Chapter 107: Nourished by Blood, the Bloodline Core, Angelic Holy Body Near Completion

Inside the Douluo Hall.

Qian Daoliu, cloaked in ice and frost, suddenly appeared beneath the angel statue, and before him stood Qian Renxue, who was in the midst of condensing a blood‑Qi soul ring.

Qian Renxue has now finished absorbing two brand‑new Divine‑bestowed soul rings; the cultivation span of her fifth soul ring reaches an astonishing 590,000 years, leaping over the fourth soul ring's 390,000 years, while the sixth soul ring reaches 690,000 years, and her soul power rank instantly rose to level 70.

Moreover, she finally obtained a new divine spiritual light; after adjusting her state, she is now condensing her second blood‑Qi soul ring.

Qian Renxue's blood‑Qi soul ring differs from the ordinary: it is forged from the divine spiritual light within a Divine‑bestowed soul ring, combined with her own rich angelic bloodline, forming a soul ring; during its condensation, her bloodline tier also ascends, marking a transformation from mortal to deity.

Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment in front of her, then finally paced to Qian Renxue's back, sat down behind her, raised his hands, and instantly the entire Douluo Hall fell into an unusually absolute silence, not even a whisper.

Qian Daoliu gently lowered his raised hands, stirring a swirl of golden aura, then patting Qian Renxue's back; his solemn voice sounded at her ear.

"Xue'er, later, no matter what you feel or what pain you endure, you must hold on. Understand?"

As she was condensing the blood‑Qi soul ring, Qian Renxue's spiritual fluctuation stalled. "Grandpa is up to what again?" Two gentle forces surged in from behind her, feeling like hot water flowing into her back, a soothing warmth spreading, warm and indescribably comfortable.

Qian Renxue's own blood‑Qi power was also mobilized along with those two hot currents, merging into them.

Qian Renxue realized that those two hot currents were Qian Daoliu's blood‑Qi power; for the sake of her blood‑Qi path, Qian Daoliu, who had originally walked only the martial soul path, also consulted Jin E about cultivating blood‑Qi.

"Continue to draw it out using your usual cultivation method," Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice.

Qian Renxue's intent shifted, guiding the hot currents with her spirit power, then operating them according to the Fire Phoenix Heart Method.

As the blood‑Qi guided, wherever it passed Qian Renxue felt her internal meridians seem to light up, as if covered by two membranes, swirling with a faint gold layer and a blood‑gold layer; the supple meridians were propped up, yet remained highly elastic, with a slight fullness but no pain.

"Eh!" Qian Daoliu's surprised voice came from behind, and the next moment Qian Renxue felt the two hot currents entering her body intensify noticeably.

The fullness increased, yet she still followed Qian Daoliu's instruction, drawing the energy to circulate according to the Fire Phoenix Heart Method; although the energy grew, it remained obedient, and under her mental guidance showed no turbulence, smoothly completing a full circuit of the Fire Phoenix Heart Method.

All internal meridians were fully propped, her whole body swollen; each meridian seemed ignited by the incoming hot currents—a feeling indescribable—but Qian Renxue clearly sensed a substantial boost to her blood‑Qi power.

"Continue!" Qian Daoliu commanded in a deep voice.

Qian Renxue dared not delay, continuing to guide the blood‑Qi flow; this was all providence—Grandpa truly was supportive! Having an elder at home is like possessing a treasure.

After the first familiarization, the subsequent circulation speed noticeably increased; each massive circuit of blood‑Qi through her body gave Qian Renxue the sense that her blood‑Qi grew a notch, and the meridians seemed cleansed, the fullness diminishing.

She could actually feel her meridians improving.

However, this was the third time Qian Renxue encountered such a situation; the first two were during the transformations when she obtained the Angel Nine Trials and the Asura Nine Trials.

The hot currents benefited not only her meridians but also seemed to nurture her organs and bones; the bodily fullness eased while the sense of comfort continuously grew.

After an unspecified duration, having run a full eighty‑one circuits, the hot currents returned to her dantian.

