As Yang Podi stepped into Spirit City, his expression became more serious and solemn than ever before.
Yang Podi has always held Spirit City in high regard and attached great importance to it, especially Qian Daoliu, Yang Podi he values even more than Bo Saixi.
In fact, based on Yang Podi's past encounters with Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen, among these three Peerless Douluo of that time, if none of them used Divine Power, Tang Chen's combat strength was probably the strongest, but Qian Daoliu was the most respectable and also the most troublesome of the three.
Theoretically speaking, the three are very close in strength. Tang Chen is known as Invincible on Land, but he is still lacking in speed and flight. Bo Saixi is known as Invincible in the Sea, and the Sea God Martial Soul can only exert its greatest power in the ocean. Although Qian Daoliu is known as Invincible in the Sky, he has not made full use of the advantages of the sky.
In particular, Qian Daoliu's series of measures can be described as the true gravedigger of the Spirit Hall. In the original work, many people said that Qian Daoliu was a cowardly person, but after Yang Podi had several interactions with Qian Daoliu, he felt that he was more like a pitiful person.
Qian Daoliu Bo Saixi for half his life, but his love was unrequited. Because of his so-called promise, he did not take action against the Clear Sky Sect, which ultimately led to the snake surviving and brought disaster to the Spirit Hall. Moreover, Qian Daoliu was indecisive among his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, and watched his son die tragically and his mother and daughter kill each other. From beginning to end, he did not take action even once except for the sacrifice.
In particular, Spirit City is known as the holy land of the Soul Master World, accumulating countless Power of Faith. This power is probably far beyond everyone's imagination, otherwise there would be no way for Qian Renxue to become a god so quickly.
After entering Spirit City, Yang Podi took out a visiting card from his person, waved it casually into the distance, and then found a hotel to rest alone.
Douluo Hall, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the Great Enshrined seemed to sense the message and all came to Qian Daoliu's side.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu held the visiting card in his hand, his expression much more serious than before.
The invitation was very simple, consisting of only one sentence. "Three days from now, at the summit of Spirit City, I invite you to a battle!"
Upon seeing the invitation, everyone was shocked and furious. They never expected that Yang Podi would dare to challenge Qian Daoliu, especially in Spirit City. This was something that hadn't happened in over a hundred years; even the great battle between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu hadn't taken place in Spirit City.
Upon seeing the challenge, Qian Renxue's face showed shock and anger. "Grandpa, what exactly does Yang Podi mean? Isn't he a bit too audacious? I'm going to find him right now."
Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice, " Xiao Xue, calm down. Yang Podi would never do something meaningless; he probably has other motives."
The other Great Enshrined all expressed their opinions, saying that Yang Podi was showing contempt for the Angel Inheritance and that they must be suppressed together. Bibi Dong, stood alone to the side, remaining silent.
Three days passed in a flash. Yang Podi spent three days recuperating and meditating in Spirit City, preparing for this crucial battle.
Early that morning, Yang Podi began to slowly walk towards the Douluo Hall, which was also the destination of this challenge.
Yang Podi's journey was unimpeded. When he arrived at the Douluo Hall, all the elders and retainers of the Spirit Hall Empire were surprisingly present, though they all looked very serious. Even Bibi Dong had a rare dark expression on her face.
This time, Qian Daoliu looked more solemn and dignified than ever before, wearing a suit of gilded armor and carrying the Angel God Sword on his back. His aura seemed to have reached its peak.
Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, "Now that you're here, could you tell me why you challenged me?"
Yang Podi had his eyes tightly closed, but suddenly opened them, his gaze filled with boundless longing. "To challenge you, the strongest person on the Douluo Continent, to reach a higher level."
At this moment, Yang Podi began to understand the purpose of the Asura God's test: to become a god, especially to become the Asura God, one must constantly challenge stronger people and must have an Invincible Under Heaven aura. Becoming a god is a lonely path, but it is also an invincible path, especially for the Asura God who is Slaughter.
Qian Daoliu seemed to understand something, and nodded with a smile, "This is not bad either. I have spent my whole life pursuing godhood without any hope, so it's not bad to witness the rise of a god now."
"I am the High Priest of the Angel Clan, representing the glory of the Angel Clan millennia-long heritage. I accept your challenge. I may die, but I will never lose."
As Qian Daoliu finished speaking, a massive Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appeared, along with eight black and one red Soul Ring.
Yang Podi also became solemn, and a Soul Breaking Spear instantly appeared in his hand, while his body was Soul Ring Configuration.
Even though everyone present already knew about Yang Podi's Soul Ring Configuration, they were still terrified every time they saw it.
At this moment, Yang Podi took the initiative to strike, gripping the Soul Breaking Spear with both hands and thrusting it forcefully. This thrust seemed ordinary, but it appeared to contain boundless destructive power. The sharp sound seemed to pierce through all the air, and it was mixed with bursts of tiger roars and dragon cries.
Qian Daoliu showed no weakness. His enormous Six-Winged Angel seemed to blot out the sky, and a huge fist smashed down, instantly blocking Yang Podi's Soul Breaking Spear.
With just one move, Yang Podi broke through Qian Daoliu's attack and even the Soul Power in Qian Daoliu's palm. Qian Daoliu was knocked back five meters.
Qian Daoliu suddenly burst into laughter. "Good, very good! In such a short time, your strength has increased considerably, young friend."
Yang Podi's face was unusually serious. "Senior Qian Daoliu, you'd better use the Angel Holy Sword sooner rather than later. It will be difficult for you to defeat me with just Soul Power and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul."
"Young friend, you're right. In terms of using Tool Martial Soul, you've far surpassed Tang Chen. Indeed, you're beyond my ability to handle with my bare hands. Moreover, your Soul Breaking Spear has been forged through countless trials and tribulations, making it comparable to a divine weapon."
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he drew the Angel Holy Sword and slashed it. A shocking golden sword aura appeared to split the heavens and earth. In terms of swordsmanship alone, it was probably even stronger than Sword Douluo. The golden light was probably a combination of Divine Power and sword aura.
Seeing Yang Podi gripped his spear with both hands and thrust it forward fiercely. A golden spear light flew directly from the blade of the Soul Breaking Spear, seemingly capable of piercing through everything.
The sword energy and the spear light collided, or rather, it was two Divine Power colliding, and the entire space seemed to echo with tearing sounds.
The plaza that was originally the largest for the two of them began to collapse, and a large crater was created by the crisscrossing sword energy and spear light.
