Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 283: The Storage Ring Gains, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and the Battle Against the Former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect
Having killed Elder Tang single-handedly without using a soul-guided weapon, Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of ease and joy welling up inside him.

Despite taking advantage of the ocean, it was still an incredibly glorious achievement. He did not betray the bloodline he inherited from the Mountain Dragon King. He used this power to create his own things, killed a level 97 Super Douluo, obtained six soul bones, and proved his absolute strength.

After this battle, he has entered the level of the top-tier powerhouse in the Douluo Continent. On this boundless sea, unless a Limit Douluo-level powerhouse comes in person, he has the ability to protect himself.

Even if Xuanzi hadn't been crippled, he wouldn't have been able to defeat me on this vast ocean, relying solely on his cultivation. The power of the Mountain Dragon King was the most effective counter to the Earth Dragon lineage, let alone the fact that he was still a half-finished product.

Xu Tianxi's gaze fell on the area where Elder Tang had vanished into thin air. A glint flashed in his eyes as he noticed a storage ring that had fallen into the sea and was sinking to the bottom.

"Whoosh~!" Xu Tianxi raised his left hand slightly, his five fingers curled inward, the seawater flowed backward, the waves rolled back, carrying the storage ring towards him.

It is clearly an ancient storage ring, adorned with a rare sapphire, and possesses spatial properties.

Xu Tianxi quickly broke through the restriction left by Elder Tang with his mental power and found that the space inside was quite large, exceeding 100 cubic meters, and contained a lot of things. The most eye-catching thing was a pile of glittering gold soul coins, which filled dozens of boxes and took up more than half of the volume.

A quick glance revealed that the amount of gold soul coins exceeded fifty million. It was unclear whether it was public funds or the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect's own savings. It was enough for Xu Jiawei to renovate Xingluo City, and also enough for Xu Tianxi to recruit manpower and form a new Beast King-level Soul Master Corps after returning to China, with some money to spare.

After looking at the gold soul coins, Xu Tianxi's gaze shifted to a pile of lead boxes next to them.

Using mental power to open the box lid, a large amount of rich soul light immediately shot out from the lead box. The soul light had different colors, but most of them were thick and deep.

The soul light was captivating, and it caught Xu Tianxi's eye.

"Two 100,000-year soul bones, nine 10,000-year soul bones, and several 1,000-year soul bones. This Haotian Sect is finally showing some promise, with quite a few good things stored up."

"Adding to the 100,000-year soul bone and five 10,000-year soul bones that the old man himself possessed, this harvest was considerable. Even Qian Duoduo and Lin Huiqun combined couldn't compare. He truly deserves to be the number three figure in the Haotian Sect."

A sect with such a long history would be insignificant without a 100,000-year-old soul bone. In this era, even top soul masters without red rings lack sufficient confidence to compete in peak matches.

When Xu Tianxi killed Qian Duoduo and Lin Huiqun last time, all of their soul tools were taken away by the Sun Moon Empire, so he naturally didn't ask for much. This time it's different; he doesn't need to hand over the extra money he earns.

"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts; the ancients were right..."

With this resource now in his own hands, Xu Tianxi continued to project his mental energy, searching for other valuable things.

A few breaths later, booklets floated up and unfolded automatically, their contents reflected in Xu Tianxi's mental sea.

"The Genealogy of the Haotian Tang Family", "Experiences in Cultivating the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique", "Experiences in Cultivating the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian", "The Secret of Transmitting Power with the Great Sumeru Hammer", "The Haotian Formation", "Cultivation Insights of Successive Grand Elders"...

After reading it, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but smile with joy, and in his heart he deeply thanked the Grand Elder of Haotian Sect who had come from afar to offer his head.

"As expected of the Grand Elder, you even brought me the family genealogy, a weapon that can wipe out an entire clan, and this insight into the cultivation of the Haotian Sect's ultimate technique. I really have to thank you today. I was just lamenting that it was a pity you didn't know how to use the Great Sumeru Hammer, but I didn't expect you to give it to me in the blink of an eye. The gift is generous, but the sentiment is even greater..."

Opening the booklet recorded by the Great Sumeru Hammer, one finds not only some formulas but also some admonitions.

