Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 398 The Dark Holy Dragon Era Ends, Zhongli Falls (Bonus Chapter 5k, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
"Long Xiaoyao, I, Xu, have not been cultivating for long, but I have killed quite a few enemies, including many of these evil soul masters!"

Xu Tianxi swung his battle sword, drawing a circular sword light. The dark golden soul light surging across his body suddenly intensified several times over. Pointing his sword at Long Xiaoyao, he glared and coldly shouted:

"You want me to stop? Are you kidding me?! Back when my ancestor wanted to destroy Shrek Academy, it was you, you old bastard, who stopped him, causing endless troubles. How could I let these beasts escape today!"

"If you do not retreat, I will slay you tonight; I will not sheath my sword until all evil spirits in the world are vanquished! Then we shall see whether your bones are strong enough, old man, or I am young and full of life!"

His voice was like the clash of metal, like the long tolling of a Buddhist bell, containing the power to pierce through clouds and shatter rocks, shaking people's hearts. Many evil soul masters trembled, and even the surrounding space rippled.

Long Xiaoyao raised his eyes and stared at Xu Tianxi, a hint of surprise flashing in his bright old eyes. He sighed:
"Twelve years ago, your great-grandfather entered the Sun and Moon Empire to cultivate and had a brief encounter with me. At that time, he went into the Demon Forest to hunt souls, saying that he came for his descendants. Now I think it was you."

“If you weren’t connected to my ancestor, do you think I would be chatting with you here? Ever since I arrived here, I’ve been on guard against you, this old fellow who’s been secretly watching me.”

Xu Tianxi's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and his left leg shimmered with a hazy, rosy glow. He activated the Water Dragon Soul Bone skill, Divine Water Descent, quietly absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to restore his depleted soul power.

The sword strike that severely injured Zhongli Wu was an extremely powerful killing move that he combined with his spatial mastery and destructive power, consuming a great deal of energy; this casual conversation is a good opportunity to recover.

With that sword strike, he used his spatial mastery, which surpassed Zhongli Wu's, to unleash a powerful spatial technique, sealing him off. Then, he unleashed a strike where his essence, energy, and spirit were completely integrated, containing the will of the Purple Radiance Annihilating Heavenly Dragon. Only in this way could he break the Bone Dragon King in one blow and kill Zhongli Wu.

In the Douluo Continent, spatial elements are on par with light and darkness, and are considered superior elements that constitute the world. The power of destruction, as the name suggests, signifies extreme destructiveness. The spatial collapse destroyed the true forms of the Bone Dragon King and Zhongli Wu's martial souls, and a single sword strike of destruction could sever their life force.

With the combined power of two top-tier forces, Fang succeeded in his attack. Although Zhongli Wu was saved by Long Xiaoyao, his martial soul was severely damaged, and his soul power dropped from level 98.

However, such results were not enough to satisfy Xu Tianxi's appetite. He came today to take lives; what was the point of crippling someone?

If Long Xiaoyao insists on protecting her, then there is no other way but to fight!
In an instant, Xu Tianxi's intense spiritual power was fully revealed for the first time. His pupils shot out an inch of golden light, as deep and boundless as an endless ocean, which made Long Xiaoyao secretly startled and feel inferior. Xu Xiaoyun's great-grandson was too capable.

Knowing that things couldn't end well today, Long Xiaoyao shook his head, a troubled look on his face, and said:
"I've come here today only to ensure the safety of three people. One of them has already been seriously injured by you, while the other two are currently unharmed. As long as you allow me to take them away, I will let you slaughter the rest of the Holy Spirit Cult. What do you say?"

"Otherwise, I would have no choice but to bully the weak today; although you are young and promising, your cultivation experience is probably not as profound as mine. After all, you are not even a Title Douluo yet."

Long Xiaoyao, with his keen eyesight, had already discerned from Xu Tianxi's previous moves that his cultivation level was indeed level eighty-nine. He just didn't know what method Xu Tianxi had used to cultivate, having already condensed his first soul core and forged his soul power into something incredibly solid and pure, not much weaker than his own.

His spatial mastery, his unity of heaven and man, and his physical strength are all at the level of Limit Douluo, or even stronger. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bring Zhongli Wu to the brink of death when his soul power was so much lower. His only weakness is that he would be at a disadvantage in a prolonged battle.

He really didn't want to make enemies, and he would even be happy to see him wipe out the vast majority of the Holy Spirit Cult, or even kill Zhongli Wu. He just hoped that it would be best if he and Ye Xishui died first.

He didn't want Ye Xishui to witness the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult, nor did he want her to see Zhong Liwu and Yan Shaozhe die tragically.

