Killing intent and sword intent, already manifesting as if material, erupted abruptly. Pure white ripples expanded from Gu Xuan's body, and an endless aura of slaughter instantly spread, overlapping with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Demon Whale Domain.
"Death God Domain—Asura Hell—Open!"
This was an evolved domain Gu Xuan had comprehended by combining the Death God Domain with his own sword dao. Enemies within the domain would be suppressed by twenty percent, while Gu Xuan's own strength would increase by twenty percent. Simultaneously, within the domain's range, endless sword qi infused with majestic killing intent crisscrossed the area.
The power of this sword qi was comparable to a Titled Douluo's ninth soul skill. Those struck would be heavily injured at best and killed at worst; furthermore, because the wounds were permeated with endless sword intent and slaughtering aura, they would not heal for a long time.
The Demon Whale Domain was undoubtedly a top-tier domain. Even when facing Gu Xuan's evolved domain, it remained unaffected. Both Gu Xuan and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were influenced by each other's domains, but under neutralization, their strengths remained evenly matched. However, within the domains, the power they each released was more fluid and potent.
"Water—Thunder—War God Hammer!"
On the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pair of giant hammers, two attributes that were nearly at their peak began to circulate. This was actually a combined soul skill, and its power was far greater than the sum of its parts.
Gu Xuan, however, showed little emotion, for he was entirely unafraid.
"Seven Kill Sword Art, Tenth Form—One Sword Pierces the Vault!"
Simultaneously, Gu Xuan's right hand transformed into five dark-golden claws, each a meter long. As the claws struck, five beams of dark-golden light erupted, overlapping and stacking with the heaven-shocking sword strike Gu Xuan had unleashed, locking onto and attacking the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Dark Golden Dreadclaw External Soul Bone Skill: Sky-Tearing Claw!"
The shocking sword qi and the five dark-golden blades combined in the void to form the character for 'Kill.' Under the extreme slaughtering aura and the domineering, peerless sword intent, the majesty of this 'Kill' character reached its peak.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King swung its dual hammers. The 'War God Hammer' blended its own soul power, momentum, and the nearly peak water and thunder elements. Completely merging its physical strength and soul power, the resulting combat power was also terrifyingly immense.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King swung its giant hammers repeatedly against Gu Xuan's 'Kill' character. Although the whale was forced backward by the bombardment, the momentum of Gu Xuan's attack was also gradually weakening.
Gu Xuan naturally wouldn't let the Deep Sea Demon Whale King continue its defense. He suddenly threw the dragon sword from his hand. His entire body overflowed with sword intent, and the dragon sword transformed in mid-air into a thirty-meter-long sword-dragon, charging toward the whale with endless sword momentum.
"Sword-Dragon Eight Wings External Soul Bone Skill: Flying Dragon Piercing Heaven!"
Simultaneously, Gu Xuan's left arm erupted with azure light. The entire arm seemed to transform into an azure dragon limb, with azure dragon scales appearing in neat rows. Gu Xuan's dragon claw made a grasping motion, and the sound of azure thunder exploded in his palm as terrifying lightning abruptly condensed.
"Azure Sky Bull Python Left Arm Soul Bone Skill: Azure Sky Annihilating Thunder!"
As his left arm struck out, a thunder-dragon composed entirely of azure lightning appeared, locking onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale King alongside the sword-dragon like two dragons playing with a pearl!
A terrifying killing intent was revealed. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt its scalp tingle. It had just neutralized Gu Xuan's 'Kill' character, and now another combined soul skill was coming?
Furthermore, just as Gu Xuan activated these two soul bone skills, a circle of silver-white halo expanded from his body. When the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was enveloped by this halo, it felt its speed slow down, while the opponent's attacks actually became faster.
In an instant, the whale understood what this was. A domain! Another domain!!
What the Deep Sea Demon Whale King found unbelievable was how a human could possess two domains. For an ordinary human Soul Master to possess one domain was already a sign of extraordinary talent. Not only was the human it faced ridiculously strong, but he also had two domains?
"Time Domain!"
