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

At the same time, a rich, sweet fragrance permeated the air. Stimulated by this sweet fragrance, all the other vines swarmed towards them, and those ferocious, bright red flowers filled their vision.

"Plop, plop—" Orange and Coco fell to the ground one after another, the feeling of drowsiness and the hallucination of pleasure constantly invading them, and their consciousness became blurred.

At this critical moment, Xu Zihuang wrapped his arms around the waists of the two men and retreated rapidly.

That cloyingly sweet aroma was clearly poisonous.

"How is this possible?! There are actually Nightmare Man-Eating Flowers here?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in Xu Zihuang's sea of ​​consciousness, filled with disbelief.

"Zihuang, what kind of luck do you guys have?"

"Nightmare Man-Eating Flower? Tianmeng, do you recognize this plant-type soul beast?"

"The Nightmare Man-Eating Flower is one of the most terrifying plant-type soul beasts. Back when I was in the Star Dou Great Forest, those bastards in the core area almost wiped out these plant-type soul beasts. The most terrifying thing about the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower isn't its own devouring power, but its Nightmare Toxin. Often, soul beasts or humans don't feel any danger and just fall asleep in its Nightmare Toxin. This Nightmare Man-Eating Flower's cultivation is at least over ten thousand years old, and its Nightmare Toxin is even more potent." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice became lazy again when it saw Xu Zihuang had reached a safe area.

"Anyway, your second martial soul has the attribute of destruction, so you only need to circulate your soul power for a while to clear the toxins from your body. That's why you can still stay conscious. But these two girls are different. This nightmare toxin has super strong penetrating power and can even seep in through the pores without needing to breathe. It will erupt in a short time and paralyze the brain. Once the toxin invades the sea of ​​consciousness, then there is no hope."

Tianmeng Bingcan chuckled, his expression becoming even more lewd.

"So, you'd better use your soul power, which has destructive properties, to detoxify them now. And you'll also need to take off their clothes. As I said before, that stuff can seep in through the pores."

In the eyes of that sleazy Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, this seemed to be a reward for Xu Zihuang. A very big reward at that.

Xu Zihuang frowned slightly. He knew that Tianmeng Bingcan was right. Even he felt a little dizzy.

This nightmare toxin is indeed potent.

But in the next moment, Xu Zihuang's vision suddenly blurred without warning, as if he had fallen into endless darkness.

Darkness, accompanied by excruciating pain, extinguished Xu Zihuang's consciousness.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the darkness, enveloping and devouring Xu Zihuang's fading consciousness. The light flashed by like countless images, each one a self-contained world, as if traversing millions of years.

All his memories were stripped away, replaced by a completely new kind of memory.

This was a spacious, opulent room. A damp, chilly, salty sea breeze poured in through the glass windows on the south side of the room.

The scrape stung Xu Zihuang's cheek, but he seemed oblivious as he rose and looked up at the thick city walls outside the window, which resembled a prison. A hint of bewilderment appeared in his lifeless, deep purple eyes. He went to the windowsill, where his reflection could be seen through the glass window.

His long, black hair was disheveled and cascaded down his back. His handsome face looked only about eighteen years old, but his eyes were filled with numbness, vicissitudes, and despair. His cheeks were thin, his complexion was pale, and even his steps were unsteady.

He stood there, disheveled. He had seen this face countless times, but today it felt strangely unfamiliar.

"Your Highness, you should rest now."

A middle-aged man dressed in dark blue armor approached Xu Zihuang from behind. Accompanying him were ten exquisitely dressed noblewomen, each possessing outstanding beauty and poise, and unique charm.

"Commander Haixiao?" Xu Zihuang muttered to himself.

Hai Xiao understood and left the room. The ten noble girls looked up at Xu Zihuang, their eyes filled with complex emotions such as burning desire, longing, and pity, but there was no admiration or true affection in them.

Chapter 265 Reincarnation

The warm, soft glow of the soul-guiding light blocked out the chill from outside the window. Light and shadow intertwined. Xu Zihuang lay on the spacious bed, gazing up at the ceiling.

His eyes were lifeless as one noblewoman after another swayed against his body. The long period of imprisonment had long since numbed his body and mind.

Past memories surfaced one by one in my mind.

