Breakthrough: Sacrifice of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast

Chapter 58 Breakthrough: Sacrifice of a Million-Year Soul Beast

In the deep and dark space, loneliness seemed to be the eternal theme, like the night before dawn, cold and empty.

Shen Hanyu released his spiritual energy and sat cross-legged casually to one side, his expression relaxed and without any sense of tension. Instead, he seemed as leisurely as if he were on vacation.

The spiritual energy here is incredibly abundant, making it a rare and precious place for quiet cultivation.

Moreover, since the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King is unwilling to show itself for some unknown reason, he naturally won't take the initiative to cause trouble. After all, he was once a powerful figure at the level of a first-level god. Even though he has been dead for countless years, no one can say for sure how much strength he still retains.

Entering this place was a dangerous decision, and it would be a lie to say that Shen Hanyu wasn't nervous. But so far, he and Tianmeng have been here for almost a month, and the Ice and Fire Dragon King has remained silent. Isn't that a kind of indirect disregard and consent?

Tianmeng was still absorbing the spiritual energy and power of heaven and earth here. A continuous stream of energy flowed into its body and then transformed into steps for it to move forward.

As time went by, the golden patterns on Tianmeng's body, which were originally dull and lifeless, gradually became brighter. Now, Tianmeng only needs one more opportunity to break through and become the first true million-year soul beast on the continent.

Although its claim of being a million-year-old soul beast is probably exaggerated, its age is still there. However, the quality of the Ice Silkworm Clan is just so-so. Other soul beasts that are a million years old can be kings and ancestors, but Tianmeng probably hasn't even experienced a million-year heavenly tribulation.

If he hadn't encountered Shen Hanyu, he probably would have been exploited by those ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest for ten thousand years, eventually suffering alongside Huo Yuhao...

As the saying goes, if you're willing to endure hardship, you'll have endless hardships to endure.

That makes a lot of sense.

…………

Tianmeng's internal energy has reached its peak, and there is a possibility of a breakthrough at any time.

Shen Hanyu stood not far away, his gaze deep and unfathomable, his body radiating a milky-white chill that was quite noticeable in the darkness.

With a crisp cracking sound, Tianmeng's body slowly floated up, and the tenth golden pattern, symbolizing a million years of cultivation, finally took shape and gently landed on Tianmeng's body.

Tianmeng also underwent a significant change at this time. Her originally enormous body shrank once again, and a golden hue appeared on her jade-like body, radiating a faint golden light and exuding a solemn aura.

The breakthrough was ridiculously easy...

Sure enough, they couldn't even be bothered to provide a heavenly tribulation...

Shen Hanyu found it somewhat amusing that a million-year-old soul beast like Tianmeng was being so disregarded. It was truly a one-of-a-kind thing.

Tianmeng suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes blazing with joy. She twisted her transformed body and quickly came to Shen Hanyu, saying with delight:

"Hanyu, I did it! I've truly become an unprecedented million-year-old soul beast! I'm about to reunite with Bingbing! Hahahaha..."

Shen Hanyu smiled faintly and replied:

"Congratulations, Tianmeng, you've finally gotten what you wanted..."

Tianmeng gratefully nuzzled against Shen Hanyu and said:

"Hanyu, it's all thanks to you. Originally, based on my cultivation speed, it would have taken me at least a long time to break through. I never thought that my dream, which would have taken me ten thousand years to achieve, could be accomplished here in just over a month. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of ungrateful person. Be prepared, I'm ready to sacrifice myself to you at any time to become your seventh spirit ring. No matter what happens in the future, I'll be with you..."

Shen Hanyu nodded solemnly and showed a sincere smile.

He could fully feel Tianmeng's sincerity; it was a complete trust, and something called friendship.

"No need to wait, we can do it now. I can't wait to have the first million-year-level spirit ring on the continent. We've been here for quite a while, so we need to act quickly."

Shen Hanyu said softly, while looking up, as if he could see the daily alternation of day and night through the deep spring water, which was incredibly wonderful.

Tianmeng nodded, raised her head with a hint of pride, and said:

"Then Hanyu, get ready! As the number one million-year-old soul beast on the continent, I'll definitely be gentle with you~ Hehehe..."

Shen Hanyu ignored Tianmeng's usual erratic behavior and continued softly:

"Remember, just focus on condensing your soul bone into your skull. I've already made arrangements for the other parts of your soul bone. And given your attributes, condensing a skull with mental attributes is naturally the best option."

Tianmeng nodded and said:

"Hanyu~ Well, I'm starting now. You'd better be prepared. My energy is enormous, so just absorb as much as you can. I'll take care of the rest."

Shen Hanyu nodded, then sat down cross-legged on the spot and waited quietly.

Tianmeng took a few steps back, countless past scenes flashing through her small eyes. Then she took a deep breath, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from her body.

