Qian Daoliu turned and saw who had arrived. It was his beloved, Bo Saixi.
Just moments ago, Bo Saixi had still been locked in a fierce battle with Du Busi.
Under normal circumstances, Bo Saixi could have easily defeated Du Busi.
But Du Busi had watched as the Body Sect was nearly wiped out and the Heaven Dou Empire's elite forces were completely destroyed.
So Du Busi resolved to die fighting. He burned through his life force and broke through to Limit Douluo in his final moments.
Then he fought Bo Saixi to the death.
Bo Saixi did not dare let her guard down. Du Busi had burned through his life force while his Golden Awakening Martial Soul unleashed three times his usual strength.
He intended to take Bo Saixi down with him.
If Du Busi hadn't held back out of concern for Princess Wei Na and because Bo Saixi possessed the Super Divine Artifact, the Life Scepter,
then Du Busi might really have managed to trade his life for hers.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Bo Saixi unleashed the first Soul Skill of her Second Martial Soul. "First Soul Skill—Life Stripping!"
At the same time, Qian Daoliu was also unleashing the first Soul Skill of his Second Martial Soul.
Qian Daoliu was focused entirely on resisting Zhongli Wu's self-destruction and felt nothing unusual. Bo Saixi, however, sensed something strange!
"What is this?"
Bo Saixi murmured to herself, her eyes bright with joy.
But she couldn't confirm it just yet. She still had an opponent to deal with—Du Busi. Fortunately, she had the Life Scepter, her Second Martial Soul and trump card for staying alive.
Bo Saixi watched as Du Busi, who had been burning through his life force to gain power, withered away in an instant under the force of her Soul Skill.
"No!"
"Wei Na, go find Huo..."
Du Busi didn't even have time to unleash a Soul Skill. He hadn't finished his last words when he died.
Bo Saixi merely looked at his shriveled body and said, "Those who commit countless injustices bring ruin upon themselves!"
As for Princess Wei Na, Bo Saixi didn't kill her outright.
She merely sealed her Soul Power and handed her over to the Soul Hall Soul Engineer Legion to keep under guard.
Only after all that was done did Bo Saixi have time to check on Qian Daoliu.
She had expected Qian Daoliu's attributes to completely counter Evil Soul Masters. Even if the fight wasn't as easy as slicing melons and chopping vegetables, it should have been as effortless as drinking water.
But things had unfolded in the exact opposite way.
Qian Daoliu was now struggling with all his might to resist Zhongli Wu's self-destruction.
Seeing that Qian Daoliu was about to lose, Bo Saixi didn't hesitate for a moment. She hurried toward the battlefield.
When Bo Saixi reached Qian Daoliu's side, Zhongli Wu's self-destruction had already broken through Qian Daoliu's control over Destruction.
With no other choice, Bo Saixi took Qian Daoliu's hand, intending to use all her Life power to protect him.
And then, something miraculous happened.
Bo Saixi sensed that she and Qian Daoliu had somehow formed a "Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
That was how the spectacular scene from before had come to pass. "Flower of Creation!"
Flower of Creation: Its petals formed a law barrier nearly a thousand meters across, annihilating all explosions, Evil Soul essence, main Soul Guidance cannons, and domain impacts;
Any attack that struck the barrier was instantly broken down into its base energy. Some became Life energy that nourished their allies, while the rest was dissolved by Destruction.
The warm divine powers of Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi flowed together through their joined hands. The violent, overbearing power of Destruction inside Qian Daoliu was drawn out and swirled around them.
At the same time, Bo Saixi's pure, gentle Life power burst forth. Two ultimate forces, one that destroyed and one that gave life, surged together, circling and balancing each other.
Purple and green light intertwined, slowly gathering into a resplendent, sacred Flower of Creation.
Its petals unfurled layer by layer, carrying both an endless wellspring of life and the power to extinguish all things. It held the rampaging force of the deathly blast fast, gently binding the devastating burst of undead energy before dissolving it layer by layer.
