The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Inside a huge cavern beneath the Lake of Life, a purplish-black dragon was coiled on a rock, its eyes closed as if asleep.
Before it, within a pale purple transparent cover was an ice silkworm, its entire body crystalline, adorned with nine golden Pattern .
Several purple bands of light connected to the ice silkworm, binding it and restricting its movements.
The ice silkworm glanced at the purple dragon with its small, crafty eyes, slowly crawling outwards.
It cautiously touched the purple shield, which immediately emitted a special surge of soul power, and the purple dragon abruptly opened its eyes.
The enormous dragon eyes looked down at the ice silkworm, and a melodious female voice sounded from its mouth: "What do you want to do?"
"Ah, I'm just too bored, stretching my body a little. How about you make this shield a bit bigger? It's so small, I reach the end in a few steps, and it's hard for me to move around. Also, these bands are too short, make them longer, and I promise I won't run away." There was a somewhat cheeky feeling in the Skydream Ice Silkworm's voice.
"Stop trying to play tricks on me." Ziji glared at it.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Di Tian and the others in a while. Where did they go? Could it be that the human named Amon hasn't been killed yet? Or did they go to deal with the soul beast that triggered the Great Heavenly Tribulation? I haven't seen the Auspicious Beast either... Last time you guys were so angry... It wasn't killed by humans and turned into a soul ring, was it?"
"Shut up!" Having her sore spot touched, Ziji glared at it fiercely.
"You're getting anxious, you're getting anxious... Could it be that I guessed right? Haha, serves you right, letting you treat me as food, now you're getting your comeuppance." Skydream chattered on.
Ziji's expression suddenly calmed down, "Di Tian and the others have gone to war with humans, and their physical condition won't be too good when they return... I won't harm you, you should recuperate well, and prepare to bleed a lot when the time comes."
The Skydream Ice Silkworm's laughter came to an abrupt halt. Although Di Tian and the others squeezed its soul power, they wouldn't go too far, because their absorption ability was limited, and they wouldn't use too much each time.
But if it was used for recovery after being injured, the demand for its soul power would definitely increase greatly. It still remembered that after Di Tian fought with the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, Biji treated him, which consumed a lot, and then Biji compensated from it, extracting a large amount of its soul power in a short period of time.
And the same thing happened two years ago. Every time Di Tian was injured, Skydream had to suffer a tribulation.
Skydream stopped talking, and Ziji also lowered her head again, entering sleep.
After confirming that Di Tian and the others were not currently in the Star Dou Great Forest, it decided to take advantage of this opportunity to try to escape. Anyway, even if it was caught back, it would at most be tortured a little, but staying here all the time would only lead to death.
During this period of time, the Skydream Ice Silkworm had understood the function of this purple shield through continuous probing. First, like the bands of light on its body, it restricted its movement, and second, it would sound an alarm when touched.
After waiting for a while, using its mental power to confirm that Ziji had fallen asleep, the Skydream Ice Silkworm began to act.
It first permeated its powerful mental power out of the shield to shield the alarm when it was touched, and then, it distorted its body, and a golden pattern on its body lit up, like a silkworm biting mulberry leaves, severing those bands of light.
The Skydream Ice Silkworm carefully crawled onto the shield and began to devour the shield in the same way. The hardness of the shield seemed to be much higher than the bands of light, and it gnawed very slowly.
The hole in the shield became bigger and bigger... Almost there, almost there... I'm about to regain my freedom, Skydream was extremely excited.
Just as it was about to gnaw out a large enough hole, Skydream's movements suddenly froze, and something extremely evil and terrifying appeared in its spiritual perception.
That terrifying evil being was rushing towards this side. According to Skydream Ice Silkworm's estimation, Ziji would definitely not be a match for that monster.
"Ziji, wake up, wake up, wake up quickly, damn it, stop sleeping, if you keep sleeping we're all going to be finished, quickly take me and run!" The Skydream Ice Silkworm let out a terrified scream.
Awakened by its shouting, Ziji opened her eyes and saw that Skydream had unknowingly gnawed a big hole in the shield. Shocked, she immediately activated her soul power to repair the shield completely.
"It seems that I've been too nice to you these days. If I don't discipline you, you won't settle down." She said with some annoyance.
"Fool, can't you use your brain to think about why I would wake you up when I'm about to escape? There's no time, quickly take me and run, otherwise, we'll all die... There's a very scary guy approaching."
"What do you mean?" There was a hint of doubt in Ziji's eyes, because the Skydream Ice Silkworm gave her the feeling of being a somewhat cunning fellow, so she didn't believe it.
"Your mental power is not enough, you can't sense it, but I can... Anyway, just take me and run quickly."
Ziji remained unmoved, and Skydream was so anxious that it was about to cry.
A man with long green hair and dark green eyes walked in. Seeing him, a hint of joy appeared on Ziji's face: "Myriad Demon King, you're back. Does that mean the matter on the Human Empire's side is over?"
