Chapter 20: Nine Star Palace
"The Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
With a furious roar, Feng Bailong's pitch-black seventh soul ring suddenly burst forth, a strong black light instantly spreading across his entire body, transforming into a nearly ten-meter-long giant blue dragon, strikingly similar to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Feng Bailong's grandmother was a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and married outside the clan to Feng Bailong's grandfather.
His father did not inherit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, so he was not valued by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan for their bloodline and was not called back to the clan..
It was thought that the two families had no connection, but in the third generation of Feng Bailong, the awakening of his martial soul unexpectedly triggered the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan within him, awakening the dragon-shaped martial soul with innate soul power reaching level six.
However, since his grandmother was from a collateral branch, the bloodline was thin. Although Feng Bailong's martial soul resembled that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he did not inherit the other major characteristic of the clan, the power of thunder, making his martial soul not a pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon one.
Despite several tests conducted by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, they ultimately decided not to absorb him into the family.
However, the visits from members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan several times aroused many speculations about Feng Bailong's background. Leveraging this association, coupled with his martial soul and talent, he became a local hegemon in the Sylviea Kingdom over the years.
After transforming into the true form of his martial soul, Feng Bailong immediately attacked without hesitation. His massive figure soared out, and a vast soul pressure covered Xiao Yu, his huge dragon claw reaching directly for him.
Feng Bailong's ability to develop the sect into a local hegemon, with the assistance of the background of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, was one aspect. His ability to read the situation and adapt on the fly was also not lacking.
There was at least one Soul Douluo-level powerhouse on the other side. The disparity in strength was definitely not something he could confront head-on.
However, among the few people, it was obvious that Xiao Yu was the leader. A small fry like him couldn't possibly be a Soul Douluo or above, which meant this small fry must have a high status among them.
Therefore, at this moment, he could only take a gamble, seizing Xiao Yu. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
The idea was indeed good, but did Feng Bailong stand a chance of succeeding?
Clearly, he didn't!
"The Sixth Soul Skill, Crystal Wall."
Mu took action. Under the operation of his soul power, countless crystals turned into an invisible and impenetrable protective wall in front of them. Feng Bailong, who didn't understand, crashed into it head-on, instantly flying backward faster than when he charged out.
"Master!"
Whether it was the several Soul Emperor and Soul King elders behind Feng Bailong or the disciples of the Dragon Extremity Sect below, they were all dumbfounded, watching Feng Bailong fly backward and crash heavily into the ground, leaving a huge pit. For a moment, not a single person went to help him up.
"Attack!"
Regardless of what they were thinking, Xiao Yu coldly ordered, and the prepared group immediately rushed towards the opposite side.
"The Eighth Soul Skill, Dark Sun Radiance!"
Hui Huo took the lead, using his most powerful move. He raised both hands, and a pitch-black sphere hung high in the sky like a rising sun, directly rushing towards the Dragon Extremity Sect elders in the air.
"Boom!"
A deafening sound echoed through the sky. The sphere exploded, instantly turning into a huge and colorful wave of fire several miles wide, releasing unparalleled brilliance and scorching heat, making it seem like being in a burning hell.
The immense energy spread rapidly. In another world, temperatures as high as the sun could even melt golden saint clothes, let alone just a few Soul Emperor and Soul King. In just a few breaths, those Dragon Extremity Sect elders were engulfed by this immense energy, leaving behind not even a complete corpse.
"Attack!"
Xuan Wu below also shouted loudly, leading a group of soul masters to charge forward.
Instantly, hundreds of different-colored soul rings emerged in the crowd, flashing and soon dispersing in all directions towards the opposite crowd. Undoubtedly, those were all soul skills used by soul masters.
"Let's fight them!"
It wasn't until the soul skills from the opposite side exploded in their crowd that the Dragon Extremity Sect's people woke up as if from a dream, wanting to counterattack. But where was the time?
Even though the candidates who transformed into soul masters had their memories wiped by the system, they still retained the combat experience and skills they acquired during their training in the holy realm. Compared to the Dragon Extremity Sect disciples who only knew how to bully civilians, they were much stronger.
In just a short while, the Dragon Extreme Sect was massacred, with blood flowing like a river and mournful cries echoing throughout.
The sinful young sect master, Feng Quan, was first struck by a few soul techniques, breaking both his legs and leaving him kneeling on the ground, wailing endlessly. However, his former followers were too busy to save him, and he was eventually trampled beyond recognition.
After more than half an hour, the battle ended. The entire Dragon Extreme Sect was left with only a few who surrendered wisely and Feng Bailong, who was knocked into a ditch and couldn't get up at the beginning.
When the battle was over, Feng Bailong was dug out of the ditch and brought before Xiao Yu.
"Who are you people?" Feng Bailong's eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Xiao Yu and asked hatefully.
Xiao Yu's expression remained calm as he answered indifferently, "Nine Star Palace, Xiao Yu."
Nine Star Palace!
Indeed, this was the name Xiao Yu gave to the sect he established.
Whether it was the Divine Warriors or the Underworld Fighters, they all had their corresponding constellations, and nine was the extreme between heaven and earth. Xiao Yu was determined to make his sect the most powerful force in Dou Luo, so he named his sect Nine Star Palace.
"Nine Star Palace, Xiao Yu!" Feng Bailong gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to remember this name firmly, and shakily raised his hand to point at Xiao Yu, saying, "Boy, you don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, you will surely not have a good ending in the future!"
"I've never paid attention to the mad barking of the losers!" Xiao Yu waved his hand indifferently. He had just destroyed the other's sect, so there was no possibility of accepting their surrender. The people below understood and immediately dragged him away to be dealt with.
"Check those who surrendered to see if there are any relatives of Feng Bailong. The sect has just started, and we can't leave any time bombs beside us." Xiao Yu arranged calmly, "Also, those with great public grievances cannot be left behind to damage the reputation of the sect. Remove their soul power and throw them out, letting those oppressed civilians take revenge and settle old scores.
Take inventory of the Dragon Extreme Sect's warehouse, take out half, and give it to those who have suffered from the Dragon Extreme Sect's oppression in the past. Don't be stingy with money and wealth; the sect has just started, and reputation is more important than anything else."
