The night gradually deepened.
Only a short one or two hours had passed since the battle that occurred in the Southern Wilderness of the Star Sea Continent, and the news of Hua Xiong Yan's fall had not yet spread. Especially in the four territories of the northern part of the Star Sea Continent.
The Northern Alliance, formed by the four northern territories of the Star Sea Continent, although its land area could not compare to that of the Southern Alliance, had always held the upper hand in the confrontations between the two sides over the past decades.
Because the current lord of the Heavenly Fox Territory within the Northern Alliance was the strongest person on the entire Star Sea Continent. Reputed as the generation's supreme genius with the greatest hope of breaking through to Super Douluo, and perhaps even capable of making history on the Star Sea Continent.
Heavenly Fox Territory, Heavenly Fox City.
The Star Sea Continent did not possess the advanced soul guidance technology of the Douluo Continent, so naturally, there were no convenient soul guidance lamps for daily life. The Heavenly Fox City at midnight was tranquil and peaceful, with only scattered points of light from the noble households.
In the majestic castle complex belonging to the Su family at the center of the city, the central castle stood particularly tall. On the top floor of this castle, in a spacious and luxurious room, bright lamplight flickered.
Each oil lamp was filled with whale oil refined from the corpses of demonic whale-type soul beasts, burning with a strange, deep blue flame. A single drop of demonic whale-type soul beast whale oil could sustain an oil lamp for several years; these lamps were clearly specially made eternal lamps.
Moreover, the burning of the whale oil released a special fragrance that calmed the mind and concentrated the spirit. Even on the Douluo Continent side, it was quite precious.
One could imagine how noble the room's owner must be.
Around the exquisite large bed in the room hung layers of hazy veils, and faintly visible through the veils was a woman with a graceful figure.
This woman appeared to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a white silk long skirt, with silver hair quietly draped behind her. Her peerlessly beautiful face had not a single flaw; at first glance, she gave off a cold and noble impression, but upon closer inspection, beyond the cold nobility, there seemed to be a naturally beguiling charm. It made people unconsciously sink into fascination.
The woman was none other than the current lord of the Heavenly Fox Territory, Su Yuelong. Although her age was much younger than Feng Tianyao's, her soul power cultivation had already reached rank 93. She was the most gifted native in the history of the Star Sea Continent, spanning tens of thousands of years.
At this moment, the silver moon hung high in the night sky outside the south-facing window of the room. The night breeze stirred, causing the deep blue flames of the lamps to sway.
Su Yuelong seemed to sense something and abruptly opened her eyes. They were a pair of clear, deep blue eyes like the vast ocean.
In her line of sight, a black-haired, purple-eyed youth sat quietly on the windowsill, with the softly glowing silver moon behind him. Bathed in moonlight like a silver veil, it further accentuated Xu Zihuang's ethereal temperament.
His profound purple eyes exuded noble dignity, yet also carried the vast depth of the starry sky.
Their gazes met in midair, and Xu Zihuang stood up with a gentle smile.
"Heavenly Fox Territory Lord Su, right."
"Who are you?" Su Yuelong's expression was very cold. Although she was astonished that with her spiritual power realm, she had not sensed Xu Zihuang's presence earlier, her voice remained extremely calm.
"What is your purpose in trespassing into my Heavenly Fox Territory?"
This composure stemmed from her own strength.
"I came here for two matters I wish to confirm with Lord Su. The head soul bone you fused, taken from a true dragon-type soul beast, what kind of true dragon was it from, and where did you obtain it?" Xu Zihuang smiled faintly, showing no intention of concealing his purpose or thoughts.
He had already been here for some time, using the abilities of his Golden Pupils Martial Soul. By observing the fluctuations of Su Yuelong's soul power during cultivation, he had made this firm judgment.
It was indeed the aura of a true dragon soul bone, though the age limit of that soul bone should not be very high.
This time, Su Yuelong could no longer maintain her calm. What Xu Zihuang spoke of was her greatest secret.
Even among the direct line of the Su family, only a very few knew of this inherited secret.
Terrifying soul power pressure erupted from Su Yuelong's body, and one tail after another rapidly rose behind her. Each fluffy white tail was longer than her entire slender figure, swaying menacingly. The tips of the fox tails carried a strange blue-gray hue.
One yellow, three purple, five black, nine soul rings with a configuration beyond conventional understanding flowed down from her delicate body, each encircling one tail, making them appear even more magnificent.
