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

The sternum, ribs, vertebrae, and other bones were interconnected, with a golden halo flowing inside, resting on a dense vortex of soul power. Then, in a flash, it merged into Ye Guyi's body.

The sacred unicorn gave Ye Guyi the most precious torso soul bone among the six common soul bones.

Ye Guyi shone with golden light, and Xu Zihuang, standing quietly to the side, personally sensed that Ye Guyi's soul power cultivation had risen to level eighty-four, nearly level eighty-five. This was the foundation of a ferocious beast with three hundred thousand years of cultivation. Even in his soul spirit form, his soul rings and soul bones could bring such a huge boost to Ye Guyi.

Even the quality of Ye Guyi's Sacred Angel Martial Soul was subtly improved during the fusion with the Sacred Unicorn.

Although Ye Guyi's Sacred Angel Martial Soul grew three pairs of wings when she broke through to the Soul Saint realm, this does not mean that the quality of her Martial Soul truly reached the same level as the legendary God-level Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel.

However, this fusion with the Holy Unicorn has brought about just such an opportunity. It's just that this process will inevitably take some time.

Thinking of this, Xu Zihuang silently stayed by Ye Guyi's side, while simultaneously comprehending the abilities of the external soul bone, the Wings of the Evil God. This external soul bone was taken from the super soul beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the abilities it granted him were definitely no weaker than those of an ordinary 100,000-year soul bone.

As the moon sets and the sun rises, time slips away quietly.

……

The Mingdou Mountains, on the northwestern frontier of the Star Luo Empire.

Vast expanses of light flashed here. Countless soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannon beams crisscrossed and raged, stirring up massive energy storms in the sky.

This was clearly a battle between thousands of Soul Masters and Soul Instructors. Such a magnificent scene could be described as a confrontation and contest between the highest-level armies on the continent.

In addition to the nine Title Douluos who followed Xu Jiujiu to rescue Duke White Tiger, the other eight Soul Master Legions of the Star Luo Empire also arrived at the front line, which immediately relieved the pressure on the front line.

It's important to understand that eight Soul Master legions comprise a total of eight thousand Soul Masters. If used properly, this force could completely determine the outcome of a war.

Although the Sun Moon Empire sealed off its borders with high-altitude detection soul tools, the Star Luo Empire's Shattered Star Douluo still managed to uncover some information by using his unique spatial attribute martial soul.

That is, the Sun Moon Empire did not station a large army on the border at all, but simply occupied the Mingdou Mountain Range and turned it into their defensive position.

Based on his keen intuition, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger immediately made a judgment.

The Sun Moon Empire's primary target is not the Star Luo Empire, but the Heavenly Soul Empire. And this is highly likely. Otherwise, why would the Sun Moon Empire retreat to the Mingdou Mountains when it held a clear advantage?

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger clan originally planned to dispatch powerful warriors to destroy the Sun Moon Empire's air blockade at all costs, and then launch a surprise attack on the Mingdou Mountains. Only by breaking through the defenses and reclaiming the Mingdou Mountains, which would directly threaten the heartland of the Sun Moon Empire, could the crisis that the Heavenly Soul Empire might face be naturally resolved.

However, Princess Xu Jiujiu, who was going to the battlefield for the first time, was somewhat flustered when she heard this news. She knew that if the Heavenly Soul Empire fell, it would be an irreversible and enormous crisis for their Star Luo Empire. Therefore, as the commander of the eight great Soul Master legions, she resolutely ignored the advice of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger and issued the order for a counterattack.

As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, she commanded the Soul Master Legion to fight, a command that even Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Empire could not disobey. Dai Hao was indeed a powerful minister second only to the emperor in the Star Luo Empire, but this very status also limited him.

At this moment, the Mingdou Mountain Range resembled a giant hedgehog, with at least three thousand firing points constantly spewing out artillery fire.

The main weapon is the Soul-Guided Cannon, supplemented by the Soul-Guided Ray.

Soul-guided rays are more accurate than soul-guided cannons, easier to adjust their attack angle, and have greater penetrating power. However, they cannot match the attack range of soul-guided cannons. Both have their advantages and complement each other.

