Xu Tianxi's face twitched, and he stared with his eyes wide open to show that he didn't understand: "You come up and fight with your benefactor, what kind of etiquette is this?"
Tong Tian Ba Xia rolled his eyes, and the dragon horns on his head swayed: "Everyone does this in the ocean... Well, maybe it's a little different from the etiquette in your human world?"
Xu Tianxi was speechless for a while: "...I don't think this is just a small difference..."
Well, for soul beasts, this is really a strange yet reasonable etiquette.
"Crash——"
Xu Xiaoyun steadied his body, and his palms that were knocked back suddenly clasped together. The eyes of the Xuanwu phantom shot out bloodshot light, and a violent storm was set off in the area of dozens of miles, which turned into layers of barriers to protect his body.
At the same time, the nine soul rings on Xu Xiaoyun's body suddenly changed -
The first five spirit rings on his body flashed at the same time, and instantly merged together, turning into a black spirit ring that shone brightly.
Divine beast bloodline talent and spirit ring combination.
The dark golden basalt shield with golden edges interwoven on the surface suddenly expanded to a hundred meters in radius, transforming into thousands of shield shadows. Xu Xiaoyun's body also swelled rapidly under the effect of soul power, like a giant towering over the sky, exuding an unbreakable and vast aura that was not afraid of the collapse of the sky.
Xu Xiaoyun's temperament changed, from a simple and unsophisticated old man to a man of great vigor and vitality, his long robe fluttering in the wind. Xu Tianxi clearly saw the changing expression in his eyes, as if many thoughts were passing through them. He stroked the basalt shield with both hands, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"It has been a long time since I used my full strength. I almost forgot that the title I gave myself when I was frivolous in the past was 'Eternal'! It is really a pleasure to meet you today, and on this boundless ocean."
"Xu Xiaoyun of Xuanming Sect, titled Eternal, please teach me, Tongtian Bazu! Xuanwu~Roar!"
The overlapping phantoms of the golden basalt shields absorbed the vast water elements of the boundless ocean and condensed into entities. In the blink of an eye, they turned into endless golden walls, like a fortress city that would never fall, causing waves in the ocean.
"out!"
Xu Xiaoyun shook his palm, and the boundless divine wall that rendered half of the ocean in brilliant golden color came out mightily to suppress it, splitting the sea and breaking the sky, with unstoppable force!
The low roar of the giant beast resounded across the sea at this time, and the virtual image of the Xuanwu also turned from virtual to real in an instant. The fighting spirit rose in his bloodshot eyes, like the second incarnation of Xu Xiaoyun, revealing his boundless grandeur.
The space was shattered by the roar, and cracks appeared on the sky. Xu Tianxi finally saw a top-level expert who could break through space on this Douluo Continent! "Good~!"
Far away in the distance, a gigantic creature whose size could not be seen but was definitely much larger than the Titan Snow Demon King, showed its majestic figure stepping on the waves. It had a dragon head and a turtle body, thick limbs, claws like a unicorn, and spoke human words from its mouth, as deep and solemn as a mountain abyss.
Xu Tianxi clearly felt that this terrifying beast first gave him, the little bully beside him, a kind look, and then it focused slightly and turned to take on Xu Xiaoyun's deafening attack.
"Buzz~——"
I saw Tongtian Bazu raising his left forelimb, and the space around his huge body twisted violently. Countless aqua-blue rays of light poured like ink on the dark sea where the sky and water were one color, like a thousand-foot-high beacon, illuminating the direction of pedestrians.
An even more terrifying scene soon occurred. As Tongtian Bazu became serious, huge black hole whirlpools suddenly appeared in the distorted space, which seemed to be able to swallow the sky and the earth. He mobilized the power of the infinite ocean for his use and generated immeasurable soul power.
Thousands of water tornadoes poured down like an overwhelming force, and in front of Tongtian Bazu, they condensed into majestic water dragons with magical powers, with their fangs and claws bared, flying towards the golden divine wall that seemed to be eternal and indestructible.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang"
The earth-shattering collision happened suddenly, as if a calamity had come, and it rolled up thousands of waves, no less than a tsunami. No one would have thought that in this sparsely populated sea area in the past, two powerful men who were close to the limits of the world would burst into an unparalleled war.
