Chapter 39: Can the Angel Domain Be Used This Way?

In the early morning, the first hint of fish‑belly white gradually appeared in the distant east.

Qian Daoliu and Jin E had also gotten up; the three first washed up, then took out the leftover soul‑beast jerky from yesterday and made do of it.

While eating the dry rations and listening to the insect chirps and bird calls in the Star Dou Great Forest, sounds full of life's breath, they couldn't help but feel how tranquil this moment was.

Qian Daoliu smiled gently, "Xue'er, today we will venture deep into the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest. The deeper we go, the more dangerous it becomes, as you know. Today you take the middle, grandfather leads at the front, and the second follows behind you."

"Yes." Qian Renxue and Jin E answered in unison.

The three moved quickly; in a short while they finished breakfast, then began packing the tent, and once everything was ready they set out on today's journey.

During the march the three spoke little; Qian Renxue's mind was filled with her second soul ring, Qian Daoliu was still concerned about Qian Renxue's soul bone, and Jin E Douluo, seeing the grandfather and grandchild silent, felt uneasy about disturbing them.

Ahead, a Limit Douluo‑ranked strongman cleared the path; for Qian Renxue there was essentially no pressure today, and by bright daylight the three had already reached the edge of the deep layers of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qian Daoliu halted, turned back anxiously and instructed, "We're about to enter the deep layer soon, Xue'er, you must be cautious."

"In the Star Dou Great Forest any situation can arise; the deep layer differs from the outskirts, with traces of ten‑thousand‑year soul beasts everywhere. Soul‑beast abilities are myriad and may catch us off guard. So, Xue'er, you must be especially careful."

"Alright, grandfather, let's set off quickly." Qian Renxue was already a bit impatient.

Qian Daoliu did not ask Jin E; after all, Jin E was a Level‑98 Peak strongman, and how could ten‑thousand‑year soul beasts harm him? He only worried that Qian Renxue, being protected in the middle by the two of them, might lose caution, and if Jin E were to be careless for a moment, it would be bad.

Jin E had originally been just entering the Level‑98 realm; being older, he thought breakthrough hopeless and could only endure slowly over time.

Unexpectedly, after eating an unknown celestial herb that Qian Renxue brought back, his soul power cultivation had already reached the Level‑98 Peak, his qi and blood surged, and he was only one step away from the Level‑99 realm. Unfortunately, that final step required comprehension of the power of Heaven and Earth; Jin E's mastery of qi‑and‑blood power was superb, but regarding the power of Heaven and Earth he was completely clueless.

After a brief explanation, Qian Daoliu immediately turned and entered the depths at great speed; Qian Renxue and Jin E did not lag, and the two followed closely behind Qian Daoliu, plunging into the deep layer.

As the first to enter the forest, a faint golden light emanated from Qian Daoliu; a holy radiance burst from him like a dazzling sun, enveloping the three and quickly scattering outward. Viewed from above at that moment, the golden light spread like a circular halo.

"Angel Domain?" Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise. It is the innate domain soul skill of the Six‑Winged Angel martial soul. Qian Renxue also possesses it, but isn't it used to strengthen oneself and purify or weaken opponents? Wherever the light reaches, the surrounding scenery becomes increasingly clear in their perception; the spiritual power of the Moon‑Riding Realm title Douluo can directly manipulate these domain skills with flair.

Qian Renxue's expression was focused, carefully feeling the information fed back by the Angel Domain; curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes—can the Angel Domain be used this way?

The Angel Domain is formidable because of its special abilities; it not only has extremely strong support capabilities but can also weaken opponents. I've never heard of it having a probing ability, have you?

If a regular soul master uses the Angel Domain, it can purify the soul power within the master completely, eventually causing death from soul‑power depletion. When a fully‑evolved Angel Domain is activated, it can cover an area of several thousand square meters in the air, boosting the soul master's own strength by thirty percent and weakening the enemy by thirty percent.

Currently Qian Renxue can only envelop fifty square meters in the air, granting a ten‑percent boost to the soul master's own strength and a ten‑percent weakening to the opponent.

