Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

The moment the pillar of light dissipated, the entire Starry Sky Forest fell into a brief silence.

When the moonlight shone down again, the figure in the center of the altar had completely transformed—Ye Guyi was suspended in the void nearly three meters above the ground, with twelve dazzling wings of light spreading out like clouds hanging from the sky, each feather flowing with a sacred radiance like liquid gold.

The purple-gold patterns on her armor were refined by pure divine power, transforming into a light white-gold armor, with a ribbon condensed from the power of faith wrapped around her waist.

His face was shrouded in a hazy halo, and as his pupils opened, the darkness receded like a tide wherever his gaze fell.

"Is this the complete version of the Angel God?"

Cain appeared beside Xu Cheng at some point, his blood-red pupils reflecting the humanoid sun, "Even more powerful than Qian Renxue's divine armor in the records..."

She suddenly fell silent, because Ye Guyi's gaze swept across the area, and even just being touched by his peripheral vision caused a burning stinging sensation on the girl's skin.

She raised her snow-white arm, as if a vampire were afraid of the light.

"They're naturally incompatible."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly and raised his hand to cover his mouth.

Cain finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the second "sun" in the sky with lingering fear.

This is God in the truest sense.

Even the holy light it emitted almost killed him.

The two initially didn't get along, after all, their martial soul characteristics were inherently opposed...

At this moment, Ye Guyi is being infused with vast knowledge by the newly formed divine essence. Although he is the one who has restored the "Angel Godhood", it is mixed with the knowledge of the gods.

Unconsciously, she raised her right hand, and as her five fingers spread out, countless golden threads emerged from the void—these were the channels of faith scattered throughout the continent.

Xu Cheng activated the divine spark of the Temple of Destruction, his vision suddenly rising to encompass the entire Douluo Planet, where he witnessed a scene unlike anything he had seen before.

The other end of these threads connects to millions of points of light: villages she saved on the border of the Sun Moon Empire, slums in the underground district of Mingdu, and even purified soul beast groups on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Each point of light was sending her a faint wish, which gathered to form the foundation supporting her divine status.

"As expected, the power of will to become a god is theoretically feasible!" Xu Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

It can be said that Uncle Ye's painstaking efforts were not in vain.

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, Ye Guyi finally gained complete control of the divine power.

She withdrew her aura, landed slowly, and her twelve wings folded and hung down behind her.

As she walked toward Xu Cheng, the sacred lotus blossoms beneath her feet automatically formed a divine path, and the fallen leaves swept up by the night wind transformed into golden butterflies that danced gracefully when they approached within ten meters of her.

"The sacred flame is my robe, and faith is my crown."

Xu Cheng looked at Ye Guyi, who was standing three steps away, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Is this considered creating a god?
I'd say it's barely acceptable.

However, looking at the angel god he had created with his own hands, he still felt a great sense of accomplishment...

The divine markings on Ye Guyi's forehead were gradually fading, but the sun in the depths of his pupils still revealed an essence that transcended the mortal realm.

She paused for a moment, her voice carrying a cool quality: "My lord."

This title made Xu Cheng raise an eyebrow; he hadn't expected that a deity would still use such a respectful form of address.

After all, many people become a different person once they possess great power, or rather... they are blinded by that power.

“I will go with the Lord to the ancestral land of angels.”

Ye Guyi's long, narrow, beautiful eyes swept over the crowd around her.

The Crimson King and the others lowered their heads respectfully, but Gu Yuena alone frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said nothing more.

This is the oppressive power of the gods.

The once ferocious beasts of the Starry Sky Forest, who used to be so arrogant and domineering, are now as docile as sheep, their expressions respectful and humble.

……

In the Sunset Forest of the Douling Empire.

The night seemed to be cleaved in two by a golden light.

Leaf Bone Robe's six wings unfurled in the moonlight, each feather shimmering with a liquid gold-like radiance.

She stood at the end of the ancient altar, her fingertips lightly tracing the mottled stone pillars, and the long-forgotten angel totems seemed to be awakened, one by one lighting up golden patterns.

This is the temple left behind by the Hall of Offering after the destruction of the Spirit Hall. It is hoped that future generations with the Angel Spirit can inherit the ruins. It was also left by Qian Daoliu, the former master of the Hall of Offering.

Xu Cheng expended considerable effort to find this place.

“My lord, please come with me.” She turned around, her pupils gleaming with eagerness.

Xu Cheng's double pupils narrowed slightly.

Something seems off...

It's not that he's overly sensitive, but when the secret chamber and the Angelic Martial Soul are combined, it feels like there might be some incredible buff that could be activated.

But he still kept up, his military boots crushing the gravel on the ground.

The stone wall closed silently behind the two of them.

