Chapter 177: Defeating Qian Renxue

"Your cultivation is far inferior to hers; even with the same item, the power released is completely different—don't think I'll be afraid!" Qian Renxue condensed the Angel's Sacred Sword imbued with Solar Divine Power and slashed straight down.

The crimson-gold sword qi was like plowing open the entire earth, and that scorching crimson-gold light, at the instant it collided with the ground.

There was no sound, yet the entire earth was torn open by a huge rift, the air completely twisted, countless dust and stones melting in that terrifying Solar Divine Power.

Bai Yuan operated the five elemental formations of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth that remained around him, converting vast amounts of heavenly and earthly power into pure metal, wood, water, fire, and earth energies.

Consequently, the five energies, following Bai Yuan's internal spiritual qi, all surged into the Five Elements Array, causing its five-colored light to blaze brightly.

For a moment, a five-colored Haoyang sun appeared in the heavens and earth.

Originally, the world had grown dim because the sun favored only Qian Renxue, but under the illumination of this five-colored Haoyang sun, it became dreamlike and illusory.

In an instant, the completely distorted space, the space scorched to destruction by intense heat, and the dust and stones that had vaporized in a flash, all at this moment fell into a state of solidification.

They ceased their changes.

Fortunately, at this moment it became a painting.

Only that crimson-gold sword qi remained, carrying extreme heat, slashing toward Bai Yuan and toward the array emitting five-colored light.

Five Elements Primordial Formation, Yin-Yang reversal!

The five-colored light between heaven and earth swiftly converged, a half-black, half-white Taiji diagram emerging from the Five Elements Array and enveloping Bai Yuan.

At that moment, heaven and earth also turned half black and half white.

Immediately afterward, the positions of black and white swapped; Qian Renxue only felt her vision blur, and the terrifying crimson-gold sword qi she had slashed arrived at her chest in an instant.

"How is that possible!" Qian Renxue, in a panic, could only block the crimson-gold Angel's Sacred Sword horizontally before her, directly withstanding her own full-power strike!

"Boom!"

How could a frantic block withstand one's own full-force strike?

Fortunately, the attributes were similar, and she had a divine artifact set protecting her body, so this strike upon Qian Renxue's delicate form caused only a wound.

In the instant she was flung backward, a mouthful of crimson-gold blood spurted from the corner of Qian Renxue's mouth.

Hard to imagine.

A deity against a mortal suffered a serious injury from a single move, and it was inflicted by her own full-power strike, having gathered solar power.

However, this was merely the beginning of Bai Yuan's offensive; after Qian Renxue was flung away, the half-black, half-white heaven and earth returned to five-colored.

At the same time, Qian Renxue shockingly discovered that the Five Elements Array, wrapped in brilliant five-colored light like a blazing sun, had somehow arrived above her head.

In an instant, the Five Elements Formation pressed down fiercely!

Qian Renxue hastily raised the Angel's Sacred Sword with both hands to block upward, feeling that the five-colored blazing sun seemed to have become a divine mountain of unknown weight.

Under such terrifying pressure, the earth beneath Qian Renxue's feet shattered in the blink of an eye, and she herself was forced down to one knee.

"Five Elements Severance!" Bai Yuan's calm voice reached Qian Renxue's ears, making her body tremble; immediately she felt that everything before her eyes had turned five-colored.

From Bai Yuan's perspective, one would see that as he spoke, the five-colored hues between heaven and earth vanished, leaving only a five-colored light sphere enveloping Qian Renxue.

Hard to imagine, this is a battle between a mortal and a deity.

Even in this battle, Qian Renxue only drew her sword once from start to finish; she didn't even get the chance to unleash her strongest divine technique.

After the first move was suppressed, the second move completely subdued her, leaving no room for resistance whatsoever.

This is what real combat is like: if you don't unleash your ultimate move right at the start, the opponent will strike you off guard, and you'll likely be instantly killed by a combo they don't even bother to explain.

As for the Five Elements Severance of the Five Elements Primordial Formation,

Its main function is to decompose matter.

In other words, if Bai Yuan wished, he could decompose Qian Renxue's flesh within a few breaths, even completely dismantling her set of divine artifacts.

But Bai Yuan did not do that; he instead used its other function—to decompose the divine power within Qian Renxue's body, severing her strength and leaving her with no possibility of escape.

There's no way; Qian Renxue cannot die now.

You may say she's ungrateful, but she simply cannot die!

Because once she returns to the Divine Realm, letting Tang San and Bi Bi Dong completely become the masters of the Divine Realm on the Douluo Continent, it would likely take only a few days before a God King war erupts.

By then the Douluo Star will collapse, and they will all have to die!

Bai Yuan glanced at the five-colored light sphere before him.

Feeling that Qian Renxue's divine power had been completely severed, and that she had utterly lost the ability to resist in his grasp, Bai Yuan suddenly waved his hand, and the rich five-colored light separated from that sphere.

In an instant, heaven and earth became five-colored once again.

At the same time, one could faintly see that, even without her divine power, Qian Renxue was still resisting there, striving to overturn the five-colored blazing sun upon her.

"Na'er, how should we deal with her?" Bai Yuan suddenly spoke.

This expanse of heaven and earth is isolated by the power of the Five Elements Array.

Even a God King, even using Qian Renxue's divine status as a medium, could not see through this in the Divine Realm, nor could they know what transpired inside.

Gu Yue Na let out a helpless sigh beside Bai Yuan's ear, then retorted, "You ask me, how would I know what to do?"

The heavens and earth returned to silence.

Bai Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Then should I kill her?"

Gu Yue Na said, "If you want to die together with me, Mu Junwu, Xiao Yu, and your disciple's daughters, I have no objection."

"Then give me some advice!" Bai Yuan only felt his head swell like a bucket, completely at a loss as to what to do with Qian Renxue.

Killing her would cause them all to die.

Letting her go, judging by her previous behavior,

she would surely not let Bai Yuan rest until she had her way.

If she were continually imprisoned here,

what difference would that make compared to outright killing her?

Gu Yue Na did not answer Bai Yuan; she merely sighed again and countered, "Bai Yuan, haven't you noticed her abnormality?"

"Abnormality? Was she tampered with during the divine inheritance?" Bai Yuan blinked, sounding somewhat incredulous.

The inheritance of the god's position could actually be tampered with?

Bai Yuan's gaze at Qian Renxue became somewhat pitying.

But Gu Yue Na denied it, saying: "It doesn't count as tampering."

This intensified the doubt in Bai Yuan's eyes.

To be honest, he didn't see anything abnormal about Qian Renxue; if he had to say there was something, it would be that her courage had grown much larger.

The remaining changes, as she said.

It is simply recognizing one's own heart.

One must sleep with Bai Yuan.