Within this domain, holy purifying power pervades, continuously dissolving and purifying the enemy's soul power, and can greatly diminish the opponent's sensory abilities.

Qian Daoliu's expression remained calm; he controlled the Angel Domain, letting it spread outward continuously, meticulously probing every corner. The texture of the trees, the undulations of the ground, the hidden auras in the shadows—all could not escape the Angel Domain's perception.

As they delved deeper, the information fed back by the Angel Domain grew increasingly complex.

Qian Daoliu deliberately skirted around those powerful soul beasts, moving swiftly toward the core area, silently contemplating the situations they might encounter next.

Qian Renxue stayed close behind him, daring not a hint of carelessness. In the dangerous and unknown deep layers of the Star Dou Great Forest, they relied on the Angel Domain and, surprisingly, encountered no mishaps, proceeding smoothly to the core area without meeting a single powerful soul beast whose cultivation exceeded forty thousand years.

As they continued deeper, the surrounding soul beasts actually became fewer; the ten‑thousand‑year soul beasts that had been lurking around vanished completely as they pressed onward.

Only some insect chirps and bird calls remained; the excessive tranquility heightened the vigilance of Qian Daoliu and Jin E. Having weathered many storms, they naturally would not relax because of the surrounding quiet.

Only after passing through a dense thicket did the view ahead open up brilliantly. The pupils of the three—Qian Renxue included—almost simultaneously contracted, for before them lay a scene of such indescribable beauty.

The clear small lake made the air more humid; its surface reflected the towering trees surrounding it, and the sunshine bathed everything, rendering all in the water's reflection crystal‑clear.

On one side of this moving picture, an extremely tall figure sat quietly. It was a presence as massive as a mountain; its jet‑black fur glimmered faintly under the weak sunlight. Though its limbs rested on the ground, its shoulder height definitely exceeded seven meters.

If it rose upright, its height would likely be beyond fifteen meters.

If judged solely by appearance, it resembles both a monkey and a chimpanzee; apart from a pair of lantern‑sized eyes that shimmer with amber‑like luster, its entire body is jet‑black.

Yet this massive creature's body is unbelievably robust, to an astonishing degree.

Not only is its body huge, but every part is covered with muscles denser and more terrifying than granite, bulging like small hills; the whole form is a fusion of strength and beauty.

Today, readers have complained that the update speed is too slow, Indeed, because during this period, while writing the book, I discussed many setting issues about Douluo Continent with many readers, As a newcomer writing a book for the first time, I didn't really understand, I cared a lot about everyone's opinions, Furthermore, the author didn't really want to make the protagonist less intelligent, leading to the author's pig brain overloading, directly being persuaded by the brothers, various ways of seizing opportunities, after all, Qian Renxue's forces are too strong, wanting to take whatever they want, but the essence of this book I wrote is actually not about cultivating and seizing opportunities, but rather to torture the simps! so the book will have many transmigrators added, brothers, look at my pen name! Regarding the author seeing Douluo fanfiction and being driven mad on the spot by the simp protagonists, so directly starting this book, nowadays, it's somewhat focused on cultivation practice, but the brothers don't really like to watch it, the author themselves actually also don't like writing it, so later there will be slight adjustments, originally writing this book was just for fun, brothers can see various tropes similar to white lotus, green tea, CPU all kinds of schemes, so after obtaining the second spirit ring, they directly return to the Spirit Hall, the remaining spirit rings can be brushed over with divine-bestowed spirit rings, as for cultivation, it will become more concise later, like Tang San's second spirit ring, that kind of, mainly it's about scheming those transmigrators and Tang San and them! discussing the setting with the brothers almost drove us into deviation, forgot the original purpose of my writing, the purpose is to torture the love-brains! I want to fiercely retaliate against this bunch of dead simps! fuck, they dare to disgust me! the author directly let loose on the spot, after returning to the Spirit Hall, directly start tea! Finally, ask for a wave of tickets, love you! (≧≦)/(End of chapter)
