A dazzling million-year-old golden spirit ring floated in the ice cave, radiating energy waves as warm and boundless as the sun, illuminating the entire dark ice cave with a golden splendor.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Zhen took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the cold, hard ground.
He adjusted his internal soul power, concentrated his mental energy, and then activated the huge golden soul ring.
"Buzz—!"
As if summoned, the golden spirit ring slowly descended and landed precisely on Jiang Zhen.
In an instant, a surge of energy far exceeding that of absorbing the Demon Emperor's soul ring rushed into his body!
This energy was extremely special. It was not as violent and domineering as the Demon Emperor's Soul Ring. Instead, it was unusually gentle and profound, like a warm ocean, instantly enveloping his limbs, bones, meridians, and dantian.
However, beneath this gentle appearance lies a terrifying foundation, with a total amount spanning millions of years and seemingly inexhaustible!
The impact of the energy infusion caused Jiang Zhen's body to sway slightly, but he quickly steadied himself and focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation technique, frantically guiding and refining this massive amount of energy.
Just as Jiang Zhen predicted, the most threatening thing about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a soul beast that mainly cultivates spiritual power, is its Soul Impact!
Shortly after the energy surged in, a massive, pure spiritual torrent, yet carrying lingering emotions of bewilderment, fear, and resentment, violently crashed into Jiang Zhen's spirit!
This is the instinctive backlash of the remaining spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!
The sheer magnitude of this mental shock was terrifying; the accumulation of millions of years was no small matter, enough to instantly shatter the mental defenses of the vast majority of Title Douluos.
However, its "quality" is relatively loose, lacking effective cohesion and aggression, and is more like a chaotic spiritual tsunami.
Jiang Zhen groaned, his brows furrowing instantly, a look of pain appearing on his face.
His mind felt as if it had been pierced by millions of ice needles at the same time, and countless noisy murmurs echoed in his mind, trying to disturb his mind.
"Hmph, all talk and no action!"
Jiang Zhen sneered inwardly.
His mental strength has been tempered many times, making it incredibly resilient and refined.
Faced with this chaotic mental tsunami, his sea of consciousness remained as steadfast as an ancient reef!
The powerful spiritual energy condensed autonomously, transforming into solid barriers that firmly resisted the chaotic impact and began to rapidly decompose, absorb, and assimilate it, transforming it into nourishment for its own spiritual origin.
The pain on his face quickly faded, replaced by calm, and even a hint of enjoyment.
The process of absorbing this mental shock was actually a great tonic for him.
Beside him, Bing Di , who was stroking the two front claws and preparing to bite the plump body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, happened to catch the fleeting look of pain on Jiang Zhen's face.
Her movements subconsciously paused, a hint of tension and worry, which she herself was unaware of, flashed in her emerald green scorpion eyes as she stared intently at Jiang Zhen, even temporarily forgetting the delicious food that was about to be in her mouth.
Only when he saw Jiang Zhen's expression quickly return to calm, his aura surging yet stable and orderly, and the golden soul ring landing steadily beside him, did Bing Di secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, you scared me... Looks like everything's alright now."
She muttered to herself, unable to suppress her desire for the silkworm meat that contained the essence of millions of years.
A flash of emerald light appeared on Bing Di 's body, and her figure rapidly changed, transforming from a delicate humanoid girl into her incomparably powerful true form—the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!
It is about 1.5 meters long, and the front part of its body is covered with four layers of carapace that look like a fusion of ice crystals and jade. Each piece of carapace has a perfect hexagonal protrusion and shimmers with a hard and brilliant luster.
Its head is located at the very front, and its silvery-white mouthparts exude a chilling aura.
The six long, powerful legs were also covered with hexagonal protrusions.
The most eye-catching feature is its pair of front claws, which are a meter long!
The claws are thick and covered with diamond-like hexagonal protrusions, but the frontmost pincers are smooth and sharp, silvery-white like a mirror, as if they could easily crush the hardest objects in the world.
Her eyes were yellow, hexagonal compound eyes, gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
Behind it, the long tail was divided into five segments, each segment a lustrous, emerald green, tapering towards the rear. The chilling hook at the end of the tail also shimmered with a mirror-like silvery-white luster, containing a deadly, extremely cold poison.
When Bing Di transformed into her true form, her aura became even colder and fiercer, filled with the majesty of a top predator.
She eagerly climbed onto the enormous body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and its pair of huge front pincers clamped down precisely and powerfully!
"Crack!"
The seemingly tough outer skin of the ice silkworm was easily torn open like paper by her pair of indestructible pincers, revealing the crystal-clear, plump silkworm flesh underneath, which contained unimaginable pure energy.
Bing Di immediately buried himself in his work, his silvery-white mandibles opening and closing, tearing and devouring the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
With each bite, an extremely pure ice-attribute energy surged into her body, making her feel so comfortable that she almost gurgled, and her scorpion tail swayed gently with pleasure.
This was undoubtedly an unprecedented feast for her!
Time passed slowly as Bing Di feasted and Jiang Zhen absorbed the knowledge.
Two and a half hours later.
The brilliant golden light inside the ice cave gradually receded and eventually merged completely into Jiang Zhen's body.
His surging aura gradually subsided, becoming even more profound and vast.
Jiang Zhen slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light appearing in them. He exhaled a long breath of turbid air carrying an icy aura, which instantly condensed into a layer of white frost on the ice wall in front of him.
He carefully examined his internal state, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
His soul power level actually soared to level 78 in one go!
The energy contained in a million-year soul ring is simply enormous!
What terrified him even more was his seventh soul skill – Martial Soul True Body!
For an ordinary Soul Master, a Martial Soul True Body that can amplify their power by 300% is already invincible.
His Martial Soul True Body, which originated from a million-year-old Soul Ring, had an amplification rate of an astonishing 800%!
This is a number that would leave any Soul Master speechless!
Once unleashed, his overall strength will rise to an unimaginable level, truly giving him the ability to challenge Super Douluo or even Limit Douluo!
Just as he was basking in the joy of his sudden increase in strength, he heard a rustling sound of chewing coming from the side.
He turned his head and saw that the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was eating with great relish, each of its two huge front claws holding a large piece of crystal-clear silkworm meat, gnawing on it with great pleasure.
Nearly a third of the mountain-sized body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had already been eaten.
Seemingly noticing Jiang Zhen's awakened gaze, Bing Di slowed down her chewing.
She raised her pair of yellow, hexagonal compound eyes, looked at Jiang Zhen, then at the flesh she was gripping in her two pincers, and seemed to hesitate for a moment.
Then, somewhat awkwardly and tentatively, she held one of her pincers slightly towards Jiang Zhen, her mouth still full of meat, and mumbled indistinctly:
"Would you...want some? The taste...burp...is pretty good..."
Seeing the bizarre yet strangely adorable scene of the giant scorpion sharing its food, Jiang Zhen was first taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "Thank you, but you can have it."
Upon hearing this, Bing Di seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, immediately retracting its pincers and continuing to devour its food.
But the scorpion's tail, swaying a little faster, seemed to reveal a rare, subtle feeling she had just experienced after sharing food...
