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

The silver crystal completely blocked the dark purple energy released by the Demon Emperor.

The Soul Bone skill from the 100,000-year-old head is Soul Barrier.

This was also the last 100,000-year-old soul skill that the 100,000-year-old pure spirit-type Evil Eye Tyrant provided to Xu Zihuang. It was a defensive 100,000-year-old soul skill.

An absolute defense formed by the perfect fusion of soul power as the primary force and mental power as the secondary force.

It can simultaneously withstand physical attacks, energy attacks, mental attacks, and even soul attacks. Calling it absolute defense is no exaggeration. The drawback is that once the soul barrier is broken or damaged, Xu Zihuang, as the user who infused it with soul power, will suffer irreversible damage.

Just like in this situation. The Demon Emperor's cultivation is far superior to his. The condensed black-purple energy he possesses is enough to make even a Title Douluo-level expert wary.

Fortunately, the dark purple energy was a mixture of water and lightning elements, which was countered to some extent by Xu Zihuang's ultimate lightning.

However, Xu Zihuang's current condition is not very good either.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had already awakened and recognized the current situation. Immediately, it disregarded its shock and hurriedly prepared to use its ultimate technique to take Xu Zihuang away from here.

But Xu Zihuang stopped him.

"Zihuang?! What are you trying to do?! That guy is definitely not someone you can handle right now!"

"Tianmeng, trust me!" Xu Zihuang said in a low voice, surprisingly calm at this moment. A sudden realization dawned on him.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red!

All six spirit rings around him vanished. He hovered in mid-air, his entire body shimmering with intense golden light.

A phantom golden vertical eye appeared out of thin air behind him, and as soon as it appeared, the surrounding dark purple energy dissipated. Then the phantom golden eye began to solidify, and its color changed from phantom golden to black iron, then bronze, silver, and finally to an incomparably dazzling gold.

Gold-level Body Martial Soul Second Awakening!

All of this happened in an instant. The Demon Emperor had barely reacted when she was horrified to discover that the tiny human before her now possessed a mental and spiritual level that surpassed her own.

"How is this possible?! How could this human possess demigod-level mental power?!"

The main reason why the Body Sect values ​​Xu Zihuang so much is because of Xu Zihuang's ability to awaken his Gold-level Body Martial Soul a second time.

The reason why a Gold-level second awakening of a Body Martial Soul far surpasses that of a Silver-level second awakening is that a Gold-level second awakening grants an additional special ability. This special ability varies depending on the type of Body Martial Soul.

Xu Zihuang's Gold-level Martial Soul's second awakening has only one effect: to forcibly raise his mental strength to a higher level within a short period of time.

Back then, his spiritual power was close to the realm of tangible yet intangible. After using the amplification from the second awakening of his Gold-level Martial Soul, it reached a realm of spiritual power that was close to tangible and tangible. At that time, he crushed Xiao Hongchen precisely because of his spiritual power that was close to the realm of tangible yet intangible.

However, there are clear limitations at the god-level. So, although his spiritual power is currently at the initial stage of the tangible and tangible realm, after using his gold-level martial soul for a second awakening, he can only reach the demigod level. And he can only maintain it for a moment, after which he will suffer severe backlash.

The spirit ring reappeared beside Xu Zihuang, but it was only a solitary, blood-red spirit ring. Three strange golden patterns were clearly visible on the spirit ring.

His spirit rings shone brightly, and the brilliant golden eyes behind him suddenly enlarged, causing Xu Zihuang's aura to surge. Golden light enveloped him, giving him an aura of supreme majesty.

Martial Soul True Form!

With his demigod-level mental power, Xu Zihuang forcibly fused his six soul rings and unleashed his Martial Soul True Form at the Soul Emperor level.

With flashing golden eyes and distorted space, Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi vanished from their spot.

Chapter 319 The Power of the Martial Soul True Body and the Light of Life Healing

With a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, the Demon Emperor released an immense amount of spiritual power, enveloping a sea area spanning nearly a hundred kilometers in radius.

Her spiritual power was at the peak of tangible and tangible form, not much inferior to the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, and even surpassing him in terms of total spiritual power.

All of this is thanks to the domineering innate abilities of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan. Like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Deep Sea Demon Whale can also devour human soul masters or soul beasts to enhance its own cultivation.

The Demon Emperor just used this innate ability to separate the blood energy and soul energy of nearly a thousand people. Blood energy can be directly used to improve cultivation, while soul energy is used to strengthen the sea of ​​spirit.

