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

Seeing that Xu Zihuang remained expressionless, it rolled over to flatter him, just like a cute little black cat trying to please its owner.

Xu Zihuang couldn't help but smile at the transformation of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

As it turns out, even the most arrogant and volatile soul beasts struggle to overcome the fear of death. Let alone with the immense temptation of eternal life before them.

What Xu Zihuang didn't know was that in the arena of life and death, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger couldn't even control its own self-destruction.

Now that its own fate is completely in Xu Zihuang's hands, it's not difficult for it to make this choice.

"Remember, you only have one chance." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly. Faced with an absolute difference in strength, it wasn't afraid of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger harboring any ulterior motives. With a thought, he chanted the incantation taught to him by Elder Yi, summoning a golden six-pointed star magic circle.

The light emanating from the six-pointed star formation simultaneously enveloped Xu Zihuang and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Sensing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's intent, Xu Zihuang slowly released his own spiritual power, summoning it.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body floated upwards uncontrollably, reaching Xu Zihuang's chest. Although it found this wondrous method of soul fusion somewhat strange, the emotions deep within its eyes remained calm.

Guided by Xu Zihuang, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger raised one of its front paws and placed it against Xu Zihuang's palm.

This form of the Dark Demon God Tiger completely lacked the previous ghostly, gleaming light of its claws, and soft pink fleshy balls grew on its small paws.

A dark, chilling aura emanated from the Dark Demon Tiger, its life force rapidly draining away. And the moment its life force was completely depleted, the arena of life and death suddenly blurred.

Space distorted, and his whole body felt light; Xu Zihuang had returned to the Douluo Continent.

The Dark Demon Tiger had reverted to its original form, hovering lifelessly in the air. The black aura emanating from its body formed rings that enveloped Xu Zihuang's body.

Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's cultivation was only close to 70,000 years, its primordial power was stronger than that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, comparable to a ferocious beast that had survived two heavenly tribulations or more. However, Xu Zihuang's physical attributes had long exceeded the norm. After these powers merged into his body, they quickly became one with his soul power, and he felt no pressure whatsoever throughout the entire process.

Xu Zihuang's body gradually turned into a deep, eerie black in the halo, and the four spirit rings of the Zihuang Thunder Prison Dragon Martial Soul slowly emerged.

Red, red, red, red. The four blood-red spirit rings shone brightly.

Xu Zihuang and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stayed in the Arena of Life and Death for less than a minute.

Ye Guyi approached Xu Zihuang the moment he reappeared, her full chest heaving slightly as she breathed a sigh of relief.

In this situation, Xu Zihuang has clearly achieved his goal. Moreover, the fusion with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has gone exceptionally smoothly.

"This is……"

The sacred unicorn silently followed behind Ye Guyi, gazing with suspicion and uncertainty at Xu Zihuang and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger not far ahead. It felt an overwhelming familiarity with this method of contract. Long-dormant memories were stirred.

This is the ability of the plane it once lived in.

Thinking of this, its gaze suddenly became intense.

It seems it wasn't just it; other beings from their plane must have unintentionally arrived in the Douluo plane as well. Perhaps it can find a way to return to its homeland from Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi.

Just as Ye Guyi and the Divine Unicorn were each lost in their own thoughts, a jet-black spirit ring rose from beneath Xu Zihuang's feet and solidified in the position of his fifth spirit ring. Injecting even a wisp of spirit power into it immediately unleashed a surge of monstrous evil energy. Even Xu Zihuang's body surface appeared covered in a strange gray hue.

Summoned by Xu Zihuang, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also awoke and mobilized its spiritual essence to instantly upgrade the fifth soul ring that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had given to Xu Zihuang to the 100,000-year level.

Unlike the previous four 100,000-year spirit rings, the fifth 100,000-year spirit ring, originating from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, had a slightly dimmer light, but its eerie blood-red color was even more vibrant. A chilling, surging evil aura emanated from it, like a hazy gray light.

Not long after, a sixth, blood-red spirit ring was added to the five spirit rings.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger bestowed upon Xu Zihuang his fifth and sixth spirit rings, a total of two 100,000-year spirit rings. In fact, given the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's profound resources, it was more than capable of providing Xu Zihuang with at least three spirit rings at once; however, Xu Zihuang had a better option for the last three spirit rings of his second spirit.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​and Niu Tian, ​​whose true form has evolved into the Azure Dragon, are his targets.

Although the fifth and sixth spirit rings bestowed upon Xu Zihuang by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger only came with a spirit skill, the power of those skills was significantly greater than that of the previous four spirit rings. This was due to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's racial innate abilities, and also because the energy of a 100,000-year spirit ring with only one spirit skill wouldn't be dispersed.

