In its insect form, the "Worm of Time" was extremely fragile.
Before Amon obtained his seventh soul ring, they had almost no resistance. A slight soul power impact could kill them, making it impossible to forcibly parasitize others.
After obtaining the seventh soul ring, their resistance to soul power and physical damage greatly increased, allowing them to forcibly parasitize other people's bodies. However, their resistance to mental damage remained insufficient.
During the parasitism process, if the target launched a mental attack before the "Worm of Time" entered their body, they could still relatively easily destroy the "Worm of Time."
But after completing parasitism, the "Worm of Time" would integrate into the target's soul. At this time, ordinary mental attacks would prioritize harming the host's soul and could not touch the "Worm of Time."
However, Skydream used some unknown method to bypass the Myriad Demon King's soul and directly affect the already parasitized "Worm of Time."
Amon realized that he had underestimated this big worm, Skydream: "Heh… as expected of a million-year soul beast, you've got something."
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger immediately pounced towards Skydream Ice Silkworm. He estimated that even "Invincible Golden Body" could not protect the "Worm of Time" under Skydream's mental storm.
Skydream Ice Silkworm chose to prioritize rescuing the Myriad Demon King because the Myriad Demon King knew Zi Ji, making it easier for him to stand on their side after breaking free from control.
The Myriad Demon King, whose consciousness had returned to clarity, instantly understood the current situation and extended his branches without hesitation to block the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
Starlight lit up, and a stream of light flew out from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's body. Within the light, Amon's figure transformed from illusion to reality.
He extended his right hand, forming a wide, wall-like barrier, temporarily blocking the branches. The Myriad Demon King's direct attack ability was not strong, and he could not quickly break through this barrier.
Zi Ji endured her fear and stubbornly stood in front of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, spitting out a dragon's breath.
However, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger completely ignored her, directly crashing into her and biting her slender neck.
The two giant beasts rolled and wrestled together.
While knocking Zi Ji away, dozens of starlight-colored streams of light flew out from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's body, transforming into individual Amons.
At the first moment of transforming into human form, they condensed a spear in their hands using soul power.
The thrown spears turned Skydream Ice Silkworm into a hedgehog.
Subsequently, these Amons simultaneously used "Life Stealing" on it, constantly stealing its life force and accelerating its death.
Skydream Ice Silkworm did not resist much and died just like that.
Specks of starlight floated from Skydream's corpse, condensing into a white-gold soul ring.
The main body of Amon, sitting leisurely on top of the pillar, extended his right hand and grabbed the soul ring.
Starlight flickered in his hand, and a semi-transparent worm with twelve segments and cosmos-like colors appeared, quickly swimming in mid-air, leaving countless afterimages.
Following the pull of soul power, the white-gold soul ring was placed on top of the "Worm of Time," overlapping with one of its segments.
Amon's surging energy poured in from his martial soul, and the majestic power made him change color involuntarily.
Even with hundreds of "Worms of Time" helping him share this energy, Amon still felt waves of throbbing pain in his meridians.
In comparison, even the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's soul ring paled in comparison.
Although his body was twitching with pain, Amon still maintained his composed posture, adjusted his monocle, and said with a chuckle:
"Still want to resist? You no longer have any chance of winning."
A trace of rejoicing flashed in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't overestimate himself and took action to hunt Skydream Ice Silkworm when Di Tian had not yet returned and the defensive strength of the Lake of Life was at its weakest, otherwise, the result might have been different.
Amon also did not expect that the seemingly harmless Skydream Ice Silkworm actually possessed the ability to bypass the host's soul and directly kill the "Worm of Time," almost causing him to fail.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger crawled up from Zi Ji's body, leaped lightly, came to Amon's side, and licked its paws, looking like it was enjoying a good show.
Amon's current state was not good. The energy contained in Skydream's soul ring was too vast, causing him to be in excruciating pain and unable to move.
He could not be disturbed in the slightest at this moment.
Therefore, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger seemed to have lost its interest in fighting and returned to the pillar, in fact, it was to protect Amon's main body and act as a protector.
Amon revealed a playful smile on his face and said with great interest:
"Myriad Demon King, would you like to submit to me? I'm still short of some people who can handle matters. It always feels too demeaning to have to do even small things myself."
"You are willing to trust me? You won't control my soul again?" The Myriad Demon King's eyes flickered.
Amon said with a chuckle: "Controlling others is also a burden for me. If there are those who are willing to work for me, that would naturally be for the best. As for trust… I only trust myself.
"Of course, you don't have to worry about me restricting you too much, because even if your cultivation base increases by two or three hundred thousand years, it won't make any difference to me. I don't need to be wary of someone who poses no threat to me."
Zi Ji had many wounds torn open by the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger on her body. A large piece of flesh was missing from her neck, making her look extremely miserable.
