Sacred Angel

Ye Guyi secretly spat out the Oak Cake Roll in her mouth, which felt like wood shavings. She hurriedly took a few bites of the bread in her hand and drank some water before finally letting out a breath of relief. She had only taken a small bite of the Oak Cake Roll and had not been as ruthless as Xu Tianzhen, yet it had nearly sent her off all the same.

The two little girls had not suffered much since childhood and had never eaten anything so awful before, so they found it hard to adjust.

The bread was fine; it was not something they could not accept. But the Oak Cake Roll? Please forgive them for refusing.

"This is Oak Cake Roll! It's delicious."

Firefly felt a little wronged. She had only wanted to share her favorite food, but no one seemed to like it.

"Forget it, Firefly. Different people have different tastes. Everyone has food they like and food they dislike, so there's no need to dwell on it."

Liu Xing comforted her.

"Y-Yeah, exactly. I don't like... wood Oak Cake Roll. I'd better eat bread. Bread is pretty good too."

Xu Tianzhen finally recovered. She no longer dared to curiously try unfamiliar foods and silently gnawed on her bread, secretly vowing that she would never touch Oak Cake Roll again for the rest of her life. It was practically dark cuisine.

Luan Yu watched the scene with interest. Being with this group of little ones was rather fun. Why had she never realized before that being around children could be so happy?

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Luan Yu led the four little ones into the Demon Forest. Following the direction she had identified from the air earlier, they headed straight for the center of the outer region.

Although the spirit beasts living in the outer region were mostly ten-year to thousand-year spirit beasts, and ten-thousand-year spirit beasts rarely appeared there, spirit beasts of the same age still varied greatly in strength. The more powerful a spirit beast's bloodline was, the closer it lived to the interior of the Demon Forest, where the Heaven and Earth Essence was more abundant.

Luan Yu dared to lead four burdens straight toward the inner region. That was confidence—absolute confidence. What a joke. A Rank 9 Spirit Tool Master was invincible in the outer region even with four burdens in tow. Unless they were unlucky enough to run into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the core region wandering around, there was no way things could go wrong.

Luan Yu did not think she was some unlucky E-rank lancer. She was Saber, alright?

Luan Yu tossed out several small black Detection Spirit Tools. Though she was not a spiritual-type spirit master who could search for spirit beasts using her own spiritual power, she had her own methods. How could a spirit tool master be such an inconvenient profession?

Luan Yu looked at Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi. "Little Guyi, little Tianzhen, what kind of spirit beasts do you two want?"

"I want a light-attribute spirit beast, preferably one with a sacred attribute. Around four hundred years will do."

"Big Brother said I need a spirit beast with light and fire attributes, preferably a flying spirit beast with Golden Crow bloodline."

Ye Guyi and Xu Tianzhen had long since decided on their targets. In fact, given Xu Tianzhen's status and her martial soul, the Sun Moon Imperial Family had suitable spirit beasts prepared for her. But in order to let Xu Tianzhen befriend Liu Xing and the others, Xu Tianran had refused the spirit beasts offered by the Sun Moon Imperial Family's royal clan.

Although absorbing a spirit ring from a spirit beast prepared by the Sun Moon Imperial Family's royal clan would have been more beneficial to her Sun Spirit Soul, the Sun Spirit Soul possessed both light and fire attributes and was highly adaptable. As long as the spirit beast had light and fire attributes, the spirit ring gained would not be poor. A spirit beast with Golden Crow bloodline would be even better, no worse than those provided by the royal clan.

"Sacred and light?"

Luan Yu gave Ye Guyi a surprised glance. She knew Xu Tianzhen's martial soul, but she truly did not know Ye Guyi's. It was not as though she had deliberately gathered intelligence on her.

"Aunt Luan Yu, my martial soul is the Sacred Angel."

"Sacred Angel?"

This time, not only Luan Yu, but even Liu Xing and Xu Tianzhen looked at Ye Guyi in astonishment. Over the past two years, Liu Xing's favorite pastime had been reading books and learning about the entire Douluo Continent, while Xu Tianzhen had received an elite royal education. Before her Martial Soul Awakening, she had studied all kinds of foundational knowledge.

They might not have been familiar with the Sacred Angel, but if it were called the Six-Winged Angel, it would be instantly recognizable. Ever since the Sun Moon Empire had humiliatingly changed the name of its own Sun Moon Continent to Douluo Continent, it had conducted a thorough study of Douluo Continent's history.

It was said that ten thousand years ago, Douluo Continent had been ruled by two great empires and Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall had even once shown signs of unifying the entire Douluo Continent, but it was unfortunately defeated by Sea God Tang San, one of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils from Shrek Academy.

The Angel Clan ruled Spirit Hall at the time, and the Angel Clan's inherited martial soul was the Six-Winged Angel. It was said to possess the three attributes of sacredness, light, and flame. If a member inherited the Angel Godhood, they could even awaken a god-bestowed martial soul and possess the astonishing cultivation talent of Innate Level 20 Soul Power.

The Three God War from ten thousand years ago was still widely told even today. Even the Sun Moon Empire, an outsider, knew it well.

Although ten thousand years had passed and much of it had become legend, Liu Xing knew that it was all true. The monstrous genius with Innate Level 20 Soul Power and the Three God War had both truly happened.

Could Guyi be a descendant of Qian Renxue?

Liu Xing looked at the little girl with golden hair and golden eyes, secretly making his guess. The Sacred Angel martial soul was second only to the god-bestowed Six-Winged Angel martial soul. In a sense, it was also an Ultimate Spirit Soul. To awaken such a martial soul, her angel bloodline had to be extremely pure.

Moreover, Liu Xing knew that during the Three God War ten thousand years ago, the Rakshasa God had fallen, while Angel God Qian Renxue's godhood had shattered. Her cultivation had fallen to Rank 89, and she could never break through again. Since she had remained on Douluo Continent, it was very likely that she had left behind descendants.

And Ye Guyi was highly likely to be one of Qian Renxue's bloodline descendants.

If the Angel Godhood had not shattered, then Ye Guyi's martial soul would not have been the Sacred Angel, but the Six-Winged Angel.

The Six-Winged Angel was the highest-ranking Angel Spirit Soul. Compared with the Sacred Angel, it possessed an additional fire attribute. Together with sacredness and light, it was a threefold Ultimate Spirit Soul.

Considering how even single-attribute Ultimate Spirit Souls could now look down upon the world on Douluo Continent, the Six-Winged Angel's power needed no further explanation.

Furthermore, Angel Spirit Souls were the nemesis of evil, capable of suppressing all things evil. They could even raise their own cultivation by purifying evil and Grievance Souls.

Though the Sacred Angel martial soul had supposedly degenerated from the legendary Six-Winged Angel martial soul, it was still no weaker than Xu Tianzhen's Sun Spirit Soul. In some respects, it was even stronger.

"I heard that possessors of the Sacred Angel martial soul can raise their soul power by killing Evil Spirit Masters. Is that true?"

Liu Xing looked at Ye Guyi curiously. If that were true, then even if the Sacred Angel's powerful and pure sacred attribute caused its early cultivation to progress slowly like an Ultimate Spirit Soul, her cultivation speed should not be too slow if she killed large numbers of Evil Spirit Masters.
