Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 358 The Sea God Alliance, the Grand Tournament is Approaching, Opening the Door to Thieves

The Sea Princess's head bone was soft in texture, like a clump of liquid. It melted quickly when it was placed on her forehead and flowed into her mind.

A cool and refreshing feeling spread through his mind; ethereal, comfortable, and clear were Xu Tianxi's most direct impressions.

At the same time, the Sea of ​​Spirit, which had more than doubled in size due to the absorption of the Soul Ring, expanded again, its boundaries seemingly extending infinitely. The golden halo spread and diffused, greatly increasing the stability of the Sea of ​​Spirit.

In that instant, his mind felt infinitely relaxed and comfortable, as if he could encompass the world in a single thought. Xu Tianxi had a strange feeling that he could now carry several more souls without any problem.

Late at night, with a bright moon and few stars, and the sea calm, Xu Tianxi woke up and stood up.

At this moment, he exuded a powerful aura, his eyes shooting out two beams of azure light. He was extremely ethereal, like a flowing cloud that could be carried away by the wind at any moment, making it difficult to catch his trace with the naked eye.

"As expected of a top-tier head soul bone, it's like a key that unlocks the full potential of my spiritual power."

Suddenly, his imposing aura dissipated, and he returned to his ordinary self, seemingly without any extraordinary qualities. He looked ahead and could clearly see everything within dozens of miles.

"Shu~"

A palm strike came slowly from behind, seemingly gentle but actually swift, with a fierce momentum.

Xu Tianxi stepped back, raised his left hand, and used the power of the ocean to strike out.

Their palms clashed, light and shadow intertwined, and Xu Tianxi and Xu Xiaoyun clashed head-on, with immense force pressing down on their arms like a tidal wave.

Xu Tianxi remained calm and took the opportunity to leap backward, using the force of the ocean to deflect the impact, retreating seven steps as if walking on flat ground.

Xu Xiaoyun swayed slightly and took three steps back, praising, "To be able to withstand my palm strike, not bad, really very good."

"Judging from your expression, I know you're holding back. I have nothing to be proud of." Xu Tianxi shook his head, clearly aware of his own strength.

The Limit Douluo has two soul cores, making his soul power purity and endurance far superior to his. He only has one soul core, so he is no match for him in a prolonged battle.

Of course, this is on the premise that he doesn't use soul tools or call for help. In the past two and a half years, he hasn't just been burying himself in cultivation.

"That's too modest. Soul power isn't your strong suit. I had the upper hand and used my strengths to attack your weaknesses. I'm already very surprised that I could do this."

Xu Xiaoyun's expression was solemn, clearly not just empty words of comfort. Xu Tianxi still had many soul power hurdles to overcome before reaching the Limit Douluo realm. Title Douluo, Super Douluo, Limit Douluo—each level represented a whole new world.

Even so, Xu Tianxi's palm strike, which he unleashed on the ocean, was comparable to a level 98 Super Douluo, and its power was slightly greater than that of Xuanzi back then, but weaker than Du Busi. Even if he was using the ocean's power, it was still quite remarkable, something he could never have done back then.

Speaking of which, when he was eighteen, he was in the sixties or so? It's been so long, I've almost forgotten.

In the distance, Kong Deming opened his eyes and woke up. He flew down and stroked his beard as he said to Xu Xiaoyun, "He has made such progress after absorbing one soul ring and soul bone. If he absorbs another soul ring and soul bone, could he possibly be able to fight against a Limit Douluo on this ocean?"

Xu Xiaoyun smiled faintly: "That's hard to say, but if that's the case, his soul power will definitely be able to rise a bit more, and the benefits of twin martial souls can be fully realized."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi took out a ball of aquamarine light and refused:
"I just absorbed the Sea Princess's soul ring and soul bone, and my spiritual power is advancing by leaps and bounds. Taking advantage of this momentum to completely refine her spiritual power will be the most effective approach. Once my spiritual power is stable, I will then complete the true form of my second martial soul."

