Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

With a deafening roar, the golden light barrier on the left was ripped apart! The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear Soul Saint's body bulged unnaturally, his seven soul rings flashing wildly, clearly having paid a huge price to forcefully break through the absolute defense! His eyes burned with rage and fury, and his blood-red giant claws condensed once more as he pounced again, disregarding everything!

Kong Tianxu didn't take it seriously. Even if the other party went with him through teleportation, he could easily deal with him together with the royal family's eighth-rank nanny.

However, just as the three figures were about to completely disappear into the silver light, his gaze suddenly swept towards the direction of the entrance to the secret passage.

An unusual light suddenly shone there.

"Your Highness, are we really not going to wait for Princess Tianzhen and Captain Jia?"

In the dark passage not long ago, the heavy metal door was about to swallow up the last ray of light from the outside world. A guard carrying a stretcher looked at Xu Tianran, whose face was flushed abnormally, and asked hesitantly.

"It's too late. They've already died in the first wave of explosions from the fixed-position soul tools. I will avenge them."

Xu Tianran clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness and coldness.

The guard trembled, lowered his head, and dared not say another word, silently quickening his pace.

Just as the metal door was about to close completely, a strange, gelatinous substance forced its way in. Upon entering, the substance rapidly expanded, actually lifting the massive metal door, which weighed tens of thousands of kilograms!

Several figures crawled in from the middle.

"Come on!"

Xu Tianran was filled with shock and urgently urged the guard beside him. No sooner had he spoken than a wisp of smoke-like shadow flew past his ear, instantly piercing through the guard who had just asked the question.

The stretcher supporting Xu Tianran suddenly tilted to the side. His eyes were bloodshot, and he could no longer care about anything else. He pushed the limp Ju Zi next to him off the stretcher.

Just as he was frantically trying to save himself, the loyal captain of the guards finally returned, activating several protective arrays in the secret passage and forcing back the assassin who had already gotten close.

"Good! Captain Jia, I will never forget your kindness today! What is the situation now? Can our men hold out using the secret passage formation?" Xu Tianran was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.

The captain of the royal guard, surnamed Jia, glanced at the blood-stained, lifeless girl on the ground. His eyelids were lowered as he parried attacks with his sword while reporting in a deep voice:

“Your Highness, including Rong Momo should have been enough, but she has already broken through to the south with Princess Tianzhen with the help of that young master.”

Xu Tianran's expression instantly darkened and changed, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly took out a strangely shaped metal object from his storage soul tool.

"Captain Jia, use this. No matter what, you must keep Rong Momo alive."

Xu Tianran gave the order in a cold voice. He still remembered Kong Deming's introduction of the function of this thing when he gave it to him as a gift: a spatial positioning soul guide that can forcibly change the position of the locked person within a certain range.

"...Yes." Captain Jia's hand trembled almost imperceptibly, but he still took it. Under the cover of the soul-guided shield, he quietly injected his soul power into it, aimed it at the direction in which Kong Tianxu and the others were breaking out, and activated this strange soul-guided device.

-

Kong Tianxu saw the strange light in his hand.

"Damn it!" he almost cursed aloud. But everything happened too fast; in a flash of silver light, Rong Momo's figure vanished instantly.

Amidst the towering pillar of light, he could only abruptly pull Xu Tianzhen behind him, so that they could meet the bloodthirsty demon bear's crimson eyes, almost face to face.

With a flash of light, the three of them vanished from their spot.

"Boss, the target got away. Should we chase after him?" A subordinate next to the level eight soul master asked hesitantly, looking at the empty field.

The cannons of the soul-guided turret coldly turned towards the depths of the dark passage, and a dull sound like metal scraping against metal rang out:

"Old Xiong went along too, so there shouldn't be any problems,"

He faced his companions who had been rolled back at the entrance of the secret passage, and hundreds of cannon muzzles began to gather chilling energy points.

"The most urgent task is to 'send off' our Crown Prince."

From those cold words, which seemed to possess the same metallic quality, a destructive torrent of energy erupted!

