—------------------—
Retreat and practice is a big deal. Xu Tianxi walked straight into the underground practice room of the Heavenly Palace, set up many restrictions, and then opened the door to the undead demiplane and entered an absolutely safe different space.
In life, safety comes first.
Tang San's consciousness, which had been trapped more than two years ago, had given up resistance at some point and fell to the ground. His body was as illusory as a bubble, and his expression was as hopeless as ever. He allowed Electrolux to do whatever he wanted and cast down gray halos.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
Xu Tianxi greeted Electrolux, found a secluded place to sit cross-legged, and released the soul ring from the soul ring storage.
In an instant, a blood-red halo shot up into the sky. The Purple-Robed Dragon Lord had not been forcibly stripped of his origin during his lifetime. This blood-red soul ring was even larger than the Ice Emperor's soul ring. The six golden rays engraved on it showed his profound cultivation. The light pierced through the sky, resembling a giant dragon.
Seeing this, Xu Tianxi's expression became much more serious, unlike when he absorbed the Sea Princess's soul ring. He held his breath and concentrated his mind, releasing the Purple Black Tortoise Shield and slowly pulling it over with his outstanding mental power.
Suddenly, a powerful and domineering aura wrapped in tremendous soul power hit Xu Tianxi's body. From the skin to the blood, bones and even internal organs, the pressure was transmitted layer by layer, swift and domineering.
"As expected of a 600,000-year spirit ring, it's quite powerful!"
Xu Tianxi praised in his heart, and used his holistic mind to fight against the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's spiritual will that had not yet dissipated. In the airspace of the undead demiplane, there seemed to be a divine figure under the moon colliding with the purple dragon.
The fluctuations of light and flame attracted attention, attracting the attention of both Electrolux and Tang San.
Electrolux smiled and looked very happy.
Tang San's eyes widened, feeling a sense of unreality.
That was a soul ring produced by a 600,000-year-old ferocious beast. How could it be absorbed by someone and become the seventh soul ring?
When I was still at the Quasi-Soul Saint stage, the soul rings attached to the two martial souls were only a little over a hundred thousand years old. The Ant King soul ring of the Clear Sky Hammer still underwent a mutation under special circumstances.
With this level of talent, he is indeed the rising star of fortune that I have painstakingly sought. But when will I find him?
Tang San looked at himself with his spiritual sense, unable to escape, and his heart became more and more sad.
The rising star of luck was growing at a terrifying speed, and his spirit ring configuration was far better than his own back then. He had absorbed the spirit rings and spirit bones of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at that time, but it was not the seventh ring.
In terms of cultivation, the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord is second only to the three overlords among the ten ferocious beasts. His race has powerful talents, dragon bloodline plus the dual attributes of destruction and water. His physical body and destructiveness are extremely terrifying. His combat power at sea is slightly better than that of the Bear Lord.
Therefore, Xu Tianxi called in many masters to surround it, and then forced it into a desperate situation and hunted it down. He also chose to absorb the soul ring and soul bone of the Sea Princess first to enhance his foundation.
Only in this way can he be absolutely sure to digest the impact of the 600,000-year soul ring.
Time passed slowly, and a blood-red mist appeared on Xu Tianxi's body. In the sea of spirituality, the Mountain Dragon King roared.
"open!"
Suddenly, Xu Tianxi felt as if the seal on his torso bones and thoracic vertebrae had been released, and strands of heavy energy overflowed from them and poured into the soul ring.
The pressure brought by the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's soul ring suddenly eased, and Xu Tianxi's cold brows relaxed. He embraced the Yuan and kept One, feeling the strange changes.
In the sea of spirit, Xu Tianxi's spirit body stood shoulder to shoulder with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor, admiring the methods of the Mountain Dragon King.
As waves of brown-gold light sank into the soul ring, a seventh golden light quickly began to condense on the blood-colored soul ring, undergoing a strange transformation.
"Increasing the age of spirit rings, it seems that this guy can do it." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered softly.
The Ice Emperor scolded, "Tian Meng, you are truly shameless. Senior Mountain Dragon King brought about fundamental changes, endowing the spirit ring with new energy properties. You only added energy."
Not far away, Tongtian Xiaobaxia and Silver Moon Dragon Wolf King nodded in unison, their lips curled up in satisfaction, their admiration for the Mountain Dragon King growing even higher.
This is the ability of our Dragon King!
Xu Tianxi patted Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's shoulder, smiled and shook his head to show his comfort.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not argue, but silently shrank his head and used his spiritual power to transmit the message:
"Tianxi, your Sea Princess soul ring is 600,000 years old. Just wait, I will help you turn it into a million years old sooner or later."
"My spiritual essence is quite powerful."
