"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Barrier!"
The Vanquishing Devil Douluo's attack was ferocious, leaving the Star Luo Holy Tiger no room to dodge. It could only brace itself.
In an instant, a golden light shield enveloped the Star Luo Holy Tiger, shielding it from the Vanquishing Devil Douluo's first soul skill.
Boom—
With a deafening roar, the Vanquishing Devil Douluo's Coiling Dragon Staff slammed heavily against the golden shield. The strike was immense, powerful enough to shake the heavens, and it instantly cracked the light barrier, revealing the terrifying extent of his power.
The raw strength was only one part of the assault. More deadly were the waves of dragon roars that emanated from the Coiling Dragon Staff, battering the golden barrier.
A harsh "crack, crack, crack" echoed as the fissures spiderwebbed across the shield until it shattered completely.
However, Dai Weisi had no intention of awaiting his doom. On the Star Luo Holy Tiger's forehead, Zhu Zhuqing's Counter-Light Invisibility Skull Bone began to flash brilliantly.
"Soul Bone Skill: Counter-Light Invisibility!"
"Break!"
The Vanquishing Devil Douluo roared, shattering the golden barrier. He then swung his Coiling Dragon Staff down with cataclysmic force, sending fierce gales whipping in all directions as the staff descended like a meteor from the sky.
But in that same instant, the massive Star Luo Holy Tiger vanished before their very eyes, and the Vanquishing Devil Douluo's staff struck nothing but air.
"What? Where did that giant tiger go…"
The Vanquishing Devil Douluo was startled by the disappearance. Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden, cold gust of wind brushed against his back.
Normally, such a cool autumn breeze would be pleasant. But at this moment, terror seized him, his face twisting in shock as he spun around, hastily raising his Coiling Dragon Staff to defend.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Coiling Dragon Protection!"
The staff in his hands spun with incredible speed, forming a disc-like shield to block the attack from behind.
Like Qianjun Douluo, the Vanquishing Devil Douluo also possessed the Coiling Dragon Protection skill. The difference was that for Qianjun Douluo, it was his fourth soul skill, while for the Vanquishing Devil Douluo, it was his fifth.
This meant his version was far more powerful. After all, the gap between a thousand-year and a ten-thousand-year soul skill was as vast as heaven and earth.
"Soul Bone Skill: Darkgold Dreadclaw!"
"Double Nether Hundred Claws!"
The Star Luo Holy Tiger revealed its deadly claws, empowered by the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's external soul bone. Simultaneously, two yellow soul rings flared to life. The tiger swung its claws in a frenzy, relentlessly slashing at the Vanquishing Devil Douluo's Coiling Dragon Staff.
How terrifying was the external soul bone of a Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear? It was a top-tier spirit beast capable of challenging opponents far above its level!
Under Dai Weisi's cultivation, these twin external soul bones had reached a quality equivalent to nearly seventy thousand years.
A ten-thousand-year Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear already possessed strength comparable to a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast. The power these seventy-thousand-year claws granted the Star Luo Holy Tiger was unimaginable.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Star Luo Holy Tiger's claws hammered against the Coiling Dragon Staff. Each blow carried crushing force, driving the Vanquishing Devil Douluo back step after step until he cried out in alarm.
"Damn it! What is with this kid? How can he possess such terrifying strength!"
"Little brother, don't panic! I'm here!" As he spoke, Qianjun Douluo released his spiritual power, roughly locking onto the Star Luo Holy Tiger's position. He gathered his soul power, channeling it into his first and third soul rings.
Instantly, both rings glowed. Veins bulged on Qianjun Douluo's forehead as his muscles swelled, his entire frame growing larger.
"First Soul Skill: Titanic Strength!"
This first soul skill boosted his strength, speed, and defense by fifty percent—an impressive effect for a first skill.
Not only did his body grow larger, but the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hands also expanded to three times its original size.
"Third Soul Skill: Titanic Blow!"
With a shout, Qianjun Douluo swung the enlarged staff at the invisible Star Luo Holy Tiger. The weapon cut through the air with a ferocious, howling wind.
The attack was overwhelming. Despite its tripled size, he wielded the staff with perfect ease, bringing it down in a devastating arc.
With no time to dodge, the Star Luo Holy Tiger could only endure the blow. Its third soul ring, a deep purple, flared brightly.
"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Weisi activated his third soul skill. The Star Luo Holy Tiger's muscles swelled violently, much like Qianjun Douluo's, drastically increasing its defense and resistance to status effects.
Boom—
At that moment, Qianjun Douluo's staff connected, the immense force hurling the Star Luo Holy Tiger through the air. The beast crashed to the ground like a bird with broken wings.
Meanwhile, Dai Weisi felt his qi and blood churn. Even with his defenses doubled, his meridians and dantian were left numb from the sheer power of Qianjun Douluo's attack.
Still, his condition was far better than Zhu Zhuyun's and Zhu Zhuqing's.
The two women lacked Dai Weisi's physical fortitude. The single blow from Qianjun Douluo was enough to injure them, causing both to cough up blood.
"Zhuyun, Zhuqing, are you alright?"
"Brother Dai Weisi, my sister and I can still fight. Go all out! Don't let them look down on us!"
Seeing their injuries were only minor, Dai Weisi breathed a sigh of relief. The killing intent in his eyes intensified as his mind raced.
My soul power is almost depleted. This next move has to cripple them!
His resolve hardened, Dai Weisi commanded the Star Luo Holy Tiger to rise into the air, once again facing the two Elders.
Seeing the weakened state of the Star Luo Holy Tiger, the Vanquishing Devil Douluo sneered.
"Brats, still not ready to surrender? Let me tell you, even the Grand Elder has to show us proper respect."
Dai Weisi remained silent, focusing his soul power into his left arm. In the next instant, the light of a soul bone erupted from the Star Luo Holy Tiger's left limb.
"A soul bone?"
"Just how many soul bones do these brats have?"
"Soul Bone Skill: Domain of Darkness!"
While the two Elders were still in shock, a dense black mist poured out, instantly engulfing them.
"Not good! Brother, I can't see a thing! And…" The Vanquishing Devil Douluo's voice filled with panic. "This mist… it's corroding my soul power!"
"Calm down, little brother!" In contrast to his panicked sibling, Qianjun Douluo remained composed.
"Release your spiritual power and find that Star Luo Holy Tiger. Then, attack with full force! Once we take that tiger down, all of his techniques will break on their own."
"Right." The Vanquishing Devil Douluo immediately did as he was told.
"Trying to pinpoint us with spiritual power? Fine, I'll give you a little surprise first. Soul Bone Skill: Netherworld Space!"
Buzz—
Suddenly, as the two were scanning with their spiritual power, their senses trembled violently. A look of shared horror appeared on their faces, as if they were being watched by an abyss. An bone-deep chill and a suffocating despair instantly flooded their hearts.
