Hell Emperor.

Chapter 526 Xia Wei-Star Soul
The land of Taiyin.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, the stars became visible again, and even the last ray of lightning returned to Xia Wei's palm.

When the immortal calamity faded away, Xia Wei slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. The breath was like an arrow, drawing a long-lasting circle in the air. Her realm had already climbed to the fourth level.

Not only that, the immortal calamity brought about by the Mandarin Duck Book was also absorbed by Xia Wei and became the nourishment for her to break through the realm.

When she stood still, her realm had already leaped to the middle stage of the fourth revolution. The rich immortal energy emanating from her body made Yao Bai's pupils shrink slightly, and he said in surprise:

"You've broken through again? And you've reached the middle stage of the fourth transformation... How is this possible?"

The divine light in Xia Wei's bright eyes slowly faded. She just smiled confidently, "You have also practiced the Imperial Thunder Treasure Mirror. Logically, you should be able to absorb the power of thunder. Are you blaming me for not leaving you some immortal calamity?"

Yao Bai waved her hands repeatedly. She could only absorb some lightning at most. She had no intention of absorbing the deafening calamity. "Forget it... If you can absorb it, just absorb it all."

On the side, Yue Lao opened his mouth slightly, and the surprise in his eyes could not be wiped away no matter what. Even the immortal calamity that he tried to avoid was completely absorbed by Xia Wei, which in turn allowed her to achieve her own success.

If the news that someone could absorb the immortal calamity spread, the entire cultivation world would be shaken, and countless immortals would certainly be eager to recruit talents. You must know that the immortal calamity when breaking through the realm is like a sword hanging over the immortal's head. If you are not careful, you will end up with your soul torn apart. Everyone is looking for a way to fight against the immortal calamity, but Xia Wei did it.

Retracting his gaze, Yue Lao seemed to remember something and said with emotion:
"To be honest, I have never seen such an outstanding thunder cultivator who can even absorb the immortal tribulation when breaking through the realm. So, you came to the dark side of the moon to find the Mysterious Lady Thunder Seal?"

Xia Wei was stunned. The Thunder Control Treasure Mirror that she was cultivating was indeed left by Xuannv, but what was the Thunder Seal of Xuannv? She couldn't help but ask, "What is the Thunder Seal of Xuannv?"

"Don't you know?" Yue Lao answered slowly, "In the past, the ambitious Emperor of Hell intended to annex the Taiyin Land and turn it into a dead zone with no life. Even the Taiyin Star Lord was defeated by him. The dark side of the moon under our feet bears the traces of the battle between the two."

After a pause, Yue Lao continued, "Seeing that the Underworld Emperor was about to succeed, thanks to Xuan Nu's action, she defeated the Underworld Emperor with just one move, completely thwarting his ambition. The Thunder Seal left by Xuan Nu still exists in the depths of the dark side. In the past, many fairies from the Moon Palace came to the Thunder Seal to comprehend and feel the most blazing thunder punishment in the world, hoping to learn a move from it. You guys came here for this too, right?"

Xia Wei understood and was about to ask about the information about the Thunder Seal when she suddenly heard a mournful scream coming from afar. The sound was sharp and piercing, like fingernails scratching on the wall, giving people goose bumps.

"What's the noise?"

Xia Wei frowned, but saw that the matchmaker beside her had a slightly changed expression:
“Oh no… It’s the Star Souls of Annihilation. They must have been disturbed by the noise of the thunder tribulation. This is bad. If we don’t leave the dark side quickly, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave even if we want to.”

Hearing this, even Yao Bai's legs trembled: "Destroying the Star Soul? Could it be that what my friends said is true? Didn't they make it up to scare me?"

Xia Wei was confused: "What are you talking about? What is the Silent Star Soul?"

Yue Lao answered repeatedly, "Everything has a lifespan, even the stars. After a person dies, their soul turns into a ghost, and when the stars disintegrate and become dead, ghosts called Silent Star Souls are born. Unlike ghosts and star gods, Silent Star Souls have no intelligence and cannot communicate. Instead, they symbolize the original will of the stars and only know how to swallow up everything."

After a pause, he added: "The aura left by the Hades Emperor on the dark side of the moon has attracted countless annihilated star souls. If one can comprehend the mystery from it, perhaps the dead stars can be revived. Because there are too many annihilated star souls gathered here, the dark side of the moon has been turned into a lifeless restricted area. Even the Mysterious Lady Thunder Seal has been buried in it. I don't know how long it has been since the Moon Palace Fairy came to comprehend. If I hadn't been drunk, I wouldn't have come here!"

As they were talking, the sharp and piercing roar that did not sound like a human voice was getting closer and closer to them.

Looking up, a distorted figure broke through the fog and appeared at the end of my sight.

The man had no face or features, not a single strand of skin on his body. There was only a shadow deeper than the night, and only a few starlight dotted his face. If you looked closely, you could see a luster as bright as the starry sky.

