Both are six-ring Soul Emperors, but Wang Qiu'er has the best Soul Ring ratio of two yellow, two purple, and two black.

What shocked them most was that Wang Qiu'er looked no older than twenty. In their Star Sea Continent, a twenty-year-old with a four-ring Soul Master cultivation level was already considered a top genius.

Feng Lingwei advanced to the Soul Master level at the age of eighteen and was hailed as a genius that the Feng family of Qingfeng Territory had not seen in hundreds of years.

A Soul Emperor at less than twenty years old—is this really something a human Soul Master could achieve?

The shock in Feng Lingwei's beautiful eyes was quickly replaced by self-doubt.

Wang Qiu'er completely crushed her in every aspect.

A piercing pain shot through his right arm, causing the middle-aged guard with the Dark Silver Bear Martial Soul to tremble uncontrollably. The hundred Qi and Blood Warriors behind him were all intimidated by Wang Qiu'er's imposing aura.

Xu Zihuang calmly stepped forward to Wang Qiu'er's side, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, using his soul power to pull the unconscious Hua Ancheng over.

He grabbed Hua Ancheng by the collar, as if he were carrying a dead dog, and said indifferently.

"He's not dead yet. Have the lord of your Dragon Wolf Territory come here personally to ransom him. Remember, I'm only giving you one day."

Dark Silver Bear Soul Emperor's expression shifted, but due to the terrifying strength displayed by Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er, he suppressed his desire to fight head-on and led his men away.

"Walk!".

At this moment, Xu Zihuang glanced at Feng Lingwei again, speaking in a completely commanding tone.

"You're from the Qingfeng Territory, right? Have your lord from Qingfeng Territory come here as well."

That's just how people are; they always take advantage of kindness. Only in the face of absolute force will they submit and become subservient.

Before Feng Lingwei could speak, the old man beside her said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, I don't think we've offended you. Although we know these people from the Dragon Wolf Territory, we didn't interfere just now."

Xu Zihuang repeated it in a calm tone.

"I said, have your Qingfeng Territory's lord come over here. I don't want to say it a third time."

Feng Lingwei opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the old man stopped her and said to Xu Zihuang in a serious tone.

"I assure you that I will convey your words to the lord."

After saying this, the old man led Feng Lingwei and the others away from the canyon.

Chapter 425 Old man, are you getting too cocky?

The mountain range outside the Meteor Forest is vast and boundless, and there is naturally more than one way to enter it.

However, the terrain of this canyon is relatively flat, and since it is close to the interior of the mountains, and the Dragon Wolf Territory often sends out Soul Master teams to clear out those wandering Soul Beasts, it is relatively safe.

Even for Soul Masters who want to cross the mountains to hunt Soul Beasts in the Meteor Forest to obtain Soul Rings for advancement, entering from here can save them some trouble.

This canyon was rightfully under the firm control of the Dragon Wolf Territory.

The prosperity of the city dozens of kilometers north of the mountains is undoubtedly related to the unique circumstances there.

After all, any Soul Master within the Dragon Wolf Territory would be permitted to enter the Meteor Forest through this canyon.

Soul Masters are a wealthy group, so before entering the canyon, they inevitably need to rest in the nearest city.

Over time, this will easily drive urban development.

Soldiers are usually stationed at the entrance of the canyon, partly to maintain order and partly to prevent the exiled settlers from escaping.

The hundred Qi and Blood Warriors that Hua'an City brought earlier were drawn from this group.

However, now that the young master of the Dragon Wolf Territory in Hua'an City has fallen into Xu Zihuang's hands, in order to avoid provoking Xu Zihuang, the Dark Silver Bear Soul Emperor ordered all troops to withdraw from this area. Furthermore, the outer perimeter was sealed off, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving the canyon.

The rising sun brings its warm, benevolent light from the east.

Bathed in the soft golden light, Xu Zihuang carried Hua'an City to a mountain on the right side of the canyon.

A solid, deep purple light blade condensed in his left hand. As he stretched out his left arm, a deep purple light blade swept across, cutting a clearing of about several tens of square meters on the mountaintop.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, scattering golden light.

