"A tenth spirit ring?" Davis muttered, looking down at his feet. Sure enough, a resplendent Divine Ring pulsed there, and a look of deep contemplation crossed his face.
"I see... after those two dragon souls were slain, they transformed into a Divine Ring and were absorbed by me." As he spoke, he began to circulate his Mysterious Heavenly Method. He immediately discovered that his soul power had completely transitioned into divine power—neutral, balanced, vast, and deep. It felt sharp at times and remarkably resilient at others.
"My soul power has fully converted to divine energy. Moreover, because the essence of those Ice and Fire Dragon Souls was so potent, it didn't just push me to Rank 100."
Davis sat cross-legged, silently sensing the depths of his new power. A surge of joy hit him as he realized his cultivation wasn't merely at Rank 100, but had reached Rank 102.
As the saying goes, 'a hundred-legged insect dies but never falls'; though the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were long dead, they were once God Kings. Even though their souls had weakened significantly over the millennia, they still contained a staggering amount of energy.
After absorbing such a concentrated force, it was only natural for Davis's cultivation to leap forward so dramatically.
"Husband! Tell us quickly, have you really broken through Rank 100? I feel like your aura is even more powerful than Anna's now."
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't contain her curiosity and blurted out the question. Davis smiled and nodded in confirmation. "That's right. I didn't expect two ancient dragon souls to be hidden within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. they tried to possess me, but they didn't realize that by slaying them in retaliation, they would end up completing my ascension instead!"
Davis recounted the experience to the two women. They listened with hearts pounding in their chests, feeling a wave of lingering fear when they heard how close he had come to being possessed.
However, when they heard that Davis had slain both dragon souls, condensed a Divine Ring, and pushed his divine power to Rank 102, their fear was replaced by pure jubilation!
The current Davis was undoubtedly much stronger than Anna. Based on his estimates, Anna was likely at Rank 100, while Qian Renxue was perhaps at the peak of Rank 100, possibly approaching Rank 101.
But his own cultivation was now Rank 102. In other words, even without the Martial Soul Fusion with Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, his individual strength was no longer inferior to Qian Renxue's.
"By the way, I still have my External Dragon Wings: the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings!" A confident curve tugged at the corner of Davis's mouth. He reached back and touched the wings on his back. Since they were formed from dragon bones, he named them "External Dragon Bones" to distinguish them from standard external soul bones.
After testing them briefly, Davis was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of these Ice and Fire Dragon Wings had reached the level of a Super Divine Tool. They were not at all inferior to the Sea God Trident or the Angelic Sacred Sword.
This wasn't entirely unexpected. The Water and Fire Dragon Kings were God King-level entities; it would have been stranger if the wings born from their bones didn't reach the level of a Super Divine Tool.
Even more exhilarating was the fact that, much like the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings contained four powerful divine skills:
Absolute Zero: A divine skill derived from the Frost Dragon Soul. It releases an extreme polar blizzard that can freeze enemies solid. It is a powerful control-type divine skill, easily rivaling the first move of the Golden Thirteen Halberds: Unfixed Storm.
Blazing Dragon Breath: A single-target offensive divine skill from the Blazing Dragon Soul. It fires a beam of concentrated thermal energy to heavily wound enemies, with a destructive power far exceeding the Deep Sea Demon Whale's Mad Thunder Strike.
Wings of the Dragon God: This skill significantly boosts flight speed. The wings can also be folded inward to provide an absolute defense. Simultaneously, they can condense the spiritual energy of the world to accelerate cultivation speed.
Ice and Fire Divine Armor: Using the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings as a core, this skill links with his other soul bones to perform a Soul Bone Fusion, condensing the dragon bones and soul bones into a complete set of Divine Armor.
With these four skills, Davis no longer feared any deity. At the very least, even if Bibi Dong completed her trials and became the Rakshasa God, he would have nothing to fear.
Aside from the four skills granted by the dragon bones, the Divine Ring condensed from the dragon souls also bestowed a terrifyingly powerful divine skill upon Davis: Tiger Roar Divine Might!
This was a formidable buff-type divine skill. Once activated, all of his soul ring skills and soul bone skills would evolve into divine skills. His domain skills would likewise evolve into Divine Domains.
Compared to those like Anna and Qian Renxue, who inherited established godhoods, Davis's independent ascension had one major drawback: a lack of specialized divine skills.
Look at Anna; after inheriting her godhood, she received a Divine Domain (the Sea God Domain) and a plethora of divine skills, including the Golden Thirteen Halberds—which alone provided thirteen divine skills.
Qian Renxue was the same. Even the stingy Rakshasa God provided Bibi Dong with the Super Divine Tool, the Rakshasa Scythe, and the Rakshasa Domain upon her ascension. Compared to them, Davis had been relatively "poor," possessing almost nothing.
But now, with the Tiger Roar Divine Might skill from his Divine Ring, he no longer had to worry about having insufficient tools to deal with his enemies.
The next time he encountered Qian Renxue, Davis wouldn't have to worry about his fused domain being dispersed by her divine power.
"Zhuyun, Zhuqing, let's try out our Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Davis suggested enthusiastically. He wanted to see just how high their strength would soar when the three of them summoned the Star Luo Saint Tiger together now.
"Alright!" The two sisters were equally excited. They immediately activated their Martial Soul Avatars. Davis did the same, and amidst a flash of multi-colored light, the Star Luo Saint Tiger made its grand appearance!
Thanks to the influence of the Ice and Fire Divine Ring, once the three of them fused, the Divine Ring automatically converted the two sisters' soul power into divine energy. The Star Luo Saint Tiger now possessed the divine power of a Rank 103 deity; its combat effectiveness had increased by a massive margin.
"Heh, with this level of power, I won't even need Anna's help. I can defeat Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue on my own."
Sensing the surging, mountainous power within his body, Davis couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He no longer had to worry about the invasion of the Spirit Empire.
"Alright, let's head home!" As he spoke, the Star Luo Saint Tiger took to the air, galloping through the sky toward the Star Luo Empire.
Before leaving, Davis glanced down at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Since he had absorbed the vast majority of the ice and fire energy from the spring and taken the dragon souls, the effectiveness of this sacred land would likely be greatly diminished.
However, it didn't matter. Once he grew even stronger in the future, he could use his own divine power to maintain the effects of the well, ensuring that the plants there would continue to grow at a thousand times the normal rate.
Whoosh—!
A streak of light cut through the sky. At their current speed, it took less than half a day to travel from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well back to Star Luo City and reach the Imperial Palace.
When they saw the changes in Davis, everyone was struck with amazement. Upon hearing that Davis had devoured the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls, surpassed Rank 100, and achieved Godhood, the couples of Dai Tianxing and Dai Pojun all broke into gratified smiles!
Dai Pojun and Zhu Yaqin, in particular, were beyond themselves with excitement. Their son had become a god! Moreover, he hadn't just inherited a seat; he had become a god through his own strength!
As for his divine title, he had already decided on it during the journey back.
His Godhood: Tiger Roar.
The Tiger Roar God: Davis!