"Is that the Star Soul of Annihilation?"

Xia Wei's eyes were stern, without a trace of fear in her heart, only curiosity and eagerness to try. It was just right that she had a breakthrough in her rank, so she decided to try out the Star Soul of Annihilation.

"Try this move, thunder and lightning!"

As soon as the words came out, rolling thunder struck down from the sky and bombarded the body of the Silent Star Soul, but not even a ripple appeared. The thunder sank into it and disappeared completely.

After trying in vain, Xia Wei frowned, finally realizing how difficult the Silent Star Soul was.

Even when the Fairy Wanshou cast her Infinite Attraction, when the thunder fell, there would be a burst of lightning after hitting the entity, but when facing the Star Soul of Annihilation, the thunder disappeared silently, as if it had never existed.

With her rich combat experience, Xia Wei immediately made a judgment: "Didn't block it, but absorbed it all? It's indeed a ghost monster after the extinction of the stars, it's really difficult to deal with!"

At this time, the sound of the Nether Mist breaking apart was heard continuously, two, three... More and more Silent Star Souls were attracted by the movement, broke through the Nether Mist, came here, and were about to surround the few people.

Just as Xia Wei was about to take action, Yue Lao hurriedly persuaded her, "You'd better leave quickly. These monsters are from the aftermath of the star's extinction. Even if I were to come, I really wouldn't be able to do anything with them without magic weapons. It's not too late to leave now."

Xia Wei's face was determined. Although she had reached the middle stage of the fourth revolution, the boundless attraction of the Fairy Wanshou was still like a mountain standing in front of her. With her current strength, she would never be able to overcome it.

After learning about the Xuannv Thunder Seal, Xia Wei refused to give up and said to Yao Bai, "You two leave first. I will go to the Thunder Seal to find out what's going on no matter what!"

Seeing that Xia Wei had made up her mind, Yao Bai raised his eyes slightly and said, "If you don't leave, I won't leave either. Let's go and take a look together."

Seeing that Yao Bai was willing to stay with her, Xia Wei also felt a sense of silent warmth. Seeing that the Star Soul of Destruction was getting closer and closer, a solution flashed through her mind:
"You are a first-level demon fairy, and you also meet the prerequisites of the Nether Spirit Divine Art. I will transform you into a Nether Spirit magic weapon and use your power to fight the enemy. Please lend me a hand."

If there is any skill in Xia Wei's hand that can create miracles, it must be the Nether Spirit Divine Art. As long as she can transform her like-minded companions into Nether Spirit magical instruments or even divine instruments, Xia Wei will be able to fight against even the incarnation of the proud Xuannv.

As a powerful enemy approaches, Xia Wei wants to follow suit and transform Yao Bai into a magical weapon called the Dark Spirit.

"Wait a minute..." Yao Bai hadn't figured out what was going on yet, but she saw Xia Wei already practicing her internal energy. She had no choice but to give it a try.

The body of the three-lipped fairy suddenly dissipated, and the light spots wandered and gathered in front of Xia Wei's arms, like a pale stream of light across the night sky. In the clouds and mist, the snow-like outline was looming, and the flowing white ribbon wrapped her arms, and the magic weapon of the underworld suddenly appeared.

"White Feather Wrapped Immortal Sleeve... Wait a minute, why is it a ninth-grade spiritual weapon?"

Xia Wei was surprised; the quality of the magic weapon was beyond her expectations.

“Could it be that there is something wrong with the Nether Spirit Divine Art? Yao Bai followed me all the way, not only reading the manual of martial arts to me, but also saving me in times of crisis. Given my relationship with her, it is impossible for her to be only at the ninth level…”

Xia Wei frowned, feeling very troubled, not understanding what went wrong. Clearly, the first time she used the Dark Spirit Divine Art, she was able to transform her master into a fifth-grade magical weapon, so how come it was only a ninth-grade one now?
After some thought, Xia Wei seemed to have the answer.

"It must be because of the moon's suppression... After leaving the rules of the human world, the power of many of my skills has been greatly reduced, and even the Nether Spirit Divine Art should be the same. Only the true unique method can exert its full power here. Although the Nether Spirit Divine Art is powerful, it is still far inferior to the unique methods such as the Thunder Control Treasure Mirror and the Infinite Induction."

Unable to condense a high-grade magic weapon, relying solely on the lower ninth-grade spiritual weapon, there is no way to harm the Silent Star Soul. In desperation, Xia Wei had to disperse the Nether Spirit Divine Art.

Yao Bai's figure returned to its original state, and he was a little curious: "What kind of skill is that that can turn me into a magic weapon?"

Xia Wei answered truthfully: "This is the Dark Spirit Divine Art, which is the palace-guarding technique of the Dark Spirit Palace on earth. The closer the relationship, the more powerful the Dark Spirit magic weapon condensed. With this technique, I can condense my master into a second-grade artifact... However, on the moon, the Dark Spirit Divine Art is also ineffective and can't exert its former power."

