528. Near Titled Douluo

All the power of the thousand-year soul ring surged madly into Qian Renjue's left arm.

Boom!

The ice surface shattered.

A massive iceberg, over fifty meters in diameter, instantly lifted the thirty-meter-long Evil Spirit Orca King.

"Roar!"

The Evil Spirit Orca King let out a furious roar.

On the ice surface, the struggling Evil Spirit Orcas, attempting to break free from their group's restraints, were swiftly eliminated by the Ice Empress.

At this moment, the Evil Spirit Orca King was completely isolated.

"I'll control, you handle the attack."

No chance was given.

Before Qian Renjue's words had even fully fallen, his seventh and eighth soul rings lit up simultaneously.

A nearly hundred-meter-tall Fallen Angel True Form hovered in the air.

Qian Renjue raised both hands.
The Fallen Angel True Form followed suit, and with a simple gesture, glacial walls seemed to rise on both sides of the iceberg.

Eighth Soul Skill: Fallen Angel Ice Coffin!

The glacier barriers surged over the iceberg, collapsing upon the Evil Spirit Orca King at the peak.

Boom!
The glaciers clashed together, resembling the sealing of a coffin.

Crushed between the ice, the Evil Demon Orca King let out cries of pain and terror.

Even through the layers of ice, it could sense the warm sunlight outside.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Golden Flame Army Breaker!"

Qian Renxue let out a soft cry.

Her seventh and eighth soul rings also lit up, unleashing a rain of divine flames that poured down like swords.

Her left leg gleamed with golden light, creating a gap in the solid glacier.

"Huh?"

Qian Renjue's eyes flashed with surprise.

He hadn’t expected the Angel God’s inherited soul bone to contain spatial abilities.

Through the broken ice layer, the golden dragon-like sword rain surged forward, bombarding the Evil Spirit Orca King.

"Roar——"

Its body was riddled with wounds, its soul power rapidly dissipating.

Even self-destruction was impossible.

Boom!
The sword rain pierced through the ice, carrying a thick mist of blood.

The ice coffin began to crumble, and the Evil Spirit Orca King's lifeless body fell with chunks of ice, crashing onto the frozen ground.

Slash!

Behind Qian Renjue, the shadowy Fallen Angel unhesitatingly swung its long sword.

The Evil Spirit Orca King was beheaded.

A crimson soul ring gradually condensed over its massive body.

The ice was drenched with the stench of blood.

Qian Renxue’s elegant figure landed gracefully, resting lightly on Qian Renjue’s right shoulder.

Her jade-like hand caressed his handsome left profile, a smile on her face.

"We did it~"

"Hmm. Withdraw your power."

Qian Renjue nodded slightly, giving a cold command.

"What are you planning?"

Although Qian Renxue was puzzled, she still complied, retracting all her energy.

Qian Renjue activated the Fallen Angel Domain.

The lingering divine aura in the air was steadily assimilated and devoured.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue suddenly understood.

Her power lingering in this sea area was indeed inappropriate.

It could easily lead people to associate the event with Spirit Hall.

But Qian Renjue was different.

As long as no one spoke of it, even if the people of Sea God Island racked their brains, they would never suspect that the Evil Spirit Orca King had been slain by someone from the Qian family.

The Ice Empress, panting heavily, shrank down and landed on Qian Renjue’s left shoulder.



Crack!

The ice surface continued to fracture.

"Take its body. We're heading back."

Qian Renjue deactivated his martial soul possession.

The side effect of detonating a purple soul ring was merely a couple of heavy breaths—already long gone.

"Alright."

Qian Renxue waved her hand.

The [Life Ring], with its hundred-meter storage space, easily accommodated the Evil Spirit Orca King's corpse.

Whale jelly was a special substance found in the brains of oceanic whale soul beasts.

With such a massive brain from the Evil Spirit Orca King, they certainly wouldn't let it go to waste.

Qian Renjue hugged his knees.

