Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Qian Renxue initially did not intend to use this extremely domineering soul skill that directly affects the soul, but after realizing that she might be frozen by Xiao Yan, she released it in desperation.

'Xiao Yan's mental strength shouldn't be much weaker than mine, it's alright...'

As she released her power, Qian Renxue comforted herself, reminding herself that she had used her third soul skill during their brief exchange. That skill also affected the mind, but it hadn't had much of an impact on Xiao Yan. Therefore, she was certain that Xiao Yan's mental strength was not much different from her own.

Of course, it's possible that he's stronger than her, but after being reduced by 10% by the Angel Domain, Xiao Yan's mental strength is definitely weaker than hers!

However, what Qian Renxue never expected was that Xiao Yan seemed completely unaware of this mental shock and took the hit without any warning!

Is it possible for someone who is merely a Soul Emperor to possess such spiritual power?

Chen Xin, watching from the stands, was slightly startled. Although he only possessed a weapon spirit, his lifelong dedication to the sword had made his mental strength far surpass that of other titled Douluos of the same level. Among everyone present, perhaps only Qian Daoliu possessed stronger mental strength than him.

Even Chen Xin, with such mental strength, couldn't help but marvel at Qian Renxue's powerful spirit, 'Is this the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?'

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Xin's gaze fell on Xiao Yan. At this moment, he felt that he had made his judgment a bit too early. Xiao Yan, whose spiritual power had been weakened by the Angel Domain, might suffer a great loss this time!

'Shouldn't you release the domain by now?'

Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong shared the same idea as Chen Xin. At this moment, they were all staring intently at Xiao Yan, intending to see what kind of talent domain Xiao Yan's weapon spirit would be.

Although both the one who released the skill and the onlookers were focused on Xiao Yan, eager to witness the effects of Qian Renxue's soul skill, for Xiao Yan...

'This soul skill…' Xiao Yan raised his left hand, scratching his brow where it felt itchy, like a mosquito bite, and looked at Qian Renxue, who was completely frozen, with some surprise. 'It's released entirely using soul power?'

In this battle, apart from that innate domain, Xiao Yan finally saw something that made him envious. Mental power and soul power can be said to be the same thing, only with different focuses. But one thing is certain: mental power is completely different from battle qi, yuan power, or soul power cultivated in Douluo Continent.

Using mental power to mobilize battle qi, or using mental power to convert the surrounding heaven and earth energy into battle qi, is possible. However, converting battle qi into mental power, or even just converting battle qi into mental impact, is something that does not exist in Yao Lao's memory. But now, Qian Renxue, who is only a Soul Emperor and a Great Battle Master, has accomplished this with her soul skill!

Furthermore, the intensity of this mental impact, released entirely from soul power, was exactly the same as the intensity of Qian Renxue's mental power. This was equivalent to releasing a maximum mental impact without consuming any mental power, and there was no risk of any backlash!

Just as Xiao Yan showed a joyful expression, a crack appeared in the purple ice crystal that was trapping Qian Renxue.

Subsequently, the cracks quickly spread to every corner.

boom!

The ice crystals suddenly exploded, and several sharp sword energies, mixed in with the scattered ice shards, rushed straight towards Xiao Yan.

The purple fire curtain reappeared, and both the shattered ice and the sharp sword energy melted away the moment they came into contact with the fire curtain. Qian Renxue, who had broken free from the ice crystals, stood steadily dozens of meters away from Xiao Yan at this moment.

"You weren't affected?"

As the curtain of fire dissipated, Qian Renxue, looking utterly incredulous, asked this question directly.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Xiao Yan, who was holding the Xuan Heavy Ruler, was stunned when he heard the question.

Even with the old saying that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly, Lin Dong, who was observing the battlefield very clearly with his mental power, was still stunned after hearing Qian Renxue's words.

"...It can't be that she thinks her mental attack will affect Xiao Yan, right?" After a moment's thought, Lin Dong's expression turned strange. "Mental-level Spirit Talisman Master's mental power, trying to affect Xiao Yan, who could become a Celestial Talisman Master at any moment?"

Unlike Lin Dong, Qian Daoliu, who was in the spectator stands, became serious.

'Completely unaffected by the Angel's Roar? Does that mean his mental strength is at least twice that of Xiaoxue?'

As the heir of the Qian family, who possessed the highest innate soul power in nearly a thousand years, Qian Renxue's spiritual power completely surpassed her soul power after absorbing the skull from the Angel Set, which was nearly 100,000 years old. Although she was only a Soul Emperor at the moment, the strength of her spiritual power was no weaker than that of most Soul Douluos, and even some newly appointed Title Douluos might not have spiritual power stronger than Qian Renxue.

To be completely immune to this Angel's Roar, the mental strength of the person affected must be at least twice that of the caster. In other words, Xiao Yan, who is only a Soul King, has already reached the level of a Title Douluo!

