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

It lasted for several seconds before gradually dissipating.

All the life force of that giant demon whale was completely extinguished as it was pierced by this silver beam of light.

This is the terrifying aspect of a 100,000-year-old mental attribute attack soul skill. Among the four soul skills that the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant soul ring and soul bone gave Xu Zihuang, the destructive power of this Evil Eye Gaze is the strongest.

Previously, Xu Zihuang condensed his fifth soul skill, Mental Storm, into a silver needle, and the energy fluctuations contained within it were already quite astonishing. However, compared to the huge silver pillar of light generated by the Evil Eye Gaze, it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

Mental Storm, a ranged attack with a mental attribute, is a soul skill that allows the all-pervasive mental energy to invade the target's body and begin to destroy them from within.

The reason why Xu Zihuang condensed the mental storm into silver needles to destroy the Qingpeng Soul Saint by destroying his consciousness and soul was because he was inspired by the soul skill Evil Eye Gaze.

The Evil Eye's gaze destroys the very essence of the spirit. The importance of the spiritual essence is undeniable for both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.

The ten golden orbs left behind when Tianmeng Ice Silkworm merged with Xu Zihuang were its spiritual essence. Xu Zihuang had just used the spiritual essence power of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to increase the age of his soul rings.

The reason why the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could be absorbed by Xu Zihuang without being affected is that it had long ago abandoned its own body and merged its spiritual consciousness into Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

For other soul beasts, once their spiritual essence is severely damaged, even if they don't die on the spot, they won't live for long. Only super soul beasts with noble bloodlines and profound foundations have the possibility of recovering through a long period of recuperation.

The ultimate soul skill of the Evil Eye Tyrant, Light of Time and Space, was created based on the Evil Eye's Gaze and combined with his own understanding of the power of space and time.

In the epic battle between the Evil Eye Tyrant and the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​the Evil Eye Tyrant severely damaged Emperor Tian's spiritual essence using the Light of Time and Space.

Even with the cultivation level of the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​it took him more than a thousand years to recover to his peak condition after directly enduring the Time and Space Light of the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

This demonstrates just how powerful the light of spacetime is.

The ultimate soul skill, Light of Time and Space, requires a massive amount of life force, which is why the Evil Eye Tyrant rarely uses it. In hundreds of thousands of years, only the Beast God Di Tian forced him to use it once.

While the Evil Eye Gaze isn't as powerful as the Light of Time and Space, it's still the most powerful innate attack skill of the Evil Eye Tyrant lineage, and it's not so easy to defend against.

In fact, the moment the silver beam pierced through the head of this giant demonic whale, it spared no effort to expend its source power and life force to forcibly restore its slowed consciousness, mobilizing its spiritual power and soul power to frantically resist.

Generally speaking, the mental power of demonic whale-type soul beasts is far stronger than that of other sea soul beasts. This is their racial advantage. At the same cultivation level, this giant demonic whale's head and brain capacity are more than twice as large as those of deep-sea demonic whales and evil tiger whales, making it the most adept demonic whale-type soul beast at using mental power.

Unfortunately, it was facing Xu Zihuang, whose total spiritual power and realm completely overwhelmed it.

Both are spiritual powers that have just entered the realm of tangible and tangible existence, and both possess a soul core with spiritual attributes. There is no essential difference between Xu Zihuang's full-force Evil Eye Gaze and the 100,000-year-old pure spiritual Evil Eye Tyrant personally using this skill.

At most, its power will be somewhat weaker due to the difference in cultivation level. But that's all.

Given the cultivation level and spiritual power of this giant demonic whale, it was clearly insufficient to survive this powerful 100,000-year-old soul skill. Its spiritual essence shattered directly under the penetration of the silver beam of light, and its life force was extinguished.

Its enormous body plummeted into the deep cubic gap in the sea.

The silver light in Xu Zihuang's eyes gradually faded, leaving only the brilliant golden halo of his Golden Eye Martial Soul. With a calm aura, he once again stepped onto the crystal mirror and ascended into the sky, avoiding the towering waves that surged up on the sea.