The ten golden patterns seemed to come alive and began to surge wildly, enveloping Shen Hanyu from top to bottom.

Tianmeng herself transformed into streaks of white light and slowly entered Shen Hanyu's body.

Shen Hanyu's body trembled involuntarily. The energy of a million years was immense. Even though he had absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring with his sixth soul ring, absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast seemed like child's play compared to the energy from Tianmeng's million-year soul ring.

Tianmeng's deep voice also rang in Shen Hanyu's ear:

"Hanyu, calm down. Don't rush when absorbing my energy. Just focus on circulating your soul power as much as you can. I'll take care of the rest."

Shen Hanyu dared not slack off, and his soul power began to circulate at an exaggerated speed. In the end, the white halo formed by Tianmeng's body successfully entered Shen Hanyu's body without any major incident.

Tianmeng burst into laughter within Shen Hanyu's spiritual sea. Its usually carefree expression suddenly twisted into a ferocious glint as it roared:

"I'm finally free! I've been hiding for a million years. Today, let me truly let loose..."

Subsequently, a terrifying mental fluctuation surged outward from Shen Hanyu's body, so powerful that even the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well could not stop it, and it surged wildly as if boiling.

A terrifying mental fluctuation shot straight into the sky, then spread outwards across the continent.

Dugu Bo, who had been watching his granddaughter cultivate in the stone cave, was astonished. He then quickly appeared above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, feeling the spiritual power that even he couldn't resist, and muttered to himself:

"Boy, what have you done? I've lived for almost a hundred years, and a little monster like you truly makes me ashamed. I'm getting old! I'm getting old..."

Dugu Bo was also startled. Looking at the churning spring water below, his eyes were filled with complex emotions. Finally, he quietly walked back into the stone cave...

Meanwhile, in Tiandou City on the other side.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters, a handsome, refined middle-aged man was talking with two elderly men.

One of the elderly men, with white hair, possessed a cold demeanor, as sharp and terrifying as a drawn sword.

The other tall, gaunt old man was an extreme case. He exuded a dense aura of darkness, and his body seemed devoid of flesh and blood, resembling a giant skeleton. Yet, his vital energy remained strong, radiating the aura of a dragon's martial spirit.

Sensing this terrifying mental fluctuation, the three of them were startled at the same time, and then quickly walked out of the hall.

The white-haired old man gave a low shout, and a deep, yet distinct, voice rang out in everyone's ears:

"All members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, do not panic. All those within the sect, enter a state of alert. Notify disciples outside the sect to return to the sect as quickly as possible unless absolutely necessary!"

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo also quickly stepped forward, with the former asking the old man in the sky:

"Uncle Jian, can you confirm where this fluctuation is coming from?"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin slowly descended from the sky, stepping on the Seven Kill Sword. He frowned and muttered to himself:

"Who on earth could possess such powerful spiritual strength? Is it someone from the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi and the Bone Douluo beside him exchanged a glance, both seeing immense astonishment in each other's eyes.

Sword Douluo seemed to finally realize what Ning Fengzhi had just said. He looked at the sect disciples, almost all of whom were sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then said:

"Feng Zhi, old bones, the owner of this spiritual power is at least a peerless Douluo-level expert..."

Although Gu Rong was also extremely shocked, he couldn't help but ask:

"Old Swordsman, are you sure? Is there really a peerless Douluo with such strong spiritual power in this world? Why has there never been a whisper of such a thing on the continent?"

Sword Douluo, unusually, did not argue with Bone Douluo, and instead nodded quite seriously.

"My father was a level 97 Super Douluo in his lifetime, just one step away from becoming a level 98 Super Douluo. But in the face of this spiritual power, my father's spiritual power seemed insignificant. This shows that this unknown powerhouse is definitely a peerless Douluo-level expert."

Gu Rong wanted to say something, but Ning Fengzhi waved his hand to interrupt her.

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and said:

"Whether what Uncle Jian said is true or not, even the Pope of the Spirit Hall doesn't possess such terrifying mental power. The sudden appearance of such a powerful figure, I wonder if it's good or bad for the current situation on the continent..."

The two titled Douluos, Jian Gu and Bone, exchanged a glance but remained silent…

…………

The same thing happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and the Heavenly Dou royal family, and suddenly the entire Heavenly Dou City became lively.

Various sects and forces dispatched personnel to search for the source of this spiritual fluctuation. Even the Spirit Hall heard the news immediately. It is said that the Pope attached great importance to this matter and sent Chrysanthemum Douluo to lead the Spirit Hall personnel to investigate the truth that very day…

Naturally, Shen Hanyu, who was still absorbing the seventh ring of a million-year-old spirit, had no idea that Tianmeng had caused such a big incident on the continent simply by completely releasing her spiritual power.

Even if he found out, he probably wouldn't have much to say, since he now has the confidence to face the investigation and pressure from these powerful forces...
