Inside the cave, Ziji stared at Skydream Ice Silkworm and asked, "Quick, tell me, how did you survive the Great Heavenly Tribulation?"
Ziji had already undergone two Heavenly Tribulations, each time being a near-death experience. Even with the protection of a Auspicious Beast, she had no confidence in surviving the next Heavenly Tribulation, let alone after losing the Auspicious Beast.
Upon hearing that Skydream Ice Silkworm had experience in surviving the Great Heavenly Tribulation, she immediately had ideas. Even if soul beasts were different from each other, there should still be something to learn from it.
Skydream Ice Silkworm stammered and didn't speak.
Ziji revealed her true form, transforming into a dark purple giant dragon. She opened her large mouth and viciously tore off a small piece of flesh from Skydream Ice Silkworm's body: "Speak quickly."
A bloody gap appeared on the crystal-clear silkworm body, which quickly healed.
"Aww!" Skydream Ice Silkworm let out a miserable cry, "Don't bite, don't bite anymore, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
He hesitated for a long time before saying in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum:
"I was scared unconscious, and when I woke up, the Heavenly Tribulation was gone. Maybe it thought I was dead... In short, it just didn't come down."
Ziji, who had transformed back into human form, wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth, dumbfounded: "It can be like this?"
… … … …
Having just split off, with half a level of soul power and half a share of the soul, Amon looked at the increasingly intense aura of destruction in the sky with a wooden expression.
He adjusted his monocle and took out a dark golden, fist-sized head soul bone from his space ring. This was the soul bone left behind by the Auspicious Beast.
Amon had been hesitating whether to use it as nourishment for his "monocle" or whether his main body should absorb it in a normal way.
Now, he decided to take a gamble. Although the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be stuck in a bug, neither descending nor dissipating, and was unlikely to truly take shape, it wasn't a solution to have such a large cloud hanging over him.
On the premise of not endangering his life and not affecting major strategic plans, Amon was still very adventurous.
Moreover, the reward for completely upgrading the external soul bone to a million-year quality was worth taking a slight risk.
Gray soul power circulated, and under the erosion of this power, the dark golden skull was also dyed gray. Then, the soul bone gradually melted and merged with him.
The clone couldn't normally absorb ordinary soul bones, but it could absorb those that had been eroded and assimilated by the "martial soul external soul bone," because the essence of the clone was a part of Amon's martial soul that had been separated, a martial soul that had left the body.
After assimilating the Auspicious Beast's soul bone, the special "destiny" attribute was also inherited by Amon's external soul bone.
Like fusing with ordinary soul bones, it didn't retain any skills, but it gave Amon's external soul bone the characteristic of "not being Chained by the rules of the world and being able to improve indefinitely."
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared, and the aura of destruction that filled the entire world receded, making all soul beasts feel relieved.
One of Amon's avatars next to the main body immediately stole the "Destiny Trojan Horse" from the main body, and then activated the ability of the "Destiny Trojan Horse," stealing the destiny of this clone, so that the martial soul bone also transferred over.
The main body assimilated and absorbed this clone, replenishing the soul loss caused by splitting the clone, and the martial soul bone also returned to the main body.
And the avatars in the Star Dou Great Forest ran wildly out of the Star Dou Great Forest almost at the same time.
He had already noticed the terrifying spirit of the Silver Dragon King sweeping across the entire Star Dou Great Forest, so of course he couldn't leave a large number of avatars in such a dangerous place.
"Huh? It disappeared?" In the cave, Skydream Ice Silkworm looked up blankly, his small eyes revealing doubt and confusion:
"The Great Heavenly Tribulation didn't come down. Is it another pathetic weakling? Alas, I wanted to see Di Tian beaten to a pulp."
Upon hearing this, Ziji's eyes lit up. Without the slightest hesitation, she rushed out of the cave and transformed into a huge dark purple dragon.
A million-year soul beast like Skydream, who was utterly useless in battle, was an excellent food source. It could make up to a certain extent for the loss of the Auspicious Beast by the ferocious beasts, which slowed down their cultivation speed.
The lithe dragon rushed out of the water, cutting through the sky like black lightning. Large clusters of water splashed, like a flower blooming in the heart of the lake.
She soared high into the sky, then swooped down, skimming over the treetops, instantly flying several kilometers.
She came to the center of the Heavenly Tribulation just now, scanned the surroundings, and found no suspicious soul beasts. After circling and hovering for a long time, she reluctantly let out a low roar and turned back.
After escaping the Star Dou Great Forest, the Amons, located in different places and doing different things, stopped what they were doing and, with a hint of ritualism, simultaneously crushed their original monocles and picked out a crystal monocle from the void again.
Look at this transparent lens, hard yet resilient, the round arc is so beautiful, simple and unadorned yet stylish.
Amon put on the new monocle, adjusted its position in different postures, and felt particularly happy.
The monocle brought by the million-year soul skill is just different!
The soul skill provided by a million-year quality soul bone can almost be described as a "divine skill."