Using a skill from a 100,000-year-old head bone is indeed very taxing. However, pure spirit-attribute spirit skills have a unique feature: they can be released without consuming spirit power, relying entirely on mental energy.

Although most of his spiritual energy was directly drained from his spiritual sea, his soul power remained at its optimal level. The depletion of both soul power and spiritual energy significantly accelerated the absorption of external energy by the spiritual attribute soul core between his brows.

The depleted soul power and mental energy are rapidly recovering.

The massive waves, like a natural disaster or tsunami, were slow to subside, even affecting the port of Qianling City, which was hundreds of kilometers away.

The huge icebergs floating in the nearby sea have been collapsing one after another.

A massive shadow slowly rose, its body churning with countless bubbles. Clearly, this was the corpse of the colossal demonic whale. Its enormous head protruded dozens of meters above the sea, a black spirit ring radiating an extremely oppressive and ferocious aura hovering above it.

Seawater slid down its smooth, deep blue skin. Its deep blue eyes, over a meter in diameter, were dull and lifeless, seemingly still holding the terror and resentment of its impending death.

Seeing this scene before it, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm fell silent. This time, it realized more clearly just how terrifying Xu Zihuang's strength truly was. In its view, if anyone in this world could reach that level, it would undoubtedly be Xu Zihuang.

The giant whale's corpse was still bobbing up and down with the waves. Xu Zihuang gracefully landed, smoothly resting on the giant whale's head.

This demonic whale-like soul beast, with a cultivation level exceeding 50,000 years, is a treasure trove from head to toe. However, his storage soul tool has limited space, so he only plans to use the longsword Shark Tooth to remove the two eyeballs of the giant demonic whale.

The giant demon whale's deep blue eyes were extremely mysterious. Even in its dead state, they still emitted a faint glow, their material resembling jade, incredibly hard. This was the most precious material from the giant demon whale's body. In ancient times, the nobles of the Douluo Continent liked to polish the eyes of demon whale-type soul beasts into luminous pearls. And with the development of soul guide technology, people gradually discovered that the eyes of powerful demon whale-type soul beasts were excellent materials for making high-level defensive soul guides.

Especially the eyeballs of demonic whale-type soul beasts with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years.

However, this level of demonic whale-type soul beast is not so easy to hunt. They are extremely rare, resulting in a constant supply shortage on the continent.

If the two eyes of this 50,000-year-old demon whale were taken to a top auction house on the continent, they could fetch at least a million gold soul coins.

While the materials used in other parts were also quite expensive, they paled in comparison to the two eyeballs.

The giant whale's eyes were spotless, and seawater would slide off instantly upon contact with them, leaving no water droplets.

Xu Zihuang stored his two eyeballs in his storage soul tool, then lowered his head and plunged the longsword Shark Tooth into the tough skin of the giant demon whale's head.

He had previously used his mental power to carefully investigate, and found that this giant demon whale, with a cultivation level of 50,000 years, had not dropped any soul bones.

However, he wasn't disappointed; the appearance of a soul bone was largely a matter of luck. Besides, even if this giant demonic whale dropped a soul bone, it wouldn't hold any appeal for him.

"Zihuang, the head of the Giant Demon Whale is the largest among Demon Whale-type Soul Beasts. With this guy's cultivation level, it should be able to give you a lot of high-quality whale roe. You can cut it open from the side to avoid damaging the whale roe." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's excited voice rang out in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea, showing even more excitement than Xu Zihuang himself.

Its joy was not only due to the whale oil of this giant demon whale, but also because it gave Xu Zihuang more confidence in reaching that ethereal realm.

Xu Zihuang nodded, gripped the longsword Shark Tooth tightly with both hands, and infused it with soul power. A brilliant golden light immediately shimmered on the sword. Then, he traced a circle along the massive head of the giant demon whale.