She said to the Myriad Demon King with some disdain:
"You want to submit to a human? When did our soul beasts need to wag our tails and beg humans?"
"Living is the most important thing. Well, only one of you two can leave this arena of life and death alive." A malicious smile appeared on Amon's face.
A look of hesitation appeared on the Myriad Demon King's face. Then, he suddenly launched an attack on Zi Ji, and thousands of branches appeared, like chains, entangling towards the dark purple giant dragon.
"Myriad Demon King, do you really have no dignity left?" Zi Ji was shocked and angry.
"I'm sorry, Zi Ji, I want to live." A hint of ruthlessness appeared in the Myriad Demon King's eyes.
Zi Ji spewed out dragon's breath, burning the cage formed by the Myriad Demon King's branches.
The two engaged in a deadly battle. Zi Ji's cultivation age was not as long as the Myriad Demon King's, but she had an advantage in race and attributes, making her better at frontal combat.
The Myriad Demon King did not engage in direct confrontation with her, but constantly wandered around. Each attack was aimed at the wounds on Zi Ji's body caused by the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
After a long period of entanglement, the toxins created by the Myriad Demon King gradually seeped into Zi Ji's body through the wounds. The dark purple giant dragon finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
"It's over." The Myriad Demon King mercilessly inserted branches into Zi Ji's body and stirred them violently.
When Zi Ji was completely paralyzed on the ground and lost the light in her eyes, the Myriad Demon King turned to look at Amon: "I killed her."
Amon smiled: "Well done… but, is this how you show your submission to someone?"
The Myriad Demon King's eyes narrowed slightly. He drooped his eyelids, trying to keep his gaze on the ground, not letting Amon see the murderous look in his eyes.
He slowly knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "My lord, please accept my allegiance."
Amon raised his right hand and pinched the upper and lower edges of his monocle with his index finger and thumb respectively, and said with a chuckle: "Welcome you to join the Amon clan again."
Brilliant starlight lit up, and streams of "Worms of Time" transformed into streamers and rushed towards the Myriad Demon King.
After a period of absorption, the energy brought by Skydream Ice Silkworm's soul ring was no longer so violent, and Amon's condition had improved a lot.
The Myriad Demon King had been on guard. After the last experience of being parasitized, he had some thoughts on how to deal with the "Worms of Time" and immediately used mental attacks to kill the "Worms of Time" that rushed towards him.
"What do you mean by this? Are you going back on your word?"
"Why don't you think about it again? I didn't promise not to parasitize you, and I didn't plan to kill you… I will let you leave this arena of life and death alive." Amon replied with a smile.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger roared. It flapped its wings and rushed towards the Myriad Demon King.
After a great battle with Zi Ji, the Myriad Demon King, who was not at his peak, could not hold on for long under the attack of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger and soon fell into defeat.
Streams of "Worms of Time" once again entered his body. The Myriad Demon King's expression was dull for a moment, and then returned to normal.
After everything was settled, Amon "tsk"ed and muttered:
"This time was really dangerous. First, Skydream almost caused me to fail, and after killing it, the main body fell into a state where it couldn't move easily.
"If the Myriad Demon King and Zi Ji had joined forces to attack me at that time, I might have been interfered with in absorbing the soul ring…"
"Well, I'm still not cautious enough… Killing the four heavenly kings of the Arctic Icefield without paying any price before made me a little arrogant, so I need to pay more attention in the future."
Amon jumped down from the pillar and came to Skydream's corpse. He condensed a long sword with soul power, cut open its corpse, and found a soul bone from it.
This was a crystal clear head soul bone with nine golden patterns.
"This guy Skydream simply doesn't follow the rules everywhere… Not only is there no thunder tribulation, but even the dropping of the soul bone violates the general rules." Amon sighed slightly.
Apart from the external soul bone attached to his martial soul, Amon only had the head soul bone dropped by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
After a 100,000-year soul beast is killed, it will definitely drop a soul bone of a part that the soul master who killed it does not have, but Skydream happened to drop a head soul bone that Amon already had.
Zi Ji was much more normal, dropping a right arm bone with a dark purple light.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger also landed from the air. It opened its bloody mouth and began to devour the corpses of Skydream Ice Silkworm and Zi Ji.
Subsequently, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger put away the "Arena of Life and Death," and Amon immediately grabbed Lei Yin and put it into the "Soul Bone Space."
The Amon avatars located in distant places separately "stole" the "main body's" destiny and Lei Yin, completing the transfer.
Amon's main body did not dare to stay in Star Dou Great Forest for long, after all, there was still a Silver Dragon King inside. Although it was unlikely that she could take action, she was still a god-level combat power, which Amon could not contend with now.
The clone left in the Lake of Life stayed in the cave for a while and did not find any abnormalities.
He adjusted his monocle and said softly: "It seems that the Silver Dragon King is still sleeping."