The Great Sumeru Hammer is a unique skill passed down exclusively by the lineage of the Haotian Sect's sect leader. It has always been passed down orally and should not have been kept by the Grand Elder. However, ten thousand years ago, a terrible incident occurred where the young sect leader angered the sect leader to death, resulting in the temporary loss of the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Rings technique.

The Haotian Sect members learned from their mistake and decided to leave a paper copy within the sect for safekeeping by their elders in case of any unforeseen circumstances. This was not disrespectful to their ancestors, as the one who proposed it was Tang Xiao, the Howling Sky Douluo, the uncle of the Sea God ten thousand years ago and the sect master of the Haotian Sect at the time.

Now, this decision, made just in case, has benefited Xu Tianxi.

The only problem is that the essence of the Great Sumeru Hammer lies in compressing the energy in the spirit rings and then unleashing it completely. Xu Tianxi's second spirit rings have increasingly higher lifespans, which is difficult for him to withstand even with his current physical condition. Therefore, he can only use it on his first spirit.

However, since the first martial soul mainly cultivates spiritual power, it is not suitable for this kind of power bursting method, unless it is like Tang San ten thousand years ago, who transferred the power of the soul ring to a certain object.

Xu Tianxi glanced at the Mountain Dragon Blood God Sword in his hand, then looked into the distance at Gu Zhaoqiu and Gu Yuena, who were besieging a level 94 Title Douluo of the Haotian Sect with their Silver Dragon Spears, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Let's use it on the Mountain Dragon Blood God Sword; this kind of method is suitable for risking one's life.

And now...

"My physical strength and mental power are far superior to my soul power. I still need to focus on cultivating my soul power..." Xu Tianxi pondered his own shortcomings, realizing that his biggest weakness was still his soul power.

The majority of the power of the Mountain Dragon Blood Divine Sword was drawn from the ocean. His own soul power was insufficient to support such an extremely powerful killing move. If it weren't for this place, he wouldn't have been able to extinguish the life force of a level 97 Super Douluo with a single sword strike.

He is fifteen years old this year and his soul power is level 69, which is already far ahead of his peers. However, compared with his spiritual power and physical blood and qi, the gap is still too far.

He was missing a second soul core, so after returning, he began to unseal the essence that Ice Emperor had sealed in his soul bone; after reaching level 70, he entered the fast lane of cultivation.

"Three years from now, there will definitely be changes in the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Continent. I don't have much time left. Before that, I need to break through to the Soul Douluo level. There will be a lot of trouble..." Considering the situation on the continent, Xu Tianxi knew that there would definitely be bloodshed during the second Soul Battle Tournament in Mingdu. People from the four great empires would all cause trouble, and he didn't want to fall behind.

"Hey you bastard, hand over the Grand Elder's belongings!!!"

Just as Xu Tianxi was pondering, a furious voice suddenly came from afar, like a muffled thunderclap rolling across the sea.

Xu Tianxi turned around and saw the last of the four remaining experts of the Haotian Sect, a Super Douluo, wielding a gigantic Haotian Hammer, charging towards him, breaking through the waves.

Compared to Elder Tang, the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect, he appeared very young, only in his forties. He was tall and imposing, but his soul power fluctuations were in no way inferior to Elder Tang's, and he even surpassed him in terms of blood and qi.

Moreover, his Haotian True Body, which had temporarily forced back the descendants of the Overlord Ancestor, now only had four of the nine spirit rings that should have been floating around him, which inevitably led people to speculate.

"Kid, be careful, this guy's not right." In the sea of ​​consciousness, the Mountain Dragon King's spirit, which had been enjoying watching Xu Tianxi defeat his powerful enemy, spoke up to warn him, its voice unusually serious.

“Of course something’s not right. I just saw it in that old guy’s family tree. This person was the former sect master of Haotian Sect. He had to step down because a talent came from the heavens and became the second elder.”

Xu Tianxi stared at the newcomer's Haotian Hammer and concluded, "He was able to temporarily escape the battle to cause me trouble, so he must have used the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring Technique! This is a good opportunity!"

