"Secret Technique—Ring Detonation!" "Secret Technique—Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"Ninth Soul Skill—Sea God's Descent!" "Ninth Soul Skill—Sea God Imprisonment!"
"Ninth Soul Skill—Angel Descent!" "Ninth Soul Skill—Breath of the Angel!"
Just a moment ago, Qian Daoliu, who had recently broken through to Peerless Douluo, had been locked in battle with Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect and Bo Saixi of Sea God Island, both of whom were at the same cultivation level.
The three Peerless Douluo unleashed their strongest Soul Skills at once. Just as the six terrifying Soul Skills collided,
"Rumble!"
A flash of sacred light streaked past, and the three Peerless Douluo vanished from where they stood.
The next second, Qian Daoliu awoke from his unconsciousness. Feeling himself plummeting, he was immediately gripped by a sense of danger.
Qian Daoliu forced himself to summon his depleted Soul Power. Six pure white, sacred angel wings burst open behind him, their golden light tearing through the void.
He beat his wings fiercely. A gale erupted, abruptly halting his fall, and he barely managed to steady himself several dozen feet above the ground.
His wings swept through the air currents. His figure stood tall and straight, godlike, tracing a perfect arc through the sky. Wherever it passed, cries of pain rose one after another from the ground. "Ah! That's a holy aura!"
The holy aura swept across the land. Evil and filth crumbled wherever it passed, and suffering faded away.
The people on the ground fell to their knees, bowing their heads in reverence as they cried out in praise:
"Divine power! The Angel God has descended!"
"The Angel God has shown mercy! My chronic illness and hidden injuries have all healed!"
"May the Angel God bless us! Praise the supreme Angel God!"
"We welcome the Angel God's descent! Save all living beings!"
Beneath the boundless sacred light, the masses prostrated themselves, filled with endless awe and fervent worship for the angel Qian Daoliu had become.
After flying a circle around the area, Qian Daoliu was first overcome by lingering fear. Then he discovered, to his astonishment, that energy and points of light were continually gathering around him from the ground below.
His once-parched, depleted Soul Power was being replenished, and the realm he had long been unable to break through was beginning to loosen.
Qian Daoliu felt his soul suddenly unfurl, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. His spiritual power became an endless sacred light, allowing him to perceive the myriad laws of heaven and earth. Every shackle from his past dissolved.
Vast, sacred power surged from his soul. Golden light gathered behind him, and the embryonic form of a terrifying Angel Phantom quietly took shape, its pressure sweeping in every direction.
At the same time, Qian Daoliu gazed toward the sky and sensed that something in the distance seemed to be calling him.
But the feeling was quickly severed by a murderous aura. Qian Daoliu could feel that the aura had locked onto him. Just as he was about to flee and evade it, an equally terrifying aura of Destruction shielded him from the murderous aura. Then both the murderous aura and the aura of Destruction vanished, but his connection to the distant place had been completely cut off as well. "Asura, you've crossed the line!"
Qian Daoliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gathered his thoughts, and began to examine his current state.
"The divine realm?"
"The embryonic form of a divine position?"
Feeling his vast sea of spiritual consciousness and the faint outline of a divine position behind him, Qian Daoliu suddenly understood. He knew that he had finally broken through the limits of a mortal and reached the divine realm—or, more precisely, the Pseudo-God realm.
That was because only his spiritual realm had broken through; his divine position had yet to fully take shape. Furthermore, due to the plane's suppression, his strength had only reached the very limits of a Peerless Douluo.
After Qian Daoliu's strength increased, his spiritual realm instantly covered the entire area. He first spotted Tang Chen and Bo Saixi still falling from the sky.
He then flashed to Bo Saixi's side and caught the incomparably beautiful woman securely in his arms.
"Saixi, are you all right?"
Holding Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu quietly checked her condition.
Bo Saixi woke up. The first person she saw was Qian Daoliu. Her gaze searched around for something, but then she sensed the unfathomably terrifying realm he had reached.
Bo Saixi came to her senses at once. "Qian Daoliu, you broke through?"
Qian Daoliu neither nodded nor shook his head. He simply held Bo Saixi in his arms and quietly watched Tang Chen crash hard into the ground not far away.
At the same time, Tang Chen woke up too. He watched Qian Daoliu save Bo Saixi without lifting a finger to save him, and couldn't help shouting at Qian Daoliu.
"Qian Daoliu, fuck you! You bastard, choosing a woman over your friend!"
Qian Daoliu simply ignored Tang Chen. In midair, he sent a little Soul Power into Bo Saixi, allowing her to steady herself and remain aloft.
Then he and Bo Saixi carefully surveyed the world around them. Qian Daoliu's spiritual power instantly spread across the entire area. Only then did he realize that they were above a vast city. Below him, a grand tournament was underway. The words written prominently at the venue read: "Sun Moon Empire: Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament." The venue and its surroundings were packed with people, numbering at least a million by his initial estimate.
