— Chapter 125 —

After sending Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuqing to the guest house, Han Yuan went to his cabin near the waterfall. However, he couldn’t find Han Yue in the house and saw a note instead.

Han Yuan raised his eyebrow and read the note, “Xiao Yuan, if you read this, Sister is bringing Rongrong and others to the Sunset Forest to hunt for their spirit rings. We will be back tomorrow morning.”

“Also, be careful tonight! Even though I brought the troublesome women along, I had bad feelings that some girls might climb up your bed!”

Han Yuan’s mouth twitched because this was always the case when Han Yue wasn’t around, though it might be only Ah Yin tonight. “Since I’m alone, I might as well try contracting Heavenly Horned Ant.”

Due to Ah Yin’s complete recovery, Han Yuan has put the Forbidden Spirit Soul aside, but now? Han Yuan wanted to contract the Heavenly Horned Ant as his first-ever Spirit Soul.

After all, only a few spirit beasts could match Han Yuan’s Clear Sky Ant King martial soul.

Han Yuan pulled the Dark Gold Metal Sphere from the Sky Poison Pearl and went to the waterfall behind the wood cabin. He meditated on the smooth rock beneath the waterfall and injected his spiritual power into the casing, allowing him to communicate with the active Spirit Soul.

While the Heavenly Horned Ant was only a 10,000-year-old Spirit Soul, it had the raw talents to reach the 1,000,000-year-old realm with multiple ultimate attributes, especially the innate ability to adapt to almost any environment.

There is a reason why it was called Forbidden Spirit Soul No.1!

However, once Han Yuan communicated with the Heavenly Horned Ant, he realized this ant was just a pitiful creature. Artificially made in the lab, the Heavenly Horned Ant longed for freedom.

It has never seen the beauty of the world. Eventually, the Federation’s order to terminate the Heavenly Horned Ant angers the artificial Spirit Soul toward humanity reaching its peak.

Han Yuan chuckled at the Heavenly Horned Ant’s desire, “Don’t worry, from now on, you can enjoy the world as you want, buddy.”

“As long as you follow my order, the world is our oyster!”

With that, the prison that held the Heavenly Horned Ant clicked open for the artificial Spirit Soul.

Click!

The Dark Gold Metal Sphere revealed a unique Ant over ten centimeters long. Its body was ‘perfectly’ adorned with a metallic gold exoskeleton, complemented by two demonic horns and sharp golden fangs. This remarkable creature had six segmented legs and six nearly translucent, slender golden wings.

However, the most surprising quality of the Heavenly Horned Ants is its intelligent crimson compound eyes.

The artificial Spirit Soul has a strong sentience despite being only 10,000 years old.

Zzzt!

The Heavenly Horned Ant’s six translucent golden wings flapped rapidly and buzzed as it hovered before Han Yuan, staring at the human with its crimson eyes.

“What do you think? The world is beautiful, right?” Han Yuan spread his arms, laughing under the moonlight.

The Heavenly Horned Ant looked up to the round white moon and couldn’t help but nod its head, “Bzz.”

Han Yuan smiled, “But we can’t enjoy this world yet.”

“When this world becomes ours, we can do everything we want.”

“So, do you want to follow me and make this world ours, Heavenly Horned Ant?”

“Bzz!” The Heavenly Horned Ant nodded again, landing on Han Yuan’s left shoulder.

“Hahaha, let’s do this!” Han Yuan laughed even more.

Upon reaching a tacit agreement with the Heavenly Horned Ant, Han Yuan slowly recited the Soul Contract while summoning his Clear Sky Ant King martial soul.

ROAAAAAARR!

The Clear Sky Ant King roared at the sky and shook the surrounding area with its mere presence. At the same time, the air also comes to a halt, and the clouds above roll like waves.

The Heavenly Horned Ant’s body trembled. It felt that the mixed bloodline in its body was bowing toward this much more perfect being than itself, which was ‘artificially’ created.

Compared to the Clear Sky Ant King, the Heavenly Horned Ant felt it was ‘thoroughly’ inferior in every way as if it was standing before a tall, unfathomable mountain.

‘K-King!’ That’s all the Heavenly Horned Ant could think of. At the same time, the artificial Spirit Soul felt its relationship with Han Yuan had changed from partner to master and subordinate.

It just feels natural that way.

Han Yuan didn’t know all this. He stared at the Clear Sky Ant King dumbly because this martial soul always likes to show off, blasting its beastly aura left and right.

If Han Yuan didn’t choose to cultivate the Purple Silver Grass first, the Clear Sky Ant King would force him into the spotlight. This martial soul has too much pride in its origin and looks down on everything in this world.

In fact, the Clear Sky Ant King even looked down on Thunder God Nine Trials. When Han Yuan used the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, the Clear Sky Ant King would always urge him to use it instead.

However, Han Yuan knew Clear Sly Ant King was tempting him. After all, this bizarre beast martial soul was born from the void’s power with a tyrannical nature and power.

Simply put, the Clear Sky Ant King is a troublesome martial soul.

Han Yuan wished he could cultivate the Clear Sky Ant King when he reached the Title Douluo Realm, making it easier to use. Well, it is impossible now.

“Ease your mind, and trust my voice.”

“Don’t resist the Soul Contract.”

“Do you understand?” He calmly stared at the Heavenly Horned Ant.

Heavenly Horned Ant nodded solemnly, ‘Yes, King!’

After that, Han Yuan started the Soul Contract ritual and felt a growing connection between him, the Clear Sky Ant King, and the Heavenly Horned Ant.

Nevertheless, the process is longer than he thought. The fusion of the Heavenly Horned Ant’s origin with the Clear Sky Ant King’s was slower than a snail because both were already the ultimate creatures to a ‘certain’ degree.

Unknown to Han Yuan, the sky above has changed color. A deep shade of golden and red intertwined with the clouds, covering the white moon and making the surrounding area eerie.

Crackle!

A faint electricity swam in the clouds, eyeing Han Yuan like a juicy piece of meat.

Then, a demonic red lightning strikes down.

Swoosh!

BOOOM!

Countless dark silver vines suddenly appeared, shielding Han Yuan from the demonic red lightning.

Ah Yin appeared from thin air and pouted, “I planned to sneak into Xiao Yuan’s bed. I didn’t expect him to do this instead,”

“Hmph, Mommy is mad.”

“I demand a whole night of cuddling after this!”

Ah Yin looked at the menacing thunderclouds above and frowned slightly, which reminded her of what the spirit beast must undergo to break through into the 100,000-year-old realm.

Lightning Calamity!

‘What did Xiao Yuan do to trigger this Lightning Calamity?’ Ah Yin stared at her son in confusion but quickly noticed two ants. Those two ants gave Ah Yin and Zimei a dreadful feeling of Apex Predator standing before them.

Zimei screamed, ‘How could such monsters exist?!’

Ah Yin solemnly thought, ‘If I’m not wrong, the black ant is Clear Sky Ant King, Xiao Yuan’s second martial soul.’

‘As for the golden ant, it must be a Spirit Soul.’

‘But this Spirit Soul…’

‘Has broken the limitation of Spirit Beast!’
