while longer.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm would use its spiritual power to condense tiny ice flowers, which would then fall onto Lin Yao's hair.

Lin Yao would pick a brightly colored wildflower and hand it to the spirit body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, watching it rub its little head against the petals and laugh like a child.

After playing around for a while, Tianmeng Bingcan's voice suddenly became serious: "Xiao Yao, I need to prepare some things first. Once you leave the Star Dou Great Forest, just head north. I'll contact you then."

After saying that, its spiritual body swayed slightly, then transformed into a wisp of pale blue light, which entered Lin Yao's spiritual sea and fell into silence.

Lin Yao touched his shoulder, where the cool touch of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm still seemed to linger. He looked up at the sky.

The afternoon sun was already setting in the west, and the dappled sunlight filtering through the tree canopy had become longer. The birdsong around them gradually became sparse, and only the rustling of the wind through the leaves was particularly clear in the quiet forest.

Now he is in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. With his strength greatly increased, he no longer needs to be on edge as before, but he still dares not relax in the slightest.

In this era, the Star Dou Great Forest is far more active with 100,000-year-old soul beasts than it would be 10,000 years later. You might encounter a powerful soul beast or a soul master with ulterior motives at any time.

Lin Yao took a deep breath, the air filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, holding the Soul-Destroying Spear in his hand.

Although he now has the Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm as his trump cards, and no longer needs to fear that a suddenly appearing evil soul master will "kill" him, he still understands the principle of "better safe than sorry".

However, since he wasn't in a hurry to leave, Lin Yao slowed down and, with a touch of appreciation, took in the scenery of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The wildflowers by the roadside were colorful, and some petals were still covered with glistening dewdrops.

The tall trees provide ample shade, their trunks entwined with lush green vines. Occasionally, a few brightly colored birds flit through the leaves, leaving behind a trail of clear chirps.

A stream flows gently in the distance, its water so clear you can see small fish swimming at the bottom. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves drift onto the surface and float slowly into the distance.

Lin Yao walked along the stream for a while, somewhat surprised that he hadn't encountered any soul beasts along the way. Just as he was about to continue walking, he suddenly heard footsteps.

The footsteps were very light, but they still reached his ears clearly in the quiet forest.

He instinctively stopped and hid behind a large tree, peering out through the gaps in the trunk.

He saw three figures walking towards him in the opposite direction.

Walking at the front was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail and hung down her back, swaying gently with her steps.

She was dressed in a light blue outfit, the fabric clinging to her body and outlining the girl's slender yet energetic figure. A white belt was tied around her waist, with a small storage bag hanging from it, making her look neat and capable.

Lin Yao's gaze fell on the girl's face.

It was a delicate face, with slightly upturned phoenix eyes that were full of lively light, as if they held a pool of clear spring water.

Beneath her pert nose were pale pink lips, the corners of which were slightly upturned, carrying a playful smile.

Her appearance wasn't exactly stunning, but she possessed a unique charm that made people feel close to her and couldn't help but want to talk to her more.

As the girl walked along the road, she would occasionally bend down, pick up small stones from the roadside, and throw them at the tree trunks in the distance.

Each time a pebble hits the tree trunk, she claps excitedly, her eyes shining even brighter.

Following behind the girl was a boy of similar age to her.

The boy was tall and slender, more than half a head taller than the girl, and his short, dark blue hair was neatly styled, gleaming faintly in the sunset.

He wore a white robe with light blue embroidered patterns on the collar and cuffs, and looked very elegant.

The boy had a handsome face, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and always had a gentle smile on his lips, like a kind older brother next door.

However, seemingly noticing Lin Yao's undisguised gaze, the smile on her face vanished instantly when she looked in the direction where Lin Yao was hiding. Her eyes became wary, and she subconsciously slowed her pace, standing behind the girl, ready to strike at any moment.

Lin Yao watched the boy's actions and couldn't help but nod in approval. This boy not only had a refined temperament and good looks, but also a very meticulous mind.

However, even though the blue-haired boy was already quite handsome, he was still somewhat inferior to Lin Yao.

After all, Lin Yao not only received the blessing of his counterparts from other worlds, but also underwent the marrow cleansing of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's power.

Both his appearance and temperament have become more outstanding, especially the composure and confidence in his eyes, which are something that the younger man did not have.

Lin Yao was still guessing who the two people were, but when he saw the eleven or twelve-year-old boy following behind them, he instantly recognized him.

That was an acquaintance, the little guy he had seen before at the back gate of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's clothes were still a bit worn compared to when I first saw him, but they were much cleaner, and his hair was neatly combed.

He walked at the very back, carrying a small package in his hands, his eyes showing a hint of timidity, yet also a touch of stubbornness.

She followed closely behind the blue-haired boy, glancing up every now and then at the girl and boy in front of her, her eyes filled with dependence.

"If I'm not mistaken, this girl with the ponytail and the blue-haired boy must be Tang Ya and Bei Bei, right?"

Lin Yao muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips. What a coincidence, to run into them here.

But now that everyone else has been gathered, what about Electrolux?

A hint of doubt flashed through Lin Yao's mind.

Why didn't such an important "cheat code" appear with Huo Yuhao?

He subconsciously glanced around Huo Yuhao's side, but saw no unusual aura and felt no fluctuation of spiritual power.

"Could it be that my appearance changed the plot? Or is it that even if Electrox is a remnant soul, I am not capable of detecting him in my current state?"

Lin Yao frowned, but quickly relaxed.

Regardless, now that he has the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the "connection to all realms" cheat, he can forge his own path even without Electrox.
