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

"However, this is the true soul skill that the Wings of the Evil God bestowed upon me: Demonic Transformation. This is a soul skill that amplifies all attributes, even more powerful than Berserk."

Actually, using the Demon Transformation technique has a side effect: it causes people to lose their minds. However, Xu Zihuang's mental strength is strong enough to offset this negative effect.

What's most remarkable is that the external soul bone, the Wings of the Evil God, can also amplify the power of the two soul skills granted to him by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

When the same soul beast produces soul rings and soul bones, and these are absorbed by the same person, the effect is maximized. Xu Zihuang is undoubtedly in this situation. Moreover, because the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger voluntarily fused with him, the compatibility was extremely high, resulting in this superimposed amplification effect.

"With the amplification from the Demon Transformation, once I break through to the eighth-ring Soul Douluo realm, I'm confident I can defeat any Super Douluo below level ninety-eight head-on." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly, but the firmness and confidence in his tone were truly moving.

He, who once couldn't even control his own destiny, has now grown to a level that amazes anyone.

Even Ye Guyi, who knew him best, was no exception.

Chapter 462 A Brief Peace and a Prolonged Plea for Help

Both Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi gained a great deal from their trip to the Lingbei Grassland.

With their cultivation and overall strength improving once again, the two have far surpassed their peers. Possessing soul cores, they will undoubtedly be able to reach the bottleneck of Title Douluo in a short time and truly step into the ranks of top-tier powerhouses.

Xu Zihuang once thought he could support He Caitou's growth and take revenge on Xu Tianran together. But as it turned out, He Caitou was simply unable to keep up with him. Even if he could provide assistance in the future, it would be quite limited.

Considering He Caitou's deep affection for Shrek Academy and Fanyu, Xu Zihuang decided not to involve him in his plans. After all, his goals differed from He Caitou's; besides revenge, he also harbored the grand ambition of unifying the continent.

Sooner or later, he will stand on the opposite side of Shrek Academy and confront them head-on. Given their respective positions, this is unavoidable.

Not only He Caitou, but even Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, the duo once known as the twin stars of the outer academy, have seen their cultivation speed slow down considerably as they approach the Soul Saint level. In Xu Zihuang's memories of his previous life, they were able to break through to the Title Douluo realm in their early twenties with the help of the Qiankun Creation Pill, which was refined from the essence of various immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

But Xu Zihuang certainly has no need to do that now. Relationships have varying degrees of closeness and distance, and compared to Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, he naturally prefers to give the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to his own people. For example, his direct subordinates, the former members of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group. Later, when he rises in power, he can also use them to win over high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Empire like the Red Dust Family.

His only concern was to present the nearly 100,000-year-old Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Elder Xuan at the right time, so that Elder Xuan could break through to the Limit Douluo level.

The original Douluo Continent still lacked some top-tier combat power. The Sun Moon Empire, on the other hand, had three Limit Douluo-level combatants: Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Kong Deming. Although Long Xiaoyao might not directly participate in the war between the two sides, Ye Xishui and Kong Deming still posed significant threats.

At least one true Limit Douluo powerhouse must be present on the original Douluo side in order to maintain a balance of power and allow this war to continue for a long time.

Xu Zihuang needs time now. Once he breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, he will have absolute confidence in suppressing all beings below the God level. In that case, having Xuan Lao, a Limit Douluo, as an opponent will not be a big deal.

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Xu Zihuang unleashed his dragon wings and sped towards the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As he added two more spirit rings to his second spirit, the fusion of the two bloodline powers within the Purple Thunder Dragon spirit became increasingly perfect. The most noticeable change was that the dragon scales and wings he displayed when activating spirit possession had completely transformed into a deep black. Without him needing to consciously fuse them, the annihilation attribute would spontaneously arise.

Like the wings of an evil god, an energy entity, attached to the bony dragon's wings, causing eerie and sinister demonic patterns to appear on their surface. Cyan-purple wind and lightning power swirled around them, the lightning twisted, and the wind howled.

Xu Zihuang's current flight speed is comparable to that of a Title Douluo of the Agility-type. If he were in his Demon Transformation state, his speed would probably not be much inferior to that of Elder Song when he used his Martial Soul True Body.

Of course, this is in the context of long journeys. In terms of burst speed alone, he is superior when using the Source of Lightning to transform into a lightning elemental body.

This is the terrifying foundation that Xu Zihuang now possesses.

Ye Guyi leaned against Xu Zihuang's chest as he carried her. One hand rested on Xu Zihuang's shoulder, her slightly curled-up body outlining an alluring curve.

