Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

It has given its all; whether it can pull through ultimately depends on Xiao Wu's own will and the final direction of the ice silkworm's energy.

Meanwhile, the Crimson King had already fully regained consciousness, though he was somewhat bewildered by the current situation.

In this suffocating stalemate, the pillar of light, mixed with golden light and cold air, suddenly trembled, then receded inward like a tide, surging wildly into Xiao Wu's body.

The nine-colored cocoon of light enveloping her also fluctuated, its light shining unpredictably.

The next second, all the strange phenomena stopped instantly.

The pillar of light disappeared completely, and the nine-colored cocoon of light slowly faded, revealing the figure curled up on the ground inside.

Xiao Wu lay there motionless, her body soaked in sweat and blood, her face as pale as paper, and her breath extremely weak.

However, three spirit rings were silently floating above her body.

Yellow, yellow.

The first two were her original hundred-year and thousand-year soul rings, while the third one, which should have been a condensed thousand-year purple soul ring, now presented a bright white jade color, with a faint golden halo shining through the white.

The sacrifice was successful.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year-old soul beast, successfully forcibly bound its fate to Xiao Wu's.

"It's a success... Haha... It's a success! I, Lord Tianmeng... am finally... free..."

A voice, filled with ecstasy and exhaustion, came out intermittently from Xiao Wu.

The sound didn't come from her lips, but echoed directly in the air, carrying a tremor on a spiritual level.

The Nine-Colored Deer breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the nine-colored radiance around it subsided somewhat, but its eyes remained solemn.

It could sense that although Xiao Wu's life force was weak, it had finally stabilized, and her body was slowly recovering.

Just then, an indescribable, terrifying pressure descended as if the entire sky had collapsed!

The waters of the Lake of Life stopped flowing instantly, as if frozen.

The towering ancient trees around them bowed silently, their branches and leaves trembling.

The air was still, and even the light seemed to become viscous.

A pitch-black figure tore through space and appeared silently above the lake.

His long, strong body was covered in jet-black scales, and his golden vertical pupils were like two burning suns, containing endless majesty and fury.

He simply stood there, and the very core of the Starry Sky Forest seemed to prostrate itself at his feet.

The Beast God, Di Tian, ​​has returned.

His gaze immediately fell on Xiao Wu, who was unconscious by the lake, and on the three spirit rings on her body, especially the white spirit ring with light gold patterns.

In an instant, Di Tian's aura became extremely dangerous, and the surrounding space began to distort and crack, revealing fine black marks.

He slowly descended from the sky and stood not far from Xiao Wu. He shifted his gaze from the strange soul ring to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that appeared to the side, formed from spiritual energy.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like ancient ice rubbing against each other, carrying a killing intent powerful enough to freeze the soul, resounding word by word in this stagnant space:

"Heaven, Dream".

"How dare you?"

Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of all the living beings present.

The Nine-Colored Deer's body shone brightly as it sensed the pure and terrifying dragon's might and rage. However, it remained standing in place, its clear eyes filled with vigilance and a hint of protection as it stood in front of Xiao Wu.

Chapter 220 Million-Year Soul Ring

Di Tian's gaze, as if it were tangible, pressed down on the Nine-Colored Deer, causing the flowing nine-colored radiance to dim slightly.

But it did not retreat.

The air felt like solidified ice, so heavy it was hard to breathe.

Just then, the illusory image of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was suspended in mid-air and formed from spiritual energy, seemed to recover from its initial ecstasy and also felt Di Tian's gaze that almost crushed it.

Its plump silkworm body trembled, but then a sense of "I've already succeeded in my sacrifice, what can you do to me now?" welled up inside it.

Since I've already offended them to death, I might as well vent my anger!

The illusory image of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm twisted and turned, then spoke mockingly to Di Tian:

"Hehe! Di Tian! You old black mudfish! What are you glaring at me for! Didn't expect that, did you? Your grandpa Tianmeng is out! No more staying at the bottom of your lousy lake! Aren't you angry? I'm asking you, aren't you angry? Hahahaha!"

It laughed wildly, with a kind of madness that had been suppressed for countless years and was finally released.

"You think locking me up will work? You can't lock up a million-year-old soul beast! See? I have an Intelligence Soul Ring now! A high-end one! Do you understand?"

