Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

One figure after another followed Zhao Xuanzhen down, and Gu Yue transformed into an elemental cannon, unleashing the seven elements upon the fish that had slipped through the net on the ice.

Yuan Enhui released the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, and the dark sky enveloped the sea spirit beasts, eroding their lives. Ye Xinglan charged straight forward on the ice, and the Star God Sword flashed, leaving a bloody killing line.

"Go together!"

Zhao Xuanzhen created a battle environment for the land-based soul masters. The Star Luo soul masters reacted and charged forward, shouting to stop the sea soul beasts from attacking the soul guide shield!

The golden-patterned blue silver grass, which was tens of meters long, was connected to the deck at one end. Tang Wulin rushed directly into the air, and the blue silver grass deflected the long-range attacks of the sea spirit beasts.

Four purple millennium spirit rings swirled and circled, and the fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up. Golden-patterned blue silver grasses swarmed out, like giant pythons shimmering with golden light, carrying terrifying power and overwhelming might, smashing the sea spirit beast's head to pieces.

The fourth soul skill of the Golden-Patterned Blue Silver Grass: Blue Silver Golden Dragon Transformation!

On either side of Tang Wulin, two spirits fought alongside him. The second spirit was particularly ferocious, its savage power easily shattering the hard bones of the sea spirit beast—it was the four-thousand-year-old golden dragon python!

Before setting off for the Star Luo Continent, Tang Wulin's soul power broke through to level 40. He formed a tower-climbing team and encountered the Golden Dragon Python.

With Tang Wulin's physical attributes and mental strength, he could have easily absorbed a soul spirit of a higher age, but he valued the golden dragon bloodline within it and resolutely chose to absorb the golden dragon python.

This era has the Spirit Ascension Platform, where the soul spirit's compatibility is higher than its age limit. Tang Wulin's first soul spirit, Jin Yu, was originally just a small grass snake, but it has now evolved into a thousand-year-old soul beast. The Golden Dragon Python will eventually transform into a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit.

The golden python, caught up in the thrill of the battle, suddenly spotted Zhao Xuanzhen in the distance. It quickly turned its head and fled in panic. It recalled the tragic events of the past and resolved to stay far away from this demon king!

With numerous Soul Masters joining the battle, the situation instantly turned around. The sea Soul Beasts suffered heavy casualties, and Soul Rings of various colors—white, yellow, purple, and black—fluttered and rose.

Ye Xinglan cleaved the thousand-year-old sea demon elephant in two with a single sword strike. The seemingly calm surface of the ice beneath his feet suddenly revealed a shadow. The connection between the upper and lower jaws stretched to its limit, exposing the barbed flesh deep within the throat. The enormous mouth ripped open dramatically to the torso!

"boom--"

The shadow broke through the ice, revealing a gigantic sea serpent, its scales adorned with nebula patterns, lurking in the deep water, patiently waiting for the opportune moment to deliver a fatal blow!

The Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King lunged at Ye Xinglan, its timing incredibly ruthless, precisely at the moment when Ye Xinglan's mind had slightly relaxed after killing the Sea Demon Elephant!

The gaping maw was large enough to swallow a small ship. Ye Xinglan's vision was completely occupied by the rapidly approaching abyssal maw, its barbed teeth like vicious scythes, gleaming with a deadly cold light under the scorching sun.

She only had time to pour the remaining soul power in her body into the Star God Sword, and the sword intent crisscrossed in front of her to form an instinctive defensive posture!

"boom--"

The explosion reverberated across the entire sea, interspersed with a thunderous heartbeat. Even the Soul Masters fighting on the ice hundreds of meters away suddenly felt a strange palpitation, their souls seemingly trembling.

Ye Xinglan stared blankly at the golden, dazzling back in front of her. A hint of surprise flashed in the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King's cold beast eyes. The killing blow that had been planned for a long time was actually blocked by the human who suddenly appeared!

The size of the spirit beast was completely disproportionate to that of a human, yet its gaping maw was absurdly blocked. The Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King's bite force was enough to tear apart the Star Luo Ship's steel behemoth; it was unimaginable that any spirit master could withstand such terrifying power and forcefully open that ferocious maw!

"Human, die!"

Speaking in human language, the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

The ferocity of the soul beast was fully unleashed, and the dazzling star patterns flowing on the body of the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King became extremely violent, like hundreds of uncontrolled golden serpents wildly darting across the surface of its scales.

The Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King is a rare and exotic soul beast, similar to a human soul master with astrological attributes, which absorbs the power of the stars at night to cultivate and grow.

