"I have already sensed it. This Evil Eye contains the purest essence left behind by its mother, along with two of the strongest ultimate techniques that their lineage can wield. Once you absorb it, you will naturally comprehend its mysteries." Di Tian said as he handed it over. "Cultivate it well in the future. Perhaps you may even gain other benefits."
Even he had to marvel at the greatness of a mother's love.
Suddenly, Yang Yunhai felt the burden on his shoulders grow heavier. He sighed inwardly, reached out to accept it, and said softly, "I can only say, I'll do my best."
"That is enough," Di Tian replied. "You also have your own family and friends. We all shoulder responsibilities that belong to us. Our lives do not belong to ourselves alone. The only thing we can do is give it our all."
"Thank you for understanding." Yang Yunhai bowed slightly, then continued, "There is one more thing. I hope to take the Tianmeng Iceworm with me. As for its body, you can take it back later to enhance your own strength. What I want is its ability and the qualitative transformation it can bring to my Martial Soul."
From what he knew, in the original story the Tianmeng Iceworm had abandoned its body and turned into a spiritual body, sacrificing itself to Huo Hang.
"That's fine." Di Tian didn't hesitate. His figure flickered, and ripples spread across the lake's surface.
Moments later, within the barrier, Di Tian descended gracefully onto the water and strode toward the Tianmeng Iceworm.
"Lord Beast God, do you need something?" The Tianmeng Iceworm shrank its neck, shuffled its plump body nervously, and asked cautiously.
"The Child of Nature requires you to abandon your body and sacrifice yourself to him," Di Tian said flatly.
"I'm willing!" The Tianmeng Iceworm agreed immediately.
"Just giving it away like that—this doesn't seem right, does it?" Bear Lord growled in displeasure.
"I'm not negotiating," Di Tian shot him a glance, then turned back to the Tianmeng Iceworm.
"Remember this: if you dare betray our kind and leak anything to the gods, you won't even need me to act. Someone will ensure you are utterly annihilated."
"But as long as you sincerely assist the Child of Nature, your path to godhood is nearly guaranteed. Don't destroy yourself."
"Please rest assured, Lord Beast God. I also have my principles." The Tianmeng Iceworm vowed firmly.
"I need to attend to something outside. You all continue guarding here." Di Tian nodded to Bi Ji, then reached out, grabbed the Tianmeng Iceworm, and left.
"Hmph!" Bear Lord snorted coldly, clearly unhappy.
"Bear Lord, there's no need to be upset," Zi Ji reminded him calmly. "What Brother Tian said was abandoning its body to sacrifice itself. That means the Child of Nature doesn't want the Tianmeng Iceworm's cultivation. Once the sacrifice is done, Brother Tian will likely return its body."
"Indeed, if Brother Tian chose this path, he naturally has his reasons." Bi Ji added.
Bear Lord said nothing more, flopped to the side, and went back to sleep.
…
Elsewhere, Di Tian had already left the water and descended beneath the great tree, tossing the Tianmeng Iceworm to the ground.
"Greetings, Child of Nature." Suppressing its ice attribute aura, the Tianmeng Iceworm immediately crawled up to Yang Yunhai's leg and fawned.
"…." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were speechless. They had never seen such a shameless soul beast.
Yang Yunhai's face darkened slightly. He gave a small nod. "Tianmeng, you'll stay inside a Soul Tool for now."
With that, he flicked his jade gourd, sucking the plump worm inside. He then raised his head toward Di Tian. "Senior Di Tian, let's go."
"Good." Di Tian nodded, flying alongside Yang Yunhai toward the outer regions of the Star Dou Forest.
"Hateful humans!" Seeing the five of them fly overhead without even glancing at him, the Titan Giant Ape roared furiously at the sky.
Yao Ling immediately told Di Tian about Xiao Wu.
Boom!
With a ripple in space, two giant palms appeared out of nowhere, slapping both the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python that had just surfaced straight into the ground, sending them flying several meters away.
