Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

Gu Linyuan stood up, his palm still pressed against the ice surface.

The life force spread beneath the ice, extending slowly downwards like tree roots probing into the soil, and he could feel that heartbeat-like pulse becoming clearer and clearer.

He closed his eyes, condensing the life energy within his body into a stream, like a long, thin river, penetrating the ice, passing through the rocks, and flowing through the strata that had been frozen for countless millennia, extending towards the pulsating source.

When the life force touched that dormant consciousness, that consciousness seemed to tremble slightly, as if it had been touched by some familiar aura.

He then felt a faint but firm response coming from below, as if a hand, distant, somewhat unfamiliar yet yearning, reached out a finger through the thick rock and gently touched the edge of his senses.

"The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm should not have broken through a million years yet, but it is not far from a million years."

"In that case, I can help him out!"

A glint of light flashed in Gu Linyuan's eyes.

He then sat down cross-legged on the ice.

The realm of life surged forth from his body.

Emerald green light poured continuously into the ice layer below.

He activated the martial spirit of the ancient tree of life.

The ethereal image of an ancient, verdant tree appeared behind him, its leaves shimmering with a gentle light, like branches reaching out from another world, sending a slender yet persistent force into the crack.

He could clearly sense that the consciousness of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was slowly awakening from its slumber, like a person emerging from a very deep dream onto the surface of the water.

Layer by layer upwards, little by little approaching awakening, the breath also rapidly rises as one awakens.

"It's about to break through."

Gu Linyuan's voice was not loud, but it carried a certainty that came after confirmation.

"This force will continue for some time and may cause quite a stir."

Gu Linyuan turned to look at the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

"Please keep an eye on the surroundings and don't let anything get close."

After saying that, Gu Linyuan stopped being distracted and poured more life energy into the ice layer below.

He could feel that dormant consciousness rapidly awakening, like a seed in a rock layer sensing the temperature of the ground and pushing upwards to push away the soil pressing down on it.

He stopped speaking, simply pressing his hands onto the ice, focusing all his efforts on guiding the scattering ripples, creating a visible tremor in the far north.

Ah Yin stood beside him, a pale golden light emanating from her body, merging with the life domain to form an even more solid barrier.

Her gaze fell on the trembling ice surface, her fingertips tightening slightly, as if she were sharing the weight from the ground with Gu Linyuan.

Time passed little by little.

The tremors beneath the ice grew stronger and stronger, and cracks began to spread outward from below Gu Linyuan's palm, as if something was forcefully pushing upward from the depths, tearing apart layer after layer of ice shell with a dull cracking sound.

That aura was also rapidly increasing.

The threshold between hundreds of thousands and millions of years is being broken down inch by inch by an almost brute force.

Then, Gu Linyuan felt a clear, conscious touch.

Gu Linyuan's lips finally curved into a smile.

He found it.

He descended from the realm of gods to the mortal world, traversed the Starry Sky Forest, crossed the snowstorms of the far north, and finally found it after searching for so long.

Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. A million-year-old soul beast. The only being on the Douluo Continent that has accumulated a million years of life simply by eating and sleeping.

Its power, its accumulation, its vast and almost immeasurable reserves of soul power—all of this will become his.

Chapter 215 The Golden Soul Ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm

The ice layer cracked without making a sound in front of Gu Linyuan.

The edge of the crack was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been neatly cut by an invisible blade, so clean that not even a single piece of ice had broken off.

The crack extended downwards, leading to a place deep within the ice layer. A deep darkness surged up from the crack, carrying a warm and pure aura. There was no sound of wind, only a faint hum echoing from the depths of the earth, like the lingering sound of a plucked string vibrating in the far distance.

Without hesitation, Gu Linyuan stepped into the crevice.

Emerald green light spread out from beneath his feet, like a soft carpet of light unfolding in the darkness, supporting his every step and steadily guiding him into that deep crevice.

Hyotei and Yuki-tei exchanged a glance, but did not speak, and followed one after the other. A-Yin walked at the very back, a pale golden light flowing around her, drawing a thin trail of light behind her, like a long ray of starlight stretched across the night sky, shining continuously in the cracks of darkness.

As they went deeper into the crack, the ice walls on both sides became smoother and smoother, gradually transforming from the initial rough ice layer into a transparent structure that was almost like glass.

The ice walls were interspersed with fine silver specks of light, like fragments of stars frozen deep within the ice. They shimmered faintly as the four passed by, their flickering light carrying a gentle quality dulled by time.

Hyotei paused for a moment, staring at the silver specks of light on the ice wall with his emerald green eyes for a while before continuing on his way.

Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were trying to identify something familiar yet difficult to pinpoint. Her lips moved slightly, but she ultimately remained silent.

The bottom of the crack was much wider than expected, like a huge underground cavity encased in ice.

Those silvery-white specks of light that were once embedded in the ice wall are now scattered on the ground, spreading out in a dense pattern, like crushed starlight falling to the ground.

