Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

With the alliance formed, Snow Empress arranged for all the soul beasts in the Extreme North to search for Tian Meng Iceworm, while Ice Empress returned to the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to confirm whether any of her clan members had seen Tian Meng Iceworm in the past.

Yang Podi, meanwhile, discussed future alliance matters with the surrounding people, particularly on retreat strategies in case Almo Mountain was attacked, and even on some academy construction plans.

After most of the discussions were completed, Yang Tianyue puffed out her cheeks in slight frustration. Organizing this battle had taken her so much effort, but midway through, the target soul beast ended up becoming their ally. How could she not feel disappointed?

"Brother, I think that Snow Empress and Ice Empress are both quite good. Why not make them my spirit rings?"

Yang Podi lightly knocked Yang Tianyue on the head. "You little girl, Ice Empress and Snow Empress are just young girls themselves. Why do you always think about turning them into your spirit rings? Can't you think further ahead?"

"Besides, you also need to consider the situation of our Heavenly Academy and the others are practically our neighbors now. Especially since they can control all the soul beasts in the Extreme North, you wouldn't want countless soul beasts attacking our academy, would you?"

"Furthermore, what you currently need are water-attributed spirit rings. While ice-attributed soul beasts can be considered an extension of water attributes, they are ultimately different. In the end, you'll probably still need to go to the ocean to find soul beasts."

Yang Podi actually had additional considerations. The God Realm's stance on the soul beast race was always ambiguous. In the original work, the Asura God and Sea God, despite knowing Tang San and Xiao Wu's identities, still decisively granted Tang San the godhood. This showed that these two gods leaned toward the soul beasts.

Moreover, he would inevitably face the Star Dou Forest in the future. Having more allies and fallback options was never a bad thing.

Hearing Yang Podi's words, Yang Tianyue fell into thought. In the end, she suddenly seemed to have an epiphany. "Brother, although we've killed many 100000-year soul beasts, you're not actually planning to live in peace with the soul beast race, are you?"

Yang Podi merely smiled. "Tianyue, what kind of god do you think the Sea God is?"

Yang Tianyue thought carefully before replying. "I think the Sea God is a very powerful, kind, and tolerant god."

Yang Podi nodded. "You're absolutely right. Your Sea God affinity is sufficient now, but you also need to understand the Sea God more deeply—his past, the purpose of the Sea God's Light on your Sea God Trident, and its specific functions. Otherwise, the final trial will be extremely difficult for you."

"Brother, according to what you're saying, does the Sea God trust soul beasts?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "It's not just about trust. The Sea God is the ruler of the entire ocean. All marine creatures are his followers, including both sea soul masters and sea soul beasts. Don't forget that Xiao Bai is also a 100000-year soul beast, yet she became the Sea God's mount. Also, in the ocean, the number of sea soul beasts far exceeds that of sea soul masters. If you truly wish to become the Sea God, aside from absolute strength, you must also take on the faith of the entire ocean."

Yang Tianyue was puzzled. "Brother, what is the power of faith? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

"The power of faith is the strength formed from the belief of all living beings in a great soul master. The first-generation Angel God of the Spirit Hall relied on this power of faith from unifying the Douluo Continent to save the Angel God. The Sea God is somewhat similar, but he draws strength from the faith of all marine life. This is why you need to understand the actions of the Sea God in the past."

Yang Podi carefully recalled the original work. Even after becoming a god, Tang San still identified as the Sea God. It was clear that he aimed to draw faith power from the Sea God's divine position. This showed that faith power wasn't just strong but also incredibly beneficial.

Five days passed, and Snow Empress seemed frustrated. Despite all the soul beasts in the Extreme North searching, they hadn't found a single trace of Tian Meng Iceworm, as if it had never existed.

However, hearing this, Yang Podi grew more confident. This at least proved that Tian Meng Iceworm was still in the Extreme North and hadn't been captured by the Star Dou Forest.

Ice Empress, on the other hand, brought good news. According to the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, they had indeed once pursued Tian Meng Iceworm. However, during the chase, Tian Meng Iceworm mysteriously disappeared, and since then, no trace of it had been found in the Extreme North.

Yang Podi, along with everyone else, followed Snow Empress and Ice Empress to the location where Tian Meng Iceworm had disappeared.

It was an ice plain, surrounded by a vast expanse of snow and ice. There was no sign of human activity, and not even the slightest fluctuation of soul power could be detected nearby.

Yang Podi raised his spiritual power to its utmost limit, but even within the ice layers, he found no trace of soul power, let alone Tian Meng Iceworm.

Yang Podi began to think. Currently, he was only at the demigod level, while Tian Meng Iceworm was a genuine million-year soul beast, theoretically with a soul power level higher than his own. It could be said that its entire being was imbued with divine power.

Moreover, it had evaded discovery by any soul beast for countless years. Living in a cycle of eating and sleeping, it was evident that this ice cave must be deeply hidden—or had long since been buried.

