Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 512 Schemes, Xue Hongchen and Xu Wushuang, Twin Divine Beast Martial Souls (First Update)
In the Realm of Life, Xu Tianxi laid out his entire plan. The God of Destruction remained silent, while the Goddess of Life frowned slightly and asked:
"Water God King, your plan is sound, but what if the Asura God really doesn't have any ulterior motives this time?"

"I firmly believe in my judgment. This person will stop at nothing to interfere in the affairs of the lower realm. I am an irreconcilable enemy with him. When I enter the realm of gods, I will surely have a life-or-death battle with him."

Xu Tianxi clarified his position, and then added, "However, since you have said so, I can guarantee that I will not take the initiative to act this time, unless Tang San takes the initiative to attack those true gods who went to listen to his sermon."

The Goddess of Life raised her head and said, "Since ancient times, no true god in the divine realm has ever perished due to internal strife; I know you have many grudges, but you are all god-kings, so perhaps there are some misunderstandings?"

Xu Tianxi chuckled and softened his tone, saying, "Senior, have you forgotten about Tang Wutong's split soul? If you can be so ruthless to your own daughter, what misunderstanding could I possibly have with him?"

As the words fell, the Goddess of Life's pupils trembled violently, and the God of Destruction's eyes suddenly brightened, a murderous aura bursting forth from them.

"Little Green, we are both seriously injured now, so we don't need to worry about what's going on outside. Let the Water God King and the others handle it."

The God of Destruction's voice was deep, suppressing intense killing intent and rage as he cursed:
"Xiao Qi's soul problem was only recently resolved, and Tang San, that beast, is far too cruel and vicious. He actually used such methods on his own daughter. He's worse than an animal!"

"Ahem, Senior Destruction, there are many powerful soul beasts in the lower realm who value loyalty and righteousness more than humans. What you're saying is really hurting them. Or do you think he's even worse than the Dragon God? That bastard Dragon God is a complete scoundrel."

Along the way, the big shots of the soul beast clan had helped him a lot. Xu Tianxi looked serious and firmly believed that comparing Tang San with them was an insult to them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Tang San also has half soul beast bloodline; in reality, his soul was taken from next door by Old Shura, and the real "Tang San" died long ago.

"That's exactly what I meant, you get the idea." The God of Destruction chuckled awkwardly, then said:
"Anyway, now I'm leaving things outside to you. We'll find the location of that crimson plane soon. Remember to bring me a souvenir after you're done."

"Don't worry, senior. I'm not good at judging things. I'll definitely snatch a few artifacts back for you to appraise when I get there."

……

On the Red Dust Star, Xu Tianxi's true form let out a soft sigh and muttered to himself, "I did say I would wait for Tang San to make the first move, but I never said I would protect those who are loyal to Tang San."

"Zhou Weiqing, the God of Destruction... This time, I'll make sure you die at that bastard's hands."

After reciting the words, Xu Tianxi pointed to the sky, and soon a purple meteor streaked across the dazzling Milky Way and fell down.

It was a longsword with a dragon's head and a blade, with towering dragon wings extending from both ends of the hilt. An aura of destruction swept across the sky, and a giant dragon had condensed at the top, its eyes wide open as if about to roar.

"Nurtured for sixty years and refined with so many precious materials, it's still a bit short of being a true divine artifact. Hopefully, this trip to the Crimson Plane will yield some results."

Upon recalling the Purple Dragon Sword, Xu Tianxi's demeanor changed. A purple galaxy seemed to flow slowly in the depths of his eyes, and a long-lost killing intent was released from within him, causing the vast ocean to change color and the sky to be filled with purple clouds.

"Father, so you practice your martial arts here? My brother and I have missed you so much." A clear female voice suddenly rang out, filled with surprise.

Xu Tianxi's killing intent suddenly dissipated into nothingness. He sheathed the Purple Dragon Sword at his waist, turned around, and smiled, "Yes, Little Xue'er, your father misses you both very much."