Before the age of five, he was the son of a powerful prince in the Sun Moon Empire, but after that palace coup, he was exiled overseas. This imprisonment lasted for thirteen years, spanning his childhood and adolescence.

When he awakened his martial soul at the age of six, the twin martial souls and innate full soul power brought him laughable hope.

Having awakened his memories of his past life, the precocious young man also managed to conceal his first martial soul, the Golden Eye, with remarkable ease.

But all of this was in vain. What's the point of having exceptional talent if you can't escape this place?

Ironically, under the instructions of his elder brother, Xu Tianran, he became a tool for perpetuating the pure royal bloodline from the age of fifteen.

Like a stud horse, imprisoned in this cage.

Faced with such humiliation, he resisted, flew into a rage, and even fell into depravity. In the end, he was forced to accept this cruel reality, transforming into the inhuman, ghost-like figure he is today.

As it turns out, people are not as strong as we imagine.

A series of rustling sounds arose, and the flushed noblewomen dressed themselves again and left the room contentedly.

That Crown Prince promised that once a descendant with the powerful Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul is conceived, their family and the descendants themselves will receive immense benefits.

Xu Zihuang calmed his breathing; the emptiness and stinging sensation in his body could no longer stir his emotions.

His elder brother, the current Crown Prince Xu Tianran, forced him to take a lot of drugs that depleted his physical potential and vitality in order to make those noble ladies give birth to offspring with outstanding cultivation talent and pure royal blood as soon as possible.

Given his current physical condition, he won't live for more than a few years.

If he could even commit suicide, he would never have wanted to prolong his life like this.

Xu Zihuang sat up and leaned against the headboard as if it were a routine matter, his gaze never leaving the ceiling.

Not long after, the commander of the West Sea Soul Master Corps, Haixiao, who was in charge of supervising him, walked in with heavy steps.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the room did not cause the usually stern-faced Commander Haixiao to show any unusual expression. He simply approached Xu Zihuang's bedside with a respectful yet somewhat reluctant expression.

After all, Xu Zihuang's father, the Prince Zihuang, had once been kind to him. Yet, he was unable to protect the descendant of his benefactor.

Xu Zihuang asked Hai Xiao in a calm voice.

"Commander Haixiao, what's the situation on the mainland lately?"

"The Empire has launched a full-scale war against the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent. Recently, the Empress and the God of War have almost occupied the entire territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The remaining members of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family have arrived in Shrek City under the escort of the Body Sect," Hai Xiao answered methodically.

Over the years, Xu Zihuang has learned about many major events that have occurred on the mainland from Hai Xiao.

For example, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament held in Mingdu about a year ago. Shrek Academy's Golden Dragon Queen Qiu'er, Body Sect's Seven-Ring Soul Saint Long Aotian, and Shrek Academy's Twin Martial Soul Master Huo Yuhao all shone brightly.

It wasn't that he still harbored any hope of escaping; he simply wanted to add a touch of color to his otherwise lifeless existence.

Time keeps passing, but on this desolate island, you can hardly feel the changing of the seasons.

Xu Zihuang's health deteriorated to the point that two years later he could only recline on a deckchair by the window. Most of his long black hair had turned gray.

On this day, Hai Xiao brought shocking news. The Emperor of the Jin Yue Empire had been assassinated; this was Xu Tianran, who had ascended the throne a few years earlier.

Upon hearing the news of Xu Tianran's death, Xu Zihuang felt little emotional change.

He gave a cryptic laugh, not out of relief or a sense of letting go of hatred, but out of helplessness and self-mockery.

Because his life was also coming to an end. Looking back on his life, it was a complete tragedy.

Xu Tianran's death did not cause any turmoil in the Sun Moon Empire, and the Empress and War Goddess rose to power. However, for some unknown reason, the Sun Moon Empire's army, which was clearly in a favorable position during the siege of Star Luo City, suddenly withdrew its troops and renamed the Sun Moon Empire the Heavenly Dou Empire.

However, another palace coup soon occurred within the royal family, and the dynasty was renamed the Sun and Moon Empire. The whereabouts of the Empress and the God of War remain unknown.

The royal family was embroiled in internal strife, leaving no time to attend to Xu Zihuang, the exiled prince. With Xu Tianran's death, Hai Xiao seemed to have broken free of his constraints and wanted to bring him back to the mainland.