Apart from these nine tails, her body showed no other martial soul possession features.
"Just who are you?!" Su Yuelong questioned once again, her stance tense and ready to strike as if she would attack Xu Zihuang with thunderous force in the next instant.
Xu Zihuang advanced without changing expression, his tangible spiritual power bursting forth and instantly countering and overwhelming Su Yuelong's soul power pressure.
Su Yuelong stared wide-eyed in utter shock. Sensing mortal danger approaching, a translucent platinum dragon horn grew from her smooth, fair forehead. Strange and dense soul power and spiritual fluctuations rippled outward. A ring of platinum light separated from the dragon horn and then bloomed, transforming into a massive platinum light ring that floated in the air of the room.
The moment this platinum light ring enveloped him, Xu Zihuang's terrifying spiritual pressure actually experienced a brief pause.
His spiritual power seemed to be sealed, beginning to collapse and melt away. But since his spiritual power level was already close to the peak of the tangible realm, only the outermost tip of the iceberg was affected by this platinum light ring; it posed no significant threat to him.
"Dawn's Radiance, indeed it is the Dawn Dragon." Xu Zihuang chuckled lightly. He had already guessed as much beforehand, so he was not surprised by this outcome.
The Dawn Dragon was an extremely rare spiritual-attribute giant dragon. It was said that even the Dragon God of old did not possess control over spiritual attributes.
Spiritual-attribute giant dragons had always held extremely high status in the once mighty Dragon Clan, but their numbers were simply far too few. That was why their power had never become as widely known as that of other true dragon-type races.
The soul skill Su Yuelong had just used was the Dawn Dragon's strongest innate soul skill, Dawn's Radiance, which could seal spiritual power within a certain range. Unfortunately, the head soul bone she had obtained came from a Dawn Dragon with cultivation below fifty thousand years, far from being able to unleash the full might of the Dawn Dragon's strongest innate soul skill.
Legend had it that the progenitor of the Dawn Dragon was a god-level existence; when it unleashed this soul skill, a single thought could cause a divine sense to collapse.
But for Su Yuelong, every word Xu Zihuang spoke sent waves crashing through her heart. Hearing him directly identify the origin of her head soul bone, she felt a chill spread across her entire body.
She could no longer hold back and instinctively lit her first five soul rings, unleashing her soul skills at Xu Zihuang.
As the soul rings shone, rings of light silently enveloped Xu Zihuang's body.
A white Slowing Light Ring, a seven-colored Soul Power Deprivation Light Ring, an ink-green Reversal Light Ring, a black Devouring Light Ring, and a golden Destruction Light Ring.
Five soul skills used simultaneously without an interval, even Shrek Academy had no such technique. To achieve this required extremely powerful spiritual control. Xu Zihuang could do it this way.
As for non-spiritual-attribute soul masters, it was basically impossible; there would always be some time lag.
And the reason Su Yuelong could do it was due to the bloodline innate talent of her Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Martial Soul.
These five light rings corresponded to her first five soul skills.
The first soul skill, Slowing Light Ring, as the name suggests, could slow the opponent's speed. The second soul skill, Soul Power Deprivation Light Ring, continuously drained the opponent's soul power. The third soul skill, Reversal Light Ring, also known as Biological Rejection Light Ring, could repel all living beings that entered it; it was a god-tier control soul skill. Depending on the method of use, it could produce specific effects.
Directly placed on an opponent, it could prevent them from passing through the light ring's range; each attempt to cross would return them to the starting point. When used to protect oneself, it could disrupt the opponent's internal soul power and blood energy.
The fourth soul skill, Devouring Light Ring, devoured a person's soul and mind. The fifth soul skill, Destruction Light Ring, did not truly possess destruction attributes; what this soul skill brought was endless tearing force.
All five soul skills were area-of-effect control soul skills, almost equivalent to weakened versions of domains. The might of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Martial Soul was fully displayed.
But Xu Zihuang's response was simply to release the first soul skill of his Golden Pupils Martial Soul Whale Chant.
As seven soul rings, five black, one red, one gold, pulsed around him, the black first soul ring bloomed with eerie light. An ethereal whale chant sounded only within this space, yet it caused the effects of Su Yuelong's five soul skills to dissipate into nothingness.
Golden light flowed along the obscure patterns around his pupils. In Xu Zihuang's eyes, all emotion had vanished, leaving only the indifference belonging to divinity.
"Impressive soul skills, but against me, they are ineffective."
