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

The Soul Bone Skill of the 100,000-Year-Old Thunder Beast's Left Leg: Source of Lightning.

What made Hua Xiongyan's heart tremble was that the four blood-red soul rings that appeared around Xu Zihuang caused his pupils to lose focus.

"Four 100,000-year spirit rings?!"

Xu Zihuang smiled coldly, and his fourth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly. Deep purple and purple-gold light spots drifted out from his palms, like fireflies scattered throughout the space within a radius of several thousand meters.

Flame Fireflies formed by compressing destructive light to its extreme, and Lightning Fireflies formed by compressing ultimate lightning to its extreme.

This soul skill also possesses the characteristics of two attributes, but because its essence is to compress two attributes to their extreme and then explode, forcibly fusing them together would become uncontrollable even for Xu Zihuang at his current stage. Therefore, he did not risk attempting to use it in this way.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—"

A series of deafening explosions echoed through the space, with golden lightning and deep purple flames raging wildly. It was as if divine punishment had descended, turning this area into an absolute no-go zone in this world.

The two Soul Douluos and five Soul Saints brought by Hua Xiongyan were swallowed up by the terrifying energy of the explosion before they could even release their Martial Souls, instantly turning into ashes and disappearing into this Domain of Divine Punishment.

Soul and spirit annihilated!

"Roar—" Amidst a deep roar, a massive figure struggled frantically in this area. Under the scorching heat of the destructive flames and the bombardment of the purple-gold lightning, it seemed to be enduring indescribable pain.

It was clear that it was a giant wolf over thirty meters long, covered in oval purple scales, its muscles exuding a powerful beauty.

It was Hua Xiong Yan who unleashed his true form as a dragon and wolf.

The dragon-wolf's true form's blood-red eyes held only fear and a fierce will to survive. A layer of pitch-black light enveloped its entire body, causing the deep purple flames of destruction and the purple-gold lightning to dim somewhat.

This is the innate ability of the Dragon Wolf's true form: decomposition. It can decompose all elements. But that only exists in theory. Xu Zihuang's ultimate lightning and destructive attributes are far superior in quality to ordinary attributes.

Hua Xiongyan can at most reduce the two types of attacks he suffers to a certain extent.

At the same time, Xu Zihuang's gaze suddenly locked onto a patch of void in the distance, and he said calmly.

"Since you're here, come out."

Chapter 426 The Hypocrite and the Soul Bones of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Tyrannosaurus Rex

Xu Zihuang hovered above the area where the Flame Fireflies and Thunder Fireflies exploded, raising his head indifferently.

Despite being in the state of Lightning Source, he was not far from the center of the explosion, yet he was completely unaffected by the destructive and lightning energy impacts.

His pure lightning elemental body allows him to significantly reduce the physical and energy attacks he receives. Moreover, the Flame Firefly and Lightning Firefly were originally unleashed by him, and these energies share the same origin as his martial soul.

"Since you're here, come out."

With her long, shimmering purple-gold hair billowing up, Xu Zihuang looked like a true thunder god delivering a divine decree, one that no one could disobey.

Several blue feathers drifted down from the sky, and without warning, a strange blue flame suddenly ignited in the void. A refined-looking middle-aged man emerged from it.

The middle-aged man had a handsome face and a dignified appearance. His white robe was spotless, and he looked to be in his forties.

Although he was deeply shocked by Xu Zihuang's soul ring configuration and terrifying strength, his gaze remained gentle, making it easy for people to feel good about him.

"Young friend, you have a keen sense of perception." The middle-aged man praised with a gentle smile, adopting a very humble attitude.

“My daughter told me that you wish to see me, so I, Tianyao, would naturally not dare to be negligent.”

The newcomer was none other than Feng Tianyao, the lord of Qingfeng Territory. Although Feng Tianyao could not compare to a seasoned powerhouse like Hua Xiong Yan, he had broken through to the Title Douluo realm in recent years. Since he took charge of Qingfeng Territory, it had almost completely reversed its previous decline in just a few years, becoming one of the most powerful territories in the Southern Alliance of the Star Sea Continent.

Just as Xu Zihuang and Feng Tianyao were talking, Hua Xiongyan used several amplification-type soul skills in succession to forcefully break through the blockade of Xu Zihuang's Flame Firefly and Thunder Firefly.

"Roar—" The dragon wolf roared to the sky, its powerful aura and deep, rolling sound blending together to darken the sky above.

The Flame Firefly and Thunder Firefly were not used by Xu Zihuang at his strongest, and coupled with the difference in their soul power cultivation, Hua Xiongyan ultimately managed to block the attack. This was also thanks to the unique decomposition power of his Dragon-Wolf True Form.

If it were an ordinary Title Douluo with other martial souls, it would definitely not be so easy for them to escape from Xu Zihuang's soul skill.

