Chapter 79: The Fusion of Light and Darkness

Chapter 79: The Fusion of Light and Darkness

Qian Renxue's sword pierced through the Titan Giant Ape's skin, and a surge of soul power instantly flooded into its body, wreaking havoc within.

"Roar—"

In excruciating pain, the Titan Giant Ape let out a thunderous roar, its massive body shaking violently like a dragon turning over the earth.

Caught off guard, Qian Renxue was flung away.

Lacking combat experience, she failed to stabilize herself with the two pairs of wings on her back and plummeted straight toward the ground.

"Watch out!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yu quickly dashed forward and just managed to catch the falling Qian Renxue, preventing her from a direct collision with the ground.

"Let go of me!"

Realizing she was being princess-carried by Xiao Yu, Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed crimson, and she couldn't help but scold him.

"Oh!"

Xiao Yu quickly set Qian Renxue down. Their eyes met briefly, and despite the imminent danger, they quickly regained their composure. They then charged toward the Titan Giant Ape from opposite sides, moving like two streaks of light.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Titan Giant Ape, wounded by Qian Renxue, roared madly, its terrifying soul power fluctuations shaking the entire surrounding area.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Hell's Judgment!"

Facing the soul power pressure from the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Yu unleashed his strongest move. His pitch-black wings spread wide to their fullest extent as soul power gathered above him, eventually forming a bottomless black hole. Countless beams of light, filled with a deadly aura, shot out from the black hole.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Angelic Roar!"

Qian Renxue also activated her sixth soul skill, converting her angelic soul power into a spiritual attack. While Xiao Yu targeted the Titan Giant Ape's physical body, she launched an assault on its mental sea.

Despite being hit by both physical and spiritual attacks, the Titan Giant Ape displayed astonishing resilience. Enduring the excruciating pain in its brain, it swung its massive iron fists, pounding the incoming black light waves like a storm.

Even if some light spheres evaded its fists and struck its dark body, leaving terrifying blood holes and producing deafening booms, they couldn't halt its advance.

In a flash, the Titan Giant Ape's massive figure had already reached Xiao Yu, and with a raised fist, it slammed down.

Xiao Yu hastily channeled his soul power, raising his sword to block in front of him.

Bang!

The terrifying brute force sent Xiao Yu flying.

"Xiao Yu!"

Qian Renxue cried out in alarm and was about to rush to his aid.

But the Titan Giant Ape turned towards her, opening its mouth to unleash a beam of light.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Holy Light Shield!"

A ball of soul power, glowing with a heavy, earth-yellow hue, hurtled toward her. Qian Renxue quickly activated her fourth soul skill, a defensive technique, summoning a shield imbued with divine energy to block in front of her.

A crisp "crack" echoed as the shield shattered, but the light ball still carried considerable residual force and hurtled towards her.

With no time to dodge, Qian Renxue raised her Holy Sword and slashed down at the light ball. In an instant, another fierce clash of soul power erupted, causing the light ball to explode, its brilliance scattering in all directions.

Amid the deafening roar, Qian Renxue was knocked backward, barely stabilizing herself as she landed, only to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Both of them were severely injured. Ye Lingling hurriedly used her healing soul skill, petals of white light descending upon Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue, restoring their injuries and soul power.

Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance and simultaneously retreated, positioning themselves on either side of Ye Lingling.

A ten-thousand-year-level soul beast already possesses intelligence, so it should have noticed Ye Lingling's healing effect. Logically, it would have attacked Ye Lingling first. However, the Titan Giant Ape acted as if it didn't see Ye Lingling at all. It remained stationary, pounding its chest repeatedly with its fists like raindrops, while occasionally letting out roars that made one's eardrums buzz.

"What is it doing?" Qian Renxue asked with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly and voiced his suspicion: "I think it's preparing a big move!"

As soon as he spoke, thousands of soul power orbs, each the size of a stone, appeared in midair, blotting out the sky. Accompanied by the Titan Giant Ape's roars, they rained down upon the three of them.

"You jinx!" Qian Renxue shot Xiao Yu an annoyed glance and prepared to use her fourth soul skill for defense.

Xiao Yu was quicker, however, and activated the Life Bell, a level-seven soul tool. A massive protective shield unfolded, enveloping the three of them.

The Titan Giant Ape's attacks struck the shield, creating earth-shaking booms.

Seeing the shield tremble under the barrage, Xiao Yu turned to Qian Renxue and said, "The power of the Titan Giant Ape's attack might rival that of a Soul Douluo. My level-seven soul tool can only withstand attacks below the Soul Sage level—it won't hold for long!"

Qian Renxue's face showed signs of anxiety. "So what do we do?"

Xiao Yu immediately asked, "Where are the two Titled Douluo guards that usually accompany you?"

The Titan Giant Ape was likely under fifty thousand years old, so if a Titled Douluo were to intervene, the situation would be easily resolved.

"This time, I only brought royal guards to help Xue Ke acquire her second soul ring. I never expected to encounter a situation like this!" Qian Renxue said with some frustration. "I left both of them back in Heaven Dou City!"

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Then there's only one option left!"

Qian Renxue immediately asked, "What option?"

Xiao Yu glanced at Qian Renxue and said, "Do you remember how I discovered your identity?"

Martial Soul Fusion Technique!

Qian Renxue suddenly realized that the two of them had a Martial Soul connection, which meant they could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

The power of a Martial Soul Fusion Technique isn't just the sum of the two soul masters' abilities; it's something that surpasses that. Even the Martial Soul Fusion Technique of two ordinary Soul Emperors could challenge a Soul Douluo, not to mention that both of them possessed god-level Martial Souls. The technique they performed would likely rival a Titled Douluo.

However, Qian Renxue felt reluctant. Martial Soul Fusion Techniques usually occur between blood relatives or spouses, such as the White Tiger and Spirit Cat Martial Souls passed down in the Star Luo Empire.

Qian Renxue hesitated, showing a conflicted expression. "Is this really the only way?"

"It's the only way I have right now!" Xiao Yu looked up at the protective shield, already showing cracks under the Titan Giant Ape's assault. He said, "You decide—is your life more important, or is something else?"

"Then let's do it!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and reached out her hand toward Xiao Yu.

Under Ye Lingling's confused gaze, Xiao Yu grasped Qian Renxue's hand. As they channeled their soul power, the deathly and dark aura of the Netherworld Apostle and the divine and radiant aura of the Six-Winged Angel fused together. A brilliant light erupted from both of them simultaneously.
