"Good, leave it to me."

"I'm counting on you, Xiao Hui." As soon as the words left his lips, Davis sat cross-legged on the ground. Beside him, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing followed suit, mirroring his posture.

On the other side, Dong Hui released her martial soul, Supreme Good is Like Water. She turned to the gathered allies and said, "I must trouble the seniors to channel your spirit power into me."

"Understood!"

Dai Pojun took the lead. Alongside his wife, Zhu Yaqin, they pressed their palms against Dong Hui's back, surging their spirit power into her. One by one, the others followed, forming a chain of support.

Feeling a monstrous tidal wave of spirit power—deep and vast as an abyss—pouring into her body, Dong Hui immediately concentrated her focus to activate her spirit bone ability.

"Spirit Bone Skill: Spirit Power Conversion!"

A low hum resonated from her torso spirit bone. It began to process the turbulent, raw spirit power, refining it into a stream of pure, crystalline energy. Through the medium of her Supreme Good is Like Water martial soul, she directed this filtered energy into the bodies of Davis and the two sisters.

The trio immediately began circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, greedily absorbing and refining the influx of energy. Their depleted spirit power began to recover at a visible rate.

Meanwhile, the earth-shattering battle between Anna and Qian Renxue raged on.

"Divine Skill: Vast Sea Raging Waves!"

Anna unleashed one of the four great divine skills of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. This technique allowed her to harness the true power of the ocean to summon a colossal water dragon. Although they were currently on the continent far from any shore, Anna was the Sea God—she was, in essence, a walking ocean.

A minor detail like the absence of a nearby body of water could not hinder her.

She surged her Sea God divine power, manifesting it into a sky-blotting torrent. The divine energy transformed into crashing waves that coalesced into a massive water dragon, spiraling toward Qian Renxue with enough force to level mountains.

Qian Renxue was not to be outdone. Her divine power erupted into a roaring inferno, condensing into a sea of fire that resembled a predatory beast. It lunged forward to meet the water dragon head-on.

"Solar Fire!"

For a moment, divine fire and divine water collided violently in the high heavens. Neither side was willing to yield an inch. When the frigid water met the scorching flames, they instantly vaporized into a thick, white mist that cascaded down toward the earth. Within a hundred-mile radius, the world was plunged into a hazy, impenetrable fog.

This was the true power of gods; with a mere gesture, they could reshape the environment of the world itself.

As the hot, humid mist enveloped them both, Anna and Qian Renxue lost their physical line of sight. However, such a trivial obstacle meant nothing to beings of their caliber.

Anna opened her Sea God's Demon Eyes. In an instant, she locked onto Qian Renxue's exact coordinates. Simultaneously, the Angelic crest on Qian Renxue's forehead emitted a faint, flowing light. Her mental strength swept across the battlefield, pinpointing Anna's location in a heartbeat.

"Divine Skill: Divine Sense Detection!"

"Divine Skill: Demon Eyes — Annihilation Light!"

Having fixed Qian Renxue's position, Anna immediately condensed her divine power into her pupils. A blue-violet light flickered within her eyes before a devastating beam of purple light erupted. It tore through the air with destructive momentum, aimed straight for Qian Renxue.

In the blink of an eye, the beam was mere centimeters from Qian Renxue's chest. However, thanks to her powerful mental detection, Qian Renxue had sensed Anna's intent the moment the divine power began to gather. She hurriedly condensed a protective divine light to shield herself.

"Divine Skill: Angel's Shield!"

BOOM!

As the Annihilation Light slammed into the Angel's Shield, a thunderous explosion rocked the heavens. Even Dai Tianxing and the others far below could hear the deafening roar, a testament to the sheer intensity of the confrontation.

At that moment, the spirit power of Davis and the sisters had already recovered to eighty percent. They only needed another minute or two to return to their peak state.

Nana, wait for us! Davis roared inwardly.

In the sky, Qian Renxue was exerting every ounce of strength to block Anna's Annihilation Light. The Sea God's Demon Eyes originated from a Super Divine Tool, and the power of its inherent divine skill was naturally extraordinary.

Under the continuous impact of the purple beam, the Angel's Shield held for only a few seconds before it became covered in cracks, looking as though it would shatter at any moment.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue poured all her strength into the defense. While the Angel's Shield was technically a protective barrier that usually guarded her from all sides, she now compressed it into a single, concentrated shield in front of her. She sacrificed her omnidirectional defense to focus entirely on stopping the Annihilation Light.

This left Qian Renxue's back completely exposed. If she were to be blindsided now, the damage would be severe. However, she was a god; among everyone present, the only ones capable of wounding her besides Anna were Davis and the sisters in their fused state.

As luck would have it, at that exact moment, the three of them had returned to their peak. They rapidly merged into the Star Luo Holy Tiger and lunged toward Qian Renxue.

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale's Frenzied Thunderous Scourge!"

Arriving behind Qian Renxue, Davis immediately spotted the opening in her defenses. He activated his torso spirit bone skill without hesitation. A thunderous demonic whale, two hundred meters in length, materialized in the air and let out a silent, electric roar as it lunged at Qian Renxue.

"Damn it... I didn't expect them to recover so quickly..."

Qian Renxue was well aware of her vulnerable back. She had been maintaining her mental sense to monitor the surroundings for any fluctuations. Thus, the moment the Star Luo Holy Tiger made its move, she sensed them. Moreover, with the sheer size of that thunderous demonic whale, it was impossible to ignore.

As the Frenzied Thunderous Scourge threatened to swallow her whole, Qian Renxue injected her divine power into her Angel Domain. The domain surged violently as divine power swept out in all directions, manifesting tens of thousands of illusory phantoms of Qian Renxue.

Behind each phantom, a golden disc resembling the sun appeared. The illusions channeled their power into these discs, which then merged into a single, magnificent crimson-gold sun that radiated blinding light.

It was brilliant, scorching, and vivid—possessing every characteristic of the sun itself. It was, for all intents and purposes, a man-made sun. This artificial star reached a diameter of over three hundred meters, dwarfing the thunderous demonic whale.

"Angel Domain Divine Skill: Great Sun Angel — Myriad Suns Ascending the Heavens!"

The massive artificial sun collided violently with the lightning whale, triggering a series of intense shockwaves. Ultimately, the thunderous whale was swallowed by the crimson-gold sun, and even the Star Luo Holy Tiger was forced back several hundred paces by the sheer force of the impact.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Davis sent a secret mental transmission to Anna: "Nana, stall Qian Renxue for me. Give me a little more time."

"Understood," Anna replied with a slight nod. She immediately pivoted, launching a barrage of spirit and divine skills to keep Qian Renxue entangled. Qian Renxue didn't pay much mind to the Star Luo Holy Tiger; in her eyes, Anna was undoubtedly the more dangerous opponent.

VROOOM!

A resonant hum filled the air as twenty-seven spirit rings soared into the sky. Under the precise control of Davis and the sisters, the rings began to compress and merge. They fused into a single, pure golden spirit ring—its cultivation age reaching at least 1.5 million years.

Though it was still a spirit ring and not a divine ring, the sheer power of a 1.5-million-year spirit skill was terrifying to contemplate. In terms of pure destructive potential, it was arguably not inferior to certain powerful divine skills.

On the other side of the battlefield, just as Davis had suspected, Anna's divine power had been heavily taxed by her long-distance travels. Coupled with the prolonged exchange with Qian Renxue, she was beginning to show signs of fatigue.

Qian Renxue sensed this shift and couldn't help but sneer. "The Sea God is just the Sea God. You can only act powerful on the ocean. Here, I am the Angel God—the true overlord of the heavens!"