"Stop!" Qian Daoliu suddenly commanded in a deep voice; the hot currents spiraled within Qian Renxue's dantian, forming a vortex together with her blood‑Qi.

Then Qian Renxue felt a chill on her lips, as if a mass of liquid was being forced in.

"Open your mouth quickly!" Qian Daoliu's urgent voice came instantly.

Qian Renxue obeyed; a rush of coolness slid down her throat, and a bloody taste instantly filled her mouth.

It's blood! Qian Renxue startled, instinctively trying to spit it out.

"Do not spit! Keep your mind and spirit steady, embrace the origin and guard the unity." A cold voice echoed, and in an instant, refined blood fell into Qian Renxue's dantian.

Immediately afterward, Qian Renxue felt a faint golden energy surge upward within her; the coolness turned into bone‑piercing cold. How could the blood of a Six‑winged Angel soul master carry icy elemental energy? In the blink of an idea, the chill spread to every corner of her body.

This internal cold sensation was new to Qian Renxue; her body jolted, and at that moment the hot currents in her dantian spun up rapidly, suddenly tripling in speed!

Under Qian Daoliu's guidance of the hot currents, the chill ceased being so violent, and its eruption speed decreased accordingly.

Qian Renxue's internal blood‑Qi surged, causing a faint red hue to appear on her skin's surface—a slightly abnormal shade. She was shocked to discover that her blood‑Qi vortex, due to its high‑speed rotation, began changing color; the original rose‑gold hue shifted toward deep violet, feeling as if an explosive force were about to burst.

All internal meridians were instantly filled; fortunately Qian Renxue's meridian strength was sufficiently resilient, and after the prior eighty‑one circuits, a third protective layer seemed to have formed over her meridians, bones, and organs, allowing the blood‑Qi impact to strike without moving her.

Yet the blood‑Qi vortex spun faster and faster; clenching her teeth, Qian Renxue kept mobilizing her soul power around her blood‑Qi, subtly attempting to control the vortex's rotation speed.

But it was useless; her rose‑gold blood‑Qi vortex accelerated, turning her dantian into a massive spotlight.

"Boom!"

A boom that only Qian Renxue could hear detonated inside her, and the terrifying explosion instantly plunged her into a void.

The Dou armor blazed with light, and without its shielding one could see that in that instant, an unprecedented noble aura erupted from Qian Renxue, simultaneously spewing a veil of blood mist from her body; the mist was not red but rose‑gold.

Qian Renxue's consciousness gradually faded; she could not tell how long had passed—perhaps centuries, perhaps only a few breaths—until her awareness slowly returned. Her whole body remained filled with intense swelling pain, yet her limbs and bones hinted at a strange, wonderful sensation.

It was a particularly pleasant itch, tinged with faint warmth; wherever the sour itch spread, the swelling pain vanished swiftly.

Qian Renxue finally regained consciousness, surprised to find a golden world before her eyes—not outside, but within her body.

She saw countless intersecting golden lines—were they meridians? And those solid golden strands—muscles? Her bones appeared gem‑like, golden and translucent, even revealing marrow that flowed like liquid mercury.

With each breath, golden blood coursed through her body, eventually gathering at the heart and then pumped to every part.

Inside her, the entire interior had become a golden world—not the previous pale gold interwoven with blood, but a pure, dazzling rose‑gold sheen.

Qian Renxue hurriedly shifted her awareness to her dantian; the blood‑Qi vortex vanished, replaced by numerous tiny, silver‑chain‑like anomalies lingering there. At the core of these silver chains floated a delicate crystal, about the size of a thumbnail, shaped like an Eight‑winged Angel, exquisite and radiant.

The crystal was small, yet it served as the origin of all silver chains, which wound around the Eight‑winged Angel crystal's twin arms, linking to an unknown entity; the chain ends plunged into a pitch‑black void fissure.