Before my eyes, a light rain fell like butter. A girl in a snow-white dress held an umbrella and waved to the distance. Her hand holding the umbrella was as white as jade. She smiled brightly, revealing two small dimples.

Her long, silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her delicate, flawless face bore a four- or five-point resemblance to Meng Hongchen. A faint vertical line creased her brow, and her azure eyes were exceptionally clear, clean, and bright.

Xue Hongchen, daughter of Xu Tianxi and Meng Hongchen, is the sixth among all their offspring, only older than Xu Wenxian. She awakened a mutated martial soul, the Ice and Fire Divine Eyes, and inherited the method of fusing ice and fire from the same source. She was born with three eyes, and her elemental affinity is even no less than that of Xu Wenxian.

"You really miss your sister, but you might not miss me. Alas, life is hard for men..."

On the shore, a silver-haired youth who looked four or five parts like Xu Tianxi and two or three parts like Xiao Hongchen sighed and shook his head repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi raised his eyelids and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Wushuang, it has been a long time since we, father and son, have met. How about we have a match so that I can see how well you have cultivated your Xuanwu Martial Soul and Three-Legged Golden Toad?"

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired youth, Xu Tianxi's second son Xu Wushuang, immediately felt his eyelids twitch, fanned himself with his palms like a windmill, and said with a fawning smile:

"How could that be? Dad, you know me. I never challenge people who are far stronger than me. I'm not like my uncles who deserve a beating."

"Heh, you've been close to your eldest uncle and second uncle since you were little. They really adore your twin martial souls and dream of having two divine beast martial souls like you."

Xu Tianxi glanced at Xu Wushuang and said with great interest.

"Hehehe, it's all thanks to your great abilities and my mother's hard work; otherwise, where would I be?" Xu Wushuang waved his hands in front of him, humbly indicating that it was not his achievement.

Xu Tianxi's smile froze instantly, a dark line twitched between his brows, and he felt an urge to clean house.

"You little brat, you're asking for it! You even dare to joke about your own mother!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen, who had just arrived, turned red with anger. Her anger, one of the seven emotions, erupted like a volcano, and she threw a punch from afar, causing the air to explode violently.

"Oh dear, Mother, please have mercy! Our Xu family still needs me to carry on the family line..."

Xu Wushuang clutched his head and ran, yelling as he went. The Xuanwu Shield activated, making him move across the sea as if it were flat ground, as swift as the wind. At first glance, he was quite the handsome young man. "Your mother's surname is Hongchen, not Xu! Your sister's surname is Hongchen! How could I have given birth to such an infuriating brat like you? You've been corrupted by your uncle! Damn it, I'll beat up your uncle too!"

Meng Hongchen's face was full of the desire of an old mother to beat her son; there was no pity in her eyes, only resentment towards her son and older brother.

Seeing this, Xu Tianxi chuckled and casually pointed, causing layers of spatial barriers to descend from the sky, blocking Xu Wushuang's path and frightening him to turn pale.

"Dad, why do you always side with Mom? I'm your son too..."

“Your mother is right. Seeing you like this reminds me of your eldest and second uncles. They deserve a beating, they really deserve a beating.” Xu Tianxi pouted.

When Xu Wushuang awakened his martial soul at the age of six, he showed signs of bloodline reversion, just like Xiao Hongchen. Instead of awakening the Zhu Qingbing Toad like Meng Hongchen, he awakened the Three-Legged Golden Toad like Xiao Hongchen, as well as Xu Tianxi's Xuanwu Shield.

Despite possessing unique aptitude and the same innate level 20 soul power, his strength is inferior to Xu Wutian's due to the age difference.

In the eyes of Xiao Hongchen and Xu Sanshi, these two powerful figures were simply the people they had always dreamed of. The grown-up Xu Wutian was quickly abandoned by them, and they turned to cultivate a relationship with this second nephew/niece. Xu Wushuang could truly be said to have been raised in the arms of these two.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." Despite Xu Tianxi's teachings and high hopes for his second son, he was ultimately influenced by those two, almost failing to inherit their best qualities and becoming the greatest scourge of Mingdu.