Gu Xuan had quietly activated the Time Domain while launching his two soul bone skills. With his current strength, even without using his Martial Soul Avatar, he was capable of controlling the flow of time by up to ten times.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was at the same level of strength, and a same-level Time Domain was powerful, its influence on such a powerhouse was actually limited. However, Gu Xuan had released the domain quietly while using powerful soul bone skills, utilizing the massive soul power fluctuations of the skills to mask the formation of the domain. This left the whale with no time to react.
By the time it wanted to react, it was already too late, as the Time Domain had already taken effect. Feeling its own speed decrease, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was shocked and surprised, but this was not enough to make it show fear. If the human form was no match for Gu Xuan, then it would simply use its full power.
Moreover, although the two soul bone skills Gu Xuan launched were powerful, it wasn't as if the whale couldn't defend against them. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly threw its giant hammers to intercept the two dragons, and then its body abruptly expanded. In just an instant, it transformed into a hundred-meter-long Deep Sea Demon Whale!
The hammers neutralized a portion of the twin dragons' attack power, and then the whale used the terrifying presence generated by the appearance of its true body to directly annihilate the dragons.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body was not actually at its maximum size. If maximized, it could reach a thousand meters. However, a hundred-meter body was sufficient to exert its full strength without suffering more damage due to being too massive, which was why it chose this size.
Yet everything seemed to be within Gu Xuan's calculations. Just as the whale's true body appeared, another azure dragon soul charged toward it. Sensing the terrifying majesty of the dragon soul and remembering the power of the previous azure lightning dragon, the whale chose not to take it head-on.
With a roar, a screen of water rose, forming a hundred-meter-long terrifying defensive shield. Furthermore, endless water elements formed a thick layer of water armor on its skin, bringing its defensive power to a horrifying level.
However, this azure dragon soul seemed to defy its expectations. The soul passed directly through the water screen and, accelerated by the Time Domain, struck its body directly.
The moment it was hit, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King regretted underestimating Gu Xuan. Its senses dropped by a staggering ten times. Combined with the influence of the Time Domain, the whale felt a spark of fear for the first time.
The skill that had dulled its senses was none other than Gu Xuan's Azure Sky Bull Python Left Arm Soul Bone Skill: Azure Sky Slowing Divine Claw!
This was a powerful restrictive ability from the Azure Sky Bull Python. Once the enemy was hit, all their senses would be slowed tenfold. Neutralizing this skill was actually quite simple: one only needed to use a dynamic energy attack with the power of at least an eighth soul skill to offset it.
However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King did not understand Gu Xuan's various abilities. Additionally, Gu Xuan had deliberately used the Azure Sky Annihilating Thunder earlier to mislead the whale, causing it to fall for the trap. Both the Annihilating Thunder and the Slowing Divine Claw were launched in the form of an azure dragon soul, and both carried the terrifying majesty of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Although the whale had just released a terrifying defensive skill that should have made it invincible, the Azure Sky Slowing Divine Claw was not a physical attack; it was an energy attack that ignored all physical defense!
"This is impossible!" it roared, as endless soul power surged on its skin in an attempt to break through the restrictions.
But in the next moment, two dark-red beams of light shot toward its body and its massive eyes.
"Evil Spirit Orca King Skull Bone Soul Skill: Evil Spirit Orca's Mental Fixation! Orca Evil Mirror's Destruction!"
These were two powerful control-type soul skills granted to Gu Xuan by the Evil Spirit Orca King's skull bone.
Evil Spirit Orca's Gaze could forcibly stun any Soul Master or soul beast whose mental power did not exceed Gu Xuan's for three seconds. The lower the opponent's mental power, the longer the stun duration. If the opponent's mental power was less than half of Gu Xuan's, they would suffer a terrifying mental shock and become an idiot. If their mental power was even lower, they might simply explode and die from the mental intrusion!
Orca Evil Mirror's Destruction was a physical control skill. Once struck, the opponent's body would transform into a special dark-red crystal. Unless their strength was sufficiently vast, they would be trapped within the crystal forever, becoming a work of art.
Both control skills were absolutely powerful existences. Especially now that Gu Xuan's mental power had reached the Rank 99 Peerless Douluo level, aside from the gods, even a fellow Rank 99 Peerless Douluo struck by these two skills would surely fall under control! This was Gu Xuan's current strength.
Under Gu Xuan's exquisite control, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was first affected by the Time Domain, then struck by the Azure Sky Slowing Divine Claw, and finally subjected to these two terrifying control skills. In just an instant, the whale fell into a state of total passivity.
