Angel Sacrifice, the Bloodstained Sacred Divine Position

Longevity Sect, above the sea of clouds.

The clear sea breeze passed through the clouds and swept across the empty hall. Li Xuan lightly pinched the dark-blue Reversing Sea Art between his fingers. Deep-sea gloom flowed across its pages, faintly suppressing all orthodox Sea God divine power.

The system notification in his mind was crisp and direct, the numbers settling precisely.

[Current Shock Points Balance: 47,900,000.]

[Reward Item: God-tier Cultivation Art Reversing Sea Art.]

[Character Status: Bo Saixi (Rebel God, Loyalty 81%).]

The Sea God's reputation had been ruined, and all beings of the sea despised gods.

After the previous exposure of the withered bones in the deep sea, the Sea God's false shell of ten-thousand-year benevolence had completely shattered. Hatred for Poseidon surged wildly throughout the entire sea.

Of the continent's four top combat powers, Bo Saixi had already completely turned against the Divine Realm.

Li Xuan raised his eyes toward Heaven Dou City, cold indifference flashing in his gaze.

The Sea God's downfall was over. Next, it was time for that Angel God who claimed to be pure and sacred, born of the cleanest lineage.

"System, begin the eighth Sky Screen Review."

"Theme: <Beneath the Angel's Pure White, a Clan's Sacrifice of Flesh and Blood>."

[Command confirmed! Sky Screen loaded!]

[This review: The unspeakable inheritance taboo of the Angel God Clan!]

Buzz—!

Dazzling golden light abruptly spread across the entire sky.

This was the brightest, holiest radiance in the Sky Screen's history—pure white laced with gold, sacred and flawless.

Yet the more dazzling it was, the colder it made people's hearts.

A line of savage blood-red words tore through the golden light overhead, branding itself into everyone's eyes.

[Douluo Regrets Reckoning, Episode Eight: Pure White Stained with Blood, Divine Position Buries Kin.]

[This episode reveals: For Qian Renxue to become a god, she must sacrifice all Angel bloodlines!]

The glaring words fell, and the entire continent instantly went silent.

Heaven Dou City, the Crown Prince's Residence.

Her golden gown trailed across the floor as Qian Renxue stood alone on the terrace, all color drained from her exquisite face. After shedding Xue Qinghe's disguise, she faced the Sky Screen for the first time as a member of the Angel Clan.

The previous episode's preview had been branded into her heart. Now, the truth was finally revealed.

"Sacrifice... all Angel bloodlines?"

Qian Renxue's slender body trembled slightly, her golden lashes quivering without stop. Since childhood, she had yearned for the Angel Godhood, revered her family's inheritance, and longed to bring glory to Spirit Hall and revive the Angel Clan.

Yet a single sentence from the Sky Screen directly crushed all her faith.

The Sky Screen's image suddenly lit up.

The sacred Angel God Temple floated in the Divine Realm, pure white holy light illuminating every direction. The Angel God sat upon the Divine Position, dignified and holy, seemingly compassionate toward all living beings.

[Everyone knows that the Angel Godhood is pure and noble, with harsh requirements for inheritance.]

[Yet no one knows that the Angel Godhood is the cruelest, bloodiest forbidden Divine Position in the entire Divine Realm.]

[The Angel Clan's bloodline is thin, and its inheritance is fixed. To ensure that the holder of the Divine Position possesses absolute purity of heart, free from all attachments, the inheritance rules carry bloody shackles of their own.]

The icy narration echoed between heaven and earth without a trace of warmth.

The image shifted, revealing the ancient secret laws of the Angel Godhood's inheritance.

Golden runes intertwined into a bizarre formation. At its center, countless phantom Angel Clan members wailed in agony. Blood stained their pure white feathers red, while flesh and bone melted into sacred golden light.

[Every generation of Angel Gods that ascends to the Divine Position must sacrifice all direct blood relatives.]

[Parents, elders, clan members, close kin—none are exempt.]

[The flesh and blood of an entire clan nourishes one person's divine path; the souls of loved ones pave the road to godhood.]

Boom!

Within Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue's entire body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood surged up her throat.

Sacrifice all bloodlines?

Then if she became a god in the future...

Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, and every Angel lineage member of Spirit Hall would all have to be buried alongside her?

The sacred Divine Position she pursued was actually a bloody tomb that buried her closest family?

"No... impossible!" Qian Renxue clutched her chest, her golden eyes reddening as her voice shook hoarsely. "The Angel inheritance is righteous and radiant. How could it have such a vicious rule?!"

The Sky Screen never offered comfort. It only tore apart every disguise with brutal clarity.

The image shifted again, freezing on the end of the original Jialing Pass battle.

A golden Angel goddess floated in the air. Qian Renxue wore the Angel Divine Armor, her gaze cold and empty. She had already become a god, holy light around her vast and boundless.

Yet beneath her feet, corpses littered Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji's remnant soul dispersed. All the consecrates had fallen, and not a single Angel lineage member remained alive.

