Chapter 188: Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's Plan, Fusing into the Seventh Soul Ring
After killing Yue Guan, Chu Chen conveniently cleared out everyone from Spirit Hall present there before heading towards Heaven Dou City.
A hundred miles was nothing but a moment for Chu Chen. Heaven Dou City appeared unchanged, but as soon as Chu Chen arrived, he was locked onto by a terrifying force!
"Roar—!"
A roar erupted. In the space ahead, a massive golden crocodile swung its heavy, powerful tail, causing the air along its path to explode on the spot.
"Golden Crocodile King?!"
Chu Chen's eyes narrowed. He immediately brandished the Destruction Dragon Spear at the Golden Crocodile King. The two collided, and a massive force slammed into the air between them.
"It's you?"
Gold Crocodile Douluo appeared. Upon seeing Chu Chen and Dugu Bo, he realized that the youth before him must be the Chu Chen that Qian Renxue had spoken of, so he lowered his guard.
"Gold Crocodile Douluo, why are you here?" Chu Chen asked.
"The High Priest sent me to hold down the fort in Heaven Dou City while the Young Lord is away. Bibi Dong's ambition has been exposed, and we cannot let her succeed."
Gold Crocodile Douluo crossed his arms, speaking with a calm expression.
"So that's how it is..."
Chu Chen nodded and lowered his guard as well. It seemed Gold Crocodile Douluo had previously mistaken their group for troops sent by Bibi Dong.
The former Heaven Dou Imperial Palace had now been changed into Heaven Dou City, or rather, the highest administrative department of the Heaven Dou Empire. With Qian Renxue's help, Chu Chen's identity had been accepted by everyone here.
Those who could be left here by Qian Renxue were all her trusted confidants, so naturally, they trusted Chu Chen as well...
"Mr. Chu Chen." Someone stepped forward and said.
"How is the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire recently?" Chu Chen asked.
Gold Crocodile Douluo spoke up from the side: "Bibi Dong has completely separated the forces controlled by the The Pope's Palace and has launched a war against the two great Empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo. She has gathered the forces of the The Pope's Palace and several Sects. Within the territory of Heaven Dou City, several cities have already fallen."
Chu Chen's gaze grew colder.
This Bibi Dong finally could not hold back any longer and wanted to launch a war directly.
"She realized that Qian Renxue intends to control the Heaven Dou Empire herself. This made it clear to Bibi Dong that Qian Renxue's power would eventually reach an equilibrium with hers, or even surpass her."
After confirming that the Heaven Dou Empire was safe, Chu Chen went alone to the highest building in Heaven Dou City. He gazed into the distance, seemingly contemplating what to do next...
"I must complete the Goddess of Life's assessment as soon as possible. Destroying Sea God Island... the Seven Holy Pillar Douluo are nothing to fear."
"The only one I need to worry about... is High Priestess Poseidon."
Just as Chu Chen finished speaking, his Ice and Fire Dragon Wings bloomed uncontrollably behind him. Then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm appeared from within, gazing at Chu Chen with immense excitement.
"Chu Chen... are you a successor of a Divinity?"
Watching Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's impatient demeanor, Chu Chen could not help but smile and say: "That's right."
"Hehe! Brother has an idea, and it's a great Opportunity for you. Want to hear it??"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had a sudden inspiration. This chance for eternal life was right before its eyes!!!
If it became Chu Chen's intelligent Soul Ring, it wouldn't need to worry about facing the nearly impossible million-year Soul Beast tribulation at all; it would become a god directly.
"Tell me about it." Chu Chen nodded, playing along.
"Hehe, although you aren't Ice-attributed or Mental-attributed, your Spiritual Power is very strong, having reached the Titled Douluo Realm. You also possess Twin Martial Souls, so you will definitely be able to withstand it."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm began to continue "brainwashing" Chu Chen.
"My situation is special; I probably won't be able to survive the million-year tribulation. When that time comes, I'll be dead anyway. It's better to follow you; perhaps I can even become a god and achieve eternal life!"
"Therefore, I am willing to voluntarily become your intelligent Soul Ring when your second Martial Soul needs its seventh Soul Ring. This is a 990,000-year-level Soul Ring!"
Chu Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. This big worm was actually somewhat clever.
"You know that my second Martial Soul follows the path of ultimate destruction, which is why you chose the seventh Soul Ring, right?" Chu Chen said with a smile.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded and said earnestly: "That's for sure. No matter what attributes or characteristics the seventh Soul Ring has, the Soul Skill it grants will definitely be the Avatar of Martial Soul."
"So, even though our attributes aren't perfectly compatible, I won't affect your second Martial Soul's Soul Skill. Furthermore, a seventh Soul Ring near the million-year level will cause your innate Domain..."
"To undergo a qualitative change!"
What Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said was indeed true. Chu Chen felt that this method was perfectly feasible, but... wouldn't that mean Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would be imposing an unformed third Martial Soul on him?!
"However... there is one problem..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expression immediately became troubled: "Although this method is good... if that happens, I might be imposing an unformed third Martial Soul on you."
"As far as I know, there has never been anyone with three Martial Souls!"
Chu Chen: "..."
In normal times, he might not mind having a third Martial Soul. After all, who wouldn't want to possess another Martial Soul as long as there's no conflict? But...
"My path is already fixed: Life and Destruction. If you were to add an Ice-attributed third Martial Soul to me... even if I could prevent conflicts between the Martial Souls, it would make my path no longer pure."
"Decisiveness is key; it's not always better to have more of everything." Chu Chen said decisively. With his current power, he wouldn't care about having one more Soul Ring. Even if he could obtain the Ice Empress as his third Martial Soul with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's help.
"That is also what I wanted to say... so I have decided to take the power characteristics of applying the Martial Soul, along with a Soul Bone I will bring you, and fuse them directly into your Ice-attributed External Soul Bone."
Chu Chen: "?" This big worm has a Soul Bone too?
Oh right... ten thousand years later, the Origin Qi of the world had been sucked dry, which is why Soul Bones could not condense. Now it is ten thousand years ago; Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can certainly bring a Soul Bone to Chu Chen!
"Hehe, human, what do you think?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Chu Chen smiled. Having a nearly million-year-level seventh Soul Ring would definitely be a massive boost for Chu Chen. Then, for the God of Destruction's assessment... he would only need to add two more Soul Rings to the Ancient Dragon of Destruction Martial Soul, and that would be enough!
"Wait... I sense a murderous intent approaching..." His expression changed.