The secret chamber is hexagonal, with each wall inlaid with reliefs of angels, making it appear magnificent.

Sudden.

It's at the end of the corridor.

Ye Guyi suddenly raised her hand, and all six wings trembled simultaneously.

The next instant, countless golden threads suddenly appeared from the void and instantly wrapped around Xu Cheng's wrists—the "Faith Shackles" she had obtained from the Temple of Destruction.

The other end of those silk threads is connected to the power of the wishes of believers all over the continent, and even Limit Douluo find it difficult to break free.

"What?" Xu Cheng's lips twitched.

No way?
“…Let’s verify.” She leaned close to his ear, her breath carrying the caramel scent of sacred fire. “Do you know what the final hurdle was when I participated in the ‘Divine Trial’?”

Xu Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

“That’s right, it’s you! I failed the test…” Ye Guyi’s usually cold voice now carried a hint of tenderness.

Although she was repairing a divine position, due to the rules of the divine realm, she temporarily participated in a divine test. The long period of time inside the golden pillar of light was the test from the Old Angel God.

"I..." Xu Cheng was about to speak.

But in the next instant, the stone platform suddenly tilted!

Countless threads of faith stretched taut, suspending the two people in mid-air in the secret chamber, and then slowly wrapped them into a cocoon.

Ye Guyi spoke softly.

"I can finally... have you."

……

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the divine crystal at the top of the secret chamber, Ye Guyi was curled up inside Xu Cheng's military uniform coat.

The twelve-winged phantom behind her had not yet dissipated, and a few strands of gray hair scorched by the holy fire were still wrapped around her fingertips. What followed was the intense pleasure of the previous night, which had left both of them somewhat mesmerized.

"How do you feel?" Xu Cheng played with the beauty's soft hair.

With a smile on his face.

My first time with God...

It really feels different.

Ye Guyi didn't speak, her golden eyes fixed on him, her eyelashes fluttering. Suddenly, she leaned in and bit Xu Cheng's neck.

The moment her fangs pierced the skin, she transferred a drop of divine blood into Xu Cheng's artery.

Xu Cheng's double pupils instantly turned pure gold, and wherever his gaze fell, all the reliefs in the secret chamber came to life as battle angels kneeling in worship.

"It feels good." She licked away the bloodstains on Xu Cheng's neck, hugged him tightly like a kitten, and said in a hoarse voice, "It confirms that you... are qualified to be my master."

"This is..." Xu Cheng looked surprised. "This is a battle angel I gave birth to with the power of faith." Ye Guyi licked her lips and revealed a lazy smile. "Didn't you always say that you wanted to be the emperor of mankind and rule the entire universe? This is the angel legion I prepared for you."

Dozens of battle angels, wielding sharp swords and radiating fierce fighting spirit, all possessed combat power close to that of a Limit Douluo.

And most importantly.

These angel legions can absorb the power of faith to strengthen themselves...

"The Angel Legion?" Xu Cheng smiled.

So it seems that sacrificing myself last night wasn't a bad deal after all...

"Gentlemen, isn't it over yet?"

The secret room was kicked open, and Gu Yuena's wary eyes swept around.

The moment she kicked open the door to the secret room, her pupils dilated in shock.

Yesterday's aloof angel is now wrapped around the man's waist with her wings, and half of a broken shackle of faith is fastened to her fair ankle.

The surrounding mess made the Silver Dragon King grit her teeth. After stomping her foot, a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"That's quite a show! Humph!"

……

The Royal Duel Arena of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The surrounding seats were almost full.

Thousands of people surrounded the entire venue.

In the very center of the "stage", two figures stand facing each other.

Ji Juechen remained expressionless. The Sword of Annihilation in his hand gleamed with a grayish-black light, and the space around the sword was slightly distorted—this was an anomaly caused by the fusion of a level nine soul tool and ultimate sword intent.

He made rapid progress in those three years.

I also changed my sword while I was at it.

It can't really be called a replacement, since this Sword of Annihilation was forged by Wang Dong'er, the Empire's only spirit blacksmith, based on the Sword of Destruction.

"please."

Three years later, he seemed to become increasingly silent.

The three simple words pierced the clamor like a sword's edge. The stands were packed with the Soul Masters of Mingde Hall, and even Jing Hongchen was sitting in the VIP section, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrest.

This duel, which was supposed to be an internal rehearsal, turned into a grand event due to the clash between two level 91 titled Douluo.

Just like the grand academy tournament held by the Sun Moon Empire three years ago.

The event invited the strongest individuals from across the continent.

Come and see, and participate...

Of course, more importantly, it was a chance to show off our strength to these newly enrolled disciples, much like the so-called Sea God Pavilion matchmaking event at Shrek Academy.

And so, the two of them were pulled up...

