"Then why are you imprisoned here?"
Tianmeng Ice Worm went silent from Su Wen's single question, thoroughly depressed.
He was just too weak.
Even though his cultivation base was heaven-defying, his actual combat strength was abysmal. He was essentially a walking heavenly treasure. First, he was hunted down in the Far North, then he fled into the ocean, where he was chased by several detestable sea soul beasts for a long time. Eventually, he arrived on the continent, only to be captured alive and sealed by Di Tian and the others from the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Hey, you're a Soul Master, right? I saw your battle just now. You're very strong, but your soul power realm is really weird. It seems like you're not a Limit Douluo yet? You aren't even a Title Douluo, right?"
"What are you getting at?" Su Wen glanced at the giant worm.
"I have a cultivation base of nearly a million years--"
Su Wen cut Tianmeng Ice Worm off.
"Oh right, before you speak, let me correct something you said. Right now, there are two who are close to a million years. You are one, and the other is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He is also close to a million years."
Being interrupted by Su Wen like this, Tianmeng Ice Worm instantly choked on his words.
"On the continent! I meant on the continent!" Tianmeng Ice Worm barked, exasperated.
Having been cut off by Su Wen, his voice carried much less confidence.
"I am close to a million years after all. Even if I haven't reached it yet, I can guarantee that my accumulation plus yours will ensure that if you absorb me as a soul ring, you will definitely obtain a soul ring whose effects truly reach the million-year level," Tianmeng Ice Worm tempted him with everything he had.
Su Wen looked at the massive baby worm.
Although it still contained a vast amount of nutrients, it was clear that its origin was already heavily depleted. The remaining vitality of this Tianmeng Ice Worm actually didn't hold much significance for Su Wen.
"You're talking about a million-year soul ring?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Inside the seal, Tianmeng Ice Worm hurriedly nodded his giant worm head.
Di Tian watched from the side without saying a word.
He couldn't defeat Su Wen. If Su Wen wanted to forcibly take Tianmeng away right now, he really didn't know if he could stop him.
As for the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian had never considered having her truly strike at this moment. Her injuries were still too severe. Just resting inside the small world was enough to weigh it down to the brink of collapse. If she were to truly fight, the entire continent would be violently shaken, which would inevitably attract the attention of the Divine Realm.
Being able to deter Su Wen right now was the absolute limit of what the Silver Dragon King could do.
Looking at the deeply expectant Tianmeng, Su Wen sighed.
"I don't need your soul ring. My remaining two soul rings are already reserved."
Tianmeng's face instantly petrified.
What on earth?
What kind of thing dares to compare itself to me, the Tianmeng Ice Worm?
I am a soul ring capable of reaching the million-year level!
"Furthermore, I'm not lacking a million-year soul ring." Saying this, Su Wen released his soul rings.
Black, black, red, black, black, black.
The appearance of the first six soul rings caused Di Tian's pupils to contract.
The Scarlet King's expression turned incredibly unsightly.
He knew Su Wen only possessed a single martial soul.
Yet, even under such circumstances, this guy had managed to cultivate his soul rings into such a heaven-defying configuration.
Moreover, there was actually a hundred-thousand-year level soul ring.
While the Scarlet King, Di Tian, and the other savage beasts were in a state of shock, Su Wen's seventh soul ring slowly rose from beneath his feet after the first six.
This process of condensing soul rings was an excellent opportunity to show off. Soul Masters could control the speed at which their soul rings manifested.
As long as it wasn't during a battle, it was very common in the Soul Master world to sequentially release soul rings for the purpose of intimidation or showing off.
The seventh soul ring.
Platinum-gold!
Di Tian took a deep breath, his expression turning heavy.
Tianmeng's face petrified once again.
What?
A million years?
Furthermore, the weight of this million-year ring was exceptionally potent. Tianmeng Ice Worm could sense a pure, god-level power emanating from it.
At this moment, Di Tian only felt bitterness and helplessness in his heart.
No wonder. Even though his soul power aura was clearly at the Spirit Douluo level, he was able to grasp the power of a god.
It turned out his seventh soul ring had already reached the rank of a god-level soul ring.
A god-level ring...
"I already have a god-level soul ring, and the two soul rings I have reserved should also be able to reach the god-level. Therefore, I probably don't need this soul ring of yours," Su Wen said to Tianmeng Ice Worm, looking quite apologetic.
Tianmeng wanted to cry but had no tears.
Who could understand his pain? He had finally encountered a Soul Master capable of rescuing him, and this Soul Master even had empty slots for soul rings, yet a million-year soul ring wasn't even worth a second glance to him.
How frustrating.
"However, the life vitality inside your body is still quite abundant. While it doesn't help me much, it can still be considered a heavenly treasure."
The critical point was that it didn't clash with other heavenly treasures.
After consuming immortal herbs, taking even more immortal herbs would not provide further benefits if they couldn't be digested; instead, it would only bring harm.
However, cultivating with Tianmeng Ice Worm's life vitality after consuming immortal herbs carried absolutely no drawbacks.
The two could even complement each other.
Di Tian's expression changed slightly.
Did this Su Wen really want to take Tianmeng Ice Worm away?
Behind him, Bear King, Brigitte, and the others looked even more displeased.
Tianmeng Ice Worm's power was the key to advancing their own cultivation. If he was taken away, they would have to cultivate for at least several tens of thousands of years more.
"Sir, it is still better to communicate with the Lord first." Di Tian could only interrupt Su Wen.
Su Wen glanced at Di Tian.
"Don't worry, the benefits I'm bringing to the soul beast clan this time are not small. Even if I take Tianmeng Ice Worm, you won't be losing out."
Di Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.
Benefits?
What benefits could this Grandmaster Wen bring to the soul beast clan?
"Di Tian, bring him in."
"Yes, Lord!"
This time, the Silver Dragon King spoke directly.
Su Wen turned his head and looked toward a certain direction at the bottom of the lake, where a pitch-black rift existed.
The voice had come from within that rift.
Tianmeng Ice Worm trembled violently.
Su Wen's attainment in space was extremely high. Sensing the space at this moment, he could vaguely feel that this rift was formed by the literal shattering of a small world.
He followed Di Tian across the rift and entered the space where the Silver Dragon King resided, instantly understanding the nature of this place.
"The Silver Dragon King's power is too immense. Coupled with the Asura sword qi on her body, the damage to this small world is too severe, causing it to crack and break apart."
However, the origin of the small world had been stabilized by the Silver Dragon King, which was why the rift outside appeared to be quite stable.
Inside the small world, the sky was incredibly gloomy, with lightning flashing down from time to time. Magma rolled across the ground, and space fluctuated violently.
This was a world on the verge of doomsday.
His gaze focused on the center of the small world, where a giant silver dragon lay.
Her silver-white scales radiated a peculiar texture. Looking closely, seven distinct colors seemed to reflect off them.
Even though it was clearly silver-white, it gave off a multicolored impression.
This meant her profound truths had already penetrated deep into her marrow, to the point where the power involved in those profound truths could influence perception itself.
"Asura sword qi."
Su Wen's gaze shifted to the Asura sword qi dissipating from the Silver Dragon King's body.
"It's different from the power contained within the Asura Divine Sword wielded by Tang Chen. As expected, it contains an aura of resentment and slaughter."
From this sword qi, Su Wen could feel an aura similar to the one on Bibi Dong.
Therefore, the original God of Asura was indeed a single entity. Ultimately, he was polluted when he slew the Dragon God. Before the authority over negative emotions like resentment could strip away too much of his strength, he severed it, condensing it into the ownerless God of Rakshasa.
