"Did it succeed?"
Qian Yu whispered to himself as he channeled his martial soul.
Immediately following, the Six-Winged Angel manifested.
Dismissing the Six-Winged Angel, he once again sensed his own condition.
The next moment, a long sword radiating red-gold light appeared in his hand.
A god-bestowed tool martial soul: the Blazing Holy Sword.
"Something's wrong!"
Qian Yu quickly discovered the anomaly.
The Blazing Holy Sword martial soul held in his right hand possessed a soul ring—a golden soul ring.
It was the god-level soul ring left behind after Qian Renxue's sacrifice.
To Qian Yu's surprise, Qian Renxue's final divine soul had not merged into the divine artifact, the Angel Holy Sword, but had instead fused into his own martial soul, the Blazing Holy Sword.
Because his mind was connected to his martial soul, he could clearly sense Qian Renxue's current state; only a wisp of her remnant soul remained, currently in a deep slumber.
To say Qian Renxue had merged into the Blazing Holy Sword was not entirely accurate; more precisely, she had fused into the god-level soul ring of the Blazing Holy Sword.
Clearly, some unexpected variables had occurred during the final step.
Fortunately, everything he had sought had been achieved.
Qian Yu carefully contemplated all the changes within himself.
His Six-Winged Angel martial soul came with the Angel Domain.
Once the domain was deployed, it could shroud an area of several thousand square meters in the air; within this range, he was the absolute master.
The Angel Domain allowed him to turn into a phantom, boosting his own strength by thirty percent, weakening enemies by ten percent, and granting the domain's power to his teammates.
The domain possessed a built-in purification ability that could continuously drain an enemy's soul power and sensory capabilities, and it could fix enemies at the center of the domain; even teleportation would only result in them running in place.
This was a domain that should only have been fully enabled once an Angel martial soul wielder reached the Soul Saint realm; yet, having just obtained his first soul ring, he had already mastered the Angel Domain—clearly a result of Qian Renxue's sacrifice.
The Blazing Holy Sword martial soul also carried the prototype of a domain, though it was not yet fully enabled.
The first soul ring Qian Renxue bestowed upon him contained only two soul skills.
Or rather, it would be more appropriate to call them two divine skills: one offensive and one defensive!
They were Angel Judgment and Angel Shield.
Angel Judgment, one of the profound mysteries of the Angel God, was condensed from holy light flames and possessed terrifying lethality. When cast, it would manifest an identical golden angel phantom, and a massive golden pillar of light, condensed from the judgment light released by the sun, would descend from the heavens to strike the enemy.
Under this scorching radiance, the enemy's movements would become extremely sluggish, and the soul power within their bodies would dissipate rapidly, like snow melting under the sun.
Angel Shield condensed a layer of faint golden flowing light to form a strange barrier, protecting himself and everything within its range. This was a rule-based divine skill capable of defending against any form of attack; even gods would need to rely on divine artifacts to break through this defense.
Both soul skills were incredibly powerful and heaven-defying, but the problem was that with his current soul power, he couldn't even sustain them for a single second.
Beyond that, his other gains included the full set of soul bones: the Angel Set.
When Qian Renxue inherited them, each soul bone had an initial age of 99,999 years, just a hair's breadth away from 100,000 years. Activating all six simultaneously would elevate them to 100,000 years, and after she inherited the Angel God's position, the soul bones transformed into the Holy Angel Armor, a god-level set of armor.
Although she had lost her divine position, these six soul bones had not diminished in quality; they were genuine god-level soul bones.
The only thing he couldn't do was fuse them into the Holy Angel Armor, given Qian Yu's current strength.
Regardless, the soul skills of the soul bones could still be used.
With a full set of god-level soul bones, combined with the sacrifice of Qian Renxue's divine power, Qian Yu, who was only six years old, had his physical constitution pushed to the absolute limit.
Coupled with the protection of the Angel Head Bone, he was fully capable of absorbing a ten-thousand-year first soul ring.
Such a starting point was unprecedented.
As for his Soul Power Level, it could not yet be determined since he had not obtained a second soul ring, but he was certain it would not be low.
"Even the Angel Set was passed down so early, and they still claim there's nothing fishy about the Angel God's inheritance? Who are they trying to fool?"
After sensing all the power within himself, a cold, golden glint appeared in his eyes.
Once he stepped onto this path, there was absolutely no turning back.
Immediately, Qian Yu put away the Soul Tool storage device and the Angel Holy Sword left behind by Qian Renxue, then walked out of the cave.
"Is there still hope for her to be resurrected?"
Hu Liena had been guarding outside the cave, and seeing only Qian Yu emerge, a look of dimness appeared in her eyes.
"She is currently in a deep slumber. Once my strength improves, she might be able to wake up."
Without Qian Renxue by his side, his tone toward Hu Liena was relatively softer.
After all, he still needed her to act as his beast of burden, didn't he?
"That's good!"
"What do you plan to do next?"
Without Qian Renxue, Hu Liena had completely lost her backbone, and she absurdly asked a six-year-old child for direction.
"No rush to hunt for souls yet. I will wait for this body to fuse with the divine power and the Angel Head Bone for a while longer before hunting for higher-year soul rings."
"In the meantime, let's not sit idle. Come out to sea with me!"
Qian Yu had already begun making plans the moment he decided to walk this path.
The gap between him and Tang San was not merely the difference in a divine position; it also included the Tang Sect's unique arts that Tang San possessed.
The most critical among them were the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Purple Demon Eye.
Things like the Purple Demon Eye and the Mysterious Jade Hand could be obtained now that the Tang Sect was about to be established.
But the authentic Mysterious Heaven Skill was something not even the entire Tang Sect possessed.
In this era, only one person knew it.
Tang San's direct disciple, Jixiang!
Calculating the time, Jixiang should be around the level of a Soul Emperor now. Even if the Tang Sect arts he practiced could restrain Hu Liena, Hu Liena's cultivation as a Soul Saint would still be enough to defeat him.
What's more, he would be there to assist. Although he couldn't use divine skills for the time being, he could still deploy the Angel Domain to provide support.
The only concern was the fear of coming up empty-handed.
He remembered that Tang San had not only bestowed the Sea God's Mark upon Jixiang, allowing him to enter and leave Sea God Island freely, but had also kept him there.
If he remained on Sea God Island, it would truly be difficult to make a move.
Regardless, they had to try.
This guy possessed all of Tang San's true Tang Sect heritage.
One had to know that Tang San had used the Mysterious Heaven Skill all the way to the God King realm, which was enough to show its extraordinary nature.
As for why the core cultivation method of an assassin sect was Taoist in origin, who could say?
It took a full month and a half of inquiring everywhere before Qian Yu and Hu Liena finally located the Pearl Island where Zi Zhenzhu resided.
Relying on the concealment and disguise of the Angel Head Bone, the two of them easily infiltrated the island.
Their luck was quite good; they ran into Jixiang the moment they arrived on Pearl Island.