The Evil God Hook trembled, and the pitch-black space swallowed them.

The Evil God's Heart, glowing in dark purple, followed closely behind.

Boom! Splash!

The ice continued to crack. Seawater gushed through the gaps as the Evil Spirit Orcas frantically broke through the ice.

Their cries of grief and fury echoed.

The blood of their fallen king spread across the sea, driving them into a violent frenzy.

Yet, the enemy had left nothing behind but shattered ice floating across the water—along with that overwhelming aura of darkness.

With no one left to seek revenge upon, the Evil Spirit Orca horde went into a rampage, surging wildly toward Sea God Island.

They could understand the words of their fallen king.

Without him…

Their fate when encountering the Demon Soul Great White Sharks was clear—utter defeat and retreat in disgrace.

As for the whereabouts of the Evil Demon Orca King, the forces of Sea God Island could only confirm his death—yet had no way of knowing whose hands had slain him.

Three Days Later

Inside the Life Ring's manor, an ominous energy churned.

On the rooftop.

Qian Renjue’s soul power surged from his body, darkening the sky over a 200-meter radius.

A crimson soul ring settled firmly beneath his feet.

His left leg glowed with a blood-red light.

With the help of a [Soul Ring Replacement Card], Qian Renjue successfully replaced his second soul ring with that of the Evil Spirit Orca King.

Additionally, he obtained a 100,000-year left leg bone.

Hu Liena looked up at the young man, who floated midair, stretching his body.

Her eyes sparkled with admiration and joy.

"Senior Brother succeeded!"

"He's already broken through level 90."

Bibi Dong, holding Qian Renxue's delicate hand, stood beneath the eaves, her gaze filled with gratification.

"This is wonderful! Sister is finally coming to join me~"

The Ice Empress let out an excited shriek.

But her joyful expression gradually faded, replaced by a hint of guilt.

If Snow Empress was coming over…
Wouldn't that mean she'd have to sneak around even more?

As the sky over the manor brightened once again, the cold aura surrounding Qian Renjue dissipated.

His violet eyes flickered open, radiating warmth.

At his feet, eight powerful soul rings glowed—black, red, purple, black, black, black, red, red.

Now—

His second soul skill had evolved from Netherworld Binding Chains to Evil Demon Replication Mirror and Orca Fang Slash.

The Evil Demon Replication Mirror was a mirror-mimic ability, replicating an attacker's techniques and materializing them through the mirror.

The Orca Fang Frenzied Slash was an offensive skill, mirroring the crimson water blades once wielded by the Evil Demon Orca King.

The 100,000-year Evil Spirit Orca King's left leg bone granted Qian Renjue two additional abilities:

1. Evil Demon Berserker Axe – a powerful single-target attack.


2. Evil Demon Orca’s Strength – an ability that significantly amplifies physical power.



"Mom, Sister."

Qian Renjue smiled as he stood before Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

"Not bad. You're about to break through to Title Douluo, which means you're now qualified to inherit the position of Pope."

Bibi Dong gently patted Qian Renjue’s chest.

Qian Renxue, holding onto Bibi Dong’s arm, grinned mischievously.

"Mon, rather than worrying about that, shouldn't we come up with a Title for him first?"

"That’s actually a great idea~"

Bibi Dong's enchanting eyes sparkled as she sized up Qian Renjue, making him feel slightly uneasy.

"Jue~ Have you decided on your Title yet?"

"Not yet."

Qian Renjue shook his head with a smile.

Facing these two, he didn’t really want to participate in the naming process.

He had already lost all say in the matter anyway.

As long as they didn’t conspire to name him something ridiculous like Winter Snow Douluo, he could probably accept it… probably.

"Then it should be fine if we decide for you, right?"

Qian Renxue, smiling sweetly, grabbed Qian Renjue’s collar with a hint of coercion.

"Of course, no problem."

Qian Renjue smiled and nodded—his fate now in their hands.
