Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 194 The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan

……

"You came to see me so late at night, you didn't come here to tell me to calm down, did you?"

After being stimulated by the cold air emanating from Xuan Ming, Hu Liena's little scheme was extinguished.

Because she knew very well that if she continued, Xuanming would turn into an ice block, literally an ice block!

"Here, take this." Xuanming took out the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus.

"I've taken care of it, it shouldn't cause you any trouble."

Hu Liena looked puzzled. "What do you mean, 'should'?"

“I’m not entirely sure if it really has no effect,” Xuanming said.

"If you're worried..."

dong dong!

Before Xuanming could finish speaking, a knock on the door suddenly rang out, interrupting him.

"Nana, are you okay?"

Bibi Dong asked from outside the door.

"I'm fine!" Hu Liena was a little nervous and subconsciously pulled Xuanming to hide him in the bedroom.

"What are you doing?" Xuanming asked.

"The teacher is coming, you'd better hide!" Hu Liena said in a low voice.

"She's here, why should I hide?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"..."

The door opened, and Bibi Dong walked in.

Looking at Hu Liena's guilty expression and the lingering chill in the room, Bibi Dong roughly guessed what had just happened.

“It seems I’ve come at the wrong time.” Bibi Dong sat down.

“Actually, I was just about to come find you.” Xuanming picked up the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus.

"I've dealt with this thing, but it's still not entirely safe. Why don't you keep an eye on her from the side?"

"It's been dealt with?" Bibi Dong was taken aback and reached out to touch the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus.

"That resentment has indeed dissipated, but... let's give it a try."

Although the resentful remnant soul of the nine-tailed celestial fox lurked within Hu Liena, with her there, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"How do you use this?" Hu Liena asked, holding the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus in both hands, looking at Xuan Ming.

"Release your demon fox spirit and communicate with it using your spiritual power," Xuanming said.

"Hmm." Hu Liena slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, gently lifted the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus with both hands, placed it between her eyebrows, and released her spiritual power.

In an instant, the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus shone brightly, and a gentle yet powerful light enveloped Hu Liena.

Hu Liena felt a warm current flow into her body from between her eyebrows. Immediately afterwards, the resentful remnant soul of the nine-tailed celestial fox seemed to be touched by this power and began to churn within her body.

Her brows were furrowed, her face showed pain, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, and she immediately activated the Killing God Domain, protecting Hu Liena within it and forcibly suppressing the resentful remnant soul of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Xuanming also activated his domain, sealing off the entire room to prevent any commotion from affecting the outside.

As time went by, the power within Hu Liena's body gradually stabilized, and the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus began to merge with her martial soul, causing her aura to continuously rise.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from her body, and within the light, the phantom of a giant nine-tailed celestial fox appeared.

The phantom of the nine-tailed celestial fox radiated a holy light, its nine tails dancing wildly behind it, each hair shimmering with a crystalline luster.

Hu Liena's eyes turned an eerie purple, and her hair turned a holy white due to the possession of her martial soul. Her whole body exuded a mysterious and noble aura, making her completely different from before.

Bibi Dong breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Nana, how are you feeling?"

“I feel…” Hu Liena slowly got up, took a small step forward, and suddenly fell into Xuan Ming’s arms.

So fast!

Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly.

Even a Soul King specializing in agility-based attacks doesn't have this kind of speed!

"Would you like to test it?" Xuanming said.

Hu Liena felt the powerful energy within her body and nodded gently, "Mm."

"Let's go outside," Bibi Dong said.

Xuanming and Hu Liena exchanged a glance, then their figures flashed, and they arrived at a relatively open area outside the palace. Bibi Dong also followed and stood aside in case of any unexpected situations.

Hu Liena took a deep breath, and her aura surged again. The phantom of the nine-tailed celestial fox appeared and disappeared behind her, radiating a powerful pressure.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and rushed towards Xuanming like an arrow released from a bow. Her speed was so fast that she left afterimages in the air.

