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

He recognized the origin of this spirit beast.

A powerful, abyss-like soul force erupted from his body, instantly blasting away the fragments of the tentacles. Other tentacles attached to the ship's hull were also shaken off.

A sharp, piercing screech rang out, and a gigantic jellyfish emerged from the waters ahead of the warship. Its umbrella-shaped body exceeded two meters in diameter. The tips of its tentacles were orange-yellow, gradually changing color until the base of the tentacles and the body turned a bizarre pink.

Tentacles over forty meters long are rampant in this sea area, and judging from their menacing posture, they are not going to stop there.

Linlong leaped onto the railing at the front of the deck, ready to enter the sea and completely eliminate the jellyfish spirit beast. His martial spirit was the Black Scale Dragon Shark, which could only unleash its full power in seawater.

Moreover, judging from the soul power fluctuations emanating from this jellyfish-like soul beast, it possesses at least 30,000 years of cultivation, and its tentacles are incredibly strong. If it is not dealt with quickly, it will inevitably cause some damage to the warship.

However, before he could make a move, Wang Xiao stopped him.

"Linlong, don't be impulsive. This soul beast is a lion-mane jellyfish, and its tentacles contain deadly poison. You must not have any contact with it."

"Lion's mane jellyfish?!" Everyone present, including Urokodaki, was shocked.

The Lionmane Jellyfish is considered a very powerful sea spirit beast in the ocean, one of the most powerful among jellyfish spirit beasts. It is said that even demonic whale spirit beasts are their prey.

It's just that their numbers are too few, which is why they don't have the same fearsome reputation as the three great ocean predators: the deep-sea whale, the evil killer whale, and the demon soul great white shark.

Just then, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi arrived at the same time.

Xu Zihuang stood on the railing outside the top deck room, gazing at the lion's mane jellyfish in the sea ahead. Ye Guyi had just come up to the deck from the kitchen. The two exchanged a knowing glance.

Xu Zihuang smiled and tossed the Seven Star Flame Sword to Ye Guyi.

"Sister Lingyi."

"Zihuang, is it finished?" Ye Guyi took the Seven Star Flame Sword and happily examined it. Both its design and feel were impeccable. Most importantly, this was a soul tool meticulously crafted for her by Xu Zihuang.

The two's appearance drew the attention of everyone on deck.

Xu Zihuang nodded.

"Let's test the power of this Seven Star Flame Sword."

"The Seven Star Flame Sword?"

Ye Guyi understood and smiled sweetly. Then, under everyone's gaze, she released her martial spirit and soared into the air. Behind her, pure white angel wings unfolded, and soft golden light poured down from the sky.

As soul power was infused into her, the golden Seven-Star Flame Sword in her hand suddenly shone brightly. Then, the golden light extended to her entire right arm.

That wasn't the effect of the Seven Star Flame Sword, but rather the activation of the right arm soul bone from the 60,000-year-old Golden Flame Bird. The golden light on his right arm resembled constantly condensing and leaping flames, extraordinary and wondrous, dazzling like the golden sun.

At this moment, Ye Guyi seemed to be the embodiment of the sun.

"In the name of holiness, angelic judgment!" A cold voice rang out from Ye Guyi's mouth, and his first soul skill, Holy Light, was activated at the same time.

She raised the Seven Star Flame Sword high with both hands. The light of her first soul skill, Holy Light, the light of the Seven Star Flame Sword, and the light of the Golden Flame Bird's right arm soul bone blended perfectly together, dazzling yet carrying a scorching aura.

"Bone-Scorching Yang Flame!"

The golden light instantly engulfed the lion's mane jellyfish. Even with the seawater as a barrier, it still couldn't escape the attack from Ye Guyi.

When the lion's mane jellyfish's body came into contact with the golden light, it didn't even have time to resist before it melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only a jet-black soul ring remained, pulsating on the sea surface.

Ye Guyi appeared to have only used her first soul skill, Holy Light, but in reality, she had already integrated the skills of her right arm soul bone into her first soul skill.

The fusion of soul bone skills and soul ring skills is extremely difficult, and not every soul master can do it. The user must possess profound martial soul foundation and astonishing control over soul skills.

Ye Guyi, as a Holy Angel Soul Master, clearly met this requirement. Although it was her first time using it this way, she did so with the ease and precision of an extension of her own arm.

The Blazing Sunfire is a soul skill attached to Ye Guyi's right arm soul bone. It can be used alone or in combination with any of her other soul skills. This is one of the reasons why Ye Guyi insisted on fusing with this soul bone in the first place.

