Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

A quick glance revealed that these suddenly appearing merfolk were not all of their kind; only those with cultivation levels exceeding ten thousand years had arrived, numbering around sixty. They seemed to represent almost all the remaining high-ranking members of the clan.

Human Soul Masters have a misunderstanding about the Mermaid race, believing that they are all women with human heads and fish bodies, but this is not actually the case; there are males in this race.

In fact, even the Snow Empress's clan, the Snow Maiden clan, is simply called that. Because the Snow Empress is an ice goddess, the female ruler of the Snow Maiden clan, this stereotype has formed. The Snow Maiden clan also has male Snow Spirits.

At this moment, standing beside the sea princess were two male mermaids at the 100,000-year level, one about 200,000 years old and the other just over 100,000 years old.

The one from 200,000 years ago was the Sea Princess's husband, and also the father of the mermaid princess whose fifth soul ring was absorbed by the Snow Emperor. He was the king of this race.

At this moment, the two Ice and Snow Emperors suddenly appeared on the other side, and the two enemies were immediately filled with hatred upon meeting.

"Give me your life!!" The 200,000-year-old mermaid king roared furiously upon seeing the two ice and snow emperors.

"Snow Emperor!" The reckless mermaid king flashed and pounced towards the two ice and snow emperors.

"The Mermaid King"

Hyotei's face darkened as he stared intently at his opponent, his hands transforming into crystal-clear claws, ready to meet the attack.

"You guys should leave now!"

When the mermaid princess saw her husband going to stop the two ice and snow emperors, and that Qian Renxue and Ye Xishui seemed unable to free up their hands for the time being, she quickly shouted to Tang Wutong and the others.

"They can't leave," Qian Renxue thought to herself.

Of the remaining people, the one with the highest cultivation level was another Soul Douluo, and Shen Yuanyi had already left when the Ice and Snow Emperors appeared.

She will personally lead a team of soul guides to intercept them from the other side.

Qian Renxue trusted Shen Yuanyi completely. Shen Yuanyi was now considered a half-chosen one, thanks to the presence of the Thunder God's bloodline.

However, her path will be similar to that of the Snow Emperor, mainly relying on her own cultivation and pure understanding of attributes and powers to ascend to the god level.

Becoming a god solely through faith is indeed a quick and widely recognized path and shortcut, but this would limit one's god-level cultivation.

This is why, despite having a large following, Qian Renxue is still extremely concerned about her attributes and abilities, and constantly tries to break through them.

However, all paths lead to the same goal: to rise from a first-level god to a god-king, one must, in any case, be nourished by the chaotic power of the world's origin.

"Even the Sea God has failed, and most of the sea spirit beast clans in the sea have chosen to remain silent. You are all incredibly loyal dogs." The Snow Empress said coldly as she looked at the mermaid king charging towards them.

"Even if you force your way onto land to fight... you might as well change your name to the Sea Dog Clan," Hyotei added.

"This was originally the last mission for our race. The sea god has been kind to our people, and we have no choice but to repay him." A spiritual domain, faintly golden in color, swirled around the merman king.

However, its domain didn't appear complete, likely due to limitations such as its cultivation level. In contrast, the golden aura surrounding the Sea Princess was much more intense.

"Here, they should have a hard time using that combination technique from before," Xue Di quickly analyzed. "Otherwise, there would be no reason for these mermaids, who are over 100,000 years old, not to cooperate."

"Kill them!" another male mermaid guard, a hundred thousand years old, commanded, pointing directly at the Soul Master Corps on the ground. "Leave not a single one alive!"

"Clang—clang—"

The voices of the soul guide devices rang out, and the deployment and warm-up were completed in an instant.

Originally intended to guard against the dozen or so people who surrendered, these soul-guided weapons were instead aimed at the dozens of ten-thousand-year-old merfolk.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Xu Tianyuan and the others' expressions also turned cold. They came from the former Sun Moon Empire, and naturally had heard about the sea spirit beasts in the icy sea causing beast tides in the northern city clusters of Sun Moon.

"Die!"

The Sea Princess's shrill voice echoed across the battlefield. At the same time, the complete domain around her exploded, a kind of collective mental shock that shot towards everyone on Qian Renxue's side.

This mental shock was not a direct and indiscriminate attack, because the Sea Princess understood that it did not include those high-level ninth-level Soul Masters and Title Douluos in its target list.

Therefore, it forcibly dispersed these mental shocks, sending them out in all directions, bypassing those high-level Soul Masters and Soul Mentors.

"That's incredibly tactless."

Qian Renxue said softly, but she had no intention of making a move.

Then, a series of clear bell sounds rang out, accompanied by continuous vibrations.

A void field spread out, but it was not an indiscriminate coverage.

Within this area, each ring of the bell acts as a defense, precisely blocking those mental attacks.

"What is that?!" the sea princess cried out in fear. In this field created by the sound of the bell, there actually existed a mental power equivalent to hers, which was at the limit of human potential!

The crisp ringing continued, and the pale golden mental impact was gradually neutralized by the nine-colored ringing attacks!

"Pfft—Pfft—"

Like a series of bubbles bursting, the impact of the sea princess was mixed with some water elemental energy. Although it was small, the role of these water elements was to help stabilize the path of these mental shocks.

"Who! Who is it!" The sea princess looked horrified.

The mental impact it released suddenly reversed at this moment, like a ghost urged by a bell, trying to break free of its restraints but being pushed in the opposite direction, charging towards the mermaid race.

"Who am I? You've fought with the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult so many times, haven't you ever studied the Holy Spirit Cult's Hall of Worship?" Ning Shu said calmly.

"The Holy Spirit Cult's Offering Hall?" The Sea Princess looked in Ning Shu's direction, her face pale, then suddenly remembered something. "The Holy Spirit Cult! But the Holy Spirit Cult's combat power is severely lacking, how could there be someone like you!"

Even Ye Xishui couldn't hold back anymore.

"Fortunately, I always kept the worshippers under my own control, so they were a force that belonged only to me," she thought to herself.

"Otherwise, it's unlikely that Shrek Academy and Tang San would have allowed the Holy Spirit Cult to develop to its current state. Nor would they have only known about Xiaoyao, this so-called Grand Elder."

"But judging from your appearance, you haven't reached your limit yet." After a moment of shock, the Sea Princess regained her senses and looked coldly at Ning Shu. "As for me, I am a ferocious beast with 600,000 years of cultivation, enough to rank among the top five even on the continent."

Ning Shu stared blankly at it, a few black lines appearing on her face.

"You know what? What I like most is someone like you who doesn't know when to show off," she said with a sneer.

She then flicked her hand in mid-air, and the illusory Nine Bells immediately made a sound, as an invisible force surged up.

"Snap—"

The powerful blow struck the sea princess's left cheek with a loud thud. (End of Chapter)
