Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo? No, Six Hundred Ninety Thousand Years

"You'll know once you go inside."

Wang Xian'er led the two of them into the Treasure Vault.

Along the way, Xu Jiujiu saw many powerful figures, all from the Star Crown Sect.

There were also rows upon rows of deathsworn guards, protecting the Treasure Vault so tightly that not even a drop of water could get through.

What exactly was inside that required mobilizing the Star Crown Sect's core forces?

As a direct descendant of the Star Crown lineage,

unless they faced a major crisis, Xu Jiawei would never have deployed them.

"Could Snow Empress have arrived?"

Tang Feng guessed inwardly.

The only thing worthy of such a grand display should have been the Platform of Deification.

The Star Luo Empire had paid an enormous price to capture a "Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast" that was undergoing transformation.

This Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo had originally been prepared specifically for the Sun Moon Empire, to trade for high-level Soul Tools.

Xu Jiawei was farsighted and had already seen the future trend of Soul Tools. Within the Star Luo Empire, he vigorously promoted Soul Tool technology.

Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, their Soul Tool technology lagged behind by at least several decades.

If the Star Luo Empire wanted to catch up, it had to find another path.

Xu Jiawei had even planned to steer the Body Sect into attacking Mingde Hall to probe its true strength.

"Xiao Feng, Jiu Jiu, you're here."

Xu Jiawei beckoned to the two of them.

Behind him stood a round metal container, dark gold all over.

Its surface was carved with dense runes, while icy-blue energy rippled around it.

Even from far away, they could feel a terrifying chill.

"Imperial Brother, is this a Rank Nine Soul Tool?"

The Rank Nine Soul Tools Xu Jiujiu had seen before were completely different from the Platform of Deification before her.

This object looked more like an auxiliary, defensive, or functional type of Soul Tool.

"This Rank Nine Soul Tool is called the Platform of Deification. Sealed inside is a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo currently undergoing transformation."

"It can be directly absorbed by a Soul Master, granting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, a soul bone, and perhaps even a Second Martial Soul."

Xu Jiawei looked toward Tang Feng beside him.

There was no greed in Tang Feng's eyes, which left him both pleased and disappointed.

If Tang Feng greatly desired this item, Xu Jiawei could have negotiated terms and bound him deeply to the Star Luo Imperial Family.

"Imperial Brother, are you giving this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo to Xiao Feng?"

Xu Jiujiu immediately understood.

Since Xu Jiawei had called Tang Feng here, this item had clearly been prepared for him.

If Tang Feng gained a Second Martial Soul, his strength would rise to another level.

"Xiao Feng, if you can absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo, then it will be yours."

"If you can't, I will use it to set up a scheme and strengthen the Star Luo Empire's national power."

Xu Jiawei had called Tang Feng here

because he believed that, having obtained a Deity Inheritance, Tang Feng might have a way to persuade the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

If he could make it Sacrifice itself to Tang Feng and grant him a Second Martial Soul, that would be ideal.

An ultimate Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls would surely lead the Star Luo Empire to the peak of the continent in the future.

"Your Majesty, I can try."

Tang Feng was absolutely confident.

If he had not drawn the Insight Weakness trait, he might have needed to put in more effort to fool Snow Empress into offering a Sacrifice.

But since Insight Weakness could affect people's hearts, it became much simpler.

"I can give you at most one year."

Xu Jiawei promised.

There was still more than a year until the Advanced Soul Master Competition.

The several spare months in between would be enough for Xu Jiawei to lay out his scheme and lure the Sun Moon Empire into taking the bait.

Tang Feng slowly stepped forward.

He sat down before the Platform of Deification.

With a light touch of his right hand against the Life Mark between his brows, he borrowed the Goddess of Life's power to protect his spiritual body and entered the Platform of Deification directly.

"Human, you seek death!"

Being captured by human Soul Masters had already been an immense humiliation for Snow Empress.

Now, a human Soul Master actually dared to use spiritual power to enter the Platform of Deification.

If she did not blast him apart, she would not be Snow Empress of the Extreme North.

