Angel Slaying God

The golden holy sword descended with the force of a world-ending cataclysm, its sharp, sacred sword qi instantly tearing through the air. Even though the entrance to the Undead Demiplane had nearly closed, the lingering power still carried a razor-sharp edge, slamming fiercely into the group.

Huo Yuhao felt as if his bones were about to shatter, the holy power piercing his meridians like sharp knives. Du Busi and Xuan Zi exhausted their remaining soul power to block the blow, yet they were still sent flying, vomiting blood as the sword qi carved deep, bone-exposing wounds into their bodies. They were on the verge of being completely obliterated by the holy sword.

At this critical juncture, a dazzling blue-gold light suddenly erupted from within Wang Dong. His spiritual sea burst open, and a tall, blue-gold figure slowly emerged. Surrounded by the majestic pressure of the Sea God, the figure stared at Qian Daoliu with eyes like torches and roared, "Who dares to challenge the majesty of the Sea God!"

The voice shook the entire arena, causing even the momentum of the holy sword to falter for an instant. Qian Daoliu's pupils constricted, but he did not stop his assault.

High on the viewing platform, Xu Tianran watched the phantom of the Sea God near Huo Yuhao and muttered, "The Sea God? Does a god truly exist in this world?" Xu Tianran seemed to have discovered a world-shattering secret; his body trembled uncontrollably, filled with intense excitement.

It was only when the young woman behind him gently patted his back that Xu Tianran calmed down and relaxed slightly.

"Ju Zi, thank you!" Xu Tianran instinctively reached out to stroke Ju Zi's delicate hand. Ju Zi's entire body recoiled instinctively, but she was ultimately caught by Xu Tianran. She forced herself to suppress her disgust and cater to him.

Nearby, Elder Kong and the middle-aged man in fine robes stared at the Sea God's phantom, murmuring to themselves with glowing eyes, "The Sea God?"

"So you are the Sea God, the culprit who destroyed my Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu scrutinized the blue-gold figure before him. The figure wore a blue-gold divine robe adorned with wave patterns, surrounded by a pale blue divine radiance. His black hair was tied up, his face handsome yet filled with stern majesty. A Sea God Trident mark was embedded in his brow, and phantoms of Blue Silver Grass swirled around him, every inch of him exuding the vast aura of a god.

The blue-gold figure also studied Qian Daoliu, his brows furrowed in a long silence. "You are Qian Daoliu?"

"You recognize This Seat?"

Qian Daoliu searched his own memories, but there was no existence that matched the Sea God figure before him.

"You no longer recognize this Sea God? That is fine. Ten thousand years ago, I did not kill you with my own hands; today, this Sea God shall personally eradicate you, this remnant of the Spirit Hall."

The blue-gold figure mobilized all the divine consciousness within Wang Dong's spiritual sea, intending to suppress and kill Qian Daoliu with god-level spiritual power. Little did he know that Qian Daoliu had also attained god-level spiritual power, his foundation unfathomably deep.

Qian Daoliu's gaze turned cold, and his vast divine consciousness swept out. With a backhand strike, he forcefully suppressed the Sea God's consciousness, instantly locking it down and rendering its divine power stagnant and immobile.

"Impossible, you have also reached the divine realm?"

Feeling the terrifying spiritual power of Qian Daoliu, a sense of dread surged into the heart of the Sea God's consciousness.

"Qian Daoliu, you dare to kill a god! You will regret this! Regret..."

Qian Daoliu raised his hand and shattered the Sea God Tang San's divine consciousness left within Wang Dong.

Qian Daoliu looked disdainfully at the Sea God's consciousness as it dissolved into specks of light. "If your true body had descended, I might have feared you! But you are merely a divine consciousness avatar of the Sea God! Today, I shall kill a god!"

However, this delay allowed Huo Yuhao and the others to escape.

"Dong'er, are you alright! Qian Daoliu, I will never share the same sky as you!" As the Undead Demiplane closed, Huo Yuhao's desperate roar echoed from within!

On the viewing platform, Xu Tianran and Kong Deming were both breathing heavily. "This Angel Excellency can actually kill a god!"