The Myriad Demon King shook his head: "Not yet, but it's almost over. Di Tian has already signed an agreement with the two great human empires, and they will assist us in jointly hunting down Amon."
"It's just that the High Priest of the Angel God in Spirit Hall City has a great prejudice against us soul beasts. He strongly resists this matter, and the humans are also very concerned about his attitude. Therefore, Di Tian is still in a stalemate with him in Spirit Hall City."
"It seems that the day to reclaim the power of destiny that belongs to our Star Dou Great Forest is not far away." Zi Ji breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the anxiety in her heart eased a lot.
Skydream Ice Silkworm lay there, trembling, with fear in its eyes, muttering to itself: "It's over, it's all over..."
In its vision, it clearly saw a transparent and illusory figure wrapped around the body of the Myriad Demon King!
That was a young man wearing a black robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye. He had hands and feet, but like a python, he distorted and wrapped around the Myriad Demon King, his head propped up behind the Myriad Demon King's head!
The young man seemed to notice that Skydream Ice Silkworm could see him, and gave it a smile.
Zi Ji, this stupid dragon, is unreliable... What to do? What should I do? Skydream Ice Silkworm felt a great threat and strong malice from that ghost-like transparent figure.
It suddenly remembered that there was also a mysterious "Lord" in the Star Dou Great Forest, even Di Tian had to bow his head to him, that was the true co-owner of the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
That's right, I can use mental power to wake it up and let it deal with this ghost thing... Skydream thought.
It was about to unleash its mental power to cause a shock, so that the "Lord" would notice it here, but suddenly it noticed a black light flashing past quickly.
Then, everything around changed.
They arrived at a huge circular arena, with twelve pillars evenly distributed around it.
The distant gray mist was filled, and it was not clear. Everything had a sense of haziness. Only the towering pillars, more massive than the mountains, stood in the distance. Judging from the shape, it seemed to be an enlarged version of the pillars around the circular arena.
Zi Ji's face changed: "Where is this? Myriad Demon King, what do you mean?"
"Stupid woman, you stupid woman, you've killed me! I told you to take me and run quickly just now, but you had to dawdle. Now it's all over, we're all going to die here." Skydream Ice Silkworm cursed loudly, "Look at what's in front of you?"
After being reminded by it, Zi Ji looked up at the pillar in front.
At the top of that pillar, a huge tiger with a black body, wings on its back, and a tail composed of countless bone segments, with barbs at the end, was licking its paws, leisurely looking at itself.
"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" A look of fear appeared on Zi Ji's face, "How is it possible? A ferocious beast-level Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"
"Alas... it's all over now. This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger won't treat me like Di Tian and the others when it catches me. It eats soul beasts without hesitation. As expected, heaven is jealous of talent. It's a pity that I'm in the prime of my life, and I'm going to die young like this." Skydream Ice Silkworm sighed over there.
"You've lived for nearly a million years, it doesn't count as dying young."
A man wearing a black robe and a monocle sat on the edge of the pillar where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was, stroked his monocle, and said with a chuckle.
"It's you... Amon!" Zi Ji gritted her teeth, she turned her head to look at the Myriad Demon King again:
"You joined forces with him and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? You are simply seeking skin from a tiger!
Do you think you have the strength to cooperate with them equally? Wolves will not cooperate with sheep. Be careful that you will eventually become food for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
Skydream Ice Silkworm shook its head: "Zi Ji, don't be silly, this is not the Myriad Demon King... or rather, he has been controlled by someone, by that weird guy wearing a monocle."
It used its mental power to communicate directly with Zi Ji in her mind:
"Your mental power is not strong enough, and you don't have the talent to see through disguises... The souls of the Myriad Demon King and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger are controlled by that guy named Amon. It seems to be some kind of parasite-like ability..."
"Let's join forces, you help me block those two guys, I have a way to eliminate the parasites in their bodies and lift the control."
"Okay." Zi Ji nodded.
She understood that she couldn't cope with the current situation at all, and could only place her hope on Skydream Ice Silkworm.
Although this big worm is a bit weak in combat, it is still a million-year-old soul beast after all, and it should have some special methods. And it said that what controls the Myriad Demon King and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger are parasite-like things... They are all worms, so it might have a good way... Zi Ji thought secretly in her heart.
A strong mental wave suddenly appeared on Skydream Ice Silkworm's body, and Amon's eyes narrowed slightly.
He snapped his fingers, and the Myriad Demon King launched an attack.
A emerald green light bloomed behind the Myriad Demon King, and a phantom of a Demonic Eye Tree emerged. Thousands of branches stretched out from the phantom and turned into substance, attacking Zi Ji.
The dark purple giant dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a dark purple dragon breath with strong corrosiveness, burning all the branches to ashes.
A powerful mental force centered on Skydream Ice Silkworm and spread out around it.
This mental force continued to vibrate, turning into a terrifying mental storm. The Myriad Demon King was the first to bear the brunt and was hit head-on.
Amon's face changed, and the "Worm of Time" in the Myriad Demon King's body distorted its body, making a painful wail, and died one after another.
