Seizing the moment while the two Hell Civet clones drew the bulk of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's firepower, Davis had already maneuvered the Star Luo Holy Tiger to hover hundreds of meters in the air. He was prepared to unleash his ninth soul skill.
"Zhuyun, Zhuqing, lend me your strength! We shall perform the Ring Fusion together!"
"Right!" the two sisters replied in unison. In an instant, the three of them erupted with soul power. Twenty-four soul rings of varying colors soared into the sky, revolving one by one above the Star Luo Holy Tiger's head.
Among them, the single orange-gold soul ring and the three brilliant crimson hundred-thousand-year soul rings were exceptionally dazzling!
The moment the soul rings appeared, the three unleashed their mental power simultaneously. Having spent so much time together, their coordination was flawless; they had reached a level of intimacy where a single glance was enough to know exactly what the others were thinking.
Their mental powers twisted together into a single rope, threading through the twenty-four soul rings. Then, centered on Davis's ninth soul ring, they used their collective will to compress the other rings, forcing them to merge into one.
Buzz— Buzz— Buzz!
Upon absorbing the other rings, a single golden grain appeared upon the orange-gold soul ring. This indicated that the ring's lifespan had reached three hundred thousand years!
Then came a second golden grain, a third, a fourth, a fifth... By the time all the soul rings were fully absorbed, the fused ring boasted a total of nine golden grains. This signified that the soul ring's age had reached the million-year level.
It was the same rank as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's own rings—perhaps even older!
The fused soul ring shimmered with a golden radiance, emitting a light so brilliant and piercing that it resembled a second sun, making it impossible for anyone to look at it directly.
"A million-year soul skill..." Gazing at the golden ring above him, Davis suddenly smiled. He looked down at the sea where the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was locked in a fierce battle with the clones. Infinite killing intent surged in his eyes as he sneered.
"Let me see just how terrifying the power of a million-year soul skill truly is!"
The words had barely left his lips when the Star Luo Holy Tiger's soul power flooded into the golden ring. A thunderous roar of the Great Dao erupted, and the ring flashed with an even more blinding golden light.
The radiance covered three hundred miles, illuminating the night sky and dispelling the dark clouds. At this moment, the blue firmament seemed to recede, leaving only a vast, brilliant expanse of gold in the heavens!
Finally, the ambient light vanished, replaced by a concentrated golden glow within the Star Luo Holy Tiger's maw. The soul power of Ultimate Gold swept across the eight directions, as sharp as invisible arrows.
Then, the Star Luo Holy Tiger let out a thunderous roar. A pillar of light, far thicker than a water barrel, shot forth. Like a soaring Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, it charged toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with the force of a splitting bamboo.
The terrifying killing intent contained within the strike instantly drew the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attention, striking fear into its very core!
"This... this feeling is... a Divine Skill!"
Feeling the aura emanating from the light pillar, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression changed to one of horror. Its skin crawled, and it stared at the dazzling beam in disbelief, momentarily forgetting to even dodge.
Of course, the beam was incredibly fast, and given its massive size, the whale couldn't have dodged it even if it tried!
The current White Tiger God-Emperor's Destruction was a million-year soul skill. Its power was no less than that of a true Divine Skill—in fact, it might even be stronger. After all, the age of that golden ring exceeded a million years by several millennia.
"Ninth Soul Skill: White Tiger God-Emperor's Destruction!"
"No! This is impossible! You are merely a puny Titled Douluo, it's impossible for you to use a Divine Skill—"
"ARRRGH—!"
Almost the instant Davis finished speaking, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out an agonizing wail. The scream pierced the clouds and swept across the entire ocean; nearly every sea spirit beast within hundreds of miles heard its mournful cry.
The golden beam did more than just strike the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's back; it tore straight through its massive body, leaving a bloody hole thirty meters in diameter!
Blood sprayed instantly, dyeing the surrounding waters a deep crimson as a thick, metallic scent filled the air.
Fortunately, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had managed to condense its soul power for defense at the last second, causing the beam to hit near its tail. Had it failed to defend, the White Tiger God-Emperor's Destruction would have likely pierced its skull, wiping the beast from existence entirely.
"Is... is this Davis's ninth soul skill? To think it's this terrifying!" Xiao Bai looked at the bloody cavern in the Whale King's body with sheer terror.
She thought to herself that if she were the one facing this move, she would have been blasted into nothingness, leaving not even a scrap behind.
"Hehe, of course! Davis's ninth soul skill is incredibly powerful! It ignores all physical defenses and can only be blocked with pure soul power. It possesses absolute armor-breaking and penetration capabilities!"
Tang Yuehua explained with a smile, "Before the Ring Fusion, Davis could destroy a reef island over three kilometers in diameter with this single move. Now that the rings have merged, its power is exponentially more horrific!"
"..."
Xiao Bai didn't speak, but she couldn't help but nod inwardly. As the Sea God's mount, she had witnessed the Sea God's true power firsthand. In her eyes, the Star Luo Holy Tiger's current combat strength was now second only to that of a true God.
"Cough... ugh..."
"To think... that you possessed such a formidable skill..."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King spoke through its pain, its eyes burning with a rage that seemed ready to spit fire as it glared at the Star Luo Holy Tiger.
"Hmph... however, using such a move must have exhausted your soul power significantly!"
"So what? Do you think you're still in any condition to keep fighting us?" Davis didn't deny it. To heavily wound the Whale King, he had expended fifty percent of his soul power; now, the Star Luo Holy Tiger had barely ten percent remaining.
Forget fighting—even maintaining the form was becoming difficult. Yet, Davis remained composed and unyielding. He knew the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was in no better shape than he was.
"Heh, as things stand, even Senior Xiao Bai alone would be enough to finish you off!"
At these words, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a resentful snort. "Hmph! I'll admit defeat this time. But you'd better watch out. I've memorized your auras. Next time, I will erase you all from this world and devour that little girl!"
With that, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dived into the deep ocean and fled into the distance. Simultaneously, due to extreme soul power exhaustion, Davis was forced to deactivate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The three of them collapsed, panting heavily, onto the corpse of the Evil Spirit Orca King.
"Zhuyun, Zhuqing, are you both alright?"
"Davis, I'm okay," Zhu Zhuyun said, shaking her head. "It's just that my soul power is almost completely drained."
Zhu Zhuqing added, "Brother Davis, I'm the same. I have less than ten percent left."
"Haha, then we really are all in the same boat. I don't even have five percent left..." Davis gave a bitter, weary smile. Though they were in a sorry state, they had succeeded in driving away the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Their efforts had not been in vain.
Turning to Tang Yuehua, Davis said, "Sister Yuehua, I'll have to trouble you to protect Nana while she meditates. We need to recover our soul power first."
