Douluo Continent: Apollo, the Sun God King!

The Snow Empress has made her move.

A streak of icy blue sword light shot out from her fingertips, slashing towards the gray phantom.

However, the sword beam passed directly through the phantom without causing any damage.

The phantom didn't even flinch.

Xue Di's expression finally changed.

"Whoosh—"

The gray phantom transformed into a stream of light, directly entering Lin Yaoyang's body and disappearing.

Snow Emperor: "!!!"

Xue Di's face turned deathly pale instantly.

She wanted to stop him, but it was too late. More importantly, Lin Yaoyang was at a crucial moment in absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring. If she forcibly interrupted him, at best the soul ring absorption would fail, and at worst, he would suffer a backlash of soul power.

Xue Di's hand hung in mid-air, caught in a dilemma.

She could only watch helplessly as the gray phantom disappeared into Lin Yaoyang's body, feeling anxious and helpless.

"Yaoyang..." Her voice trembled slightly, "You mustn't get into trouble..."

Deep in the forest, the wind stopped.

The birdsong also disappeared.

An eerie silence fell over everything.

Meanwhile, in Lin Yaoyang's spiritual sea, an unexpected encounter is quietly taking place.

In Lin Yaoyang's spiritual sea.

Upon entering this space, the first thing that caught the eye of that gray mass of air was a huge sun.

The sun hung in the center of the Sea of ​​Spirit, its entire body a brilliant gold, radiating a warm and intense light. It was not still, but slowly rotating, each rotation radiating endless light and heat outward, illuminating the entire Sea of ​​Spirit as if it were daytime.

The gray air currents paused before this sun.

That domineering aura that looked down upon the world subsided slightly at this moment.

Electrolux's remnant soul stared at the sun, remaining silent for a long time.

Who is he?

He was the Holy God of the Dead, and even with only a wisp of his soul remaining, his vision and knowledge far surpassed those of ordinary people.

But at this moment, he couldn't quite see through this young man.

He was originally a child of light, and his fall into the dead was an extreme choice made after being betrayed. Deep in his soul, he had an unbreakable resonance with pure light.

That sun was not a martial spirit, nor a phantom formed from condensed soul power; it was a higher-level existence, a primordial power that transcended mortals.

"The sun..." he murmured to himself, his voice filled with undisguised shock, "The true power of the sun... Just who is this boy?"

After a brief moment of shock, a low sigh came from the gray air currents.

There was a complex emotion in that voice: regret, relief, and a hint of barely perceptible...expectation.

"Since I've met you, it must be fate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray airflow suddenly contracted, condensing into a gray bead no bigger than a soybean.

The bead was perfectly round, with a faint halo flowing across its surface, like a sleeping seed, quietly suspended in the air above the sea of ​​spirit.

Lin Yaoyang, who was in the sea of ​​spirit, witnessed all of this and his heart skipped a beat.

This is... Electrolux?!

The undead demigod Elex, the peerless powerhouse who "holds the sun and moon in his hands and plucks the stars from the sky, and there is no one like him in the world!"

Before coming to the Star Dou Great Forest, he made a special trip to a city to inquire about it.

Shrek Academy's admissions process has just begun, and there is still plenty of time.

So his plan was to first absorb a spirit ring, and then wait in the Star Dou Great Forest to see if he could win over Ilex.

Electrolux's remnant soul should have appeared along with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

I never expected him to come to me like this!

Lin Yaoyang was overjoyed.

The gray bead floated quietly in his sea of ​​consciousness, peaceful and still, without making a sound.

But Lin Yaoyang could sense that it was there, sleeping, waiting.

Since Electrolux is here...

Are Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also nearby?

Lin Yaoyang quickly started calculating in his mind.

According to the original timeline, Huo Yuhao encountered the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. They should have already begun their sacrifice.

Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm...

To be honest, Lin Yaoyang wasn't particularly interested in that million-year-old silkworm.

Yellowish, fat, and a chatterbox.

Although its cultivation level is there, its combat power is practically zero. Its greatest value lies in its millions of years of spiritual and soul power, as well as the unique characteristic of the "Wisdom Soul Ring".

But these things are not necessities for him now.

His martial soul is Apollo, and he follows the path of ultimate fire and ultimate light. The ice and mental attributes of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm do not completely align with his path.

In comparison, Electrolux is far more valuable.

The legacy of the undead demigods, their mastery of the power of life and death, and their vision and wisdom far beyond this era—these are the truly precious things.

Moreover, Electrolux chose him of his own volition.

What does this mean? It means that his power of light, or rather, his solar power, has a natural attraction for Electrox.

do not care.

Lin Yaoyang calmed himself down and refocused his attention on absorbing the soul ring.

We'll talk about that gray bead after we've absorbed the spirit ring.

……

One hour later.

Lin Yaoyang slowly opened his eyes.

A golden glint flashed briefly in his eyes before disappearing into the depths of his pupils.

His aura was much stronger than before, and a warm current flowed around his body, scorching the surrounding air and causing it to distort slightly.

He looked down at his hands.

With a thought, a ring of spirit energy rose from beneath his feet.

Purple, purple, purple, black.

Three purples and one black.

Twelve years old, level 42, four-ring Soul Master.

This achievement, placed within the entire history of the Douluo Continent, is enough to overshadow any genius.

"Yaoyang, how are you feeling?" Xue Di's voice came from beside him, filled with undisguised concern.

Lin Yaoyang stood up, stretched his limbs, felt the surging power within him, and laughed, "Great! I feel full of power!"

He turned to Xue Di, only to find that her expression was somewhat off. Her exquisite face was slightly furrowed, and her sky-blue eyes were filled with worry.

"What's wrong, Sister Xue'er?"

Xue Di hesitated for a moment, but still recounted what had just happened: "When you were absorbing the spirit ring, a gray stream of energy suddenly appeared and entered your body. I tried to stop it, but it didn't seem to be a physical entity; my attacks had absolutely no effect on it..."

There was a hint of self-reproach in her voice.

With nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, and being the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, even a remnant soul couldn't stop him. This made the Snow Emperor feel somewhat frustrated.

"Gray airflow?" Lin Yaoyang pretended to ponder, then shook his head. "I didn't sense anything unusual. Sister Xue'er, don't worry, I'm fine."

Xue Di stared at him for a long time, seemingly trying to discern something from his face.

In the end, she chose to believe him.

"Alright then." She sighed softly. "Be careful. If anything seems unusual, be sure to tell me immediately."

"it is good."

"Let's go, I'll take you to Shrek City first."

After Xue Di finished speaking, she reached out and put her arm around Lin Yaoyang's waist. With a flash, the two of them took to the air and flew westward.