At the same time, Qian Daoliu discovered countless evil auras throughout the city that filled him with disgust.
As his divine spiritual power sensed energy and points of light continually gathering around him from the air, Qian Daoliu began to understand how he had managed to turn disaster into fortune and break through.
"A Soul Master Tournament? Interesting. So I'm still on the Douluo Continent!"
"The Sun Moon Empire? Since when did the Douluo Continent have a country by that name?"
Sensing the familiar energies of heaven and earth and looking at the writing on the venue below, Qian Daoliu muttered to himself uncertainly.
"Qian Daoliu, where are we?" Bo Saixi asked from beside him, her beautiful eyes shifting as she looked at the divine radiance surrounding him.
What Bo Saixi herself didn't realize was that her previous indifference toward Qian Daoliu had now turned into admiration and dependence.
"We should still be on the Douluo Continent, but this place is a little different from the Douluo Continent we knew. We'll have to investigate further to find out exactly how!"
"Saixi, I have something to take care of. Just stay over there and watch!"
With that, Qian Daoliu furrowed his brows, and his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul burst forth once again.
Qian Daoliu shouted, "Seventh Soul Skill—Angel True Body!"
"Angel Domain, open!"
"Ninth Soul Skill—Breath of the Angel!"
With that, Qian Daoliu unleashed his strongest Soul Skills and began flying around the entire city.
The first victims on the ground were one of the two small teams competing at the time.
As Qian Daoliu drew near that team, most of its members were burned to ash by the sacred light. Only a black-clad girl who had released Blue Silver Grass was still gritting her teeth and holding on.
But her body, too, was beginning to crumble.
By the time Qian Daoliu reached her, she had completely turned to ash, transforming into energy and points of light far purer and more abundant than those of an ordinary fallen person. They flowed into Qian Daoliu's body, and the entire team was wiped out.
"This fallen person bears such deep sins!" Feeling the changes in his Soul Power and divine position, Qian Daoliu couldn't help exclaiming.
Not far from the team, a slender black-clad girl was also trembling uncontrollably. A Phoenix Martial Soul wreathed in black flames suddenly appeared behind her, desperately resisting Qian Daoliu's holy aura and slowing the disintegration of her body.
"Saintess, are you all right?" someone beside the girl immediately asked. She waved her hand and tried to get away from there as quickly as possible.
How could Qian Daoliu let her escape? He released the Soul Power of a Peerless Douluo, and Breath of the Angel covered the entire area.
Every fallen person below the level of Titled Douluo turned to ash.
"What an evil fallen person!"
Qian Daoliu had reaped a bountiful harvest this time as well!
"Sister Xiao Ya!"
"Sister Xiao Tao!"
On the other side, a boy sitting in a wheelchair shouted frantically at the black-clad girl. "Damn Angel Soul Master! How dare you kill a student from Shrek Academy?!"
A beautiful girl stood behind the boy, pushing his wheelchair.
"Xiao Ya! No!"
In the team behind the boy, a youth in a blue-and-gold-trimmed robe watched the black-clad girl turn completely to ash, sobbing uncontrollably.
At the same time, a vicious glint flashed through the boy's eyes. He released his Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and tried to lunge at Qian Daoliu.
But his attack couldn't even reach Qian Daoliu. The powerful aura surrounding him shattered the boy's Martial Soul.
Qian Daoliu didn't even glance at him.
Instead, he looked toward the boy in the wheelchair. A strange light blossomed at the boy's brow as he prepared to use a Soul Skill against Qian Daoliu.
At that moment, a voice in the boy's spiritual sea kept shouting at him. "Yuhao, don't!"
"Yuhao, don't!"
"That Angel Soul Master isn't someone you can deal with right now!"
The boy was none other than Huo Yuhao from Peerless Tang Sect, and the girl pushing his wheelchair was Wang Dong'er. Xiao Ya across from them was Tang Ya of the Tang Sect, while Ma Xiaotao of the Shrek Inner Court was the one Huo Yuhao called Sister Xiao Tao. The youth in blue and gold was Beibei of the Tang Sect, and the souls in the wheelchair boy's spiritual sea were Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Electrolux, and others.
But the boy in the wheelchair ignored all the voices, intent on killing Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu saw a strange light bloom at the boy's brow, followed by an eye Martial Soul emerging from it.
Qian Daoliu had already reached the divine realm in terms of spiritual power. Faced with Huo Yuhao's provocation, he wasn't about to go easy on him. His god-level spiritual power instantly countered Huo Yuhao.
"Kid, there's something unclean inside you, too!" Qian Daoliu was quite curious. He had clearly sensed an aura of death in the wheelchair boy's spiritual sea. Yet the boy standing before him hadn't been cleansed by his Breath of the Angel.
