Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 356 Killing the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord, Attaching External Palm Bone, and Fighting the Sea Princess Again

The ocean, in the deep sea.

"Ah! You despicable creatures, the Sea God will not let you get away with this!"

The voluptuous, beautiful woman in purple robes roared in fury. Her once elegant and proud face was now ferocious and terrifying. Her body exploded into clouds of blood mist, leaving not a single piece of unscathed flesh. The deepest wound spread from her left chest to her lower back, almost splitting her in two.

Even though she wasn't cleaved in two, the horrific injury severed her life force, causing her to gradually become ethereal.

She was a 600,000-year-old sea spirit beast, the patriarch of the Purple Flood Dragon Clan, whose strength was comparable to a Limit Douluo. At this moment, however, she was in dire straits, covered in wounds, and her soul power was exhausted. She stared intently at the four terrifying figures who were surrounding her, especially the human youth with his sword held in front of him.

Large drops of purplish-red blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs, dripped down the blade of the Mountain Dragon Sword. It was this weapon that had cleaved her body during the fierce battle, its killing intent overwhelmingly domineering.

Xu Tianxi's eyebrows slanted upwards towards his temples, his black hair was loose, his eyes were bright as stars, and his gaze seemed to contain divine power that could shoot down to the heavens. His heavy sword fell naturally, rippling through the space.

He looked down at the purple-robed dragon lord who had been struck by his fatal sword, surrounded by six soul rings—one red, two orange, and three brown-gold—beneath him was the radiant image of a colossal Xuanwu beast formed from boundless seawater, and behind him stood the majestic Mountain Dragon King, gazing at him coldly.
“You are a loyal subject of the sea god, which means you are my enemy. Now that you are about to die, if you have any last words, leave them now so I can deliver them to the sea god for you.”

In mid-air, Xu Xiaoyun was as deep as the ocean, Kong Deming was as bright as the silver moon, and Tongtian Bazu was unremarkable. Each of them guarded their own side, firmly locking onto the aura of the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord, treating the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord as if he were dead.

Their purpose in coming to hunt souls this time was to ensure absolute safety. Surrounded by the four of them, even Di Tian would not be able to escape unscathed.

Further away, a small boat moved swiftly without wind. Gu Yuena held the Dragon God Core in her hand, her long silver hair as smooth as silk, cascading over her shoulders as if she might drift away at any moment. Her purple pupils radiated a resolute gaze as she stared intently at the battlefield.

Nine-colored light flowed within the core of the Dragon God, releasing a faint halo that covered an area of ​​a hundred miles, isolating heaven and earth.

The Mountain Dragon King said that this mission was to eliminate the traitors of the dragon race, and that the Sea God must not find out about it. She, as the sovereign of the dragon race, needed to personally lead the expedition to conceal the secret. She said that she would do it once she arrived.

After all, she is the Silver Dragon King, full of wisdom, strength, and majesty. Wherever the dragon race has a need, she will appear.

It is the Silver Dragon Queen's duty to purge the traitors from the dragon race!

Di Tian, ​​silently holding the umbrella, remained expressionless, but inwardly pleased. The Mountain Dragon King truly brought joy to his lord.

"You are human, and there is only death for you to oppose the true god!" The Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's roar was heart-wrenching, and the purple dragon light and shadow swirling around him appeared and disappeared, filled with resentment and anger.

"Go well."

Xu Tianxi nodded, and the Mountain Dragon Sword swept forward, its spiral-shaped spatial blade directly shattering the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's mangled body.

The Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's expression froze, and he could no longer maintain his human form. He transformed into his original soul beast form, which was a dragon over a hundred meters long. Its body was purple with a hint of blue. Its body crashed into the sea, and its soul light condensed into a red soul ring with six golden rays, which slowly rose and reddened a patch of sky.

"boom……"

The purple dragon fell into the sea, sending sprays soaring into the sky, signifying the fall of a maritime overlord.

A sword shadow descended from mid-air, cleaving the dragon's body in two. A crystalline object, radiating purple energy, shot into the sky—the very soul bone that the ferocious beast was destined to possess.

Xu Tianxi saw through the purple light and recognized the part of the soul bone, and was slightly surprised.

"An external left metacarpal bone similar to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Soulbone?"

