Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 240: A Hundred-Thousand-Year-Old Demonic Orca King Horde, One Man Fights Him, Title-Level Battle Power
On the forty-ninth day, the final trial arrived as scheduled.

On the soul-guided ship, Xu Tianxi looked at the large group of orcas surging towards him on the distant sea and his eyelids twitched: "Grandmaster, weren't we supposed to be looking for a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Why are there so many of them?"

He had seen that group of orcas before; they were none other than the Demon Orcas, one of the three dominant species in the near seas. Apart from the 100,000-year-old Demon Orca King leading the group, there were more than thirty orcas following behind.

I've never seen this lineup before; it's quite challenging.

Xu Xiaoyun, who descended from the sky, looked at the pod of orcas and shook his head:

“I didn’t attract them. They were drawn here last night by the blood of the deep-sea whale. I deliberately led them in circles, which is why it’s been delayed until now.”

"I'm thinking that fighting a 100,000-year-old soul beast is one thing, but fighting a 100,000-year-old soul beast plus a group of 10,000-year-old and 1,000-year-old orcas is another. So I might as well let you gain more experience, so that the pressure will be greater."

Xu Tianxi, who had just eaten a whale brain feast this morning, stiffened upon hearing this and seemed reluctant to speak.

"Don't worry, this time you can do whatever you want, use all the methods you want, we'll cover for you."

As Xu Xiaoyun spoke, she took out an exquisite jade box and handed it over, saying, "These are the pills I refined. Take them first before you start fighting; they will be absorbed better."

"Alright then, if I still can't bring out their potential this time, I can relax and take a break."

Xu Tianxi glanced at the group of orcas with some apprehension, then took the jade box, opened it, and swallowed a milky-white pill the size of a longan.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, its fragrant aroma filling his mouth. It transformed into streams of dragon and tiger power that surged into his limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints. Xu Tianxi felt his entire body surging with power. If he didn't meditate and cultivate at this moment, he would have to fight a great battle.

Without hesitation, Xu Tianxi gripped the dark gold Xuanwu Shield in his left hand amidst the halo of light. The purplish-black dragon on the shield seemed ready to pounce, its forked horns protruding, its scales rugged, its eyes filled with power, and it had four legs and four claws growing beneath it, already transforming into a true dragon.

He didn't care about this destructive aura that was only visible but not usable. With a thought, he summoned the Silver Moon Wolf King.

"Ouch!"

A silvery-white light flew out from Xu Tianxi's eyes, transforming into the spirit of the Silver Moon Wolf King, which was over five meters tall and over ten meters long. Its majestic body was covered in rustling wolf fur, and its cold wolf eyes reflected a dazzling ferocity. Its aura was vastly different from when it first formed its spirit.

The Silver Moon Wolf King glanced into the distance and saw several ancient orcas churning their bodies, whipping out their beautiful and powerful tail fins as water tornadoes roared towards them. He couldn't help but emit mental fluctuations:
"Boss, isn't this opponent a bit too strong?"

Xu Tianxi benefited greatly during the forty-eight days, and he also reaped many benefits. Every day, he was devoured by ten-thousand-year soul rings, and his cultivation level increased by a rocket. Although he had not yet reached one hundred thousand years, he was not far off and could communicate with Xu Tianxi through mental thoughts.

"Of course you have to be strong! How can it be challenging if you're not strong? If you pull off this job and devour their spirit rings, Little Silver, you'll be the Wolf King for a hundred thousand years! You can even be called an emperor back in the Jingyang Mountains!"

Xu Tianxi loudly encouraged the Silver Moon Wolf King, telling his companion to be more spirited and not to embarrass himself.

During this period, the Silver Moon Wolf King's strength improved by leaps and bounds, which also benefited his master's soul power and mental power, especially his mental power.

Upon hearing that he could become the Wolf King, the Silver Moon Wolf King's eyes gleamed. "Alright! To become the Wolf King, I, the old wolf, will fight them to the death today! But boss, the depths of the Jingyang Mountains might not be as simple as you imagine. I've heard that there's a great terror lurking on the main peak, Jingyang Peak..."

"We'll talk about those things later. Let's take care of these guys first; they're coming soon."

