The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Both the Crimson King and the Jade Princess remained silent, while the Demon King looked at the disheveled Bear King with a disdainful sneer, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

He found it hard to feel any goodwill towards this arrogant, domineering, muscle-bound guy.

When the plant-type soul beasts under his control discovered traces of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, he relayed this information to several other ferocious beasts.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a soul beast, must be eradicated once it appears in the Star Dou Great Forest. This is because if its cultivation reaches the 100,000-year level, it will threaten their dominance. Among the five ferocious beasts present, besides Di Tian, ​​who dares to say they can reliably suppress a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with 100,000-year cultivation?

Even Xiong Jun, who is known for his formidable combat prowess, would probably find it difficult to achieve.

The Demon King had clearly stated that the plant-type soul beasts under his command sensed at least a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years, but Xiong Jun, who took the initiative to eliminate it, didn't care at all.

Later, Xiong Jun mocked the Demon King for making a fuss, saying it was just a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with about eight thousand years of cultivation. He could easily destroy it with his dark golden claws.

Upon hearing Xiong Jun's words, the Demon King was also puzzled. He knew that although Xiong Jun was a bit dim-witted, he never stooped to lying. If he had said that, then he must have found a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with eight thousand years of cultivation.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is only slightly rarer than auspicious beasts; the possibility of two appearing in the Star Dou Great Forest at once is extremely slim. However, he felt that the senses of his plant-type soul beasts were probably accurate, and he hesitated for a moment. Out of caution, he mentioned it to Xiong Jun, but the self-important Xiong Jun naturally didn't take his words to heart, thinking he was just being cowardly.

However, it has now been proven that what the plant-type soul beasts under the King of Ten Thousand Demons sensed was indeed a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a cultivation of over ten thousand years.

It was purely by sheer chance that Xiong Jun found another Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with eight thousand years of cultivation.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xiong Jun will inevitably suffer a setback today, as he will not be able to escape unscathed from Di Tian's grasp.

The situation has now become clear. The eight-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that was severely injured by Xiong Jun was the same one that Xu Zihuang encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest a year ago. It later perished under his Radiant Dragon Claw and became his third soul ring.

The ten-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that the plant-type soul beasts under the Ten Thousand Demon King sensed was the same one that had just severely injured the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Chapter 225 Xu Zihuang's Fortune and Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul

Under the oppressive power of the Emperor, a hint of resentment flashed in Xiong Jun's eyes as he lowered his head.

With a low growl, it transformed into a massive bear, standing a full fifteen meters tall. In terms of imposing presence, it was even more powerful than the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound Crimson King, which had also revealed its true form. Its body was covered in a thick, heavy layer of dark golden fur, and its arms were incredibly long, hanging down at its sides, even extending past its knees. In other words, its two thick arms were over ten meters long, and the muscles on its shoulders bulged exaggeratedly like small hills.

In terms of cultivation level and ranking, he is not as good as Biji and Wan Yaowang, but in terms of combat power, Biji, Wan Yaowang, or even the three of them together, probably would not be his match.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a creature truly capable of tearing apart dragons with its bare hands. Its bloodline is so noble that only Emperor Tian, ​​the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with pure dragon blood, can surpass it among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

Xiong Jun's equally exaggerated claws, radiating an extremely sharp aura, surged with dark golden light, finally experiencing a significant reduction in pressure under Di Tian's might. The emotions in his eyes also shifted, as he forcibly suppressed the trace of resentment deep within them.

He lacked wisdom and had challenged the might of the Beast God Di Tian several times. But he wasn't stupid either; compared to the other three ferocious beasts, he understood Di Tian's power far better.

"Di Tian, ​​I did indeed defeat a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with eight thousand years of cultivation back then. I didn't expect that there would be a second Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest." After transforming into his true form, his voice was deep and resonant.

"Did you not expect it, or did you not take the Demon King's warning to heart?" Di Tian snorted coldly, his voice like a thunderclap.

With a raised right hand, a massive, pitch-black claw shadow appeared out of thin air from the space in front of Xiong Jun, and landed on Xiong Jun's body in the next instant.

With a scream, Xiong Jun's massive body transformed into a blur, crashing into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, carving a long, continuous ravine into the ground.

Only the solid, dark gold fur remained, scattering in the air.

Crimson King and Jade Princess's expressions turned solemn. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's defensive power was incredibly strong, yet even as the king of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, with a cultivation level of 470,000 years, it was difficult for it to protect itself from a casual swipe of Di Tian's claw.

The Demon King, who had been hovering behind Di Tian, ​​had already landed beside the Crimson King, his face filled with awe.

Di Tian didn't even glance at the direction Xiong Jun had flown out of. When he arrived in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the coldness in his eyes instantly turned into gentleness and doting.

