"Brother Skydream, as planned, I'll hand my body over to you for now," Tianlin sent a soul message.
Skydream Ice Silkworm began to exert its spiritual power. "No problem, Xiao Tian, leave it to me."
After switching places with Tianlin's soul, Skydream used Tianlin's body to spread its spiritual waves.
This unique aura immediately alerted all the fierce beasts in Star Dou Forest.
Especially the nearby Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear. It was so startled it swallowed a huge chunk of gold whole. "This feeling—is that the Golden Patterned Ice Silkworm? It's still here?!"
It had been furious when Skydream was taken by Tianlin but didn't dare search too widely, lest it reveal that SkydreaM had been in its hands, angering Di Tian.
At the same time, the Scarlet King, Myriad Demon King, and Zi Ji also sensed Skydream's aura and rushed over. They wouldn't let it slip away.
The most shocked, however, was Di Tian. Others didn't know, but he had always believed Skydream was dead. "How is this possible—did the Ice Silkworm survive the million-year tribulation?"
"If I could capture it and borrow its divine power, maybe it would help the Lord recover faster."
In Di Tian's mind, even if Skydream became a god, it wouldn't be a match. Skydream's spiritual power wasn't offensive, and its physical strength was near zero. As long as he defended his mind, Skydream would be helpless.
He rushed toward Tianlin's direction.
...
At this time, Tianlin and Skydream switched back. Skydream said, "Xiao Tian, our plan worked. The Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear is coming—and just as you thought, all the other beasts and even Di Tian are coming too."
"I understand. We're on a tight schedule—only one chance. We must succeed!" Tianlin's eyes were firm. Surrounded by fierce beasts, he showed no fear. "Teleport!"
A teleport returned him to the cave entrance. The Behemoth King was still there.
To fight over Skydream, it didn't qualify—not even the two hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape did. The bear, protective of its little brother, wouldn't let it go, or it would die in the chaos.
"Xiao Tian, hurry! Once the bear realizes the trick, it'll rush back. It's not known for speed, but at full run, it can cover kilometers in less than twenty seconds," Skydream warned.
"I know. First soul skill, Frozen Snow!" Tianlin unleashed his first soul skill at the cave.
A roar came from inside. The Behemoth King, covered in ice crystals from the ultimate ice, charged out.
"Heh, big guy, remember me? I've waited so long to take revenge." Tianlin imitated Skydream's voice, releasing a trace of its aura.
...
Meanwhile, the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear arrived at Tianlin's previous location but found nothing. Then it sensed Skydream's aura at its cave.
It realized it had fallen for a diversion. Roaring with rage, it ran back at astonishing speed.
...
Feeling the ground shake, Tianlin knew he had to hurry.
"Three Realms Annihilation!"
He opened with the final move of the Seven Kill Sword technique, gathering all his sword and killing intent into one strike. The destructive power made even the Behemoth King sense danger.
But being close to a hundred-thousand-year beast, with blood energy covering its claws, it met Tianlin's demonic sword head-on.
As expected from a Behemoth descendant, its attack was far stronger than Tang San's Tool Martial Soul Avatar. Most Title Douluos wouldn't match it. Tianlin was instantly suppressed.
But, with the demonic sword's strength, he didn't lose immediately. Three Realms Annihilation offset most of the Behemoth King's power.
As the Behemoth King pressed its attack, a light flashed on Tianlin's forehead—a domain appeared: Million-Year Soul Bone Skill, Mental Interference Domain.
This move made the enemy's attacks less accurate. The Behemoth King, dazed, grabbed the talisman Tianlin threw.
The Teleportation Talisman had a big weakness: it only teleported the one who input soul power. So, to teleport the Behemoth King, Tianlin had to make it input its soul power into the talisman.
But its power was too great and could tear the talisman's formation. Thus, he had to ensure its input wasn't too strong.
Three Realms Annihilation helped offload the force.
With the Behemoth's remaining power entering the talisman, the space formation activated. In an instant, the Behemoth King vanished.
Tianlin took out his second prepared talisman and vanished too.
At this moment, the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear returned, but was too late. He saw Tianlin and the Behemoth King disappear and sensed nothing. He knew they'd teleported far away. The Bear King's angry roar echoed through Star Dou Forest.
Countless weaker soul beasts were terrified; even the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python trembled. With only a hundred-thousand-year cultivation, they were no match for the four hundred thousand-year Bear Lord.
...
Sunset Forest, Gale Valley.
After a space twist, two figures appeared.
The Behemoth King looked around curiously. This wasn't Star Dou Forest—it'd been instantly teleported here.
"Hey, big guy, stop gawking. This is Gale Valley in Sunset Forest—our battlefield, and your grave!" Tianlin laughed. "You're still a few years short of a hundred-thousand-year beast. Let me help you!"
"Fifth soul skill, Illusory Water Thunderstorm!"
When used on soul masters, the higher their level, the less the boost. On beasts, it always adds a set number of years. The Behemoth King's bottleneck was crossed instantly.
A new hundred-thousand-year beast was born—still not Tianlin's match. With its terrifying defense, even the Demonic Flame Slash might not work. Tianlin had already planned a devious strategy.
