The Titan Giant Ape, with one arm already severed, was now in so much pain that it could not even stand, let alone dodge the completely unstoppable Deathgod Beast King Slash.
With a thunderous boom, the black-red qi blade landed heavily upon the Titan Giant Ape's chest, leaving behind a terrifying wound so deep that the bone beneath was clearly visible.
Simultaneously, the killing intent contained within the qi blade surged completely into the Titan Giant Ape's body by way of the wound. It rampaged wildly through the ape's four limbs and hundreds of bones, acting just like a meat grinder as it violently destroyed the Titan Giant Ape's physical tissues and nervous system.
Although the Titan Giant Ape's skin was as hard as iron, its internal organs and cells were exceptionally fragile. After being ravaged by the killing intent, the Titan Giant Ape's physical body was already riddled with thousands of holes. Blood flowed freely from its seven orifices, and its flesh bled incessantly, just like a gushing watering can.
In an instant, the area within a radius of several tens of meters had transformed into a river of blood, a complete and utter mess. As far as the eye could see, there was only a single, shocking, vivid shade of red.
Kuang—
Following a colossal sound, the Titan Giant Ape's mountain-like body crashed heavily onto the ground. It had completely lost all signs of life; it was obviously dead and could not possibly be any deader.
A stream of bright red soul power erupted from its body and then shot straight into the sky, dyeing the very heavens blood-red. At this very moment, only an extremely vivid, bright red could be seen on the horizon, serving as a beacon that marked the death of the Titan Giant Ape.
"Er Ming..."
At the same time, Xiao Wu, who had fled all the way to the border of the Star Dou Great Forest, gazed at the column of bright red soul power rising in the distant sky. She instantly realized that the Titan Giant Ape was dead, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
The tears stained Xiao Wu's eye sockets red, but she did not dare to slow her footsteps in the slightest, because Lin Qiuyang was still chasing her relentlessly from behind.
Only by continuing to run without stopping did she have even the slimmest possibility of escaping from Lin Qiuyang's "demonic grasp." And right behind Lin Qiuyang was the Sky Blue Bull Python, which was now enraged to the absolute extreme!
From that pillar of soul power soaring into the sky, it sensed a familiar aura.
The Sky Blue Bull Python was no fool. The instant it sensed that soul power, it realized that the Titan Giant Ape was dead. Its fury instantly shot to the heavens. Thunder and lightning began to coalesce around its body as it spat out a blast of Annihilation Thunder, shooting it toward Lin Qiuyang. It wanted to utterly kill Lin Qiuyang and the Dai Tianxing couple!
"Bastards! You killed my brother! You will all pay for it with your dog lives! Sky Blue Annihilation Thunder!"
The Sky Blue Bull Python continuously spat out bolts of incomparably powerful lightning. Even rocks as hard as iron, upon coming into contact with that Annihilation Thunder, were instantly turned into fine dust.
"Damn it! Eighth Soul Skill: Sword Art Breaks the Sky!"
Seeing the Sky Blue Bull Python's ferocious and overwhelming assault, Lin Qiuyang had no choice but to temporarily abandon his pursuit of Xiao Wu. He turned and activated his eighth soul skill, dedicating his power to defending against the Sky Blue Bull Python's certain-kill attack!
...
On the other side, after the Titan Giant Ape was slain, the soul power that had erupted from its body shot into the sky. It condensed above the corpse, forming a single, bright red soul ring, which then floated slowly right in front of Davis.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun swooshed, transforming into an afterimage as she arrived in front of Davis. She smiled sweetly and said, "Davis, the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring has appeared. You should hurry up and absorb it."
"That's right. The matter of absorbing a soul ring brooks no delay. Your Highness, please absorb the soul ring at once!" Lie Tianhu nodded with a smile. He glanced at the Blazing Sun Douluo beside him and added with a chuckle, "The Seventh Elder and I will stand guard for Your Highness."
"Alright, in that case, I will have to trouble everyone!"
Davis no longer hesitated. He immediately sat down cross-legged, positioning himself in front of the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring. He proficiently released his soul power, skillfully guiding the soul ring to merge into his Spirit.
Having had the prior experience of absorbing the Myriad Jun Ant Emperor's soul ring, Davis appeared completely at ease and extremely skilled while absorbing the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring.
