Chapter 16 Only Twelve Six-Winged Angels? The Reward is Summoning the Angel God!
Qian Daoliu sighed with some emotion, "This boy Chen Xin has indeed reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. His mastery of the unity of man and sword is something even I must admire."
Golden Crocodile Douluo muttered, "Brother, don't boost others' morale and diminish your own. Your Angel Martial Soul hasn't even appeared yet. Perhaps this time you can break through level 99 in one fell swoop and become the first Soul Master on the continent to ascend to godhood!"
"Break through level 100? That's almost impossible..."
Qian Daoliu thought to himself.
If the Heavenly Golden Ranking before him truly followed the rules of the Douluo Continent, it would never allow anyone to become a god so easily.
It might give them an opportunity, but it would never allow anyone to ascend to the God Realm on the spot and break the original order.
Becoming stronger is acceptable, becoming a god is absolutely not!
As the current High Priest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu was one of the few who understood the truth.
Shrek Academy.
"Uncle Jian is so cool!"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed with pride, her face flushed with excitement. "Man and sword as one, a divine-level soul bone, it sounds amazing!"
Dai Mubai sighed, "This is the kind of strongman I dream of becoming! With a single strike, it's as if he could even cleave down stars!"
Ma Hongjun said with regret, "It's a pity our martial soul didn't make the list. I also wanted to take off with the Golden List, maybe it could even help me complete this mutated martial soul."
Oscar looked at the jumping Ning Rongrong, then at the sky, feeling that he was getting further and further away from the girl he secretly loved. He made up his mind to work harder to cultivate his food-type martial soul.
Tang San's eyes burned with fervor, his fists clenched tightly as he thought to himself, "The Seven Kill Sword, the pinnacle of attack? I must cultivate diligently, and my Clear Sky Hammer will surely surpass it, making my father's Clear Sky Hammer's fame resound throughout the continent!"
Yu Xiaogang trembled with excitement, "Man and sword as one! This is theoretically the highest resonance state that a weapon spirit and its host can achieve! And that divinely bestowed sword technique, it even involves rules... This Golden Ranking is simply opening a completely new door for us soul masters!"
On the Golden Ranking, the words "Seven Kill Sword" and the peerless sword shadow slowly faded, but the all-severing sharpness and the terror of the killing sword domain were deeply imprinted in the depths of everyone's soul.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, relying on the opportunity of the Golden Ranking, ascended to the pinnacle of peerless power in one step, and the name of the Seven Kill Sword resounded throughout the universe!
However, the light of the Golden Ranking did not stop for even a moment, but suddenly underwent a qualitative change!
An incomparably holy and pure holy light, as if descending from a higher plane, swept across the entire Douluo Continent like a tide!
In the sky, a faint, sacred hymn echoed, and streaks of golden light fell like feathers.
Above the heavens, the golden light converged, no longer forming a specific beast or artifact, but coalescing into a blurry yet majestic figure!
Three pairs of enormous wings spread behind Him, each feather flowing with golden light. He wielded a golden longsword, and a halo hovered above his head, radiating a light so intense it was blinding, leaving no darkness or evil to hide!
This martial soul that appeared was none other than—
[Martial Soul Ranking, 12th Place—Six-Winged Angel (God-Level Martial Soul)]
[Evaluation: Incarnation of Light, Messenger of God! A god-level martial soul inherited from the God of Angels, born with the power of holiness and light, possessing absolute suppression of all evil and dark attributes, and extremely strong healing, purification, flight, and combat abilities. The martial soul itself is flawless, with boundless potential, a true agent of the gods!]
However, divine power also requires a divine heart to bear it. Being overly fixated on divine position and mission, or confined by worldly emotions and grudges, becomes a shackle, making it difficult to reach the pinnacle of the divine realm.
[Strongest Holder: Qian Daoliu, Level 99 Peerless Douluo, Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, High Priest and Guide of the Angel God.]
[Reward Obtained (Qian Daoliu): All Soul Rings' age increased by 30,000 years! Angelic Armor Tempering – 'Divine Resonance': The Angelic Armor inherited by his family has been deeply tempered under the power of the Heavenly Dao, enabling it to more efficiently draw upon and store angelic divine power. When the wearer uses angelic soul skills, the power is increased by 30%, and the consumption is reduced by 20%.]
[Reward Obtained (Qian Daoliu): Domain Ultimate Sublimation – 'Angel God's Descent': His angelic domain has undergone a fundamental sublimation, with the concentration of divine aura within its range skyrocketing. The suppression of non-divine attributes reaches its peak, and he can briefly summon an angelic god phantom to fight alongside him. The phantom possesses 50% of the original's strength.]
[Most Talented: Qian Renxue, Innate Soul Power Level 20, the chosen successor of the Angel God!]
[Reward Obtained (Qian Renxue): Divine Affinity Greatly Increased!] The Angelic Trial process is accelerated—'Light of Divine Revelation': Receives a blessing from Heaven. The next Angelic Trial will have its difficulty reduced by 20%, its success rate increased by 20%, and the user will gain a clearer understanding of the laws governing the Angelic Godhood.
[Reward (Qian Renxue): 100,000-year Soul Bone—'Holy Angel Crown'! Comes with the Soul Bone skill 'Holy Imprisonment', which releases a powerful pillar of holy light, imprisoning a single target and continuously purifying their soul power and spiritual power. The effect is doubled against evil targets.]
Boom!
A golden pillar of light, symbolizing Heaven's reward, descended upon Martial Soul City, completely engulfing Qian Daoliu, who stood silently before the angel statue in the Hall of Worship!
Another pillar landed deep within the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace on Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!
Inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu slowly closed his eyes in the golden light, his face devoid of joy or sorrow, only filled with utmost piety and acceptance.
The six-winged angelic martial spirit behind him manifested automatically, becoming more solid and sacred, its wings seemingly woven from pure light energy.
His soul ring configuration was already close to god-level, and now, with an additional 30,000 years of enhancement, his aura became even more unfathomable.
More importantly, he felt an unprecedented resonance between himself and the angelic divine armor that had been passed down through countless generations, as if they were no longer external objects, but a part of his own body.
The sublimated "Angel God's Descent" domain made him feel as if he could truly, briefly, draw upon divine power, allowing the angel god to descend to earth!
"Thank you for the grace of Heaven, which helps me better fulfill my duty of protection and welcome the return of the divine position."
Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, golden light swirling within them, and nodded slightly to the sky, his tone calm yet majestic.
His strength had not yet broken through level 100, but his foundation and mastery of divine power had reached an unprecedented height.
Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, trembled in the golden light.
She felt a warm and powerful force cleansing her body and soul at an astonishing speed. The angelic martial spirit within her rejoiced, its connection with the angelic deity in the darkness growing even stronger.
Then, a crown-shaped skull, radiating soft white light and covered in sacred runes, landed on her head, and the profound meaning of the skill 'Divine Imprisonment' became clear to her.
After this round of rewards, Qian Renxue could clearly feel that her future path to divine trials would be much smoother.