"No~!"
Zhongli Wu had already escaped the heart of the explosion and was admiring the look of despair on the face of Qian Daoliu, a Limit Douluo.
But he hadn't enjoyed the sight for long before the terrifying power of creation enveloped and consumed his formless body.
Some of it was transformed into pure energy and returned to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi. The rest was dissolved by Destruction.
And so, Zhongli Wu, a great tyrant of the Holy Spirit Cult, met his end.
As for Dark Thunder Douluo, he had long since fled and disappeared without a trace.
When the Flower of Creation bloomed, purple and green light washed over all of Heaven Dou City.
In the distance, Ye Guyi, Qiangu Zhenyue, and the others stood with their respective Soul Engineer teams, staring blankly at the blooming Flower of Creation. That was where Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi had been swallowed by the explosion.
They couldn't accept that the two Limit Douluos, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, had left them just like that. But the explosion had happened right before their eyes. They had no choice but to believe it, and they cried out for the two of them in anguished voices. "Ancestor!"
"Teacher!"
Even Fire Phoenix Douluo couldn't hold back her tears as she looked toward Qian Daoliu, who had been engulfed by the Flower of Creation. "Lord Angel!"
"How could this happen?"
Just as everyone and the two Soul Engineer Legions had fallen into utter despair,
the brilliant purple and green light slowly faded, and the tremendous power dissipated. Two tall figures emerged unhurriedly from the fading glow.
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi stood hand in hand, supporting each other lightly. The divine powers of Life and Destruction flowed warmly around them, and they were completely unharmed.
Everyone's despair vanished in an instant, and they surged forward. Ye Guyi, overjoyed and still shaken, threw herself straight into Qian Daoliu's arms.
Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, and Jin Lin hurried over after her, taking their places at Qian Daoliu's side.
Guang Yao also threw herself affectionately into Bo Saixi's arms and cuddled up to her.
Fire Phoenix Douluo looked at the two of them, safe and sound. She had wanted to step closer to Qian Daoliu too, but when she saw their hands clasped together, she wisely stopped where she was and said softly, "I'm so glad you're both safe, Your Excellencies!"
Bo Saixi could clearly see how flustered Fire Phoenix Douluo was, even as she tried her best to act natural.
Qian Daoliu could tell, too, that Fire Phoenix Douluo had feelings for him. But his heart already belonged to someone else, so he merely replied without warmth or coldness, "Mm! We had a close call, but we're safe!"
"We have Xixi to thank for coming to our aid! Otherwise, all of Heaven Dou City might have been buried alongside the Holy Spirit Cult!"
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu naturally took Bo Saixi's hand and raised it for everyone to see.
That was enough to put an end to Fire Phoenix Douluo's hopes.
Bo Saixi was overjoyed inside, but she still shot Qian Daoliu a playful glare.
Fire Phoenix Douluo felt as if her heart were bleeding, but she still thanked the two of them. "Thank you, Your Excellencies, for eliminating this great threat to the Sun Moon Empire!"
"And for eliminating this great threat to Heaven Dou's people!"
Fire Phoenix Douluo's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an extraordinary force.
Nearly two thousand Soul Engineers from the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion behind her also called out to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi.
At the same time, the Soul Hall Soul Engineer Legion refused to be outdone. "Great Enshrined, Second Worship, mighty!"
Their shouts rose and fell, echoing throughout Heaven Dou City.
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi accepted the praise with ease.
After the crowd had celebrated for a while,
Qian Daoliu instructed Fire Phoenix Douluo to contact the First Soul Engineer Legion and the Central Infantry Legion and have them garrison Heaven Dou City.
They had to make sure the city returned to normal as soon as possible.
Also, since Qian Daoliu had stolen an Evil Soul Master kill from Ye Guyi,
Ye Guyi had fallen short of the improvement she'd expected this time.
So Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi discussed it briefly and decided to go big.