As soon as Long Xiaoyao uttered his almost conciliatory words, the evil soul masters who were fiercely fighting on the ground all showed despair. Even the Supreme Elder was going to abandon them. Was there really no way out today?
Xu Tianxi scoffed, a cold smile curving his lips, and said, "Although your words are wishful thinking, I'm quite curious to know which two people you're so determined to protect."

Long Xiaoyao held up two fingers, pointing downwards, one towards Yan Shaozhe and the other towards Xuanzi; "Those two."

Seeing this, Xu Tianxi's expression turned strange for a moment, then his face turned as cold as frost, and he shouted loudly:
"What a coincidence! This Yan Shaozhe is the very person I've been wanting to kill. Xuanzi and I also have an old grudge. If you want to protect them, then we're bound to have a showdown today!"

Before he could finish speaking, the sword's edge was already gleaming. The hilt of the Purple Dragon Sword trembled incessantly, and the pupils on the dragon head relief of the blade-swallowing sword shone brightly, shooting out two beams of destructive light that pierced through the sky and struck Long Xiaoyao from afar!

"Old grudges?"

Long Xiaoyao raised his hand to block the two beams of destruction. His shoulders trembled, and then he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When Xu Xiaoyun first approached him, she mentioned that he, as a junior, had an indirect feud with Xuanzi over the murder of his mother!
Sure enough, Xu Tianxi appeared as if stepping through the night sky.

In his left hand, the Xuanwu Shield, as deep as a mountain, transformed into countless sea-suppressing divine tablets, crushing a large area of ​​space; in his right hand, the Zihuang Sword, its sword light like a galaxy; flowing freely, the sword light transformed into a dragon, roaring out!

"I forgot that old fellow Xuanzi has caused too much trouble. This is a big problem now."

Long Xiaoyao sighed at his miscalculation, but had no choice. He flung Zhongli Wu away and freed his hands to meet the giant monument and dragon sword that Xu Tianxi had unleashed.

Suddenly, his robes ripped apart, and his arms, like great dragons, unleashed two dark dragon shadows. The domain beneath his feet bloomed, turning the already dim night sky pitch black, making it difficult even for a Soul Master to see clearly in the air.

"With my sword, I will slay all limits; I am invincible!"

Xu Tianxi's voice rolled across the sky above Mingdu City, echoing back and forth like the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers, shaking the hearts of many Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level.

Many Soul Masters and Soul Instructors caught a glimpse of a colossal, purplish-black dragon rising from the dark battlefield in the sky. It spread its massive wings, roared across the heavens, and its iron-blooded will to conquer seemed to crush the heavens and earth. Its majestic and domineering dragon eyes shot out beams of light capable of destroying the world.

"The Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon! It is the totem beast of my Sun Moon Empire, the Purple-Radiant Heaven-Slaying Dragon!"

In that instant, countless people of the Sun and Moon Empire, whether awakened or turning their gazes, were captivated. They frantically called out the name of the purple-black dragon, believing it to be a symbol of divine protection for the Sun and Moon.

Deep within the Demon Forest, a Sovereign-level powerhouse was awakened by the aura of destruction. He raised his enormous eyes, his expression filled with astonishment and uncertainty:
"Such a powerful beam of destruction! It originates from the same source as my own Light of Destruction. When did the Sun Moon Empire produce such a powerful Soul Master..."

Outside the city of Mingdu, two figures that should not have appeared in the human world drifted in. The man was middle-aged with a rugged face and a strong aura; the woman was beautiful and gentle, wearing a light green dress, and stared at the battlefield from afar.

Tang Hao murmured, "Is that the person the mistress told us to keep an eye on? He's definitely extraordinary."

Ah Yin said, "Hao, someone with such an imposing aura and strength approaching the pinnacle of this world is likely to have an unyielding character. Xiao San wants us to send him to that place, I'm afraid..."

"This is nothing. If he knew how great the opportunities would be after entering, he would naturally know what's good for him." Tang Hao said with a disdainful smile:

"Since Xiao San and his brothers and sisters became gods ten thousand years ago, no one on the continent has been able to ascend to godhood, and no one has even sensed the existence of the divine realm; this is not because they lack talent, but because Heaven has no longer given them the opportunity to become gods."

"No matter how talented or strong he is, if his mistress doesn't give him a chance, he will be forever confined to this world and unable to move. We are giving him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"But Hao, this person is too young. Even Xiao San at this age doesn't have this kind of strength. He must be an extremely arrogant person. What if..."

"There's no 'what if'!" Tang Hao interrupted his wife's worried words domineeringly, crossed his arms, stepped onto the teleportation platform that the Holy Spirit Cult had worked overtime to build, and said forcefully:
“Anyone who is not a member of the Tang family will never be qualified to become a god in this plane. Even if they cultivate their spiritual power into divine consciousness, or even create their own godhood, it is absolutely impossible!”