But Xu Zihuang refused, and he spent his last days in this castle.

On his deathbed, he heard some rumors about the mainland from Haixiao.

Lingbing Douluo ascended to the God Realm and created the Soul Spirit System, which was enough to revolutionize the Soul Master world. The Spirit Pagoda also grew rapidly in a short period of time.

As he listened to the whispers in his ear, his vision began to darken. He had already resigned himself to his fate, but a deep sense of resentment stirred within him.

It's like traversing a distant time and space, restarting every timeline, like a cycle of reincarnation.

In another cycle of reincarnation, he awakened the memories of his past life once again, and he continued to endure them.

Lady Luck seemed to be on his side.

His father's former subordinates risked their lives to rescue him.

Having escaped his cage, he was full of ambition, but he was caught up by the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps and Shadow Douluo Xue Chen sent by Xu Tianran in the western sea of ​​the Sun Moon Empire.

Wang Xiao and Yao Yang led the remnants of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps in a desperate fight, but ultimately they were outnumbered.

Right before his eyes, he was personally killed by Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps and the Mad Bull Douluo.

At that moment, for some unknown reason, Xu Zihuang felt an overwhelming sense of resolve and ended his life with the soul-guided longsword beside him.

His wide eyes were filled with a look of unwilling despair.

He didn't want to be imprisoned in that cage any longer. This thought was almost irrational.

In one lifetime, thanks to the desperate protection of Wang Xiao and others, he survived and landed alone in the southern seas of the Sun Moon Empire. He traveled north along the Mingdou Great Forest, hoping to use its dense forests to evade the pursuit of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

Moreover, this was done more than a year earlier than expected. At this time, the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire had not yet broken out.

Having consumed various rare and precious herbs since childhood, coupled with the amplification brought by his twin martial souls and innate full soul power, he managed to escape for half a month and luckily survived the ordeal.

But his body was on the verge of collapse. His entire body was torn apart by thorns, with not a single spot intact.

Before he lost consciousness, he saw a family of three having a picnic in the mountains, living a harmonious and happy life together. The middle-aged man was kind and honest, the beautiful woman was gentle and pretty, and there was a black-haired girl who was lazy yet somewhat naive.

He was taken back to a nearby town by the family of three and it took him a full six months to recover.

The townspeople were just as kind as the family of three, showing no hostility towards him, an outsider. The family, in particular, treated him like their own son and were willing to take him in.

With nowhere else to go, he decided to stay.

Xu Zihuang also learned the girl's name: Ju Zi. She was the Empress and War Goddess he knew from his past life's memories.

In this life, he made a special trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. However, he didn't encounter Tianmeng Ice Silkworm again, nor did he meet Ilex. He didn't even meet Tang Ya and Bei Bei, thus cutting off his last chance to study at Shrek Academy.

The Orange family are citizens of the Sun Moon Empire, and merely commoners. Obtaining a recommendation letter from Shrek Academy is nothing short of a pipe dream.

However, relying on his memories from his previous life, Xu Zihuang changed the fate of the Ju family. At his suggestion, the family of four moved to the city closest to their small town. He also tried his best to inform the townspeople, but unfortunately, only a very small number of them were willing to listen to his advice.

Orange's father was a very good cook, and his business was booming in that small city.

Touched by the Orange family, his cold heart gradually melted. But the hatred in his heart never subsided for a moment.

A genius is a genius.

Even without the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he was destined to shine as brightly as the Golden Sun.

Because of his previous experiences, Xu Zihuang dared not display any overly remarkable talent, fearing it would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. He remained patient until he was eleven years old, and only after his appearance had changed significantly did he risk entering the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to study.

Within just a few years, he began to show his talent, surpassing Ju Zi, who had entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy a few years earlier, in cultivation and becoming classmates in the same class.

They also represented the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, together with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, in two separate clashes against Shrek Academy, with each side winning and losing.

With his Golden Eye Martial Soul of Spiritual Attribute and his talent in Soul Tool Making, he gradually surpassed Xiao Hongchen and became the number one genius of the younger generation of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and also gained Meng Hongchen's favor.

But the tenderness in Xu Zihuang's heart always belonged to the girl who had silently accompanied him all these years.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