At long range, the Soul Guidance Cannon provides artillery coverage and bombardment, while once a Soul Master breaks through to within a certain distance, a large number of Soul Guidance Rays sweep across the area.

The Sun Moon Empire has constructed a formidable soul-guided defense network in the Mingdou Mountains, while the Star Luo Empire has also made corresponding deployments.

The Star Luo Empire mobilized a total of five thousand Soul Masters and five Soul Master armies. However, only five hundred of them participated in the attack, but all five hundred were Soul Saint level or higher powerhouses.

Five hundred Soul Saints—what an astonishingly high-end combat force this is!

Once a Soul Saint's cultivation level is reached, the advantages of traditional Soul Masters become apparent. Only exceptionally powerful Soul Tools, or concentrated attacks from linked Soul Tools, can possibly harm them.

These five hundred elite soul masters are the source of Xu Jiujiu's confidence.

The Soul Saints on the Star Luo Empire's side were merely launching probing attacks, continuously depleting the Sun Moon Empire's resources while waiting for an opportunity.

The sustained combat ability of a Soul Saint-level expert is far superior to that of the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire. Each Soul Saint of the Star Luo Empire has reached this level through decades of arduous training, while the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire mostly rely on drugs to forcibly enhance their cultivation, resulting in an unstable foundation.

If this continues, the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire will eventually run out of manpower. Moreover, these Soul Saints will occasionally seize opportunities to attack the high-altitude detection Soul Tools in the sky. High-altitude detection Soul Tools are extremely expensive, and destroying one will cause the Sun Moon Empire considerable financial pain, while also reducing its advantage in vision.

Everything seemed to be going as Xu Jiujiu had predicted; the soul-guided cannons and soul-guided rays spewing from the direction of the Mingdou Mountains gradually weakened. Meanwhile, the Star Luo Empire naturally noticed the weakening of the Sun Moon Empire's defensive forces and began to advance step by step.

On the Sun Moon Empire's side, the interception fire from soul-guided cannons and soul-guided rays suddenly became stronger, forcing the Star Luo Empire's high-level soul masters to retreat. However, after this enhancement, they seemed to have reached their limit, and their firepower was weakened again.

The Star Luo Empire has once again gained a clear advantage.

Xu Jiujiu, protected by several Title Douluos, was overjoyed to see this scene. They still had thousands of Soul Masters who hadn't yet joined the battle. Once the high-level Soul Masters gained an overwhelming advantage, a full charge by all the Soul Masters would be highly likely to break through the Mingdou Mountain range's defenses.

After all, the treacherous terrain of the Mingdou Mountains is nothing to a Soul Master.

But in the next instant, an indescribable sense of fear suddenly spread throughout Xu Jiujiu's body. Even the several titled Douluo powerhouses beside him were no exception, their expressions changing drastically.

A beam of white light shot out from the highest peak of the Mingdou Mountains without warning. This beam of white light, as thick as a water vat, did not appear to have any magnificent aura, but when its pale color appeared in the air, it had already transformed into a beam of light that was thousands of meters long and swept out horizontally.

Space seemed to freeze, sliced ​​apart by the white light. This light swept across the formation of the Star Luo Empire's high-level Soul Masters. Wherever it passed, all life vanished into nothingness. In that instant, over two hundred Soul Saints were wiped out forever by this white light.

Not only that, but the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons erupted like a geyser, their firepower even more ferocious than before, relentlessly striking the Star Luo Empire's high-level soul masters who were completely stunned and trembling with fear. In an instant, the powerful legion composed of five hundred soul saints was almost instantly routed and fled in disarray.

After a long while, as if all her strength had been drained, her face turned deathly pale, all traces of her previous confident and triumphant demeanor gone. A few strands of soft, golden hair fell messily across her cheeks as she murmured to herself absentmindedly.

"It's over, it's all over."

It was entirely because of her decision that her Star Luo Empire's high-level Soul Masters fell into the Sun Moon Empire's trap. That was over two hundred Soul Saints; such a heavy loss nearly broke her mental defenses.

