Douluo: Peerless Beastmaster King

Zhou Sichen calmed his mind and focused entirely on merging with the Skydream Iceworm. Forget about Electrolux—just the power granted by the Skydream Iceworm alone was enough to propel his future growth to unprecedented heights.

He couldn't help but wonder whether the God King Tang San would notice the anomaly in the Douluo Continent and treat him like a stray dog to be disciplined.

However, Zhou Sichen was naturally rebellious. If Tang San did decide to intervene, he could feign compliance for the time being. Then, once he had grown strong enough, he would repay the favor—with interest.

Or he could simply defy the heavens and the earth and charge straight at him.

A dog? He had never been one in his past life, and he certainly wouldn't be one in this one!

As Zhou Sichen pondered, the intense white light radiating from the Skydream Iceworm gradually solidified, slowly pouring into his body.

At the same time, the Skydream Iceworm's physical form became increasingly transparent, its size shrinking rapidly.

Zhou Sichen's entire body took on a jade-white hue, resembling the Skydream Iceworm itself. His already strikingly handsome features now appeared even more flawless, as if his skin had become as delicate as silk.

As the fusion neared completion, the Skydream Iceworm's voice grew softer with satisfaction.

"Either way, I'm finally free! Those bastards who saw me as nothing more than food—your chance is gone! Wahahaha!"

Simultaneously, the immense spiritual power that had once spread over a hundred-mile radius rapidly retracted and eventually vanished.

Deep within the Star Dou Forest, several terrifying auras fluctuated violently, as though they had sensed something. But their efforts would ultimately be in vain.

The moment the Skydream Iceworm's voice completely faded, Zhou Sichen—who had been sitting on the Ice Jade Scorpion's back—underwent a transformation.

A unique energy signature emerged from his body, but it wasn't from his Martial Soul, the Book of Contracts. Instead, it came from his second Martial Soul—his body itself.

That's right. Just as the Skydream Iceworm had previously detected, Zhou Sichen's second Martial Soul was a perfect, flawless body.

In this era, a powerful sect known as the Body Sect existed, consisting entirely of soul masters who wielded Body Martial Souls. However, none had a Martial Soul quite like Zhou Sichen's—his entire body was his Martial Soul.

Even among the Body Sect, where most Body Martial Souls manifested as torsos or skin, Zhou Sichen's Martial Soul was in an entirely different league. If the sect discovered his existence, they would go mad.

Even disregarding its unique qualities, just the fact that his Body Martial Soul rivaled that of the current sect master, Du Busi, would have been enough for the Body Sect to treat him as their own flesh and blood.

At that moment, a radiant white soul ring silently emerged around Zhou Sichen's body.

This was his first soul ring as a Body Martial Soul user—

The first million-year-level soul ring in the history of the Douluo Continent!

The power it granted him was immense, giving his Body Martial Soul a clear developmental direction.

Zhou Sichen slowly opened his eyes, a confident smile curling at his lips.

"So this is the power of the Wisdom Soul Ring?"

The Skydream Iceworm's voice echoed smugly in his mind.

"Now you understand how strong I am, don't you? But why don't you look surprised at all? Something feels… off here…"

The Skydream Iceworm tried to peer into Zhou Sichen's memories, but to no avail. Only after fully merging did it realize just how terrifying Zhou Sichen's two Martial Souls truly were.

A perfect, flawless Body Martial Soul… yet despite only being at Rank 37, Zhou Sichen's spiritual power was absurdly strong, comparable to that of a Soul King!

Even more frightening was Zhou Sichen's absolute control over his spiritual sea. He was merely a Soul Elder, yet he had complete dominance over his own consciousness, preventing even a million-year-old soul beast like the Skydream Iceworm from probing his mind.

The Skydream Iceworm disliked not understanding its host. Without that connection, it couldn't fully align its will with Zhou Sichen's.

Besides, with Zhou Sichen's talent—having reached Rank 37 at just twelve years old—his future was bound to be legendary. If the Skydream Iceworm wanted to partake in that legend, it had to understand him.

After regaining control over his spiritual sea, Zhou Sichen carefully examined the changes in his second Martial Soul.

A moment later, the radiant white soul ring disappeared into his body, and his Martial Soul was retracted.

He then glanced at the ground a short distance away and gestured with his hand. A thin, pale golden membrane silently lifted from the earth and landed in his palm.

This was an invaluable treasure—the Skydream Iceworm's shed exoskeleton.

In the original story, it was this very object that had been used to subdue the Ice Empress, a nearly four-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Seeing Zhou Sichen pick up his discarded shell, the Skydream Iceworm's smug voice rang out again.

"This is my exoskeleton, refined over a million years! A true treasure—hurry up and store it!"

Zhou Sichen chuckled, his spiritual power stirring slightly. The exoskeleton transformed into a stream of light and was stored in the silver-white soul tool on his index finger.

This was an item of great value, and Zhou Sichen intended to put it to good use.

With this, he finally felt that he had gained the strength to protect himself in this world. His path to power had truly begun.

Zhou Sichen reached out with his consciousness.

"Skydream?"

The Skydream Iceworm huffed.

"Call me Brother Skydream!"

Ignoring its demand, Zhou Sichen instead said,

"I believe in your power now. I also believe that by working together, we'll forge a bright future."

The Skydream Iceworm giggled.

"Of course! But you're no ordinary kid either. You're only twelve, yet you're so calm and composed. With your talent, I doubt there's another like you in the entire Douluo Continent."

"I have no doubt that together, we will become the strongest beings in Douluo's history."

Zhou Sichen wholeheartedly agreed—because it was the truth.

The God Realm

A gentle radiance caressed the swirling mist, creating an ethereal yet tangible atmosphere. Within this illusionary space stood a towering palace, flickering between reality and fantasy under the soft glow.

A lone figure stood amidst the clouds, gazing into the endless distance, lost in thought.

His long, water-blue hair cascaded like a waterfall, reaching the ground. From behind, if not for his broad shoulders and imposing stature, one might mistake him for a woman.

His luxurious blue robe shimmered with rippling waves, and if one stared too long, they would feel themselves being drawn into its boundless depths, as if their soul was sinking into an endless ocean.

Though he appeared only in his twenties, his deep eyes held an unfathomable wisdom. Occasionally, a trace of purple flickered within them, carrying the essence of fleeting brilliance and the cycle of life and death.

However, at this moment, his face bore an expression of irritation and uncertainty, as though something beyond his control had occurred—something he could not yet comprehend.

This man was Tang San, the wielder of both the Asura God and Sea God divine positions—one of the most powerful rulers of the God Realm.

"Douluo's will is resisting? Does it really think blocking my divine sense will change anything? My plans have already been set in motion. No matter how much energy it expends, it cannot alter the final outcome."

"All it's doing is hastening its own destruction at my father's hands..."

Beside him, a woman in a pink gown, her long hair braided into a flowing scorpion-tail, gazed at him with concern.

"Brother San, with Douluo's will obstructing your sight, what about Xiao Qi? Though only two decades have passed in the God Realm, a full ten thousand years have passed on the Douluo Continent. I fear..."

Tang San gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry. Da Ming and Er Ming are both in Douluo. With them and my arrangements, nothing will go wrong—even if my vision is blocked."

"Besides, my parents are there. Xiao Qi is their beloved granddaughter—they will protect her for us."

His gaze then shifted toward a grand, deep-purple palace.

"For now, our priority is to 'convince' Destruction. I cannot allow anything in the God Realm to slip beyond my control!"

Xiao Wu hesitated after hearing this. Tang San had already said so much, what more could she say?
