Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 645: The Ninth Test Begins

"So, Qian Renxue, bravely embark on the journey, remember your ideals, be determined, and never give up until you reach your goal. Use your strong will to seek the path of justice, let the light shine in all the dark corners, and judge all the evil. You may be confused and hesitant along the way, but don't forget your original intention, so that you will have unlimited motivation to move forward towards your goal, and the sacred will be with you."

“But remember, what this world needs is a living pioneer and navigator, not a cold corpse or an ethereal spirit…”

The blood that had been oozing out flowed into her body along with the golden water, and the wounds on her soul bones healed instantly. Qian Renxue felt like she was in a wonderful state, just like people sitting next to a roaring stove in the cold winter, drinking a sip of freshly brewed hot tea, feeling warm and relaxed all over. However, her body would not obey her, but her consciousness could feel everything around her very clearly, just like a person who had woken up but could not move.

"The sacred armor was originally a gift I gave to Yu Ling, but I failed to protect her. Yes, I was selfish. The sacred power comes from the piety in the hearts of all living beings. I failed them... But now, I want to make up for it with everything I have. Qian Renxue, it chose to believe in you. I think you should have the power to change this world."

The soul bones, or the fragments of the divine armor, melted into a golden liquid that was thicker and more dazzling than the golden water, covering Qian Renxue's body.

Then it began to shape, a set of golden armor fit her body perfectly, and all the golden water flows completely into her body and armor.

"Goodbye, Qian Renxue..."

The woman then made a prayer gesture, and her body turned into starlight that gathered towards the chest of Qian Renxue God Armor and merged into the last bit of starlight.

A golden vortex formed on the breastplate, and Qian Renxue opened her eyes at this time. She touched her chest with some disbelief.

Everything around returned to its original state, including the stones and dried-up springs. Only the golden water in the chest was slowly turning, and this sacred power was almost infinite!
"Eternal and inexhaustible spring water, Qian Renxue swears to you that justice and holiness will be spread to every corner I see, and I will never give up until I achieve my goal!"

Feeling the inexhaustible power of the divine armor and the eternally burning flame of the sword of justice, Qian Renxue felt that she had reached the edge of a breakthrough. She had clearly cultivated to the ninety-ninth level of the peerless realm, so this breakthrough...

The space shook again, and this time nine huge stone slabs fell from the sky, one standing in each of her eight directions, surrounding her, and another one slowly floating in the air above her head...

Suddenly, the outer layer of the stone slab fell off, emitting a dazzling light. When Qian Renxue reluctantly opened her eyes, the carvings and words on the stone slab surprised her...

Courage... determination... original intention... will... judgment... light... holiness... justice!
The carvings were naturally paintings with angels and words as the theme, which fit the theme very well, but what did it mean?
The stone slab above his head was still pitch black, without any change...

"You finally got the sword, so why didn't you take it the first time?"

The stone slab actually made a sound! This voice... She was very familiar with it, the guy who had been hiding in her mind... But thanks to its reminder, she unexpectedly realized justice...

"I couldn't take it the first time even if I wanted to, but you brought me here, what do you mean?"

Qian Renxue held the holy sword in her hand and looked around vigilantly...

'What do you mean? If I say this is the meaning you have learned and the test you have passed along the way, what will you do?'

What? Qian Renxue looked at the eight cards around her in surprise, then she quickly calmed down...

"so what…"

"How is it? If this is considered a god test, then you have already passed the first eight levels. You are just one step away from becoming a god."

The mysterious voice was slightly relieved and excited, but Qian Renxue chuckled and said, "Becoming a god? That's not my ambition. If I don't become a god, I can't achieve my ideal and my goal?" "Huh? Don't you really want to become a god?"

"My goal... has never been to achieve some kind of godhood..." Qian Renxue looked at the holy sword dimly, and the reflection in the holy sword seemed extremely sad and lonely.

"But now that you've come this far, it's not up to you whether you can become a god or not!"

The stone slab opened like a door, and an irresistible suction force sucked Qian Renxue into the stone slab. The stone slab seemed to come alive and began to emit a faint light similar to the other stone slabs.

"The ninth test... is nothing more than confirming your own heart. You should fill in the content yourself! Hum..."

A red-gold figure appeared where Qian Renxue was standing, so bright that one couldn't even see her face clearly...

'Courage, determination, original intention, will, judgment, light, holiness, justice, you are lifted up to godhood by these, but you will also be restricted by these... pathetic person... God does not need these things.'

The human-shaped shadow shining with red gold lowered his head, looked at the dried-up spring, and slowly shook his head.

"Eternal spring of water... I wonder if you can extinguish the angry fire burning in the stars?"

Then the figure disappeared into the ninth stone slab, and at this time Qian Renxue finally fell to the ground after experiencing a dizzying spin.

"here it is…"

At this moment, Qian Renxue was surprised to find that this was not the Sky Secret Realm? She had completed her first test here!
And I was standing on the highest platform, where the throne of that existence still remained.

"Do you still have the courage to embark on this journey?"

Just as Qian Renxue was wondering, a voice that couldn't be more familiar came from behind her.

"Of course, nothing can stop me!"

At this moment, she turned around in shock, only to find that it was her former self! And her perspective suddenly changed to her former self...

Looking at myself sitting beside the throne, with a look of horror and a weathered look, but still with a bright light in my eyes, I don't know why, but I felt relieved.

Looking at the familiar stairs in front of me, is this another climb? Climbing to the top is just to meet myself?
For some reason, the stairs in front of me seemed a little illusory, everything in front of me became nothingness, and under the stairs was a bottomless abyss... It was dark and terrifying...

The first test was completed by Kuroyuki on her behalf, even though she was actually herself. It turns out that taking shortcuts to complete the test will eventually lead to paying the price...

And now, what do I have to fear?

She stepped onto the stairs firmly. There was a roaring sound around her, and she stood on the first step.