Yang Podi took out the Asura Demon Sword and infused all his soul power into it, radiating an aura like that of a deity.

While Yang Podi couldn't sense Tian Meng Iceworm, the Asura Demon Sword, as a supreme divine artifact, certainly could.

At that moment, faint fluctuations of divine power seemed to emanate from beneath the ice layer. The fluctuations were so weak that even gods would find them difficult to detect, let alone human soul masters.

Yang Podi's face lit up with joy. As long as there was a reaction, it meant that Tian Meng Iceworm was indeed beneath the ice.

Yang Podi addressed the group. "Let's start digging. Break through this ice layer; there's definitely something valuable below."

The group looked at each other in surprise. The Extreme North was filled with ice thousands of years old, almost at the level of ultimate ice. Breaking through it would be extremely challenging, yet Yang Podi intended to dig through the entire layer.

Despite their surprise, no one hesitated. Everyone began digging.

Yang Podi summoned his martial soul, the Breaking Soul Spear, to aid in breaking through the ice.

The beast soul masters, particularly his mother, grandfather, and Dugu Bo, struggled the most. Despite being Titled Douluo, their abilities weren't suited for such tasks.

Yang Tianyue, however, was full of enthusiasm. Wielding the Sea God Trident, she began breaking through the ice with astonishing efficiency. Though it weighed only 108 jin in her hands, it struck with a force of 108,000 jin, rivaling modern excavators in speed.

Watching Yang Tianyue's excitement, Yang Podi was speechless. Was his little sister a graduate of Blue Xiang Academy? How could she be so thrilled about digging? If the Sea God knew his trident had become a digging tool, would he be so enraged he'd cough up blood?

Excavating in the Extreme North was indeed challenging, with near-ultimate ice and harsh weather. Even a sudden gust of cold wind could nearly freeze the entire group.

After five days of digging, they finally approached the bottom of the ice layer, having dug thousands of meters deep. If not for the Titled Douluo present and Yang Tianyue wielding her divine tool, they might not have been able to make it through.

Just as they were about to break through the ice, Yang Podi stopped everyone. From this point forward, they had to proceed with utmost caution.

Tian Meng Iceworm, as the only million-year soul beast on the Douluo Continent, might not have the strongest combat abilities but wasn't easy to deal with.

Currently, Tian Meng Iceworm was at its strongest, particularly in terms of spiritual power, likely surpassing Yang Podi. Furthermore, the Tian Meng Iceworm clan had incredible camouflage abilities. Back in the original story, Huo Yuhao relied on its power to deceive Titled Douluo while still at the Grandmaster level.

Additionally, there are the remnants of the Tian Meng Iceworm's metamorphosis when it broke through to a million years, which is capable of instantly killing the Ice Emperor. A slight mistake could lead to a huge setback.

By the time they reached the last few dozen meters, everyone else had stopped digging, leaving only Yang Podi to quietly continue with the Soul Breaker Spear, trying to minimize any fluctuations of soul power or sounds.

The Ice Empress and Snow Empress were both surprised because they had sensed an extremely strong presence beneath the ice layer. This presence was not only the aura of a powerful soul beast but also a strong ice attribute aura. This should be the essence of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow, which even Snow Emperor regarded as a priceless treasure.

With one final crisp sound, the entire ice layer was broken through. From beneath the border city, an extremely terrifying soul beast aura surged, far surpassing that of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

At the same time, intense life force emanated, which should be the unique aura of the ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow, a treasure of unparalleled value.

Yang Podi extended his spiritual power to the utmost and finally discovered a thread of the Ice Silkworm inside a crack in the ice city.

This Ice Silkworm had a round, chubby head, looking fleshy, with a diameter of over a meter and a body length of more than seven meters. It was entirely white jade in color, translucent, with a shimmering glow under its skin. Its small golden eyes sparkled on its head. Starting from half a meter down its head, there were golden patterns circling it at intervals, and there were ten such golden patterns running from head to tail.

It seemed this was the Tian Meng Iceworm, and after all this effort, they had finally found it.

The Ice Empress and Snow Empress looked at the ten golden patterns on the Dream Ice Silkworm's body, especially the terrifying aura emanating from it, and were deeply shocked. They never expected the Ice Silkworm to have truly reached the million-year level.

At this moment, the Tian Meng Iceworm appeared completely unaware of the surrounding danger. It was still fast asleep, even munching on something, with drool dripping from its mouth.

Yang Podi arranged for everyone to guard the cave entrance to prevent the Tian Meng Iceworm from escaping, while he quietly prepared to capture it.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred. The Dream Ice Silkworm, still sleeping, suddenly became ethereal. A huge silkworm cocoon seemed to spread everywhere, trying to trap Yang Podi.

At the same time, a loud laugh echoed from the sky: "Kid, you've been tricked. How could your Dream Ice Silkworm brother be so easy to catch?"