"You little rascal! Don't leave the core area so easily again. Even if you want to leave, you must tell the Crimson King who is guarding you. If he hadn't arrived in time today, you would have been in trouble. And those two human Title Douluos didn't attack you, but they were only restrained by the Crimson King's presence. I told you long ago that for us soul beasts, the most dangerous people are human soul masters. Never underestimate the greed and evil intentions of humans."

The confusion in the three-eyed golden lion's eyes faded considerably, and it raised its head to look at Di Tian, ​​its eyes carrying a strange light.

"Di Tian, ​​are all humans like you say?"

Upon hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's words, Bi Ji, the Crimson King, and the Demon King all turned their gazes to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at each other, and after a moment of contemplation, Di Tian spoke softly.

“Little one, I have never lived in the human world, so I cannot give you a definite answer. But at least most of the human soul masters who enter our Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts are like that. Human soul masters and us soul beasts are naturally on opposite sides.”

The three-eyed golden lion fell silent, lost in thought.

"Alright, let's go home first. I'll have Biji give you a thorough check-up later. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses extremely evil attributes. If that evil energy invades your body, it could very well affect your future growth." As he said this, Di Tian's deep voice was filled with a hint of murderous intent.

"After ten thousand years of getting along, I have long since regarded you as my friend, Di Tian, ​​even as my child. That Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dares to harm you, so it must be prepared to bear my wrath. King of Ten Thousand Demons, pass on my order to have all the Starry Sky forces search for the whereabouts of that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with all their might."

"Yes, Emperor Tian." The Demon King stepped forward and respectfully replied.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stood up in a daze. Just as it was about to obey Di Tian's words and leave, it suddenly turned back and looked in the direction where the Azure Flame Dragon's true form had left. The memory of that young man had become even more vivid in its mind, but it would take a considerable amount of time to digest this memory.

The tumultuous experiences of Xu Zihuang in the short span of twelve years since his birth have had a tremendous impact on this imperial mythical beast.

That touch just now not only exchanged their memories, but for some unknown reason, Xu Zihuang also extracted most of its pure golden dragon bloodline. Furthermore, the power of destiny it controlled was originally intended to be passed on to Xu Zihuang through this connection, but Xu Zihuang rejected it.

It wasn't that Xu Zihuang subjectively rejected it, but rather that the power of fate was restrained by Xu Zihuang's even stronger fortune.

As favored by fate, auspicious beasts rarely encounter threats. The only reasons for a threat are either that it meets an opponent whose fortune happens to counter it, or that it is simply its destiny.

Because auspicious beasts possess a certain ability to control destiny, bottlenecks will inevitably appear in their fortunes, just like the bottlenecks encountered by soul masters during their cultivation.

Xu Zihuang may be its bottleneck, its destiny, or perhaps its opponent who happens to be able to restrain it in terms of fortune.

Clearly, Xu Zihuang was the latter. But unfortunately, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was unaware of this. Even though Xu Zihuang was fortunate enough to have the upper hand over its opponent, under the guidance of fate, their future trajectories would eventually converge again.

"What's wrong?" Noticing the strange behavior of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Biji asked gently.

The three-eyed golden lion shook its large golden head.

"It's nothing, Sister Brigitte. Let's go back."

……

Meanwhile, in the outer area to the northwest of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Two figures rushed out of the Star Dou Great Forest in a disheveled state.

Although at first glance there are only two figures, there are actually four people in total. This is because two of them have completely lost consciousness and are being carried on the backs of the other two.

Leading the charge was a girl who appeared to be around fifteen years old. She had a cool and aloof appearance, a tall and slender figure, and long black hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a white, form-fitting outfit, and her long legs were particularly eye-catching.

However, she looked extremely disheveled, covered in mud, with some of her long hair, which was tied up, falling messily onto her delicate face.

"Vina! Vina!" The girl's chest heaved violently as she anxiously called out to the other girl clinging to her back.

The girl called Vina, clinging to her back, was about the same age as her, with long, flowing black hair and dressed in a pale yellow outfit. Vina was extremely beautiful, in no way inferior to Jiang Nannan, who was known as the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy. Her eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes draped over her eyelids, but her face was deathly pale, and even her breathing had become weak. Despite being unconscious, she gave off a fragile and gentle feeling.

Upon realizing this, the aloof girl's expression changed drastically, and she stopped in her tracks.

Following closely behind the aloof young woman was a thin young man, on whose back sat a middle-aged man covered in blood. The middle-aged man appeared to be around forty years old, his bones seemingly shattered, his limbs hanging limply at his sides.

The gaunt young man also reached out a hand to check the middle-aged man's breath, and roared in a trembling voice, "Miss, what should we do? My brother is dying!"

The aloof girl bit her red lips tightly, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

They originally only planned to hunt two suitable soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the soul beasts they needed to hunt were only about five thousand years old.

