Chapter 135

Qian Renxue

A tremendous thunder cracked the heavens, Qian Renxue was possessed by an eight‑winged angel, six scarlet soul rings coiled around her, her wings behind beat, she tilted slightly and missed the blue‑purple dragon's thunder claw by a hair, and her floating body was nearly overturned by the residual wave of soul power that erupted behind her.

"There was never any dragon maiden from the start! You old fool, stop living in a dream, let me kill you with my own hands!!"

Qian Renxue slightly extended her hand, a dazzling golden holy sword appeared in her grasp, and a scarlet soul ring began to pulse slowly on the sword, bearing exactly six golden patterns!

During the year in Thunder Rift, Qian Renxue had already had Jin Huang'er upgrade the age of her sword‑shaped soul ring, and now the sword‑shaped soul ring had been raised to six hundred thousand years.

Dragon Valley

"I will become the true strongest, the strongest that no one can reach!"

The angelic holy core inside Qian Renxue's body was contracting rapidly, like a heart, terrifying soul‑power fluctuations filled her body, and the momentum she unleashed was no less than Yu Yuanzhen's; she is not a dragon, yet her body is even more fearsome than a dragon! The soul power deep within, as vast as a golden sea, boiled over, forming violent whirlpools one after another.

Qian Renxue's body and her pristine wings were completely enveloped by dazzling golden soul power, tiny particle‑like soul‑power glimmers appeared on her, and although this accumulation of golden soul power was insufficient to fully unleash the entire might hidden in the angelic holy sword, it was nevertheless more than enough to wield great power—

The golden holy sword, elongated by the radiant golden soul power, was swung by Qian Renxue with all her might in a single slash.

The blade forged from radiant golden soul power resembled a sacred pillar of light, the swirling golden soul power disturbed and covered the sword's surface, delivering the very concept of a slash onto Yu Yuanzhen.

Dragon Soaring Heavenly Thunder Guide

At that time on Douluo Continent the soul‑master system was incomplete, and soul masters had not even been born; instead powerful spirit beasts roamed everywhere, and the Church relied on holy power to repel them, gaining the world's recognition. Yet as the proportion of soul masters grew, the Church's power began to wane, and with the loss of talent it was eventually supplanted by the Spirit Hall.

Golden Holy Sword

He suddenly recalled a certain deep night in Dragon Valley, when the countless stars had already climbed into the night sky, while everyone else had already fallen into slumber.

Only a blond girl, drenched in sweat, was darting through Dragon Valley; she was a mess, covered in mud and dust, yet each time she earnestly met his challenges. Silver‑white dragon scales glittered under the starry sky, and she stared at him with her bright, large eyes, her deep‑purple pupils seeming to ask—

"Did I complete the trial?" This is a child who never fails to satisfy him from beginning to end.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even dare to believe that he could have such an outstanding child, as if the child were a figment of his imagination.

She should clearly be his granddaughter, the next head of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaur Sect, the ideal heir he has long yearned for but never obtained.

Yu Yuanzhen seemed as if he hadn't seen the golden holy sword Qian Renxue swung at him, and kept asking about the little dragon he had lost.

The resplendent holy golden soul power of the Eight-winged Angel, in Yuyuan Zhen's eyes, was yet more evil than any terrifying darkness; she is not Yutianlin, she is an evil soul master. It must be that Qian Renxue struck Yuyuan Zhen with a single blow, accompanied by a large amount of electricity, as if splitting a thunder slurry, completely useless.

Qian Renxue silently waved the golden holy sword in her hand, but Yuyuan Zhen seemed like a lunatic who had lost his reason, continuously emitting a dragon roar like an earthquake; Qian Renxue could only barely discern the words it wanted to express—

"Where is my dragon girl, my child, where has she gone?"

Qian Renxue did not answer, merely continuing to wave the blade in her hand, pointing her sword's edge at the old man who had always carefully taught her; Qian Renxue clearly understood that the old dragon before her had likely fallen into some unreachable memory, yet Qian Renxue did not answer his question.

Only the cold, merciless raising of the sword—

Yuyuan Zhen was once again wounded by the gaze of that evil soul master who bore his granddaughter's appearance.

He let out a mad roar, the jet-black sixth soul ring on his body suddenly ignited, Breaking Heaven Dragon Roar!

The deafening dragon roar spread in all directions; this sound wave not only possessed great attack power, but could also cause enemies to suffer a dizzying control effect.

"Hmph!"

Suddenly a golden domain lit up in the sky, illuminating the pitch-black night down to the finest detail; a holy chant appeared in the azure hall, as if able to cleanse all negative emotions from people's hearts.

The holy chant and the dragon roar collided, ultimately both dissipating.

This is the chant inherent to the angelic domain; it can not only erase the enemy's mental power, but can also serve as a sound-wave attack.

Qian Renxue simply flapped her wings, hovering above the humanoid dragon, her azure cloak lightly fluttering in the night breeze.