At that time, she vaguely guessed the effects of the soul bone that came with it.

Such a soul bone skill, capable of providing comprehensive enhancement, is extremely rare. Comprehensive enhancement means it can comprehensively improve a soul master's overall strength. This characteristic alone makes it almost comparable to a top-tier soul bone of 100,000 years.

For example, if she uses the Scorching Sun Flame in conjunction with her first soul skill, Holy Light Illumination, then as long as the opponent is illuminated by the holy light that incorporates the effect of Scorching Sun Flame, the terrifying high temperature will instantly erupt from inside their body, making it impossible to defend against.

Logically, a soul beast with over 30,000 years of cultivation should not be completely powerless to resist. The reason for this outcome is purely due to the unique body structure of the Lionmane Jellyfish. Its body is too fragile, and it lacks internal bones for protection. This resulted in an effect far exceeding expectations.

There is another reason that cannot be ignored.

Because the Purple-Patterned Radiant Dragon is inscribed with the core magic array, this Seven-Star Radiant Flame Sword possesses a slight destructive attribute when used.

The element of destruction has been incorporated, further enhancing its power.

Ye Guyi gracefully flew to Xu Zihuang's side and withdrew her martial spirit. Her right hand gripped the Seven Star Flame Sword in reverse, and her beautiful face was full of smiles.

"Zihuang, the Seven Star Flame Sword has a greater amplification effect on my martial soul ability than I imagined."

"The effect should be even better once it's fully perfected." Xu Zihuang smiled warmly, and together with Ye Guyi looked up at the golden sun rising slowly over the eastern sea.

Wang Xiao and the others on the deck understood and dispersed, leaving only a few people to keep watch. The warship continued its voyage, but the astonishment in the eyes of those who had witnessed Ye Guyi's formidable strength lingered for a long time.

Not only is Xu Zihuang the young master, but Ye Guyi's talent is also astonishing.

Facing the rising sun, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi chatted with smiles on their faces. Soon, they would enter the boundary between the deep sea and the nearshore waters. Today, they would be able to return to the mainland.

Chapter 328 Heading North and Dai Luoli's Martial Soul Mutation

The weather at sea is great today.

A pleasant sea breeze blew in their faces as Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi had breakfast on the balcony in front of their room on the top deck.

Apart from the lion-maned jellyfish with 30,000 years of cultivation, the warship encountered no further attacks from other sea spirit beasts. After sailing with the wind for two hours, the warship entered the boundary between the deep sea and the nearshore waters.

The Moon Islands were located in the central part of the deep sea south of the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. The group sailed north without deviating from their course. This meant that if they continued sailing towards the mainland, the warships would land at the border of the two great empires.

The warship was too large a target and too close to the mainland coastline would make it easy to be discovered. Therefore, Xu Zihuang's original plan was to land in this sea area with Ye Guyi on the Demon Whale.

During this time, Xu Zihuang explained the capabilities of the Seven Star Flame Sword to Ye Guyi in detail. According to his and Wang Xiao's plan, if the Seven Star Flame Sword were to be replaced with an aggregate of an eighth-level core magic array and supplemented with the energy crystals of light-attribute and fire-attribute soul beasts, it would definitely be considered a masterpiece among eighth-level melee soul tools, and its power would even be comparable to some ninth-level melee soul tools.

The Seven Star Flame Sword possesses both light and fire attributes. While light and fire have always complemented each other, balance is equally important.

If the fiery colloid of a hundred thousand years of raging fire is condensed into a rhombus-shaped crystal and embedded within it, then ideally, the energy crystal of another light-attribute soul beast should also be taken from a light-attribute soul beast with a cultivation of a hundred thousand years.

In Xu Zihuang's mind, only the Heavenly Dragon Horse best fits the description.

Even in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Heavenly Dragon Horse is an extremely rare existence. Although it is horse-shaped, it possesses the pure bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light. A rhombus-shaped light golden gem grows on its forehead, which is the source of its power.

In fact, Xu Zihuang had considered all of this when designing the Seven Star Flame Sword. He just told Ye Guyi everything in detail.

"The Heavenly Dragon Horse," Ye Guyi murmured softly. She understood Xu Zihuang's meaning, of course. If a Heavenly Dragon Horse with 100,000 years of cultivation truly existed in the Star Dou Great Forest, then it would be perfect to become her eighth or ninth spirit ring.

The Holy Angel Martial Soul is primarily based on the Holy attribute, with Light and Fire attributes as secondary attributes. However, Soul Beasts possessing the Holy attribute are extremely rare, comparable in rarity to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Finding one with a suitable cultivation level is even more difficult.