It was only thanks to Nebula Douluo Manyi who caught her in time that she was prevented from revealing an even more unbearable side.

The other titled Douluos also looked extremely grim, and the way they looked at Xu Jiujiu had changed from before.

Having experienced all sorts of grand occasions, Princess Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She knew that the most urgent task was to stabilize the situation. Compared to the national interest, what did her dignity as a princess matter?

This turn of events wasn't entirely bad; at least Xu Jiujiu recognized her own shortcomings. She has decided to hand over full command of the eight Soul Master legions to Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan.

Nebula Douluo Manyi remained calm and reminded Xu Jiujiu in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, we might as well ask Shrek Academy for help. If Yu Tianhuang were here, his innate ability could be used to detect the soul tool that emitted that white light. We can't avoid breaking through the Mingdou Mountain range's defenses. Moreover, Yu Tianhuang's status at Shrek Academy is special, so this could also..."

Nebula Douluo didn't finish his story, but how could Xu Jiujiu not know what he was thinking?

“Grandma Manyi, you’re right. I’ll write to Tianhuang myself right away and ask for help. Our Star Luo Empire’s counterattack on the Mingdou Mountains was originally intended to relieve the pressure on the Tianhun Empire, so I believe he won’t refuse.”

Nebula Douluo sighed softly.

"You're just too competitive. As a girl, you don't necessarily have to prove your abilities this way."

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener. In Nebula Douluo's blind spot, Xu Jiujiu's gaze gradually became firm and intense.

Chapter 461 The Power of Wind and Thunder and the Demonic Transformation

The fusion of Leafbone Robe and the Holy Unicorn continued until dusk the following day.

The boundless Lingbei Grassland was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, turning it into a rose-gold color. The lush blue-silver grass swayed in the wind, creating a tranquil and peaceful scene.

Bathed in the gentle warmth of the setting sun, Ye Guyi suppressed her aura and slowly opened her noble, aloof golden eyes. Seeing Xu Zihuang guarding her side, she finally smiled.

That captivating smile seemed to make the entire world pale in comparison.

Three pairs of holy angel wings fluttered, and Ye Guyi rushed into Xu Zihuang's arms. Their eyes met, their brows touched, and the deep affection in their eyes seemed to merge Xu Zihuang into her entire being.

"Congratulations, Sister Lingyi." Xu Zihuang smiled slightly, naturally placing his hands on Ye Guyi's slender waist. Unlike Ning Tian, ​​who was a support-type Soul Master, Ye Guyi's body was more resilient. After being modified by the King of Immortal Herbs, the Acacia Heartbreak Red, her physical attributes also exceeded the normal range.

At least when facing Xu Zihuang, he won't be at a significant disadvantage.

Ye Guyi smiled and reached out her jade-like hand to gently stroke Xu Zihuang's cheek, her tone carrying a hint of command.

"I'll go back later tonight."

"Okay." Feeling the burning intensity in Ye Guyi's gaze, Xu Zihuang understood.

In the next instant, a sweet and warm sensation came from between his lips, and Ye Guyi's flawless face suddenly magnified in his eyes.

During this time, Ye Guyi did not withdraw her martial soul, but instead used the three pairs of angel wings behind her to wrap her body, transforming it into a golden-white cocoon that floated in the air.

The cocoon of light drifted erratically, from dusk until nightfall. But in this desolate Lingbei Grassland, no one else noticed its existence. Of course, no one could glimpse the scene inside the cocoon.

Night has fallen, and the sky over the Lingbei Grassland is just as beautiful as it was last night, with a bright moon and few stars, and the silver moon hanging high in the sky.

The cocoon of light bloomed like a flower, and pure white and golden feathers scattered and fell. Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi's figures appeared from within, and together they flew towards the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ye Guyi's face still held a hint of lingering charm as she gracefully tidied her appearance.

Xu Zihuang glanced at Ye Guyi with a strange expression, but he also enjoyed the novel experience he had just had. Moreover, engaging in intimate behavior with Ye Guyi outside the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also helped him alleviate some of his guilt towards Ning Tian.

