Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 451 The Mad Beast King

The familiar voice rang in Wu Xuan's ears again, "Sixth Trial of the Wind God, Yin and Yang complement each other, adversity turns to prosperity! Completed. Reward: All soul rings' age increased by 10,000 years, Wind God affinity increased by 20%, total affinity increased by 50%."

"The Seventh Trial of the Wind God, the Battle of Kings, Objective: Kill the strongest being on the Meteor Dragon Continent, the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird! Time Limit: One year."

"Just as I expected!" Wu Xuan clenched his fists meaningfully. This had nothing to do with the seventh trial of the Wind God, and it was exactly what he wanted to do! The reason was simple: there wasn't a single soul beast on the entire Douluo Star that could match his wind element martial soul as well as the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird.

As the strongest among soul beasts, such as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King ten thousand years ago and the Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest today, they are not so easy to deal with. If you want to kill the Yin Yang Chaos Bird, there will be a tough battle to follow.

"Wu Xuan! You really succeeded!!" Wang Qiu'er stared at Wu Xuan with wide, unblinking eyes, filled with shock. This was a Yin-Yang complementary second soul core! In the entire history of the soul beast race, only Uncle Di Tian had ever achieved this. Moreover, he had barely succeeded by relying on the power of his bloodline and the vast life energy of the Lake of Life for nearly three years.

She couldn't understand how Wu Xuan could have accomplished this so easily in just six months!

Wu Xuan smiled and said, "It was just luck. I owe my success to the treasure that my teacher gave me before." As soon as he finished speaking, his powerful soul force erupted, and all the dust that had been scattered around him was shaken away. His black hair was once again draped over his shoulders, making him look quite dashing.

Wu Xuan twisted his body slightly, and immediately his bones made a crisp cracking sound, a faint sense of powerlessness spreading out.

Wu Xuan didn't care about this feeling of powerlessness. With a thought, his powerful soul force surged out from his dantian like a tide and flowed through his meridians. Instantly, a feeling of abundant power filled Wu Xuan's entire body.

"Here, here's your divine core back." Wang Qiu'er tossed the Wind Dragon King's divine core to Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan took the divine core, looked Wang Qiu'er up and down, and a look of surprise appeared on his lips. "Not bad! Level 79 soul power?"

"Of course! But the increase in soul power is secondary. The main thing is the improvement in bloodline level. After being nourished by the original bloodline within the Wind Dragon King's divine core, I am no longer just a Golden Dragon Bloodline, but a true Golden Dragon Girl." Wang Qiu'er said with great joy.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan paused for a moment, then asked the question he was most concerned about, "So, are you human or a soul beast now?"

Wang Qiu'er rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Of course I'm human! Imperial beasts only have one chance to choose their identity in their lifetime, and I chose to become human, so I can never go back!!"

"Why can't the chosen one of humanity choose to switch identities?" Wu Xuan murmured softly, then turned his gaze toward the exit outside the abyss.

"Wu Xuan, what did you just say?" Wang Qiu'er looked at Wu Xuan in surprise.

"It's nothing. I've been in seclusion for so long, it's time to go out. Besides, it's time for me to acquire my ninth soul ring." Wu Xuan took a deep breath and said slowly.

The ninth spirit ring! Wang Qiu'er knew without a doubt what Wu Xuan would choose for his ninth spirit ring; there was no other choice but the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird.

"go!"

With a light touch of his toes, Wu Xuan soared into the air, transforming into a long rainbow that hurtled towards the top of the abyss with unstoppable momentum.

Half a year has passed since Wu Xuan went into seclusion on the Meteor Dragon Continent. For powerful beast kings, half a year is but a fleeting moment, barely enough to be remembered. However, this period has changed the entire continent's landscape, as the aura of Emperor Chifeng, who had dominated the continent for nearly ten thousand years, has vanished.

The disappearance of his aura can only be explained by one thing: he has perished.

The fall of the second strongest member of the Soul Beast race drove the Beast Kings mad. The appearance of the Chifeng Qilin was like a firework, rising abruptly into the sky without warning or preparation, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance. He appeared suddenly, his unparalleled strength plunging the Soul Beasts into despair. No Soul Beast didn't want to know the secret behind Chifeng Emperor's rapid growth, and even while Chifeng Qilin was alive, many Soul Beasts secretly watched.

But now, the king who had loomed over all the beasts has fallen. Ambition need no concealment; one beast king after another traveled thousands of miles to Hurricane Canyon, all vying for the opportunity left behind by the Gale Kirin and the chance to ascend to the heavens in one step. Thus, these beast kings gathered in Hurricane Canyon naturally split into two factions: one side comprised of dragon soul beasts, and the other, dragon blood soul beasts. To seize this heaven-defying opportunity, the two sides fought fiercely, turning Hurricane Canyon into a meat grinder; in the first few days, soul beasts were dying almost every minute.