Davis felt not the slightest hint of discomfort from the soul shockwave that erupted when the Titan Giant Ape died. In just one hour's time, Davis had completely erased the Titan Giant Ape's soul shock, successfully passing the most dangerous period. He then began to wholeheartedly absorb the vast soul power contained within the soul ring.
During this period, Dai Tianxing and his wife, along with Lin Qiuyang, all returned to the Lake of Life, regrouping with Davis and the others.
Seeing that Dai Tianxing, his wife, and the others had returned, Lie Tianhu asked with a face full of eager anticipation, "Dean Lin, what is the situation? Were you successful in capturing that 100,000-year-old rabbit?"
If they had successfully captured Xiao Wu, then at the very least, they would have obtained a 100,000-year-old soul bone. How could one not be happy about such a prospect?
However, Lin Qiuyang simply shook his head helplessly and explained, "General Tianhu, I am afraid I must disappoint you. Ever since you all slew the Titan Giant Ape, that Sky Blue Bull Python has been attacking us as if it has gone completely insane. In the heat of the moment, I could only do my absolute best to block its attacks. I simply had no spare energy to go and capture that female rabbit..."
"Exactly. The Sky Blue Bull Python's Slow-Down Domain is far too troublesome to deal with. Even with my wife and I joining forces, we could not gain the slightest advantage."
Dai Tianxing said with a sigh, "After we learned that you had successfully taken care of the Titan Giant Ape, we grew concerned that you all might be targeted by other Spirit Beasts in the forest, so we hurried back."
Speaking up to this point, he glanced over at Davis, who was currently absorbing the soul ring. A look of gratified relief immediately appeared on Dai Tianxing's face. "However, seeing that Davis is in the process of absorbing the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring and has already successfully passed the dangerous period, I can finally rest easy."
Lie Tianhu burst into hearty laughter, "His Highness the Crown Prince is, after all, the number one genius of our Star Luo Empire! Of course he would be able to absorb the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring."
Five hours of time passed by in a flash. The Titan Giant Ape's soul ring gradually and completely merged into Davis's body, becoming one with his Sacred Venerable White Tiger Spirit. Following this, Davis abruptly snapped his eyes open, a sharp glint of light flashing through the depths of his pupils.
It was not just the soul ring; even the 100,000-year left arm soul bone that the Titan Giant Ape had dropped was successfully absorbed by Davis into his body. Having obtained both a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, Davis's cultivation level instantly skyrocketed!
"Hee hee, Davis, you're finally awake!" Seeing Davis awaken, Zhu Zhuyun was the first to react, padding over to him just like a little puppy and flashing him a sweet smile.
"Hahaha! Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, there may be quite a few Soul Masters who possess a 100,000-year soul ring. But a Soul Master who possesses two 100,000-year soul rings? I'm afraid that's only our Davis! Truly worthy of being my grandson!"
Seeing Davis awaken, Dai Tianxing couldn't help but laugh uproariously. At his side, Zhu Lingyun also revealed a smile of profound relief and pride.
The husband and wife were both Titled Douluo. Naturally, the changes in Davis could not possibly be hidden from their eyes. They knew that Davis had not only obtained a 100,000-year eighth soul ring, but had also obtained the Titan Giant Ape's left arm soul bone. They both felt immensely proud and gratified for their grandson.
Zhu Lingyun smiled kindly, "Gege, Davis, congratulations. Your soul power has successfully reached Rank 86. At this speed, I'm afraid it won't be more than a few years before you can become a Titled Douluo. And the youngest Titled Douluo in history, at that! Even younger than Tang Hao!"
Boom—
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a single stone had stirred up a thousand waves, dropping a heavy bombshell in the hearts of everyone present. Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene revealed expressions of shock, astonishment, and utter disbelief. But the one thing that was completely absent was doubt.
Ning Tianyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Brother Crown Prince, is what the Empress Dowager said true? Has your soul power really reached Rank 86? Is the effect of this 100,000-year soul ring truly that powerful?"
"Haha, what Grandmother said is correct." Davis nodded, admitting it. "My cultivation has indeed reached Rank 86. However, it is not entirely due to the soul ring's effect. I had already reached Rank 80 two years ago, and I have not slacked off in my cultivation during these past two years."
