Although everyone disagreed with Qi Ling's plan to risk her life, Qi Ling still decided to go and investigate. Her reasoning was simple: she was the strongest among them, and if danger arose, she would be the easiest to escape.
After telling everyone to wait where they were, Qi Ling walked alone into Heaven Dou City. Upon entering the city gate, she was surprised to find that there was indeed no one there, as if it were an empty city.
Xue Qinghe announced to the world that he would ascend the throne as emperor today. Whether he was truly so arrogant or had a conspiracy waiting for Qi Ling, he could not simply leave like this. Therefore, there must be something strange about this city.
Walking down the streets of Heaven Dou City, Qi Ling still couldn't see anyone. So he headed straight for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, where Xue Qinghe would definitely be if he insisted on ascending the throne.
As expected, after Qi Ling arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, she saw Xue Qinghe all alone at the main gate of the palace.
" Qi Ling, you've finally come." Xue Qinghe, dressed in magnificent robes, already acting like a king, said to Qi Ling with an arrogant air, "Did you come here specifically to attend my coronation ceremony and congratulate me on becoming king?"
"Do you think that's possible?" Qi Ling laughed. " Xue Qinghe, in principle, we have no direct conflict. I have no intention of becoming emperor, but I cannot allow someone like you to become emperor. That would be an unbearable disaster for the people of the world."
"So, I'm here today to stop you. Don't bother trying to win me over. If you have any tricks up your sleeve, just use them!"
Xue Qinghe sighed and said, "What a pity. I thought we were the same kind of people, but it seems I was wrong. Qi Ling, you are much weaker than I thought!"
"The common people are like weeds to me. What do they matter to me if I can become a god? Qi Ling, you can't gain more if you can't let go of everything!"
"I told you to stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense, why won't you listen?" Qi Ling said, "Words won't work on me, if you want to convince me, knock me down with your fists!"
"Hmph, very well, since that's the case, then let's settle things with strength." Xue Qinghe suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Speaking of which, Qi Ling, you probably haven't seen my Martial Soul yet, have you?"
"Huh? Isn't your Martial Soul the Swan Martial Soul of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family?" Qi Ling asked, because Xue Qinghe's identity hadn't been replaced, so Qi Ling assumed that his Martial Soul hadn't changed either.
"Hahaha, you're so funny! How could someone with Martial Soul like that possibly become an existence beyond this world!" Xue Qinghe laughed loudly. " Qi Ling, I know. Your Martial Soul are the Divine Dragon Emperor and the Blood Devil Emperor. You are the chosen one."
"But now I'm going to let you know that you're not the only one chosen! Let me show you my Martial Soul Possession Martial Soul: Chaos Evil Dragon!"
Immediately, a Soul Imprint lit up on Xue Qinghe's forehead, reflecting a slender dragon-shaped pattern in the eerie gray light.
At this moment, after Xue Qinghe was Martial Soul Possession, his whole body underwent tremendous changes. His eyes became long and narrow pupils like those of a cold-blooded animal, and black scales grew on both sides of his eyes. At the same time, two sharp gray horns grew on the top of his head, and his hair also turned into a very special material.
More importantly, an ominous aura emanated from Xue Qinghe, making people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if they were being stared at by some emotionless creature.
As his Martial Soul was summoned, a total of nine Soul Ring appeared around his body, and the three outermost Soul Ring were all bright red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Seeing Xue Qinghe's Martial Soul and Soul Ring combination, Qi Ling couldn't help but frown. Xue Qinghe should have just entered the Titled Douluo realm not long ago, and his Soul Power Level was not high.
If they were ordinary Titled Douluo, Qi Ling probably wouldn't even bother to glance at them. But Xue Qinghe was different, because his Martial Soul was one of the Eight Great Demonic Souls, and it was the only dragon-shaped Martial Soul among the Eight Great Demonic Souls.
"Hehehe, Qi Ling, we are both chosen ones, but unlike me, you were chosen by both gods and demons!" Xue Qinghe laughed. "Gods and demons coexisting, do you think you have that ability?"
"Nonsense, are you blind? Aren't I standing right in front of you right now?" Qi Ling said.
"Hahaha, you have no idea what this means. Some powers don't belong to you just because you possess them!" Xue Qinghe laughed. "Perfect, Qi Ling, as the dragon-shaped Martial Soul of the Divine Soul and Demonic Soul respectively, let's settle this once and for all!"
Seeing Xue Qinghe's sinister and awe-inspiring appearance, Qi Ling's Soul Imprint on her right hand lit up. With the arrival of the Divine Dragon Emperor, Qi Ling said to Xue Qinghe, " Xue Qinghe, don't joke around. Can something like that be called a dragon? It should be a snake!"
Subsequently, the Divine Dragon Phantom descended from the sky and entered Qi Ling's body. After Qi Ling absorbed the power of the Divine Dragon, Qi Ling form underwent certain changes when her Martial Soul Possession.
The most noticeable change is that after the Martial Soul Possession, his short black hair will turn into a brilliant gold and extend to his shoulders. At the same time, a pair of majestic dragon horns will grow on his forehead.
At the same time, his eyes will also turn golden. The Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils will be continuously activated during the period when his Martial Soul Possession, but it will not cause him any burden on his Soul Power.
Compared to Xue Qinghe's Chaos Evil Dragon, the two were completely opposite forces, one righteous and one evil. The powerful aura emanating from them made the sky seem to be split in two.
As their momentum reached its peak, the two suddenly moved simultaneously, their figures vanishing from their original positions in an instant. When they reappeared, their fists had already collided.
What was expected to be a close contest turned into a disaster when Xue Qinghe was instantly sent flying by Qi Ling! In the clash of power, Xue Qinghe had clearly lost to Qi Ling.
"Damn it, the pinnacle of power, the Divine Dragon Emperor truly lives up to his name!" Xue Qinghe muttered helplessly to himself as he was being sent flying. "Even with a difference of two Soul Ring, is it really impossible to contend with him in terms of power?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Ling naturally continued to pursue Xue Qinghe. However, as Xue Qinghe flew backward, dozens of gray rays suddenly shot out from behind him.
The current opportunity was a perfect chance to pursue Xue Qinghe, but Qi Ling sensed a sense of crisis from those gray rays, so she immediately stopped attacking and dodged Xue Qinghe's attack.
The gray rays disappeared immediately upon contact with the ground, but Qi Ling keenly noticed that a plant hit by the rays instantly lost its life and became withered and decayed.