"When his soul power weakens, we'll use teleportation!"

Ah Yin's lips moved slightly, but she was speechless. Her husband... was right.

At this moment, the battle in the airspace was already extremely fierce. Xu Tianxi used half of his Martial Soul True Body, and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon appeared, its power shaking the heavens and the earth. The light of destruction almost broke through Long Xiaoyao's Black Dragon Domain.

After suffering repeated defeats, Long Xiaoyao quickly unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a dark dragon over a thousand meters long. He leaped through the air, his entire body as black as ink, and crashed into the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, causing large sections of space to shatter.

One purple and one black, two dragons clashing—this was an earth-shattering battle rarely seen in the Douluo Continent for a thousand years. They no longer used their soul skills, simplifying the complex and applying their soul skills to their most familiar combat methods, unleashing the most powerful and direct collision!
In the airspace outside Heavenly Court City, two top-tier experts of equal strength were locked in a fierce stalemate, exchanging auras. Xu Xiaoyun glanced at the battle, his face beaming with barely concealed amusement, and announced loudly:
"Do you see that, Ye Xishui? My Xuanming family's prodigy has already achieved great success in his cultivation. Even that old bastard Dark Holy Dragon can't suppress his rise. The end of your Holy Spirit Cult is coming!"

Beside Ye Xishui stood a dark demonic tower with an extremely terrifying aura. Hearing Xu Xiaoyun's words, she immediately curled her lips and coldly said:
"These past few days on the field, I have constantly felt an unfathomable aura warning all sides. I thought it was Emperor Tian or Snow Emperor, but I never expected it to be a descendant of your Xuanming Sect. Old man, you have been hiding yourselves very well."

"If we had known this would happen, we should have killed you and the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons back then, otherwise we wouldn't be in this predicament today!"

"You flatter me. We are the Xuanming family, so of course we have to hide ourselves well to survive. But getting rid of me is out of the question. I'm not like Mu En or Long Xiaoyao, I'm not interested in an old woman like you."

Xu Xiaoyun laughed heartily, taking it as a compliment on their cautious actions, then glanced at the fierce battle below and said:

"With Lord Xiong and my disciple guarding the Heavenly Court, your people can't possibly break through the defenses. Are you going to get out of here on your own, or wait for them to deal with those little bugs and then join me in attacking you?"

"As for your daughter-in-law, don't even think about saving her. The bomb site for that underground Soul Master Competition was personally set up by my great-grandson, and there were so many experts ready to trap her like a turtle in a jar. Her best fate today is to be captured alive."

Enraged by these words, Ye Xishui activated the Death God Tower, causing countless mournful cries of ghosts to echo throughout the heavens and earth. Ye Xishui's shrill shouts and curses were particularly loud:
"Old tortoise, you're a persistent ghost! Tonight, I'll smash your shell to pieces!"

Xu Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows, struck a special pose, and coldly shouted, "You evil soul masters are the ones who deserve to die! Let me see just how powerful your soul tool is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed forward with both palms, and the earth dragon Xuanwu roared to the heavens, spewing out the light and shadow of two continents, and the water mist evaporated, turning into a storm.

The battle of Limit Douluo resumed, and Ye Xishui's cursing was particularly loud, with some even saying things like "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School deserves to die, it has no stance even as good as our Holy Spirit Sect."

Xu Xiaoyun ignored the warnings and focused solely on the battle. The opponent's Death Tower was extremely powerful, and even he had to be on high alert when facing it.

Ye Xishui's purpose in appearing tonight was to lead the attack on the Heavenly Court, which was guarded by Xiong Jun, to destroy the Heavenly Court City and interrupt the Sun Moon Empire's rise. However, she was blocked in her way by Xu Xiaoyun, who was lying in wait.

All the experts of the Xuanming Sect have quietly moved to the Heavenly Court during this competition. Below, the light of many Seven Treasure Glazed Pagodas shines, and Ning Tian is among them, protecting their new home with his clansmen.

The sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was very perceptive. As soon as he saw the two giants above start fighting, he immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body and gave Xu Xiaoyun a full set of enhancements. He even shouted, "The Seven Treasures are famous, the fourth is called Yu."

This nearly gave Ye Xishui a heart attack. The Death God Tower's first display of power had encountered an unbreakable tortoise shell. She desperately wanted to tear the Nine Treasures Sect Master to pieces...

……

"Boom!"

