Ninth Soul Skill: Angel Sanction

-Crack—crack—crack—

The ear-piercing sound of space shattering exploded one after another, forcibly tearing apart the crystal-clear sky over Heaven Dou City.

Dark, jagged spatial rifts spread and widened frantically at a visible speed, like scars from purgatory.

"The... the sky actually cracked open..."

"This... how is this possible..."

"Bad news! Those are spatial turbulences... Everyone, run!"

Frenzied spatial turbulence surged out through the rifts, violently warping the surrounding air. Even the sturdy buildings of the city trembled slightly.

The greedy ones who had tried to seize the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones amid the chaos were torn to pieces by the powerful spatial turbulence.

Those lucky enough to escape fled in every direction, terrified. Screams and cries swept through all of Heaven Dou City in an instant.

"Hmph! A bunch of clowns!"

"With a showing like that, you still thought you could seize the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones amid the chaos?"

Seated upon his throne, Qian Wuyou cast an indifferent glance over the crowd below with his golden eyes, utterly ignoring the killing intent and greedy gazes all around him.

Leaving those clowns to their own devices, he led all his clanspeople straight into the depths of the spatial rift.

This spatial fissure, which had alarmed the entire city, was an expanded spatial passageway, created by Qian Wuyou using his authority as Lord of the Douluo Planet Plane.

Its destination was none other than their long-prepared new home—the Ice God Secret Realm!

It looked dangerous and terrifying, but in truth, it was not safe at all.

Without the protection of his authority as Plane Master, even a Level 99 Peerless Douluo would be torn apart by the powerful spatial turbulence.

"Not good!"

"Are Qian Wuyou and the others trying to leave Heaven Dou City?"

At the sight, Ning Fengzhi's expression immediately changed.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone, His Excellency Haotian, hurry and stop them! We absolutely can't let Qian Wuyou and the others leave Heaven Dou City."

The resources stolen from the World Treasury absolutely could not be lost.

Otherwise—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have to tighten its belt and make do!

However, before Tang Hao, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo could act,

Qian Wuyou, seated on his throne, spoke first.

"Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the two relics of a bygone age, Sword and Bone, and everyone from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family..."

He tapped a finger against the armrest of his throne. His white-and-gold clothes fluttered in the spatial turbulence.

Three black and six red—nine astonishing Soul Rings slowly revolved around Qian Wuyou. A sacred, scorching, radiant, and domineering aura enveloped the surroundings.

"Since you insist on choosing to oppose Spirit Hall, then I, Qian Wuyou, will represent the Angel Family and Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, and formally declare—total war on all of you!"

The instant Qian Wuyou finished speaking, Qian Wulu, Tianzhen, Wuxie, and the other ten members of the Angel Family all wore strange expressions.

What the hell did he mean, representing Spirit Hall?!

What the hell did he mean, representing Pope Bibi Dong?!

What the hell did he mean, declaring total war?!

He made it sound as though they hadn't defected and split off from Spirit Hall themselves.

Damn, did he really seize every opportunity to drag that madwoman Bibi Dong into trouble?

It had to be said—

This was... beautifully done!

No, really, it was beautifully done!

The other members of the Angel Family had made a scene at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and ransacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's World Treasury.

Yet Qian Wuyou, that troublemaker, had simply dumped the whole mess on Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall.

With just a few simple words, Qian Wuyou had redirected all the fury of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect straight at Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall, cleanly distancing himself and the Radical Faction from the whole affair.

If Bibi Dong found out what they'd done, she'd probably be so furious she'd spit blood on the spot...

Even Qian Daoliu, the Conservative Faction's clan leader, probably never imagined that the Grand Pontiff he had painstakingly nurtured would stab him in the back so thoroughly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Big brother's really a master at shifting the blame!"

Qian Wulu complained furiously from the side.

Wasn't this framing them way too brazenly?

Wasn't he afraid that madwoman Bibi Dong would team up with Qian Daoliu and give the Radical Faction a righteous beating?

"Heh!"

"Young Master, there's no need to worry about that!"

"That madwoman Bibi Dong will have her hands full from here on out!"

Tianzhen, Wuxie, and the other clanspeople exchanged glances, their lips curling into amused smiles.

They had caused such a commotion in Heaven Dou City today that everyone would pin the blame squarely on Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall.

After all, nobody else knew that the Angel Family members of the Radical Faction had left Spirit Hall and gone independent.

While Qian Wulu and the other members of the Angel Family chatted,

Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ge Long, who had just arrived from Shrek Academy, all darkened their expressions.

"Declaring war on the entire continent?!"

"Hmph!"

"What a boast!"

"Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion, obey my command! Form ranks!"

With a loud shout, Ge Long summoned his Yazi Martial Soul.

Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings unfolded beneath his feet.

The Soul Power of an 86th-level Soul Douluo erupted without restraint.

However, before Tang Hao, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the others could act, Qian Wuyou struck first.

"Six-hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Skill—Angel Sanction!"

The Soul Ring on Qian Wuyou's body, marked with six red lines and aged at six hundred thousand years, erupted in a brilliant red light.

His Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul Avatar slowly unfurled, its twelve golden wings blotting out the sky.

The pure, violent Soul Power of a six-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast transformed into a heaven-swamping pressure, crushing down over all of Heaven Dou City. Every Soul Master in the city felt their Soul Power seize up, and even breathing became incredibly difficult.

Then, countless crimson points of light suddenly appeared in the sky, forming nine blood-red pillars of light, each dozens of zhang thick.

Without warning, they descended from the sky, striking specific areas of Heaven Dou City with pinpoint accuracy.

Among them were the places Qian Wuyou had specially targeted: Shrek Academy, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Moonlight Pavilion, opened by Tang Yuehua, and the Heaven Dou City properties of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"What... what the hell is this?!"

The pillars of light descending from the sky put Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ge Long, and the others on high alert.

"People of Heaven Dou City, this is my parting gift to you."

"Each pillar of light contains a Soul Power attack on the level of a six-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast."

"Converted into human Soul Power levels, each is equivalent to the full-force strike of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo..."

"A friendly reminder—this means that next, you're about to endure nine Soul Power bombardments, each unleashed with the full force of a Peerless Douluo..."

When he finished speaking, Qian Wuyou's gaze remained indifferent as he looked down from above at Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ge Long, and the others, whose faces had turned deathly pale.