Not underestimating his opponent, Xu Tianxi narrowed his eyes and released a three-foot-long golden light. The phantom of the Mountain Dragon King behind him opened its eyes and released its soul skill together with Xu Tianxi, causing the heavens and the myriad phenomena to move.

Mountains and rivers! Vast oceans!

Mountains and Rivers, the fourth soul skill of the Mountain Dragon King, was used simultaneously with the Vast Ocean. A large area of ​​the sea in front of Xu Tianxi collapsed, and giant mountains, like sword blades, surged out of the sea, as if sword dragons had come back to life, instantly covering an area of ​​dozens of nautical miles.

The waves surged forth like a roaring tsunami, one after another, without ceasing, as if a volcano were erupting on the seabed, causing a cataclysmic natural disaster.

"Hmph! You think you can trap me with these things? The Great Sumeru Hammer!"

The former sect leader of the Haotian Sect was highly skilled and daring. He wielded his gigantic Haotian True Body and head-on confronted the continuous mountain of sword-like peaks, causing rocks to shatter and giant peaks to collapse.

The roaring waves surged in, and he was enveloped in a surge of blood energy. He roared as he squeezed the energy out of his four spirit rings, raising his power to a level comparable to a level 98 Super Douluo. He unleashed a devastating attack, his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique swirling relentlessly, almost causing the waves to tilt.

"Such powerful strength! This guy's strength is even greater than mine now..." Xu Tianxi was slightly surprised when he saw this. The good things that Tang Chen left behind back then were not given for nothing.

"Just now I used the Mountain Dragon Blood God Sword with all my might to defeat the enemy, which consumed a lot of energy. I cannot activate the Asura Blood Qi a second time in a short period of time, and other methods cannot kill him in time. I will have to use more abilities."

In a flash, Xu Tianxi activated the four celestial phenomena soul skills of River and Swamp to temporarily block the imposing former sect leader of Haotian Sect, while secretly activating the healing soul skill granted to him by the Water Dragon Soul Bone.

A soft, azure halo rose from Xu Tianxi's left leg bone. Under the cover of the seawater, he absorbed a large amount of water elements to replenish his soul power, nourish his mental strength, and calm his blood and qi. A faint, thousand-meter-long water dragon-like light and shadow meandered out and hid beneath the sea.

One of the two major soul skills of the Water Dragon Soul Bone is Divine Water Descent, a comprehensive healing soul skill. It can restore one's condition wherever there is water, and can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. It can provide a glimmer of hope for those below the god level.

With the aid of ultimate water and boundless ocean water elements, Xu Tianxi's body quickly recovered. His brain, which had been aching slightly from activating a trace of Asura sword intent, also eased. The sword intent of the Mountain Dragon Blood God Sword became thick and boundless again, as if it could tear through the void at any moment.

Just then, two figures rushed towards Xu Tianxi almost simultaneously; both were allies.

One is the Snow Emperor, who keeps a low profile, and the other is Ba Bo, the eldest son of Tongtian Bazu, who previously fought against the former sect leader of Haotian Sect.

Xue Di asked with concern, "How are you?"

She knew Xu Tianxi's Mountain Dragon Blood Divine Sword best; it was incredibly powerful and possessed a divine essence, but that essence was something Xu Tianxi couldn't control at the moment, as it would harm both the enemy and himself.

Xu Tianxi shrugged, indicating that he was fine: "I've almost recovered, but I can't unleash the second ultimate attack yet. The Asura Divine Sword is not easy to learn."

As he spoke, he looked at Ba Bo and asked with a smile, "To join forces?"

"Of course, Dragon King, rest assured, I will create opportunities for you to attack."

Ba Bo nodded vigorously. Xu Tianxi's attack, which killed the Grand Elder of Haotian Sect with a single sword strike, earned his approval.

"Is there anything I can do?" Xue Di asked. She did not have dragon blood, and it would be easy for her identity to be exposed if she made a move. Therefore, she had not taken any action before, but instead guarded the Seagod Island reinforcements from the outside.

Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and said, "You can bring me a Title Douluo from the Haotian Sect, any one of them will do."

Xue Di's gaze shifted slightly, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes. She smiled and nodded, "Alright."