A strong sense of spatial distortion and dizziness assaulted my consciousness, and bizarre and surreal scenes flashed by. I don't know how much time passed; perhaps it was just a moment, or perhaps it was an endless period of time.

Kong Tianxu felt his body sink, and the surrounding scenery changed from the metallic underground banquet hall to a dark and silent forest a kilometer away.

As the silver halo dissipated, the two soul tools that Kong Tianxu had placed on his wrist and Cain had placed on the ground shattered inch by inch.

Kong Tianxu estimated that reinforcements would arrive in a while. Opposite him, the demonic bear, whose size seemed to have swelled even further under the previous berserk soul skill, shook its massive head and revealed an extremely human-like smile:

"Little friend, oh~ I should call you Kong Tianxu, you have quite a lot of good stuff, you almost managed to get away. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Tsk tsk, you've used high-level soul tools continuously, and your soul power hasn't been exhausted yet, you're a monster."

"But it seems like that's not enough for you to use a level seven soul tool again!"

With a roar, its mountain-like body charged forward again with an astonishing speed disproportionate to its size!

There really aren't many left.

Kong Tianxu fully activated the Myriad Beginnings Returning to Origin Domain and the Holy Primordial Spirit Gathering, silently thinking to himself:

If I were to kill you, I would only have one chance to strike.

A 50% chance of winning...

The earth trembled under the charging of the demonic bear. A pure golden aura gradually emanated from his body, while a deep purple aura gathered in the depths of his eyes.

Suddenly, a cool, slightly trembling hand firmly grasped his taut palm.

"Use this."

Xu Tianzhen's voice was unusually calm, carrying an unquestionable trust. After a night of terrifying ordeal, in this seemingly hopeless moment, she displayed extraordinary composure.

"If we're going to die, we'll die together. He won't get away with it either."

A warm, oval-shaped crystal fell into Kong Tianxu's hands.

In an instant, an indescribable sense of affinity welled up within him. He subconsciously raised his hand, and the moment he saw the crystal's shape, he was immediately struck by its appearance.

It turns out to be...

"None of us will die."

He gave Xu Tianzhen a deep look, then gently pushed him away with a surge of soul power. The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's devastating attack was imminent, the stench of blood making it hard to breathe.

Kong Tianxu suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with purple light. He did not dodge, but instead faced the giant claw that was about to smash everything. He held up the crystal with one arm and bravely met it!

Just before the bear's paw made contact with the crystal, time seemed to stand still.

The oval crystal suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light. The light was not blinding, but it carried an extremely powerful and majestic aura, as if a sleeping dragon had opened its eyes. A solid, eggshell-like golden light shield instantly expanded, perfectly protecting Kong Tianxu within it.

A gigantic hand, powerful enough to shatter mountains and split rocks, slammed down on the light barrier!

"boom--"

A deafening roar! The intertwined energy exploded in a ring, instantly snapping ancient trees within tens of meters in half and turning them into dust.

But the golden light barrier remained completely still, and a powerful force even pushed the bear's body backward. That extremely violent attack was completely and effortlessly dismantled by this seemingly thin light barrier.

In the instant that rage was replaced by terror in the giant bear's eyes

The resounding dragon roar seemed to echo from the depths of his soul! Bathed in the dazzling golden light, Kong Tianxu took a step forward, and the sleeve of his right arm instantly burst open, revealing a silver dragon scale pattern that flashed by, rippling with a completely different color at his fingertips.

That Bloodthirsty Demon Bear Soul Saint was no ordinary person. Although he did not sense any danger from that strange light, he still used his strongest defense again as he retreated rapidly.

As an earth-attribute soul master, and in his strongest martial soul true form, he was confident that neither the fire, wind, and ice elements that Kong Tianxu had previously displayed, nor the lightning-like elements he was currently using, could do anything to him.

A flash of lightning, and the strange light approached and took shape in an instant. He finally saw the true form of that strange light.

That's not Thunder.

It was a brilliant purple light, as deep and pure as the boy's eyes, enough to make all life fear it.

There was no loud collision, no explosive burst of energy. Only a soft, tearing sound, like ripping silk.