It originally lurked at the bottom of the sea, intending to avoid the Title Douluo and directly overturn the Star Luo giant ship. However, during the operation, it sensed Ye Xinglan's extraordinary nature. She seemed to have an extremely pure star core in her body. As long as it swallowed her, breaking through the 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation would no longer be a dream!

However, the sure-fire sneak attack failed. Zhao Xuanzhen appeared in front of Ye Xinglan almost instantly, ruining its plans. The Star Pattern Sea Serpent King immediately went into a state of rage, and the star power stored in the patterns on its body erupted endlessly!

Facing the ferocious 100,000-year-old soul beast, Zhao Xuanzhen could not afford to hold back in the slightest. He unleashed all his enhanced soul skills at once, including the Two-Word Battle Armor, Golden Awakening, Tai Chi Domain, Saintly Evil Transformation, and the Dao of Limitlessness. The aura of his golden body soared, second only to the titled Douluo present!

Dark gold claws extended from the fingertips, pressing against the closed, blood-red maw. The bones in the body clenched loudly, and the tendons and bones beneath the flesh made continuous cracking sounds. The secret technique of the main body, Battle Bone, was activated simultaneously!

"The stars are in disarray."

Zhao Xuanzhen's pair of bright golden eyes transformed into an endless starry sky. The celestial compass secretly turned, and the astrological attributes instantly became disordered. The Star Pattern Sea Serpent King was shocked by the backlash of its own star power, and its eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

The next second, a lotus flower bloomed in full glory!

The fifth soul skill, the Lotus of Chaos, took shape without the slightest hesitation or pause. Against the chaotic star power, it shot straight into the giant maw of the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King, where the Yin and Yang energies exploded deep within the softest part of the mouth and throat!

The extreme compression of Yin and Yang attributes, and the resulting chaotic destruction caused by their mutual annihilation and turbulence, was terrifying. The lotus bloomed beautifully, and the dark and pure white light expanded. The destructive black and white turbulence was like billions of sharp blades, raging wildly within the fragile body of the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King!

The tearing sound was mixed with the terrifying sound of flesh and blood carbonizing. A waterfall of scarlet blood exploded. Zhao Xuanzhen took the opportunity to grab Ye Xinglan and retreat. Meanwhile, the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King roared angrily and, disregarding the original plan to sink the Star Luo, took off with its blood-stained body to chase after Xuan Xing!

Bright yellow spheres appeared on the star pattern. At first, they were only the size of a pinhead, but they expanded in an instant. The core of the sphere was an incandescent white that was impossible to look at directly, radiating a dazzling bright yellow halo outward. Each rotation strengthened the power of the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King!

The star patterns on the enormous serpent's body shone with unprecedented brilliance, and countless streams of starlight were summoned, detaching from the surface of the scales and converging from all directions toward those star orbs!

Innate Soul Skill: Starlight!

"Wow—"

The seawater was violently pushed aside by a great force, forming towering walls of seawater thousands of feet high. A dark golden figure, towering into the sky, broke through the deep sea and stood majestically!

The original form of Douluo Muye!

Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast needs an experienced veteran to step in. Seeing that Zhao Xuanzhen was in danger, Mu Ye immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body and enhanced it with his Four-Word Battle Armor. A dark gold hand, as large as an ancient mountain, descended, ignoring the churning waves and magnificent starlight, and went straight for the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King!

The Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King's roar turned into a shrill, distorted scream!

The dark gold palm sank deep into the thick scales of the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King, its knuckles shattering the scales harder than refined steel. With a burst of immense force, the heavy serpent body, stretching for hundreds of meters, was simply swung up and pulled from the rolling waves, like a loach being lifted from a pond!

"Sister Xinglan!"

Xu Lizhi rushed over, panting, his hands on his knees, tears welling in his eyes. The moment the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King attacked Ye Xinglan, his mind went blank, revealing the tragic fate of a food-type Soul Master.

"Xuanzhen, are you alright?!"

Ye Xinglan ignored Xu Lizhi and looked anxiously at Zhao Xuanzhen. The Tai Chi two-word battle armor was covered with cracks, and the aloofness of the sword-wielding girl was gone.

"My clothes are a little dirty, but it will take a day to repair my battle armor."

Removing the two-word battle armor that was nearing its limit, revealing his perfectly intact golden body, Zhao Xuanzhen joked.

"……Thanks."

Ye Xinglan bit her red lips, her eyes filled with deep emotion. The hero saving the beauty was a very old-fashioned plot, but it was still very effective!

Especially for girls who already have feelings for each other, seeing their beloved shield them at the critical moment, that reassuring figure instantly pierces their hearts, making them wish they could marry him that very night!

"Click, click..."

The sound of Xu Lizhi's heart breaking!