The quality of the 100,000-year Dark Demon God Tiger Soul Ring is undoubtedly higher than that of the 200,000-year Ferocious Beast Soul Ring. It's equivalent to two Ferocious Beast-level Soul Rings, each with an exceptionally powerful Soul Skill.

The process of Xu Zihuang merging with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lasted for more than an hour.

The Dark Demon God Tiger's true form completely transformed into an energy body and dissipated into the air.

The black aura receded from his body, and Xu Zihuang was filled with an indescribable sense of power. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a super soul beast, had no weaknesses; however, aside from its innate soul skills, its greatest strength lay in its power.

On the surface, the Dark Demon God Tiger is a soul beast with the attribute of strength.

Xu Zihuang absorbed the primordial power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and naturally, his strength increased the most among all his attributes. Not only that, his soul power cultivation also leaped from level 78 to the peak of level 79, just one step away from breaking through to the eighth-ring Soul Douluo realm.

Although it was only a minor increase of less than two levels in soul power, Xu Zihuang's soul power foundation was extremely astonishing. This total increase of nearly two levels in soul power was enough for an ordinary Title Douluo to break through their soul power bottleneck.

Another reason is that fusing with a soul spirit is different from directly absorbing a soul ring. When fusing with a soul spirit, a portion of the soul beast's original power needs to be used to condense its spiritual consciousness, thus dispersing its energy.

If Xu Zihuang were to kill this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and absorb its soul ring, he would surely be able to break through to level 80 in one fell swoop.

However, although the age of the spirit ring was forcibly increased to 100,000 years by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger itself is still far from reaching the level of a 100,000-year spirit beast, and it will need a period of time to gradually complete its evolution.

The Dark Demon God Tiger is different from the Thunderous Hell Vine from before.

The spiritual essence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger returned to silence within Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea. But before its silence, it gave Xu Zihuang its inner core, which contained the source of all its power, as a token of its allegiance.

Having already made this choice, holding back any further would be the most foolish thing to do. Moreover, from Xu Zihuang's past experiences, it knew that Xu Zihuang's previous words were not a lie. Signing a master-servant contract with Xu Zihuang did indeed make it abandon its dignity, but compared to the generous rewards, it was nothing at all.

Because soul beasts are destined to be unable to become gods.

The inner core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was a jet-black bead, emitting both cyan and blue light. It sat quietly on Xu Zihuang's lower abdomen, pulsating slowly. Then, it disappeared as the black light on Xu Zihuang's body subsided.

Xu Zihuang's gaze narrowed slightly as he sensed the changes within his body. The black bead from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger contained immense energy of six different attributes, including lightning. It was more suitable as the prototype for his third soul core than Elder Mu's Light-attribute True Dragon Pill.

This means that the Dragon Pill, which he once desperately wanted when he entered Shrek Academy, is now dispensable to him.

Just then, Xu Zihuang noticed something amiss and turned to look behind him.

A pair of enormous black wings unfurled behind him, blotting out the sky. These black wings were not the bony black wings of the Dark Demon God Tiger, but rather something between an energy body and a physical entity, giving them an ethereal quality.

The edges of the Blackwing were constantly changing shape, but its overall shape remained very stable.

These black wings have only one attribute: the attribute of extreme evil.

"External soul bone, wings of an evil god." Xu Zihuang blurted out the origin of these black wings. Standing before the silver moon, he turned around, and for a moment, even the silver moon seemed to dim.

Ye Guyi flapped the three pairs of angelic wings behind her and came to Xu Zihuang's side. She frowned slightly and murmured softly, "External soul bone with the ultimate evil attribute."

She had already learned about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's inner core from Xu Zihuang beforehand. However, this external soul bone, the Wings of the Evil God, was somewhat unexpected.

"This external soul bone seems to be able to connect with the energy of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's pill." Xu Zihuang nodded, then sensed it for a moment before retracting the Evil God Wings into his body.

"However, these all require time to try."

Ye Guyi didn't say anything more, but she and Xu Zihuang looked up at the sacred unicorn at the same time.

The external soul bone of the supreme evil attribute, the Wings of the Evil God, does indeed resemble the abilities of an evil soul master, but that depends on who the user is. Given Xu Zihuang's temperament, it's unlikely he would be affected by it.

Just like Xu Zihuang's sixth soul skill, Soul Touch, which is the Golden Eye Martial Soul, this soul skill can devour the soul power of living beings to nourish itself, but Xu Zihuang has never used it.

Power itself is neither good nor evil.

Their more important task right now is to negotiate with that sacred unicorn.

The sacred unicorn was also observing Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, and said meaningfully, "I think this should be our second meeting."