Retrieving the left metacarpal bone from a distance, Xu Tianxi's pupils reflected the most beautiful work of art in the Douluo Continent.

In stark contrast to the powerful and domineering Dark Gold Terror Claw right palm bone, this soul bone possessed a restrained ferocity. It was transparent, shrouded in purple light, and coiled into a majestic dragon shadow. Its soul power fluctuations could erode space, revealing a destructive attribute that Xu Tianxi was quite familiar with.

Having successfully hunted the soul, Xu Tianxi was in no hurry to absorb its soul ring and soul bone. He stored the soul ring in his soul ring storage device, then cupped his fists towards the Tongtian Bazu in mid-air and said loudly:
"Please, Ancestor, point us in the right direction again and help us find the location of the Sea Princess."

Hunting souls in the boundless ocean is no easy task. The most difficult part is determining the target's location. They were able to find the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord thanks to the guidance of the Heavenly Overlord Ancestor. After the defeat in the war, the Sea Princess led her people into seclusion, and Xu Tianxi did not know where she had fled to.

Since emerging from seclusion, Xu Tianxi's soul power has reached level 80, and he is only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul Douluo. As for the eighth soul ring of his first martial soul, he had long set his sights on the 600,000-year-old sea princess. Her race is the most skilled in using spiritual power in the ocean.

The Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's spirit ring was prepared for the true form of his second spirit. The Mountain Dragon King suggested slightly improving the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's spirit ring before absorbing it, and Xu Tianxi had no reason to refuse.

Tongtian Bazu scrutinized Xu Tianxi's face, his gaze lingering on his bright and spirited eyes, and asked, "When I gave you the three portions of spiritual essence from the Sea Princess, have you begun to absorb them?"

"Reporting to Grandmaster, two orbs have already been absorbed." Xu Tianxi's gaze was calm, and only top-tier experts could detect the hidden sharpness in his eyes.

"That would be perfect. No wonder your spiritual power has improved so much that you are already able to try to absorb its soul ring. It seems that you have put in a lot of hard work these days."

Tongtian Bazu nodded, showing considerable approval of Xu Tianxi's abilities.

"It was just luck." Xu Tianxi smiled modestly, feeling quite moved by the generosity of Tongtian Bazu back then. The Dragon Clan was truly generous.

The Sea Princess's spiritual essence contained the power of her years of arduous cultivation. In the past two years, under the guidance of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, Xu Tianxi absorbed two orbs and made the essence within them his own, breaking through the insurmountable barrier in one fell swoop.

In terms of absorbing the essence of spiritual power, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's experience is unparalleled, even surpassing that of Electrolux. Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: I am a million-year-old soul beast; little sea princess, easily defeated.

Currently, Xu Tianxi's mental strength level is no less than that of a Limit Douluo. He can fight Xu Xiaoyun and contend with Di Tian at the mental strength level. This is the biggest source of his confidence to come to the deep sea to hunt down two 600,000-year-old ferocious beasts.

Moreover, his transformation over the past two years has gone far beyond just his mental strength; he has made significant progress in all aspects.

Tongtian Bazu had already glimpsed some of Xu Tianxi's true power during the previous battle, so he was no longer worried that Xu Tianxi would be unable to absorb the Sea Princess's soul ring. With a wave of his hand, he used spatial ripples to envelop everyone and disappear from the spot.

"In the past two years, Poseidon Island has gradually regained some of its power. I think the High Priest of Poseidon Island has almost recovered from his injuries, but we should be careful when we encounter him in the future."

Tongtian Bazu led everyone through the void, occasionally offering a few words of advice.

Xu Tianxi stroked his chin, echoing Tongtian Bazu, indicating that he remembered.

Even though he was a genius, he was still the weakest among those present, and he couldn't forget what Tongtian Bazu had said.

Under normal circumstances, Limit Douluo and Level 98 Super Douluo are not the same species. Even Huo Gua at Level 98 might not be able to reliably defeat Dark Saint Dragon Long Xiaoyao. The High Priest of Seagod Island is not a big liar like Xuanzi and should not be underestimated.

After all, they lost to Di Tian. It's not shameful. It would have been the same no matter who was in their shoes.