The soul guide shield, which contained nearly a third of the soul power of a level 79 Soul Saint, along with the thick fur, tough muscles, and heavy earth-attribute protective soul power of the Martial Soul True Body, vanished silently before this not-so-bright purple aura, like a hot knife cutting into solidified grease.

The dragon claw seemed to penetrate the bloodthirsty demon bear's furry chest without any hindrance. The giant bear's retreating movement suddenly froze, and its massive, upright body was like a mountain that had been instantly stripped of all its support.

He looked down, staring incredulously at the dragon claw embedded in his body.

No blood spurted out

Everything that came into contact with that purple flesh, bones, and internal organs instantly turned into the finest dust and returned to nothingness.

The giant bear opened its mouth, but no sound came out; only a hissing sound came from its throat.

Those ferocious, scarlet eyes quickly dimmed, filled with endless fear and bewilderment. Its massive body swayed slightly, and the breath of life dissipated rapidly like the receding tide.

Xu Tianzhen's pupils contracted sharply, overwhelmed with shock.

She had seen that destructive purple countless times.

Purple Emperor Annihilates the Heavenly Dragon!

She covered her mouth tightly, choking back her gasp, afraid of disturbing Kong Tianxu.

So this is his martial soul... Xu Tianzhen murmured to himself.

Born from the miracle of the fusion of the Silver Moon and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon—

Silver Dragon of Destruction.

Chapter 68 The Dragon's Curse Embryo, Golden Bloodline? (Part 1)

Kong Tianxu's eyes shone with a vibrant purple light, and an aura of destruction spread from his fingertips. The thick, almost tangible, earthy-yellow light that enveloped the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear Soul Saint's entire body in his death throes was greatly amplified by his final counterattack, but it could not stop Kong Tianxu's right claw from continuously extending into his body.

Xu Tianzhen was not mistaken; what he was using now was the destructive attribute derived from the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

As the head of the Royal Palace who possesses one-quarter of the royal bloodline, and the first person in the history of the Sun Moon Empire to possess twin martial souls, Kong Deming inherited not only the Silver Moon martial soul of his family, but also the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, the strongest of the two inherited martial souls of the Sun Moon Royal Family.

Kong Tianxu once speculated that the origin of his Silver Dragon Martial Soul, in addition to inheriting the aura of the Silver Dragon Soul Ring that had been integrated into the Kong family bloodline in his early years, should be more due to the mysterious fusion and mutation that occurred under the guidance of his supreme talent between the Silver Moon and Purple Radiance Extinction Dragon Martial Souls.

The first silver dragon in the world, the Silver Dragon King who sleeps beneath the waters of life in the Starry Forest, was formed from the Dragon God bathing in the radiance of the moon.

All the ordinary silver dragons that followed were not her true bloodline descendants, but rather dragons who were infected by the aura of the sun and moon's radiance and the purest bloodline of the dragon race.

The Purple Radiance Extinction Dragon bloodline that Kong Tianxu awakened is already infinitely close to the source of this dragon species, the sub-dragon ancestor who was born alongside the Dragon God.

When this bloodline merges with the Silver Moon, it is as if the process of the Silver Dragon King's birth is being reenacted, ultimately mutating into a Destructive Silver Dragon that does not possess the iconic spiritual attributes of a Silver Dragon, but is even more domineering.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon claw had already penetrated deep into the lungs of the bloodthirsty demon bear. Just as it was about to touch the beating heart of the giant bear, Kong Tianxu suddenly sensed something.

"It arrived faster than I expected."

In a murmur that only he could hear, the last trace of purple light on the dragon's silver-scaled claws dissipated, and the eggshell-like light that enveloped him also vanished.

With these two barriers gone, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear Soul Saint's earth-yellow soul power finally erupted, violently sending him flying despite his seemingly defenseless state.

"Tianxu!" Xu Tianzhen finally snapped out of her shock and rushed toward him without hesitation.

"presumptuous!"

A chilling roar exploded from the distance, followed by a series of blazing fireballs that shot towards the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear like miniature suns. Each fireball was over a meter in diameter and instantly surrounded the frozen body of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.