A slight smile curved Ye Guyi's lips as she rested her head against Xu Zihuang's chest. Having finally managed to be alone with Xu Zihuang, she naturally wanted to cherish every moment.

With the amplification of the Wings of the Evil God, Xu Zihuang only spent less than an hour returning from the Lingbei Grassland to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. When he used the power of his Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body to bring Ye Guyi to the courtyard, as expected, Ning Tian was sitting quietly on a stone chair in the pavilion, lightly covered with a blanket.

"Tianhuang, Sister Guyi!" Sensing something, Ning Tian saw Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi appear and immediately stood up in surprise, a gentle smile appearing on her pretty face. The snow-white apricot blossoms between her hair and dress lost their support and drifted down again.

Although Xu Zihuang still kept his arms around Ye Guyi, Ning Tian didn't seem to care and took the initiative to come forward.

It's perfectly reasonable for siblings to be a little more intimate with each other.

Ye Guyi quickly helped Ning Tian up, smiling as she reminded him, "Be careful, you're pregnant now."

She seemed to be in a very good mood after getting enough from Xu Zihuang.

"Mmm." Ning Tian smiled sweetly at Ye Guyi with a slightly flushed face, then looked at Xu Zihuang behind her, her beautiful blue eyes filled with tenderness.

Xu Zihuang stepped forward and took Ning Tian's other hand, speaking gently.

"Didn't we say before we left that we would come back safely? You should get some rest."

Feeling the care and concern that Yu Tianhuang and Ye Guyi showed him, Ning Tian's smile became sweeter.

"Although my cultivation level can't compare to yours, Tianhuang, or Sister Guyi, I am still a Soul Emperor. I'm not that delicate. Besides, I heard from the married sisters in the sect that pregnant women need to exercise appropriately, as it's good for the fetus's development."

"Sister Gu Yi, judging from your appearance, you must have successfully formed a contract with that sacred unicorn, right?" Ning Tian keenly noticed the change in Ye Gu Yi's demeanor. Even as a fellow girl, she could see that Ye Gu Yi was more radiant and captivating than ever before. The elegance in her eyes filled Ning Tian with envy.

Although she is more mature than her peers due to her upbringing, she is still only eighteen years old. She still retains some of the naiveté of a young girl.

Ye Guyi nodded with her smile unchanged, but during this time, she glanced at Xu Zihuang from a subtle angle, a half-smile on her face.

“Ning Tian, ​​last time you mentioned there’s a natural hot spring on the back mountain of your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. We’re a bit tired from traveling all night, let’s go soak in it and relax.”

“Okay.” Ning Tian, ​​completely oblivious to the subtle exchange of glances between Ye Guyi and Xu Zihuang, replied with a charming smile.

"I'll have someone prepare in advance."

Xu Zihuang's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

He carried Ye Guyi the whole way, so how could he be tired?

However, he believed that Ye Guyi would not do anything too outrageous within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The environment behind the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is extremely tranquil. Surrounded by mountains, there is a wooden courtyard pavilion. And the natural hot spring is located in the center of the courtyard.

Xu Zihuang sat in the room, savoring the exquisite dishes that Ning Tian had meticulously prepared. Through the wooden sliding door beside him, he could see Ye Guyi and Ning Tian frolicking in the hot spring. Their clear, bell-like laughter filled the air.

Steam rose from the hot spring, revealing glimpses of the two women's delicate, fair skin.

"Tianhuang, bring us our bathrobes." Ye Guyi suddenly looked towards Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang reluctantly handed over two sets of white bathrobes, neatly folded on the wooden floor.

Not long ago, at Ye Guyi's insistence, he also participated. Although they weren't completely naked, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable. Even though he had been intimate with both women privately, the situation was entirely different when facing them simultaneously. In the end, he had no choice but to change into a bathrobe early and leave first.

Not long after, Ye Guyi and Ning Tian, ​​dressed in their bathrobes, walked hand in hand behind Xu Zihuang. Both women had a charming blush on their beautiful faces.

The loose bathrobe covered Ning Tian's slightly protruding belly as he leaned back lazily next to Xu Zihuang.

"Come closer." Xu Zihuang gently let Ning Tian lean against his chest, using his soul power to dry his slightly damp hair.

Seeing this, Ye Guyi, sitting opposite, reached out her right hand to support her chin and pouted slightly, looking a little jealous.

"And me?"

Xu Zihuang naturally couldn't show favoritism, so he reluctantly got up and went behind Ye Guyi, repeating the same action. Ye Guyi's hair was much longer than Ning Tian's, but the time it took to dry it with soul power was about the same.

Ning Tian sat cross-legged, smiled, and didn't seem to think anything of it.