Xu Zihuang's right hand then released a purple-gold light blade. With his hands overlapping, the two light blades, one deep purple and the other purple-gold, instantly merged into one, transforming into a deep black light blade.

The massive rock that had been cut off earlier, pierced by the black blade of light, instantly vanished into nothingness, disappearing without a trace. It was as if it had been erased from the world out of thin air.

Xu Zihuang was using the fourth soul skill of his second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon: Lightning Blade.

Like his previous three soul skills, his fourth soul skill also possesses multiple characteristics. The ultimate lightning attribute lightning blade in his right hand and the destructive attribute destruction light blade in his left hand are fused together to form the annihilation light blade.

It perfectly complements his first soul skill, Annihilation Spear.

Xu Zihuang left Hua'an City behind and sat down at the edge of the open space. He gazed intently at the outline of the city in the distance, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Dragon Wolf Territory Lord and the Azure Phoenix Territory Lord.

The mountain breeze blowing against his face fluttered his clothes, and his thoughts seemed to drift away with it, making it impossible to discern what was on his mind.

Wang Qiu'er stood silently behind Xu Zihuang, her arms crossed. But her gaze remained fixed on Xu Zihuang, her clear pinkish-blue eyes swirling with complex emotions.

Her action of blocking the Dark Silver Bear Soul Emperor's attack was purely subconscious.

Wang Qiu'er was conflicted about whether she was doing this because of a habit she had developed when she and Xu Zihuang fought off the sea spirit beasts together, or...

Thinking of this, her eyes regained their clarity from their daze, and she pursed her lips slightly.

"This guy..."

The Dark Silver Bear Soul Emperor who left the canyon disregarded his own injuries, used his soul power to alleviate the pain, and then gritted his teeth and embarked on the journey back to Dragon Wolf City.

As Hua Ancheng's personal bodyguard, he could not shirk his responsibility after such an unexpected turn of events.

Meanwhile, Feng Lingwei and her group were also rushing impatiently towards Qingfeng Territory, north of Dragon Wolf Territory.

The elderly man leading the guards transformed into a golden roc, over ten meters long with wingspans exceeding fifteen meters. Everyone, including Feng Lingwei, stood on his back.

Feng Lingwei was clearly greatly shocked by Wang Qiu'er's astonishing cultivation level.

A Soul Emperor at less than twenty years old—this was truly astonishing. If they hadn't witnessed Wang Qiu'er crush the Dark Silver Bear Soul Emperor with a single punch, they might have been able to console themselves.

But the facts are undeniable. Wang Qiu'er is indeed a genuine Soul Emperor, and her strength far surpasses that of ordinary Soul Emperors.

Feng Lingwei's expression turned solemn, and she couldn't help but ask the old man who had used his Martial Soul True Body, "Elder Zhao, who do you think they are? If such people really existed on our Star Sea Continent, it should have spread by now. How could there be no news at all?"

Zhao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then replied meaningfully.

"They may not be native to our Starsea Continent."

"What did you say?!" Not only Feng Lingwei, but also the other seven guards behind her widened their eyes upon hearing Zhao Xiao's words.

Zhao Xiao continued in a deep voice, "Miss, do you remember that legend that has been passed down from ancient times?"

"Around 30,000 years ago, the seas surrounding our Star Sea Continent were extremely chaotic, frequently teeming with powerful sea spirit beasts that even the ancient spirit masters could not contend with. As the saying goes, troubled times produce heroes. In other seas, a genius of extraordinary talent emerged. He single-handedly traversed every corner of the ocean throughout his life. Wielding a trident, he conquered one race after another in the seas with his immense strength and unparalleled personal charisma. After 1,001 years, he finally unified the oceans and was revered as the Sea God by all sea creatures, creating an immortal myth."

"That being once visited our Starsea Continent, leaving behind some scattered legends. Although the veracity of those legends cannot be confirmed, there should indeed be other humans in the outer seas."

Feng Lingwei asked in surprise, "Elder Zhao, are you saying that they and that legendary sea god came from the same place?"

"This is probably the most likely possibility," Zhao Xiao sighed softly.

"If my guess is correct, the boy's talent and strength should be even greater than that girl's. But even so, they shouldn't rashly offend the Hua family of Dragon Wolf Territory. Given the personality of that Dragon Wolf Territory lord, he probably won't let this go so easily. Our most important task right now is to hurry back to Azure Phoenix Territory and convey this message to the lord."

