Chapter 108: Angel God Trial
As for Qian Renxue, Golden Crocodile Douluo completely regarded her as his own granddaughter.
And as a Title Douluo nearing the end of his life, he was a man of pure heart, with only two things in total: one was to guard the Spirit Hall, and the other was to protect Qian Renxue well.
Upon hearing the brief report from Snake Spear Douluo just now, Golden Crocodile Douluo simply could not hold back; after his Martial Soul Avatar, he grabbed Snake Spear Douluo by the neck with one claw, lifting him up like a little chick, and nearly snapped his neck right then and there.
After confirming up and down that Qian Renxue's condition was fine, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Zhou Heng, who was standing to the side.
Before Golden Crocodile Douluo could even speak.
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I almost didn't make it back." After returning to the Spirit Hall and standing before the elders she hadn't seen in a long time, Qian Renxue, who had been acting relatively composed the whole way, finally could not suppress her inner emotions and broke down in tears.
Before the statue of the Angel God, the group, whose average age was around a hundred, surrounded Qian Renxue; the various Honorary Elders and Qian Daoliu hurriedly comforted her and listened carefully to her tearful account.
Before they had even finished hearing what Qian Renxue had to say, only halfway through, the hot-tempered Lion Douluo jumped up with a howl, his eyes turning red with rage, and the soul power on his body radiated outward along with his emotions.
To the side, although Golden Crocodile Douluo did not speak, parts of his hands had already completely transformed into crocodile foreclaws, and his originally aged body had swelled by several times; although he kept his soul power restrained within his body under his control, the level of danger and anger he exuded was no lower than that of Lion Douluo.
As Qian Renxue revealed the perverted ideas of those two crazy women, all the Honorary Elders could not help but summon their martial souls; the Panlong Staffs of the two Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo, touched each other at some point, and the Spirit Soul of the Evil-Breaking Dragon sealed within them roared inside the staffs.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Zhou Heng, who was standing to the side, recalling what Qian Renxue had said just now.
"Xue'er just said that you are not even 13 years old this year, right? How do you already have a sixth Soul Ring?"
"No, no, that's not right either. Even if you have a sixth Soul Ring and are a Soul Emperor, how did you defeat an eighty-eighth-level Spirit Douluo? You didn't even release your Spirit Beast."
"Release your martial soul and let me see it."
Facing Golden Crocodile Douluo's request, Zhou Heng released his martial soul; the moment the Element Spirit Tree martial soul was released, the attributes of the Five Elements were triggered instantly, followed by the surging aura of Ultimate Life.
By now, Zhou Heng's Element Spirit Tree martial soul was a genuine God-level Martial Soul; once released, all the Honorary Elders felt their martial souls being suppressed, with the fire-attributed Lion Douluo and the ice-attributed Guangling Douluo suffering the most severe suppression.
Although these two Title Douluo had powerful soul power, they were still quite a distance away from having extreme attributes.
Moreover, Zhou Heng not only possessed the extreme attributes corresponding to theirs, but even possessed extreme attributes that could restrain them.
Under this dual restraint, both Lion Douluo and Guangling Douluo felt a long-absent tightness in their chests.
Six deep black Soul Rings rotated at Zhou Heng's feet; such a terrifying configuration left everyone silent. Even though they had long known about the miraculous abilities of Zhou Heng's Battle Instrument Martial Soul, the people in the Offering Hall were silent for a moment after seeing the six black Soul Rings at Zhou Heng's feet.
The Honorary Elders all looked at Zhou Heng strangely, as if they were examining something peculiar.
After sensing the complex variety of attributes within Zhou Heng's body, the Angel Holy Sword floating in mid-air also flew over.
If Zhou Heng's Extreme Fire and Life attributes could make the Angel Holy Sword feel pleasure, then the remaining three attributes—Extreme Ice, Ultimate Gold, and Ultimate Earth—were all within the range of what the Angel Holy Sword disliked.
The Angel Holy Sword circled Zhou Heng several times as if inspecting him, and finally, the blade trembled slightly, emitting a low humming sound.
The blade lit up with golden light, injecting it into the statue of the Angel God; the Faith Power within the statue was triggered by this radiance, and after brewing for a moment, it transformed into a beam of light, fired from the eyes of the Angel God statue.
It passed through Zhou Heng's eyes and went straight into his Spirit Sea.
Zhou Heng could feel that it was a gentle power of the Sacred and Light Attributes.
It was not only of extremely high quality but also of a considerable amount, far exceeding the ordinary Immortal Herbs Zhou Heng had encountered in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This power was very special; Zhou Heng could integrate this power into his Element Spirit Tree martial soul, allowing it to gain Sacred and Light attributes.
But this transformation was not mandatory; the energy was just sitting there, and Zhou Heng could also choose not to integrate it, but instead decompose it and convert it into basic soul power to absorb.
Zhou Heng thought about it for a moment and chose to integrate it.
The Sacred and Light attributes of the Angel God were not ordinary Sacred and Light attributes; they already belonged to the category of Extreme Power.
Integrating this bit of attribute into his martial soul would not only elevate the quality of his martial soul to a higher level but could even bring many hidden benefits.
After integrating this attribute, if Zhou Heng were to walk around the Spirit Hall, many people would likely mistake him for a direct descendant of the Spirit Hall.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Heng slowly sat cross-legged and absorbed this pure gift.
Even Qian Daoliu, who had served the Angel God for decades, had never seen such an unprecedented situation.
After repeatedly apologizing to the Angel God, Gan Daoliu leaned in close to Chen Ming, feeling the complex yet powerful martial soul of Chen Ming.
Within the Element Spirit Tree martial soul, the power of the Sacred and Light was rapidly absorbed by the Element Spirit Tree martial soul.
The Element Spirit Tree martial soul, which was originally colorful due to the addition of the Five Elements, gained even more brilliance.
Sacred flames ignited on Zhou Heng's body, and the power of Light stimulated the Life Energy of the Element Spirit Tree martial soul; the two powers rapidly enhanced the strength of the Extreme Fire and Ultimate Life.
When Zhou Heng completed the attribute fusion and woke up again, Qian Daoliu already had his face pressed close to his, looking at Zhou Heng with a conflicted expression.
Just as Zhou Heng wanted to open his mouth to ask what Qian Daoliu was thinking, Qian Daoliu spoke first.
"Little Heng, I see that you have a connection with my Angel God lineage; would you like to try the inheritance of our Angel God lineage?"
The Honorary Elders all understood what the "inheritance" Qian Daoliu spoke of actually was, and their gazes toward Zhou Heng became respectful.
The Spirit Hall had many inheritances, but the only one that could be called the Angel God inheritance by Qian Daoliu was the Angel God Trial.
Zhou Heng also understood this principle, and furthermore, based on his contributions, Zhou Heng was indeed qualified to attempt the Angel God Trial.
Not only was he a disciple of the Seven Consecrators, but he had also saved Qian Renxue, the current successor of the Angel God; for this contribution alone, Zhou Heng could participate in the Angel God Trial to improve his strength.