Leading their group was Mo Feiyun, the elder brother the thin young man had mentioned, a Soul Saint-level expert. Five Soul Masters with cultivation levels of Soul King or higher also accompanied them.

Normally, such a lineup would have been more than enough to hunt down two thousand-year-old soul beasts, but unfortunately, they were caught up in the battle between the three Crimson Demon Mastiffs and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with 50,000 years of cultivation in the mixed zone.

Moreover, the direction in which the Dark Demon Tiger fled later largely overlapped with the location where they were.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger certainly wouldn't care about these ants, but even the aftershocks from a clash between soul beasts of this level were not easy to withstand. Four of the five soul masters with the cultivation level of Soul King died on the spot, and only the thin young man survived.

Mo Feiyun was severely injured while protecting the two girls. The aloof girl fared somewhat better, but the girl named Vina fared much worse. Vina was only a support-type Soul Master, and her physical abilities couldn't compare to those of the battle Soul Masters. Moreover, her location was closest to the center of the clash between the Crimson King and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Although Mo Feiyun risked his life to shield Vina from the aftershocks, he still lost consciousness on the spot.

The aloof girl tried her best to calm herself down, then suddenly looked towards the northwest as if she had thought of something.

His tone was incredibly firm, yet held onto a final glimmer of hope.

“Go to Shrek Academy. The people at Shrek Academy will definitely have a way to heal Vina and Master Mo’s injuries.”

Vina, you absolutely cannot get hurt. As the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, you have even greater responsibilities on your shoulders.

……

At Shrek Academy, a colossal azure dragon, over thirty meters long, roared through the air, its wingspan obscuring the sky as it flew towards the Sea God Pavilion. The dragon's body was wreathed in imposing azure flames, with only its majestic claws protruding from them.

Xu Zihuang sat cross-legged on the dragon's head, entering a deep meditative state. Qian Duoduo, meanwhile, was supporting He Caitou, who was still unconscious, not far behind Xu Zihuang.

At that moment, the morning classes of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard were about to begin, and many students who were on their way to class witnessed this extremely shocking scene.

"Is this the True Form of a Martial Soul?! A Title Douluo?!" Someone exclaimed upon seeing the nine soul rings pulsating around the Azure Flame Dragon.

Sakura, who was perched on the edge of the corridor railing of Class 3, Grade 2, said to Ning Tian in surprise.

"Sister Tian'er, look, isn't that Yu Tianhuang sitting on that dragon head?"

Ning Tian immediately looked in the direction Ying Ke'er pointed, and saw not only Xu Zihuang, but also He Caitou and Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, behind Xu Zihuang.

When she went to the Soul Guidance Department with Xu Zihuang to study Soul Guidance Devices, she also met the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

"Has something gone wrong?"

A deep look of worry appeared in Ning Tian's eyes.

Unless something unexpected happened, returning to the academy wouldn't have been such a big fuss.

The azure dragon flashed by and landed steadily on the Sea God Pavilion.

Xian Lin'er transformed back into human form and looked at Xu Zihuang, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Sea God Pavilion cultivating. She was furious.

Her actions naturally alarmed the higher-ups at Shrek Academy. Not only the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, but also Yan Shaozhe, the dean and vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, and Cai Meier, even Zhang Lexuan, a prospective member of the Sea God Pavilion, rushed over.

Just then, Elder Mu's gentle voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Duoduo, take He Caitou back to rest. Lexuan, you stay with Tianhuang and watch over him. Everyone else, come in."

"Yes, Elder Mu," everyone replied in unison.

The elders entered the Sea God Pavilion one after another. Elder Mu remained reclining in a chair at one end of the long table, waving his hand to signal everyone to sit down. At the same time, he asked Xian Lin'er, "Tell me, Lin'er, what happened?"

"Yes, teacher." Xian Lin'er sat up straight and recounted her experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest in detail.

"A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with 50,000 years of cultivation?" Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the elders changed drastically.

Yan Shaozhe asked uncertainly, "Does this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger really exist in this world? And with a cultivation level of 50,000 years? Lin'er, could you be mistaken?"

"Yan Shaozhe, do you think I'm deliberately lying to the elders? Or do you think there's any soul beast with a cultivation of around 50,000 years that can fight against the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound Crimson King with a cultivation of 300,000 years without being at a significant disadvantage?" Xian Lin'er was already holding back her anger, and immediately stood up to question him.

"Back then, our ancestor Tang San killed a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with 60,000 years of cultivation and absorbed its spirit ring. How could a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger not exist in this world?"

"Lin'er." Sitting to Mu Lao's right, Lin Lao frowned and scolded.

Xianlin took a deep breath, calmed down, and returned to her seat.