Qian Renxue immediately peered inside; behind the void fissure lay a faint golden gate etched with Eight‑winged Angel patterns, tightly shut, its chains tightly bound around it. Within that golden gate lay her Eight‑winged Angel origin! This was the first time Qian Renxue clearly sensed the location of her Eight‑winged Angel source; it seemed that if she released all the chains binding the gate, she could truly claim it.

This crystal core? Could it be a bloodline core akin to a soul core, formed from her own angelic blood‑Qi? Qian Renxue could hardly believe it; she hadn't even compressed a soul core yet, merely condensing a blood‑Qi soul ring to obtain a second bloodline soul skill, yet suddenly a bloodline core emerged.

Nevertheless, Qian Renxue's angelic bloodline core did indeed solidify.

All pain became irrelevant in that instant; the formation of this core elevated Qian Renxue's entire bodily state to a brand‑new realm.

Condensing blood‑Qi power into a solid, soul‑core‑like entity is vastly more difficult than forming a soul core—by an incalculable factor. Qian Renxue merely got lucky, relying on the divine power remnants of the two Nine Trials to shield her interior, and the aid of a 99th‑level ultimate Douluo who shared her bloodline and had forsaken refined blood, barely succeeding.

Qian Renxue now feels terrifyingly strong—damn, she even dares to touch Qian Daoliu! I'm fired up! How to put it? The adjustment of the eight great medicinal herbs improved her body, and after she absorbed the blood‑Qi power that Qian Daoliu deliberately sent, she inadvertently achieved an unprecedented feat.

From now on, call it the Angelic Holy Core; with this, she can truly call herself an Angelic Holy Body! Qian Renxue's Angelic Holy Body has now truly taken its first form.

She silently resolved that once her Holy Body fully matures, she will suppress the myriad gods with a single hand! She will challenge the God King!

The Angelic Holy Core's formation not only does not harm her body, but also greatly enhances Qian Renxue's physical quality.

With this Angelic Holy Core, Qian Renxue no longer fears bursting from absorbing too many high‑tenure soul rings; each of her soul rings has an excessively long tenure. After she absorbed the sixth Divine‑bestowed soul ring, her body already felt a slight swelling, indicating her original physical quality was insufficient.

If this continues, once she has absorbed eight rings, and wishes to keep taking high‑tenure soul rings, Qian Renxue will have to employ the Angelic Seal and the Asura Seal to aid her absorption.

But with this Angelic Holy Core, Qian Renxue's physical quality can continuously surpass human limits, advancing toward another tier; in other words, she is no longer truly human, but a bona fide juvenile ferocious beast.

The so-called human limit is the strongest physical condition that an Extreme Limit Douluo can achieve; without a doubt, purely in terms of internal bodily strength, Qian Renxue has already reached that level.

The benefits brought by this are enormous; first, Qian Renxue's physical endurance has greatly increased, and her attack, defense, and strength have all seen significant improvements.

Second, and most importantly, in the future increase of Qian Renxue's soul power, there is no need to worry about her body being unable to withstand the impact of soul power.

With her current physical condition, even if she instantly possessed soul power at the Extreme Limit Douluo level, there would be no problem in that regard; her future cultivation speed will only get faster, and every bottleneck before Qian Renxue cannot be called a problem.

Qian Daoliu's weak voice sounded, "Done? Why don't I see your blood qi soul ring manifest?"

Qian Renxue hurriedly turned to help him up; as she rose, her bones cracked all over, and upon turning she saw Qian Daoliu's sorry state, as if his whole body had been frozen, with a layer of frost on his eyebrows and eyelashes.

"Grandpa, how are you? Why are you so cold?" A faint red light rose from Qian Renxue's body, scorching yet warm, shining on Qian Daoliu.

"Cough cough, Grandpa's fine, I just ate a few herbs with a cold chill; since you're done, I can refine them myself."

Scorching golden flames burst from Qian Daoliu's body, and his Extreme Limit Douluo cultivation let him quickly expend all the cold energy within.

Qian Renxue helped him up, somewhat dissatisfied, saying, "Grandpa, why are you eating that stuff? Won't it affect your body?"