Although the giant demon whale's skin is tough and has amazing defensive capabilities, without the protection of soul power, it is just an empty shell. The main material of the longsword shark tooth is the tooth of a ten-thousand-year-old demon soul great white shark. As one of the three overlords of the ocean, the teeth of the demon soul great white shark can tear apart the flesh of any soul beast.

The longsword shark tooth easily pierced through the giant whale's skin, flesh, and even bones.

Instead of a foul odor emanating from the cut, a rich and intense fragrance wafted out. Xu Zihuang only took a few sniffs and felt a sense of exhilaration.

Having circled back to the starting point, he flicked his right hand, lifting the giant demon whale's head. There, he saw the gleaming golden whale brain in the center. A thick, enticing aroma mingled with the heat.

Whale brain, whale paste, and whale glue are actually all the same thing.

For a period of time after a demonic whale-type soul beast dies, its brain will appear as a paste, also known as whale paste. After the whale paste is weathered and the moisture is removed, it will form solid whale glue.

However, natural air drying causes the whale fat to lose some of its potency along with moisture. The ideal situation is to artificially dry the whale fat shortly after the death of a demonic whale-like spirit beast, locking in its nutrients. Just like how Wang Xiao and his group processed the whale fat from the demonic tiger whale.

Looking at the whale brain in front of him, which was at least three or four cubic meters in size, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"This guy is indeed extraordinary. The brains of some 100,000-year-old demon whales are probably not even this big. Moreover, the quality of this guy's whale glue is quite good."

Xu Zihuang was also somewhat surprised. However, he didn't delve into it now, but instead used the high temperature generated by the ultimate lightning to quickly dry it. The aroma of the whale brain was too strong and lingered, and it wouldn't be good if it were to be carried by the sea breeze into the deep sea and attract even more powerful sea spirit beasts.

Holding various trump cards, he was confident in his ability to protect himself; his only fear was that he might implicate Ma Xiaotao, who was likely in this area of ​​the sea.

……

Meanwhile, on an iceberg about 30 kilometers southeast of where Xu Zihuang was located.

"Was that the voice of that demonic whale? And that silver beam of light?"

A woman in red looked up towards the northwest, her delicate brows furrowed as she murmured to herself. Judging from her appearance, she was probably around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Her light pink eyes had a captivating allure, but fortunately, her gaze was cold, which slightly suppressed that seductive and alluring look.

She has a slender figure, but her body curves are incredibly voluptuous. Especially her prominent breasts, and below her slender waist are her long, rounded, and straight legs.

If Xu Zihuang were here, he would recognize the woman at a glance as Ma Xiaotao, who had been away for four years training in the far north.

Five months ago, Ma Xiaotao found a snow lotus with 100,000 years of cultivation in the core area of ​​the far north. Although only half of the petals remained on the snow lotus, these were enough to completely dispel the evil fire within her body.

However, not long after she braved countless dangers to retrieve the snow lotus and leave the core area of ​​the far north, the entire far north suddenly descended into chaos. She also encountered several powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

No matter how strong she was, at that time she only had level 70 soul power and hadn't even obtained her seventh soul ring. The environment of the far north also somewhat restrained her martial soul's abilities. Unable to defeat her, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and crawl into the strange ice cave she had discovered before.

Once inside, Ma Xiaotao discovered that the ice cave was much deeper than she had imagined, with a complex and interconnected internal structure. While avoiding attacks from the soul beasts outside, she simply stayed inside and refined the medicinal effects of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, thus resolving the problem of the evil fire that had plagued her for so many years.

However, it was precisely because of the intense heat generated by her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul that a large area of ​​the ice cave melted and began to collapse. She had no choice but to escape through one of the passages, eventually reaching the sea.

The far north is not entirely land; much of the seawater has frozen into glaciers that connect it to the land.

When Ma Xiaotao emerged from the ice cave, she found herself at the bottom of a glacier, in water over 500 meters deep. This happened to be the territory of a 50,000-year-old giant demon whale. She was then pursued and inadvertently ventured deeper into the sea.