Ye Guyi quickly regained her usual dignified demeanor and calmly said to Xu Zihuang, "Zihuang, after you reclaim the throne of the Sun Moon Empire and unify the continent in the future, leave the position of Empress to Ning Tian."

"Hmm?" Xu Zihuang's face immediately showed surprise. In his understanding of Ye Guyi, she was definitely not the kind of person who would willingly back down, especially since this matter was related to him.

Ye Guyi seemed to have seen through Xu Zihuang's thoughts, and a smile reappeared on her pretty face.

“During the fusion with the Holy Unicorn, I saw its memories. We did indeed meet it ten thousand years ago. If my guess is correct, in the near future, you, who have achieved godhood, will take me across time and space to ten thousand years ago to find the Holy Unicorn and that second-generation Angel God, Qian Renxue. I think you did this to help me obtain the inheritance of the Angel God.”

"Ning Tian is more suited to sit in that position than I am. This can be considered compensation for her."

"As long as you don't regret it later, that's fine." Xu Zihuang shook his head with a wry smile.

Ye Guyi suddenly gazed at Xu Zihuang with a deep and unfathomable look in her eyes.

"What's the use of regretting it? It's my own fault for being so useless."

Xu Zihuang's lips twitched slightly; he naturally knew what Ye Guyi was referring to. Learning that Ning Tian was pregnant right after finishing his secluded cultivation was not something easily accepted.

However, Ye Guyi wasn't really angry; she was just teasing Xu Zihuang on purpose.

"Hurry back, Ning Tian and the baby in her belly are still waiting for you," Ye Guyi said sarcastically, her tone slightly bitter.

Perhaps this is an innate talent of girls, even someone with Ye Guyi's personality is no exception. Of course, this side of Ye Guyi is only shown to Xu Zihuang.

Seeing Xu Zihuang's speechless expression, Ye Guyi finally stopped with a smile and changed the subject.

"Alright, Zihuang, let's not talk about this anymore. Take this opportunity to test the abilities of your external soul bone. You should have gained some insights during this time."

"Hmm." When it came to serious matters, Xu Zihuang nodded solemnly, and the Wings of the Evil God quietly emerged from behind him.

"The Wings of the Evil God can indeed connect with the energy of the pill in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

As he spoke, a layer of bluish-purple light suddenly enveloped the wings of the evil god. Lightning flashed, and a fierce wind howled. Xu Zihuang's flying speed suddenly increased, and he almost disappeared from Ye Guyi's sight as a blur that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Ye Guyi was startled and subconsciously released her Sacred Angel Martial Soul, following Xu Zihuang at full speed. The Sacred Angel Martial Soul's flight speed is outstanding among all flying-type Martial Souls, and Ye Guyi is an eight-ring Soul Douluo, but the distance between her and Xu Zihuang is widening.

In the end, it was Xu Zihuang who stopped, allowing Ye Guyi to catch up.

Xu Zihuang turned to face Ye Guyi and explained, "The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's pill contains energy of six attributes. I just mobilized the wind and lightning attributes to imbue the Evil God Wings with wind and lightning power. Moreover, the Evil God Wings are between a physical body and an energy body, like armor that can change shape, and can be attached to the dragon wings of my second martial soul. Under these circumstances, in terms of flight speed alone, I should be able to surpass the vast majority of Title Douluos."

"As expected of the external soul bone bestowed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger," Ye Guyi exclaimed sincerely.

The edges of the evil god's wings behind Xu Zihuang kept changing shape, then suddenly stopped under his control, and a part of them completely merged into his body like flowing liquid.

On Xu Zihuang's body and face, hideous black demonic patterns simultaneously appeared. Centered on his body, the surrounding space was slightly distorted and dimmed. Much smaller black wings unfurled behind him. Compared to the original evil god's wings, these smaller black wings were more in proportion to his body and were a deeper color.

Xu Zihuang's aura suddenly surged, and a hint of blood-red light appeared in his deep purple eyes, giving him an extremely sinister and cold feeling.