Watching Ye Xinglan reveal her girlish tenderness, the chubby boy felt a pang of heartache, his obese body swaying unsteadily.

As they grew older, Ye Xinglan fell deeper and deeper in love with Zhao Xuanzhen. The way she looked at her beloved was incredibly glaring. Xu Lizhi could no longer deceive himself; his goddess would eventually find happiness in someone else's arms.

"Xuanzhen/Boss!"

Gu Yue and Yuan En Ye Hui rushed over, but the former was too busy punishing the sea spirit beast for the Dragon God, while the latter had temporarily forgotten to protect her beloved boss. They were both a step too late.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Zhao Xuanzhen waved his hand, his gaze turning to the battlefield between the Douluo Mu Ye in his true form and the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King.

Although there was an intention to deliberately test Zhao Xuanzhen's limits, the fact remained that the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King had nearly damaged the foundation of the sect's revival. Mu Ye unleashed a violent shower of dark golden meteors, his fists slamming into the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King's massive head, its resilient back, and its relatively soft abdomen... producing a terrifying roar that shook the entire sea!

Scales shattered and flew off, blood gushed out like a river bursting its banks from countless gruesome wounds, accompanied by incoherent screams. Under the relentless barrage of heavy punches, the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King convulsed and twisted, its bones breaking inch by inch!

The 100,000-year-old soul beast that once stirred up the sea and absorbed the power of the stars is now like a small snake writhing in vain in the hands of the dark gold giant that opened up the sky and sea. In the end, it drooped its head helplessly, seriously injured and unconscious.

On another battlefield, a vast energy surge swept across the sky. Crimson-armored dragons clad in three-word battle armor shook the heavens, eight crimson dragon-shaped streams of energy shot out, and a thick octopus tentacle descended from the sky, crashing into the sea and creating towering waves.

The Dark Demon Octopus King staggered back in pain, its tentacles regenerating from the water elemental. Seeing that the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King, on whom it had placed such high hopes, had been captured by Mu Ye, it roared in fury, its eyes bloodshot:

"Humans, hand over the Serpent King!"

"The Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King has brought this upon himself. If you remain stubborn, I won't hesitate to send you all on your way."

Makino's deep, authoritative voice carried far and wide. The god-level mecha, Little Red, appeared, swiftly transforming into a blood-red longsword. The dark gold giant shrank to approximately ten meters tall, and the moment its right hand gripped the hilt, a terrifying blood-red rainbow shot forth!

Four-word battle armor + god-level mecha, the full power of Douluo Muye in his true form!

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King repelled their opponents, and the three soul beasts reunited, quickly communicating in the language of soul beasts.

"The Ice Dragon died tragically, and the Serpent King was captured alive by a human titled Douluo. These two were the Ice Emperor's valued clansmen and trusted subordinates. How are we going to explain this?"

"There's an old saying in the human world: fortunes change every thirty years. The Ice Emperor is gathering his strength to overcome his tribulation. Once he succeeds, he will surely lead us to avenge this blood feud. Let's retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the Dark Demon Octopus King realized that the Sea Soul Beast had been utterly defeated. After letting out a roar filled with resentment, its eight tentacles suddenly swung, spewing out thick black smoke that obscured all traces of its presence.

The thick black fog lingered for a long time before slowly dissipating. On the sea, the previously fearless sea spirit beasts sank rapidly into the water, disappearing without a trace like the receding tide, leaving only the corpses of the spirit beasts and spirit rings of various colors.

Makino hovered proudly in mid-air, tossed his right hand, and the giant blade transformed back into a god-level mecha. The sea fell silent again, and then cheers suddenly erupted from the Star Luo.

Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi regained his human form and looked at Mu Ye from afar. He recognized his original martial soul and Mu Ye's identity. The two titled Douluo powerhouses nodded in greeting.

The beast tide brought the Star Luo Ship a massive harvest. The carcasses of the sea spirit beasts alone were a considerable fortune, and the crew members were also using soul tools to collect the unclaimed soul rings dropped by the soul cannons. These soul rings could be absorbed by any soul master and would have no shortage of buyers on the Star Luo Continent.

The biggest spoil of this beast tide is naturally the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King. According to the ancient rules of the Soul Master world, this 100,000-year-old Soul Beast belongs exclusively to the original Douluo Mu Ye.

"Give it to you."

Mu Ye sealed the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King's soul power and calmly tossed it onto the deck of the Star Luo, making everyone who saw it tremble with fear.

"Senior, this is too precious."

"Why are you being so polite with me, the sect leader?" Mu Ye said, blowing his beard and glaring. "Even if you're included as an unofficial member, the Body Sect only has three people at most!"

