The Deity Who Ruled the Sky! Inner Demon!

"Qian Renxue, I've arrived."

Muttering to himself, Zhou Chen, standing atop the clouds, looked down at Spirit City below, a wicked smile playing on his lips, instantly giving him a somewhat crooked-mouthed Dragon King vibe.

This time, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Spirit Hall was tied up at Jialing Pass, he used Feint to the East, Attack in the West to the east and a dash to the west, and drove straight in from Dragon Rise City of the Star Luo Empire to Spirit City!

His purpose in coming to Spirit City was to Qian Renxue!

Ten days ago, Tian Ji Guard indicated that Bi Bi Dong, who had mobilized most of the Spirit Hall's elite forces to reinforce Jialing Pass, had not brought her increasingly powerful daughter Qian Renxue, along, Zhou Chen made a bold guess:

That is, Qian Renxue is likely at a critical juncture in her journey to godhood, which is why she is unable to spare any attention.

Although this conjecture is absurd, after all, in the original story, Qian Renxue took a full seven years to complete the Angel Nine Trials and achieve the position of a god, while she had only been back in Spirit City for a year.

But what if?

What if she really did become a god within a year?

Therefore, the cautious Zhou Chen did not go to Jialing Pass, but instead traveled thousands of miles to Spirit City to prevent Qian Renxue from becoming a god!

Coming to his senses, Zhou Chen, standing on the cloud, narrowed his eyes and transformed into a golden streak of light, shooting towards Holy Sword Mountain in Spirit City!

At the summit of Holy Sword Mountain stand the Pope's Palace, Elder Hall, and Douluo Hall of the Spirit Hall. If Qian Renxue is about to become a god, she will surely be there!

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into Spirit City?"

A sharp shout rang out, and the next second, hundreds of figures suddenly flew up throughout the entire Spirit City. They were all Soul Master with flying-type Martial Soul!

After these hundreds of flying-type Soul Master took to the air, they immediately formed a semi-circular encirclement formation, intercepting the golden streak of light descending from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, gleaming Soul Ring appeared on the bodies of these flying-type Soul Master.

They were all in high spirits. The one with the lowest Soul Power was a three-ring Soul Elder, and the strongest were Soul Douluo of level 80 or above!

The Spirit Hall's power is indeed formidable; even with its elite forces deployed, it was still able to spare so many elite flying-type Soul Master to guard its main camp.

Zhou Chen shook his head and sighed. He was not willing to waste time on these minor characters. With a flash of light, the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his hand!

With a gentle wave, a flash of Sword Light appeared, and nearly a hundred flying-type Soul Master from the Spirit Hall felt their bodies tighten before their heads were separated from their bodies!

With a single sword strike, Zhou Chen killed one-third of the flying-type Soul Master stationed in the Spirit Hall by the Spirit City!

"You dare!!"

Just as Zhou Chen was about to swing his sword again, a long howl came from Holy Sword Mountain, the rolling sound waves soaring into the sky, and a figure shot towards the sky like a shooting star chasing the moon!

This long howl resounded throughout every corner of the entire Spirit City, and the sound showed no signs of waning; on the contrary, it grew louder and louder!

"Whoosh!!"

A whooshing sound rang out, and an old man dressed in a silver-embroidered gold robe appeared in the sky.

The old man had white hair and beard, and nine Soul Rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red pulsating on his body. He was none other than the Second Worship of the Spirit Hall, the Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose strength had reached level 98!

"Golden Crocodile Senior, you didn't go to Jialing Pass?"

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes. There must be something fishy about why a top combatant like Golden Crocodile Douluo of the Spirit Hall would not follow Bi Bi Dong to the Jialing Pass at such a crucial moment, but instead stay in Spirit City!

The most likely explanation is that Golden Crocodile Douluo stayed in Spirit City to protect something!

Who else could be protected by someone as respected as Golden Crocodile Douluo, besides Qian Renxue, who is a descendant of the Angel God?

"Boy, if you retreat now..."

Before Golden Crocodile Douluo could finish speaking, Zhou Chen suddenly said coldly, "Sorry, Golden Crocodile Senior, I'm in a hurry!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Chen's entire body erupted with golden light, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand swelled up in the wind, transforming into a giant sword a thousand meters long, like a mountain range, and unstoppably crushed towards Golden Crocodile Douluo!