It was precisely for this reason that she deliberately pushed her physical size beyond the limits of the Deep Sea Demon Whale race time and time again. All of this was to complement that innate ability, to devour more blood energy and soul energy.

Of course, in terms of control over mental power, the Demon Emperor is definitely not as good as the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, who specializes in mental power.

She released her spiritual energy to carefully sense Xu Zihuang's aura, but several searches yielded no results. Withdrawing her spiritual energy, she gave a cold snort, her face as frosty as ice.

At her level of cultivation, her intuition was extremely sharp. Upon seeing Xu Zihuang, she knew that this human soul master was likely to cause her some trouble in the future.

Upon realizing what was happening, the Demon Emperor immediately prepared to eliminate Xu Zihuang. However, her mental power was briefly suppressed by Xu Zihuang's demigod-level spiritual strength. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as Xu Zihuang escaped.

Meanwhile, Lan Fuzi, the girl who was transformed from a deep-sea demon whale, showed a look of astonishment in her eyes.

She had just received the message from that human.

"Can he really be trusted?" Lan Fuzi's eyes flickered, and she subconsciously looked up at her mother. After a moment of silence, the hesitation in her deep blue eyes was gradually replaced by determination.

The human's displayed talent certainly gave him that confidence. Humans are the most blessed race, and she believed that given a few decades to grow, it wasn't impossible for that human to possess the power to rival her mother.

Moreover, the human's special identity was enough to convince Lan Fuzi.

She wanted to stop her mother, and cooperating with that human was indeed something she could consider, since she was too weak and alone. That human might harbor malicious intentions and have ulterior motives, but she didn't care. Before absolute power, all schemes and tricks were meaningless.

Her mother's cultivation level was close to 800,000 years, and there were very few beings in the entire sea area who could rival her. To think that one could kill her mother in the sea area was nothing short of a pipe dream.

The best outcome would be for her mother to be wary of that human's strength and stop harming the creatures of Douluo Continent.

While Lan Fuzi was deep in thought, the Demon Emperor had already absorbed all the blood and soul energy, reformed into his original form, and swam towards the depths of the sea in the southeast.

Looking up at the coldness in the Demon Emperor's eyes, Lan Fuzi knew that once her mother recovered to 50% of her strength, she would probably go deep into the sea again to kill and devour other powerful sea spirit beasts.

Compared to humans, the massive sea spirit beasts provide far more vital energy and soul energy.

Lan Fuzi gritted her teeth and transformed into her true form to catch up with the Demon Emperor.

All she can do now is try her best to dissuade her mother from committing more killings.

……

A sea area thousands of miles away.

Golden vertical pupil patterns shimmered in the air as Xu Zihuang, his aura weakened, appeared above this sea area, holding an orange in his arms.

Two streaks of crimson blood slid down Xu Zihuang's cheeks from his eyelids, forming two gruesome bloodstains. His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath. His soul power was completely exhausted, and his spiritual sea was showing signs of collapse due to the forced elevation of his spiritual power to the demigod level using the second awakening of his gold-level martial soul.

If his martial soul hadn't been of high quality and his mental power hadn't reached a tangible and substantial level, simply maintaining this demigod-level mental power for even a brief moment would have been enough to cause his spiritual essence to decline and him to perish here.

The realm of gods is not so easily touched. Not to mention that he is currently only at the Soul Emperor level.

Not only did his spiritual sea show signs of damage, but Xu Zihuang's soul also suffered some damage when he used the Soul Barrier skill from his 100,000-year-old head soul bone to resist the mixed water and lightning energy condensed by the Demon Emperor. Furthermore, he was also suffering from the enormous side effects of using his Gold-level main body martial soul for a second awakening.

This was the first time in so many years that he had been so disheveled.

He didn't even have the strength to use Mirror Shatter to pause in mid-air, and fell straight into the sea. In his fading consciousness, he vaguely heard the anxious cries of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea.

His bright golden eyes seemed to have traversed endless time and space, witnessing scene after scene.

Above the same sea, a young man with black hair and purple eyes stood in the air, looking down indifferently at a colossal whale covered in demonic patterns. The whale was nearly a thousand meters long, an incredibly astonishing sight. However, it bore several deep, bone-revealing wounds, stained with blood, casting an endless crimson glow around it.

A young girl stood in front of the giant whale, weeping and pleading with the young man.

No sound could be heard, but the girl's genuine emotions were deeply moving.

However, the scene abruptly ended, and Xu Zihuang's mind returned to its previous state.

"The Golden Eye Martial Soul's ability when unleashing its true form—void and future vision—so that's it."