'As expected of someone favored by the angel god.' Qian Daoliu slowly closed his eyes. With the angel's roar having no effect on Xiao Yan, Qian Renxue's defeat was only a matter of time.

'A spiritual power at the level of a Title Douluo...' Bibi Dong's gaze toward Xiao Yan grew increasingly cold.

'Wait, just wait, just wait until I ascend to godhood…'

After a long while, Bibi Dong finally withdrew her gaze, which relieved Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin behind her. Although they did not understand what had happened, they had fully felt the slight killing intent that Bibi Dong had just revealed. They were really worried that this Pope would defy the world and make a move in the semi-finals of the Soul Master Competition to kill Xiao Yan directly.

Seeing Xiao Yan's bewildered expression, Qian Renxue bit her lower lip tightly. At this moment, she finally understood why Xiao Yan dared to ignore her domain so blatantly.

'In that case...'

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, and the six spirit rings surrounding her body lit up at the same time. However, no spirit skills were released when the spirit rings lit up.

'Are they finally going to use their trump card?' Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

'He is, after all, the heir to a power with a thousand-year heritage. He can't possibly disappoint me again, can he?' The color of the flame in his hand grew deeper and deeper. Unbeknownst to anyone, the beast fire of the Ice Flame Wolf had transformed into the Twin Dragon Extreme Ice Flame.

The six lit spirit rings gradually blended with the golden light within Qian Renxue's domain. Soon, the three-colored spirit rings seemed to be assimilated, completely transforming into gold.

A golden light shone brightly, and the phantom of the six-winged angel behind Qian Renxue silently moved forward, merging with her in the blink of an eye. Instantly, her entire skin and hair were dyed pure gold, and a dazzling golden flame enveloped her body.

On the pair of pure white wings behind her, gold spread from the roots all the way to the tip of each feather. With a ripping sound, two brand new wings unfolded behind her, revealing the true form of a six-winged angel. Qian Renxue's aura also expanded in that instant, reaching the level of Dugu Bo in just a few seconds.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's body stiffened slightly, and he slowly withdrew the Twin Dragon Extreme Ice Flames he was about to unleash: "It's just a match, is it really necessary?"

Even without using his mental power to investigate, Xiao Yan understood that Qian Renxue was releasing a secret technique that forcibly enhanced her strength, revealing her true form as a six-winged angel in a short period of time, and even elevating herself to the level of a Title Douluo... Without a doubt, this was a secret technique that would damage one's origin.

"worth!"

Qian Renxue's tone was firm. She could lose; in fact, she hadn't even considered defeating Xiao Yan. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to cultivate so frantically and obsessively during this period, raising her strength to the Soul Emperor level before today's match. However, a defeat without forcing Xiao Yan to reveal his trump card was something she couldn't tolerate, even if it meant damaging the essence of her martial soul!

Qian Daoliu, who was about to stop Qian Renxue, fell silent after sensing the firmness in her tone. After a long while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Qian Renxue opened her arms wide, like a believer embracing the sun. At the same time, a melodious long howl came from her mouth. In an instant, the golden light that erupted from her body expanded at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it had already covered the open space in front of the Papal Palace.

Surrounded by this golden light, Xiao Yan could feel the pressure from all around him growing stronger. Without using his mental power, he could only observe the environment within about five meters around him.

"Foolish behavior."

All of this made Xiao Yan realize that Qian Renxue might only possess her own soul skills and abilities derived from her martial soul, and for Xiao Yan, these were no different from before she used the secret technique.

"Perhaps." Qian Renxue nodded. She admitted that it was incredibly foolish of her to go this far for a competition, but since she had already done it, she had no regrets.

"Well... I hope you can handle this move."

The Xuan Heavy Ruler was raised, and purple flames instantly covered it. In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black Xuan Heavy Ruler had become a giant ruler of flames. The energy fluctuations emanating from that giant ruler of flames made even the titled Douluo in the spectator stands feel a little apprehensive.

"...Not the Flame Profound Talisman?" After staring blankly at the giant flaming ruler in Xiao Yan's hand for a moment, Qian Renxue suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

"If you can withstand this move."

Xiao Yan responded calmly, and the next moment, he swung his right hand and threw the Fire Refining Mystic Ruler.

Faced with this somewhat comical scene, Qian Renxue's expression turned serious. Now that she had forcibly activated the true form of the six-winged angel, everything in the angelic realm should be under her control. Xiao Yan's flames should have been completely purified and dissolved under her divine soul power...

Without the slightest hesitation, she released her Soul Bone Skill, and an oval-shaped golden protective layer appeared in front of Qian Renxue. At the same time, she raised her left hand and swung it out, and the light shield formed by her first Soul Skill also appeared in front of her.