They collapsed and fainted instantly.
"Incredible!" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were dumbstruck.
As expected of the soul beast leader!
'So this is Di Tian's self-created ultimate art—Spatial Grasp.' Yang Yunhai thought, eyes glinting with envy.
To slap someone across space—he wanted to learn that!
"Martial Uncle, later, take a detour back to the academy and bring Yan Zi here." He turned to Ghost Douluo.
"Alright." Ghost Douluo nodded slightly.
…
A few days later, in the Sunset Forest at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"This is also one of the reasons." Landing on the ground, Yang Yunhai sighed. "My current achievements, as well as the strength of my loved ones, are inseparable from the legacy left behind by the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King. I owe a debt to the soul beast race."
'No wonder…' Di Tian gazed at the vast array of rare herbs before him and immediately understood. He gave a slight nod. "Regardless, I must thank you on behalf of all soul beasts."
"It's mutual benefit." Yang Yunhai smiled.
"Xiao Hai, you mean… there are two dragon corpses at the bottom of this spring?" Chrysanthemum Douluo finally realized, his face full of shock.
"Correct." Yang Yunhai nodded.
"No wonder nine-grade Dragon Zoysia and Land Dragon Golden Melons could grow here." Chrysanthemum Douluo murmured.
"My Emperor, you've come." From afar, the Blue Silver King, upon noticing Yang Yunhai's arrival, spoke in human tongue.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass swayed gently in greeting.
"Senior Di Tian, please." Yang Yunhai gestured, striding toward the inner depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"My Emperor, forgive me. I still haven't broken through." The Blue Silver King said in frustration.
"It doesn't matter." Yang Yunhai smiled. "I already have a backup plan. It can wait."
As they spoke, Di Tian reached the well's edge and leapt down without hesitation.
"Who was that just now?" The Blue Silver King asked.
"Di Tian, your soul beast leader. His true body is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King." Yang Yunhai explained.
The Blue Silver King was stunned.
"He's a dragon!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was also shocked and whispered, "What level is his cultivation?"
"800,000 years." Yao Ling replied.
Both Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Blue Silver King were dumbfounded.
"Old Yao, what about that iceworm?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked again.
"990,000 years," Yao Ling answered. "But it didn't cultivate normally. It just ate ice marrow and slept its way up, without even crossing tribulations. It has no combat power. We've been draining its energy for years to aid our cultivation."
'No wonder it acted so desperate to curry favor earlier. It's just trying to cling to a thigh!' Chrysanthemum Douluo thought, stunned.
'Poor thing. Who knows how many years it's been drained.'
'Unfortunate fellow.' Yang Yunhai shook his head slightly, then flicked his jade gourd, dropping the Tianmeng Iceworm onto the ground.
"Such dense ice attribute!" With a sweep of its senses, it noticed the countless rare herbs around, especially those on the ice side. Its pores opened wide in delight.
It immediately wriggled toward them.
After all, the Iceworm clan fed on plants.
"Are you trying to cross a tribulation here?" Yang Yunhai asked coldly.
At its current cultivation, just eating one ice-attributed herb would push it over a million years, triggering heavenly tribulation instantly.
The Tianmeng Iceworm froze in place. Then it turned back, sticking to Yang Yunhai's leg, looking pitiful. "Child of Nature, I'll just look."
With its weak body and no tribulation experience, eating even one plant would cause its energy to surge out of control, its aura leaking, and the heavenly lightning would definitely strike it dead.
Yang Yunhai nodded slightly and said no more.
"Ahh…" The Tianmeng Iceworm sighed inwardly, gazing longingly at the countless icy treasures around.
The greatest pain in the world isn't being unable to obtain something. It's when treasures are right in front of you, gleaming and pure, yet you can't take a single bite. Just looking at them is torture.
Quickly, it shut its little eyes and pretended not to see.
