Star Crown, Society Lesson Three, Heaven-Fighting Earth-Battling and a Fierce Beast Sixth Ring!

After entering the Evil Spirit Orca pod's territory, the surrounding sea was eerily calm. Not even in the waters thousands of meters beneath the surface was there any sign of living creatures.

The Evil Spirit Orcas' bloodthirsty nature meant they could not tolerate any living thing other than their own kind within their territory. Their enormous food requirements and murderous instincts had brought disaster upon the Sea Soul Beast populations around their domain.

Thus, every time the Evil Spirit Orca pod hunted, they had to travel in groups to distant waters.

The six of them had made no attempt to conceal their auras. At the same time they discovered the Evil Spirit Orca pod, hundreds of Evil Spirit Orcas had already noticed them.

The next instant, a blinding red beam tore through the seawater and arrived before the six of them, who were a thousand meters above the ocean.

Qiangu Chengjun snorted coldly. A dragon's roar rang out as the Coiling Dragon Staff flew from his hand, instantly transforming into a towering pillar dozens of meters long. It easily shattered the red light, then smashed down onto the sea below, vaporizing all seawater within several thousand meters in an instant.

"Humans—!"

A dull roar exploded like furious thunder. The formerly clear sky abruptly became oppressive and dark beneath that howl.

In the distance, a red light lit up once more.

Only when the red light drew near did they see clearly that it was a colossal whale over fifty meters long, with an abnormally huge head, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and dark blue and deep red patterns covering its entire body.

Dense waves of bloodlust radiated from the giant whale. Its overwhelming aura gave off the feeling of an overlord of the sea.

The moment the Evil Orca King appeared, several enormous dark blue whirlpools suddenly formed around it. Distant seawater was dragged toward them, even carrying the corpses of the Evil Spirit Orcas that had just been killed by the Coiling Dragon Staff.

"You two, fly higher and farther away."

Qiangu Chengjun glanced at Nebula Douluo and Xu Jiujiu, not expecting either of them to help. Nine Soul Rings emerged beneath him as he activated his Martial Soul Avatar alongside Qiangu Liting.

The golden light unleashed by the two Super Douluo activating their Martial Soul Avatars at the same time nearly dyed the entire sky gold.

The two exchanged a look. Without hesitation, they dove down and collided with the enraged Evil Orca King.

The battlefield of three Super Douluo-level powerhouses was not somewhere ordinary Soul Masters or Evil Spirit Orcas could approach. Amid towering waves, dragon roars and furious bellows deafened the ears. Seawater was constantly vaporized, and some mindless Evil Spirit Orcas that tried to aid their leader were blasted into pieces by sharp red beams or golden staff shadows before they could even get close.

Qiangu Yunche and Yang Shu were not idle either. The two dealt with the other Evil Spirit Orcas near the outskirts.

Just as Qiangu Yunche was surrounded by several Evil Spirit Orcas, a golden starlight suddenly descended from above and enveloped him.

Enhanced by that starlight, Qiangu Yunche could clearly sense that all his attributes had increased by at least thirty percent. Moreover, as the starlight around him grew denser, the enhancement continued to rise.

After killing a ten-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca, Qiangu Yunche turned around and happened to see Xu Jiujiu floating in midair above him.

Xu Jiujiu had already summoned her Martial Soul. Five Soul Rings revolved beneath her, while a gorgeous crown had appeared above her head.

The crown seemed to be formed from countless stars. All the stars were pale gold, gathering rapidly backward from the diamond-shaped gemstone at its center. Eighteen larger stars rose upward from the crown, forming a beautiful circle of points.

The Star Crown, a top-tier tool Martial Soul combining support, powerful offense, and control.

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu was using her third Soul Skill, Star Shine Technique.

"Yunche, I'll enhance and guide you."

Xu Jiujiu nodded lightly at Qiangu Yunche, and her first Soul Skill, Star Guidance Technique, activated.

Countless golden rays of starlight surged from the Star Crown above her head, transforming into innumerable beams in midair before shooting directly into the chaotic sea, where gigantic waves and bloody currents churned. Every beam accurately locked onto an Evil Spirit Orca with cultivation exceeding ten thousand years.

With the guidance of Xu Jiujiu's first Soul Skill, the enhancement of her third Soul Skill, and the dizzying control of her second Soul Skill, Star Fall Technique, which she unleashed from time to time, Qiangu Yunche went all out. Even the golden Evil-Breaking Dragon Emperor Spear had taken on a blood-red tinge from being stained with too much Evil Spirit Orca blood.

Farther away, Nebula Douluo was not idle either.

The Nebula Fan was a tool Martial Soul suited for large-scale group attacks. Boosted by Nebula Douluo's ninety-first-rank Soul Power and eighth Soul Skill, it transformed an entire stretch of sky into a sea of stars. Enormous stars streaked through heaven and earth like a meteor shower, crashing into the ocean one after another. Evil Spirit Orcas below ten thousand years of cultivation died instantly upon being hit, while those above ten thousand years were not killed in a single strike but were still injured.

More and more blood flowed into the seawater, thoroughly stirring up the Evil Spirit Orcas' bloodthirsty nature.

Some Evil Spirit Orcas no longer focused solely on attacking Qiangu Yunche and the others. Instead, they turned and began tearing into heavily injured companions or the corpses of their own kind.