What Zhao Xiao didn't say was that if he could befriend and seize the opportunity with such exceptional talents as Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er, it would definitely be an unprecedented opportunity.

Of course, these matters should be decided by the lord of Qingfeng Territory.

The arrival of Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er has subtly influenced the changing situation on the Star Sea Continent. Their every move will affect the fate of countless people.

On the flat-topped mountain, Xu Zihuang sat from dawn until dusk, until the sun began to set.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a beautiful light and shadow over the entire rolling mountain range, overlapping in the gaps between the branches and leaves of the forest.

Whether it was out of spite or not, Wang Qiu'er did not ask Xu Zihuang to prepare food as usual, and instead sat cross-legged on the open ground at the top of the mountain to cultivate for a day.

As for Hua Ancheng, because Xu Zihuang deliberately controlled his strength, although he didn't suffer irreversible damage, he would inevitably be unconscious for a period of time. He wouldn't wake up for at least the day.

Just then, the sky in the distance suddenly darkened considerably.

Xu Zihuang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them as if sensing something.

Dark clouds churned, and a low, cold snort boomed like thunder.

"Youngster, you want me to come and redeem them personally? Now that I'm here, can you handle me?!"

A sprightly old man emerged from the dark clouds, standing proudly in the air with his hands behind his back. The old man's appearance bore a five or six-point resemblance to Hua Ancheng, with a medium build and long, neatly combed black hair. Although he looked quite old, there weren't many gray hairs in his long black hair.

It was Hua Xiongyan, the current lord of the Dragon Wolf Territory.

Behind him, seven streaks of light followed closely. These seven were all Soul Masters with a cultivation level of Soul Saint or higher, capable of flying. There were two Soul Douluo with eight rings and five Soul Saints in total.

How could the Hua family of Dragon Wolf Territory not have some profound foundation to rule such a large territory and have been able to do so for so many years?

If this force were placed in the Douluo Continent, it would be enough to support a top-tier sect.

Hua Xiongyan stared coldly at Xu Zihuang below, and noticed Hua Ancheng, who had fainted behind him. The intense killing intent in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"No matter where you come from, if you dare to attack the Hua family of my Dragon Wolf Territory, none of you will leave here alive today."

Since the Hua family established the Dragon Wolf Territory, no one has dared to challenge their authority for countless years.

Hua Ancheng was his only grandson, the future of their Dragon Wolf Territory. The anger he felt after what had happened was unimaginable.

Furthermore, people from Qingfeng Territory also know about these matters. If he doesn't handle this situation forcefully enough, it might send a negative message.

This is something Hua Xiongyan doesn't want to see. Despite the Dragon Wolf Territory's great power, they have a most serious problem: a lack of successors.

Although his grandson has good talent, it will take him at least thirty to forty years to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo.

On the Star Sea Continent, Title Douluos represent the most elite fighting force. Only with Title Douluos in command can a family maintain sufficient deterrence and ensure its continued existence for generations.

Hua Xiong Yan is getting old, and he needs to gradually pave the way for his grandson. This incident is one such opportunity. He wants everyone to see that he is powerful and his strength is no less than it was in his prime.

One after another, rings of spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

Hua Xiong Yan's powerful aura, befitting a titled Douluo, instantly swept out, pressing down on Xu Zi Huang and Wang Qiu Er.

Xu Zihuang raised his head without flinching, his eyes icy cold.

"You old fool, you think you can get away with this?!"

Xu Zihuang's indifferent voice rang out, and the terrifying mental pressure he released instantly resisted Hua Xiongyan's aura, even showing signs of backlash.

Hua Xiong Yan let out a muffled groan, regaining his footing, but the two Soul Douluos and five Soul Saints behind him were falling to the ground in a very disheveled state. Affected by Xu Zi Huang's mental pressure, they seemed to have lost control of their own soul power, their eyes filled with fear and horror.

By the time Hua Xiongyan had recovered, Xu Zihuang was already standing in front of him.

Xu Zihuang's body transformed into a translucent, crystalline purple-gold color, as swift as lightning.