Chapter 460 The Contract and the Devastated Xu Jiujiu

"Second meeting?" Ye Guyi was slightly taken aback, while Xu Zihuang's gaze towards the sacred unicorn deepened.

"Then the first time we met must have been a very long time ago."

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, the sacred unicorn's eyes lit up, and it nodded slightly.

"That was ten thousand years ago. I wasn't the only one you met; there was also the second-generation Angel God from the Spirit Hall whose divine position was shattered."

At this point, the Holy Unicorn's gentle gaze fell on Ye Guyi, who was standing next to Xu Zihuang.

"Since you are her descendant, you must have heard about her."

"The Angel Goddess Qian Renxue," Ye Guyi murmured unconsciously.

"Is that rumor true? Did you really follow the first Angel God?"

“Not bad.” The Holy Unicorn’s eyes were filled with nostalgia and gratitude.

"Back then, she saved me when I was critically injured. Later, I followed her and traveled throughout the Douluo Continent, purifying the soul beasts with evil bloodlines, until she gathered the power of faith of all living beings on the continent and became the Angel God. She originally wanted to take me with her to the God Realm, but unfortunately, the rules of the God Realm did not allow it."

“In that case, I’ll get straight to the point,” Xu Zihuang said seriously.

"Your abilities are a perfect match for Sister Lingyi's martial spirit. If you wish, you can also form a contract with her and become her soul spirit, just like that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. I possess a divine imprint and am confident that I can become a god in the future. At that time, you will be able to ascend to the divine realm with us and gain eternal life. Of course, we will not force you to form a master-servant contract, but rather it will be an equal contract based on mutual consent."

“I am very familiar with this kind of contract, because it is the ability of the plane I was born into.” The Holy Unicorn shook its head.

“I am willing to make a pact with her and become her spirit. But I have a question.”

"Please speak." Considering her ancestral origins, Ye Guyi showed due respect to the sacred unicorn. However, at this moment, she already had some guesses in her heart.

If what the sacred unicorn said is true, then Eel should come from the same plane as it.

Sure enough, the problems with the sacred unicorn were related to these issues.

"Where did you get your method of forming contracts with soul beasts?"

"It was taught to us by one of my teachers. He came from another plane outside of Douluo Continent, and his name was Electrolux," Ye Guyi answered truthfully.

The Holy Unicorn's pupils contracted sharply, and it took it a long time to calm itself down before it said firmly, "I'm ready. Please begin."

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi exchanged a glance; they had never expected things to go so smoothly.

“Then I will complete the contract for you.” Xu Zihuang solemnly approached Ye Guyi and the Holy Unicorn.

The sacred unicorn even allowed Ye Guyi to touch the horn on its forehead. A layer of holy golden-white light emanated from both Ye Guyi and the sacred unicorn.

Ye Guyi clearly felt that the unicorn horn was like a bridge for communication between their minds, allowing them to connect with each other.

Xu Zihuang's incantation rang out almost simultaneously, and with the low chanting, the fusion of souls officially began.

Ye Guyi trusted Xu Zihuang completely, leaving her mind entirely at ease. The same was true for the Sacred Unicorn. Its choice to form a contract with Ye Guyi was not only due to the allure of immortality, but also, and perhaps more so, to its own subjective will.

From Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, it saw the hope of returning to its homeland.

Rings of golden light emanated from the six-pointed star magic circle, and the gentle fluctuations of light element enveloped Ye Guyi and the Holy Unicorn.

The perfect match in attributes made the fusion of Ye Guyi and the Holy Unicorn exceptionally smooth. The entire process was effortless and natural.

Before long, Ye Guyi's spiritual power began to connect with the Holy Unicorn. The Holy Unicorn's physical form became increasingly ethereal, but its eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the horn on its forehead emitted a dazzling light.

Ye Guyi shone like a golden sun, illuminating the space as if it were daytime, making it impossible to look directly at her. Intense soul power surged from her delicate body, instantly breaking through the level 80 bottleneck, and her soul power level continued to rise.

The medicinal effects of the Primordial Immortal Herb and the Heartbreak Red were truly unleashed at this moment, along with the enhancement brought about by the condensation of the Soul Core.

The golden-white soul core vortex on Ye Guyi's chest spun on its own, giving her fair skin a translucent quality. A blood-red soul ring with three golden lines slowly rose from beneath her feet, settling at the position of her eighth soul ring.

Two yellow, two purple, two black, and two red. Eight spirit rings pulsed slowly around Ye Guyi, marking her official breakthrough to the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo. And she was only twenty-two years old.

The sacred unicorn's body became transparent and vanished. Only a strange, crystal-like, golden-white bone remained suspended in its original position.
