Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 418 Energy Transformation, Be Careful, Headless Xingtian

The black hair behind the Soft Bone Dharma Image's head resembled a winding giant python. With a flick of its wrist, it stirred up a hundred-foot-long stream of air, which struck the Star Giant's neck with a "smack" and then wrapped around its neck.

Then, the Soft Bone Dharma Form kicked it in the abdomen, twisted its waist, and transmitted the force to its neck, actually shaking the entire Star Giant.

Whoosh!

When the scorpion's long braid came undone, the Star Giant had already been thrown nearly five thousand meters into the air.

"Now!"

Fire Dance's eyes blazed with fire. She activated her second soul skill, Sunrise, and her fourth soul skill, Fire Sun Armor, simultaneously, boosting all her attributes. Then, she raised her arms high, forming a calyx shape. A ring made of twisted flames and light encircled her hands, with a diameter of nearly seventy meters.

In his hand, a crimson-gold energy ball with a diameter of over fifty meters instantly condensed.

Then--

Boom!

A golden beam of light shot out, hurtling straight towards the spun star giant high in the sky.

This is Huo Wu's third soul skill: Huo Wu Yao Yang.

Amidst the blazing, dazzling pillars of light, the Star Giant ceased its rotation, but its energy-based "skin" seemed to be melting away.

"This power... the sun?" Xu Fu felt as if his body was about to be burned to ashes. His gaze fell upon Huo Wu, who was wearing a set of crystal-red armor. He gritted his teeth and thought, "I never expected that a martial soul similar to the Sun Martial Soul would exist on this continent, and... it's so scorching hot, just like the real sun!"

Click!

Suddenly, a point of light cracked open between the brows of the Star Giant, and the back of its head shattered as well, from which an arrow flashing with eight colors pierced through.

Guangling slowly lowered the Sun Chasing Bow and exhaled, "It really takes a lot of soul power to fuse the eight elements of gold, light, thunder, ice, fire, wind, earth, and darkness together into an arrow."

Although Guangling's main job is researching soul tools, she has not neglected her own cultivation. On the contrary, because of her research on the combination of basic attributes of soul tools and the combination of soul tool patterns, she has gained a better understanding of the fusion of her own soul power attributes. In some aspects, even Gu Yuena has to learn from her. It is true that Gu Yuena controls the elements, but she is very rough in the details. The only thing worth praising is her meticulous control over the elements. Once she has the corresponding element combination equations, she can learn them in one go.

This arrow, formed by the fusion of eight elements, is the most powerful one that Lightfeather can currently use. It is created based on the three attributes of metal, earth, and ice, and then propelled by the five attributes of lightning, fire, wind, light, and darkness.

Its speed is so fast that it even rivals one-twentieth of the speed of light!

Therefore, no one could see this attack clearly; even Tang San could only vaguely catch a glimpse of it.

To dodge it, one must anticipate the direction of the arrow fired by the Light Feather; otherwise, one can only wait to be pierced by this arrow that combines eight elements.

After the Star Giant's brow was pierced, the elemental power within the arrow was injected into it in that instant, causing it to erupt in a flash.

In an instant, the entire head of the Star Giant was covered with cracks, from which flames emerged, mixed with blue lightning, and even invisible wind blades.

Bang!

In less than three seconds, his entire head shattered.

However, the Star Giant with its shattered head did not die. Its breasts turned into eyes, and its swirling navel became a mouth.

This is because Xu Fu at this time was an energy form; his head was not actually a brain, and his consciousness was dispersed throughout his body.

Since it has no head, it uses its breasts as eyes and its navel as a mouth.

However, with his head shattered, Xu Fu also lost part of his memory. At this moment, he had forgotten who he was, why he was standing in mid-air, and what he was going to do.

"What the hell is this?!" Yu Feng's eyes widened. "It's headless, yet still alive, and it has eyes and a mouth on its chest! Is this even human?"

Guangling examined the headless star giant standing in mid-air, whose body was beginning to shrink, and slowly said, "He is not human now, at least not from the perspective of bloodline factors. He is an energy-based life form... It seems that because I smashed his head, he has forgotten some of his memories."

"But there's no need to worry too much. His head is already shattered, and his energy is leaking out. He's already beyond saving."

As the giant star's body grew smaller and smaller, it also fell rapidly downwards.

boom!

When the paint peeled off, its height had increased to three or four meters, even taller than the original Xu Fu. However, its body was shriveled, with two large eyes on its chest. The place where its navel used to be had become a large mouth, and its head had disappeared. It was an extremely strange creature.

More importantly, this thing is still alive!

Xiao Wu had already dispelled her Soft Bone Dharma Form, and her energy was rapidly restored with the help of the Blue Silver Emperor. She arrived in front of the headless Xu Fu.

Yu Tianheng and the others also gathered around at this time, because they sensed that this guy's soul power fluctuations were constantly weakening, from being as vast as the ocean to being like a drop of rain, just like a deflated balloon, and was no longer a threat.

"Huh? He's not dead?" Xiao Wu observed that the other person's neck had healed, but it was uneven. However, the various circulations in his body had started to work again, saving his life, although the efficiency was relatively low.

Using her spiritual power to sense it, Xiao Wu revealed a look of amazement—

This guy's brain is actually combined with his stomach!

In an energetic state, the skull shatters and returns to normal. With nowhere to place the brain, it merges and reorganizes with the stomach and intestines, organs that have many folds similar to the brain, forming a completely new brain.

So, what should we call it?

Brain and gut?

Or gut-brain?

Despite being very curious about this life form, Xiao Wu also realized that when using techniques that can transform one's own energy, all aspects must be considered.

Otherwise, like Xu Fu, who lost his head, his brain fused with his intestines.

There's also Chrysanthemum Fairy/Mr. Ghost, who energizes her physical body along with her martial soul, fusing the martial soul in the form of her martial soul bone armor true body, making them inseparable.

"What should we do with this guy?" Huo Wu looked at Xiao Wu.

"It's a good research subject, let's keep it for now." Xiao Wu told Gu Yuena to put it into the Golden Rope Treasure Pouch, since Gu Yuena was the only one present who carried a storage soul tool that could store living things.

Helpless, Gu Yuena could only put the headless Xing Tian into her Golden Rope Treasure Pouch.

Then, Xiao Wu's gaze fell on the battlefield between Tang San and You Hongchen in the distance. She said to Yu Feng and Bai Chenxiang, "That peerless one has come over, which proves that the new batch of troops from the Sun Moon Empire is not far from Xiaohai City. You go and command Marshal Ge Long and tell them to hurry up and take the prisoners and spoils back to Soul Customs first."