Xuanming instinctively reached out to defend, but Hu Liena suddenly dispersed after exchanging a punch with him, splitting into five phantoms that surrounded him.

"Hallucination?" Xuanming frowned slightly.

"Wait, a clone?"

"This is the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's innate ability: clones," said the Ice Dragon King.

"Every time the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox grows a tail, it can create a clone with the same strength as its original body. Moreover, the original body and the clone can switch places at will, making its ability to protect itself virtually invincible."

"One hundred percent?" Xuanming asked in confusion.

“That’s right,” said the Ice Dragon King.

"Moreover, for each tail a nine-tailed celestial fox grows, it gains a 10% boost to all its attributes. Once it grows to nine tails, its main body will have a 90% boost to all its attributes in its normal state, while its clones will not have this boost."

Xuanming's eye twitched slightly. "Isn't this a bit too much?"

"Brother, what do you think a nine-tailed celestial fox is?" the Ice Dragon King asked curiously.

"If there were no rule that prevents soul beasts from becoming gods, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox could directly ascend to godhood once it grows to nine tails. The name Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox itself represents a divine beast."

"Even in ancient times, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan was the most elite spirit-attribute soul beast, without exception!"

"Are there any limitations to this clone ability?" Xuanming asked.

"We can't just make things randomly, can we?"

“Of course there are limitations. Their ability to create clones is their life-saving skill. Once a clone is destroyed, they will temporarily lose a tail, and the amplification will also disappear, which is equivalent to losing a life,” the Ice Dragon King said.

"It will take a long time to recover."

Xuanming took a deep breath and created several thick ice crystal shields around himself. "Any other abilities?"

"Yes, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan possesses extremely strong mental abilities. Although they are known for their illusions, their unknown mental attack abilities are even more terrifying," said the Ice Dragon King.

"The foxfire of the nine-tailed celestial fox, that thing can burn spiritual energy."

"Burning spiritual energy?" Xuanming was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

“It means exactly what it says,” the Ice Dragon King said.

"The foxfire of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is a flame formed from spiritual power, which is a spiritual attack. However, it also burns spiritual power, making it extremely difficult to defend against. One wrong move and you'll be burned into an idiot!"

"Moreover, their ability is extremely well hidden, and almost no one knows about it. Most of the time, it is impossible to defend against. Anyone who knows about this move has been burned into an idiot by them."

"When facing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, you either get bewitched into an idiot by the illusions they create, or you see through the illusions and get burned into an idiot by the enraged Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!"

Xuanming's eye twitched slightly. "How do you know so much?"

"Then why don't you guess how the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan was wiped out?" the Ice Dragon King asked.

Xuanming was taken aback. "It couldn't have been wiped out by the dragons, could it?"

"Congratulations, you guessed right," said the Ice Dragon King.

"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan perished in the war with the Dragon Clan. I never imagined that there would still be remnants of that creature."

In ancient times, there were only a handful of soul beast races that could rival the dragon race, but the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was definitely the most daring among them!
Those cunning foxes even dared to incite the dragons to kill each other through illusions!

In the end, the Dragon Kings had to take action themselves to finally wipe out the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan.

After the Nine-Tailed Bloodline was severed, there were almost no more Celestial Foxes who could cultivate to become gods.

This little girl's demon fox martial soul belongs to the descendants of the Heavenly Fox clan. Therefore, after obtaining the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus, she was able to enhance her bloodline and evolve her martial soul into a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

“So…” Xuanming’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

"That nine-tailed celestial fox is targeting me, could it be because it has a grudge against you?"

The dragon race has always been the ruler of the soul beast race, but according to what the Ice Dragon King said, this nine-tailed celestial fox not only has no respect for the Ice Dragon King, but also tries every means to "rebel".

"Uh..." The Ice Dragon King was somewhat embarrassed.

"You could say that."

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan and the Dragon clan have a blood feud that led to their extermination!

Even if the nine-tailed celestial fox wasn't insane, it would definitely try every means to torment Xuanming!
