Fallen Angel Descends

Qian Daoliu's expression turned grave. He gathered Soul Power in his palm, attempting to draw in some of that strange black Soul Power.

However, the instant his Soul Power touched the black Soul Power, it was swallowed completely as though sinking into the sea!

"How is that possible?!" Qian Daoliu's pupils abruptly contracted.

He could clearly feel his Soul Power being converted in reverse!

Not only was that black Soul Power not suppressed, it instead devoured all of his Soul Power like a greedy Taotie, growing even stronger afterward!

"What?!" Qian Xunjie could not believe it either.

As the two stood in shock, the black Soul Power behind Qian Renxue began gathering at an accelerated pace!

It finally took shape!

"This is..." Both Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunjie could not help widening their eyes!

This was another angel!

However, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Qian Renxue had awakened took the form of a woman, with golden hair and a pair of golden wings.

This angel, on the other hand, took the form of a man, with black hair and three pairs of black wings!

His left eye was Ice Blue, while his right eye was Dark Red. Dark Gold lines extended from the corners of his eyes.

His facial features were sharply defined, and his skin was pale as moonlight, carrying an unhealthy gleam.

He wore a suit of Black Gold armor, with seven diamond-shaped purple crystals embedded in the belt around his waist.

"What exactly is this?" Qian Xunjie murmured. "Why did it emerge from Xue'er's body?"

Qian Daoliu held the grief-stricken Qian Renxue in his arms and stared blankly at the angel above. "Could it be... How could this be..."

Hearing that, Qian Xunjie anxiously asked, "Father, do you know what this is?"

Before Qian Daoliu could answer, inspiration struck Qian Xunjie. "Could this be Xue'er's second Spirit?"

"Xue'er has Twin Martial Souls too!"

Qian Daoliu remained silent.

Having confirmed his guess, Qian Xunjie was instantly overjoyed!

There was no need to mention how precious Twin Martial Souls were.

What was more, these were Twin Angel Spirits, and the Second Spirit had been born with six wings!

It seemed the genes of that rebellious disciple of his were quite good after all.

He naturally linked this to Bibi Dong, believing it was some mutation caused by her genes.

However...

As Qian Xunjie looked at that angel, he was astonished amid his delight.

This Dark Style angel seemed somewhat incompatible with the bright and holy style of the Six-winged Angel!

Could this Dark Style also have been influenced by Bibi Dong?

Thinking of this, he grew somewhat dissatisfied with Bibi Dong again.

He did not associate this angel with the Black Streamer from earlier.

He was more inclined toward the Parental Influence Theory.

Unlike him, Qian Daoliu did not show the slightest joy. His eyes were filled only with worry.

"Is this a blessing or a curse?" he murmured.

Noticing his unusual reaction, Qian Xunjie asked, "Father, Xue'er has awakened Twin Martial Souls. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Doesn't this mean Xue'er's aptitude is even greater than we imagined?"

Qian Daoliu let out a deep sigh. "Normally, awakening Twin Martial Souls is naturally a good thing! But..."

"Xue'er's Second Spirit is a Fallen Angel!"

Qian Daoliu's tone was full of unease.

"Fallen Angel?" Qian Xunjie had never heard that name before.

Qian Daoliu explained, "It is an angel that wields Dark Power, the other side of the Six-winged Angel that wields Light Power!"

"Is that so?" After understanding, Qian Xunjie was somewhat dissatisfied. "Father, why have you never taught me any of this?"

"This is knowledge that only appears from the seventh trial onward, after an Angel Heir has at least obtained a Red-level Assessment." As he spoke, Qian Daoliu snorted heavily and gave Qian Xunjie an indifferent glance.

"You only received the Black-level Sixth Trial..."

Qian Xunjie's facial muscles twitched at those words, and he was embarrassed beyond measure.

Qian Daoliu's gaze was practically saying, You were the one who failed to live up to expectations, and you still had the nerve to complain!

But by then, Qian Xunjie also understood why Qian Daoliu was worried.

Cultivating Twin Martial Souls was already exceptionally dangerous!

History's first Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls had exploded to death because her body could not endure the energy clash between the two Spirits!

And Bibi Dong had yet to begin cultivating her Second Spirit.

It could be said that no Soul Master in history had successfully cultivated Twin Martial Souls yet!

If the two Spirits' attributes opposed each other, the conflict would further increase the risks of cultivation!

"Light and darkness... If Xue'er wants to cultivate Twin Martial Souls, it truly will be extremely dangerous!"

Qian Xunjie would not reject power simply because it was dark, just as he would not refrain from using dirty methods merely because they were disgraceful!

As long as he did not let the world know and only showed everyone the bright side, that would be enough.

He had always pursued justice in the outcome, not justice in the process!

As for what he considered a just outcome, that went without saying.

Qian Xunjie sneered. "Spirit Hall does not have only one Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls!"

"We can simply let that person scout the path first. That way, the risks of Xue'er's cultivation will be greatly reduced, leaving only the issue of conflicting attributes!"

Qian Daoliu gave Qian Xunjie a deep look, but he did not rebuke him, just as before.

"If the danger lay only in cultivating Twin Martial Souls, I would not be so worried!" The sorrow on Qian Daoliu's face did not lessen in the slightest.

"Hm?" Qian Xunjie was somewhat puzzled.

"If that were all, we could simply forbid Xue'er from cultivating her Second Spirit!"

Qian Daoliu stared at the black figure, his voice low as muffled thunder. "The very existence of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul is the greatest hidden danger!"

"Why? It is only a Martial Soul!" Qian Xunjie asked.

"The Fallen Angel's power will continuously erode the Angel Heir's will, attempting to turn her into a puppet of darkness!"

Qian Daoliu recalled the experience of facing his own dark side when he had undergone the Angel God Exam years ago.

"More importantly... Our Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has been passed down through our bloodline for a long time, and is different from the Sea God Martial Soul of Bo Saixi, the Great Enshrined of Sea God Island..."

"But both possess god-given attributes. If our Martial Soul has mutated, it is highly likely connected to the god we worship!"

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu looked toward the Angel God Statue within the hall.

After that Black Streamer appeared, Qian Renxue awakened her Second Spirit.

Even he had been unable to detect or stop that Black Streamer.

Other than a god, he could not think of any other explanation.

By now, Qian Xunjie understood as well—Qian Renxue's Second Spirit most likely had nothing to do with Bibi Dong, but was related to the Angel God!

"Then according to Father's meaning..."

Qian Xunjie guessed, "Could the Angel God have fallen into..."

Qian Daoliu remained silent. Though Qian Xunjie did not say the rest aloud, he understood.

Although his faith in the Angel God, who represented light, was unwavering, even he was no longer certain at this moment!

"But... the Angel God we worship is female!" Qian Xunjie abruptly changed his point. "Yet this angel is clearly male!"

"That is also something I cannot understand!" Qian Daoliu frowned in thought.

Suddenly, inspiration struck Qian Xunjie. "Is there a possibility that while that being changed its power, even its gender..."

"There is no such possibility!"

An extremely cold voice suddenly came from above, interrupting Qian Xunjie's speculation!
