"God?"
Davis let out a cold sneer. "A so-called god is nothing more than a slightly more powerful Spirit Master. They can be cut down and killed just the same. There is nothing remarkable about them!"
As he spoke, a fanatical battle intent flickered within his heterochromatic eyes of red and blue. A powerful aura erupted from his body, surging with a force that was only a fraction weaker than Qian Renxue's, yet exponentially more formidable than anyone else present.
Simultaneously, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing soared into the sky, positioning themselves at his side. Both sisters released their martial souls in a synchronized burst of energy, standing ready to initiate their Spirit Fusion Skill at a moment's notice.
"Qian Renxue, if you insist on fighting us, then today shall be the day I slay a god!"
The moment those words left his mouth, the members of the Spirit Empire, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, wore expressions of utter disdain. A mere mortal harboring the ambition to slay a god? It was a whimsical fantasy, an arrogant display of someone overestimating their own capabilities!
Yet, despite their mockery, a sliver of respect managed to take root in their hearts. To stand before a true deity and remain neither humble nor pushy—even daring to shout the words "Godslaying" at the top of one's lungs—Davis's sheer gall and courage were truly peerless under heaven.
"In that case, let us begin! I will show you the true, insurmountable chasm that lies between a god and a mortal."
"Then bring it on!" While speaking, Davis had already condensed his soul power and unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar. He gave a subtle, covert signal to the Zhu sisters, preparing to activate their fusion.
Understanding his intent, the two women reached out, pressing their soft, jade-like hands firmly against Davis's back.
Below them, seeing that the conflict was about to erupt, Dai Tianxing shouted urgently, "Quickly! Sect Master Ning, support Davis at once!"
"Understood!" Ning Fengzhi nodded repeatedly. He was not a man who lacked perspective; he knew that at this moment, Davis was the Star Luo Empire's only hope, and their only chance at survival.
"Elder Wenze!"
"On it!"
In an instant, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Wenze both released their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas. They spared no effort, pouring out every possible attribute buff onto the trio in the sky.
Although Davis was at the peak of the Demi-God rank, his combat power had technically already crossed the threshold of divinity. Consequently, the auxiliary effects of the Glazed Tile Pagoda provided almost no benefit to him.
However, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were still only Titled Douluos, not gods. Therefore, the soul skills of the Pagoda could still drastically enhance their various attributes, bolstering the sisters' combat effectiveness.
As streaks of radiant light surged into their bodies, the sisters' attributes nearly doubled. With the support of two high-level auxiliary Spirit Masters, their individual combat power surged to a level rivaling a Rank 98 Super Douluo.
Even without utilizing their Spirit Fusion Skill, the two of them working together would now be capable of fighting a Peerless Douluo to a standstill!
"It's the boost from Sect Master Ning and the others." Zhu Zhuyun's expression brightened with joy. With this, their chances of defeating Qian Renxue increased significantly.
With their combat power fully augmented, a rainbow-colored aurora shot straight into the clouds, suddenly illuminating the entire firmament with ten thousand streaks of brilliant light.
A moment later, the light vanished, replaced by a colossal figure—the Star Luo Holy Tiger. Following Davis's ascension to Demi-God status, the size of this Holy Tiger had reached a staggering fifty meters, roughly a quarter of the size of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
As its size grew, its strength and speed far surpassed anything seen before. Infused with the combined power of Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, the Star Luo Holy Tiger's aura was now not the least bit inferior to that of Qian Renxue.
"What terrifying pressure... it's actually on par with the Empress..." Yue Guan stared up at the Star Luo Holy Tiger, unable to suppress a gasp of terror. With the combat power this tiger displayed, he suspected it would take less than a second for it to kill him!
As the three merged into the Holy Tiger, even Qian Renxue couldn't help but grow cautious. A trace of solemnity finally appeared between her brows.
"Strike first to gain the upper hand!"
"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"First Soul Skill: Double Hell Stab!"
In an instant, three pitch-black soul rings flashed violently—Davis's third ring and the first rings of the Zhu sisters. A tyrannical explosion of soul power erupted.
Whoosh—
The sound of breaking wind howled through the air. The Star Luo Holy Tiger's speed was already unrivaled under heaven, but under the reinforcement of three different amplification soul skills, its speed increased tenfold. It moved like a bolt of lightning, reaching at least fifteen times the speed of sound, perhaps even faster!
Given the gravitational strength of the Douluo Planet, the Star Luo Holy Tiger now possessed enough momentum to break through the atmosphere and charge directly into the vacuum of space.
In the blink of an eye, the accelerated tiger appeared directly in front of Qian Renxue. Its sharp claws lunged forward with heavy force, each claw-tip resembling an indestructible spear aimed straight for her chest.
Those powerful tiger paws were equipped with the Dark Golden Terrorclaws. As Davis's strength had improved, the grade of these external spirit bones had continuously evolved. They had now reached the standard of Divine Tools, more than capable of inflicting damage upon a god.
They were only lacking when compared to Transcendental Divine Tools like the Sea God's Trident or the Angelic Sacred Sword.
"This is the power of a mortal! Qian Renxue, take this!" As he spoke, the claws bore down heavily on her vital point. The fierce winds generated by the strike scattered her fragrant golden hair. It seemed as though, in the very next second, her heart would be pierced through. And yet...
Clang—
While the ideal was beautiful, the reality was cruel! Qian Renxue made only a single movement to block this powerful and potentially fatal blow: she simply held her sword horizontally before her.
"How is this possible!"
The expressions of both Davis and Qian Renxue changed simultaneously. Qian Renxue's face turned pale as she stared in disbelief at the dark-gold tiger before her.
Although the Angelic Sacred Sword had intercepted the Tiger's tearing claws, the terrifying physical strength behind that strike had been transmitted through the blade and into her body.
Qian Renxue felt a sudden, sharp pain in her sword-hand, as if her bones were about to shatter. She couldn't help but gasp, her feet skidding back three steps across the air.
Though it was only three steps, it proved beyond a doubt that the Star Luo Holy Tiger's attack had been effective!
"What?"
"There's a chance!"
The spectators below, seeing Qian Renxue forced back three steps, all wore expressions of sheer disbelief.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was aghast. "This is impossible. Her Majesty is the Angel God! How could she be pushed back by a mere mortal?"
"Hahaha! The Angel God? It seems she's nothing special after all!" In contrast to Golden Crocodile's shock, Dai Tianxing was all smiles, his heart finally feeling a sense of relief.
While Qian Renxue was formidable, she didn't seem impossibly overpowered. This meant that even if Anna couldn't make it back in time, they might not necessarily fall to the Spirit Empire's invasion.
"How did this happen?"
Both Davis and Qian Renxue were currently wearing shocked expressions. Davis was amazed by her reaction speed; the Holy Tiger was as fast as a lightning strike, yet she had blocked it so effortlessly.
In reality, it wasn't that her physical speed was superior, but rather her terrifying mental power. Her divine sense now far exceeded Davis's, covering the entire battlefield like radar. Every movement within a ten-thousand-foot radius—down to the swaying of a single blade of grass—could not escape her perception.
By calculating the trajectory of the Star Luo Holy Tiger's attack in advance, she had predicted the strike and performed a precision defense.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue was genuinely stunned by the Star Luo Holy Tiger's raw, brute strength!