Xu Tianxi interrupted Xiao Yin, raised his eyes, and the azure sky darkened. A full moon appeared in the void, and silvery-white light descended from the sky, striking the waterspout and making a series of booming sounds.

"Certainly!"

Xu Tianxi flashed and stood atop the Silver Moon Wolf King's head, the Dark Gold Xuanwu Shield held horizontally in front of him, unleashing its ultimate power, and the surrounding churning sea strangely calmed down.

"Roar—" A deep roar resounded. The Demon Orca King noticed his subordinate's defeat, gathered the power of the ocean, and spewed out a thick column of water in the shape of an orca. The water column contained a bloodthirsty spiritual will, which was terrifying.

Seeing this, Xu Tianxi was not afraid but rather pleased, his gaze sharpening, "Welcome!"

With a thought, Xu Tianxi, who had been in close contact with the sea for forty-eight days, had become a mature water-attribute soul master. He used his will to mobilize the power of the ocean, and with the power of the Xuanwu as a medium, everything was accomplished naturally.

A large amount of azure seawater was mobilized, merging with wind elements to form several overwhelming tornadoes. Xu Tianxi narrowed his eyes, his dark soul light intensified, and his eyes turned silver-white in an instant. A powerful and abyss-like spiritual aura burst forth, and three feet of silver light shot out from his pupils.

In an instant, a substantial spiritual will clashed with the bloodthirsty will of the demonic orca king, and the tornado storm containing extreme pressure collided with the orca's water column.

The sea area within a radius of several nautical miles seemed to tremble violently for a moment. The sea, which had just calmed down, suddenly became turbulent. Tornado storms and killer whale water columns collapsed one after another, and the enormous force made the sea surface roll endlessly.

"A Sea Soul Master with the cultivation of a Title Douluo?" The Demonic Tiger Whale King transmitted a cold thought, carrying a long-range killing intent. Soul Masters below the Title Douluo level would have their mental power disturbed upon contact with it.

"You can think so!"

Xu Tianxi retaliated with his mental power, which secretly alarmed Ye Yulin and Xu Fu, who dared not underestimate him.

At this moment, Xu Tianxi's mental strength had already reached the level of a Title Douluo, becoming tenacious and unbreakable.

But right now, he's only a level 54 peak Soul King.

With this, he still cannot compete with a Title Douluo on land. The difference between soul power and soul core is an insurmountable chasm. However, the ocean has the power of the boundless sea that he can mobilize at will. On the ocean, he has the combat power of a Title Douluo!
"Awoo~!" The Silver Moon Wolf King, whose cultivation was approaching 100,000 years, howled proudly, demonstrating its presence. Xu Tianxi's mental power took the final step, and besides the high pressure these days and the nutritional meals of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, its help was also indispensable.

"on!"

With his confidence greatly boosted, Xu Tianxi stepped out on the wolf. The power of the sea smoothly opened a path in front of the Dark Gold Xuanwu Shield. The Silver Moon Wolf King paddled its four legs, walking on the wide and calm water as if on flat ground. With its mouth open, it spewed out elemental light balls, surrounded by seven-colored flowing light.

His willpower was unwavering, second only to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and Xu Tianxi, and surpassing the many orca minions behind the Demon Orca King.

Follow Brother Xu, and you'll eat nine meals a day, fight bloody battles today, and live for ten thousand years tomorrow!
"Hmph, a mere junior who has just entered the Title Douluo realm dares to challenge me? He truly doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth! Did you think that attack just now was my full strength? Attack!"

The Demon Orca King stared coldly at Xu Tianxi with icy eyes, uttering a mocking remark.

He had come with his underlings to hunt the deep-sea demon whale, not wanting to clash with a human expert of unknown strength. But Xu Tianxi had taken the initiative to charge, so how could he back down? Their bloodthirsty nature and the pride of being the overlord of the ocean would not allow them to back down!
He knew that the human's soul power was strange, which had weakened his probing attack by three-tenths before it could even be unleashed, thus preventing him from gaining any advantage. But this only piqued his interest more.