Balancing the pros and cons, absorbing the spirit rings of light-attribute and fire-attribute spirit beasts is also a good option.

"Zihuang, do you think there really is a Heavenly Dragon Horse with 100,000 years of cultivation in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Xu Zihuang smiled and shook his head.

"I can't be sure about that, I just think it's possible. Besides the Heavenly Dragon Horse, I also know of a real 100,000-year-old soul beast that would be a good fit for your soul ring, Sister Lingyi."

"What kind of soul beast?" Ye Guyi asked with great interest, completely believing what Xu Zihuang had said.

"Six-winged Demon Tiger. This guy has three attributes, two of which are light and fire."

Xu Zihuang learned about the six-winged demonic tiger from his memories of his previous life. When Di Tian launched the beast tide, that six-winged demonic tiger led a large number of flying soul beasts to attack Shrek City. However, due to its arrogance, it was ultimately killed by the main cannon of Xuan Ziwen's all-terrain self-propelled turret.

Compared to the Heavenly Dragon Horse, this Six-Winged Demon Tiger is even more compatible with Ye Guyi's Sacred Angel Martial Soul.

Watching Wang Xiao direct everyone to furl the sails, Xu Zihuang stood up and continued, "Let's go, Sister Lingyi. We've reached the nearshore waters."

"Mmm." Ye Guyi responded with a smile, took Xu Zihuang's arm, and they went up to the deck together.

The six-winged demonic tiger's attributes were indeed a good match for her, and it also possessed the ability to fly, so it could definitely grant her four powerful soul skills. However, given her temperament, she wouldn't let this distract her.

"Young Master, Miss." Wang Xiao and the others on the deck bowed to the two of them.

Xu Zihuang nodded slightly, his left thumb resting on the storage ring on his left index finger. This ring was the one Wang Xiao had given him, and now he decided to take it with him.

The ring and the Purple-Veined Radiant Dragon were made of the same material, similar to amethyst, and set with a flawless, high-quality star sapphire. It perfectly matched the blue-purple ring Ye Guyi wore on the middle finger of her right hand.

The dragon patterns engraved on the two are the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, respectively.

A ghostly blue light flickered, and Xu Zihuang took out the head soul bone he had obtained from Crocodile Cheng.

The soul bone looked rather small and crystal clear, quietly floating above his left hand, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Zihuang handed the head bone to Wang Xiao with a calm smile.

"This head soul bone was taken from a great white shark with a nine-thousand-year cultivation level. The accompanying soul skill is solidification, which is a mental attack type soul skill. The one who performs the best in the subsequent extermination of those pirate groups will obtain this soul bone."

The crowd's gazes instantly turned fervent. A solidified soul skill—that was a symbol of a high-quality soul bone. And the fact that the accompanying soul skill was a mental attack meant that this soul bone was suitable for any soul master. Although the soul bone's age was only nine thousand years, its quality was comparable to many ten-thousand-year soul bones.

For ordinary soul masters, such a soul bone is undoubtedly a priceless treasure.

"Old Wang, I'll leave the rest to you and Brother Yang."

Xu Zihuang and Wang Xiao exchanged a glance. Before anyone could react, he and Ye Guyi jumped off the deck one after the other and boarded the Demon Whale, speeding towards the northern continent.

The Demon Whale quickly disappeared into the distant sea. Wang Xiao withdrew his gaze and looked at the crowd, shouting in a deep voice.

"Let's head back!"

"Yes!" The crowd's emotions were clearly stirred up.

……

Crossing hundreds of kilometers of sea was merely a matter of a few hours for the Demon Whale traveling at full speed. Before noon that day, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi arrived on the mainland.

The special level-six soul-guided shield that distorted the light dissipated, revealing the two figures.

Xu Zihuang sat at the front of the Demon Whale, while Ye Guyi straddled his lap, her arms around his neck.

They maintained this posture for more than two hours.

All of this was at Ye Guyi's request. Ever since she witnessed Xu Zihuang's intimate interactions with Ning Tian and Ju Zi, she had been stubbornly demanding that Xu Zihuang do exactly what she asked for.

Ye Guyi's smile vanished, and her cold gaze became incredibly oppressive.

"how do you feel?"

"It's quite comfortable."

Xu Zihuang was already used to it, and calmly met Ye Guyi's gaze, responding with composure.

Ye Guyi, who had been exuding a strong aura, suddenly blushed slightly and glared at Xu Zihuang with a coquettish look.

Xu Zihuang smiled and gently stroked Ye Guyi's fair and delicate cheek with his right hand, then leaned closer to savor it.