Most of them had lost their luster, leaving only grayish-white fragments, like remains that had been drained of all their essence. When stepped on, they made a very light rustling sound, like dry leaves crumbling underfoot.

But between the wreckage, a faint silver halo still lingered. It was as if the ancient energy that once flowed here, after its demise, still left a lingering echo deep within the earth, gently reverberating in the air, refusing to completely dissipate.

The lingering scents in the air slowed Hyotei's breathing. She

Standing at the edge of the cave entrance, his emerald green eyes slowly swept across the entire ice cave, repeatedly confirming that his perception was correct.

She saw the debris covering the ground, its density, and the marks it left on the ice wall. Then her gaze lingered on the largest cluster of debris for a long while.

"here……"

Her voice was softer than usual, carrying a complex emotion that she herself might not fully understand.

How much storage was originally there?

She was asking a question, not actually waiting for an answer.

Xue Di stood beside her without saying a word.

The marrow of ten thousand years of ice is a precious resource for them.

A small piece is enough to allow a 100,000-year-old soul ring to safely pass through a heavenly tribulation, and this place should have been covered with that substance, so dense that even the ice walls were glowing.

Now those remains lie quietly in the dust, like the empty shell left after a blood vessel of the earth has been drained, the veins are clear, but there is no longer any flowing blood.

"This is a vein of mineral marrow formed from ten thousand years of frozen ice. I'll take over the aura."

Hyotei's chest heaved violently with anger.

Such a precious treasure!

That ice silkworm has been eating here for millions of years, taking them as its daily food.

Xue Di stood silently before the ruins for a long time.

She slowly squatted down, her fingertips brushing against the grayish-white debris, which felt dry and fine.

"Just how much did this guy eat?"

"No wonder it was able to eat this and become a million-year-old soul beast."

For hundreds of thousands of years, she has traversed every inch of ice in the far north, but she has never seen any life form with such a luxurious way of growing.

Pure consumption, pure slumber, pure accumulation. No need for fighting, no need to gamble everything in the heavenly tribulation.

That ice silkworm used the most foolish method to complete a path that no other soul beast would even dare to imagine.

Deep within the cave, the outline of that golden light was becoming increasingly clear.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm floats in the deepest part of the cave.

Its body radiated a warm, golden light in the darkness, like an amber that had slumbered for countless years, slowly lifted from the depths of ice to the edge of light. It was about ten feet long, its entire body displaying a soft luster, like a large piece of mutton-fat jade soaked in moonlight. Its surface was covered with fine lines that flowed slowly under the golden light, as if possessing their own rhythmic breathing.

Its body was covered with a faint emerald green halo.

Those were the traces left by Gu Linyuan after he infused life energy. The emerald green light was flowing slowly, like river water flowing over its surface, washing over its body again and again, constantly reinforcing the barrier that had just broken through a million years ago.

Its senses are awakening from slumber, like a person rising from the depths of water, first sensing the temperature beneath the ice, then the surrounding atmosphere, and then the beings slowly moving around it.

Its compound eyes slowly opened, initially a layer of chaotic light, as if covered by mist, then the mist slowly dissipated, revealing two extremely faint golden pupils deep within.

The moment the Ice Emperor's emerald green eyes met the slowly opening compound eyes of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, its body visibly stiffened for a moment.

Its body froze abruptly in the center of the cave, as if pressed to the spot by some invisible force. A moment of blankness flashed through its newly opened golden compound eyes, which then quickly transformed into an almost instinctive fear.

"It's you?"

It recognized Hyotei's aura.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion of the far north, a top predator that had roamed the upper layers of the ice plains for hundreds of thousands of years, occasionally venturing into the middle layers to hunt. And the snow-white figure standing behind the Ice Emperor almost made it stop breathing.

Snow Emperor.

One of the oldest beings in the far north, a true pinnacle predator, her name has been circulating among the lowest-level soul beasts of the far north for so long that even when the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was still hiding from its natural enemies in the shallow ice crevices, it had already heard of her legend.

"What are Hyotei and Yukitei doing here?"

"Run!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm twisted its body suddenly in the cave, attempting to retreat deeper into the cave.

It moves quickly, but Hyotei and Yuki-tei are even faster.

With a flash, Bingdi had already circled around to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's retreat route. Her emerald green eyes stared coldly at it, and icy blue light condensed at her fingertips into slender and sharp prisms, like a row of ice needles suspended in mid-air, aimed at its retreat path.

The Snow Empress did not move her position; she simply stood in front of it, her aura already enveloping the entire cave, like an invisible ice curtain descending from the sky, bringing all the space under her control.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body froze in place.

Its golden light flashed intensely a few times on its body, then slowly dimmed. It sensed the blockade of its aura from both the front and back.

One is sharp and agile, like a blade that could fall at any moment; the other is thick and dense, like an iceberg that is slowly closing.

No matter which direction it moves in, it will be intercepted in the next instant.

"I just... just woke up..."

"I didn't do anything..."

It has lived for nearly a million years.
