At that, Qian Daoliu began carefully examining his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul as well.

Qian Daoliu discovered that, at some point, his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had gained a staff in its left hand. It glowed with purple light and emanated a violent, destructive aura.

"Eh? This is a second Martial Soul? But when did I get another staff Martial Soul? Could this be compensation from that mysterious voice for giving up my godhood?"

Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, sounding uncertain.

"Qian Daoliu, what do you mean, giving up your godhood?"

"Ah! Qian Daoliu, where's your divine throne?"

Bo Saixi's gaze followed Qian Daoliu's words to the divine throne behind him.

Having caught Qian Daoliu's inadvertent words, Bo Saixi hurried over and grabbed his hand.

"Darn! I let it slip!" Realizing he'd said too much, Qian Daoliu hurriedly covered his mouth with his other hand.

"Qian Daoliu, talk. Otherwise, I'm going to get angry, and you know I'm not easy to deal with when I'm angry!"

Bo Saixi could tell that Qian Daoliu was definitely hiding something from her, so she stopped being gentle with him.

Qian Daoliu saw that Bo Saixi was on the verge of losing her temper.

He shuddered in fright.

He knew just how terrifying his level-99 Limit Douluo girlfriend could be when she got angry.

She was the one who had once grabbed him and Tang Chen and given them a thorough beating.

So Qian Daoliu had no choice but to tell her everything, explaining that he had sacrificed his godhood to save her.

"What? Qian Daoliu, are you stupid?"

Qian Daoliu had thought Bo Saixi would get angry and beat him up. He was already prepared to silently take it.

But to his surprise, Bo Saixi's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into his arms, sobbing softly. "Qian Daoliu, you're so stupid!"

"No, Sisi, I'm not stupid! A world with you is the most beautiful world of all. What would it matter if I became a god in a world without you?"

Qian Daoliu held Bo Saixi in his arms, feeling completely content. He gazed at the scenery before them as if the whole world were beautiful.

Just as Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were lost in the warmth of the moment, Qian Daoliu sensed something amiss with the aura of the Six-Winged Angel behind him.

Before he could react, a violent, destructive aura filled his body and mind.

Instinctively, Qian Daoliu pushed Bo Saixi far away from him.

The next second, Qian Daoliu lost consciousness completely.

Bo Saixi, now out of reach of Qian Daoliu, noticed that something was wrong and couldn't help calling out to him. "Qian Daoliu! Wake up!"

But Qian Daoliu seemed not to hear her.

His eyes vacant, Qian Daoliu let his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul act on its own.

The purple scepter in his hand swayed slightly, and violent destructive power swept in every direction.

The surrounding rocks, grass, and trees shattered and vanished. The hard ground cracked inch by inch and collapsed in layers. Divine light dispersed, and spiritual energy ran wild. Everything in the path of the scepter's glow was utterly destroyed, leaving a scene of utter devastation.

"Qian Daoliu!"

As she kept calling to Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi also released her Sea God Martial Soul. She began flying beyond the range of his attacks.

Once she was clear of Qian Daoliu's attack range, Bo Saixi steadied herself—and discovered that her Sea God Martial Soul had also gained a green staff in its right hand.

The staff was translucent and jade-white, wreathed in a warm, brilliant emerald glow, utterly unlike Qian Daoliu's violent, destructive purple scepter.

Pure, immense life force flowed through it. Threads of vitality poured out, calming the spiritual energy running wild around them and soothing the ravages of destruction. It held boundless power to nourish all things and restore the world.

"Eh? I've gained another Martial Soul too? Could it really be a gift from that mysterious voice, just as Qian Daoliu said?"

Bo Saixi had no time to think. Qian Daoliu was already attacking her.

Bo Saixi had no intention of fleeing. She had long since chosen Qian Daoliu as her partner for life. He was willing to give up his godhood for her; she would never leave him behind and walk away alone.

Qian Daoliu's aura was now terrifying. Every strike shattered the trees and rocks around him, and everywhere he passed became a lifeless wasteland. Seeing him so completely out of control, Bo Saixi resolved to stop him.

Facing the surging pressure of destruction pouring from Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi didn't recklessly put herself in harm's way. Instead, she immediately used her newly acquired Second Martial Soul, the Emerald Scepter.

Her instincts told her the two scepters complemented and countered each other. She could also feel the Emerald Scepter's abundant vitality and immense life force.

So she wielded the Emerald Scepter with the Sea God's Power, meeting Qian Daoliu's purple scepter, which he wielded with his Angel Martial Soul, in a thunderous clash.

Two utterly different powers collided. Purple-black destructive force and emerald-green life force clashed and intertwined fiercely.

A strange sight suddenly unfolded. The violent aura of destruction around Qian Daoliu gradually subsided. A glimmer of light returned to his vacant eyes, and his rampaging Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul slowly calmed. The destructive pressure weakened significantly as well.

Qian Daoliu regained control of his body. Though he hadn't been able to control himself, he had watched as the Destruction Will drove his body to destroy everything around him.

Now that he had finally regained some control, he looked desperately toward Bo Saixi. His voice was full of anguish and helplessness as he cried out, "Sisi, hurry and kill me! I don't want that Destruction Will to take control of my body again and turn me into a killing machine."

Watching Qian Daoliu struggle to resist the sinister will, Bo Saixi was torn inside and couldn't bring herself to strike.

But when she saw his consciousness being consumed and his body beginning to stir out of control again, she finally steeled herself.

She channeled the Sea God's Power, and the emerald-green scepter pierced straight through Qian Daoliu's body.

"Qian Daoliu, don't worry. I won't leave you alone."

Bo Saixi looked at Qian Daoliu, whom she had just killed. Then she leapt toward the purple scepter and deliberately struck it. Destruction and life collided with a thunderous crash, and space twisted and tore apart.

In an instant, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi vanished from where they had stood, entering an unfamiliar secret realm.

Two phantom figures stood silently in the void. One glimmered with a cold purple light, the other was wreathed in a warm green glow. They were the two mysterious figures who had appeared earlier.

"Sisi!"

"Qian Daoliu!"

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi had both regained consciousness. As soon as they entered the mysterious space, they began searching for each other, calling each other's names again and again.

At last, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi spotted each other!

Qian Daoliu couldn't help embracing Bo Saixi. "Sisi, why are you so foolish? Why did you choose to die with me?"

Bo Saixi just smiled at him. "Qian Daoliu, you're one to talk. Didn't you sacrifice your godhood for me too?"

Just as Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were pouring their hearts out and showering everyone with their affection—

The purple figure in the mysterious space couldn't stand watching any longer and said to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, "Heh heh heh! There are other people here, you know. Have a little consideration!"

"Hm? Who are you?"

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were both startled. They hurriedly stepped apart and released their Martial Souls, ready to face the two figures before them!
