"In that case, let's fight."
Qian Daoliu did not try to dissuade him. He merely said, "This place is too close to Spirit City. Let's fight in the Ten-Thousand-Meter High Sky."
"Fine."
Du Busi nodded in agreement.
Two figures shot into the sky, pierced the clouds, and stopped in the Ten-Thousand-Meter High Sky.
Beneath their feet churned a sea of clouds. Around them stretched the boundless, vast sky, while Spirit City had already dwindled to a tiny black dot on the ground.
"The ancestor of Spirit Hall was the Angel God, and I am this generation's high priest of the Angel God. I can draw upon a sliver of divine power."
Qian Daoliu closed his eyes, and an extremely faint golden pattern of light appeared between his brows.
Angel divine power!
Compared to soul power, divine power represented a qualitative leap, a rise and sublimation to another level.
The gulf between the two was like a heavenly chasm. The instant this divine power appeared, the entire sky seemed to be pressed lower.
Golden light surged from his body and merged with the phantom of the Six-Winged Angel behind him.
At that moment.
Qian Daoliu's aura underwent a qualitative change!
His soul power had not changed, but angel divine power now flowed within him, lending a divine quality to every strand of his strength.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Angel True Body!"
A hundred-meter-tall Six-Winged Angel appeared above the clouds, its six wings spread wide in dazzling radiance.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Body True Body!"
Watching him, Du Busi released his own Martial Soul Avatar as well.
The martial soul phantom behind him solidified into a dark green giant a hundred zhang tall, its entire body covered in a deep green sheen.
Boom!
The two giants faced off in the Ten-Thousand-Meter High Sky, their clashing auras shredding the clouds.
The next instant.
Both moved at once. The golden Angel Holy Sword collided with a dark green fist.
After Qian Daoliu borrowed angel divine power, the might of every sword strike soared. A single slash drove Du Busi back several steps.
"That feels good! Now that's power!"
Du Busi glanced at the bloody mark on his arm, then raised his head to look at Qian Daoliu. He did not shrink back in the slightest; only an even fiercer fighting spirit filled his eyes.
He charged again, punching again and again, every blow carrying poisonous power and spatial vibration.
After several exchanges, Du Busi was forced to retreat repeatedly, yet the smile on his face only deepened as he entered a state of exhilaration.
"Again!!"
Du Busi laughed loudly. As his words fell, golden radiance erupted from him.
Golden-level second awakening!
Threefold amplification!
A thick golden halo abruptly enveloped his dark green Martial Soul Avatar, and a layer of golden radiance flowed across his body.
Dark green and gold mingled, and his aura instantly soared.
"What... what move is this?"
Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted. Such an outrageous amplification was practically like a divine skill.
"Hahaha!"
"This is the Secret Art created by generations of ancestors of our Body Sect-martial soul second awakening!"
Laughing, Du Busi stepped forward and threw a punch wrapped in dark green poisonous mist and spatial vibration power. Qian Daoliu raised his sword to block, only to be sent sliding back several zhang by that force.
Du Busi did not pursue him. He stood where he was, his voice carrying an irrepressible excitement.
"Again!"
The two clashed once more, even more fiercely than before.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Angel's Roar!"
Qian Daoliu abruptly unleashed his strength. His Six-Winged Angel True Body closed in on Du Busi, and a roar imbued with a holy Spiritual Shock exploded right in his face.
Du Busi's consciousness abruptly stalled, leaving him sluggish for half an instant.
Seizing the opening, Qian Daoliu swept the Angel Holy Sword across. Golden sword light wrapped in divine power slashed straight at Du Busi's chest.
Du Busi regained his senses and crossed his arms to block, his entire body sliding back ten zhang.
"Not bad! That strike had some strength!"
Du Busi lowered his head to glance at the bleeding wound on his chest and grinned.
He stepped forward, his figure moving like lightning.
He threw a punch, its edge wrapped in poisonous mist and spatial vibration, and collided with the Angel Holy Sword. Qian Daoliu was jolted back several steps.
"Unity of Heaven and Man!!"
Du Busi shouted and entered a state of unity of heaven and man. The surrounding heaven and earth essence gathered around his fist, making its power even more terrifying.
Qian Daoliu raised his sword to block. The golden Angel Holy Sword collided repeatedly with the dark green fist.
Rumble-
An unbroken succession of explosive booms erupted in the Ten-Thousand-Meter High Sky.
Though angel divine power was strong, Qian Daoliu could only borrow a limited amount in the Ten-Thousand-Meter High Sky, far less than he could within the Worship Hall.
With the threefold amplification of his golden-level second awakening, Du Busi was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.
In fact, he even seemed to hold a slight edge!
Moreover,
Du Busi possessed yin-yang complementary dual soul cores. Poisonous power and spatial power overlapped and cycled, supplying him with an endless stream of energy.
In terms of endurance, he left Qian Daoliu eight streets behind!
In the blink of an eye,
The two had exchanged dozens of blows.
Qian Daoliu found himself struggling more and more. He swept his sword across, and golden sword light swelled.
But this time, Du Busi dodged.
And in that instant, he pinpointed the opening left after Qian Daoliu's strike!
The poison soul core within Du Busi abruptly spun faster. He brought his hands together sharply, and boundless Poison Attribute soul power erupted.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Death Banquet!"
With Du Busi at its center, the sky within a hundred-zhang radius abruptly turned dark green.
Countless dark green poisonous rays burst from his body, spreading out to blanket the sky and forming a poisonous domain.
Those poisonous rays condensed in the air into countless tendrils and fist shadows.
Shrouded by the poisonous domain, Qian Daoliu faced attacks from dozens of poisonous rays every time he swung his sword. His golden sword light grew dimmer and dimmer under the poisonous mist's corrosion.
The drain imposed by Death Banquet was ravenously devouring his divine power, making each sword strike more strenuous than the last!
Du Busi stood at the center of the poisonous domain, watching Qian Daoliu struggle to fend off attacks from all sides within the mist.
He abruptly drew both hands inward, and the raging poisonous domain began to contract.
"Angel Domain!"
A dazzling golden halo abruptly erupted around Qian Daoliu, forcing the dark green poisonous mist back several zhang.
Immediately afterward, he raised his sword toward the sky.
"Angel Holy Light!"
A pure golden pillar of light erupted from the chest of his Angel True Body, shooting straight into the heavens.
An enormous rift tore through the center of the dark green poisonous domain. Light pierced the poisonous mist, breaking open a gap in Death Banquet.
Without pausing, Qian Daoliu's Angel True Body stepped forward and charged out through that rift.
Du Busi seized the moment.
As Qian Daoliu charged out of the poisonous domain, he crossed through space and appeared before him.
He threw a punch, wrapped in the triple layering of poisonous power, spatial vibration, and heaven and earth essence, and smashed it into Qian Daoliu's chest.
Boom-!!
Qian Daoliu hurtled backward, the Angel Holy Sword nearly flying from his grasp. He slid several dozen zhang through the air before steadying himself, his sword hand trembling slightly.
"Truly unbelievable!"
Qian Daoliu steadied himself and looked at Du Busi, a trace of admiration in his voice.
"We are both rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluos, yet even after borrowing angel divine power, I failed to gain the slightest advantage. Instead, I suffered setback after setback."
Du Busi stood proudly a hundred zhang away.
"Ready to admit defeat?"
"No."
Qian Daoliu shook his head. "I still have one final move."
"Then bring it on!"
Du Busi was brimming with confidence, his fighting spirit soaring into the sky.