There was no other way. In that crisis, she simply couldn't think of anything else.

She barely escaped death and surfaced, only to discover that this area was the territory of a group of flying spirit beasts. Once she released her martial spirit and took to the air, she would be besieged by these flying spirit beasts.

In the end, she had no choice but to bypass this area of ​​the sea to return to the mainland. For more than two months, although she encountered many attacks from sea spirit beasts, fortunately, none of them posed a threat to her.

Just then, a second wave swept in like a blotting-out sun, shattering the iceberg beneath Ma Xiaotao's feet.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and intense golden-red flame wings unfurled behind her, rising into the air. Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings appeared simultaneously.

Although Ma Xiaotao broke through to level 70 a long time ago, she has been troubled by the problem of evil fire for many years. There is no suitable fire attribute soul beast in the far north, so she has not added a soul ring for herself.

But just as she released her martial spirit and ascended into the sky, she found herself seemingly locked in by mental energy.

"Such powerful spiritual energy?!" Ma Xiaotao flew towards the source of the spiritual energy with surprise and doubt. This spiritual energy actually gave her the feeling of facing Elder Mu and Elder Xuan.

She was certain that the owner of this spiritual power was definitely a human Soul Master, or at least a Super Douluo-level expert.

Now that it's been discovered, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

If that Super Douluo really wants to find her, no matter how she hides her figure, it won't be of any use. She might as well just show herself openly.

Meanwhile, Xu Zihuang, who was drying the whale brain atop the giant demon whale's head, had a strange expression on his face. Looking up towards the southwest, a golden-red dot of light rapidly magnified in his eyes, transforming into a beautiful woman bathed in golden-red flames, the firelight reflecting off her exquisite face.

Xu Zihuang looked at the newcomer, and the strange expression on his face instantly turned into a gentle smile.

"Long time no see, Senior Xiaotao."

He never imagined that his encounter with Ma Xiaotao would be in such a peaceful way.

Ma Xiaotao looked down at Xu Zihuang from the air, and was first stunned, then her eyes widened suddenly.

"You brat, what are you doing here?!"

Chapter 306 Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill: Touch of the Soul

It's no wonder Ma Xiaotao reacted so strongly.

In fact, she had always had a strange feeling towards Yu Tianhuang, after all, Yu Tianhuang was the first man she had ever had intimate contact with.

This can be seen from her stubborn determination to suppress the evil fire by venturing alone into the perilous far north.

Before Xu Zihuang entered Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao had also asked Xu Sanshi to help suppress the evil fire with his water-attribute Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield martial soul. However, she didn't feel that way when facing Xu Sanshi.

It was precisely because of Yu Tianhuang's special status that she, being naturally proud, was unwilling to trouble Yu Tianhuang again after he and Ning Tian had established a relationship.

Now, after four years of training in the far north, the first familiar face she encountered was Yu Tianhuang. It would be impossible for her not to feel anything.

Four years later, Yu Tianhuang seemed to have acquired a unique aura. The moment their eyes met, her mind was unconsciously captivated by him, as if she were in a vast outer space.

A moment later, Ma Xiaotao's slightly dazed pink eyes regained their brightness, and she remembered the giant demonic whale beneath Xu Zihuang's feet. Her pupils suddenly contracted.

Judging from the gruesome yet familiar wound on its head, it was indeed the giant demon whale with a cultivation level of fifty thousand years that had attacked her before. Although the giant demon whale was not as powerful as the evil tiger whale or the deep-sea demon whale, its racial advantage was undeniable. Just like the weakest of the tiger-type soul beasts, it was not something that ordinary cattle or horse-type soul beasts could easily defeat at the same cultivation level.

A demonic whale-type soul beast with 50,000 years of cultivation, residing in the ocean, is enough to threaten a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.

Even with her soul power reaching level 70 and possessing multiple high-quality soul bones, she could only flee in a sorry state when she encountered this guy in the sea.