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi looked up at the six remaining light balls of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. He knew that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was not bragging, so he advised:
"There's no need to be so anxious. I haven't adapted to the two soul skills the Sea Princess gave me yet. One is the auxiliary Mermaid Trio, which allows my spiritual soul skills to have a triple effect.
The other is the extremely powerful single-target soul skill, Tears of the Sea. This soul skill has too much explosive power, so don't rush it."
"Why?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was puzzled. He had seen Xu Tianxi and Xu Xiaoyun use the Mermaid Trio during their battle, but he had never seen Canghai Juelei.
Xu Tianxi's expression turned strange. "Because the Soul Skill, Tears of the Sea, can increase its power by burning mental energy, and even life force. If you raise it now, if you can't control it well, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"When I was fighting Ancestor, I had just absorbed the last 100,000-year-old spiritual essence of Sea Princess. My spiritual sea wasn't stable, so how could I use this kind of soul skill?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sucked in a breath of cold air with a hiss and nodded repeatedly. Was the Sea Princess filled with resentment before she died, or what, that she provided such a special soul skill?
"What about the spirit bones? Of her two spirit bone skills, I see you've only used Mermaid Control, which releases the Mermaid Spirit to control your mental skills on your behalf, effectively creating a second clone."
"The mermaid spirit lets you use the Purple Brilliant Black Tortoise Shield while letting her activate your spiritual skills. It only requires one-third of your usual spiritual power. When combined, your combat power doubles."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is very interested in the Sea Princess's skill reserves. Regardless of the consequences of the spiritual soul skills she provides, their effects are extremely great, worthy of being a 600,000-year-old sea soul beast.
Alas, it is another day to lament the racial divide. If he had not been born as an ice silkworm, he would have soared to the sky long ago.
"The second soul bone skill is a massive and powerful group attack soul skill, Ode to the Vast Ocean. It can be both real and imaginary, and its power is unparalleled."
Xu Tianxi pondered for a moment and said, "After activating that soul skill, I will summon the souls of countless mermaids, forming an eternal blue sea of night in my mind. My Phantom Moon Mysterious Pupil's vision will be able to extend to the extreme, leaving a tidal mark on the target from a distance, locking its position. With a thought, it will descend like an ocean, directly breaking through the enemy's spiritual sea."
"Furthermore, this soul skill has the effect of ignoring soul skills such as absolute defense. It can only cause real damage. Anyone who wants to resist must use mental strength to withstand it."
"Ignoring defense and breaking through the sea of spirit? This effect is too..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart trembled. The 600,000-year soul skill provided by the Sea Princess was enough to scare soul beasts to death just by hearing the effect.
Xu Tianxi consoled him, "This is the information I received. I don't know the specific effects either. It might just be that Sea Princess is exaggerating a lot, so it's hard to say for sure."
The feature of ignoring defense sounds very powerful, but in the original book there is another skull that can bring the effect of immunity to mental attacks, and it is immune three times. It was produced by his sister Gu Zhaoqiu, who is now working hard as a blacksmith.
This soul skill can be called the nemesis of all spiritual soul skills. Huo Gua relied on this ability to save his life from the hands of top masters many times, and he is immune to the attacks of the Evil Emperor.
So... whether Sea Princess's soul skill can break through all defenses is still unknown. Xu Tianxi can't use this soul skill to fight Gu Zhaoqiu.
Beating his sister to death is too abstract, and he is not Boss Qiao.
Moreover, this ability originated from the Sea Princess, and might not be effective against some of the Sea God's followers, such as Princess Tang Wang Dong'er. Of course, he didn't want to provoke that woman, and it would be best if everyone kept out of sight and out of mind.
While Xu Tianxi was chatting with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's soul ring in the outside world was about to show the ninth golden light, and the red ring began to turn into gold.
"Little Dragon Turtle, Little Scorpion, come and attack together. Tianxi, concentrate your mind and prepare to face the true form of your martial spirit."
The Mountain Dragon King shouted in a deep voice, and his voice reached the ears of the two ferocious beasts and Xu Tianxi.
"good."
Xu Tianxi, Bingdi, and Tongtian Xiaobaxia all closed their eyes.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched as Ice Emperor and Tongtian Little Tyrant injected original energy into the greatly transformed soul ring of the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord, and exclaimed in amazement.
"Good fellow, Tianxi's second martial soul's true form is equivalent to the essence of the three great souls and the essence of the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord during his lifetime. It's probably stronger than mine..."
But as he thought about it, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became proud again. There is still a difference between the million-year soul ring created by acquired beasts and the innate million-year soul ring. His million-year soul ring only has pure spiritual attributes, which is more suitable.
Luck is also part of strength.
After a while, the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's soul ring turned into gold and gradually stabilized.