Now, even without using "Invincible Golden Body," he could allow most ordinary Title Douluos to be helpless just by using his own substantialized soul power for defense.
Of course, if it was just a single Worm of Time Amon clone, it could withstand a Title Douluo for a while, but it would eventually be defeated.
Due to the Silver Dragon King's mental scan, Amon became more cautious and dared not underestimate the Star Dou Great Forest because of the departure of the ferocious beasts.
"Was that Skydream or the Silver Dragon King just now?" one Amon said uncertainly.
"It's possible, should we go and find out first? Whether it's Skydream or the Silver Dragon King, they are excellent targets and may bring the power of 'blasphemy'."
"No, it's too early, it's not suitable at this stage. It will be much easier to complete the next goal and then make arrangements."
An Amon conference was held, and each clone expressed their views. Finally, they came to the conclusion:
In order to avoid bringing unknown effects, they would temporarily not disturb the existence hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest that represented a huge destiny.
Although the results of the All-Amon referendum did not approve of raiding the Star Dou Great Forest now, they did not object to continuing the hunt.
However, they changed from the previous blatant approach and only entered a small number of avatars each time, adopting a small-scale, high-frequency hunting method. This method was far less efficient than at the beginning, but it was safer.
… … … …
After a day of rushing, the White Tiger Army arrived under the city of Liuyun riding soul beasts.
An Amon sat on the city wall, hand on the arrow stack, legs hanging in the air, without the slightest duke image.
Two Hell Demon Dragons flew and circled in the air, letting out roars that aroused fear and unease in the guarding soldiers.
Standing on top of a Hell Demon Dragon, the Myriad Demon King looked at the Amon below, a hint of coldness in his dark green eyes:
"You're everywhere, it seems Di Tian was right. If we don't force the humans to compromise and let them strangle you together, I'm afraid we really won't be able to find your main body."
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts had always thought that Amon's avatars were troublesome, but there must be a main body. As long as they killed the main body, they could completely solve the problem.
Letting humans also search for Amon's whereabouts could greatly increase the probability of finding the main body.
What they didn't know was that after obtaining the "Destiny Trojan Horse" ability, Amon's "main body" could be transferred to a clone at any time, and even if he was careless for a moment and didn't have time to transfer, the will of the main body would also revive in the clone. Their efforts were ultimately in vain.
"Heh... you're very confident. It seems that the multiple deaths of the avatars have left you with a weak impression of me," Amon said with a chuckle, pinching his monocle.
The Myriad Demon King's pupils shrank... What, what does that mean? Could it be that this time it's not a clone, but the main body? So lucky, he forced his main body to show up so quickly? No, no, you can't believe a single punctuation mark of this guy's words!
But what if? What if this is the main body? He looked at Amon with suspicion, with deep vigilance in his eyes.
You must know that along with the Auspicious Beast, the Scarlet King also died!
Although listening to the Soft Bone Rabbit's description, the other party probably used some unconventional means, the Myriad Demon King didn't dare to risk it himself.
Since he could kill the Scarlet King, then the other party might use the same means to kill himself! The only one who could be sure not to fear this method was Di Tian, otherwise the other party would have no need to escape at all, and could just kill all the soul beasts that hindered him.
Therefore, the Myriad Demon King cautiously did not act himself, but looked at Wei Zhaowu, who understood.
He waved his hand and gave the order to attack the city. A melodious bugle call sounded, carrying an inspiring melody.
The White Tiger Army warriors had already jumped off the soul beasts. On the battlefield, sitting on the soul beasts would only affect their performance.
The role of these "cavalry" was actually just to ride the soul beasts to the battlefield, leaving others with the feeling that these soul beasts had been tamed by the Star Luo Empire.
Two-legged flying dragons swooped down from the sky. Looking at the terrifying giant beasts, the defenders of the Heaven Dou Empire all showed fear on their faces.
These types of soul beasts were particularly ugly, with jagged teeth exposed outside their lips, a pair of large eyes like dead fish, and their heads covered with fleshy lumps of various sizes.
"Meteor Volcano!" A delicate shout rang out.
A heat wave erupted, and rolling magma poured out as if endlessly, imprinting the entire city wall in red.
Volcanic bombs flew into the sky, as dense as raindrops.
The flying dragons' dive speed was already astonishing. Caught off guard, they crashed head-on into the equally fast volcanic bombs, wailing and screaming as they fell from the sky.
Looking at the familiar move, a trace of hatred flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Yan Jin!"
Zhu Zhuqing's body couldn't help but tremble beside him, the psychological shadow left by the Soul Master Competition had not yet been eliminated.
PS: Regarding the age of Skydream, the age of the soul beast is cultivation, not the time of survival. Squeezed by the ferocious beasts, Skydream should not have improved in the past ten thousand years. He said, "Only the golden lines on my body can calculate the time of my existence."
So I set it to Skydream's cultivation had already reached the level of a million years, but the golden lines only grow according to the time of survival, and the racial talent to hide the breath is also obtained over time. At the same time, this is also his special talent to hide from the rules of the world.
