Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 78 Million-Year Soul Beast!

Almost at the same time that sound rang out, Huo Yuhao finally slowly opened his eyes, and two yellow spirit rings appeared at his feet.

[Soul Skill - Wind Control: Sensing and manipulating the air currents, shaping them into whatever form one desires.]

[A legendary soul skill that only the darlings of the wind are worthy of possessing. Perhaps compared to those more powerful fixed soul skills, "Wind Control" is slightly inferior, but the meaning of "Wind Control" lies in flow and change, which may also be the meaning of wind itself?]

Looking at the two lines of golden text on the Illusory Eye, Huo Yuhao still showed a hint of regret. Although Huo Yuhao was confident that given enough time, he could even master the Soul Skill "Wind Control", he still longed for the Soul Skill known as "Potential Burst".

"You little rascal, keep your voice down!"

Qian Daoliu's illusory figure appeared in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, and rebuked the source of the voice.

"Hey, am I late, bro? Seriously? I finally found a decent kid with a mental ability, and he's already absorbed all his spirit rings!"

The sudden voice rang out again, which surprised Huo Yuhao.

How come my own spiritual sea is like an unlocked door, allowing anyone who wants to come in, no matter who they are?

Just as Huo Yuhao finished absorbing the spirit ring and was about to get up to guard against the source of the sound, a strong spine suddenly burst open from the demon dog's corpse and soared into the air.

Because Huo Yuhao had just absorbed the spirit ring and hadn't had time to release the pull on it, he actually absorbed the spirit bone in one go.

That robust spine was even thicker than Huo Yuhao's own spine, with hundreds and thousands of light gray fiber bundles extending from various nodes of the spine. Just one glance at it was enough to make one break out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the soul bone floating in front of him, Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand and held it up. Instead of absorbing it, he put it away and looked around warily, as if he was alert to the source of the sound.

Just then, the ground beneath him suddenly trembled without warning. Cracks began to appear on the ground two meters in front of him, gradually widening into fissures. Faint golden-white light could be seen shining from the fissures.

"Old man, shouldn't we run away?"

Huo Yuhao raised his katana in a fighting stance, looking warily at the strange sight ahead.

"Don't panic, Yuhao, have you forgotten what Dajiao told you two years ago?"

Qian Daoliu's voice made Huo Yuhao feel a little more at ease, but then Huo Yuhao was stunned again.

Besides telling him a bunch of mystical things, what else did Da Jiao say?

Huo Yuhao fell into thought, and after pondering for a while, he seemed to have remembered something.

Your growth rate has exceeded the expectations of the Mother of All Souls.

According to the speed predicted by the Mother of All Spirits, you should be setting foot in the Star Dou Forest for the first time around [date missing].

You might encounter a giant insect that can compensate for your inherent deficiencies, but that's about it.

A chilling aura emanated from the cracks in the ground, and the surrounding temperature began to drop noticeably. The cracks grew larger and larger, eventually reaching a diameter of over five meters. And the golden-white light finally revealed its true form.

It was a round, fleshy head, more than a meter in diameter. It slowly crawled out, its body exceeding seven meters in length.

As it appeared, Huo Yuhao's breath began to mist with ice, and the icy chill made him shiver several times.

This thing looks like a silkworm. Except it's many times larger than a regular silkworm.

Its entire body is white jade-colored, crystal clear, and although it emerged from the soil, its smooth skin is free of any dirt. A halo flows beneath its skin, and there is even a pair of small, golden eyes on its head.

What's most peculiar is that starting half a meter from his head, there are ten golden patterns encircling him at intervals, from head to tail.

Is this the so-called big bug that Da Jiao mentioned?

Huo Yuhao felt a little suspicious, but he was no longer as nervous as before. Although he didn't know why the other party had come, it seemed that they wanted something from him.

At this time, Qian Daoliu and Huo Yuhao were in a relationship of mutual benefit and loss, so Huo Yuhao still trusted Qian Daoliu. Judging from Qian Daoliu's reaction, the other party's appearance seemed to be within Qian Daoliu's expectations.

"Although I don't know what you two, old and young, are discussing, my situation is very critical. Do you humans have any way to immediately improve your cultivation level and quickly obtain another soul ring so that I can also hide in your spiritual sea for a while?"

The Ice Silkworm's voice sounded slightly urgent, which startled Huo Yuhao.

"Another talking soul beast. Are you also a 100,000-year-old soul beast, like Big Horn?"

Ice Silkworm twisted its body: "I'm not a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I'm the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm who set the record for the longest lifespan in Douluo Continent. Um, you can call me Brother Heavenly Dream. Wait, now's not the time to talk about this, hurry up and turn yourself into level 30 so I can go inside and hide for a bit."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. This time, he must have encountered a genuine million-year soul beast. Although Master Qian had also provided him with a million-year soul ring, even he was only a little over 150 years old.

Despite his shock, Huo Yuhao looked at the reserves in his storage soul tool and shook his head: "Hey, Brother Tianmeng, why don't you just run? I only have two Soul Ascension Pills that can quickly increase my cultivation level. Even if I take them all, I still won't be able to reach level 30."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was greatly shocked. He had rushed over as soon as he sensed the other party's presence.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm always trusted his intuition. Whenever he sensed that a certain direction would be of great benefit to him, he would rush there immediately, and the result would never disappoint him. He would either encounter the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow or other rare and precious materials of the ice attribute.

And it was precisely because of this intuition that he was able to escape from a group of ferocious beasts. But today, just as he was about to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, this human in front of him actually said that he couldn't free up a soul ring slot.

"Little guy, this is a matter of life and death for this insect. Can you bear to watch me, a million-year-old soul beast, perish? If I become your soul ring, I will be the first intelligent soul ring in the history of Douluo Continent."