The entire Spirit Hall had been exterminated.

[In the battle of Jialing Pass, the instant Qian Renxue became a god, she unconsciously triggered the bloodline sacrifice formation.]

[She did not act. She did not harm anyone.]

[Yet the Divine Position's rules operated on their own, erasing every Angel bloodline in the world.]

[At that moment, she ascended to the Divine Position and found herself without a single relative; draped in holy light, she stood alone.]

The pure white, sacred scene of ascension had become mournful and desolate.

She had won the trial, overcome the hardships, and passed the divine examinations.

Yet she had lost all her loved ones forever.

She had clearly longed for family, craved recognition, and hoped for the warmth of her kin.

In the end, she had personally buried her entire clan.

The Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong gripped her pitch-black staff, her violet eyes fixed tightly on the Sky Screen.

As she watched her daughter after becoming a god—lonely and cold—an inexplicable pain stabbed through her heart.

She hated Qian Xunji, hated the past, and hated the gods.

But Qian Renxue was still her flesh and blood, her only daughter.

"The gods... are truly ruthless."

Bibi Dong murmured softly, her fingertips turning pale with bone-chilling cold.

The Sea God had slaughtered the Sea Domain's Soul Beasts, while the Angel God sacrificed an entire clan of blood relatives. Not a single god had clean hands.

The Sky Screen's exposure did not stop. An even crueler line of blood-red text slowly emerged.

[The Angel God deliberately concealed the inheritance taboo.]

[From the moment Qian Renxue awakened her martial soul, she had been chosen by the god as a vessel for sacrifice.]

[Her life, her obsession, and her family bonds were all nourishment meticulously arranged by the Angel God.]

From beginning to end.

Her aspirations were false; being chosen was real.

Divine favor was false; exploitation was real.

From the day Qian Renxue was born, the gods had already written her ending.

Loneliness, pain, sacrifice, and becoming a god alone.

The fatherly love, family affection, and recognition she had pursued her entire life could never be attained.

The Heaven Dou Crown Prince's Residence.

Crystal tears slid down Qian Renxue's beautiful cheeks and struck the cold stone platform.

The grievances she had endured for years, her long-standing loneliness, and the despair of being deceived all erupted completely at this moment.

She had spent her life disguising herself, enduring, plotting, and lying in wait.

For her family, for Spirit Hall, and for that illusory Angel glory.

In the end, it had all been a lie.

"I don't want the Divine Position... I don't want to sacrifice my family..."

Qian Renxue sobbed quietly as golden divine power violently ran out of control, a gale whipping her hair through the air.

The sacred golden light had become savage and violent, no longer gentle.

[Ding! Detected Qian Renxue's complete despair. Her god-hating emotions have erupted!]

[Sorrow Points gained: +4,800,000!]

[God-Hatred Points gained: +5,100,000!]

[Current Shock Points Balance: 57,800,000!]

[Special Notice: Qian Renxue has broken the shackles of the Divine Position. Her innate anti-god physique has activated!]

Longevity Sect, Cloudsea Hall.

Li Xuan listened to the system's pleasant notification and curled his lips faintly.

Another top combat power had completely fallen into his hands.

Bo Saixi had seen through the Sea God's brutality and rebelled against the Sea Domain;

Qian Renxue had learned the truth of the sacrifice and severed her obsession with the Divine Position.

Both Peerless Douluo had turned against the gods. Spirit Hall and Sea God Island had already become strongholds of anti-god resistance.

With a casual motion of his hand, a sphere of pure, gentle golden light appeared in his palm.

[Item: Angel Origin Purification Dew.]

[Effect: Removes the Angel God's lingering curse, severs the divine bloodline shackles, and permanently avoids the sacrifice formation.]

This was the exclusive reward granted by the system settlement, specially meant to save Qian Renxue, who had been trapped in the gods' deception.

"A pitiful divine maiden deceived her entire life."

Li Xuan's gaze was calm as he spoke softly. "Since the Divine Realm does not want you, then from this day onward, you belong to my Longevity Sect."

The Sky Screen's golden light gradually faded. A desolate wind swept across the continent, and countless people sighed over Qian Renxue's tragic fate.

Just as everyone's emotions sank, a black preview abruptly branded itself across the sky.

[Next episode preview: The curse of the Clear Sky Hammer.]

[The truth behind Tang Chen's disappearance, and the gods' prison within Slaughter City!]

Slaughter City, Tang Chen's disappearance, the Clear Sky Hammer's curse.

Those twelve short words instantly drew the attention of the entire continent.

Bibi Dong's violet eyes narrowed slightly, Tang Hao's body trembled, and Bo Saixi looked into the distance.

The dark past of the third Peerless Douluo, buried for many years, was about to be revealed to the world.

Li Xuan raised his head toward Slaughter City, a cold curve slowly blooming across his lips.

"Tang Chen, you have been trapped for a hundred years. It is time for you to see daylight again."