In a sense, Xu Tianxi's rapid development of the first habitable planet, which he named Hongchen Star, was not only to launch his grand project in the starry sky and to make Meng Hongchen happy, but also to send this little guy away from his mother planet as soon as possible.

"My brother always makes Mom angry. Dad, should I help Mom get revenge and teach him a lesson?"

Xue Hongchen inherited Meng Hongchen's surname "Hongchen" and her quirky and mischievous nature. Her eyes sparkled with a sly smile, and she loved to prank her older brother.

This is probably a kind of inheritance.

"Alright, you're far inferior to him in strength, but you can still have some fun." Xu Tianxi nodded and chuckled.

"Understood." Xue Hongchen squinted and chuckled. The third vertical eye between her brows opened, and alternating blue and red halos swirled and brewed, quickly reflecting a deep pool resembling the Yin-Yang symbol of ice and fire, evolving into the shape of Tai Chi.

"Yin-Yang Instant Prison Realm!" Xue Hongchen shouted, and the spirit of a giant Yin-Yang bird circled around her body. Xu Wushuang, who was trying to run away, suddenly stumbled. Two-colored energies, like ocean waves, surged from all directions, binding his hands and feet like chains, invading his body, dissolving his soul power, and making him unable to move for a moment.

Undoubtedly, this is a powerful soul skill in a similar field, activated instantly, with no one able to escape.

"Little sister, you tricked me again! I'm not taking you out to play anymore! Ouch..."

Xu Wushuang screamed as she struggled to break free from the energy tide, because in that instant, Meng Hongchen had already arrived, raising her delicate fists to strike, each punch carrying the love of a mother.

"You dare! In our Hongchen family tradition, it's always the younger sister who tricks her older brother. If you dare ignore your sister, I'll go back and deal with your uncle!"

At this moment, Meng Hongchen practically equated Xu Wushuang with Xiao Hongchen, and that wasn't entirely wrong.

Because of the name Xu Wushuang, which sounds rather childish, it was even suggested by Xiao Hongchen. Every time Meng Hongchen sees Xu Wushuang, she feels like she's back in the past.

"Oh dear, why is my life so miserable? My uncle was right, my little sister's best age is always when she's still young and chubby, then she's the easiest to bully..."

Xu Wushuang cried out, deflecting Meng Hongchen's attacks from different angles, demonstrating top-notch defensive capabilities.

"Damn it! Father, don't stop me, I'm going to teach him a lesson too." Xu Wushuang's words successfully drew attention again. Xue Hongchen rolled up his snow-white sleeves, leaped into the air, and rushed to the battlefield like lightning.

"Brother, explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by 'it's easiest to bully a little sister when she's chubby'?"

“My whole family went, it doesn’t seem right for me not to go…” Xu Tianxi stroked his chin, his eyes darting around, looking for an opportunity to make his move.

Soon, Xu Wushuang's screams became much more realistic.

"What are you doing here, Dad? We should be on the same side," Xu Wushuang exclaimed.

Xu Tianxi laughed heartily: "It's raining, so I might as well beat the child since I'm bored anyway; it's rare for me to spend time with your mother, so I think this is quite meaningful. Come on, let's see your self-fusion martial soul technique..."

"No, my self-fusion skill only has a 50% fusion rate, how dare I use it in front of you..."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Out of all my brothers and sisters, you're the most mischievous one."

"Waaah, it's my eldest uncle and second uncle who led me astray, they're the ones who bear all the responsibility..."

Xu Wushuang betrayed his two unreliable elders, which earned him a new beating.

"Stop talking nonsense. In a few years, I'll be going out to find people to fight. You'll have to come with me then. Consider this a practice run to get beaten up!"
