Outside Help Arrives

Tang Hao pushed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to its limit, and with the increasing gravitational and repulsive interference from the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, the King of Slaughter was suddenly at a disadvantage.

"Xingyu, it seems like Dad and Senior Wolf Emperor can beat him. Is it necessary to ask for outside help?" Tang San asked, having also sensed the attraction and repulsion.

"It's necessary. While we can suppress it temporarily, we can't purify it. And don't underestimate the King of Slaughter; he hasn't used his full power yet."

The King of Slaughter's performance seemed to prove this statement. As the next hammer blow came, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand transformed into a jet-black sword, exuding an extreme aura of slaughter.

In terms of sheer force, it actually overwhelmed the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Asura Demonic Sword.

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he quickly created a repulsive force between the hammer and the sword to separate the two.

Even so, the repulsive force only hindered the Asura Demonic Sword for a moment.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Tang Hao retreated repeatedly. He clearly felt that if the two had collided during that attack, he would have been the one to lose.

"This is... a divine artifact?" The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor stared at the sword.

"You actually managed to push me to this point!" the King of Slaughter said angrily. "Now the conditions have changed. Hand over the antidote, then you can fight each other out, and I might spare the last survivor!"

But after he finished speaking, he didn't attack again; instead, he looked up at the sky.

"Ah--" A painful roar escaped his throat, and black, malevolent energy surged wildly outwards. "So familiar... such a disgusting aura... An angel? Hahaha, I'll, I'll kill you!"

The King of Slaughter ignored the others, suddenly spread his bat wings, and soared into the sky.

Just then, a majestic and sacred voice descended from the sky. "Angel Domain."

A golden ripple spread out, as if the entire sky was coated with a layer of shimmering gold.

The black, malevolent energy left behind by the King of Slaughter spontaneously combusted.

"The foreign aid has arrived." Wang Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Hao and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor both turned to look at him at the same time.

Tang Hao frowned. "Who is the outside help you found?!" He sensed the presence of someone who had once beaten him up.

"It's probably, maybe, perhaps it's Qian Daoliu, who is enshrined in the Spirit Hall," Wang Xingyu said.

One week ago.

Wang Xingyu held a properly sized "Tian" (天) character token in his hand.

This was given to Xue Qinghe when he first met the three of them. With this token, they could request an audience at any time.

In Heaven Dou City, there is a simple-looking two-story building with elegant furnishings inside. Inside a private room on the second floor.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Wang Xingyu said with his usual smile.

"No need for such formalities, Mr. Wang Xingyu, please have a seat," Xue Qinghe said politely.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Xingyu and Xue Qinghe each sat on one side of the table.

"Wang Xingyu, it's been a long time, hasn't it? It's been four years. The last time we met was at the Soul Master Tournament finals. You were truly dazzling then, winning the championship against the Spirit Hall and bringing glory to our Heaven Dou."

Xue Qinghe laughed, "Moreover, the legendary Clear Sky Douluo is actually Tang San's father, which is truly astonishing."

"You flatter me, Your Highness. It's also thanks to Your Highness that the Spirit Hall's wanted posters were rendered useless, saving us a lot of trouble."

"Hahaha, the mere Spirit Hall is nothing to my Heaven Dou. May I ask what brings you here? Do you wish to join the royal family?" Xue Qinghe clearly hadn't given up on recruiting him.

Wang Xingyu shook his head. "It's not about that. I need His Highness the Crown Prince to help me make a connection. I want the Spirit Hall to help me purify someone."

"Oh?" Xue Qinghe didn't refuse immediately, but said, "I'm not sure I have that much ability. After all, our relationship with the Spirit Hall isn't that good, so I can only try."

"No, Your Highness, there is a reward," Wang Xingyu said. "And the Spirit Hall will most likely be unable to refuse this reward."

These words piqued Xue Qinghe's curiosity even more. "What is the reward? Could you tell me? If it's substantial, I'm willing to help."

"Of course, Your Highness," Wang Xingyu said unhurriedly. "Over the past four years, I have traveled far and wide, exploring many secret realms. One of these realms contains clues to achieving godhood at level one hundred."

"Level 100 to become a god?" Xue Qinghe repeated in surprise.

Wang Xingyu found the other person's surprised expression somewhat amusing.

The two are now showcasing their acting skills.

Unfortunately, I haven't reached level 70 yet, so I can't use the Divine Power given by the Goddess of Life.

Pulling a level 70 opponent into the Soul Battlefield will transform their Martial Soul into your own, proving that level 70 brings about a qualitative change in Martial Soul and spirit.

I've tried to force myself to level up to 70 over the past few months, but I still can't use the Divine Power.

However, the King of Slaughter needs Divine Power to purify him, or at least Level 99 Limit Douluo of the same level.

Therefore, there is only one person who meets the requirements— Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall.

"What clues did you find about achieving godhood at level 100? Could you elaborate?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"There aren't many specific clues. It's just that some gods will give tests, and as long as you pass the test, you can become a god. From what I've learned, the Ninth Trial usually involves a Great Enshrined offering."

If the Spirit Hall still possesses the legacy of the Angel God's trials, then when the Ninth Trial begins, Great Enshrined to the Angel God will most likely be made. However, I don't know exactly who it is; I only know from some rumors that it's named Qian Daoliu.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression of surprise was no longer feigned.

However, as expected of someone who had been undercover for so long, it wasn't long before Wang Xingyu observed that Xue Qinghe had already hidden this emotion.

"I wonder if that ruin still exists today?"

Wang Xingyu shook his head. "It's already destroyed. It seems its mission will be complete once one person finishes exploring it."

"That's a real pity," Xue Qinghe sighed. "But thank you nonetheless for sharing so much information. I just wonder what your terms for the exchange were?"

Wang Xingyu did not answer, but instead asked, "Your Highness, are you familiar with this person Qian Daoliu?"

"I don't know much about it; I've only seen some of it in previous records."

"Your Highness, does Qian Daoliu have a beard or not? Could you please tell me?"

Wang Xingyu observed that this world seems to be influenced by anime, comics, and novels.

As for Qian Daoliu, his characterization in the anime and novel is basically the same: he is mostly upright and trustworthy, while in the manga he is more arrogant and domineering.

As for how to tell, just look for the presence or absence of a beard.

"This..." Xue Qinghe pondered for a moment, then said, "As far as I know, there isn't one."

That doesn't look like a comic book.

Wang Xingyu raised his eyes. "My condition is that I can keep the High Priest alive during the Ninth Trial."

"What?" Xue Qinghe was taken aback, clearly not understanding.

"Your Highness, I can keep the High Priest alive during the Ninth Trial of the God Trial, when he performs the sacrifice. Of course, that's all I can do."

My Soul Skill can restore Soul Power, life force, Spiritual Power, and Soul Force.

Moreover, I seem to have received some inheritance within that ruin, but my current level is too low to use it.

Wang Xingyu looked regretful, "It's not a god-level inheritance either."

As he spoke, six Soul Ring appeared: purple, purple, purple, black, white, and black.

"From what I've gathered, some inheritances can increase the level of Soul Ring. But if it's a god-level inheritance, it will only increase the level of all Soul Ring at the very last moment."

Shock reappeared on Xue Qinghe's face.

He had lost count of how many times he had been shocked.

Wang Xingyu had no choice; if he didn't reveal some information, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get them to come.

The Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation is approaching. If they can use Tang Chen's power to directly reclaim the Clear Sky Sect at this time, both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can be saved.

Some of the risks are worthwhile.