Beside them, Bo Saixi's eyes grew even brighter as she looked at Qian Daoliu.

The millions of spectators inside and outside the arena were silent at first, then erupted into a roar like a tsunami: "Angel God!"

"Angel God!"

Qian Daoliu felt countless specks of light converging toward his brow, and the godhood behind him solidified further.

"This Huo Yuhao is truly difficult to kill!"

Qian Daoliu felt somewhat speechless. He had exhausted his ultimate moves, yet Huo Yuhao had still managed to escape.

Fortunately, at this moment, Bo Saixi walked to his side and comforted him softly, "Qian Daoliu, I will always be by your side, until all the evil in this world is eradicated."

Bo Saixi's face was filled with tenderness.

At the same time, on the viewing platform, Xu Tianran said something to Elder Kong.

Shortly after, Elder Kong ordered the Royal Soul Engineer Corps to withdraw the protective barriers and commanded the crowds to disperse. He then flew alone to the side of Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi.

Elder Kong landed before them.

He bowed respectfully and said, "I, Kong Deming, titled Silver Moon, pay my respects to the two Excellencies! On behalf of His Majesty, I thank you both for helping the Sun Moon Empire eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult, that evil force, today!"

"Furthermore, His Majesty has specifically asked me to invite you both for a conversation!"

Kong Deming kept his posture very low as he conveyed Xu Tianran's command.

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu noticed that the competition arena had already retracted its layered defensive shields. He looked up and nodded toward Xu Tianran on the platform.

He accepted the favor of Xu Tianran's assistance in killing the fallen ones today.

Qian Daoliu then curiously studied the old man before him.

Even though this old man's cultivation is only that of a Titled Douluo, why does he give me such a dangerous feeling?

This was Qian Daoliu's first impression of Kong Deming.

Qian Daoliu still had many questions, and since the Sun Moon Emperor had extended an invitation, he decided to go with the flow and build a connection with this Sun Moon Emperor.

He could also use the resources of the Sun Moon Empire to investigate the history of the Spirit Hall's destruction and understand what had become of the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later.

"We accept the Sun Moon Emperor's invitation. Silver Moon Douluo, lead the way!"

"Very well! Please, this way, Excellencies!"

With that, Qian Daoliu brought Bo Saixi and followed Kong Deming to the presence of the Sun Moon Emperor, Xu Tianran.

Beside Xu Tianran, the layered defensive shields had been fully retracted, leaving only Ju Zi and the middle-aged man in fine robes behind him.

Kong Deming first introduced them to Qian Daoliu, "Your Excellencies, this is Jing Hongchen, the current Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Master of Mingde Hall, the continent's premier soul device sanctuary!" Kong Deming gestured toward the middle-aged man in fine robes beside him.

"And this is Her Majesty the Empress, Empress Ju Zi!" Kong Deming pointed to the young woman in orange attire standing behind Xu Tianran.

"Finally, this is the current Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, His Majesty Xu Tianran, titled the Sun Moon Emperor."

Kong Deming bowed slightly toward Xu Tianran.

Qian Daoliu looked at each of them in turn as Kong Deming introduced them.

Finally, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi exchanged a glance before offering a polite greeting to Xu Tianran: "Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu! Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Sea God Douluo, Bo Saixi! Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Neither of them even bent their waists.

Xu Tianran did not find this improper, but it infuriated Jing Hongchen, who stood to the side.

"How bold! Your Excellencies are being far too rude; to not kneel upon seeing His Majesty!"

Hearing this, the expressions of Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi turned as dark as water.

Qian Daoliu turned and raised his hand, intending to slap Jing Hongchen and send him flying into the wall. During the motion, he saw a transparent film of light instantly expand around Jing Hongchen, blocking his entire attack.

At the same time, Kong Deming merely illuminated his own shield and stood guard in front of Xu Tianran, showing no intention of intervening.

"Protect the Emperor!" Ju Zi's voice trembled as she called out to the soul engineer regiment nearby.

However, Xu Tianran spoke up to interrupt: "All of you, stand down!"
