—------------------—
The first time Xu Tianxi activated his martial soul's true form against the enemy, his figure quickly disappeared, and in its place was replaced by a silver vertical eye shining with a rose-gold halo, which released earth-shaking mental power fluctuations, stopping the waves and making the Sea Princess change color.
Xu Xiaoyun, Kong Deming and Tongtian Bazu were also not vague. They flew out and stood on each side. They locked the Sea Princess with their aura, cutting off her retreat and also cutting off the retreat of the mermaid clan.
I have come here to bring about a killing spree today. I will not stop until all the enemies are annihilated, and there will be no room for future troubles!
Suddenly, thousands of full moons descended from the sky, the clear sky turned into night, the blue ocean turned silver, and the sea princess's face became even paler.
She saw with her own eyes that her people were trapped by the moonlight and turned into silver sculptures, and their life breath and mental strength all began to solidify.
And she...was powerless.
He used his power to raise his eyes and sent down a beam of spiritual light that penetrated the sky and the earth, heading straight for the Sea Princess's body.
The moment she saw the beam of light, the Sea Princess felt as if she had been abandoned and stripped away by the most important fate in the world. It was a mysterious feeling that was hard to explain, but it really existed.
The tribesmen were unable to help her form a formation, and her two daughters who had cultivated for 100,000 years were also captured by the extreme Douluo-level combat power of the three marauding formations. Sea Princess had no choice but to drag her broken body to fight.
A long, tired and weak song came out of her throat, drawing the energy of the ocean to defend the sea princess against the enemy. It was the mermaid polyphony that the sea princess was most proud of in her life, which could increase her spiritual power exponentially in a short period of time.
Coupled with the overlapping impact of mental waves, even an Extreme Douluo would not dare to underestimate it.
However, the Sea Princess was no longer the Sea Princess she used to be. The substantial mermaid's polyphonic sound waves resisted the vertical eye light beam, but they were crushed in less than a few breaths. The Sea Princess's body was struck by lightning and flew out violently.
Her body quickly became illusory, like a piece of broken delicate porcelain, and a desperate smile appeared on her face.
"If I were in my prime, your method would not have easily defeated me. I can sense the essence of my spirit in your power. You humans are truly despicable!"
As early as after she was defeated, her 600,000-year-old spiritual origin was forcibly stripped away by Tongtian Bazu. It was not just a damage to the foundation, but a forced destruction of the foundation.
Over the past two years, she has only had a brief respite, but in reality her mental state has long since deteriorated and her strength has been constantly draining away. If this continues, she will die before the seventh heavenly tribulation.
Her soul power is still intact, but for a spiritual soul beast like her, the meaning of intact soul power is not very great, because in the ocean, there is the infinite power of the sea to replace the role of soul power, and the most important thing to mobilize the power of the ocean is spiritual power.
In the collision with Xu Tianxi, she was defeated very quickly. The enemy who attacked her seemed not to be a small seven-ring human, but the terrifying evil-eyed tyrant overlord on land, whose power of one blow could change time and space.
Even in her heyday, she might not have been able to gain an advantage, but she would never admit it.
"You were the ones who came to me to seek death. You dared to attack my dragon clan. Can't I attack you?"
Tongtian Bazu roared angrily upon hearing this, and chopped down with his palm, just like he had shattered the body of the Sea Princess in the past, directly shattering the Sea Princess's body into foam all over the sky.
When the mermaids saw their leader in dire straits, they moaned in despair and pain, praying for the coming of the Lord of the Sea.
"Lord Sea God, your most loyal servant is facing a life-or-death crisis in the lower realm. If you can see this, please bring down divine punishment on these ignorant enemies..."
The mermaid princesses Regent and Liya sang hymns in the language of soul beasts and prayed to the sky.
"The Lord is here, and you still dare to ask for help from the Sea God at this time? You are courting death!"
Di Tian couldn't stand hearing such words the most. He swung his arms, and the dark dragon claws hung in the air, breaking through the water and falling, directly killing the two mermaid sisters, smashing their bodies, extracting their souls, and handing them over to Gu Yuena.
"Master, you have been in need of research materials recently, so these two scums are handed over to you." Di Tian said seriously.
"Okay." Gu Yuena nodded with an indifferent expression and took away the souls of the two mermaids.
She is responsible for communicating with Electrolux about the research on artificial soul technology. Currently, the research has reached the level of ten thousand year souls and is currently researching the higher level of one hundred thousand year souls. This step requires some materials.
In the more than two years since the establishment of Heaven, many old, weak, sick, and dying ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have been sent to Heaven and joined the eternal life system.
This provided Electrolux and Gu Yuena with ample research material. The two god-level powerhouses took action and quickly thoroughly studied its essence.
But the hundred thousand year souls are different. Most of the hundred thousand year soul beasts are arrogant and proud. There are very few exceptions like the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. They still want to fight on their own and are unwilling to be souls until they are defeated. So Electrolux and Gu Yuena can only find those core members of the Heavenly Court to study.
As time goes by, more materials are needed, but the soul beasts on the Douluo Continent are not easy to take. After all, they all nominally respect Gu Yuena as the leader of the soul beasts, at least Gu Yuena herself thinks so.
The ocean soul beasts don't have this concern, especially the Sea Princess clan who actually dared to follow the Sea God Island to force the Tongtian Baxia clan. They are definitely the Sea God's lackeys. It would be a bargain for them to capture them all and use them as experimental materials!
