Chapter 106: Return to the Spirit Hall

Zhou Heng did not leave immediately.

Because he sensed that as he decomposed that portion of the Asura God's Divine Sense, the barrier between heaven and earth was gradually fading, and he had vaguely reconnected with the world's consciousness; he estimated that he would be able to resume communication in a little while.

Zhou Heng radiated his spiritual power, scanning back and forth over the place where Qian Hanmei was last located.

Finally, more than ten meters underground, Zhou Heng found the fragments of the armor Qian Hanmei had previously worn.

These fragments had fallen underground after Qian Hanmei was completely worn away by the Five Elements Melting Furnace.

Among these fragments, there was not only the Divine Power of the Rakshasa God but also a considerable amount of the Asura God's Divine Power.

However, these Divine Powers were being diluted by the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi had become much denser because of this.

Zhou Heng gathered these special fragments together, and a sharp sword intent and killing intent gradually began to sprout.

That was the residue of a portion of the Asura God's power; although it was indeed the Asura God's power, at this moment, it was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Asura God.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Heng gathered these fragments together and barely condensed them into the shape of a Small Sword.

He had already obtained some fragments of authority belonging to the Asura God by decomposing the Asura God's Divine Sense.

If he continued like this, it might not be impossible for him to quietly divide the Asura God's Divine Power and even the Asura God's authority through certain means in the future, taking the opportunity to fleece the Asura God while the Asura God was plotting.

Finally, Zhou Heng searched the ground for a long time, and under the confused gazes of Qian Renxue and the Snake Spear Douluo, he dug out a small, broken metal fragment from a vertical pit twenty meters deep.

Looking at what Zhou Heng had dug out, Qian Renxue's expression changed; she clearly recognized the origin of this fragment.

That was the Divine Artifact fragment that had just formed the illusory sickle and blood-red long sword.

Although Qian Renxue wanted to persuade Zhou Heng to quickly abandon this ominous object because she was very wary of the ominous aura from just now.

But before the words could leave her mouth, Qian Renxue discovered with some sorrow that she seemed to have no reason to persuade Zhou Heng.

She had only acted as a burden the entire time, and had even almost had her mind confused by the enemy during the battle.

What reason did she have, and what ability did she have, to persuade Zhou Heng?

"After returning to the Spirit Hall, I will ask Grandfather.

A sickle-shaped Divine Artifact, an ominous power; perhaps there should be records of it within the Spirit Hall.

But that crazy woman Mei, could it be that she inherited a God Trial?

Otherwise, she shouldn't have the ability to use a Divine Artifact; even if the Divine Artifact was only a fragment, it was not something a human Spirit Master should be able to utilize.

No, it is impossible for her to have inherited a God Trial.

If she had inherited a God Trial, not only would she be unable to hide it from Grandfather's eyes, but it would also be impossible for her to only have the cultivation of a Spirit Douluo.

Even if it were only a fourth or fifth trial, it should have been able to easily push her to the realm of a Title Douluo."

The more Qian Renxue thought, the more confused she felt. Looking at Zhou Heng, she always felt that there were many problems with him.

She really wanted to ask how Zhou Heng's terrifying combat power came about, where his powerful ice and fire attributes came from, and why he knew she had fallen into danger.

But she also knew clearly that she had no reason to ask her savior about such overly sensitive topics.

After finishing the scavenging, Zhou Heng and Qian Renxue quickly traveled toward the Spirit Hall in the center of the continent.

Perhaps because of this experience, Qian Renxue no longer hid her martial soul; after the Six-Winged Angel possessed her, three pairs of huge wings flapped, easily drawing a scorching golden light across the sky.

Zhou Heng condensed water vapor clouds and then condensed emerald green wings behind his back, taking the Snake Spear Douluo with him to fly in the sky.

Along the way, the three of them focused on their journey, and it took about a week before they reached the vicinity of Wuhun City.

Qian Renxue and Zhou Heng waited in the woods outside Wuhun City, and the Snake Spear Douluo took Qian Renxue's token and quietly returned to the Offering Hall located within the Spirit Hall.

Before long, a figure flew directly out from the depths of the Spirit Hall; that figure held a long sword, and powerful holiness and flames were entwined around their body.

Because of being overly excited, the figure in the sky no longer controlled their soul power, and their powerful strength was displayed without reservation.

It was as if a second sun had been hung in the sky of the Spirit Hall.

Seemingly sensing the heartfelt anger of the contemporary High Priest of the Angel God, the Spirit Hall inside Wuhun City also glowed with a faint golden light.

For ten thousand years, the reverence of human Spirit Masters for the Spirit Hall had long made the Spirit Hall different from the mundane.

If the Spirit Hall were not a location but a real living being, the Spirit Hall would have already been able to become a god by relying on this Faith Power.

Golden power surged out from every corner of the Spirit Hall, gathering toward the figure in the sky.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to be shrouded in holiness and flames.

Without a doubt, that huge and holy figure was the Grand Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, the High Priest of this generation of the Angel God, one of the only three Peerless Douluo of the entire era, the Invincible of the Sky, Qian Daoliu, who was known alongside Tang Chen as the twin pillars of the Spirit Master world.

Qian Daoliu's aura enveloped the entire Wuhun City, and countless devout Spirit Masters knelt on the ground under this holy power filled with rage, praying in low voices to the Angel God.

Even many Spirit Masters who did not originally believe in the Angel God felt the faint light emitted by the Angel God at this moment, kneeling down under this powerful force and becoming believers.

Qian Daoliu appeared in front of Qian Renxue and Zhou Heng. Looking at Qian Renxue, whom he had not seen for a long time, tears flowed slightly from the corners of Qian Daoliu's eyes as he held the long sword. Regardless of the outsiders at his side, Qian Daoliu hugged Qian Renxue, his only direct blood relative in the world, and holy soul power continuously poured into Qian Renxue's body.

The Angel Holy Sword used by the Angel God detached from his hand and floated quietly to the side; flames and holiness were attached to this Divine Artifact that had campaigned across the continent with the Angel God, as if forming a scabbard for this Divine Artifact.

Zhou Heng could sense many things from the Angel Holy Sword; just by taking a simple look, Zhou Heng felt as if he could see the history that this holy sword had experienced.

Subjugating evil beasts, repairing spatial rifts, defeating the black dragon, then ascending to the God Realm under the gaze of the masses with the Angel God, and finally being sent back to the Douluo World by the Angel God.

Successive Grand Pontiffs had held the Angel Holy Sword, subjugating one human enemy after another; many blasphemous, evil, and twisted things were slain by generation after generation of Honorary Elders, and even for the ninety-nine-level High Priests, more than one person had sacrificed their life in this process.

Blood, sacrifice, glory, life; the holy sword contained many legends that were popular on the continent, but it also hid many stories that were no longer known.
