The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 143 Angels of Good and Evil

Compared to the Undead Domain, the Killing God Domain is currently relatively weak.

However, the Killing God Domain can be combined with the Undead Domain, allowing the killing intent and death intent to merge and produce the effect of the Death God's Light.

Looking up at the clear sky and breathing in the fresh air, Xia Liang's tense body and mind relaxed.

After spending half a year in the Killing City, facing all kinds of killings and experiencing all kinds of bloody scenes, it's finally all over now.

Trying to mobilize the killing intent within his body, Xia Liang found that he could use it freely, and his mind was not corrupted by any evil thoughts.

According to the original description, the Slaughter City was corrupted by the divine thought of the Rakshasa God. Just in case, it is still necessary to go to the Hall of Worship to find Qian Daoliu and ask him to use the power of the angels to help purify it, so as not to have a similar experience to Tang Chen in the original story happen to oneself.

Xia Liang took out the golden feather from the three-colored ring and flew towards the direction of Wuhun City.

Although the golden feather failed to intimidate the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter, it could serve as a compass at this moment.

Simply follow the angelic aura contained in the golden feathers to reach the location of the Hall of Worship in Wuhun City.

Ten days later.

Wuhun City.

Guided by the golden feather, Ye Changsheng flew for ten days and ten nights, finally arriving at the location of the Hall of Worship, Martial Soul City, before dawn.

Inside Wuhun City, amidst the bustling crowd, most people were wearing school uniforms of various colors. They came from different academies and included both teachers and students.

Activating his X-ray vision, Xia Liang flew towards the Hall of Worship, observing the students from every academy he encountered along the way. He eventually discovered that these students had come to Wuhun City to participate in the Elite Tournament Finals.

According to the original novel, in order to assassinate Tang San along the way, Pope Bibi Dong decided to temporarily change the venue of the Elite Tournament Finals to Wuhun City.

Tang San and Xiao Wu are not participating in the Elite Tournament, but for some reason, the finals of the Elite Tournament are still scheduled to be held in Wuhun City.

During his flight, Xia Liang learned that the elite competition had already concluded.

Dugu Yan, the vice-captain of Team One of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, led Team One of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to victory against strong enemies with her level 54 soul power. In the competition against the Spirit Hall team, she turned the tide and successfully defeated the spirit fusion skill of the Spirit Hall team captain Xie Yue and his sister Hu Liena, winning the championship of this Elite Tournament Finals.

Today is the third day since the finals ended. Teachers and students from various academies are gradually leaving Wuhun City and returning to their respective academy's city.

The moment Xia Liang landed outside the Hall of Worship, his movements were immediately detected by the seven elders inside the Hall of Worship using their spiritual power.

The worshippers sat on their respective prayer cushions, all dressed in golden robes with their martial spirits embroidered in silver on the back.

The old man with a large crocodile embroidered on his back is Qian Daoliu's uncle, and also the Second Elder, the Golden Crocodile.

"Great Elder, that kid has arrived. I never expected that in just half a year, he would have already broken out of the Killing City. It's truly astonishing." As he said this, a hint of surprise appeared in Elder Golden Crocodile's eyes.

He had never been to the Killing City for training, but he had heard of it.

In the Killing Arena of Killing City, where only one in ten survives a deathmatch, the higher your win rate, the harder it is to find an opponent who meets your matchmaking requirements.

Often, those who train in the Killing City cannot achieve a hundred victories even after ten or twenty years, not because they lack ability, but because they cannot find opponents.

Xia Liang must have used some kind of method to achieve a hundred victories in half a year, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to do so so quickly.

"Great Elder, do you really intend to let an outsider swagger into the Hall of Worship?" Demon-Slaying Douluo suddenly said.

"Otherwise what?" Qian Daoliu glanced at the Demon-Slaying Douluo. "Seventh Brother, do you intend to test him out?"

The Demon-Slaying Douluo didn't rush to reply. He used his spiritual power to observe Xia Liang, who was walking from the entrance of the Hall of Worship. After thinking for a moment, a sinister smile appeared on his face. "If the Grand Elder agrees, I really want to test him. I'd like to see if he's as outstanding as you say."

Qian Daoliu smiled slightly, "Then go ahead and try. But Seventh Brother, let me make this clear: if you suffer a loss at the hands of a junior, you'll become a laughingstock among us old folks. You might even be ridiculed for the rest of your life."

"I'd like to see what he has up his sleeve to make me suffer!" With that, the Demon-Slaying Douluo activated his soul power, and with his level 96 soul power combined with his mental power, he immediately locked onto Xia Liang.