"I'm a Title Douluo, I don't need to absorb spirit rings. And the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King's abilities aren't suitable for Aruheng. Just take it, kid!"

After a moment's thought, Zhao Xuanzhen said, "Senior Body, I want the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King. I will definitely return a 100,000-year-old soul beast to Body Sect in the future."

A 100,000-year-old soul beast can be disassembled into a 100,000-year-old soul spirit and a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Zhao Xuanzhen will not let Mu Ye suffer a loss, and he will take care of Aruheng's ninth soul ring.

As the old man and the young man conversed, Gu Yue silently approached the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King, releasing an indescribable power to awaken the heavily injured and unconscious 100,000-year-old soul beast, and earnestly asked:

"Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King, do you worship the Dragon God or the Sea God?"

"Nonsense!" the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King retorted defiantly, "The Dragon God is a thing of the past; the Sea God is the supreme deity!"

"...Don't stop me, I'm going to kill it."

One test resulted in a lifetime of corruption. The Elemental Staff was filled with black energy, and Gu Yue condensed an ice spike longer than the Star-Patterned Sea Serpent King's body. She wanted to stuff it into the mouth of this beastman traitor, stabbing it all the way from his throat to his skin!

"Calm down, Gu Yue, calm down!"

Yuan Enhui desperately hugged Gu Yue's waist. In this day and age, land-based spirit beasts are becoming increasingly rare, and sea-based spirit beasts are hidden in the deep sea and difficult to catch. Excellent employees must protect the boss's property!

Zhao Xuanzhen flew over, grasped Gu Yue's delicate hand as she wielded the Elemental Staff, and chuckled, "Don't be so wasteful. I'll send the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King to the Star Luo Continent Spirit Transmission Tower branch, turn it into a 100,000-year-old soul spirit, and then transmit it back to headquarters over a long distance. You can do whatever you want with it then."

"I'm sorry, I was a bit out of line just now."

Gu Yue cleared her throat. The reason she lost her temper was that the Star Pattern Sea Serpent King really deserved to be taught a lesson. The Dragon God could not be desecrated!

"The Star Luo Continent is controlled by the Netherflame Douluo Zhang Geyang. He is the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, on par with Aunt Leng, and a staunch supporter of the Qian Gu family," Gu Yue pointed out.

Zhang Geyang is a high-ranking official, whose status is almost on par with that of Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu. Gu Yue is worried that Zhang Geyang will resort to underhanded tactics.

"I will invite Senior Main Body to accompany me then," Zhao Xuanzhen said casually.

"I'll stay with you too."

This time, Gu Yue was much tougher. After all, the Beast God Di Tian had come to the Star Luo Continent with him. Now that the God Realm no longer existed, Di Tian firmly held the position of the number one local combat power on Douluo Star. If Zhang Geyang dared to make a move, he would die.

"it is good."

To be honest, Zhao Xuanzhen didn't think Zhang Geyang would dare to make a move. Before setting off for the Star Luo Continent, Qian Gu Dongfeng had tested Gu Yue several times. As the so-called young master of a hidden family, who knew how deep her family background really was? There was no guarantee that two or three Limit Douluo would jump out.

Gu Yue consistently avoided direct confrontation, and Qian Gu Dong Feng, having failed to obtain any useful information and knowing nothing about Gu Yue's guards, would not rashly order Youyan Douluo Zhang Geyang to resort to underhanded tactics.

……

The voyage was smooth sailing, and the Star Luo safely arrived on the Star Luo Continent. The group boarded a Soul Guidance Train and headed to Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

Zhao Xuanzhen leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head, a slight smile on his face. After two whole months, he had grown tired of even the most beautiful seascapes, and the green forest outside the window was a rare treat.

"Xuanzhen, would you like some local specialties from the Star Luo Continent?" Gu Yue handed over a bag of dried fruit.

"No, there's still a battle to fight later."

"A battle?" Gu Yue frowned, and everyone else pricked up their ears in confusion.

Zhao Xuanzhen said calmly, "I have taken the Soul Guidance Train twice, and both times I was attacked by evil soul masters. The common point was that I had a classmate traveling with me on the train."

What do you think, Wu Lin?

"It's just a coincidence. This time, the journey will definitely be smooth." Tang Wulin's tone was firm. Materialists don't believe in gods and ghosts!

Outside the train window, a black dot suddenly appeared in the distant sky, moving at high speed. It was a squadron of mechs, each with a green skull branded on its chest, their target being this Soul Guidance Train!

"Who is that?"

"The Green Skull, a notorious evil spirit master organization that commits all sorts of heinous acts on the Star Luo Continent!"
