Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 361 The Purple Radiance Black Martial Arts Achieved, Purple Sword and Mystic Shield, Tang Wutong Descends

Secluded cultivation is a major event. Xu Tianxi went straight into the underground cultivation chamber of the Heavenly Court, set up multiple restrictions, and then opened the gate to the undead demiplane to enter the absolutely safe alternate dimension.

Safety is the most important thing in life.

Tang San, who had been trapped for more than two years, had given up resisting at some point. He lay on the ground, his body as illusory as a bubble, his expression one of utter despair, letting Electrolux do as it pleased, casting down streaks of gray light.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Xu Tianxi greeted Electrolux, found a quiet corner to sit cross-legged, and released the soul rings from the soul ring storage device.

In an instant, a crimson halo soared into the sky. The Purple-Robed Dragon Lord had not had his origin forcibly stripped away before his death. This crimson soul ring was even larger than the Ice Emperor's soul ring. The six golden rays engraved on it demonstrated his profound cultivation. The light pierced through the sky, resembling a giant dragon.

Seeing this, Xu Tianxi's expression became much more serious, unlike when he was absorbing the Sea Princess's soul ring. He focused his mind and released the Purple Xuanwu Shield, using his superior spiritual power to slowly draw it towards him.

Instantly, a powerful and domineering aura, carrying immense soul power, impacted Xu Tianxi's body. The pressure was transmitted layer by layer from his skin to his blood, bones, and even internal organs, swiftly and forcefully.

"As expected of a 600,000-year spirit ring, that's impressive!"

Xu Tianxi inwardly praised him, focusing his energy on resisting the lingering spiritual will of the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord. In the airspace of the Undead Demiplane, it seemed as if a divine figure under the moon was colliding with the purple dragon.

The fluctuations in light and flames were eye-catching, drawing the attention of both Electrolux and Tang San.

Electrolux smiled and looked on, clearly pleased.

Tang San's eyes widened in disbelief.

That was a spirit ring produced by a ferocious beast that had existed for 600,000 years. How could it have been absorbed into someone's seventh spirit ring?

Back when I was still a Quasi-Soul Saint, the Soul Rings I attached to my two Martial Souls were only a little over 100,000 years old. The Ant King Soul Ring of the Clear Sky Hammer underwent a mutation under special circumstances.

This level of talent is truly worthy of being the rising star of destiny that I have been searching for. But when will I finally find him, my lord...?

Tang San looked at himself, unable to escape, with his divine sense, and felt even more desolate.

The rising star is growing at an alarming rate, and his spirit ring configuration is far superior to his own back then. He had absorbed the spirit ring and spirit bone of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but it wasn't the seventh ring.

In terms of cultivation, the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord is second only to the three Sovereigns among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. He possesses powerful racial talents, and with his dragon bloodline and dual attributes of destruction and water, his physical body and destructive power are extremely terrifying. His combat strength at sea is slightly superior to that of the Bear Lord.

Therefore, Xu Tianxi summoned several experts to surround and kill her, and then chose to absorb the Sea Princess's soul ring and soul bone to strengthen his foundation.

Only in this way could he be absolutely certain of absorbing the impact of the 600,000-year-old soul ring.

Time passed slowly, and as a blood-red mist appeared on Xu Tianxi's body, the Mountain Dragon King roared in his spiritual sea.

"open!"

Instantly, Xu Tianxi felt as if a seal had been broken on his torso and thoracic vertebrae, and wisps of heavy energy overflowed from them and flowed into his soul ring.

The pressure from the Purple-Robed Dragon's main soul ring immediately eased, and Xu Tianxi's furrowed brows relaxed. He focused his mind and sensed the strange changes.

In the sea of ​​spirit, Xu Tianxi's spiritual body stood shoulder to shoulder with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor, admiring the Mountain Dragon King's methods.

As waves of brownish-gold light entered the soul ring, a seventh golden ray quickly began to condense on the blood-red soul ring, undergoing a peculiar transformation.

"Upgrading the age of a soul ring, I think I can do that too," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered to himself.

Ice Emperor rebuked, "Tianmeng, you are truly shameless. Senior Mountain Dragon King brought about a fundamental change, endowing the Soul Ring with new energy attributes. You have merely added energy."

Not far away, Tongtian Xiaobaxia and Yinyue Longlanghuang nodded in unison, their lips curving upwards in satisfaction, their admiration for the Mountain Dragon King growing even stronger.

This is the power of our Dragon King!
Xu Tianxi patted Tianmeng Bingcan on the shoulder, smiled and shook his head to comfort her.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't argue, silently shrinking its head and transmitting its thoughts telepathically:
"Tianxi, your Sea Princess Soul Ring is 600,000 years old. Just wait, I'll help you turn it into a million years old sooner or later."

