Chapter 409: Angel Light Blade, Netherworld Sea

"No, I must win this quickly. Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!" Qian Renxue no longer held anything back, and the appearance of her martial soul was fully revealed—the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, magnificent and breathtaking.

Aside from the legendary Radiant Goddess Butterfly, it would be hard to find a martial soul more beautiful than this.

"Six-Six-Winged Angel!" Great Emperor Xue Ye exclaimed in surprise, "So you are from the Spirit Hall. Where is my child? What has happened to my true son, Qing He?"

At this moment, he was one hundred percent certain that the person in the sky was not his son; as a monarch of his generation, he could not possibly have never heard of the Angel Clan's ancestral martial soul.

This was, after all, the only god-level martial soul openly known on the continent.

But Qian Renxue could not be bothered to pay him any mind now; she had to defeat Lv Lingqi as quickly as possible and then kill Xue Ye.

"Lv Lingqi, let me tell you, the power of a Domain can only be pushed to its maximum limit when the Avatar is activated," Qian Renxue said. At this moment, the boost her Angel Domain provided to her had reached as high as sixty percent, surpassing the forty percent of Lv Lingqi's Ghost God Domain.

"But I also possess the power of an Avatar. Seventh Soul Skill: Weapon Soul Avatar!" Lv Lingqi did not hesitate to activate her Avatar, and her Domain power rose accordingly, though unfortunately, the overall increase did not seem as great as Qian Renxue's.

This was normal; Lingqi's Feilian Halberd could be considered a decent weapon, but it had not reached the level of a divine weapon.

In the game Legend of the Three Kingdoms 2, there were only a few weapons that could be called divine weapons: the Heaven-Relying Sword, the Fangtian Halberd, the Zhangba Snake Spear, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Even famous weapons like the Qinggang Sword, the Twin Swords, the Iron Caltrop Mace, and the Double Iron Halberds were a cut below.

Lingqi's weapon was merely DIY-ed into the game by Feihuang; it was on the same level as the Twin Swords and the Double Iron Halberds. After transforming into a martial soul, it belonged to the rank of top-level spirits, and its Avatar boost was ultimately a step behind a god-level martial soul.

Qian Renxue smiled with disdain. The reason for her confidence was naturally the gap between their martial souls. Perhaps before activating their Avatars, the difference in power between a god-level martial soul and a top-level martial soul would not be so vast, but once the Avatars were activated and the martial soul's power was truly unleashed, Lv Lingqi would not be her match.

With a casual wave, Qian Renxue unleashed countless light blades, far stronger than the sky-filling sword shadows from before.

The density was like a torrential downpour; she intended to finish off Lv Lingqi and the Great Emperor Xue Ye and others she was protecting behind her in one go.

As for Xue Ke, although she felt some reluctance, she could not worry about that now.

"Hmph, Ghost God Empress Halberd—Netherworld Sea!" The phantom of the Feilian Halberd under Lv Lingqi's Avatar was not inferior in size to Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel.

One could see the true intent of Lv Lingqi's halberd technique transform into a monstrous, surging wave, pouncing toward Qian Renxue's myriad light blades.

This move, Netherworld Sea, was a technique Lv Lingqi had created herself, combining the Ghost God Halberd taught to her by her father, Lv Bu, and the Empress Halberd taught to her by her mother-in-law, Lan Xue.

It belonged to the defensive type of techniques; the "Netherworld" is invisible to the eye and silent to the ear, and it is said that it can swallow all things in heaven and earth.

The artistic conception of the "Sea" lies in its vastness, boundless and limitless, allowing the devouring power of the Netherworld to have no limits.

With the two combined, no matter how surging and terrifying the opponent's power was, Lingqi could take it all in.

That monstrous sea wave instantly swallowed and extinguished all of Qian Renxue's Angel Light Blades and Angel Fire.

"Such a powerful halberd technique; this is a move even Feihuang has never mastered. This woman..." Qian Renxue looked at Lv Lingqi with a grave expression. In a situation where both her soul power and martial soul quality were far inferior, she had actually managed to block her full-strength strike by relying on technique and artistic conception.

Lingqi swung the Feilian Halberd in her hand with an expressionless face, the two locked in an even battle of offense and defense.

It was just that Lingqi's move was a purely defensive one, and she could not find an opportunity to counterattack for the time being. She had the intention to use her other two Unparalleled Skills to subdue the enemy, but Qian Renxue, having suffered a setback once, did not seem to intend to give her that chance. Qian Renxue used offense to replace defense, and Lingqi could not even manage to charge up her power, while all three of her Peerless Skills required a moment of charging to be unleashed.

"Then let's see who gives out first!" Qian Renxue roared.

Whether it was due to her original plan or because of Nan Feihuang, she would never admit defeat today, even if it meant death.

Facing Lv Lingqi's defensive move, Netherworld Sea, she knew her attacks were useless, yet she still did not give up, continuously outputting light blades, the result of which was, of course, being swept away by the waves Lv Lingqi unleashed.

But because of this, Lingqi also had no chance to counterattack, and her physical and soul power consumption was not small. The dissolving power of the Angel Domain was still very formidable, and while the Nine Heart Begonia's healing was strong, it lacked the ability to replenish soul power.

The entire inner palace had now been dyed by the soul power of the two women, one half shimmering with golden light, the other half dark and gloomy.

Even though they were only Spirit Saints, the commotion of their fight was more intense than the battle between the Title Douluo not far away.

Of course, there was another place even more intense, but unfortunately, no one could see it, because it was in the sky.

Although Feihuang and Guangling were not fighting at an altitude of ten thousand meters like the Angel God and Sea God in the original story, they were at least several thousand meters up.

To increase his speed, Guangling Douluo had even condensed a pair of ice wings. His martial soul was not suited for close-quarters combat, and he could only unleash his maximum power by keeping his distance, but no matter what, he could never shake off Nan Feihuang, who possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Seeing that the distance was about right, Guangling turned back and fired an arrow, "First Soul Skill: Invisible Arrow!"

*Swish! * The arrow was fired, but it quickly vanished into nothingness.

This simple First Soul Skill of his had a very formidable effect: it was invisible. Once fired, it would disappear; it could not be seen by the eye, and it lacked the whistling sound of a normal arrow, making it impossible to hear and impossible to guard against.

"Senior Guangling, these little tricks of yours are useless against me," Feihuang laughed.

His Ghost Xiaotian Pearl possessed the ability to observe the flow of soul power; no matter how bizarre Guangling Douluo's arrows were, they were always condensed from soul power.

As long as it was soul power, there would be soul power fluctuations, and where there were soul power fluctuations, they could not escape Nan Feihuang's detection.

"First Soul Skill: Half-Moon Slash!"

Feihuang unleashed a crescent-shaped slash, intercepting Guangling's ice arrow directly in mid-air.

Not only that, after the two soul skills collided, Guangling's arrow disappeared, but Feihuang's Half-Moon Slash did not; it continued to fly toward Guangling Douluo.

This tentative collision of First Soul Skills clearly showed Feihuang had the upper hand.

Furthermore, this Half-Moon Slash did not originally have a soul skill lock-on effect, but because the Mind Eye technique taught to Nan Feihuang by Guangling Douluo had been cultivated by Feihuang to the realm of Perfection, all of his long-range skills now came with a tracking function.

Moreover, the Half-Moon Slash also dealt True Damage; it could be said that as long as it hit, it could show you that even a god could be wounded.

"You brat, you actually use the soul skill I taught you to deal with me!" Guangling Douluo said unhappily, then fired another arrow, using the power of two arrows to barely neutralize Feihuang's Half-Moon Slash.