She stood directly above Yuyuan Zhen's head, as if she had stood there proudly since ancient times.

Her face showed no expression, yet her calm visage bore an indescribable pride, as if the sky were hers to command and the earth ought to submit before her.

The more he saw the angelic wings in the sky, the angrier Yuyuan Zhen became; he walked forward slowly.

His body also shrank as he advanced; with each step his height seemed to diminish a little, and when he stood directly beneath Qian Renxue, his stature had become that of a small giant 2.5 meters tall, with shoulders over 1.5 meters wide.

The still-tall humanoid monster straightened its body, his right hand raised at his side, strands of blue electricity spreading from his body, the bluish-purple scales like spikes all flared out, the scales on his terrifying and mighty arms being the thickest.

Strands of bluish-purple electricity coiled around him; though he had not yet unleashed his martial soul true form, Yuyuan Zhen looked utterly like a true dragon, even his pupils shifting from bluish-purple to deep purple.

The pure bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon ought to be like Yuyuan Zhen's, with explosive and destructive power extremely strong.

Strands of bluish-purple thunder slurry gathered around Yuyuan Zhen's body, vast soul power pouring unrestrained into his fifth soul ring, his gaze locked onto Qian Renxue in the air.

Yuyuan Zhen's fifth soul skill, Lightning Fourfold Thrust! This is a soul skill capable of rapid advance and piercing attacks.

"Boom—"

Like an embodiment of thunder, the space and objects around Yuyuan Zhen distorted due to the immense energy of his own soul power, his massive body rushing toward Qian Renxue at extreme speed.

As Qian Renxue swung the raised holy sword, the sharp golden holy sword felt like cutting into a somewhat obstructive block of iron, yet this did not hinder; the extremely strong bluish-purple dragon scales on Yuyuan Zhen's body were instantly torn open.

His chest was stained with blood, but Yuyuan Zhen did not care; instead he stretched out his right claw and gripped the sword blade tightly, the originally invincible holy sword now felt like striking hard rock, unable to advance even a fraction. Qian Renxue cursed silently; Yuyuan Zhen's madness had truly surpassed her imagination, "You want to compare strength with me, huh!" Qian Renxue was about to activate the Eight-winged Blue Silver Transformation when she saw the humanoid monster before her streaming tears across its face, tears flowing from its crocodile-like vertical pupils, tracing over the dragon scales on its face, and Qian Renxue heard the dry question from Yuyuan Zhen before her.

"Grandfather, give me one more chance, continue being my dragon girl. Today's affairs, grandfather can treat as if they never happened."

Qian Renxue's pupils twitched slightly, she gritted her teeth, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and shouted loudly: "Yutianlin is fake! This is a scam! I am not your dragon girl!!!"

"Not!"

"Oh—!!!"

A sorrowful dragon roar suddenly rang out; Yuyuan Zhen's thick arms tensed violently, his blue dragon claws clenched, and the lightning arcs coiling around his body instantly contracted.

His seventh and eighth soul rings flared, martial soul true form and Dragon Soaring Heaven Thunder Guide! In the next instant, the lightning that had just been extinguished burst forth, surging out in all directions from Yuyuan Zhen's body.

Yuyuan Zhen's martial soul true form was not like ordinary beast soul masters simply enlarging their martial soul; rather, it was a step further in his ferocious draconic transformation! A pair of vast bluish-purple dragon wings emerged from his back.

The current Yuyuan Zhen directly achieved the tenth stage of draconic transformation! Possessing combat power comparable to the peak of rank ninety-seven!

He broke the limit of the pseudo-dragon, temporarily sublimating into a genuine, true dragon!

Dark clouds covered the sky, thunder rumbled, a massive soul power vortex formed above his head, within which electric light flickered, as if connecting heaven and earth.

The fierce wind howled, causing the blue cloaks draped over the two of them to flap loudly.

Immediately after, a giant dragon formed from condensed thunder and lightning roared out of the vortex.

The dragon's body twisted, its blue‑purple scales flashing with dazzling thunderlight, each sway causing the space to tremble.

Wherever it passed, the air was instantly ionized, emitting crackling explosions like heavenly might.

Before his eyes lay a blank whiteness, engulfed by this powerful blue‑purple thunderlight.

A low dragon roar sounded, and Yu Yuan Zhen swept his leg fiercely at Qian Renxue, who was immobilized before him because the holy sword was stuck; his right leg actually trailed a long whip like a dragon tail, his right leg acting as a lightning‑attracting signal, and dragon‑shaped thunder and lightning exploded instantly!

Qian Renxue had already loosened her left hand gripping the golden holy sword, switching to single‑handed hold with her right; the gem on her left wrist's Purple Lightning Holy Light Kirin soul bone emitted a silver‑purple glow, and ultimate purple‑gold thunder burst forth.

A faint Kirin roar sounded on Qian Renxue's body, and silver‑purple light points lit up at her various joints, forehead, chest and other vital spots.

