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

As they spoke, the soul power within both her and Xu Zihuang began to circulate.

"Ah! Ah! No! Please don't do this!"

The fragrant and elegant fairy was immediately flustered and had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Isn't it enough that I'll give it to you?"

A purple light rose from the flower's stamen. This purple light appeared very gentle, without the slightest hint of domineering aura. It was just a purple bead the size of a cherry. It looked a lot like amethyst, but inside the crystal-clear bead, one could vaguely see a layer of faint, misty radiance gently pulsating.

Amidst the pained, humiliated, and reluctant gaze of the fragrant and beautiful immortal, Xu Zihuang reached out his right hand, grasped the Heart of the Fragrant Immortal, and stored it in his storage soul tool.

Then Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi looked towards the Fiery Apricot Blossom, which was located in the center of the fiery red spring.

"Your turn next."

Before Xu Zihuang could finish speaking, a deep rumble of thunder followed. Without warning, streaks of blackish-purple lightning, as thick as buckets, descended from the sky, piercing through the seven-colored poisonous miasma and engulfing Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's body.

In the blink of an eye, the dark purple lightning above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had become incredibly dense, and it struck Liehuo Xingjiaoshu one after another.

Thunderous Hell Vine's right leg bone soul skill, Lightning Forest. Moreover, it is a Lightning Forest comparable to a 200,000-year-old soul bone skill, and is amplified by the ultimate lightning attribute.

"Ah!" The sudden scene caused Liehuo Xingjiaoshu to let out a terrified scream, mobilizing her soul power to form a layer of fiery red light shield to protect her body. Under the continuous bombardment of the Thunder Forest, the fiery red light shield quickly dimmed. Liehuo Xingjiaoshu felt her whole body go numb, and even her soul seemed to tremble.

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu is indeed a true 100,000-year-old soul beast, but as a plant-type soul beast, its abilities lean more towards using its own extreme fire attribute for ranged attacks or defense. Its combat power and strength are significantly weaker than those of 100,000-year-old animal-type soul beasts.

Moreover, her mastery of extreme fire attribute is now completely suppressed by Xu Zihuang's extreme lightning attribute.

Even among the ultimate attributes, there are differences in quality.

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's fire attribute was only just entering the realm of ultimate fire, while Xu Zihuang's Purple Thunder Prison Dragon Martial Soul's ultimate lightning attribute was already close to its limit. Furthermore, he was using a 100,000-year-level soul skill, so suppressing Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was perfectly normal.

After fusing with the Thunderous Hell Vine, Xu Zihuang was even capable of contending with a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

The vibrant fragrance of the apricot blossoms grew increasingly weak.

The violent and dense lightning element raged wildly within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, causing all the plant-type soul beasts to instinctively feel fear.

But Qiluo Tulip still managed to shout it out despite her reluctance.

"and many more!"

"Hmm?" Xu Zihuang glanced indifferently at the Qiluo Tulip.

Qiluo Tulip said sincerely but bitterly, "Could you spare Ajiao this once? As compensation, you can choose one of me, Youyou, Bajiao, or Ajiao. We will unconditionally become beings like Leiming Yanyu Vine and follow you. We are all 100,000 years old, and we believe that this will be able to help you better."

"No need." Xu Zihuang chuckled, and a blood-red spirit ring rose from beneath his feet. The blood-red light shimmered on the spirit ring.

A long spear materialized in front of him.

The spear is about three and a half meters long, and is entirely dark black with a simple and unadorned style.

But the instant the black spear appeared, the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed up by it, and the space around became noticeably darker. Staring at the black spear, one felt a sense of instant annihilation, as if their soul and consciousness were about to be obliterated.

Purple Thunder Prison Dragon's first soul skill, Annihilation Divine Spear.

This is a masterpiece that perfectly blends the attributes of ultimate lightning and destruction. It is a rare weapon-type soul skill. If Xu Zihuang adds other soul skills to the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon in the future, the Annihilation Divine Spear will amplify its power.

Then, under Xu Zihuang's control, the Annihilation Spear that was floating in front of him split into two.

The Thor's Spear, crackling with blackish-purple lightning, and the Destruction Spear, wreathed in deep purple flames. Compared to the Annihilation Spear, the Thor's Spear and the Destruction Spear are far more dazzling. Each is entwined with a clear dragon pattern: a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon. Inside, there are also magnificent golden patterns, the same bamboo-like golden patterns on the surface of the Thunderous Hell Vine.

Xu Zihuang held Thor's Spear and Destruction Spear in his hands respectively, and looked at Qiluo Tulip with a smile.

"Today, Liehuo Xingjiao is doomed to die. If you want to help her, just do it."

As he spoke, Xu Zihuang simultaneously swung the Thor's Spear and the Destruction Spear in his hands. Two exceptionally thick bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky, like two giant dragons intertwined, their blackish-purple and deep purple colors clearly distinct, and violently struck Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

Chapter 339 Annihilation of the Fiery Apricot Blossom and Medusa's Head Soul Bone

The power of the Thunder Forest, amplified by Thor's Spear and the Spear of Destruction, suddenly surged.