After saying that, he released liquid soul light from his palm, his eyes shimmered with silver light, and strands of pure spiritual energy flowed into his brain through his eyes and quickly dissipated.

Xu Xiaoyun laughed and landed opposite Xu Tianxi, assuming a fighting stance. He said, "Since that's the case, I'll test your strength again. Come on."

"You just love to joke around with me."

Xu Tianxi shook his head, but did not refuse his elder's kind intentions. Suddenly, a circle of azure light was released from his feet, drawing on the power of the ocean to enhance his strength.

Under the moonlight, an old man and a young man fought fiercely, stirring up the sea for dozens of miles around. Many experts watched the battle, each with a different expression.

The next day, two great masters descended from the sky. Tongtian Bazu stepped forward to say goodbye, and the two bowed to express their gratitude.

"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. The potential of you humans amazes us. We hope to see the day you become a god."

Tongtian Bazu had the demeanor of an elder; after offering a few words of encouragement, he drifted away.

The Soul Hunt was a great success, and the group returned to the mainland along the icy sea territory. They soon landed and arrived at the nearest airspace of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Kong Deming looked down at the mainland, his expression becoming more solemn. He said to Xu Xiaoyun, "Brother Xu, I have made arrangements for the Xuanming Sect's base. It can be moved here at any time. The whole country will welcome you with open arms."

Xu Xiaoyun nodded and smiled: "Brother Kong, you are too kind. We have long been prepared. In the past two years, Haotian Sect and Sea God Island have been pulling together many sects, large and small, within the Heavenly Soul Empire to form the Sea God Alliance, which has annoyed us quite a bit."

Kong Deming sighed and said with concern, "Yes, the Haotian Sect and Sea God Island claim that they have the Sea God's decree and demand that all sects and forces on the continent unite under their command. Such actions cannot but cause concern."

With such a commotion, Kong Deming didn't believe that the Clear Sky Sect and Seagod Island had no support at all. Even though both of them had suffered heavy losses and many Title Douluos had died, the two Limit Douluos and the one Level 98 Super Douluo were still real.

For the past two and a half years, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family and the Body Sect have been lobbying for them, bringing many powerful Soul Master families and hidden sects onto their side, making their overall strength surpass that of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Kong Deming didn't know if what they were doing could withstand the great disaster that hadn't even been seen yet, but it would definitely pose a threat to the Sun Moon Empire.

Even during the Holy War more than four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Empire had never faced such a situation. If they were to break into smaller groups and enter the Sun Moon Empire to cause destruction, it would be a real headache.

Xu Tianxi stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "The All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament for Advanced Soul Master Academies and Soul Master Academyes is coming up soon. What are our plans for this tournament?"

Kong Deming was taken aback for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "What arrangements can there be? Let things be as they are. The champion of this competition will definitely be the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Xu Tianxi is only eighteen years old and still within the competition scope, but his strength is that of a true powerhouse. Not to mention a group of academy elites, even their dean might not be able to defeat him. He could even put up a fight against Jing Hongchen.

“During the competition, Mingdu will be open to the former Three Kingdoms. I think the so-called Sea God Alliance will not miss this opportunity. In that case, why don’t we just open our doors to them? What do you think?” Xu Tianxi said.

"what do you mean……"

"Broaden the scope of the competition and allow all Soul Master sects and families on the continent to participate in the Soul Battle Tournament in their own names. If they want to come, then they are welcome to come."

Xu Tianxi's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said expectantly:

"I'd really like to see if those sects can still maintain harmony when they fight amongst themselves. In the past, our Sun Moon Empire was often the target of the Three Kingdoms. This time, let them experience what it feels like to be schemed against."

"Hahaha, great idea, really great idea!"

Kong Deming clapped his hands and laughed. Xu Tianxi's idea was really wicked. Just thinking about the effect of sowing discord was enough to make him feel very powerful.

"Instead of letting them run around in some corner of Mingdu, it would be better to put their elites in the hotel. Until the competition ends, they will be invisible hostages. I don't believe that those sects and families would sacrifice their young sect leaders and young elites for a so-called great disaster."

