DD2: Glory of the Unrivaled Angel

Huo Yuhao stared unblinkingly at the seemingly bottomless crevice. If he hadn't just fought desperately with the Wind Baboon and wasn't now weak and exhausted, he would have already turned and fled.

A figure emerged from the crevice. As it appeared, the moisture in the air instantly condensed into icy fog, and the frigid chill caused him to shiver uncontrollably.

"Spiritual-type Spirit Master, your Brother Skydream is here!"

The cheeky voice from before echoed once again in Huo Yuhao's mind. The figure's true form was revealed—it was a jade-white silkworm baby with ten golden patterns.

A 1,000,000-year spirit beast, the Skydream Iceworm!

As the words fell, the golden patterns on the Skydream Iceworm's back transformed into ten golden rings that swiftly enveloped Huo Yuhao's reed-thin body. The Skydream Iceworm then melted into surging streams of white light that frantically poured into his body.

The Skydream Iceworm began to merge with Huo Yuhao. At the same time, an invisible spiritual power continuously spread outward from it.

How terrifying was the spiritual power released by a 1,000,000-year spiritual-type spirit beast? In almost an instant, it covered every corner within a radius of a hundred miles. All intelligent life forms immediately fell into a stupor, as if time itself had been paused by the Skydream Iceworm.

Crack... crack...

In the silence where one could hear a pin drop, a sound like an eggshell breaking suddenly rang out.

'Hmm?'

The Skydream Iceworm split a wisp of consciousness to cautiously observe its surroundings. The fusion concerned its very life, so it had to be thoroughly prepared. It was also curious. The process of becoming an intelligent spirit ring was essentially similar to self-sacrifice, both releasing a powerful spiritual domain that even a Titled Douluo or a 100,000-year spirit beast couldn't interfere with.

In the Outer Region of Star Dou Forest, there was actually a life form that could ignore the spiritual domain?!

Without any hindrance, the Skydream Iceworm locked onto that formidable individual.

With the holy sword in hand, divine light radiated brilliantly.

Ling Bai's expression was calm. Under the radiance of the Seraphim, there was a kind of mechanical indifference when he stared at people.

'Holy cow, that's Divine Power!'

The Skydream Iceworm was dumbfounded. If it still had eyes, they would have popped out of their sockets and bounced on the ground. Ten thousand years ago, the residual waves of divine power from the battle of the Gods swept across the entire Douluo Continent. The overwhelming suppression from the essence of life left it, far away in the Extreme North, only able to cower and tremble in an ice cave.

Today, it actually encountered that familiar Divine Power again!

The Skydream Iceworm was certain that the Divine Power possessed by the young man nearby was definitely one of the four Gods from ten thousand years ago!

'Oh heavens, I just wanted to find a host to survive. How did I run into such a monster...'

The Skydream Iceworm felt like crying but had no tears. Without the protection of the spiritual domain, it and Huo Yuhao in their fusion state were no different from fish on a chopping board, only able to let Ling Bai do as he pleased.

'Please, brother, just think of the two of us as farts and let us go...'

The Skydream Iceworm prayed frantically. If possible, it even wanted to condense a spiritual body to cry and beg for mercy.

Ling Bai wasn't aware of the Skydream Iceworm's frantic inner thoughts, nor did he care, because he had absolutely no interest in this creature.

He needed the Skydream Iceworm about as much as a fish would need a bicycle.

The Seraphim wasn't a spiritual-type Martial Spirit. To him, the Skydream Iceworm was as useless as a chicken rib. As for an ice-attribute Martial Spirit...

Quality over quantity was key for Martial Spirits, not to mention he already had Twin Martial Spirits.

Ling Bai glanced at Ning Tian and Wu Feng and found that they were still motionless. His heart settled considerably. The spiritual domain lacked destructive power but could make all creatures lose consciousness for a short time.

'What happens next... it's better if they don't know.' Ling Bai thought as he watched and waited.

When the Skydream Iceworm saw that Ling Bai didn't take any action, it let out a long sigh of relief and felt as if it had narrowly escaped death. It then abruptly accelerated the fusion process and, in the Spiritual Sea, began communicating with Huo Yuhao to build rapport.

Boom—

But just then, the sky that had been perfectly clear a moment ago suddenly darkened. A thunder-like boom resounded out in the air. In that instant, the sun's brilliant rays of light were unexpectedly covered up by the darkness.

Then, an enormous pressure that caused one to be unable to even breathe descended from the sky. When the thunder-like boom resounded in the air, the Skydream Iceworm's enormous body, who was currently trying to merge with Huo Yuhao's body, violently shook for a moment. Its two small eyes rolled upward to look at the sky, and a terrified look mixed with confusion immediately appeared in them. Clearly, this oppressive force from the sky had nothing to do with it.

A very blurry figure traversed time and space to descend. An aged voice carrying an indescribable majesty rang out:

"My hand grasps the sun and moon and plucks the stars from the sky; this world has no one else like me. I didn't think that this old man would have a trace of a remnant soul left that still existed here!"

A powerful being from another world, Electrolux!

With that, Electrolux looked toward Huo Yuhao and the Skydream Iceworm. His figure drifted, seeming to want to join them and make a joyful three-way fusion.

"Old man, I was clearly here first!"

After all the hardships to find a suitable host, how could the Skydream Iceworm be willing to hand it over? Its eyes rarely showed a hint of ferocity as it manipulated its spiritual power, determined to block Electrolux!

"Senior!"

A thunderous shout interrupted Electrolux's next move. His gaze fell upon Ling Bai, and his expression changed imperceptibly for a moment.

Ling Bai spread his arms and retracted his Seraphim Martial Spirit. At this moment, faint purple-black colored lines began to appear under his exposed skin, as if something couldn't wait to burst out from beneath his flesh.

Behind him, the enormous illusory figure of a demon spider gradually solidified. Eight scarlet eyes, like giant candles, flickered in the air, emitting a chilling light. Its eight curved long legs bent and stretched as it slowly moved forward. Everywhere it passed, all things withered, turning into dust and scattering.

Screech—

The demon spider let out a piercing screech toward Electrolux. The suffocating terror rushed straight to the soul. Even the Skydream Iceworm and Huo Yuhao in the Spiritual Sea trembled and hugged each other, trying to gain a sense of security from one another.

"Death attribute..."

Electrolux was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter:

"Not bad, not bad at all! This old man is known as the Calamity Necromancer. It seems, little one, we are fated!"

In Electrolux's eyes, Huo Yuhao was just a small fry with a spiritual attribute, while Ling Bai was a junior of the same attribute. His choice was clear.

Ling Bai opened up his Spiritual Sea and smoothly accepted Electrolux within.

'Finally settled...'

With the plan successfully executed, Ling Bai let out a long sigh of relief. With Electrolux's assistance in the future, the problems with his second Martial Spirit should be properly resolved.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao and the Skydream Iceworm had also just completed their fusion. The spiritual domain dissipated, and the surrounding time and space began to be restored.

"Xiao Yuhao, go pick up my shed skin. The shed skin of a 1,000,000-year spirit beast is an extremely rare treasure in the world!"

In the Spiritual Sea, the Skydream Iceworm lazily instructed Huo Yuhao while lounging in a relaxed posture.

"Um, Brother Skydream..."

Huo Yuhao said meekly, "Is your shed skin like a white membrane?"

"Mm, what's up?"

"Nothing, it's just that someone took it…"