It was filled with an intense aura of destruction. The attributes of ultimate lightning and destruction naturally have a strong restraining effect on plant-type soul beasts. Even a plant-type soul beast like Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, who has a cultivation of 100,000 years, is no exception.

Two intertwined bolts of lightning instantly shattered the fiery red protective shield that Liehuo Xingjiaoshu had conjured. The red light flashing on Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's body dimmed at a visible speed, and streaks of lightning, like snakes, danced across her body.

After this confrontation, her very essence was severely damaged, and she was no longer able to contend with Xu Zihuang.

Ye Guyi glanced at Xu Zihuang in surprise. Both were weapon-type soul skills, but Xu Zihuang's Thunder God Spear and Destruction Spear were far superior to her Angelic Holy Sword. However, this was to be expected, since the Annihilation Spear, which split into the Thunder God Spear and Destruction Spear, was a soul skill of the 100,000-year level.

Normally, a 100,000-year spirit ring grants a spirit master two spirit skills. However, in reality, if a 100,000-year spirit ring only grants a spirit master one spirit skill, that skill will be exceptionally powerful.

The reasoning behind this is not difficult to understand. When a 100,000-year spirit ring comes with two spirit skills, the power of the spirit ring is somewhat dispersed. However, the Annihilation Divine Spear, the unique spirit skill attached to the first spirit ring of Xu Zihuang's Purple Thunder Prison Dragon Martial Soul, is the purest and most powerful kind of existence.

However, if given a choice, most Soul Masters would likely choose the former. After all, not everyone is like Xu Zihuang, possessing twin Martial Souls and never lacking Soul Skills.

Having cultivated for so long, Xu Zihuang has unknowingly accumulated as many as twelve soul skills. This does not include the golden and silver scale-like external soul bone between his eyebrows, which has the ability to gather the power of heaven and earth, or the soul skill Thunder God's Whip controlled by the 100,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine soul spirit itself.

But for ordinary Soul Masters, having an extra Soul Skill means having an extra advantage.

None of the three—Qiluo Tulip, Youxiang Qiluo Fairy, and Bajiao Xuanbing Grass—attempted to rescue Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

The Fragrant Fairy and the Fairy Tulip were not skilled in combat and were momentarily caught off guard. The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, closest to the Fiery Apricot, knew it was no match for Xu Zihuang. Its overall strength was roughly equal to the Fiery Apricot's; if even the Fiery Apricot couldn't withstand Xu Zihuang's soul skill, it would suffer the same fate.

Since they developed their intelligence and cultivated to the point of 100,000 years ago, this was the first time they had truly experienced the feeling of powerlessness that they could not even control their own destiny.

Thor's Spear and Destruction Spear vanished from Xu Zihuang's hands, along with the only blood-red spirit ring beside him. In their place were six spirit rings: five black and one red.

A crimson sixth spirit ring shone, and sixteen golden and silver tentacles, each over a hundred meters long, emerged from the void. The strange golden patterns branded on the tentacles shimmered, and the terrifying soul-shaking power within them made the plant-type spirit beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well flee in terror.

Two of the tentacles wrapped around the body of the fiery apricot blossom and then broke her off at the root, placing her on the shore.

Xu Zihuang used three 100,000-year soul skills in succession, overwhelming Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

Where was the arrogance that Liehuo Xingjiao had displayed when she first met Xu Zihuang? She could feel her original power rapidly declining. As a plant-type soul beast, even with a cultivation level of 100,000 years, the broken root of her body was an irreversible injury.

"Youyou." The fiery apricot blossoms called out pitifully to the fragrant and exquisite fairy. Her extremely weak voice was filled with hope.

Among the four 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts, she had the best relationship with Youxiang Qiluo Immortal.

The large pink flower of the Fragrant Silk Fairy Flower was still in full bloom, though the loss of the Silk Heart had slightly diminished its fresh fragrance. Looking at the pitiful state of the Fiery Apricot Blossom, she felt a pang of sympathy for its fallen mate.

But when one's life is threatened, even the deepest sisterly affection becomes meaningless.

The fragrant and exquisite fairy remained silent. Out of shame and reluctance, she kept searching for reasons in her heart to excuse herself.

"Waaah, I'm sorry, Ah Jiao. I'm not good at fighting, so I can't help you."

Liehuo Xingjiao was utterly desperate; as the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a broken heart. Even her best friend was unwilling to help her, and she no longer wanted to rely on the Qiluo Tulip and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

Soon, her spiritual sea was invaded by the mental shockwave ability attached to the Soul Touch, and her consciousness began to blur. In her dying moments, she did not hear a single word from any of the plant-type soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

While mocking himself, a deep resentment arose in his heart.

Just then, a long sword as clear as golden crystal pierced through Liehuo Xingjiao's body.