"The Xuanyuan Sword emerges... the Sky Shattering!"

At the same time.

At the Holy Sword Mountain, in the Elder Hall.

Qian Renxue stood quietly at the deepest part of the Elder Hall, facing the enormous statue of the Angel God. Her body was shrouded in a golden light.

Now, after passing the first eight trials of the Angel Nine Trials, Qian Renxue has undergone a complete transformation and her strength has reached an almost superhuman level.

She was no longer that minor Soul Saint, no longer someone who could only kneel and worship before the statue of the Angel God, but had become the core of this Elder Hall, just like the Angel Statue.

Once she passes the Ninth Trial of the angels, she will truly become a god who rules the sky!

"My descendants, are you ready?"

A grand and melodious, clear and cold female voice resounded throughout the hall, and the huge statue of the Angel God was now radiating a dazzling divine light.

Clearly, the one who spoke was the Angel God!

Originally, the task of guiding descendants to godhood should have been carried out by the High Priestess of the Angel God Hall.

However, since Qian Daoliu, the High Priest of the Temple, is dead, this task can only be undertaken by His Majesty the Angel God himself.

Qian Renxue slowly raised her head, her golden eyes radiating a holy light. Her expression was indifferent, like that of a cyborg, and she said in a cold tone, "Ancestor, I am ready."

"Then come in!"

The Angel God spoke slowly in his grand and melodious voice.

The next moment, a diamond-shaped golden gem suddenly appeared on Qian Renxue's forehead.

A strange golden light shot out from the golden gem on her forehead, illuminating the center of the Angel God statue's brow.

In an instant, a golden vortex suddenly appeared on the statue of the Angel God, causing the entire hall to tremble.

Faced with such a miracle, Qian Renxue's body slowly floated up and gently crashed into the statue of the Angel God.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded.

When Qian Renxue's body collided with the enormous statue of the Angel God, everything went black before her eyes, and her entire body seemed to sink into water, disappearing instantly.

When she regained her senses, she found herself in a strange golden world.

In this golden world, illusory ripples constantly shimmer, making everything seem so unreal.

Looking up, Qian Renxue was immediately taken aback. Because within this golden world, there was actually a grand hall floating in the air.

The hall looked magnificent and grand, but it had no walls; only nine huge golden stone pillars supported the dome of the hall.

The pillars are engraved with dense and intricate patterns, each pattern based on the shape of angel feathers. These are Divine Realm runes used exclusively by the Angel God.

At the deepest part of the main hall, there is a three-meter-tall statue of Angel God.

This statue is exactly the same as the one in the Elder Hall, only much smaller.

Before the statue, a gray longsword was stuck in the ground. Three pairs of wings were spread behind it, lifelike.

"Is this... the true Angel God Hall?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Qian Renxue's golden eyes, and her voice finally gained some liveliness.

No wonder the Divine Temple of the Angel God could not be found in the entire Spirit City. It turns out that the Divine Temple was actually hidden inside the statue in the Elder Hall, which was a dimensional subspace!

Perhaps only a god could create this golden dimensional space.

Just as Qian Renxue was marveling at the sight, the majestic, melodious, and clear voice of the Angel God resounded once more. "My descendant, you will restore the glory of this place, and bring angels back to the mortal realm. Here, you will complete the final test of the Angel Nine Trials and inherit the Angel Godhood!"

Hearing the words of the Angel God, Qian Renxue's golden eyes shone even brighter, filled with excitement.

She couldn't help but be excited, after all, she was about to become a god, the only person in the Douluo Plane to become a god in ten thousand years!

After becoming a goddess, the entire mortal world will submit to her!

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind—the figure who had repeatedly seen through her schemes, forced her to leave Heaven Dou City, and even killed her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

Qian Renxue will never forget that man, the man who completely overwhelmed her in both intelligence and strength.

That man's name is Zhou Chen.

"I am about to become the Angel God! You killed my grandfather, and I will personally avenge you!"

Qian Renxue murmured, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"My descendants."

Suddenly, the voice of the Angel God startled Qian Renxue awake. She raised her head and respectfully asked, "Ancestor, what should I do?"

"My descendant, with your blood, sacrifice to the holy sword."

The magnificent and melodious voice of the Angel God echoed slowly throughout this golden world.

"The Holy Sword?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's gaze immediately fell upon the dull gray longsword in front of the statue.