Qian Daoliu chuckled lightly, "It's not for nothing; to stimulate the bloodline power within your body, the bodies of Six-Wing Angel Soul Masters are mostly scorching, so using opposing cold can better stimulate your body and awaken your bloodline power."

Qian Renxue glared at him, "You could have let me eat it myself; at your age, still causing trouble!"

Qian Daoliu shook his head, "It's not the same; my path has reached its end, but yours hasn't. Directly consuming herbs with opposing attributes could affect your body; with my blood transfusion it would be much better. Moreover, our bloodlines are connected, which can also help you condense a blood qi soul ring."

Qian Renxue scratched her cheek, embarrassed, saying, "Um, Grandpa, my blood qi soul ring seems not to have condensed yet."

"(⊙﹏⊙)? What? Then what were you just doing?"

Qian Daoliu's originally gratified expression froze instantly, like an old man on the subway looking at his phone; he now somewhat wanted to pull out the Angelic Sacred Sword, this unfilial granddaughter, is she playing him?

Qian Renxue said strangely, "Ah? Weren't you the one who told me to condense blood qi power? That blood qi vortex almost blew up my dantian; my angelic blood qi has now condensed into something like a soul core, and this thing is far stronger than a blood qi soul ring."

"From now on, my Angelic Sacred Core can cultivate on its own, just like a Nascent Soul infant; the level of my angel bloodline will only keep rising, and with this I no longer need to rely on the divine light of a Divine-bestowed Soul Ring. I can directly condense a Bloodline Soul Ring, and the Bloodline Soul Ring I condense myself is completely on par with the Blood Qi Soul Ring formed by combining divine light, only needing to grow slowly, with even greater potential."

Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't understand what Qian Renxue meant by 'Nascent Soul infant,' but since Xue'er said it's stronger than a Bloodline Soul Ring, he felt his efforts weren't wasted.

"Good child, you haven't lived up to Grandpa's expectations." Qian Daoliu supported his chest with his right hand, saying with a relieved expression.

Qian Renxue supported Qian Daoliu's left arm, her whole body twisting and turning, looking embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Why be polite with Grandpa? Just say what you have to say."

Qian Daoliu said with a smile, feeling greatly comforted in his heart; Xue'er this child is just a mass of essence and blood, seeing her moved, sigh, otherwise why do people often say that grandparents and grandchildren are close?

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up; she immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Grandpa, can you spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood? This stuff feels amazing, much faster than my own cultivation."

Suddenly, Qian Daoliu's back flashed with light, his whole body enveloped in a cluster of golden light; his martial soul manifested, the wings behind him much wider than Qian Renxue's, like a mighty six-winged golden eagle; eight black and one red, nine soul rings appeared, and a powerful soul power wave swept across the entire Douluo Hall.

"Boom—! Boom—!"

A huge explosion sound suddenly rang out in the Douluo Hall.

"Qian Renxue!"

"You little brat, do you want to become an evil soul master? You actually intend to walk the heretical path; I'll beat to death this unfilial granddaughter of mine! I think you're headed to the City of Carnage, leaving your brains there! Don't run! I'll kill you!"

Qian Daoliu chased after Qian Renxue, wielding the Angelic Sacred Sword and slashing.

"Ow—! Stop hitting! Grandpa, sorry, sorry! I really didn't mean to drink blood!"

"Don't run! Dead girl! I'll definitely beat you to death today!"

"Wow—! You're even using soul skills? You really came at me, you stinky old man, bullying too much! My sword is certainly not useless!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I want to see just how sharp your sword is!"

"Ow! Wah! Grandpa, I'll never dare again——!"

Today's main text is just five thousand words; after all, I put together an ability summary, and readers asked for a summary of all Qian Renxue's abilities, which I think is reasonable, so the ability summary is three thousand words. Although I only wrote five thousand for the main text, I actually wrote eight thousand words today. Tomorrow I'll continue with six thousand. Whether to watch or not, whether to work overtime or not—if not overtime, I'll add another thousand for the brothers; if overtime, then it's fine, still six thousand. (End of chapter)