Until a true beast king fell! At that moment, the beast kings, blinded by bloodlust, finally came to their senses. They learned to negotiate.

With mutual compromise, the battle ended, and the beast kings entered Hurricane Canyon in batches according to their strength.

But then, a scene that enraged the beasts unfolded: a towering tornado roared through the Hurricane Canyon, its presence an insurmountable chasm that blocked the advance of the beast kings. One powerful beast king after another tried to break through the hurricane's barrier, but without exception, they were all suppressed on the spot by the towering tornado, with the weaker ones even perishing instantly.

These beast kings finally faced reality: this was a force they could not contend with. Aside from the continent's strongest being, the Yin-Yang Venerable, no one could use it in the short term. However, the Yin-Yang Venerable's last appearance was ten thousand years ago when he fought the Qilin Hengya, and he had vanished since. If it weren't for the lingering pressure of the Venerable's power, the beast kings would likely have already perished.

As time passed, the tornado that enveloped the entire Hurricane Canyon showed no signs of weakening; on the contrary, it seemed to be gaining strength.

This filled all the beast kings with despair.

In just a few short months, the battlefield, once hailed as a meat grinder for soul beasts, was completely deserted, with not a single soul beast left. But the devastation, the almost dark red soil, told people just how fierce the battle had been.

"clang!"

The dragon claw and the silver knife collided violently with terrifying force, sparks flying. The owner of the dragon claw was obviously weak, and his body was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground. His face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood, but he had no time to care about his internal injuries. His eyes were still fixed on the yellowish-brown bone in the man's hand, and his eyes were much bloodshot.

"Tsk tsk, Lin Yu, you mere Soul King dares to snatch this Soul Bone from me? You really don't take my Nine-Ring Silver Blade seriously, do you?" The man held the silver blade and brazenly stuffed the Soul Bone into his pocket.

"Ling Guang, you shameless bastard! I clearly discovered this soul bone first. If you dare to forcibly take it, my Lin family will not let you get away with it!" the man roared, clutching his chest.

"Come on, Lin Yu, so what if you found out? I could have said I saw it first. Go ahead and call your elders. Do you really think I'm afraid of your Lin family?" The man named Ling Guang said arrogantly.

Lin Yu's face turned from green to purple, then back to green again. Dragon Shadow City was indeed not something their Wind Dragon City could afford to provoke. Finally, all his resentment turned into a sigh, and Lin Yu and his family slunk away. Who could he blame but himself for being outmatched?

"Congratulations, Master Guang! You've acquired another treasure for our Dragon Shadow City!" The young masters of Dragon Shadow City cheered instantly.

"Hahaha! You flatter me, everyone!" Ling Guang humbly clasped his hands in a fist salute, his previous arrogance gone.

This is also a unique feature of the Meteor Dragon Continent. Due to the immense external pressure, the geniuses within each city-state are very united.

High in the sky, figures stood motionless on the clouds, silently observing the scenes below. This place was abhorrent and sorrowful for the soul beasts, for countless of their kind had perished here. But for the human race, it was an immense opportunity. The coveted soul bones might be buried somewhere, but these high-ranking members, especially the Title Douluo, dared not easily venture forth. They were the pillars of their respective city-states; their fall would mean the destruction of their families. Therefore, this place had become a training ground for the younger generations of the six great families.

"That brat!" Watching Ling Guang put another soul bone into his pocket, Wang Hong, the Lord of Dragon Shadow City, couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, Old Ghost Wang, it seems your Dragon Shadow City's strength has increased several times over since annexing Dragon Centipede Territory. Even that kid Ling Guang has become a Soul Emperor thanks to the resources he's accumulated." A blue-haired man beside him seemed to be congratulating him, but the jealousy in his eyes was barely concealed. How could the Wang family so easily defeat the Beast King of Dragon Centipede Territory? This was what the other five major families couldn't understand the most.

"Old ghost Lin, if you're not as skilled as others, don't be so sour. My nephew's talent is obvious to all, okay? Over the years, which junior has been more talented than him? Don't spout nonsense with your eyes wide open. I've personally witnessed how hard my nephew has cultivated; he almost lost his life in the process. Sometimes, when you're not as skilled as others, you should look for the reasons within yourself. Has your soul power increased over the years? Have you been cultivating diligently? Okay!"

"You!!!" The blue-haired man was so angry that he almost fell backward.

The remaining four family heads exchanged glances, their hearts filled with envy. When would they be able to walk with such a brisk pace and speak with such ease, like this old Wang?