"I see..." Yao Bai blinked and said with emotion, "I never thought that there are such special skills in the human world. I thought that the skills in the human world were all vulgar and inferior."

While they were talking, the Star Soul of Annihilation was getting closer and closer. A powerful suction force burst out, causing a strong wind to blow around them. Everyone tried their best to avoid losing control of their bodies.

Feeling the strong suction force, Yue Lao quickly reminded: "Be careful! That is the attraction of the stars. If you are sucked into it by the annihilation star soul, it may take hundreds of years to get out!"

Yao Bai was a little scared, and she started to use her Thunder Power. Her body turned into a flash of lightning and began to rush backwards. However, under the powerful suction force, no matter how hard she tried, she was at her last gasp. Not only could she not get rid of it, but she was pulled closer and closer.

In comparison, Xia Wei looked calm as she began to practice the Moon Shadow Step. The skills she had learned when fighting against the Southern Dipper Star Lord were also effective when fighting against the Silent Star Soul. No matter how strong the traction in front was, it could not restrain her.

Since the Nether Spirit Divine Art was ineffective, Xia Wei simply changed her method. She held the unbending Qingfeng Sword horizontally in front of her. The brilliant purple light lit up the starry sky, and the divine thunder condensed, wrapping up the Qingfeng Sword completely.

During the duel with the fairy Su'e, Xia Wei realized this method. She used thunder to wrap the sword, which not only increased the power of the sword, but also used the sword's power to increase the power of thunder in turn. It can be said that they complement each other.

Now, what Xia Wei summoned was the Purple Sky Divine Thunder that evolved from the purple energy coming from the east. When the divine thunder enveloped the Qingfeng Sword, the entire Sword was trembling slightly, and the surrounding light and shadow also became distorted.

After all, the Qingfeng Sword is only of the eighth grade. No matter how tough it is, and no matter how hard it tries to break, it cannot withstand the shocking power of the Zixiao Divine Thunder due to its grade. The sword edge is constantly shaking and may break at any time.

Lightning was lingering, purple air was rising into the sky, and even the dark fog that lingered on the dark side of the moon all year round was shattered by the blazing divine thunder, and the stars also went silent. The only shining thing in the world was the sharp blade in Xia Wei's hand.

The Annihilated Star Souls wailed together. They were derived from the Dead Star and felt such a strong awe for the first time. Before they could react, the Qingfeng Sword was already approaching.

The sword light swept across, and the explosion of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder was integrated into the sword technique. A shocking light flashed by, and many star souls shattered together, leaving only a dark shadow that lingered for a long time.

When the Star Soul was destroyed, there was a crisp sound, and the Qingfeng Sword broke. It had crossed two continents with Xia Wei, and now it had come to the land of Taiyin. Its lifespan had finally come to an end, and it was broken into two pieces under the pressure of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

The hand holding the sword suddenly felt lighter, and Xia Wei stood there for a long time before she bent down and picked up the Qingfeng sword that was broken into two pieces.

Seeing the star souls all destroyed, Yao Bai finally let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great... If I were captured by those star soul ghosts, I don't know when I would be able to escape..."

Before he finished speaking, a roar that shook the sky was heard from the end of the dark side. The sound was so loud that it not only reached the ears of Xia Wei and others, but even the immortals in the Moon Palace changed their expressions.

"That voice... is the Golden Crow Ghost King!"

"It has been sleeping in the dark for so many years, why is it waking up now?"

"It must be the scent of the elixir that attracted it. If it gets close to this place, we must stop it and not interfere with the refining of the elixir!"

Sensing that ancient and powerful aura, the many immortals in the Moon Palace had different reactions. Some were terrified, some were anxious, but without exception, everyone looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, as if a disaster was imminent.

"That breath...what exactly is it?"

Xia Wei stood still, feeling an endless chill in her heart. Even the Fairy Wanshou could not bring her such oppression. It felt like she was standing in front of a cliff. If she took a step, she would fall into the abyss.

Yue Lao also realized that the situation was not good, and many memories flashed through his mind: "That breath must belong to the Golden Crow Star Soul!"

"Golden Crow Star Soul?" Xia Wei was puzzled.

Yue Lao said in a trembling voice: "A long time ago, there were ten suns in the sky. Later, an immortal shot down nine of them, leaving only the last sun. When the stars collapse, the Star Soul of Desolation will be born, and when the sun falls, the Golden Crow Star Soul, which is much stronger than ordinary star souls, will be born! I thought those Golden Crow Star Souls fell to the human world, but I didn't expect that there was still one hidden in the dark side of the moon. Judging from the posture, I'm afraid he has already cultivated into a ghost king..."

"What……"

Xia Wei's pupils shrank. She didn't expect that the one blocking the Xuannv Thunder Seal was actually the Ghost King who was the incarnation of the sun!
