Qian Renshang held him back tightly, preventing him from escaping to salvage the crumbling battlefield below.
Qian Daoliu knew he was like a caged beast, possessing immense power yet unable to unleash it; this sense of powerlessness tormented him deeply.
He tried to break free from Qian Renshang's grasp, unleashing his soul power time and again, attempting to break free of these constraints. However, Qian Renshang seemed to have anticipated his moves, skillfully countering each one, rendering his efforts futile.
"Qian Renshang, you child of darkness… you are a demon!
I am not wronging you!
I should have killed you long ago, strangled you at birth!"
Qian Daoliu roared, his voice trembling with despair.
However, Qian Renshang remained unmoved, continuing to hold him tightly, giving him no chance to change the course of the battle.
At this moment, Qian Renshang's expression was full of ferocity.
The more pain Qian Daoliu was in, the happier he became!
Hahaha…
"Angel God, what should I do? Please tell your faithful believer!"
Qian Daoliu cried out in anguish, his voice seemingly bursting forth from the depths of his soul, carrying endless pain and profound confusion.
He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with pleading and longing, his gaze so fervent, as if trying to see through the sky, awaiting the divine response.
However, the surroundings remained deathly silent, time seemed to freeze at this moment, only Qian Daoliu's sorrowful cries echoed in the air, yet no one seemed to answer.
His face was filled with despair, his body trembling slightly, like a withered tree about to break in a storm.
Just as Qian Daoliu's heart sank completely into the abyss of darkness, almost to the point of giving up hope, a dazzling golden light suddenly descended from the sky.
That golden light, like a sharp sword slicing through the darkness, struck Qian Daoliu directly with unstoppable force.
Qian Daoliu froze instantly, his body completely enveloped by the sudden golden light.
At first, the light was like a warm, gentle stream, softly enveloping him, but then, like a ignited powder keg, it erupted in a blindingly brilliant light.
Within this dazzling light, Qian Daoliu's body began to undergo astonishing changes.
His previously exhausted and wounded body was now covered in a layer of golden radiance, every inch of his skin seemingly reshaped, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura.
His muscle lines became more defined, as if containing boundless power; his bones cracked, seemingly undergoing some kind of mysterious strengthening.
The powerful aura surging from his body was like a raging tsunami, sweeping outwards with overwhelming force.
This aura was so powerful it was suffocating, as if it could crush the entire world under its feet.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically at this moment.
Their eyes were filled with fear and awe, almost unable to breathe under the pressure of this powerful force.
Even Qian Renshang, whose previously confident face was instantly filled with shock.
Faced with this vast and boundless power, seemingly from an ancient god, he involuntarily felt a sense of despair.
"This...this is absolutely not a power that a human could possess!"
"Everyone, step back! Beware of Qian Daoliu!"
Qian Renshang muttered to himself, his voice trembling, filled with disbelief and deep fear.
His eyes widened as he stared intently at Qian Daoliu, who was enveloped in golden light.
The light was so dazzling that he could hardly look directly at it, yet he couldn't look away, as if drawn by an invisible force.
Zi Ji was also pale-faced, her beautiful face now ashen with extreme terror.
Her delicate body trembled slightly; she could clearly feel that this power far exceeded their ability to resist, like an insurmountable chasm.
"So strong, this power, this power...it seems...impossible,"
The other soul beasts and members of the Spirit Hall were all silent before this powerful force.
Their bodies trembled involuntarily, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown power.
The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence, with only the dazzling golden light and Qian Daoliu's powerful aura silently announcing the sudden change in the situation.
The next moment, Qian Daoliu suddenly looked up, and in that instant, time seemed to stand still.
His pair of dazzling golden eyes shone with an incomparably bright light, a light that seemed to pierce through all darkness and illuminate everything in the world.
His face was expressionless, yet it exuded an awe-inspiring majesty, like a high-ranking deity looking down upon the ants of the world.
He looked at Qian Renshang not far away and said in a deep voice:
"Child of Darkness, an anomaly from another world, you should never have existed on Douluo Continent.
Look at all that you have caused, associating with soul beasts to start the beast tide, causing devastation to humankind."
As everyone knows, soul beasts cannot become gods.
This is a betrayal of all humanity. Douluo Continent cannot tolerate you.
I will kill you here.
His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an irresistible magic, slowly echoing in the air.
Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present, revealing a strange feeling that made them involuntarily convinced.
Qian Renshang stared intently at "Qian Daoliu" in front of him, his eyes narrowed, his gaze like a sharp sword, as if trying to see through the other.
His expression was solemn and resolute as he slowly spoke:
"You must be the so-called Angel God, the true mastermind.
It was your orders that drove Qian Daoliu to kill me all along."
Despite being identified by Qian Renshang, the Angel God showed no panic.
His body shone with golden light, like a blazing sun, and his voice was majestic and resounding:
"Indeed, it is I. You heretic should never have existed in this world."
Qian Renshang sneered:
"Hmph, you so-called god, you're nothing but a selfish and ruthless individual who will stop at nothing to maintain your so-called order."
The Angel God coldly stared at Qian Renshang and said:
"Insolence! Everything I've done is for the balance and peace of the Douluo Continent. Your existence is a threat to all of that."
Qian Renshang laughed loudly, his laughter filled with mockery:
"Balance? Peace?
These are just lies you fabricated to consolidate your power."
He was indeed the heretic the Angel God spoke of, but he had never harmed any innocent people.
Why did he decide his fate with a single word?
Why?
Even God won't do it!
The angel god roared, "Stubborn fool! Today, I will utterly annihilate you!"
Qian Renshang clenched his fists, and dark power began to surge within him:
"Then come on, let's see if your divine power is stronger, or if my dark power prevails."