"Tianmeng, I'm entrusting the rest to you." But Xu Zihuang couldn't afford to delve into the matter now. He barely managed to convey a thought to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm before completely losing consciousness.

Although Ju Zi, who was leaning against Xu Zihuang's chest, was also unconscious, her condition was much better thanks to Xu Zihuang's protection.

That was indeed the case. Orange was only affected by the aftershocks of the intense dark purple energy released by the Demon Emperor and the impact of Xu Zihuang's soul barrier, and was otherwise unharmed.

Xu Zihuang's arrangement wasn't entirely due to a sudden inspiration or a spur-of-the-moment decision to take the risk; rather, it was a decision made after careful consideration. His soul had already been damaged when he used the Soul Barrier to block the Demon Emperor's attack.

Even if Tianmeng uses her abilities to take him and Ju Zi away, he will be unable to mobilize his spiritual power and soul power for a long time afterward. Perhaps even a random hundred-year-old soul beast could threaten his and Ju Zi's lives.

Rather than that, it's better to keep Tianmeng Ice Silkworm conscious as a backup. If they encounter danger again, it won't be too late for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to use its ultimate life-saving ability.

Moreover, although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is not strong in combat, it is enough to scare away many soul beasts simply by mobilizing the spiritual power of the tangible and tangible realm in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

"Leave it to me, Zihuang." The anxious Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, receiving Xu Zihuang's message, suddenly calmed down, its tone unusually serious. Xu Zihuang's actions were, to it, utterly selfless. It had to reciprocate Xu Zihuang's trust with its own actions.

"puff--"

Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi simultaneously plunged into the sea, creating a splash. Their bodies sank towards the seabed, their long, flowing black hair intertwined, still embracing each other.

"Hmm?" Just as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was about to take over Xu Zihuang's body, a flash of white light appeared, and a white whale about five meters long supported Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi's bodies with its back.

It was the silver-scaled white whale that signed a contract with Xu Zihuang and became a spirit.

The Silver Scale White Whale is a spirit beast with a spiritual attribute, and its size is far inferior to that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale and the Evil Demon Orca.

However, having absorbed the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this Silver Scale White Whale is now essentially a genuine 40,000-year-old soul beast, possessing considerable combat power even after leaving Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

However, due to its lack of spiritual awareness, it can often only act on instinct. Otherwise, given its special status as an auspicious beast, it might even be able to speak human language.

The silver-scaled beluga whale glanced back affectionately at Xu Zihuang, then quickly rose to the surface, using its back to support Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi's bodies as they emerged from the water to breathe.

"Eek—" A delicate and melodious whale call rang out.

A halo of icy blue light bloomed from the back of the silver-scaled white whale, condensing into irregular ice spikes that protected Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi's bodies. Following the icy blue halo, a dazzling golden light burst forth. The golden light shone brightly, transforming into a golden cocoon that enveloped Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi almost instantly.

"Control of ice elements?! Control of light elements?! This little thing is indeed extraordinary."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, suspended above Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea, gleamed with golden light. When the Silver Scale White Whale first displayed its control over ice elements, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm didn't think much of it, as it was merely a basic application of ice element control. But the subsequent cocoon of light was different; the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could clearly sense the rich life force within it.

The light of life healing! This is clearly an ability that can only be unleashed by a mastery of the light element.

Light is the purest element, possessing a strong life force. However, not all light-attribute soul beasts and soul masters can unleash the ability of life-healing light. They must possess an extremely high affinity for the light element.

"Little one, there's a reef about 30 kilometers ahead. Let's go there first."

Then Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was overjoyed. With the Silver Scale White Whale around, it felt much more confident.

With its pressure suddenly relieved, it couldn't help but chuckle smugly.

"Although we're a bit weaker, it seems we don't need your help. That's what you call sharp insight!"

It is now increasingly convinced that Xu Zihuang is the chosen one of this era, and all the favor of heaven seems to be concentrated on Xu Zihuang alone.

……

A grand manor sits quietly on the northwestern coast of Moon Pivot Island. This is the private estate of Viscount Moon South, the owner of Moon Pivot Island.

A few glimmers of light shone from the pointed castle in the center of the manor.

Moonlight filtered through the silk curtains into a spacious room on the top floor of the castle. Ye Guyi lay sprawled on the soft bed, her long, flowing golden hair cascading down her back, the longest section reaching her shapely buttocks.

Under the starlight, her fair and delicate skin gained an even more lustrous, jade-like glow.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she greedily inhaled the scents of the sheets, pillows, and blankets. These had all been used by Xu Zihuang.
