As it watched Lin Qiuyang streak toward Xiao Wu, the Sky Blue Bull Python's pupils constricted violently. Its soul power immediately erupted with sudden force.
"Slow-Down Domain, unfold!"
The moment the domain activated, Lin Qiuyang's expression changed dramatically. He realized that his speed had been reduced by a significant amount. This was especially dangerous because he was still trapped within the Titan Giant Ape's Gravity Control Domain. Under the combined effects of the tenfold gravity and the newly added Slow-Down Domain, Lin Qiuyang was rendered almost completely immobile; he could barely move a muscle.
At that very same instant, the Sky Blue Bull Python executed a 'Divine Dragon's Tail Sweep,' its massive tail lashing viciously toward the immobilized Lin Qiuyang. Witnessing this incoming attack, Lin Qiuyang's face went pale with absolute horror. For a moment, he was completely at a loss, unsure how to react.
Just in the nick of time, Dai Tianxing maneuvered the Nether White Tiger, arriving directly in front of Lin Qiuyang. It raised one of its massive tiger claws and successfully intercepted the Sky Blue Bull Python's devastating tail sweep, blocking the attack for him.
"Many thanks to the Supreme Emperor for intervening to save my life!"
"It is no matter! Dean Lin, you must be extremely careful. The strength of this Sky Blue Bull Python is far more terrifying than that of the Titan Giant Ape."
"Understood!"
Lin Qiuyang replied, his voice still laced with lingering fear from the close call. The superposition of these two great Emperor-level Spirit Beasts' domains was simply too overpowering. The tenfold gravity combined with the intense slowing effect almost rendered him completely immobile. Even the simple act of lifting a single finger had become an incredibly laborious task.
Fortunately, Dai Tianxing had just intervened to neutralize the Sky Blue Bull Python's attack on his behalf. Otherwise, even if the blow hadn't killed him outright, it certainly would have left him severely wounded, metaphorically shedding a layer of skin.
The Sky Blue Bull Python surged out from the Lake of Life, positioning its massive body protectively in front of Xiao Wu. It spoke urgently, "Sister Xiao Wu, you must leave this place immediately!"
"Da Ming, Er Ming..."
"Go now! These humans are here specifically for us. If you leave, even if we cannot defeat them, we will still have a chance to escape. But if you remain here, you will only be a liability, and none of us will be able to flee."
"...Da Ming, Er Ming, please take care of yourselves!" Xiao Wu said, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. As much as she did not want to abandon them, she also understood the truth: her presence here would only serve to drag them down.
She immediately activated her teleportation soul skill, instantly moving outside the range of the Slow-Down Domain. She then began running desperately toward the exit of the Star Dou Great Forest. Outside of this forest, her only possible refuge was Shrek Academy.
"Hmph, trying to escape? Not a chance in hell!" Dai Tianxing roared furiously. "Dean Lin, I will help you tie down the Sky Blue Bull Python. You must immediately extract yourself from the Slow-Down Domain and go capture that Soft Bone Rabbit for me! Remember, capture her alive if at all possible. However, if capturing her alive proves impossible, then kill her on the spot and bring back her soul bone!"
"As you command!"
Lin Qiuyang unleashed his full soul power, forcing his body to run across the ground. Yet, his current speed was only comparable to that of an ordinary person sprinting, perhaps even slightly slower.
However, under the intense dual suppression of both the Slow-Down Domain and the Gravity Control Domain, being able to muster even this much speed was already an extremely remarkable feat. To achieve this, Lin Qiuyang had already consumed nearly sixty percent of his total soul power.
Sensing the rapid and alarming depletion of his soul power, Lin Qiuyang hurriedly began to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Davis had imparted to him. Over the past five months, Lin Qiuyang had successfully cultivated this Mysterious Heaven Skill all the way to the seventh-layer realm.
As he felt his soul power beginning to recover, bit by bit, Lin Qiuyang was finally able to put his mind at ease.
After what felt like an eternity, but was perhaps only three minutes, Lin Qiuyang finally managed to struggle out of the overlapping coverage area of the two powerful domains. He immediately summoned his sword, leaping onto it and engaging in 'Sword Flight' to pursue Xiao Wu at high speed.
Witnessing this, the Titan Giant Ape (Er Ming) bellowed, "Leave this place to me! You, go quickly and protect Sister Xiao Wu!"
"But Er Ming, your situation here..."
"Don't you worry about me! Only that winged tiger poses any real trouble. The other humans are not my match! Go, now! Protecting Sister Xiao Wu is the most important thing!"
"Very well, then."
The Sky Blue Bull Python (Da Ming) immediately turned and shot off in pursuit of Lin Qiuyang. Despite its colossal body, its speed was exceptionally agile, and its movements were remarkably flexible.