"My brother's spiritual essence is incredibly powerful."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi glanced at the remaining six or so light clusters of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, knowing that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wasn't boasting, and then advised:
"There's no need to rush. I haven't gotten used to the two soul skills the Sea Princess gave me yet. One is the auxiliary Mermaid Trio, which makes my mental soul skills have a triple effect."

The other is the extremely powerful single-target soul skill, "Tears of the Vast Ocean." This soul skill has such a strong explosive power that there's no need to rush it.

"Why?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked, puzzled. He had seen Xu Tianxi and Xu Xiaoyun use the Mermaid Trio when they were fighting, but he had never seen Canghai Jue Lei.

Xu Tianxi's expression turned strange: "Because the Soul Skill 'Tears of the Vast Ocean' can increase its power by burning spiritual power, or even life force, if you raise it now, the consequences could be unpredictable if you don't control it properly."

"When I was fighting Xuanzu, I had just absorbed the last 100,000-year-old spiritual essence of the Sea Princess. My spiritual sea was not stable. How could I use such a soul skill?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hissed and gasped, nodding repeatedly. Was the Sea Princess filled with resentment before her death, or what was going on, that she provided such a special soul skill?

"What about the soul bone? Of her two soul bone skills, I see you only used the Mermaid Control, which released the Mermaid Spirit to control your mental skills, essentially creating a second clone."

"The mermaid spirit allows you to activate a mental soul skill for you while using the Purple Xuanwu Shield, and it only requires one-third of your usual mental energy. The combination of the two doubles your combat power."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was very interested in the Sea Princess's skill reserves. Regardless of the consequences, the spiritual soul skills she provided were extremely useful, befitting a 600,000-year-old sea soul beast.

Sigh, another day of lamenting racial barriers. If he hadn't been born from an ice silkworm, he would have soared to great heights long ago.

"The second soul bone skill is a massive and powerful area-of-effect attack soul skill, Ode to the Vast Ocean, which can be both real and illusory, and its power is unparalleled."

Xu Tianxi pondered for a moment and said, "After activating that soul skill, I will summon thousands of mermaid souls to form an eternal blue sea in my mind. My Illusionary Moon Mystic Eyes will be able to extend my vision to the limit, leaving a tidal mark on the target from a distance, locking onto its location. With a thought, it will be like the ocean descending, directly breaking through the enemy's mental sea."

"Furthermore, this soul skill has the effect of ignoring soul skills such as absolute defense, and will only cause true damage. Anyone who wants to resist it must use their mental strength to withstand it."

"Ignoring defense and breaking straight through the sea of ​​spirit? This effect is too..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart trembled. The effect of the 600,000-year-old soul skill provided by the Sea Princess was enough to scare soul beasts to death.

Xu Tianxi comforted her, "This is the information I received. I don't know the specific effects. It's possible that the Sea Princess was just exaggerating. It's hard to say."

The ability to ignore defense sounds powerful, but in the original work, there is another skull that can provide immunity to mental attacks, and it is immune to three times. It was produced by his sister, Gu Zhaoqiu, who is currently working hard at blacksmithing.

This soul skill is the nemesis of all mental soul skills. Huo Gua has relied on this ability to save his life from top experts many times, and he is even immune to the attacks of the Evil Emperor.

So... whether the Sea Princess's soul skill can break through all defenses is still unknown. Xu Tianxi can't very well use this soul skill to clash with Gu Zhaoqiu. Killing his sworn sister is too abstract; he's not Chief Qiao.

Moreover, this ability originated from the Sea Princess, so it might not be effective against some of the Sea God's followers, such as Princess Wang Dong'er. Of course, he didn't intend to provoke that woman; it would be best if everyone just stayed out of sight of her.

While Xu Tianxi was chatting with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's soul ring outside was about to show its ninth golden light, and the red ring began to turn golden.

"Little Dragon Turtle, Little Scorpion, come and join the attack! Tianxi, concentrate and prepare to welcome the True Form of the Martial Soul."

The Mountain Dragon King shouted in a deep voice, which reached the ears of the two ferocious beasts and Xu Tianxi.

"it is good."

Xu Tianxi, Bingdi, and Tongtian Xiaobaxia all closed their eyes.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched in amazement as the Ice Emperor and Tongtian Xiaobaxia poured their primal energy into the drastically changed Purple Robe Dragon's main soul ring.

"Good heavens, Tianxi's second martial soul's true form is equivalent to the condensation of the origins of three great soul spirits and the essence of the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord in his lifetime. It's probably even stronger than mine..."

However, as he thought about it, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became proud again. There is a difference between a million-year soul ring created by an acquired beast and a million-year soul ring created by an innate beast. His million-year soul ring only has pure spiritual attributes, which is more suitable for him.

Luck is also part of strength.

A moment later, the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's Soul Ring turned to gold and gradually stabilized.