Although the sword looks very ordinary, it is the only one in the entire Divine Temple.

The only highlight of this sword is perhaps the round, transparent gem on the hilt.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and lightly scratched her slender finger with her fingernail.

Instantly, a strangely colored stream of blood spurted from the surface of her fingers.

Qian Renxue's blood was a strange color; it wasn't the bright red of a human, but a pale pink mixed with a faint gold. This peculiar blood even carried a faint fragrance.

She took a few steps forward, slowly extended her bleeding finger, and pressed it against the transparent gem on the hilt of the sword.

"It hurts so much!!"

Qian Renxue felt a shiver run through her body. The smooth gemstone was now like a vampire, frantically sucking her blood through her cut finger!

Soon, nearly a third of Qian Renxue's blood was absorbed, and the transparent gem on the hilt of the gray longsword slowly lit up and gradually turned gold!

As the golden light within the gem swirled, it slowly extended downwards along the hilt of the sword, gradually permeating the gray longsword until it completely faded into pure gold!

Suddenly, the longsword, which had turned golden, burst forth with a surge of golden light, which illuminated the entire Divine Temple and brought the angelic feather patterns engraved on the Divine Temple to life, with light constantly flowing around it!

"I am... a descendant of angels, bearing the Angel Glory!!"

Qian Renxue muttered to herself, and suddenly her whole body flashed with light, and she was enveloped in a golden light!

In an instant, nine Soul Rings were neatly arranged on her body, and three pairs of pure white wings fluttered gently. At this moment, her eyes were closed, and she looked sacred and inviolable.

Just then, a phantom figure appeared beside Qian Renxue.

This illusory figure was none other than the remnant soul of Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Empire and one of the three Peerless Douluo of the past.

Qian Daoliu's remnant soul looked at Qian Renxue with burning eyes, which gradually turned into a kind one.

This once Peerless Douluo wanted to say a few words to his granddaughter, but in the end he didn't speak.

Qian Daoliu did not want to disturb his granddaughter's path to godhood.

Shaking his head, Qian Daoliu slowly floated to the longsword that had turned golden, stretched out a hand, and placed it on the sword!

"Boom!!"

With a deafening roar, intense golden flames suddenly erupted from Qian Daoliu's body!

This golden flame is the purest Angel Flame, which Qian Daoliu ignited himself.

The fuel was the remnant soul of this Peerless Douluo.

This is the necessary path for the inheritance of the Angel God, and also the destiny of the High Priest of the Temple!

Every High Priestess of the Angel God awaits this day to offer sacrifices for the continuation of the divine lineage!

A year ago, the Angel God descended upon Heaven Dou City and saved Qian Daoliu's remnant soul, all for this moment!

Just as Qian Daoliu's remnant soul was about to burn out, Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes and saw her grandfather's illusory figure, which had been almost completely swallowed by the golden flames.

"Grandpa? Grandpa!!"

Qian Renxue cried out in pain and tried to step forward, but her hand was stuck to the hilt of the golden longsword, making her unable to move!

"Ah!!!"

After struggling for a long time, Qian Renxue shouted and pulled out the golden sword that was stuck in front of the Angel Statue!

"Boom!!"

A burst of golden light, like a nuclear explosion, erupted instantly, turning the entire Angel God Hall into a dazzling golden sun.

The angel feather patterns engraved inside the Divine Temple also burst into flames at this moment!

The Angel Statue seemed to come alive, opening its arms and tightly embracing Qian Renxue's body.

Then, the Angel Statue, like flowing water, merged into Qian Renxue's body.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was still thinking about her grandfather, Qian Daoliu. However, she didn't know that it was her grandfather's remnant soul, and only thought it was her own illusion.

Just as she was reflecting, the majestic voice of the Angel God slowly and deliberately rang out, word by word:

"An angel has descended!!"

The three pairs of pure white wings on Qian Renxue's back turned completely golden at this moment. She held the golden longsword she had just drawn in both hands, and her entire body was radiating intense golden flames!

This golden longsword is called the Angel Holy Sword!

The Angel Holy Sword is found everywhere in the Spirit Hall, but they are all stone statues or replicas cast by later generations.

The true Angel Holy Sword has always been within this dimensional space, stuck before the Angel Statue!

Only the one who draws the Angel Holy Sword can become the Angel God who rules the sky!