Just as Xia Liang reached the entrance of the Hall of Offerings, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful force acting on his head. He immediately realized that it must be the group of worshippers in the Hall of Offerings who were deliberately trying to establish their authority in front of him.

The force falling from above was like a giant iron rod pressing down, releasing an astonishing aura of weapon spirit, clearly not a test by Qian Daoliu.

With the Shura Eye activated, Xia Liang's X-ray vision broke through the obstruction of numerous buildings in front of him, and he saw Qian Daoliu's figure inside the Hall of Worship.

Besides them, there were six other people, each sitting on their own prayer mats.

At the same time, the seven elders also noticed that someone was watching them, and the Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately released his mental energy to shield himself.

Suddenly, Xia Liang's vision went completely dark. He withdrew his gaze and saw a burly man sitting in front of a futon engraved with a dragon-patterned staff. The man's nine spirit rings were flashing, indicating that he was putting pressure on Xia Liang.

According to the original description, this burly man should be either Qianjun or Jiangmo Douluo, who possesses the Panlong Staff martial spirit.

The enormous iron rod acting on his head must be the energy body projected from the Panlong Staff martial spirit.

Whether it's the Thousand-Pound Douluo or the Demon-Slaying Douluo, what's certain is that the person using the Panlong Staff martial soul to suppress him at this moment only has a soul power of level ninety-six.

If it were the Golden Crocodile Douluo with a soul power of level 98, Xia Liang would still feel a slight threat, but he was confident that he could handle the pressure from a level 96 Title Douluo.

Two yellow, one purple, and three black spirit rings—a total of six—rose from his feet. Among them, the sixth black spirit ring spun wildly around Xia Liang's body, activating his sixth spirit skill, Reverse Arena of Life and Death.

As a tiger's roar resounded, darkness enveloped the surrounding environment.

A giant black tiger with corrupted wings emerged from above Xia Liang's head, unleashing violent black lightning that shattered the Panlong Staff that was suppressing Xia Liang's head.

At the same time, the lightning released by the black giant tiger backfired through the Panlong Staff, causing the Demon-Slaying Douluo in the Hall of Worship to suddenly fall into a temporary state of paralysis.

The other six retainers subconsciously focused their gazes on the Demon-Slaying Douluo.

"Seventh Brother, what's wrong with you?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.

"Second Brother, this kid's got some skills." Demon-Slaying Douluo used his soul power to break free from the paralysis in his body. Due to the backlash just now, not only his body but also his mental power were affected. It took him a while to recover.

"Is that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" The speaker was Qian Daoliu.

In his mental vision, the black giant tiger summoned by Xia Liang had fallen wings and exuded a dark and evil aura. Wasn't that the super soul beast with the bloodline of an evil god, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?

The 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is not only powerful and has bizarre moves, but its intelligence and cunning also surpass those of humans. On a spiritual level, it must be a top-tier existence, and it is definitely not something that Demon-Slaying Douluo alone can handle.

It's no wonder that Demon Slayer Douluo suffered a backlash after being suddenly struck by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Dark Demon Evil Lightning.

This Dark Demon Thunder combines the three elemental attributes of thunder, darkness, and evil, and is one of the ultimate techniques of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Qian Daoliu had learned this information from Xia Liang. He never expected that Xia Liang's sixth soul skill could summon the 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that he had killed to assist in the battle.

"Seventh Brother, stop testing him. That giant black tiger outside the Hall of Worship is beyond your capabilities. If you keep testing him, you'll really embarrass yourself."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the Demon-Slaying Douluo dared not act rashly again, and the other Venerable Douluos also showed great respect.

"Child, come in."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's voice echoing in the hall, Xia Liang jumped off the back of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. He wanted to put the Bone-Transformed Susanoo on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to see how powerful it was, but he didn't expect the other party's test to come to an abrupt end.

The Dark Demon God Tiger vanished in a ray of light.

After retrieving the six spirit rings from his body, Xia Liang walked straight into the Hall of Worship.

Arriving at the center of the main hall, he glanced around at the seven honored Douluo seated on prayer cushions before bowing to the one directly in front of him and saying, "Great Elder, as agreed, I have come to see you."

The blond man sitting on the futon was none other than Qian Daoliu. He smiled with satisfaction, "Child. In the past six months, your strength has improved again. But the evil aura around you seems to be getting heavier and heavier."

"Really? How come I didn't notice?" Xia Liang examined his body.