Finally, Qian Renxue's body completely disappeared into the phantom of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. This was the most powerful defensive ability she possessed; as long as she could withstand this attack...

Just as Qian Renxue was ready, the giant fiery ruler controlled by Xiao Yan slowly exploded, the violent sound reverberating throughout the entire Martial Soul City, and destructive energy burst forth from the void.

The golden protective layer, golden light shield, and even the six-winged angel phantom that enveloped Qian Renxue's entire body were instantly devoured by this destructive energy.

However, unlike Xiao Yan's first attempt, this time the eruption of the Fire Refining Mystic Ruler did not cause any spatial rifts. In fact, under Xiao Yan's control, the energy did not cause any damage to the granite arena.

A moment later, the flames dissipated. Xiao Yan, who was unharmed and hadn't even lost much of his fighting spirit, silently looked at the opposite side, at Qian Renxue, who was standing in place with difficulty, her arms bare, her skin red, and looking extremely disheveled.

"You lost." Xiao Yan said calmly.

"Yes, I lost..." Qian Renxue's face was bitter. She could feel that the flames could have completely destroyed her under the protection of the angelic phantom, but under Xiao Yan's control, the flames only ignited her sleeves.

"So why did you choose to play the ridiculous crown prince in the Heavenly Dou royal family?"

Before Qian Renxue's mind relaxed and the aftereffects of forcibly overdrawing her martial spirit erupted, causing her consciousness to completely blur, a sentence from Xiao Yan entered her ears.

'Yes, why should I play that ridiculous prince?'

With these questions in mind, Qian Renxue collapsed in a golden light.

“She’s not seriously overdrawn,” Xiao Yan said, watching Qian Daoliu catch Qian Renxue. “If the Spirit Hall doesn’t have any healing herbs, she can come to Shrek Academy to find me. Restoring her spirit essence is quite simple.”

"Ah."

Qian Daoliu nodded, and then, in a flash, disappeared from the spot.

The room fell silent, all eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, each with their own thoughts.

It was also in this battle that everyone gained a clearer understanding of Xiao Yan's strength, and at the same time, they also gained a certain understanding of Lin Dong's strength. At least, no one really treated these two people as simple Soul Kings anymore.

With this, the semi-finals of the Soul Master Tournament have come to a complete end. Next up is the highly anticipated final. This is also the first time in the history of the Soul Master Tournament that no seeded team has made it to the finals!

Chapter 126 First Use of Time Stop

Early morning, inside the offering hall.

"Hmm..." Qian Renxue murmured softly, slowly waking up.

So why did you choose to play the ridiculous crown prince in the Heavenly Dou royal family?

After sitting up straight, Qian Renxue's mind kept replaying Xiao Yan's last words.

Shortly after, Qian Daoliu entered the room.

"Grandpa, I don't plan to return to the Heaven Dou Empire." Qian Renxue said softly, her lips slightly pursed, after seeing Qian Daoliu enter.

Have you made a decision?

“Yes, it’s time. After so much training and improvement, it’s time to put it to use,” Qian Renxue nodded gently. “Grandpa, I plan to stay in the Hall of Worship and receive instruction from you and the other enshrined ones.”

"Impersonating Xue Qinghe to seize the country might be one way, but the most important thing is one's own strength..."

"If I had stayed in Wuhun City and received the inheritance much earlier, I might have become an Angel God by now, right?"

"Let alone the Heavenly Dou royal family, once I become a god, the only path for the entire continent will be to submit to me, right?"

Qian Renxue sighed. If she had spent the past ten years or so on cultivation, how could she have been defeated by Xiao Yan, who was less than half her age?

“Very well,” Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then nodded. “I will have someone arrange things for the Heavenly Dou Empire.”

"Thank you for your trouble." Qian Renxue smiled slightly.

"By the way, shall we start training today?"

"Today?" Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue with some surprise. "Aren't you going to watch the match between Xiao Yan and Lin Dong?" Knowing his granddaughter as he did, Qian Daoliu knew that even if she was eager to train, she wouldn't ignore the epic battle between Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

"The match between Xiao Yan and Lin Dong?" Qian Renxue was taken aback, glancing at the dark night sky outside the window. "Has the final match not started yet?"

When she forcibly summoned the true form of the six-winged angel, she was prepared to be unconscious for many days. When she saw Qian Daoliu enter, she preemptively said, "I'm giving up the task of playing Xue Qinghe," simply because she didn't want to hear the final result from Qian Daoliu.

But the finals of the Soul Master Tournament haven't even started yet?

“Xiao Yan’s move reduced your consumption of your Martial Soul Origin. Less than half a day has passed since the afternoon’s match,” Qian Daoliu said softly, looking at his somewhat dazed granddaughter. “There are still a few hours until their match.”

"I see..."
