Xu Zi drew the Angel Holy Sword again under Qian Daoliu’s scrutiny and secured the Angel Token, which could command the Angel Legion or call on Qian Daoliu’s aid.

• She Long confirmed Xu Zi had mastered both forms of Tool-Beast Conversion and promised to teach him its ultimate mystery.

Snake Lance Douluo explained his vision of turning natural phenomena into weapons and revealed that he hoped Xu Zi would develop it as the third form of “Tool-Beast Conversion.” Xu Zi recognized that his Purple Sun Martial Soul and Martial Soul Materialization technique made him suited to pursue the idea, and Snake Lance Douluo left him to realize it.

• As Zi’s consciousness strengthened and a mental storm swept through the temple, Xu Zi worried she might possess him.

Xu Zi watched Zi absorb the Angel Temple’s accumulated power of faith, then accepted her Angel Divine Power baptism to strengthen his Purple Sun Martial Soul and Soul Rings. As his rings grew older and denser with Soul Power, he realized they might soon feed their power back to him and rapidly advance his cultivation.

• Zi absorbed the power of faith in the Angel inheritance realm until the supply was nearly exhausted, alarming Qian Daoliu and the six Enshrined in the Worship Hall.

• Zi channeled platinum Angel Divine Power from the Angel Holy Sword into Xu Zi’s Purple Sun Martial Soul, tempering his four Soul Rings and rapidly increasing their ages and Soul Power.
• Xu Zi realized that once the strengthened Soul Rings returned to his body, their Soul Power could feed back to him and accelerate his cultivation.

Zi stopped tempering Xu Zi’s Soul Rings before the Angel Divine Power ran out, but his Purple Sun Martial Soul then strengthened his body and pushed his cultivation to rank 50. Xu Zi crossed the threshold into ultimate light and learned from Zi that he would need to pursue fuller ultimate light and ultimate holiness, while Zi again urged him to visit the Dragon Tomb.

• Zi withdrew the Angel Holy Sword, ending the tempering after Xu Zi’s four Soul Rings had deepened in color, and refused to spend more Angel Divine Power on them.
• Zi told Xu Zi she could upgrade his first four Soul Rings with her divine power at the Dragon Tomb, and Xu Zi accepted the suggestion despite suspecting she was steering him there.
• Xu Zi returned the Purple Sun Martial Soul to his body, raising his Soul Ring qualities and enduring its Destruction Light Fire as it tempered him.
• Xu Zi’s Soul Power rose from rank 43 to rank 50, and his Purple Sun Martial Soul broke through the barrier to attain ultimate light.

• Xu Zi agreed to visit the Dragon Tomb and asked Zi whether she planned to return to his Martial Soul or remain in the Angel God Statue.

Disguised as the Angel God, Zi instructed Spirit Hall’s Worshippers to find a Dragon Scale Fruit and prepare the latest Six-Winged Angel for inheritance, then bestowed the Angel Holy Sword on Xu Zi to safeguard.

The crowd believed the Angel God had returned to the Divine Realm, while Xu Zi was left with the attention and expectations surrounding his journey to the Dragon Tomb.

• Zi descended through the Angel God Statue and spread faint Holy Light and Fire over the believers gathered in Martial Soul Holy City.

• Zi declared that she entrusted everything to Xu Zi, and he raised the Angel Holy Sword and promised not to fail her trust.
• Zi positioned Xu Zi’s Purple Sun behind the statue’s wings, creating an image of an angel bearing a great sun, and Qian Daoliu supported the vision.
• Zi addressed the believers and disappeared in purple light, leaving the Angel God Statue turned to stone as the crowd mourned her departure.

Xu Zi advanced his Purple Demon Eye to its first realm, Overview, and learned that the Angel Holy Sword contained a divine skill suited to his Sun Martial Soul. Zi explained that he could study the skill by activating the sword and gathering its information while she suppressed its sacred attribute.

• Ling Yuan Douluo left Xu Zi’s residence after reflecting on how quickly he was improving and warning that the Pope would react to the Angel God’s appearance.
• Xu Zi examined the Angel Holy Sword and heard Zi reveal that it contained a divine skill, but she told him he needed to reach the first realm of Purple Demon Eye before he could learn it.
• Xu Zi cultivated through the night until natural dawn filled the remaining pale centers of his pupils, bringing his Purple Demon Eye to Overview.

Xu Zi used the Angel Holy Sword to uncover the Angel God’s six-level Great Sun Angel divine skill, including Ten Thousand Suns Over the Heavens. As he prepared to meet Bibi Dong at Pope Hall, Huang Ying asked him to face Jin Yu, who had returned to challenge him.

• Xu Zi used his Purple Demon Eye and spiritual power to read the Angel Holy Sword’s memories, witnessing the Angel God unleash Ten Thousand Suns Over the Heavens.
• Xu Zi learned that Great Sun Angel combined the Sun God’s power with the Angel God’s ability to create countless copies, and vowed not to let Tang San and Qian Renxue waste the divine inheritance again.
• A bishop told Xu Zi that Bibi Dong had arranged a residence for him in Pope Hall and summoned him to meet her, so Xu Zi agreed to go up the mountain.
• Huang Ying told Xu Zi that her cousin Jin Yu had left seclusion and wanted revenge for Xu Zi’s earlier punches.
• Xu Zi learned that Golden Crocodile Douluo had sent Jin Yu with the ten-thousand-year Golden Crocodile’s corpse and intended Xu Zi to teach him another lesson, so Xu Zi asked Huang Ying to lead the way.
