Chapter 132: Tianmeng Physical Persuasion
[Your brows furrowed slightly. You retreated behind the crowd and slipped away without drawing attention.]
[A world-shaking battle erupted on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.]
[In addition to the stationed general and soldiers, many soul masters and noble servants joined the fight.]
[You moved to a distant mountain peak, standing with your arms folded as you looked down upon the battlefield. There was not the slightest fluctuation in your expression.]
[You had underestimated the bond between the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. You had overestimated the garrison's hatred toward soul beasts.]
[In merely half a day, you had grown considerably.]
[You watched the entire battle with an indifferent face until every guard and noble servant had fallen. The Sky Azure Bull Python led the remaining soul beasts in clearing the battlefield. It had no intention of leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.]
[You turned and departed, walking toward Spirit City.]
[Along the way, you did not use soul power, nor did you quicken your pace. You viewed the world through the eyes of an ordinary person. Although you had experienced such things before, you still wished to feel it once more.]
[Every time you experienced something like this, you gained a different realization.]
[At first, you simply thought nobles were parasites, an erroneous product of society.]
[Now, you believed that the entire cultivation system of soul beasts and soul masters was fundamentally flawed.]
[You felt that this world was unbearably filthy.]
Wang Li: "..."
[The sunlight on the surface of this world could never cleanse the darkness within people's hearts!]
[Not counting your previous life, you were fourteen this lifetime. Due to cultivation, however, you appeared to be an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old youth.]
[As you walked, you arrived once again at the nameless little hill. You sat beside it in silence for a long time.]
[She had clearly been penniless, yet she picked you up.]
[She had clearly been so kind, yet because of a single word from a noble, she died unjustly.]
[Did the nobles truly dislike her? No. They merely used such methods to consolidate their status and amuse themselves.]
[More than ten years had passed, yet you still could not forget that day, even though you had already avenged her.]
[Three days later, you finally rose and continued toward Spirit City.]
[Perhaps because you had comprehended something, your soul power surged dramatically during those three days. You broke past Rank 88 and reached Rank 89.]
[All you needed was to condense your second soul core to break through into the realm of a quasi–Titled Douluo.]
[You returned to Spirit City. Golden Crocodile Douluo scolded you harshly, yet you did not care in the slightest.]
[After he finished venting, he asked about your gains over the past two years. You told him everything in full detail.]
[When he heard that you had single-handedly slain the Titan Giant Ape, Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes widened in shock.]
[He had heard about the beast tide initiated by the Sky Azure Bull Python, but he had not expected it to have been caused by you.]
[In response, he patted your shoulder and told you not to blame yourself.]
[You spread your hands, indicating that you felt no guilt whatsoever…]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo: ...]
[You entered closed-door cultivation. If you could not condense your second soul core, you would not be able to emerge!]
[Your luck was excellent. After only a slight attempt, you successfully condensed your second soul core.]
Wang Li pondered thoughtfully. He had originally believed that the "Ultimate Villain" talent might be useless.
But what was an Ultimate Villain?
Without talent, without strength, without luck, could one become the Ultimate Villain?
Those who died within three chapters were merely minor supporting characters. This was the Ultimate Villain!
If you dominated an entire book and only suffered slightly in the final few hundred words, that was perfectly normal.
[You broke through to Rank 90 and emerged from seclusion.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyelids twitched. He wanted to complain but found himself at a loss for words.]
[In just over two years, you have advanced from Rank 70 to Rank 90—ten ranks per year!]
[Even at the level of a mere soul master, breakthroughs did not happen like this!]
[You originally intended to hunt a soul beast alone, but Golden Crocodile Douluo firmly refused. He believed that breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm required the utmost seriousness.]
[He summoned the Third, Sixth, and Seventh worship elders to accompany you on the hunt!]
[You: ...]
[The four of them originally assumed you would return to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the Sky Azure Bull Python.]
[Instead, you chose to head to the Extreme North. This left them puzzled.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo did not ask further. If you chose this path, you must have your reasons.]
[If Golden Crocodile Douluo did not question you, how could the Third, Sixth, and Seventh worship elders dare to?]
[You crossed the Icebound Forest and arrived at the Extreme North.]
[For Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others, this was their first visit. They were quite curious.]
[With the Icebound Forest acting as a natural barrier, very few humans could reach the Extreme North.]
[Your original target had been the Titan Snow Demon King. But with Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others accompanying you, you decided to change targets.]
[They were unfamiliar with the Extreme North. You, however, were not.]
[You traversed the outer regions of the Extreme North without encountering any powerful soul beasts.]
[Occasionally, you saw an Ice Bear, but you did not attack.]
[In the Extreme North, daylight lasted approximately one hundred and eighty days. Night lasted just as long.]
[You had no idea how long you had been walking when suddenly, the snow beneath your feet collapsed. Instinctively, you prepared to take flight but paused. It was an ice cavern.]
[As if recalling something, you did not resist and allowed yourself to fall into the cavern.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others immediately leapt in after you…]
[Moments later, you found yourself staring into the eyes of a massive worm.]
[You subconsciously said: Tianmeng?]
[The giant worm froze. It was not yet called Tianmeng. If it broke through to a million years, perhaps it would be known as the Tianmeng Iceworm.]
[After all, it had eaten and slept, slept and eaten, achieving its current cultivation age as if it had been one long dream.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others surrounded Tianmeng. They could sense that this massive worm was far from simple, and you seemed to recognize it.]
["You're humans? What do you want? Let me tell you, I'm very powerful!"]
[The Tianmeng Iceworm trembled as it spoke nonsense.]
[It could speak, so it was undoubtedly a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast!]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo and the three worship elders were overjoyed. Was this not a treasure delivered straight to their door?]
[It looked… somewhat weak, though!]
[You stroked your chin thoughtfully and fixed your gaze upon Tianmeng once more.]
[You explained your God-Creation Plan to Tianmeng. It curled its lip, utterly unconcerned.]
[You gave a wicked smile. A sandbag-sized fist gestured before it.]
[Tianmeng: ...]
[Tianmeng cooperated with your God-Creation Plan wholeheartedly. It was absolutely not because the five of you had threatened it.]
[You took out numerous heavenly treasures and immortal herbs, handing them to Tianmeng. You required it to swear an oath to the Ice God before allowing it to consume them…]
[It had not yet reached one million years. After consuming those heavenly treasures and immortal herbs, breaking through to a million-year cultivation would be only natural.]
[Tianmeng originally intended to betray you, but recalling its oath to the Ice God, it could only helplessly become your intelligent soul ring.]
[Tianmeng not only granted you a million-year soul ring, but it also bestowed upon you a million-year head soul bone, as well as a second martial soul!]
[Its origin essence had not been depleted in the slightest; that was precisely why it was able to condense a soul bone.]