"For you, evil is the most normal thing, so you naturally can't detect it. But in the eyes of outsiders, you no longer look like a good person at all."

"Judging from your mental confrontation with the Demon-Slaying Douluo just now, your spiritual world has been corrupted by evil thoughts comparable to divine consciousness. Child, come with me. I will take you to the holy land of the Angel God to purify your evil thoughts."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu flashed in front of Xia Liang, then put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the back of the hall.

Xia Liang paid his respects to the other six attendants before following Qian Daoliu.

Seemingly having received some prior instructions, Demon-Slaying Douluo left the Hall of Worship and flew towards the direction of Heaven Dou City.

Upon entering the inner hall, Qian Daoliu led Xia Liang to an underground entrance. The two walked down the steps.

It was pitch black all around, but with the Shura Eye's perception, the surrounding environment was still clearly presented.

The steps leading underground form a passageway.

Walking along the passageway, Xia Liang couldn't help but recall the secret chamber beneath the Crown Prince's Hall in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"Great Venerable One, weren't you going to take me to the holy land of the Angel God to purify my evil thoughts?" Xia Liang asked tentatively. "If it's the holy land of the Angel God, shouldn't it be located in a sunny place? Why is it built in the dark underground?"

Qian Daoliu did not reply, as if he could not hear anything, and continued to walk down the steps.

Having experienced countless killings in the Killing City, Xia Liang's sense of danger was deeply ingrained. He quickly sensed something was wrong and, as he walked, considered various possibilities.

He was certain that Qian Daoliu possessed a three-in-one martial soul fusion skill with Qian Renxue, so he would never harm him, nor would he have any reason to act recklessly towards him.

Where does this sense of danger come from?

Could it be that Qian Daoliu wants to devour himself, the inheritor of the evil god, in order to help him break through to level 100 and become a god?

There doesn't seem to be such a description in the original work.

Xia Liang decided not to dwell on things he couldn't understand. With a "what's done is done" attitude, he followed Qian Daoliu into the underground space.

Soon, a building with a large door appeared.

With his X-ray vision activated, Xia Liang saw through the building's walls and into the church-like interior.

Inside the building stand two angel statues, each fifty meters tall.

The angel statue on the left is gold, while the angel statue on the right is black. They look very much like the six-winged angel and the fallen angel that Qian Renxue transformed into when the three martial souls merged.

When Xia Liang saw the angel statues inside the building through his X-ray vision, he began to believe that Qian Daoliu had indeed brought him to the underground space to help him purify his evil thoughts through the holy land of the angel god.

However, according to the original work, the angel god is related to the sun and can call upon a trace of the sun's true fire power. If a holy site is to be established, shouldn't it be chosen as the place with the strongest sunlight or the most sacred place?

It is truly incomprehensible that the holy site of the angels and gods was built in the dark underground.

Upon arriving at the building's entrance, Qian Daoliu infused his angelic power into a small angel statue placed in front of the entrance.

With a snap.

The building door opened, and Qian Daoliu walked in.

Xia Liang followed closely behind.

Upon entering the building, the first thing that catches the eye are the two angel statues that were observed earlier using perspective.

A stone bed is placed between the black and gold angel statues.

Beneath the stone bed is a magic circle, with black and gold on either side, corresponding to the colors of the two angel statues on the left and right.

"This is the heart of the temple, a sacred place for worshipping the angel gods. Child, sit on that stone bed. The angels of good and evil on your left and right will automatically release their divine power to purify or devour the evil thoughts mixed in with your body and your spiritual world."

Qian Daoliu gestured to the stone bed in the magic array, inviting it to proceed.

Xia Liang nodded and walked toward the stone bed. He reviewed the original description and roughly guessed that this place should be connected to the statue of the angel holding a long sword outside the hall.

According to the original description, Qian Renxue had to kneel and worship in front of the angel god statue for a certain period of time before she was qualified to start the angel god's test.

Since this building is supported by divine power, it must be connected to the statue of the angel god; otherwise, where would the divine power come from?

Xia Liang cautiously stepped into the magic circle, sat cross-legged on the stone bed in the center, and looked at Qian Daoliu standing at the door. "Grand Elder, what should I do next?"

"Just meditate as usual. During meditation, the angels of good and evil on your left and right sides will discern which evil thoughts are helpful to you and which are harmful. As for how long you meditate, that depends on your fate. Child, I must take my leave now."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu's figure vanished silently. The building's doors closed automatically.

Inside the building, only Xia Liang remained.
