Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 537: Emerging from seclusion, Qian Renxue rushes to the battlefield!

A dark figure appeared in the sky, but it seemed that no one noticed its presence.

He was so well hidden that even the two level-98 leaders, who were the most powerful in the battlefield, did not notice his presence.

A wisp of light swirled around him, a ring of light tinged with azure, which circled the figure before entering his mind.

"How absurd." He let out a soft sigh, like a god looking down on the earth, with ants trampling each other beneath the sky.

This was also a Celestial Hunter! He was the guy who, after Tang San sent out the signal fluctuations, bypassed the God of Destruction's gaze and entered the Douluo Plane from the other side using his hunter identity.

The fluctuation that had just entered his mind carried a trace of Tang San's will; he too was there to resolve this trouble.

Just then, Qian Renxue, who had just absorbed the two spirit rings, suddenly opened her eyes.

"So that's how it is..." Qian Renxue murmured to herself.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Shen Yuanyi asked, while Lin Mengtong, who was standing to the side, also cast a curious glance at her.

"The situation with this divine-level soul ring is the same as what the Grand Elder guessed. It mutated because it was injected with divine-level energy at the moment of death, which is why it turned into this dark gold color," Qian Renxue said in a low voice. "And while absorbing it, I devoured and refined Erming's soul fluctuations within this soul ring..."

Lin Mengtong frowned: "What I sensed earlier was indeed a divine-level energy being injected into his body."

"That wisp of soul fluctuation contained memories that didn't belong to Erming. This is because when the power was forcibly infused, the spiritual power and soul of that hunter were also included. It must have been forcibly activated." Qian Renxue sensed it. "From that memory, I know that Tang San has started to panic. He sent someone to collude with the God of Slaughter, Xiu Pros, which caused the situation that occurred before. Then, the God of Slaughter and another Heavenly Hunter seem to have been captured and taken back."

Shen Yuanyi's expression turned solemn: "It seems you were right, god-level opponents are indeed appearing one after another."

"How's this spirit ring?" Lin Mengtong asked quickly.

"It's strange. In terms of level, it should be considered a god-level soul ring, but its actual age is 300,000. After the Great Battle in the Far North, my cultivation level increased by one level, but this time, absorbing the soul ring has directly raised my cultivation level from level 63 to level 69." Qian Renxue pondered for a moment.

A spirit ring that was around 300,000 years old greatly boosted her spirit power level, partly due to her taking the Qiankun Creation Pill.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's because Erming spent some time in the God Realm. The speed of cultivation there is much faster than in the Douluo Continent. Perhaps Daming's spirit rings can reach more than 400,000 without being tainted by god-level aura."

Lin Mengtong nodded slightly: "This Erming is normally level 98, and considering his divine beast status, this age limit is quite reasonable. I remember that before Ice Emperor passed through the Heavenly Tribulation, 390,000 years was roughly equivalent to a human's initial combat power of level 98, which is also related to her bloodline."

"The fact that Erming's normal level is ninety-eight is probably a result of the combined effects of dimensional suppression, his own lifespan, and his experiences after ascending to godhood."

Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly: "The combat power of soul beasts is too difficult to compare with that of human soul masters at the level of ferocious beasts. Xue Di also said that ferocious beasts over 500,000 years old are basically equivalent to the human limit. Soul beasts that can reach this age all have excellent bloodlines, plus this kind of blessing..."

They discussed it for a while, then stood up together.

Qian Renxue looked around at the mess. At this moment, almost all the negative energy here had been absorbed by the Little Devil's martial spirit.

"Let's keep the lockdown going for a while longer. The power of soul-guided technology sometimes becomes apparent after an explosion," Qian Renxue said. "How's the rest of the city?" "It's under control to a minimum. With so many level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells, the whole city shook violently. Fortunately, I used my maximum spatial abilities at the start of the explosion, so no innocent people were affected. Only the pots and pans in our homes were probably shattered."

"Compensation will be distributed after the war ends." Qian Renxue nodded, "and the specific reasons will be explained: the Clear Sky Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect plotted to overthrow the Heavenly Soul Empire here, but were stopped by the Spirit Hall, which used a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon to completely destroy most of the members of these two sects. Then, a warrant will be issued to arrest the remaining members of the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"The remaining members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School should still be in the Douling Empire," Shen Yuanyi pointed out.

"In the previous plan, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School became the guardian sect of the Douling Empire, and they acknowledged it," Qian Renxue said calmly. "So, just as some of the Body Sect's actions can be seen as the intentions of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, the current situation gives us a reason to send troops to Douling..."

The Xue family of the Douling Empire is the legitimate lineage of the former Tiandou Empire, descended from Xue Ye and Xue Beng. Now it is time to conquer them.

"Understood." Shen Yuanyi nodded. "Shall we go check out the battlefield of the ambush now? The fighting should have already started over there while you were absorbing the spirit ring."

"Let's go." Qian Renxue straightened her sleeves.

Perfect timing! I'm also quite looking forward to seeing how powerful my soul skills will be after I absorb this god-level soul ring.

They arrived in the sky above the southern part of Cloud City, and Qian Renxue took a special look towards the city.

Indeed, as Lin Mengtong said, the general public was not greatly affected, and many uninformed onlookers were gathering on the streets, pointing and gossiping about the south.

However, now only wisps of black smoke remain at the crime scene.

"Huh? Am I seeing things?" A resident with excellent eyesight rubbed his eyes. "I think I saw someone fly away from over there?"

"You're just seeing things," his friend patted him on the shoulder. "With all this fighting lately, are you getting a little paranoid?"

"Maybe. Hopefully, the war will end soon." The first resident nodded, then whispered, "The higher-ups must know about the current situation in Cloud City and are going to crack down on the Haotian Sect forces entrenched here!"

Qian Renxue and her two companions rushed to the battlefield where the ambush was taking place. However, just as they were halfway there, Qian Renxue suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

"Wait!" she suddenly called out.

"What's wrong, young master?" Lin Mengtong turned around in confusion.

"Elder, do you sense anything is amiss?" Qian Renxue asked gravely.

Lin Mengtong frowned upon hearing this.

"In order to seal off the scene and stabilize the spatial isolation, I mobilized almost 80% of my power." Lin Mengtong closed her eyes and began to sense it as well.

"I think I've sensed a trace of divine aura again, somewhat similar to the soul fluctuations of the Celestial Hunter I refined before," Qian Renxue said via telepathy. "There's a high possibility that something unexpected has happened on this battlefield!"
