When Qian Xunji spoke Qian Renshuang's name, the system's voice rang in his ear.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have gained a daughter—Qian Renshuang—and made an outstanding contribution to the growth of your family."

"Upon assessment, Qian Renshuang's aptitude is Red Title Grade."

"Congratulations, host. You have gained five levels of Soul Power, one set of Fortification Array knowledge, and one set of Soul Power Sealing Array knowledge."

"In one minute, the system will raise your Soul Power and instill the array knowledge. Please prepare yourself."

Hearing his granddaughter's cries, Qian Daoliu strode into the delivery room, overjoyed.

But at a glance, he could tell that Qian Renxue wasn't Leng Lingyuan's child.

Qian Renxue had been born a full month before Qian Renshuang.

Whose child Qian Renxue was needed no explanation.

So this was what Qian Xunji had meant when he told him he'd only made Bibi Dong reflect on her actions and hadn't done anything else?

What an animal! He was going to be the death of him!

No wonder Qian Xunji had suddenly decided to marry. He'd committed a grave wrong and was afraid his father would find out.

What infuriated Qian Daoliu most was that Leng Lingyuan had joined Qian Xunji in deceiving him.

As far as he knew, Leng Lingyuan had always been an upright girl. He'd never imagined she'd gone completely astray after spending just a year with Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji was a menace to everyone around him!

He was going to be the death of him!

How could he ever show his face again?

If word got out, Tang Chen would surely laugh at him, and Bo Saixi would despise him.

After all, he'd raised a son who was such a beast.

Qian Daoliu fought down his anger and dragged Qian Xunji out of the delivery room.

Qian Xunji knew exactly what was on Qian Daoliu's mind.

And he'd done it this way precisely because he wanted to lay his cards on the table with Qian Daoliu and tell him to stop meddling in his affairs from now on.

Level 99 Soul Power, a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, and Soul Bones—these were what gave Qian Xunji the confidence to stand up to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Xunji followed Qian Daoliu out of Pope Palace and onto the streets of Spirit City.

Qian Daoliu demanded furiously, "Qian Xunji, answer me. Is Qian Renxue Bibi Dong's daughter?"

"So what if she is?"

"So what if she is?"

"Qian Xunji, what did you tell me back then?" Qian Daoliu fought down the urge to attack and questioned him again.

"I did nothing wrong."

"Bibi Dong brought this on herself."

"I gave her a chance."

"She was the one who didn't cherish it."

"She was the one who wanted to leave Spirit Hall."

"I was saving her."

"She could only stay alive if she remained in Spirit Hall."

"Spirit Hall has spent manpower and resources on her for years. It can't all go to waste."

"I did nothing wrong!"

"Bibi Dong was blessed in a past and present life to bear my child."

"Qian Xunji, you think you're all grown up now, and that I can't control you anymore?" Qian Daoliu summoned his Six-Winged Angel and clenched both fists, desperately restraining his urge to strike.

He was afraid that, in a fit of rage, he'd make Leng Lingyuan a widow and leave their two newborn children without a father.

"Qian Xunji, have you thought about how outsiders will view Spirit Hall if this gets out? And how the people under you will view you, their Pope?"

"How will the other families in Spirit Hall view the Qian Family?"

"Go release Bibi Dong right now, and then resign as Pope. Let Leng Lingyuan manage Spirit Hall for now. When a suitable candidate comes along, they can take over."

"Go to the Ancestral God Ground and reflect on your actions."

"Now! Immediately!"

Qian Xunji didn't budge.

Partly because of the system.

And partly because he had no intention of going to the Ancestral God Ground to reflect on his actions.

The Ancestral God Ground was the inheritance ground of the Angel God.

"One minute has passed. Instilling five levels of Soul Power and knowledge of two arrays into the host."

As the system's voice faded, Qian Xunji's Six-Winged Angel appeared behind him.

His Soul Power Level of 99 registered in Qian Daoliu's perception.

Of course, Qian Xunji's nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings were even more shocking.

How was this possible?!