Although releasing several hundred-thousand-year soul skills in succession rapidly consumed Gu Xuan's soul power, compared to his soul power, which had been compressed several times over, this consumption was something he could sustain.
Seeing the whale controlled, Gu Xuan did not pause for a second, for he knew well the terror and power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
With his mental power, he instantly manipulated the dragon sword that had just been broken by the whale's massive transformation. Under his command, the sword segments abruptly formed a killing array—the second soul bone skill of the Sword-Dragon Eight Wings: Eight Directions Hexagram Sword Array!
Simultaneously, his eyes shot out two beams of light, one azure and one dark red. The beams transformed into two hundred-meter-long giant beasts: the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Evil Spirit Orca King. Upon appearing, the two beasts attacked the whale without a word.
The Evil Spirit Orca King, in particular, was ecstatic. As an overlord of the sea, there was one terrifying existence above it: the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The whale had once been a being it feared and avoided, but now, it had stood up. Being able to follow Gu Xuan and suppress such a deep-sea overlord was no different from Gu Xuan challenging and suppressing a god. Only the Orca King could understand and feel this excitement.
Thus, the Orca King was incredibly thrilled, exerting every ounce of its strength to suppress the true overlord of the sea.
All of this was orchestrated by Gu Xuan in an instant. Then, his red seventh soul ring lit up. Accompanied by the blood-red light unique to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, Gu Xuan's entire being transformed into a hundred-meter-long dark-silver Bone Dragon, letting out a roar toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The moment the Bone Dragon appeared, an incomparably terrifying dragon authority was revealed. Even a creature as terrifying as the whale felt a suppression and pressure as if coming from a superior being.
The events occurring in rapid succession left the Deep Sea Demon Whale King even more shocked. Leaving the Azure Sky Bull Python aside—as it didn't recognize the beast—the creature's skills were simply too disgusting, leaving the whale still in a stunned state. But it recognized the Evil Spirit Orca King! It had bullied the Orca King in the past. How had this fellow become a human's soul ring? And how was it still alive, with its strength even greater than before?!
How was this possible?! Although the whale disliked the Orca King, it knew the beast's temperament; that fellow would never have any dealings with humans, only hatred!
While the whale's mind was racing, it no longer had time to think. In truth, Gu Xuan's Orca Evil Mirror's Destruction had not crystallized its body, only the Black Water Demon Armor on its skin. However, the Evil Spirit Orca's Gaze had struck it, resulting in a forced three-second stun.
The series of skills Gu Xuan had just released took only a little over a second. There were still nearly two seconds left, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could not move at all, for one cannot manipulate soul power to use soul skills while stunned. It could only try to gather all its soul power on its skin to form a thick defense.
In the next moment, the Azure Sky Bull Python's body coiled around it. It did not attack but instead activated its own control skills.
"Slowing Domain—Open!"
"Azure Sky Divine Dragon Coiling Tenacity!"
The already restricted Deep Sea Demon Whale King was controlled once more. Under the influence of the Slowing Domain, combined with the Time Domain and the Slowing Divine Claw, even its soul power mobilization became much slower.
'Damn it! How does this human have so many soul skills? Just control and restriction skills alone, there are this many! What kind of monster is this?!'
Furthermore, as Gu Xuan released his Martial Soul Avatar, the whale noticed the soul ring configuration on his body: two yellow, one purple, two black, and three red. Eight soul rings, two of which were ten-thousand-year rings, while the hundred-thousand-year rings actually reached three?!
Even that stinking woman Bo Saixi's soul ring configuration was only eight black and one red. This human actually possessed three hundred-thousand-year-old rings?!
At this point, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had a suspicion: perhaps this human was the successor of some deity. Although not a successor of the Sea God, his strength was already terrifying. From the start of the battle until now, it, the majestic overlord of the sea, had been suppressed, and now it had completely lost the ability to resist, falling into true passivity!
Facing three hundred-meter-long giant beasts (Azure Sky Bull Python, Orca King, and Bone Dragon) and a terrifying killing array, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt a rare sense of fear. It felt that it truly might be defeated by this human, or even die. Besides this ridiculously strong human, there were two other capable humans watching intently!