"Roar—roar—roar—"

Behind the Demon Orca King, more than twenty ancient orcas roared out, churning the wind and clouds with their bodies. The azure ocean seemed to be churning up a hundred-mile-long torrent, vast and mighty, with a force that shook the heavens and the earth.

The man and the wolf appeared so small in the face of the ocean's power. From the sky, they looked like a small, drifting boat that could be submerged at any moment, powerless to resist.

However, Xu Tianxi raised his shield without changing his expression. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Tail, which had never been seen before, rose high behind him, releasing a beam of emerald light that struck the waves.

The light and shadow of Hyotei emerged behind the scorpion tail of the Ice Jade Emperor, hands on hips, his brownish-yellow pupils revealing an incomparably domineering arrogance and disdain.

A horrifying scene unfolded: wherever the emerald light passed, the surging seawater rapidly turned cold and froze into frost. Starting from Xu Tianxi's body, the surrounding waves all began to freeze.

The aura of the domain emanates; this is the eternally frozen domain of Hyotei.

Xu Tianxi unleashed his spiritual power, urging the ice water to condense into frost and snow, which swept outwards towards the Orca Rift, making the world seem to be divided in two at that moment.

"Boom boom——!"

The violent energy storm was terrifying. The collision not only stunned the Demon Orca King for a moment, but also surprised the people on the Soul Guidance Ship.

Ye Yulin exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? The power of the ocean is boundless. How could Tianxi possibly freeze so much seawater for an attack?"

Xu Fu was also quite puzzled: "If it were me, manipulating seawater wouldn't be difficult, but changing the shape of so much seawater would also consume a lot of soul power. How did he manage to do that?"

Xu Sanshi was dumbfounded and didn't know how to comment. He felt that Xu Tianxi had been too modest before. Being able to be on brotherhood with such a person was both his good fortune and his great misfortune.

Is this his true strength? Facing a 100,000-year-old soul beast without flinching, single-handedly fighting against a group of 10,000-year-old soul beasts?

Xue Di frowned and looked for a while before saying, "He used some extraordinary technique to draw upon the power of the ocean with his spiritual power and the aura of the divine beast Xuanwu, and then used the water elemental power of the seawater itself to turn the water into ice. Bing'er's soul bone was just a catalyst."

"In this state, he can exert strength far beyond his cultivation level; moreover, with the assistance of the Silver Moon Wolf King and Bing'er, it is not surprising that he has achieved this."

A thought flashed through Meng Hongchen's mind, and she made a connection. With a strange expression, she said, "That guy Xiao used this technique to control so many metal cannons to attack. When did Tianxi learn his signature skill?"

Ye Yulin glanced back at Meng Hongchen and said, "What's so strange about that? I think their relationship is much better than yours with him."

Meng Hongchen's face immediately darkened. He gritted his teeth, wanting to say, "You old geezer, if you can't speak properly, you don't have to."

Damn it! So Tianxi and Xiao are so close because Xiao possesses a divine beast martial soul. Can they learn from each other? That's not fair! My Zhu Qing Ice Toad can also learn to control the elements.

She secretly made up her mind: "Damn it, once Tianxi finishes his cultivation, I must start evolving my martial soul. I absolutely cannot fall behind!"

Meng Hongchen asked Zhu Qing about the evolution direction of the Ice Toad King Martial Soul, and Zhu Qing's reply was simple: evolve into an Emperor and it will dominate the world with its poison.

Xu Sanshi, who had the least experience and the lowest cultivation level among them, asked in a low voice, "So now, Third Brother is a genuine Title Douluo at sea?"

Xu Xiaoyun pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Before his spiritual power is exhausted, he is no different from a Title Douluo."

……

As they spoke, the collision between the frost and snow and the giant waves of the orca continued. Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, the evil orca king roared angrily, swept out with its tail, shattered the wind and snow, and roared out.

"Kid, you'll pay the price for coming out to face the enemy alone!"

Xu Tianxi's expression hardened, and he clenched his right hand, drawing the Level Nine Demon God Blade into his grasp. He raised his arm and unleashed a devastating slash that could cleave mountains and seas, severing all vision of heaven and earth, and shouted loudly:

"I'm also very interested in your 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone!"