Above the undead demiplane, the purple dragon's shadow dissipated and sank into Xu Tianxi's body.
In a moment, the aura emanating from Xu Tianxi rose steadily, and the purple-glorious basalt shield hovering in front of him suddenly flew up, swelled up in the wind, and turned into a terrifying giant beast in the air.
The black tortoise has a turtle body and a dragon tail, and it is overwhelmingly imposing. It flies across the sky, as majestic as a sacred mountain.
The purple dragon opens its eyes, and it seems to be able to swallow up the world. Its unruly and violent purple-black pupils emit an aura of destruction that can shatter space.
Xu Tianxi suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the spirit's true form, and murmured, "The beast form of a top-grade weapon spirit? It's in very good condition."
He stood up, like an ancient giant revived, his breath causing the space to show signs of distortion. With a thought, he pointed to the sky, activating the secret method of the divine beast and the celestial phenomenon, and his spirit was completely united with it.
"Change!" Xu Tianxi shouted.
A magical scene happened to the giant beast in the majestic soul light spot - the Black-armored Divine Turtle and the Purple-glorious Sky-destroying Dragon cleverly separated and differentiated into two different groups of light.
After breaking away from the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon, layers of brown-gold halos were released from the Black-Armored Divine Turtle's body, and it transformed into a new dragon shadow, with a facial and body shape that was exactly the same as that of the Mountain Dragon King.
Xu Tianxi knew that this was the true authentic appearance of the Black Tortoise Martial Soul. The Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon was a mutant, and it always relied on its powerful destructive attribute to suppress the earth attribute of the Black Tortoise Martial Soul.
The Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon separated, spread its wings and roared, not knowing whether it was celebrating its freedom or celebrating its awakening.
Before today, the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon had always been in a dormant state. Xu Tianxi could force it to wake up and use its power, but not completely.
Until today, after absorbing the soul ring essence of the 600,000-year-old Purple-Robed Dragon Lord, this dragon soul that had been nurtured for many years was finally fully awakened and used by Xu Tianxi.
"Since we've already made our separation, why not just not change back for now? Just change your appearance and keep me company."
Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and used his mind to control the materialized martial soul.
Suddenly, the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon underwent a miraculous change. Its wings retracted, its four claws retracted, and its body condensed, transforming into a giant purple-black sword in mid-air. It then quickly shrank and rushed towards Xu Tianxi like a flying sword.
"Zheng~"
Xu Tianxi took the purple-black dragon sword, smiled slightly, and put it on his waist.
In the air, the dark golden basalt transformed and turned back into the shape of a shield, falling back in front of Xu Tianxi, and the true form of the martial spirit dissipated.
"It's finally done."
Looking at the purple sword and black shield in his hand, Xu Tianxi let out a long sigh, and his back straightened up unconsciously, like a sharp spear, and an indomitable aura emanated from his brows.
After today, he had the confidence to face the strongest person in the world.
"Oh, right, there's still one soul bone that hasn't been fused. I remember the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord's Destruction Dragon Claw is extremely powerful. I hope I'm lucky enough."
…
Just as Xu Tianxi counted the Sea Princess's soul skills and thought that these soul skills might be useless to the Sea God's own daughter, a scene that he really didn't want to see was happening in the Haotian Sect.
In the quiet room, Wang Dong'er lay quietly on the Wanzai Xuanbing bed, holding an ice cream with only teeth marks on it in her hand. It seemed that she had not finished eating it.
Niu Tian and Tai Tan stood guard at the entrance of the quiet room, bowed to the statue of Sea God, and said respectfully:
"Third brother, we are incompetent and have never found the child of destiny. Huo Yuhao hasn't discovered his uniqueness. From now on, we can only rely on you."
"Got it. If you can't find another lucky person in the original Douluo Continent, then go to the Sun and Moon Empire to have a look. I will awaken Xiao Qi's memory in advance."
The Sea God's divine consciousness was majestic and awe-inspiring, standing in mid-air. He said, "Once Xiao Qi has fully awakened, you can go out and walk around under the pretext of protecting her. But remember, you must be secretive when you attack."
"yes."
As the voice ended, a sacred and vast pillar of light suddenly fell from the sky of Haotian Sect, reaching the quiet room and enveloping Wang Donger's body.
Niu Tian and Tai Tan lowered their heads and turned away to avoid watching the scene.
After a moment, Wang Dong'er suddenly opened a pair of cold and strong eyes and looked around, as if she was scanning her own territory, with almost no emotion in her eyes.
"Is this the Douluo Continent? What did Dad want me to do here?"
She stood up from the black ice bed and released the Light Goddess Butterfly martial spirit. With every step she took, a spirit ring rose under her feet. The color of the spirit ring was incredible.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, red.
Seven rings, Soul Saint.
