[Ding, host detected inside the Awakening Hall. Will you sign in?]
The system voice rang out, and Qian Xunzong chanted inwardly, Sign in.
[Ding, sign-in successful. Reward: one Super Evolution of martial soul!]
[First sign-in detected. Bonus reward: second martial soul.]
Well now, the system really knows how to work things. Not bad, not bad, a promising lad indeed.
[Thank you for the praise, host~]
As the voice faded, the awakening array suddenly erupted with a fierce surge of golden energy that soared straight into the sky. Moments later, the phantom of a Six-Winged Angel slowly manifested behind Qian Xunzong:
Three pairs of pristine white wings unfolded in succession, every single feather shimmering with a pale golden, sacred luster. The angel's face was wreathed in a soft halo, radiating an aura of majesty, holiness, and inviolability.
Seeing this scene from his high seat, Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction. "The Six-Winged Angel. Good. Very good."
Golden Crocodile at his side was equally pleased. As the hereditary martial soul of the Qian Family, the Six-Winged Angel was naturally immensely powerful. One could say it was the premier martial soul on the mainland, hailed alongside Sea God Island's Sea God Martial Soul as the two divine-level martial souls. Every single one of its possessors was an apex powerhouse who bestrode the mainland; the current Qian Xunji, Pope, and Grand Pontiff Elder all wielded the Six-Winged Angel martial soul.
Everyone present started in shock, and then the Six-Winged Angel behind Qian Xunzong completely shattered, dissolving into specks of starlight.
"Zong'er!"
This turn of events happened far too fast for anyone to react. The figures of Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile instantly materialized in front of Qian Xunzong, and just as they were about to reach him,
suddenly, a golden light flashed in Qian Xunzong's eyes, followed by a violent pillar of golden light—far surpassing the previous one—that shot into the heavens, actually forcing the two of them back a step. Azure Luan was also driven back several paces.
Yet none of them had the leisure to mind such details at the moment, keeping their eyes fixed entirely on the scene before them.
Golden dust filled the sky over the palace dome, scattering like a rain of stars. An aura even more sacred and majestic than the former Six-Winged Angel welled forth, sweeping instantly across the entire hall—no, not just the hall, but the entire Spirit City.
That golden pillar of light struck straight into the firmament, forming a gigantic golden vortex. Immediately afterward, countless surrounding luminous energies converged to form a sacred figure in midair.
Radiant holy light enveloped his entire body, making him resemble a moving sun that radiated an unendurable majesty. He wore divine armor edged in gilded gold, engraved with intricate judgment divine characters across its plates; every single line flowed with the power to purify all things.
The dazzling golden wings unfolded behind him were distinct down to their roots, their edges shimmering with flowing light. As they flapped, they whipped up sacred gales that caused the darkness to retreat wherever they passed. The crown resting upon his head bore a gemstone embedded in its center, which perpetually radiated the pressure of judgment. He grasped a Judgment Sword, its blade reflecting the good and evil of the mortal world. With a mere gentle wave, it could cleave the chaos, displaying an unrivaled, magnificent momentum.
"This..." Qian Daoliu watched the figure in the air, his eyes filled with astonishment.
At that moment, the Angel God Statue inside the towering Worship Hall at the back mountain of Spirit Hall burst into a beam of light. Several figures immediately flew out from the hall, arriving above the Awakening Hall to gaze at the shocking spectacle.
At their head was a man with long golden hair, whose appearance bore a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Qian Daoliu. A sacred, bright aura emanated from his entire body. As he looked at the figure in the sky, he muttered:
"The aura of this figure causes my Six-Winged Angel to feel submission, and it has actually made the Angel God Statue resonate!"
"Father!" Seeing the newcomer, Qian Daoliu hurriedly bowed in salute.
"We pay respects to the Grand Pontiff Elder!" The rest of the crowd likewise knelt and saluted in unison.
Indeed, the newcomer was none other than the current Grand Pontiff Elder of Spirit Hall and the strongest double-flowered red pole of Spirit Hall—Qian Xichen.
"Is this Zong'er awakening his martial soul?" Qian Xichen looked at Qian Xunzong in the center of the light pillar and inquired.
"Yes, Father. Zong'er..."
Just as Qian Daoliu prepared to say more, the strange phenomenon over the skies of Spirit City abruptly shifted once again.
A massive fissure split the high clouds. From within that crack, a throne forged of platinum and diamond slowly materialized. Every armrest of the throne was carved with complex divine patterns, and upon the backrest at the summit, a divine seal radiating endless light rotated slowly. That vast, boundless aura compelled everyone present to involuntarily prostrate themselves in worship.
"Could this be... Twin Martial Souls?!"
Golden light formed a series of steps above the throne. Qian Xunzong's body floated upward, merging with the figure in the sky, and then stepped onto the stairs. With every step he took, a divine pattern beneath his feet lit up, and the entire throne emitted a low hum in response. When he reached the summit of the throne, the backrest slowly unfolded to reveal the central seat.
Qian Xunzong seated himself slowly, the golden wings suspended behind him gently blanketing both sides of the throne. The emblem atop the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation suddenly erupted with boundless light, enshrouding the entirety of Spirit City. Amidst that light, countless divine patterns spread outward from the throne, connecting with the radiance around Qian Xunzong to form a sacred and majestic tableau.
At that moment within Spirit City, commoners and soul masters alike involuntarily prostrated themselves in worship. Even those apex Douluo of Spirit Hall, and even Qian Xichen—a Peerless Douluo—could not suppress the urge to do the same.
"What manner of powerful martial soul has Zong'er awakened..."
This strange phenomenon persisted for some ten breaths before gradually fading away. Qian Xunzong's figure descended slowly as the two martial souls returned within his body.
At that moment, Qian Xunzong opened the system panel to inspect it.
Host: Qian Xunzong Identity: Fourteenth-generation descendant of Spirit Hall's Qian Family. Age: Six years old Martial Souls: Judgment Deity (Transcendent Divine-level), Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation (Transcendent Divine-level). Rank: Rank Thirty. Soul Rings: None Soul Bones: None System Space: None
Holy cow, it's actually the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation!
As a veteran bookworm, Qian Xunzong had naturally read the book "Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation", wherein all six thrones were immensely powerful, and the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation in particular was a transcendent divine artifact—the very seat of the Creator God, its might self-evident.
Not bad, System, you even dug up the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Awesome, thumbs up for you!
[Many thanks for the praise, host~]
As for his other martial soul, it was the Judgment Deity—born from the super-evolution of the Six-Winged Angel. It was likewise a transcendent divine-level martial soul.
The Judgment Deity possessed three ultimate attributes: sacredness, brightness, and divine flame. Moreover, it possessed the purifying power to immunize against all evils, as well as the judgmental power to punish sins. One could say it was the bane of all evil spirits and the super-evolved version of the Six-Winged Angel.
Simultaneously, it had bestowed upon Qian Xunzong an innate rank-thirty soul power. He needed only to absorb three soul rings to reach the Soul Elder realm.