Ma Xiaotao's long crimson hair suddenly burst into phoenix flames, and as nine spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, the air was scorched and smelled burnt.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she smiled gently with her exquisite face.

"Old Ji, you're pretty confident, aren't you? Come and taste my savage fire!"

A dangerous smile curved her lips, and fiery wings unfurled behind her, turning half the arena blood red.

"Wow!"

A commotion instantly erupted in the audience.

Countless freshmen of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy watched this scene in shock.

The 21-year-old senior student was exuding an aura that was equivalent to that of a Title Douluo!
This is a level that only the most powerful elders in their sect can reach.

Ji Juechen lightly touched the ground with the tip of his sword. The seemingly casual movement caused the specially made alloy floor of the dueling arena to crack with spiderweb-like patterns—this was the "withering" characteristic inherent to the Sword of Annihilation, which could even corrode non-living things with its sword energy.

The first sword strike came without warning.

Ji Juechen's figure was still standing in the same place, but his sword energy had already penetrated thirty meters and was heading straight for Ma Xiaotao's throat.

The phoenix suddenly closed its wings.

With a clang, Ma Xiaotao used her burning arm armor to block the attack, sparks flying everywhere.

She staggered back three steps, and fine cracks appeared on her level nine soul-guided arm guards, but an even more intense fighting spirit ignited in the beauty's eyes.

"Sword Dao Domain - Silence!"

Ji Juechen's white hair suddenly turned translucent, and his entire body resembled an ice sculpture. Centered on him, the temperature within a radius of fifty meters plummeted to absolute zero, and even the soul-guiding lamps were frozen into ice shards that fell to the ground.

This is his self-created soul skill, an absolute domain formed by fusing sword intent with the decay attribute of a level nine soul tool.

A decrease in temperature does not necessarily mean that it has the property of ice.

It could also be an aura of annihilation.

Ma Xiaotao's lips curled up.

Instead of retreating, she advanced, her seventh spirit ring lighting up: "Martial Soul True Form - Phoenix Reborn in Flames!" Amidst the towering pillar of fire, her body elementalized, transforming into a pure fire energy form. Ice and fire collided in the center of the arena, and the evaporating white mist instantly enveloped the entire dueling ground.

Ji Juechen closed his eyes, swung his sword, and the Sword of Annihilation flew out of his hand, turning into a stream of light that pierced straight into Ma Xiaotao's heart.

"Well done!"

Ma Xiaotao opened her arms to welcome him.

The moment the sword tip pierced her fiery body, she activated her eighth divinely bestowed soul skill, "Phoenix Rebirth," and her entire body exploded into a rain of fire.

This is an extremely risky tactic—using the Martial Soul True Body to take the attack head-on in exchange for a chance to get close.

Even Jing Hongchen's lips twitched.

He muttered under his breath, "They're all classmates, why did they have to hit me so hard..."

As the fiery rain reformed, Ma Xiaotao appeared behind Ji Juechen, her burning hand slashing towards the back of his neck. In the nick of time, without turning his head, Ji Juechen grabbed back, and the Sword of Annihilation, which should have been in the distance, appeared out of thin air in his palm!
The shockwave from the collision of the two blades shattered the protective shield of the dueling arena.

Ma Xiaotao's flames were constantly eroded by the Annihilation Sword Qi, but her sixth soul ring suddenly lit up: "Phoenix Roaring Strike!"

The sound waves mixed with flames burst forth in a fan shape; this is one of the few fire-attribute soul skills that can attack the spirit.

Blood seeped from Ji Juechen's ears and nose, but his movements became even faster.

His ninth spirit ring finally shone: "Annihilation - Withering of All Things!"

Countless eerie blue runes appeared on the sword's blade, freezing even flames in its wake.

It's not solidification caused by low temperatures, but rather a conceptual "end of life."

Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit true form began to disintegrate.

In the critical moment, she did something unusual—suddenly retracting all her flames and transforming back into human form to land on the ground.

The sword energy, having lost its target, swept past her head, tearing a hundred-meter-long gash in the soul guidance barrier behind her.

"I give up." She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled. "If we keep fighting, Xu Cheng will start worrying about the repair costs again."

Ji Juechen paused in his action of sheathing his sword.

He looked at his left shoulder—a fiery palm print had appeared out of nowhere, slowly burning away the protective sword energy.

"A draw." Ji Juechen rarely smiled. "Your fire can burn through my annihilation."

After three seconds of silence, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

The skills displayed by the two young Title Douluos far surpassed those of ordinary Soul Master duels, especially Ji Juechen's final move, "All Things Wither," which even shocked the ninth-level Soul Masters in the VIP seats.

As expected of Prince Xu Cheng's partner... (End of Chapter)