In the airspace above the Imperial Prison, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon clashed hundreds of times in succession. The dragon swung its tail, tore the sky with its claws, breathed out its breath, and its bodies clashed... One after another, the powerful and unparalleled dragon talents and abilities were displayed before the world, like two ferocious beasts dominating a fierce battle.

Suddenly, the body of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon became illusory for a moment during the collision, as if its soul power was about to be exhausted.

The Dark Holy Dragon immediately seized the opportunity, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged forward, striking at the waist of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

"Young people shouldn't be too impetuous. Some things can wait until later. Even a young dragon, though strong, still needs to grow."

Long Xiaoyao spoke up, intending to injure Xu Tianxi, and advised him to be merciful.

This young man surprised him greatly. He had fought him for so long with only one soul core, and his combat skills and awareness were flawless. His only advantage was that his dual soul cores allowed him to fight for even longer.

Unfortunately, a single soul core cannot compete with a dual soul core. His soul power was about to be exhausted, and the Dark Holy Dragon was about to strike the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. Long Xiaoyao thought with regret.

"The future is too far away; I'll seize the day!"

Just then, the Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon suddenly let out a powerful roar. The dragon's phantom disappeared and returned to human form, appearing one kilometer away. Xu Tianxi crossed his hands above his head, and at the same time, his ten fingers shot out incomparably sharp dragon claws.

The left claw is purplish-black, shrouded in the light of destruction, originating from the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord. The right claw is dark brown, originally the Dark Gold Terrorclaw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but it was modified by the bloodline of the Mountain Dragon King and is now the Mountain Dragon Terrorclaw, deep and heavy.

Now, Xu Tianxi raised both claws high, his spirit and energy merging into one, his eyes burning with purple flames. The shadows of the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord and the Mountain Dragon King appeared behind him simultaneously, roaring in unison with him:

"The young phoenix's cry is clearer than the old phoenix's; a new generation replaces the old! The most outstanding figures are those of today. Old man, I'll show you now the young dragon's potential, capable of tearing the heavens apart!"

Suddenly, the light and shadow of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon and the Mountain Dragon King entered Xu Tianxi's body, and his claws pressed down, tearing the sky apart!
Ten enormous dragon claws, each over a thousand meters long, emerged from the void. Five claws were dark purple, and five were brownish-yellow, as if an ancient dragon god who had created the world had descended, releasing an overwhelming aura that made all dragons submit and causing the heavens and earth to tremble!

In that instant, the Dark Holy Dragon's pupils shrank, and the Dark Gluttons on the ground trembled involuntarily. The majestic young dragon contained a pure and powerful bloodline, making these old dragons with insufficient bloodlines tremble!

"Are there really such terrifying young people in the world?"

All of Long Xiaoyao's defenses were torn apart by the Ten Directions Dragon Claws in an instant. His domain was destroyed, and the Dark Holy Dragon's true form could not exert seventy percent of its power under the dragon claws. It was directly sent flying, its blood splattering in the sky, and it withdrew from its true form state with a whimper.

At that moment, he knew that his era had truly come to an end.

Glancing at Long Xiaoyao, whose fate was unknown, Xu Tianxi's aura surged like a rainbow. The Purple Radiance Extinguishing Heaven Dragon light and shadow re-condensed beneath his feet. He raised two fingers, using the energy of heaven and earth to condense a sword, which stretched across the sky, pointing towards Zhongli Wu, who was flanking in the distance.

“Holy Spirit Master, I told you, now that I have come, I need not leave! There is no need to worry about what will happen after my death. In the future, when my name is known throughout the world, people will remember your name, Zhongli!”

As the words fell, the sword fell, the ancient sword of heaven and earth pierced the sky, revealing the ultimate realm of the unity of heaven and man, using the power of heaven and earth as the sword, piercing through a peerless expert of the era!
"No~no~no~..."

The heavily injured Zhongli Wu roared hoarsely. His mask shattered, revealing a powerless face. He tried to muster his soul power to break free, but it seemed as if he had already been judged by this world.

The power of heaven and earth sealed off his escape route, and spatial elements transformed into binding chains—a spatial realm and divine achievement that he could only dream of.

"Wow!"

Colorful blood blossoms bloomed under the night sky. A former level 98 Super Douluo turned into blood mist and ashes. His soul power returned to the world and became a stepping stone for a new top powerhouse, heralding the birth of a new king of the human world.

"Roar~!"

The Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon raised its head and roared, its wings obscuring the sky and sun, its light and mist piercing through hundreds of miles, covering the entire Ming capital, bursting forth with the wild joy of victory.

Just as the moon was setting high in the sky, Xu Tianxi stood atop the dragon's head, walking before the moon, to hunt down his next target.

On the earth, all the evil spirit masters were staggering and trembling, as if they were welcoming the judgment of the heavens.