Xu Tianxi continued to explain the ruthlessness of this move, and said with a faint smile: "If they really dare to plot something, then we might as well kill them all; if they dare to run wild in the Sun Moon Empire, they should be prepared to leave their lives behind."

"Opening the door to thieves is more effective than searching the whole world for them."

Kong Deming praised it highly and had already begun to think about what kind of soul tool should be installed in the hotel.

Xu Xiaoyun said, "We won't participate in the competition this time. Some of our sect's core members have already transferred to your Heavenly Court. We will go to the Sun Moon Empire under the pretext of watching the competition, which is a safer option."

Over the past five years, the Xuanming Sect's industries and resources have been quietly transferred to the Sun Moon Empire, with most of them located in the Heavenly Court and surrounding cities built by Xu Tianxi.

The three agreed on a plan and smiled knowingly.

Gu Yuena felt that the three of them were like two old foxes and a little fox trying to trick people. She wrinkled her nose, slightly dissatisfied.

How could you not invite her to such a fun activity? The Mountain Dragon King is disloyal again.

Xu Tianxi sensed something and vaguely felt that a certain dragon god half-body that needed to be coaxed was staring at him with unfriendly eyes, so he quickly left the two old men's social circle and returned to the dragon clan's social circle.

"My lord, my Heavenly Court is also planning to form a team to compete this time. Would you be interested in joining in?"

Gu Yuena raised her snow-white neck slightly and looked at Xu Tianxi with a noble yet dignified gaze. "So you're using this to test the Dragon King?"

Xu Tianxi smiled wryly, took out a piece of shimmering, colorful metal, waved it in front of Gu Yuena, and introduced it:

"This is a secondary alloy I forged from the synthetic metals you created before I left seclusion. It can be used to forge battle armor that will enhance your strength. Why don't you give it a try? This is something you made yourself, and it's very meaningful for the future of the dragon race. It can be recorded in history and praised by future generations."

"The first recorded instance of a dragon wearing battle armor would be most appropriate if our Silver Dragon King were to appear."

His achievements will be recorded in history and praised by future generations.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's purple eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she nodded slightly, "Okay."

Xu Tianxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this master was really hard to please, and he had to be given plenty of emotional support.

However, considering the radar shielding capabilities, metal synthesis abilities, and soul research capabilities she could provide, Xu Tianxi believed it was all worthwhile.

She's just a simple dragon who's lived for hundreds of thousands of years. She spends most of her time at home soaking in hot springs to heal her wounds and has almost no life experience, so it's normal for her to need to be coaxed.

Di Tian observed everything, taking in each scene, and a rare urge to laugh arose in his heart.

Since the appearance of the Mountain Dragon King, good things have happened to the dragon clan one after another, and even the Lord has been concerned about it. In the past two years, the Lord has often missed him, so much so that as soon as the Mountain Dragon King sent a message to the Lord to help, the Lord asked him to set off together.

Suddenly, Gu Yuena asked, "You said that I was the first person in the records to wear battle armor, so who was actually the first person?"

"Of course it's my sister Gu Zhaoqiu, the Imperial Auspicious Beast."

Xu Tianxi blurted out the words, then realized they might be inappropriate and added, "Is there a problem?"

"No, of course not. It's been a long time since I've seen that guy. Let's go see her together."

Gu Yuena's lips twitched noticeably, and she suggested that she stay at the Heavenly Court of the Sun Moon Empire for a short time.

Soaking in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well every day is no fun compared to going out and having fun.
"My lord, may I refuse?" Xu Tianxi felt that taking her back might cause trouble.

"If you don't take me back, I'll go by myself, and you can't stop me." Gu Yuena's eyes gleamed with a smug smile.

Xu Tianxi's lips twitched. "You're ruthless." "Then I'll take the master up. My sister is also in seclusion right now, and she's probably about to break through to level 80."

"That's good."

Gu Yuena controlled her abilities, causing eight spirit rings to float around her body before dissipating, and she was in a very pleasant mood.

Little Mountain Dragon King, this is the majesty of her dragon clan leader.
