Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 79 Capturing a 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beast

In the tranquil Sun and Moon Valley, the violent explosion shook the chopsticks out of the high priest's hand. He turned to look in the direction of the arena and sighed helplessly.

The high priest had no idea how many times this had happened. A few days ago, he had personally witnessed Xu Mingxi successfully merge the moonlight and starlight. Although he didn't know what Xu Mingxi was planning, at least he could live a peaceful life for a while.

To his surprise, Xu Mingxi started trying to manipulate the fused light points again, wanting to transform them into various shapes, as if she wanted to apply them in actual combat.

Manipulating the two energies to merge them into a large quantity and form a creation required far more mental effort than merging a single starlight and moonlight. The high priest's ears were once again filled with the sound of explosions.

Xu Mingxi was sitting cross-legged in the arena, chewing on the dry bread that the high priest had given her, her hands outstretched, carefully manipulating the starlight and moonlight not far away.

Golden and silver light spots intertwined and slowly merged into a network of interwoven gold and silver light spots. Xu Mingxi carefully manipulated the large number of gold and silver light spots to gather and form the shape of a rope.

"call."

As soon as Xu Mingxi relaxed her guard, she saw the golden and silver ropes shatter instantly, turning into tiny specks that dissipated in the air. Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Almost a year and a half has passed since he started working on the second stage. He has finally managed to combine and apply moonlight and starlight, but this application is too mentally taxing and can only be used at crucial moments.

That's enough. Xu Mingxi had experimented with it, and the creation formed by the interwoven gold and silver light spots combined the speed of starlight with the suppleness of moonlight. Temporarily trapping one of the soul beasts was definitely not a problem.

After a short rest, Xu Mingxi manipulated a beam of sunlight to shoot out and strike the solid ice sealing the entrance to the two soul beast lairs.

Over the past year and a half, Yangyanwu and Hanyueniao had long since grown tired of the explosions Xu Mingxi made all the time, so they sealed the cave entrance with thick ice. This was the only way to wake them up.

The Yangyan Crow seemed to harbor resentment at being disturbed, and as soon as it flew out of the cave, it spewed a mouthful of flames at Xu Mingxi. The Hanyue Bird circled in the air, waiting for its chance.

After tormenting each other for a year and a half, and fighting countless times, the two sides were already familiar with each other's methods and attack patterns. The two soul beasts flew in the air, waiting for Xu Mingxi to make the first move.

Xu Mingxi naturally wouldn't be polite to them; it was he who needed to pass the test. His Star Crown Martial Soul appeared, his fifth soul ring lit up, and a large amount of starlight gathered around him. His third soul ring lit up, and the starlight transformed into threads, surrounding Yang Yanwu from all directions.

After fighting for so long, he also discovered that Yangyanwu was stronger, but it didn't like to dodge; it preferred to destroy all his attacks.

As expected, flames shot out from Yang Yanwu's body, igniting the starlight threads. Xu Mingxi manipulated the ignited threads to dissipate as starlight, and then reassembled into new threads to encircle and suppress the enemy.

This was a test for the two soul beasts. The Frost Moon Bird wouldn't just stand by and watch. It unleashed a breath of cold light that seemed to freeze everything. Xu Mingxi's left arm emitted a red glow, and the sun in the sky became even brighter. The Yang Yan Crow's aura surged, but the Frost Moon Bird's aura suddenly contracted.

Of the two soul skills provided by the 100,000-year-old Fire Lizard Soul Bone, one is the powerful Blazing Sun Cannon, and the other is called Sunny Day. Using sunlight in this environment greatly enhances both speed and power.

The Blazing Sun Cannon materialized in front of him and shot directly at the Frost Moon Bird, followed closely by a rope interwoven with gold and silver.

The rope shot out from the smoke and dust generated by the collision of the two energy cannons, and before the Frost Moon Bird could react, it was already beside it, spiraling upwards and trapping it, causing it to fall to the ground.

Yang Yanwu realized it had been tricked. This despicable human was targeting its beautiful wife, whose flames were surging. As a follower of the Sun God, the clear sky bestowed a great blessing upon it. It let out a cry towards the sky, its body covered in flames, and swooped down towards Xu Mingxi. The intense heat of the flames seemed to distort the surrounding air.

They've taken the bait. Xu Mingxi's lips curled up slightly. The Cold Moon Bird is cautious and likes to dodge and avoid, while the Sun Flame Crow has a fiery temper and prefers to face its enemies head-on. To capture them both in a short time, the only way is to make the Sun Flame Crow come to him.

On the Star Crown, the seventh spirit ring lit up directly, and a huge phantom of the Star Crown appeared. Xu Mingxi's aura surged, and he unleashed his full power.

The sixth spirit ring lit up, and the moonlight, like willow catkins, swept towards Yangyanwu, slightly weakening the flames around it. The moonlight condensed into lines and surrounded it from all directions.

Yang Yanwu was not going to back down. A golden flame flashed in its golden pupils, burning all the surrounding moonlight threads.

But the moonlight threads kept coming in waves, seemingly endless, and the small bursts of Yangyanwu were ultimately limited, eventually getting surrounded.

Sweat poured down Xu Mingxi's face as he stared intently at Yang Yanwu, who was trapped in the encirclement. He was currently maintaining the golden and silver ropes while manipulating the moonlight, which was taking a huge toll on his mental energy.

The three were locked in a stalemate, but in the end, Yang Yanwu's flame shield weakened, and Xu Mingxi seized the opportunity, wrapping the shield around him with moonlight threads.

"Finally, we made it."

The moment the silver threads enveloped the Yangyan Crow, they shattered instantly, and the two soul beasts flew back into the air. Looking down at Xu Mingxi, who was lying unconscious, a hint of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

Although they only used less than 20% of their strength, it is already quite remarkable that a Soul Douluo could achieve this.

The high priest emerged from the void, placed a pill into Xu Mingxi's mouth, and looked at the two soul beasts in the air. Seeing them nod, a smile involuntarily appeared on his stiff face beneath the mask.

He's already overcome the most difficult part of the second stage, so the rest shouldn't be too much of a problem for him. It seems his mission is truly about to be accomplished.

The pill transformed into gentle energy that nourished Xu Mingxi's body, and after a short while, he woke up from his coma.

The Yangyanwu and Hanyueniao had already returned to their nest, only the High Priest remained, reaching out to pull Xu Mingxi up.

"High Priest, have I passed?"

Xu Mingxi looked at the High Priest nervously. Although he believed he had passed, he was still somewhat worried because he had not received official recognition.

He felt a sense of relief when he saw the high priest nod, and he plopped down on the ground. All he wanted to do now was get a good night's sleep; the past two years had been too torturous.

The medicine-pounding rabbit suddenly appeared from some corner and jumped into Xu Mingxi's arms. The healing light shone on Xu Mingxi, making him groan with pleasure.

Then, upon hearing the high priest's sudden laughter, she awkwardly covered her mouth.