"Sister Gu Yi, have you two always been this close since you were little?"

"Of course," Ye Guyi said with a soft laugh, "It's common for us to sleep together."

Ning Tian couldn't understand the deeper meaning in Ye Guyi's words, but Xu Zihuang's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, let's eat first."

As he spoke, Xu Zihuang, who had just dried Ye Guyi's hair, returned to his seat next to Ning Tian.

Ye Guyi and Xu Zihuang exchanged a glance but didn't say anything more.

In a harmonious atmosphere, the night passed by. Xu Zihuang, Ye Guyi, and Ning Tian stayed in this courtyard that night.

However, this peace was shattered the following morning.

Xu Zihuang received two letters: one from Elder Xuan of Shrek Academy and the other from Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Jiujiu's letter mainly stated that the Star Luo Empire had suffered heavy losses in its counterattack against the Mingdou Mountains and hoped to obtain his assistance. However, he did not provide specific details about the war, seemingly deliberately concealing something. At the same time, he promised him substantial benefits and made some veiled and ambiguous hints.

The contents of Elder Xuan's letter were very concise, consisting of only one sentence: he was to make his own decision, and the academy would respect all his ideas.

Xu Zihuang put down the letter that Elder Xuan had given him and looked at Ye Guyi and Ning Tian across the table. Ye Guyi and Ning Tian were examining the handwritten letter that had been sitting there for a long time.

Compared to Elder Xuan's handwritten letter, they were clearly more concerned about the one from Xu Jiujiu.

Upon seeing the contents of the letter, both Ye Guyi and Ning Tian's expressions changed. It was one thing for Xu Jiujiu, as a princess of the Star Luo Empire, to give Yu Tianhuang those ambiguous hints, but from the tone of her writing, they vaguely sensed that the situation in the Mingdou Mountains might be far more serious than Xu Jiujiu described.

Xu Jiujiu clearly had malicious intentions; from a darker perspective, he might even be plotting against Yu Tianhuang.

"Tianhuang, what are you planning to do?" Ye Guyi asked coldly as she tossed the long-lost letter onto the table, her tone dripping with mockery.

"I think you can also see some of the princess's little schemes. She's really playing a clever game."

"In short, let's go back to the academy and see Elder Xuan first," Xu Zihuang said calmly.

"With the outbreak of war, none of the three great empires of the Douluo Continent can remain uninvolved. This has nothing to do with Princess Xu Jiujiu. If supporting the Star Luo Empire can slow down the Sun Moon Empire's invasion, and it's within my capabilities, there's no need to refuse. Besides, she only asked me to use my Golden Eye Martial Soul ability to help the Star Luo Empire scout out the situation in the Mingdou Mountains. Of course, I will decide based on the specific circumstances, and I certainly won't put myself in danger."

Ye Guyi's gaze was firm.

"Then I'll go with you."

"it is good."

Xu Zihuang nodded slightly, then he and Ye Guyi looked at Ning Tian, ​​who was silent, and asked with concern.

"what happened?"

Ning Tian hesitated for a moment, then gently bit his silver teeth.

"Tianhuang, out of personal reasons, I naturally want you to stay by my side, but I also know you have your own thoughts. If you are going, I hope that you and Sister Guyi will prioritize your own safety in everything you do."

"I promise you," Xu Zihuang replied solemnly.

"Don't worry. You know our strength. If we want to leave, no one can stop us."

A smile bloomed on Ning Tian's beautiful face, and then she took Xu Zihuang's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.

"Your child and I are here waiting for you. Come back safely."

Ye Guyi also took Xu Zihuang's other hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, imitating Ning Tian's gaze as she looked at Xu Zihuang, her eyes filled with tender affection as she spoke.

"Your child and I are here waiting for you. Come back safely."

"Sister Gu Yi—" Ning Tian said coquettishly, her face flushed, her cheeks like cherry blossoms. From her perspective, she simply took it as Ye Gu Yi teasing her.

However, Xu Zihuang on the other side felt a slight tremor in his heart, his gaze falling on Ye Guyi's flat abdomen. Last night on the Lingbei Grassland, he had complied with Ye Guyi's request and hadn't taken any precautions.

He knew it couldn't be that fast; what he did just now was purely instinctive.

Ye Guyi smiled and pulled Ning Tian into her arms. Noticing Xu Zihuang's reaction, a hint of a smile appeared deep in her eyes.

"Tianhuang, what are you thinking?! You don't actually have such thoughts, do you?"

Xu Zihuang rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly speechless, while Ning Tian, ​​like Ye Guyi, wore a smile.

But Ning Tian didn't expect that the future Ye Guyi spoke of would actually become a reality.