Xu Tianxi also had this purpose in bringing Gu Yuena here. If the advancement of soul technology always requires the sacrifice of some soul beasts, then these marine soul beasts can be put to good use. Whoever helps the Sea God will be killed by him. The Sea Princess's clan is their mortal enemy.
If the research goes smoothly, the souls of the two hundred thousand year old mermaids can be transformed into hundred thousand year old souls in the future, and their value can be fully utilized and turned into the foundation of the Heavenly Court.
After witnessing her two daughters being killed by Di Tian and their souls being sucked away, the Sea Princess, who had regained her body, was in excruciating pain and wailed continuously.
"You are slaughtering the people of the Sea God like this. He will definitely punish you with divine punishment! He definitely will..."
Xu Tianxi sneered in his heart, but did not argue much. The moonlight in the sky pressed down on the mermaid. The boundless moonlight poured down, causing the sky and the earth to change color and the blue sea to crack. After sealing most of the mermaids, he concentrated his strength to attack the dying sea princess.
The siege on the Sea Princess did not last long. As the fifth ray of light descended from the vertical eye and pierced through her body, the Sea Princess's body did not condense again.
Her pupils dilated and became lifeless, and she murmured, "Lord Sea God, why don't you come to save us? Why don't you come to save us?"
"Shua"
After retracting his spirit form, Xu Tianxi put his hands behind his back, walked leisurely from mid-air to the front of the Sea Princess, and repeated what he had said to the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord.
"You are about to die. If you have any last words, please leave them as soon as possible. I will take them to the Sea God for you."
The Sea Princess raised her heavy eyelids and murmured, "Can you please... spare... my people... They... are... innocent..."
She was about to die, and a wave of regret flooded her heart. In the past, she followed the others to force the Tongtian Baxia clan, and she was severely injured and her future was cut off. Now she died, and she didn't know what miserable end the clan members would have.
Xu Tianxi looked at her in surprise and said coldly, "You are the patriarch of the Sea Princess clan. The victors are kings and the losers are bandits. You have cultivated for 600,000 years, don't you even understand this?"
He couldn't use unity against his enemies, otherwise how could he protect his own interests? To expand himself often meant swallowing up the interests of his enemies.
Even for the purpose of intimidating other sea soul beasts, he would not keep the Sea Princess's clan.
What we want is to let all the sea soul beasts know that helping the Sea God will not end well, and the Sea God and the Sea God Island do not even have the ability to protect their subordinates!
"You..." Sea Princess felt a chill in her heart after being rejected by Xu Tianxi. Then she smiled miserably, not knowing whether she was mocking herself or her enemy.
Yes, she is the clan leader of the Sea Princess' clan, but now it seems as if she has harmed her own daughter with her own hands. Her clan has encountered an invincible enemy, and their inheritance has been cut off from now on. She can only swallow all the bitter fruits by herself.
"Swish!"
Xu Tianxi pierced the Sea Princess' chest with a sword. The Sea Princess's eyes quickly lost their luster and her body became illusory, as if it would disappear at any time.
At the last moment of her life, she seemed to remember something and murmured, "I regret not listening to the Xue Di..."
"boom--"
When the Sea Princess fell, a huge soul ring slowly rose up. It was the same red soul ring as the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's, decorated with six golden rays.
"Please help me protect the Dharma."
Xu Tianxi bowed to those around him, sat down cross-legged in the air, used his mind to draw the Sea Princess's soul ring to his body, and began to absorb it.
The process of absorbing the Sea Princess's soul ring was not too difficult. After all, its most powerful spiritual origin had been taken away.
The impact of the soul power accumulated over 600,000 years was indeed huge, but for Xu Tianxi, who had a strong body, pure soul power, and a spiritual soul core to protect his body, this pressure was not difficult to endure.
About an hour later, Xu Tianxi stood up steadily and exhaled a breath of fresh air.
"It's done."
Under his feet, there was already a new round of soul rings above the seven soul rings, indicating that he had officially stepped into the realm of eight-ringed Soul Douluo, and his cultivation had taken another big step forward.
"Okay, okay! Hahahaha..."
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyun and Kong Deming clapped their hands and laughed. Xu Tianxi was only eighteen years old, but he had already reached the level of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo. This age and this record were unprecedented in the history of Douluo Continent, and there would be unlimited possibilities in the future!
Xu Tianxi smiled in response and then asked Tong Tianbazu beside him, "Grand Master, what part of the Sea Princess's soul bone is this?"
Tongtian Bazu smiled slightly and held out a piece of beautiful soul bone that was shining brightly. The streamlined structure looked smooth and clear, and the rich spiritual light and shadow were intoxicating. Just by seeing it, Xu Tianxi felt happy and refreshed.
"Six hundred thousand head soul bones, that's unprecedented in human history, right? After absorbing it, apart from certain places or powerful individuals related to the gods, no one in this world will be able to suppress you spiritually."
Tongtian Bazu said leisurely.
"I would also like to thank Grand Master for his help, otherwise I would not have such an opportunity."
Xu Tianxi clasped his fists and thanked Tongtian Bazu, his face full of joy. He took the soul bone and was about to start mobilizing his mental power to absorb it.
Just as Tongtian Bazu said, unless it is an existence like the Evil Emperor, or the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had not had its soul power sucked away, there is almost no soul bone stronger than hers in this Douluo plane.
At this time, Di Tian's voice came to my ears again. He laughed and suggested in an instigating tone:
"One day when you are free, go to the Demonic Forest of your Sun-Moon Empire. I am looking forward to seeing what state you will be in after fighting with that old evil eye."
Xu Tianxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently, "I will definitely not let Di Tian down."