It had to be fake!

Qian Daoliu was shaken to the core.

Looking at Qian Daoliu, who stood stunned, Qian Xunji spoke at length. "Father, you're old. Your era has passed."

"You should stay in the Worship Hall and watch over your Angel God, instead of sticking your nose into everything."

"I know what I'm doing."

"I can take responsibility for my actions."

"People across the land will gossip about me?"

"Then I'll kill until they're too afraid to gossip about me!"

"The other families in Spirit Hall aren't satisfied?"

"They can come to me. I'll give them an answer they'll be happy with."

"You must be wondering why my strength has increased so much, right?"

"I don't mind telling you."

"I've been chosen by a Deity. I'm destined to become a god. I've achieved what you could spend your whole life striving for and still never accomplish."

"You're merely the Great Enshrined of the Angel God."

"But I will become a being who surpasses the Angel God."

"This era will belong to me, Qian Xunji."

"Father, for the sake of your own dignity, you should return to the Worship Hall."

"Qian Xunji, you've gone too far!"

"Today, I'll show you with facts that even among Limit Douluo, there are vast differences!" Qian Daoliu attacked in an instant, determined to teach Qian Xunji a thorough lesson. He even went so far as to invoke Angel Divine Power.

"Father, you brought this on yourself."

Qian Xunji's eyes were utterly indifferent as he unleashed three Soul Skills in succession.

Seventh Soul Skill: Angel True Body!

Soul Bone Combined Skill: Angel Domain!

Ninth Soul Skill: Angel Glory!

Qian Xunji's body instantly grew colossal, filling half the sky above Spirit City.

Qian Daoliu filled the other half.

Next, Qian Xunji's Angel Domain spread over all of Spirit City.

Qian Daoliu was horrified. Even with Angel Divine Power, he still felt himself being suppressed by Qian Xunji's domain.

You unfilial son!

Last came Qian Xunji's Ninth Soul Skill—Angel Glory.

"Father, dare you fight me in the sky?" Qian Xunji shot upward first.

"You unfilial son! As if I'd be afraid of you!" Qian Daoliu followed close behind. He refused to believe Qian Xunji could truly defeat him.

Even with Qian Xunji's domain suppressing him, Qian Daoliu still couldn't believe Qian Xunji had what it took to beat him.

Golden Crocodile, Lion, Qian Jun, and the other enshrined had arrived some time ago. But since the two sides were Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji, none of them could intervene.

What they hadn't expected was that Qian Xunji had gained a Deity's approval and shot all the way up to Level 99 Soul Power.

Even more astonishing was how fiercely father and son clashed, going straight from words to blows.

Fortunately, the two had gone high above Spirit City and shouldn't cause any damage to it.

Still, to be safe, the enshrined put defensive measures in place throughout Spirit City.

Qian Xunji waited until Qian Daoliu had risen to his altitude and drawn level with him before unleashing Angel Glory.

A golden beam shot straight toward Qian Daoliu.

Qian Xunji's Angel Domain was a unique domain formed from seven Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. It had countless uses.

Suppressing an opponent was only one of them.

It could also increase the power of Qian Xunji's Soul Skills.

The Angel Glory, which had originally been ten meters wide and a hundred meters long, instantly became ten meters wide and a thousand meters long.

It moved incredibly fast.

Within Qian Xunji's domain, Qian Daoliu's speed was affected as well.

He couldn't dodge Angel Glory.

Qian Daoliu was bathed in Angel Glory.

It seemed to him as though Angel Glory would never end.

Most importantly, Angel Glory could even turn corners, carrying Qian Daoliu straight toward the ground.

As it neared the ground, Angel Glory abruptly halted its downward rush and vanished.

Though Angel Glory had disappeared, the force carrying Qian Daoliu downward remained.

Qian Daoliu rolled a long way across the ground before finally coming to a stop.

He was badly injured.

Qian Xunji looked at Qian Daoliu and said calmly, "Father, go back to the Worship Hall. Don't interfere in my affairs again."