The three ninety-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orcas entangled with Yang Shu saw the situation growing worse and worse. They actually turned and fled without hesitation, leaving Yang Shu staring blankly for a moment.

The cultivation of those three Evil Spirit Orcas had nearly reached the peak of ninety thousand years, but they had never dared step into the hundred-thousand-year threshold because of the Evil Orca King's suppression and restraint.

Now that the Evil Orca King was being beaten back step by step and was clearly on the verge of death, they immediately chose to abandon their leader and flee for their own lives and interests. At the same time, they released special Soul Power fluctuations to call the other Evil Spirit Orcas.

After all, for the three of them, surviving the first Heavenly Tribulation would not be difficult. Even on their own, a few thousand years would be more than enough to build an entirely new Evil Spirit Orca pod from scratch. Then, they would be the sole leaders of that new pod.

Since that was the case, why continue living under someone else's thumb and suffering oppression?

The first lesson of society: loyalty!

The second lesson of society: forgetting your roots!

The third lesson of society: taking care of your sister-in-law!

These three Evil Spirit Orcas had undoubtedly grasped and put these three great principles into practice.

After the three leaders fled and released those special Soul Power fluctuations to summon the other Evil Spirit Orcas, more than a hundred Evil Spirit Orcas followed them in three different directions within moments.

As for the remaining Evil Spirit Orcas, some had already lost their minds, while others were so badly injured that they could not flee even if they wanted to. In the blink of an eye, they had lost over seventy percent of their combat strength and were no longer worth fearing.

With the battle here over, Yang Shu and Nebula Douluo could finally free their hands to assist Qiangu Liting and Qiangu Chengjun.

The Evil Orca King, which had yet to survive its second Heavenly Tribulation, was already struggling against two Super Douluo. Now, with two Title Douluo attacking from both sides, its premonition that its life was over reached its peak.

"Fight!"

Sure enough, in the next instant, Qiangu Liting and Qiangu Chengjun shouted at the same time.

The two gripped their Coiling Dragon Staffs with both hands, then shot into the air like lightning. Blinding white light surged explosively from their bodies, and the Coiling Dragon Staffs in their hands rapidly expanded until they were a full hundred meters long, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

The two shouted again. Their enlarged, ethereal forms gathered all their strength before swinging their staffs down at the Evil Orca King together!

The enormous hundred-meter Coiling Dragon Staffs seemed to split heaven and earth apart in that instant, as though they were about to shatter the entire world.

Heaven-Fighting Earth-Battling!

Although this move was the first form of the Unyielding Staff Technique, it was also the technique's most essential form.

It broke the laws of destruction, forcibly borrowed the power of heaven and earth, and unleashed the strongest staff strike!

The Heaven-Fighting Earth-Battling unleashed at full force by Super Douluo Qiangu Liting and Qiangu Chengjun would force even a Limit Douluo to pay a price to withstand it. Under these two strikes, the Evil Orca King had absolutely no chance of turning defeat into victory!

As the two staffs fell, everything within sight turned into nothingness.

The seawater evaporated into nothingness. Space cracked apart like a spiderweb. A world-shaking boom erupted, followed by a violent earthquake beneath the sea!

For a time, the seawater within dozens of kilometers seemed to boil. A massive tsunami shot into the sky and surged into the distance.

Qiangu Yunche immediately teleported forward and finished off the Evil Orca King, which had only a thread of life remaining.

Once everything was over, seawater rushed back in. Qiangu Yunche sat cross-legged atop the Evil Orca King's enormous corpse. After calming his mind, he guided the blood-red Soul Ring containing violent energy down toward his body.

The instant the Soul Ring entered his body, Qiangu Yunche's entire body shook violently, as though countless blades were wildly churning through his meridians.

The blood-red energy was incomparably violent, as if it wanted to tear his body apart. Every inch of muscle trembled, and his bones creaked under unbearable strain.

The Soul Power in his body churned like boiling water. His meridians swelled to the verge of rupture, while dark red blood vessels surfaced beneath his skin. He clenched his teeth and forced himself to circulate his Soul Power, absorbing that savage energy into his body bit by bit.

A hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring was effortless for him, but this Evil Orca King was a one-hundred-ninety-nine-thousand-nine-hundred-ninety-nine-year Soul Beast, just one step away from becoming a Fierce Beast!

The intensity and density of its energy were at least three times greater than those of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Evil Orca King. Once it survived the Heavenly Tribulation and broke through to two hundred thousand years, that gap would double again.

This pain lasted nearly five hours before gradually fading. At that moment, a dark blue light suddenly burst from his left arm.

That was the final source power deliberately left behind by the Cangming Thunder Dragon Emperor.

The lightning and water attributes of this source power had long since been stripped away, leaving only the purest energy. As that energy surged in, a second golden pattern slowly appeared on Qiangu Yunche's sixth Soul Ring, which was crimson like blood!

A breakthrough—the sixth ring of a two-hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast!

Qiangu Liting and the others, who had been standing guard nearby, all revealed astonished expressions.

Nebula Douluo and Xu Jiujiu in particular felt their worldview completely collapse.

A twelve-year-old Soul Emperor with a two-hundred-thousand-year sixth Soul Ring—they were incomparably glad that they had established good relations with the Qiangu Clan ahead of time.

For such a peerless genius, even a Limit Douluo might not be his endpoint. Perhaps the scene from ten thousand years ago would truly reappear in this twelve-year-old boy...