It was Ye Guyi who stepped forward with the Seven Star Flame Sword and ended the life of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

Xu Zihuang casually retrieved the blazing glue that had floated from the heart of the Fiery Apricot Blossom. It was a bright red, transparent gelatinous substance. Although Xu Zihuang enveloped the blazing glue with his ultimate lightning-attribute soul power, the heat emanating from it still caused the surrounding space to slightly distort. This was enough to show just how astonishing the heat it contained was.

The fiery apricot blossoms began to collapse, then exploded like shattered crystal, turning into countless dazzling red specks of light that vanished. Only a strange, blood-red soul ring remained, suspended in the air.

At the center of that spirit ring, there was a strange spirit bone radiating a scorching aura. It was a left arm spirit bone, its entire body a crimson red, almost like red crystal.

Unlike soul bones from animal-type soul beasts, this left arm soul bone is engraved with beautiful patterns, somewhat resembling the appearance of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's original form. However, upon closer inspection, the patterns actually resemble a red lotus.

A red lotus growing in purgatory.

Xu Zihuang nodded to Ye Guyi.

"Sister Lingyi, let's begin."

"Hmm." Ye Guyi did not hesitate and immediately sat down cross-legged next to Xu Zihuang, releasing the Holy Angel Martial Soul and using her soul power to guide the blood-red 100,000-year soul ring to begin merging with herself.

When Xu Zihuang absorbed the spirit ring and spirit bone of the 100,000-year-old pure spiritual type Evil Eye Tyrant, due to its special characteristics, he could first fuse with the spirit bone and then absorb the spirit ring.

But Ye Guyi didn't have that choice. Although Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, its soul ring only lasted for an hour. She had to absorb Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's soul ring first.

After consuming the 100,000-year-old Acacia Heartbreak Red, Ye Guyi's physical condition underwent a significant leap. Moreover, the Acacia Heartbreak Red was the emperor among immortal herbs, and the resentment of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's soul had no effect on Ye Guyi whatsoever.

Ye Guyi's body was enveloped in a golden-red light belonging to the Acacia Heartbreak Crimson, which firmly suppressed the resentment of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's soul. Her physical strength was also sufficient to withstand the impact of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's soul ring power, making the entire process extremely smooth.

However, it will definitely take her several days to complete the absorption. After all, this is a 100,000-year-level spirit ring.

Xu Zihuang did not put away the left arm soul bone that Liehuo Xingjiao had released, leaving the soul bone to float in front of the two of them.

At the same time, in front of plant-type soul beasts such as the Fragrant Fairy Tale, the Fairy Tulip, and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, he used the power of extreme lightning to gradually condense the scorching glue into a rhomboid crystal that fits the Seven Star Light Flame Sword.

"The roots of the Fiery Apricot are still there. I think that, thanks to the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, she should be able to be reborn here soon."

Xu Zihuang's words struck a chord with Qiluo Tulip and the others.

As long as the roots remain, the Fiery Apricot Blossom will eventually be reborn, and thus won't be considered truly fallen. Of course, all those 100,000 years of cultivation will be wasted. After rebirth, she must start cultivating from scratch.

The reason they didn't help Liehuo Xingjiao was not only because they were wary of Xu Zihuang's formidable personal strength and were powerless to do so, but also largely because of this.

Kira Tulip found the human before her increasingly difficult to understand, and asked with bitterness and confusion.

"Why are you so familiar with the situation of our Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

"As far as I know, the first person to discover the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire should be called Dugu Bo. The person you keep talking about is just a usurper."

Xu Zihuang chuckled lightly, a hint of mockery appearing in his deep purple eyes.

"Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo-level powerhouse ten thousand years ago. Why do you think he didn't tell future generations about this place?"

"You are a descendant of Dugu Bo?!" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin screamed in terror, her reaction unusually strong.

Then she suddenly realized something and quickly shut her mouth. But Xu Zihuang could clearly feel that Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin's fear had not diminished but increased.

Xu Zihuang frowned, his gaze deep as he looked at the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item. His spiritual power, at the Formless Realm, instantly suppressed the three plant-type soul beasts opposite him, each with a cultivation of 100,000 years.

"Although I am not a descendant of Dugu Bo, my origins are indeed somewhat related to him. It seems you are hiding some things, and these things are related to Dugu Bo. I'll give you a chance to be honest."

The fragrant and elegant fairy was so anxious she was almost in tears. Why did she have to be so cheeky and bring it up?

She swayed her body as if seeking help, facing the tulip and the eight-pointed ice grass.

"Xiangxiang, star anise, I..."

Qi Luo Tulip was speechless, secretly cursing Youxiang Qi Luo Immortal Item for being a troublemaker. It was bad enough that she had already caused Liehuo Xingjiao Shu to have her physical body destroyed by Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, but now she had dragged that other matter into the mix.

He really doesn't want to clean up this mess for Youxiang Qiluo Fairy Products anymore.

At this moment, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass suddenly spoke up, saying, "Let me speak."

Although the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass's voice was as cold as its original nature, it was a simple, youthful voice. The combination of the two created a striking contrast.
