Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 511 Fluctuations in the Divine Realm

Qian Renxue scratched her head: "My holy sword partner actually ascended to the realm of gods a long time ago, because it was passed down from my ancestors. It has a telepathic connection with me, and we can have simple exchanges."

That's true. This holy sword probably existed a very long time ago. It once ascended to the God Realm with the first angel, and was later passed down to the Douluo Continent as a legacy.

The two artifacts sensed each other, and because Qian Renxue and the God of Emotions were at odds, their weapons also became hostile towards each other. They had just announced their names to each other, just like two powerful figures revealing their identities before a duel.

"This thing called the Morning Dew Blade is a half-step super artifact from the God of Emotions in the God Realm, and its grade is not low."

Just as Qian Renxue was explaining the origin of this thing to everyone, the two artifacts actually started fighting on their own.

Although no one was controlling them, they all wanted to break free from Xue Di and Qian Renxue's grasp and attack each other.

"My goodness, this is truly an eye-opener." Shen Yuanyi stared in disbelief as a ball of fire and a ball of ice collided with each other in mid-air.

The Snow Empress's expression was strange. She said, "This half-step super artifact actually has its own consciousness?"

Actually, this was because when Rong Nianbing used a wisp of his soul to descend to Douluo Continent, plucked and disposed of the Ice God Lotus, he was roared at by the God of Destruction during his return to the God Realm.

In his moment of desperation, he left a tiny bit of his divine consciousness on the Morning Dew Blade.

"Refine it for him." Qian Renxue said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, the Angelic Holy Sword immediately flashed with a brilliant light. After passing through the hands of the little angel and the little devil, it had displayed two different forms.

At this moment, a holy sword, one side golden-red and the other dark blue, pierced directly into the Morning Dew Blade.

"This is unbelievable." Not only was Shen Yuanyi stunned, but even Long Xiaoyao, who was taking the opportunity to hug Ye Xishui, couldn't help but complain.

"laugh--"

Crimson gold flames and ghostly blue flames were simultaneously infused into this near-divine artifact, but since the opponent was of the ultimate ice attribute, it was also releasing ice elemental resistance.

Xue Di's expression was a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Hyotei asked.

"This, this Morning Dew Blade wants to borrow my spiritual power... It said that if I can help it through this crisis, then it will acknowledge me as its master." Xue Di was a little amused and exasperated.

"It's probably fake." Qian Renxue shrugged. "If it really had its own consciousness, then it couldn't give such an explanation... It's like if the Angelic Martial Soul were gone, then no one in this world should be able to resonate with the Angelic Holy Sword. Except... the Little Devil."

Xue Di nodded, and then began to draw the ultimate ice energy from the Morning Dew Blade in reverse.

"Buzz—" The Morning Dew Blade seemed to emit a mournful sound.

The Snow Empress is now on the path to godhood, and with her nearly 700,000 years of actual cultivation, the mermaid princess's head soul bone, faith power, and so on, her divine sense has also appeared along with the mark between her eyebrows.

Most importantly, the Snow Empress once intended to cultivate a dual-soul core that complemented Yin and Yang; her second soul core was not of spatial attribute, but rather of spiritual power. This is also related to her former status and abilities.

For example, the Snow Empress's Three Absolute Techniques, particularly the Emperor's Palm, emphasizes precision in its strikes, as it only becomes effective when it hits the opponent. Similarly, given her status as the Empress of the Far North, without powerful spiritual energy, she likely wouldn't be able to subdue the entire Far North with her imperial might. Although her spiritual energy isn't currently at the Spirit Domain Realm level like Qian Renxue's, it possesses quality, whereas the lingering resentment within the Morning Dew Blade is merely a wisp, perhaps even less powerful than the remnant soul within the Soul-Capturing Tablet.

Under the combined suppression of the Ice and Snow Emperors, that last vestige of will was gradually worn away.

"It was really tough." Xue Di grasped the Morning Dew Blade that had fallen back into her hand. "What a pity, if only it were a sword."

"It's alright, I've already mastered a little bit of the art of forging divine artifacts," Ye Xishui said. "You can use this for now, and if there's an opportunity later, I can forge you a new sword."

-

Meanwhile, in the realm of gods...

The God of Destruction looked coldly at Rong Nianbing.

"God of Emotions, what do you have to say now?"

Rong Nianbing took a deep breath: "Destruction. That half-step super artifact will be obtained by someone destined for it, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to give it to that soul beast that's rebuilding its cultivation?"

"What, are you implying that this sword is yours?" the God of Destruction said coldly. "As for the soul beast's true form, that's unimportant. Our divine realm isn't without deities who have transformed into beast forms, is it?"

It turns out that the reason why the Snow Empress was able to erase that trace of will so quickly was because of the Destruction God King's "kind advice".

The key issue is that Rong Nianbing dares not disobey. If he forcibly leaves his wisp of divine consciousness there, his position as the God of Emotions will likely have two successors.

After all, he had already intended to make "retrieving the Morning Dew Blade" a test for the successor. However, Huo Yuhao was still too weak and not yet ready to begin the divine test.

Therefore, just like how Shura used the Killing God Domain to select successors in the City of Slaughter, if Xue Di refines away that wisp of divine consciousness, then she will automatically undergo the test of the God of Emotions. At that point, Huo Yuhao would be dead for good.

Most importantly, Rong Nianbing dared not say that the knife was his Morning Dew Knife, otherwise wouldn't that confirm the fact that he had interfered with the lower realm before?

Rong Nianbing forced a smile: "The far north is truly a wonderful place. Besides the Ice God's Heart left behind by the former Ice and Water God, it can also autonomously nurture such a wonderful thing."

"Heh, there are many rare metals underground in the far north. The God of Ice and Water once descended here, so it's not surprising that it can give birth to anything." The God of Destruction sneered. "But I didn't expect that someone with the same name as my father, the Sea God, would die here."

Upon hearing this, Rong Nianbing's face darkened.

"Destruction, you think that's fun?"

"Yes, I'm quite enjoying it." The God of Destruction withdrew his expression. "In the Douluo plane, this generation has produced so many exceptionally talented individuals. As for who died in the battle, that's not important."

"The path to godhood should naturally emerge amidst countless battles and struggles. This was true of the successor I chose, and it was also true of the Snow Empress who independently created the path to the Ice God. Even that angel forcibly carved out a path for herself in the cracks..." The God King of Destruction closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Isn't this what the path to godhood should look like? It shouldn't be a pre-planned path where people forcefully inject their luck and opportunities into those they've chosen, or even shamelessly interfere directly."

Rong Nianbing paused for a moment, then realized that the God of Destruction was right.

"As for the successor you chose, I didn't say that you should force yourself on him just because he and my successor are enemies," the God of Destruction said quietly.

Rong Nianbing's teeth chattered slightly: "Yes...yes..."