Even so, Hua Xiong Yan still suffered considerable internal injuries. The terrifying ultimate lightning had directly breached his defenses, and some of its destructive power had even invaded his body.

Although he was using his powerful soul force to resist the invasion of the destructive power, it was not easy to dissolve the domineering destructive power in a short time.

At present, he can only exert up to 80% of his peak strength.

The pitch-black eighth spirit ring expanded around Hua Xiongyan, and his figure flashed and appeared above Xu Zihuang's head, his huge, menacing wolf claws slamming down.

Five deep black blades emerged from the wolf's claws, slicing straight towards Xu Zihuang's body.

Eighth Soul Skill: Dragon Wolf Annihilation Claw!

This is his strongest single-target attack soul skill, and it doesn't require much charging.

"You little beast, die!" Hua Xiongyan roared through gritted teeth. The two Soul Douluos and seven Soul Saints he had just brought were practically the entire elite force of their Dragon Wolf Territory.

The complete annihilation of their army here was enough to shake the foundation of their Dragon Wolf Territory. However, the reason he unleashed his abilities without reservation was because he personally felt fear.

Xu Zihuang is so strong at such a young age. How could he possibly stop him when he grows up?

Now that we've already offended them, the only option is to eliminate them at all costs.

Hua Xiongyan may have flaws in his personality, but the one thing he has in abundance is his decisiveness in leading the Dragon Wolf Territory for so many years.

Black light surged, and solidified energy claws appeared out of thin air. Although they appeared slightly more ethereal than his true wolf claws, their imposing aura was in no way diminished. Five terrifying claw shadows seemed to tear through space itself.

Not only that, Hua Xiongyan also shouted loudly at Feng Tianyao: "Lord Feng, this boy is an alien race from another sea area. He has infiltrated our Star Sea Continent with a purpose. Please lend me a hand. I swear on my own martial spirit that I will reward you handsomely afterward! Anything that belongs to my Dragon Wolf Territory is mine!"

Hua Xiongyan, who was not entirely confident before, felt much more at ease when he saw Feng Tianyao appear.

Feng Tianyao enjoys an excellent reputation throughout the entire Star Sea Continent. He is kind and treats everyone with great courtesy, especially those with great talent. There has never been any bad news about him; he is the epitome of a perfect gentleman.

Moreover, his words were quite skillful; labeling Xu Zihuang as a foreigner was tantamount to manipulating public opinion. Furthermore, considering the current situation, he believed Feng Tianyao would feel some sense of shared vulnerability. Finally, he offered him substantial rewards.

Feng Tianyao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering, and he did not make a decision rashly at the first moment.

He seemed to have multiple choices, but in reality, there were only two. One was, as Hua Xiongyan said, for the two of them to join forces and kill Xu Zihuang. The other was to stand against Hua Xiongyan.

As for remaining neutral and impartial, that's the most foolish thing to do. It's easy to offend both sides.

On the surface, the first option carries the least risk. Although Xu Zihuang's strength is simply beyond reason, with the combined power of their two Title Douluos, the odds of victory are still very high.

The second option, however, carries far too many uncertainties. But if implemented, it is not only highly feasible but also likely to bring him even greater rewards. It's a high-stakes gamble.

Feng Tianyao's expression shifted rapidly, his mind racing. He seemed to have made a decision, and then returned to his usual gentle and refined demeanor.

A magnificent and noble azure phoenix appeared behind him, emitting a resounding phoenix cry. Azure flames rose, turning the space behind him into a sea of ​​azure fire.

The Jade Phoenix is ​​a subspecies of the Phoenix, and it also possesses the aura of the king of birds.

Like Hua Xiong Yan, Feng Tian Yao's nine spirit rings were the optimal combination of two yellow, two purple, and five black rings. Although his spirit power cultivation was slightly lower than Hua Xiong Yan's, his aura was no less impressive.

This is the advantage of the quality of one's Martial Soul. The unique cultivation system of Soul Masters dictates that the higher the quality of one's Martial Soul, the greater the advantage in the later stages of cultivation.

If your martial soul isn't of high enough quality, there's no possibility of accumulating strength for a future breakthrough. Unless you obtain a fate-defying opportunity like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Sensing that Feng Tianyao was preparing to make a move just as he had anticipated, Hua Xiongyan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

But in the next instant, he realized something was wrong.

Feng Tianyao's target wasn't Xu Zihuang, but him!

The azure flame wings behind Feng Tianyao unfurled, and a lifelike azure flame phoenix quickly materialized in front of him, righteously and sternly rebuking him.

"Hua Xiong Yan, please tell me what an alien race is?! This young friend is a human soul master just like you and me. He has come all the way to our Star Sea Continent. He is a guest, and we should welcome him with open arms. But you acted domineeringly, and when you tried to oppress this young friend, your subordinate was killed in retaliation. You deserve what you got."