And this magnificent scene was only the second move in their fight!
After the storm calmed down, the space gaps created by Xu Xiaoyun were filled with a water-blue halo, the sky was intact, the boundless divine wall that covered one side disappeared completely, and Xu Xiaoyun himself retreated thousands of feet away.
On the other hand, Tongtian Bazu's huge body remained motionless, and the winner between the two was already determined.
Xu Tianxi and Tongtian Baxia were both protected by the tacit understanding of their ancestors. Apart from being shaken and flying backwards hundreds of meters, there was no other impact. The man and the turtle drank several big gulps of water, and then pinched their throats to spit it out.
The scene was too horrible. Xu Tianxi was sure that the state of this battle was beyond his cognitive limit, so he turned to look at the little Baxia next to him, smiled with a blazing gaze, "Brother Turtle, you are a 90,000-year-old soul beast, you are well-informed, and you have drunk more seawater than I have eaten salt. Help me analyze it."
Xiao Ba Xia raised his head proudly, gave Xu Tianxi a look that said "young brother, you are really good at talking", and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, young brother, my grandfather often does this at home. He is very experienced in controlling power and will definitely not hurt your master."
Xu Tianxi still looked worried: "But Brother Turtle, my master is not a sea soul beast, but a human. When your grandfather sees the nine soul rings on my master, he will not have the intention of avenging other soul beasts and leave my master here, right?"
Judging from the nonchalant tone Xu Xiaoyun used when talking about killing sea soul beasts, Xu Tianxi was very sure that the Xuanming family was definitely a habitual offender in killing sea soul beasts, and the two hundred thousand year soul rings on Xu Xiaoyun's body were also likely to have come from two hundred thousand year sea soul beasts.
What if Tongtian Bazu was a responsible leader and killed the master in a rage? What should we do then?
This old Baxia has been practicing for at least 600,000 years. Even if he is not on the sea, he still possesses extreme combat power. Xu Xiaoyun cannot win in a head-on fight. No matter how powerful his Xuanwu Martial Soul is, it is impossible for him to surpass the other party in affinity for the ocean.
Xu Tianxi was worried, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ba Xia still looked nonchalant. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my grandfather doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. As long as your master hasn't killed anyone from my clan, he won't kill your master. What's the big deal about killing a few soul beasts? We, the Ba Xia clan, eat a lot of sea soul beasts every year."
"Great, then I feel relieved."
Seeing that both sides were about to come up with the third move, Xu Tianxi finally let go of his worries.
Xiao Ba Xia looked at Tong Tian Ba Zu's expression and communicated with him using an unknown method of sound transmission. A smile suddenly appeared in his majestic dragon eyes, and he said to Xu Tianxi, "Hehe, your master is quite powerful. He can fight with my grandfather for a few moves. He is much stronger than my father. When my grandfather is not sleeping, he likes to use this method to guide my father and others in their cultivation."
"Maybe he thinks your master is a promising talent and wants to give guidance to the younger generation."
"Guiding the younger generation... this is a very appropriate term. By the way, how many tens of thousands of years has your grandfather lived? Is he practicing for seven hundred thousand years?"
Hearing that Xu Xiaoyun had also become a junior being instructed, Xu Tianxi's mouth twitched, but when he thought about the age difference between the two, he felt that it was okay and casually asked about Old Baxia's age.
Judging from the appearance of this old Baxia, his racial talent must be extremely strong. I don't know which one is stronger between him and the three fierce beasts on the continent.
Xiao Ba Xia said without hesitation: "Yes, he has been practicing for more than 800,000 years, and he survived the eighth heavenly tribulation thousands of years ago."
"Ah? Your grandpa is so fierce?"
Xu Tianxi was shocked. Lived for more than 800,000 years? On land, the only ones with higher cultivation than this old turtle seemed to be the Silver Dragon Fish and the Beast God Emperor Tian.
Moreover, it is beyond doubt that he has cultivated the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores to live to this age. With the Ba Xia bloodline, wouldn't this old turtle be able to fight against Emperor Tian? I don't know if Emperor Tian's Dragon God Claw is useful to this guy.
"Of course not. Grandpa often brags to us that there are only a handful of sea soul beasts in the ocean that can fight him. It's just that he sleeps all year round and doesn't go out, so his reputation is not that great, but his strength is definitely fierce." Xiaoba Xia raised his head proudly.
