Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 627 The Power of Purple Lightning and Thunder

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex possesses the power of thunder, but it is not considered a high-level weapon.

A long time ago, Shen Yuanyi was having dinner with her and they were chatting when they talked about Thunder.

Shen Yuanyi said that when she and Qiu'er were training in the Jingyang Mountains, they killed a soul beast called the Thunder-Eating Beast and obtained its soul ring.

After absorbing the spirit ring, she learned that the purple lightning associated with her martial soul was actually a top-level lightning, much more advanced than the blue lightning of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Qian Renxue joked that it seemed there was some truth to the saying "Purple Lightning and Thunder".

Shen Yuanyi said that the Thunder-Eating Beast's soul ring granted her the ability to devour and refine lightning-attribute power. Qian Renxue felt this was practically a cheat code; if she could keep devouring and refining...

Shen Yuanyi shook her head and said that this ability still has limitations, namely that she and her martial soul must also keep up, otherwise she will explode and die because she cannot withstand it.

Around that time, she also began the Nine Trials of Destruction. The first trial was a long-term test that refined her soul power until she reached at least half a step into the ultimate realm.

Turning her gaze back, Qian Renxue murmured, "She must have truly completed her first test after absorbing the Thunderous Hell Vine. The Thunder God's bloodline helped her evolve her attributes."

"These lightning bolts aren't all purple lightning; they're probably not as powerful as Yuan Yi's Origin Lightning." Ye Xishui raised her head. "I feel that His Majesty the God of Destruction must know something. When he taught me the Annihilation Divine Lightning, it was purplish-black, containing immense destructive power... and purple lightning is considered the highest level of lightning."

Perhaps the purplish-black destructive attribute of the God of Destruction contains some of the power of purple lightning and thunder?

Yuan Yi must have mentioned these things to the teacher as well. Qian Renxue thought to herself.

"You can ask him when you have the chance," Qian Renxue said, blinking.

"Sigh, speaking of which, His Majesty Destruction hasn't been paying much attention to me lately." Ye Xishui sighed. "I was thinking that my progress in the divine examination wasn't too slow. I complained to him before that the sea wasn't very peaceful, and he told me to relax... and then he stopped talking to me."

"Perhaps it's because there are more things to do in the divine realm," the little devil murmured. "One day in the divine realm is equivalent to one year on Earth. In the past few years, we've been fighting the sea god's subordinates so fiercely that the heavens and earth have been turned upside down and the sea has been reversed. The gods in the heavens must be busy as well."

"Boom—"

Just then, the last bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

"What's going on?" Qian Renxue was surprised because she saw that tribulation clouds had actually gathered in the sky at this moment!

Shouldn't this thing only appear when a soul beast undergoes its tribulation? Yuan Yi's bloodline is that of a true human; there's no mistake about that.

"This is the final blow of today's trial," Ye Xishui said solemnly. "Yuan Yi told me about the last three days of the trial. Because she absorbed the Thunderous Hell Vine spirit ring, and it's her seventh spirit ring in the Martial Soul True Body position, the aura of this spirit beast is tainted on her. Therefore, the heavens and earth may judge that the Thunderous Hell Vine is using her body to be reborn!"

Qian Renxue frowned, wanting to call upon the spirit of the plane to ask what was going on.

But the other person didn't answer her.

"ah--!"

Shen Yuanyi cried out in the sky, her power surging forth and spreading outwards, shaking off all the fragments of her clothes.

At the same time, a phantom appeared faintly behind her.

"What is this?" Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise. "Because the purest lightning elemental energy was used, a phantom of an elemental god appeared? No, even if the Thunder God was an elemental god, such a phantom shouldn't reappear after his fall. Could it be... a consequence of his ascension to godhood?"

She recalled that when she achieved the Soul Saint title, she unsealed all her soul bones, and at the same time, her Angelic Godhood returned, with a phantom appearing behind her. For a long time, most people only knew Qian Renxue's name, because her brilliance was so dazzling that other geniuses seemed like stars, dimmed under the intense sunlight.

But in a sense, Shen Yuanyi was the only relatively normal person in Qian Renxue's small team.

The Snow Empress has already embarked on the path to godhood, while the Ice Empress, as a soul beast, is not yet ready. However, the Ice Empress has already passed her 400,000-year tribulation.

Is it finally Shen Yuanyi's turn?

Ye Xishui looked pleased.

Qian Renxue suddenly remembered a detail. When she first met Shen Yuanyi, the little guy didn't call Ye Xishui "Your Majesty" but "Teacher".

It wasn't until Qian Renxue became her disciple that Shen Yuanyi gradually changed her way of addressing her.

Why is that?

She probably knew it in her heart.

After learning Qian Renxue's true identity, Shen Yuanyi must have gone to learn about her past on her own... and learned some stories from ten thousand years ago.

Therefore, she did not choose to force herself to become any particular identity.

She was incredibly perceptive and knew the special significance of her own martial soul. However, Qian Renxue didn't develop any prejudice against her because of this; on the contrary, she treated her very well, even going so far as to teach her the Saint Fusion Technique later on.

She shouldn't have gotten involved in Qian Renxue's affairs. If she hadn't met Qian Renxue, she would have been hidden away after returning to the Holy Spirit Sect from the Heavenly Soul Empire. If the Holy Spirit Sect had suffered a catastrophic disaster, she would have been a seed of the new generation.

But when she met Qian Renxue, her life changed.

It wasn't until Qian Renxue confided in her team that things changed. It wasn't until she half-jokingly mentioned wanting to try the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that things changed.

"Hold on." Qian Renxue looked up at the sky, where a little fox, struck by lightning, was naked and teetering on the brink of collapse.

For a fleeting moment, she wanted to step in and help her block the impact of the heavenly lightning, which would have made things much easier for her. However, she ultimately resisted the urge to act, just like when the Ice Emperor was undergoing her tribulation, the Snow Emperor cheered her on from the sidelines.

The lightning bolts flashing across the sky were about to unleash their power when seven long tails appeared on the phantom behind Shen Yuanyi. The tips of the seven tails plunged directly into the sky, brutally tearing it to pieces.

"So fast?" Even Ye Xishui was stunned and found it unbelievable.

Qian Renxue also looked at the sky strangely, somewhat unable to understand. Could it be that she had just transmitted her thoughts to the spirit of the other plane, and the other party sensed that Shen Yuanyi was not a soul beast possessing and reborn, and thus withdrew the heavenly tribulation?

"She is the most talented and insightful Soul Master of this era," Ye Xishui said softly. "From the moment I discovered that she had awakened her Martial Soul on her own, I have always believed that she is no less talented than those so-called geniuses!"

Qian Renxue nodded in agreement.

The Purple Lightning and Thunder are very powerful, and this will be a key point later in this article.