Above the undead demiplane, the purple dragon phantom dissipated and disappeared into Xu Tianxi's body.

In an instant, Xu Tianxi's aura rose steadily, and the Purple Radiance Xuanwu Shield that hovered in front of him suddenly flew up, swelled in the wind, and transformed into a terrifying and incomparable behemoth in the air.

With a tortoise's body and a dragon's tail, its imposing presence is overwhelming. The black tortoise soars through the sky, majestic as a divine mountain. The purple dragon opens its eyes, seemingly capable of swallowing the world. Its arrogant and violent purple-black pupils radiate a destructive aura that can shatter space itself.

Xu Tianxi suddenly opened his eyes, examined the true form of the martial spirit, and murmured, "The beast form of a top-grade weapon martial spirit? It's a very good state."

He stood up, like an ancient giant resurrected. His aura distorted the space around him. With a thought, he pointed a finger at the sky, using the secret technique of the Divine Beast Celestial Phenomenon, and his essence, energy and spirit were completely united with it.

"Change!" Xu Tianxi shouted.

Within the powerful soul light, a miraculous scene unfolded—the Xuanjia Divine Turtle and the Zihuang Annihilation Dragon ingeniously separated, splitting into two distinct clusters of light.

Having broken free from the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, the Xuanjia Divine Turtle released layers of brownish-gold light, transforming into a new dragon shadow with a face and physique identical to the Mountain Dragon King.

Xu Tianxi knew that this was the true, authentic form of the Xuanwu Martial Soul. The Zihuang Annihilation Dragon was a variant, which always suppressed the earth attribute of the Xuanwu Martial Soul with its powerful destructive attribute.

The Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon split off, spread its wings and roared, it was unclear whether it was celebrating its freedom or celebrating the completion of its awakening.

Before today, the Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon had been in a dormant state. Xu Tianxi could forcibly awaken it and use its power, but not completely.

Only today, after absorbing the soul ring essence of the six hundred thousand-year-old Purple Robe Dragon Lord, has this dragon soul, nurtured for many years, been fully awakened and put to use by Xu Tianxi.

"Since we've already separated, let's not change back for now. Let's keep each other company in a different form."

Xu Tianxi pondered for a moment and then used his mind to control the materialized martial spirit.

Instantly, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon underwent a miraculous transformation. Its wings folded inward, its four claws retracted, and its body coalesced, transforming into a giant purple-black sword in mid-air. Then, it rapidly shrank, rushing towards Xu Tianxi like a flying sword.

"Zheng~"

Xu Tianxi caught the purple-black dragon sword, smiled slightly, and tucked it into his waistband.

In the air, the dark golden Xuanwu transformed back into its shield shape and landed in front of Xu Tianxi, its martial spirit true form dissipating.

"It's finally complete."

Looking at the purple sword and black shield in his hand, Xu Tianxi let out a long breath. His back straightened up without him even realizing it, like a sharpened spear, and his brows exuded an aura of towering strength.

From this day forward, he will have the confidence to face the strongest people in the world.

"Oh right, there's still one soul bone that hasn't been fused yet. I remember the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's Destruction Dragon Source Claw is extremely powerful. I hope I'll be lucky enough."

……

Just as Xu Tianxi was counting the Sea Princess's soul skills and thinking that these soul skills might be useless against the Sea God's own daughter, a scene that he really didn't want to see was happening in the Haotian Sect.

In the quiet room, Wang Dong'er lay quietly on the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Bed, still holding an ice cream with only teeth marks in her hand, presumably she hadn't finished it.

Niu Tian and Titan stood guard at the entrance of the meditation room, bowing respectfully to the statue of the sea god.
"Third Brother, we are incompetent and have not been able to find the chosen one. We have not discovered Huo Yuhao's uniqueness. We can only rely on you from now on."

"Understood. Since we can't find another person with such luck on the original Douluo Continent, let's go to the Sun Moon Empire and take a look. I'll awaken Xiao Qi's memories ahead of time now."

The sea god, with his majestic divine sense, stood in mid-air and said, "After Xiao Qi is fully awakened, you can go out and travel under the pretext of protecting her. But remember, you must be discreet when you make your move."

"Yes."

As the sound faded, a sacred and vast pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky above the Haotian Sect, reaching directly into the meditation room and enveloping Wang Dong'er's body.

Niu Tian and Titan kept their heads down, turning away from the scene.

A moment later, Wang Dong'er suddenly opened her cold, domineering eyes and scanned the surroundings as if surveying her own territory, her gaze almost devoid of emotion.

"Is this the Douluo Continent? What did Dad send me here to do?"

She rose from the ice bed, releasing her Goddess of Light Butterfly martial soul. With each step she took, a soul ring rose beneath her feet, the color of which was inexplicable.

Black, black, black, black, black, red.

Seven Rings, Soul Saint.