"That's great. It's a great opportunity to practice with such a strong person." Xu Tianxi said sincerely with anticipation on his face.
It is now certain that Xu Xiaoyun will not be able to defeat Old Baxia even if he risks his life, so it would be great if he can gain something from this battle.
Although Xu Xiaoyun cannot follow the path of Old Baxia's yin-yang complementary dual soul core, if Old Baxia is willing to give some guidance, it will definitely be of great help to Xu Xiaoyun. Although he does not expect to suddenly realize and break through the limit, it is always good to enhance his combat effectiveness.
"This is the third move, be careful."
Tongtian Bazu, whose strength was unfathomable, took the initiative to speak. He raised his dragon head and let out a mysterious roar. The coral-shaped deep blue dragon horns were raised, and the crystal clear water blue light shone in all directions, turning into a huge ball of light with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and smashed towards Xu Xiaoyun head-on.
The water-blue ball of light seemed real or illusory, flickering unsteadily, as if a giant dragon was hovering on it. Xu Tianxi and Xiao Baxia stared at each other in confusion, unable to catch any trace of it.
"Does this move utilize the power of space?" Xu Tianxi speculated.
"good!"
Xu Xiaoyun stood still and roared, stretching out his arms. The sixth and seventh soul rings on his body merged into one, turning into a blood-red 100,000-year soul ring, which then lit up with a bang.
"Martial Soul's True Avatar! Xuanwu Domain!"
A dazzling golden halo wrapped around Xu Xiaoyun's body, and his momentum soared exponentially. The golden basalt shield in his hand flew out of his hand, blooming with brilliant light in the air. The halo twisted and turned, undergoing strange changes. The basalt phantom behind Xu Xiaoyun also soared into the sky and disappeared in the huge ball of light.
As Xu Xiaoyun held his hands high, boundless sea water surged up and sank into the ball of light in the air. This was the natural ability of the Xuanwu beast to mobilize the water element. As long as it was in the sea, Xuanwu would be invincible when facing any opponent of the same level!
"Ninth soul skill, Xuanwu divine seal!"
Xu Xiaoyun ignited the ninth soul ring on his body, and a look of determination appeared on his stern face. All the soul rings except the eighth soul ring were integrated into it, almost raising the power of this attack to the limit. Then he pointed a finger, opened an energy channel, and connected with Xuanwu's true body.
"Roar~!"
A giant Xuanwu beast with a body size of over a thousand feet stepped out into the air and brought Xu Xiaoyun to the top of its head. Its snake tail hissed and spit out thousands of water columns. Its turtle head drew the water into a sky seal, and a halo covered half of the sky.
"The power of the mythical beast Xuanwu? Not bad."
There were finally some emotional changes in Tongtian Bazu's eyes. Time passed by without him noticing the passing of time. It was rare for him to meet a human who could fight him for two moves. Unfortunately, his cultivation was still far behind.
The water-blue light ball and the Xuanwu Seal collided quickly, but this time there was no earth-shattering sound, but instead it was silent. After a brief contact, the two energy balls quickly disappeared and disintegrated, turning into rain all over the sky and falling back onto the sea.
"The power of Baxia Ancestor is far beyond our reach."
Seeing that his most powerful attack was also resolved by Tongtian Bazu's power of space, Xu Xiaoyun couldn't help but sigh, retracted his martial soul and soul ring, and fell back to the sea.
When the other party came just now, he had already told him through the method of sound transmission that how much he could understand from the three moves with him depended entirely on his own comprehension.
Tong Tian Ba Zu shook his head lightly and said calmly: "You are not a Limit Douluo but you can take three moves from me. You are proud enough. Your Xuanwu bloodline is also extraordinary. I hope you can go further."
After saying that, Tongtian Bazu looked at Xu Tianxi and Xiao baxia, and a blue light spurted out of his mouth and fell in front of Xu Tianxi.
"My Baxia clan never owes favors to anyone. This is the armor piece that my ancestor shed when he was going through a tribulation. It can help you survive a tribulation of life and death. Xiao tian likes you very much. If you have the chance, come visit my clan."
After saying that, Tongtian Bazu exhaled light and took Xiao baxia away. With a flash, he disappeared in this world.