An ultimate chill that seemed capable of freezing even souls, carrying heaven-shaking divine might, instantly swept across heaven and earth.

Not only did Tang Feng inside the Platform of Deification feel it, but even Xu Jiawei outside suddenly changed expression.

He immediately unleashed a soul skill and shielded Xu Jiujiu and Tang Feng, yet he was still forced back several steps.

"A Fierce Beast?"

Even Xu Jiawei, a Titled Douluo whose strength could not be underestimated, was sent reeling by that force.

The aura the other party had erupted with had absolutely reached the level of a Fierce Beast. Otherwise, it could not have knocked him back through the Platform of Deification.

"Imperial Brother, what about Xiao Feng?"

Xu Jiujiu's voice trembled, nearly breaking into sobs.

Absorbing Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings in the past had almost cost Tang Feng his life.

This time, it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

"He has a Deity Teacher protecting him. Rather than worry about his safety, you should pray that he persuades the Fierce Beast to offer a Sacrifice."

Xu Jiawei sensed it clearly.

Earlier, when the Fierce Beast's aura surged, a special mark had appeared between Tang Feng's brows.

It was the mark of a Deity Inheritance. Just as Immortal Doctor Douluo Wang Xian'er had said, it was filled with supreme majesty.

It had only flashed for an instant, yet it completely neutralized the attack at the Fierce Beast level.

"A Deity?"

Xu Jiujiu was stunned.

How had she not known that Tang Feng had a Deity Teacher, while her Imperial Brother knew so much?

"Old Wang sensed the aura of the Life Deity back then, which was why he found Xiao Feng together with you."

"If the Deity hadn't gotten there first, do you think Old Wang would have let such a disciple slip away?"

Xu Jiawei stood beside Xu Jiujiu.

Compared to giving away the Fierce Beast Embryo, Xu Jiawei would have preferred for one of his own people to possess it.

After all, this was the embryo of a Fierce Beast, even rarer than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It might even grant a martial soul at the Fierce Beast level.

If it were anyone else,

even a Ninth Soul Ring might not withstand the Fierce Beast's immense spiritual and energy impact. They would most likely be directly burst apart.

"Xiao Feng's condition is very stable. Since his teacher has intervened to protect him, there's no need for this old woman to overstep."

Immortal Doctor Douluo breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Jiawei had summoned her here so she could be ready to provide treatment at any moment, even treatment that consumed her own life force.

As the foremost healer in the world,

Wang Xian'er was both a Pillar of the Nation and one of the reasons powerful figures came to pledge themselves to the Star Luo Empire.

She was equally vital to the Star Luo Empire.

"Manyi, from now on, you will personally guard Xiao Feng. Do not leave his side for even a single step."

Xu Jiawei summoned Star Cloud Douluo.

This person was a direct descendant of the Star Crown Sect and was absolutely trustworthy.

As the Star Luo Emperor, he could not remain in the Treasure Vault for long periods. Therefore, Manyi and Wang Xian'er would have to handle guarding Tang Feng.

As for the other Titled Douluo, Xu Jiawei could not trust them completely.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Manyi had actually been there all along.

Within the Imperial Palace, she had always come and gone freely, subject to no restrictions.

Most of the powerful enshrined experts knew her and knew that she was a direct descendant of the Star Crown lineage.

"I'll be leaving first."

"All of you will follow Jiu Jiu's orders."

Xu Jiawei quickly departed.

Only the two Titled Douluo, Xu Jiujiu, and a group of Star Crown Sect experts remained.

They surrounded Tang Feng and watched the subtle changes in his body without blinking.

From time to time, terrifying cold seeped out from the Platform of Deification, forcing them back hundreds of meters.

Only Tang Feng's body remained before the Platform of Deification, completely unaffected.

At that moment, Tang Feng was enduring Snow Empress's storm-like attacks, which did not pause for a moment.

If not for the Goddess of Life's Divine Power protecting him, Snow Empress would have frozen him into an ice sculpture and smashed him into a pile of icy fragments long ago.