It chattered on and on, trying to mask its deep-seated fear of the Emperor.

Di Tian remained silent.

He didn't even make any additional movements.

However, those vertical pupils burning with golden flames turned slightly, completely locking onto the illusory image of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Just one glance.

"Buzz!"

Tianmeng Bingcan's arrogant laughter came to an abrupt halt.

It felt as if its spiritual core was locked by an invisible giant hammer. The terrifying pressure and cold killing intent originating from the soul level were a million times stronger than what it felt at the bottom of the lake!

It had no doubt that if it hadn't already become a smart soul ring and was in a special state, Di Tian would have decided to attack it!

"Oh my god!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm screamed in fright, and its spiritual phantom instantly dissipated, like a burst bubble, shrinking back into Xiaowu's body and hiding in her spiritual sea, not daring to utter another sound.

It moved so fast that it left only a blur.

Silence returned to the lakeside, with only Xiao Wu's breathing and the increasingly deep and terrifying aura emanating from Di Tian.

Di Tian's gaze shifted from where the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had disappeared, returning to Xiao Wu, and finally settling on the Nine-Colored Deer blocking his way.

The nine-colored deer raised its head and looked at him.

Its eyes remained clear and naturally peaceful, but its protective posture remained unchanged.

The terrifying aura of distorted space surrounding Di Tian gradually subsided.

He stared at the Nine-Colored Deer for a few seconds, then looked at the dazzling white soul ring with pale gold patterns on Xiao Wu's body.

What's done is done, and there's no going back.

Killing Xiao Wu? It's pointless; it will only anger the auspicious beast.

Forcibly stripping Tianmeng away?

Even if it were possible, Xiao Wu would surely die.

He remained silent for a long while, and then the oppressive force that had frozen the entire Lake of Life slowly receded like the tide.

Di Tian gave the Nine-Colored Deer a deep look, his voice returning to its usual low and unreadable tone:

"Keep an eye on her."

He uttered only these three words, and then the enormous, pitch-black dragon body silently merged into the void and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Only after the aura of Emperor Tian completely disappeared did the radiance flowing around the Nine-Colored Deer gradually return to normal.

It lowered its head and gently nuzzled Xiao Wu's cheek with its nose, letting out a soft hum that sounded soothing.

The Red King shook its three heads, seemingly not quite understanding what had just happened, but it could sense that the greatest crisis had passed.

It shook its head, lay down again, and continued to perform its guard duties.

……

Xiao Wu felt as if she had been floating on a boundless, dark, icy plain for a long time.

It was cold, stinging, and had a bloating sensation as if my body was being forcibly stuffed full.

She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as if they weighed a ton.

"Hey! Hey! Little girl! Wake up! Don't sleep!"

A somewhat familiar voice, tinged with urgency and flattery, echoed in her mind.

Xiao Wu suddenly jolted awake, her consciousness instantly becoming much clearer.

She opened her eyes and found herself not by the Lake of Life, but in a strange space.

Here, everything was in chaos, with the water beneath your feet as calm and still as a mirror, reflecting the hazy, softly white sky above.

A light mist drifted in the air, carrying a hint of coolness.

"Where am I?" Xiao Wu looked around blankly.

"Hehe, this is your spiritual sea! Pretty cool, right? From now on, this is our territory!"

The voice rang out again, with a hint of smugness.

Xiao Wu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge, plump, and round ice silkworm floating on the water not far in front of her. Its small eyes were looking at her, and its face was full of smiles that were trying to appear kind.

It is indeed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!

Xiao Wu's face instantly turned cold, and intense hostility and anger burst forth in her pink eyes.

"It's you! Tianmeng Ice Silkworm! What did you do to me?!" she demanded sharply, while subconsciously checking her physical condition.

She was stunned by the examination.

My soul power has reached level 31.

Moreover, she could clearly see that three spirit rings were quietly floating inside her body.

Yellow, yellow, and... a bright white spirit ring.

It wasn't the purple millennium soul ring she had originally tried to condense!

"What...what's going on?"

Xiao Wu's voice trembled as she pointed to the white spirit ring.

"Why is my third spirit ring white? It hasn't even been a hundred years! What exactly did you do?"