Silver lines connected these silver light points; first to appear were the gauntlets on her hands shaped like Kirin claws, with layered patterns, the fingertips becoming sharp and slender, the Kirin claws on the back of her hands emerged, silver‑purple scale‑like armor rolled upward, quickly covering her arms; each forearm side had three curved blades, whereas when she was in the Slaughter City, her arms had no blades at all.

Then the shoulder armor appeared, the layered shoulder plates swiftly moved down, and the chest armor covered.

When the silver‑purple armor covered her whole body, Qian Renxue's aura surged; on the silver‑purple armor, each scale had a faint ridge protruding, and within those ridges a halo of light flowed; the chest‑protecting mirror was a diamond‑shaped metal piece, like a huge scale.

A flash of silver‑purple light on her forehead, the helmet closed over her head, and sharp horn‑like protrusions resembling branches jutted upward from the helmet's sides, pointing backward; at the same time a silver mask rose, covering her lovely face, revealing only her extraordinary deep‑purple eyes.

Qian Renxue's upper body bent slightly, she gave a shake behind her, and the four pairs of pure white wings on her back instantly folded together, forming a pair of enormous wings.

The ultimate state of the Holy Fusion Technique! Wing Fusion! The Holy Fusion Technique is a secret art passed down in the Qian family; originally it was merely a technique for fusing rings.

But after Qian Renxue trained to a high level, it even resembled a self‑martial soul fusion skill, except it was not the fusion of two martial souls, but the fusion of the attributes of her different wings; this is also the technique she finally worked out after researching multi‑attribute soul cores.

Although she cannot currently condense a soul core containing all attributes, Qian Renxue can still fully master the four attributes of her Eight‑Wing Angel martial soul.

Silver‑purple light covered her, and then a pair of silver‑white wings unfolded behind her; however, these wings looked as if they were pieced together from countless scales, when spread they reached a width of over four meters, and when folded they completely covered her entire back.

The moment these wings appeared, Qian Renxue's aura surged again.

After the thunder was transformed into ultimate thunder at the Thunder God's place, perhaps related to the Thunder God's preference, the armor that originally appeared very slender all over became more magnificent and powerful; the current soul bone armor now has especially exaggerated shoulder armor and close‑combat equipment, she truly possesses the Kirin claws! Previously the Kirin claws were more like elongated fingernails forming claws, though powerful, they cannot be compared to the Kirin claws that now protrude from the gauntlets on the back of her hands.

Yu Yuan Zhen, standing before Qian Renxue, looked somewhat dazed; what kind of technique is this that surpasses dragon transformation? Without a doubt, Qian Renxue's soul power level and her soul bone armor are far stronger than he imagined.

Purple‑gold ultimate thunder danced lightly around Qian Renxue's body as she faced Yu Yuan Zhen's Dragon‑Soaring Thunder Guide.

In an instant, Qian Renxue's whole body turned purple‑gold, covered head‑to‑toe with scales entwined with purple‑gold lightning; she lacked a seventh soul skill and could not manifest her martial soul true form, but at this moment her spirit, energy and essence undoubtedly reached their peak.

Qian Renxue did not use any soul skill, and she also believed that even without using soul skills she would not lose to Yu Yuan Zhen before her.

Her right fist became sharp, electricity flashed breaking the sound barrier, accompanied by a loud boom.

At some point her fist had turned purple‑gold, crystal clear and translucent, as splendid as a purple gem.

Countless streaks of purple‑gold light instantly merged into one, carrying an unstoppable momentum, a decisive all‑or‑nothing resolve, filled with the radiance of a king.

At this moment, Qian Renxue seemed to have become the master of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth!

In the tremendous roar, silver‑purple scales erupted on the surface of Qian Renxue's right fist, and the Kirin claw on the back of her hand, like gripping the neck of a blue‑electric tyrant dragon, dug deep into the skull of the dragon‑shaped lightning wrapped around Yu Yuan Zhen's leg.

In midair, the two sides actually experienced a brief pause; one could clearly see the collision of fist and shin, and also a visible surging air wave rolling outward.

The space inside the blue hall seemed to twist slightly; that terrifying air wave's impact amid the surrounding electricity made the hall's light flicker and sway.

A piercing dragon roar echoed with a hint of sorrow!

A huge halo burst outward, launching Qian Renxue's body far away, while on the ground it left a deep trench, and throughout the hall countless deep fissures appeared.

Yu Yuan Zhen felt as if he had been head‑on struck by a dragon‑like creature charging at full speed; his body instantly flew backward like a cannonball, crashing hard into the former sect master's seat, a situation he could not control at all.

His thunder was completely suppressed, and even his greatest pride—his physical strength—could not match that of the child before him.

For the first time, Yu Yuan Zhen, whom countless soul masters revered as the continent's strongest beast soul master, found himself on the losing side in a head‑on battle.

4600, the Holy Fusion Technique is not something I made up; in the third part, the secret manual of the Holy Angel family says it is a technique passed down from the ancestors. Ancestors, that is none other than.