Seeing this development, Dai Tianxing also controlled the Nether White Tiger to give chase. Lin Qiuyang was absolutely not the Sky Blue Bull Python's opponent. With Lin Qiuyang now having only forty percent of his soul power remaining, if he were to be caught by the Sky Blue Bull Python, his death would be a certainty.
To prevent the Star Luo Empire from losing a valuable Titled Douluo, Dai Tianxing had no choice but to go and provide support to Lin Qiuyang.
"Davis, General Tianhu, I am leaving this Titan Giant Ape to you!"
"You can leave it to me, Grandfather!"
Davis replied calmly. He then began controlling the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, which walked slowly until it was face-to-face with the Titan Giant Ape. Under the oppressive tenfold gravity of the Gravity Control Domain, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's movements were significantly slower than before.
"Zhuyun, Zhuqing, how are you both holding up?"
"We are both okay..." the two women replied in unison. Despite their words, it was obvious that they were not comfortable at this moment. The blood and vital energy within their bodies were still surging chaotically, and a dull, aching pain throbbed from their internal organs.
"Eight Treasures Emerge from Glazed Tile: Fifth Ability, Heal!"
Instantaneously, a radiant, seven-colored light injected itself into the body of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, causing the injuries of all three people (within the fusion) to begin recovering at a rapid pace.
This was clearly the work of Ning Tianyu. Ning Tianyu's fifth soul skill specialized in accelerating injury recovery. As of now, the healing speed for all three of them had been increased by sixty percent.
"Many thanks, Tianyu. Please also trouble yourself to give us a strength amplification and an attack amplification!"
"No problem at all!"
Another two rays of brilliant light injected themselves into the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's body, increasing both their physical strength and their attack power by sixty percent.
"Seventh Elder, Uncle Tianhu, please both of you move aside. You can leave this Titan Giant Ape entirely to me."
"What?" Upon hearing this, both Lie Tianhu and the Blazing Sun Douluo paled with shock. They hurriedly asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, we know your strength is immense, but this Titan Giant Ape is no easy opponent. Are you absolutely certain you will be alright?"
"I have no problem! This tiger hasn't shown its true might, and that ape is treating me like a sick kitten. Seventh Elder, Uncle Tianhu, in a moment, I need you both to move very far away from me. It would be terrible if you were accidentally injured by my killing aura."
As he finished speaking, his seventh soul ring suddenly began to flash. Simultaneously, a boundless, terrifying killing aura exploded from his body, sweeping out in all directions. Feeling that absolutely astonishing killing aura, the Blazing Sun Douluo's expression instantly changed, and he cried out in shock.
"The Deathgod Domain!"
It was impossible for him not to be astounded. The Deathgod Domain! He had only ever witnessed such a thing on the body of Tang Hao.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Myriad Jun Domain!"
Once the three great domains (White Tiger, Deathgod, and Myriad Jun) unfolded, they instantly began to fuse into a single, unified entity. This fusion didn't just cause all aspects of his attributes to multiply in power.
More importantly, the killing aura and the immense pressure fused together, transforming into a veritable storm of killing intent. Anyone caught standing within this fused domain would be torn to shreds by the monstrous, now-materialized killing intent!
This was precisely what was happening to the Titan Giant Ape at this very moment. Standing within the fused domain, the Titan Giant Ape's tough body began to develop numerous lacerations.
Although the individual wounds were not deep, they were incredibly dense and numerous. In just a single instant, the Titan Giant Ape was already covered from head to toe in bloody injuries.
"Roooaaar..."
The intense pain from the countless wounds caused the Titan Giant Ape to let out a furious bellow. It charged murderously toward the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, its rock-like iron fists smashing forward with immense weight!
"A good attack! Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"Sixth Soul Skill: Nether Possession!"
Davis immediately activated two amplification-type soul skills. His strength, speed, and defense all instantly increased by more than double. Watching the Titan Giant Ape's 'Fist of the Earth' come smashing toward him, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger was able to easily evade the blow.
After being amplified by his soul skills, his fused domains, and the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's strength and speed had already been enhanced to a terrifying degree. It was now fully capable of moving freely, completely unhindered, within the Gravity Control Domain.
After dodging the Titan Giant Ape's Fist of the Earth, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger instantly circled behind it. Its claws transformed into two sharp, purple blades as it slashed viciously forward!
"Soul Bone Skill: Darkgold Terror Claw!"
Pfft!
This time, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's heaven-shaking claw struck heavily against the Titan Giant Ape's back. It left a horrifying, deep wound, causing the beast to let out a wail of agonizing pain.
"Roooar!"
"Damned human! You actually managed to injure me! Go and die!" The Titan Giant Ape whipped its head around and furiously bellowed, "Titan's Firmament Cannon!"