"I am ashamed to be associated with you." At this moment, Feng Tianyao's face seemed to be bathed in the radiance of justice.

"Today, I will join forces with you, young friend, to wipe out scum like you for the sake of the Star Sea Continent!"

Before he finished speaking, the azure phoenix in front of Feng Tianyao swooped down toward the back of Hua Xiongyan's true form of the dragon wolf.

"You?!" The sudden change in attitude made Hua Xiong Yan so angry he almost vomited blood. Then, as if he instantly realized something, his voice became extremely gloomy.

"Fine! What a hypocrite! Feng Tianyao, I never expected you to be so cunning. Your high-sounding excuses are a lie; your true intention is to annex my Dragon Wolf Territory, isn't it? Did you think I would let you have your way?!"

Feng Tianyao remained unmoved, and together with Xu Zihuang, they formed a pincer movement against Hua Xiongyan.

Hua Xiong Yan quickly accelerated the release of his eighth soul skill, Dragon Wolf Annihilation Claw. This soul skill could indeed be cast instantly and could lock onto a target. However, he locked onto the target by sealing off space, requiring a certain amount of time before he could actually attack.

The effect of this soul skill is suppression!

Hua Xiongyan's attack struck Xu Zihuang first. Just as he was preparing to turn around to defend against Feng Tianyao's soul skill, his right claw seemed to be firmly gripped by something, immobilizing him in place, and his body was also unable to move.

Upon seeing the scene within the giant wolf claw's shadow in the gloomy forest, both Hua Xiong Yan and Feng Tian Yao's pupils contracted sharply.

Xu Zihuang stood expressionless in the air, casually extending his left hand. But his left hand had completely transformed into a dragon claw. His finger bones had become extremely thick and long, covered in deep purple scales, extending all the way to his wrist. Clusters of deep purple, translucent flames danced on the dragon claw. The flames drifted in the wind, and even a mere wisp of their aura seemed to extinguish all life within this space, reducing it to nothingness.

It was the Radiant Dragon Claw, an external soul bone fused to Xu Zihuang's left palm. Over the years, due to the need to conceal his identity, he had hardly used the abilities of this external soul bone. However, as his cultivation level improved, this soul bone was also subtly evolving.

Although his soul power cultivation is still far behind that of a titled Douluo, the depth and quality of his soul power surpasses that of ordinary titled Douluos and even Super Douluos.

This external soul bone, the Radiant Dragon Claw, has now evolved to a level comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul bone!

Xu Zihuang's left hand, the Radiant Dragon Claw, contracted, and the enormous black energy wolf claw instantly shattered and collapsed, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the number of spirit rings around Xu Zihuang suddenly switched to seven.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red! Gold!

Hua Xiong Yan and Feng Tian Yao felt as if their hearts were being gripped by an invisible hand. With each spirit ring that appeared around Xu Zi Huang, the oppressive feeling in their hearts grew heavier.

If the first five ten-thousand-year spirit rings and the sixth hundred-thousand-year spirit ring were barely within their acceptable range, when the golden million-year spirit ring rose, their eyes were filled with utter horror.

Xu Zihuang not only possesses twin martial souls, but is also a seven-ring Soul Saint!

And what exactly is that bright golden spirit ring?

There has never been any record of a bright golden spirit ring on their Star Sea Continent.

Space distorted, and Hua Xiongyan's true form as a dragon and wolf suddenly appeared in front of Xu Zihuang.

Before Hua Xiong Yan could react, Xu Zi Huang used the Radiant Dragon Claw to shatter his Martial Soul True Body.

At this moment, Feng Tianyao's attack arrived. The azure phoenix he conjured was a locking-type soul skill. However, because Xu Zihuang controlled the power of space and teleported Hua Xiongyan in front of him, the soul skill lost its locking effect and landed in empty space.

Xu Zihuang's left hand, Radiant Dragon Claw, continued to reach forward, grabbing Hua Xiongyan's head, his voice indifferent.

"Is it only at times like this that you, a useless old fool, realize your own stupidity and incompetence?"

Hua Xiong Yan was now truly terrified, his hair disheveled and him looking extremely disheveled. Xu Zi Huang's voice in his ear sounded like the whisper of death to him.

He closed his eyes, his face ashen, as if he had aged considerably in an instant. His tightly clenched hands fell limply to his sides, and he gave up all resistance.

“Kill me or torture me, it is up to you. But what I did has nothing to do with my grandson, could you spare his life?” Hua Xiongyan said sadly.

Human nature is complex. Even Hua Xiongyan, on his deathbed, had admirable qualities.

"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?" Xu Zihuang smiled coldly, but then changed his tone.