Di Tian suddenly spoke up, suggesting, "We've brought so many experts this time, why don't we attack Seagod Island and wipe out their entire family? A single high priest from Seagod Island is no match for so many of us."

Tongtian Bazu shook his head and objected, "After all, Seagod Island was left behind by the Seagod. You don't know if the Seagod has any backup plans there. As far as I know, the High Priest of Seagod Island can borrow the Seagod's divine power on the island."

"Even if we manage to suppress him, it's hard to guarantee that the Sea God of the Divine Realm won't make any underhanded moves. He's a scoundrel, and we can't give him the opportunity to interfere in the mortal realm."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian sighed and said, "That makes sense, but unfortunately times have changed. If my Dragon Clan were still at its peak, what could even a God-King do?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's purple eyes flashed, and she gripped the Dragon God Core even tighter. Xu Tianxi also unconsciously clenched his fist, and his gaze turned deep and profound.

After instructing Xiao Hongchen to invite Xuan Ziwen to the Heavenly Court for strict protection and to remotely request Xiong Jun, Di Tian, ​​and even Gu Yuena to protect him, he plunged headlong into the ocean of cultivation, ignoring everything else.

Half a month ago, he emerged from seclusion and learned that there had been undercurrents on the mainland for the past two years, and that an unexpected event had occurred even within the Sun Moon Empire, which made people feel a heavy pressure.

The most important reason why Kong Deming was willing to give up everything to hunt souls at sea with him was that he desperately needed Xu Tianxi to become strong enough to support the situation as the strongest force in the Sun Moon Empire.

Because of Xu Tianxi's special status, once he advances to the Soul Douluo level, he will be comparable to any Title Douluo below level 95 in terms of soul power. In addition, with his unparalleled spiritual power in the Sun Moon Empire, he will be able to use any kind of level 9 soul tool and possess combat power no weaker than Kong Deming at level 94.

The combat power of a Limit Douluo!
Only when the Sun Moon Empire produces a new Limit Douluo-level combatant can Kong Deming's burden be eased.

Moreover, the new Soul Master Corps created by Xu Tianxi gave Kong Deming a huge surprise. The quality of the three hundred Xuanming Sect elites surpassed that of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, the leader of the Five Guardians of the Nation. They were able to wear the battle armor that Xu Tianxi personally crafted and made for them, forming a powerful combat force.

Equipped with the newly developed linked soul guide array, Kong Deming firmly believed that this soul guide team, which had never been revealed to the public before, would bring a huge surprise to any opponent, even if that opponent was a Limit Douluo.

Of course, it is also very important to talk about feelings with the Xuanming Sect. Those madmen in the Holy Spirit Sect have been doing some crazy things in the past two years, and the Sun Moon Empire needs the support of the Xuanming Sect.

As for the powerful soul beasts like Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, and Tongtian Bazu, Kong Deming knew that most of these experts were there because of Xu Tianxi. Xu Tianxi could use his connections to get them to come, but Kong Deming didn't have that kind of influence, so he still needed to maintain some relationships.

With their thoughts drifting, the group found their target under the guidance of the Tongtian Bazu.

"We've arrived. As expected, he's still in seclusion healing his injuries."

Xu Tianxi gazed across the ocean and glimpsed a world of mermaids. From the largest seashell, a faint spiritual fluctuation he recognized was emanating.

He had refined her spiritual essence before, so he was very familiar with it now.

"Let's do it."

The core aura of the Dragon God overflowed, isolating heaven and earth.

Xu Tianxi's brows furrowed, and he raised the Mountain Dragon Sword high in his hand, slashing down horizontally with immense force, splitting the sea and sending the giant seashell where the Sea Princess was flying.

Blood-brown sword energy crisscrossed the seabed, and spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared on the seashells, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

The seashell opened, and a sea princess with a human torso and a fish tail flew out. She spat out a mouthful of blood from her fair face, and upon seeing Xu Tianxi and the others, exclaimed in surprise:
"You actually came here?"

"Not only are we coming here, we're also coming to kill you."

Xu Tianxi responded coldly, switching to the Illusionary Moon Mystic Eye Martial Soul. Seven rings, four red, two orange, and one gold, coiled around his body. The seventh soul ring shone brightly, and the true form of the Martial Soul appeared.
