As Gu Xuan's words fell, he immediately activated his Martial Soul possession. Brilliant soul rings rose around him in succession.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, red, red!
With the seven rings hovering, Gu Xuan spoke softly, "Gu Xuan. Martial Soul: Bone Dragon. Rank 79 Power Attack Type Soul Saint. Please advise."
Qian Renxue was not surprised to see seven rings; given Gu Xuan's talent, such growth was plausible. However, when her eyes landed on the two blood-red rings, a flash of shock crossed her gaze. Two hundred-thousand-year rings? Had he also obtained a Godly inheritance?
One must understand that hundred-thousand-year rings were not common. Even among her own two red rings, one was a God-Bestowed Soul Ring. How could Gu Xuan, a mere Soul Saint, possess two of them? At that moment, she felt a surge of relief regarding her choice to return to Spirit Hall for secluded cultivation. Had she stayed in Heaven Dou, she certainly wouldn't be his match now.
Despite her surprise, she remained confident. Under the Titled Douluo realm, all are ants—that saying wasn't just for show.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to have such fortune," Qian Renxue snorted. "But do you think this can bridge the gap between us?"
Gu Xuan remained calm, his expression indifferent. "A fight is a fight; talk less. It's a bad habit—you'll need to change it after you become my sixth wife."
"You're asking for a beating!" Qian Renxue snapped.
Her fifth black ring lit up immediately. Against Gu Xuan, she wouldn't be foolish enough to hold back.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Angelic Holy Sword!"
A sharp, sacred sword coalescing with divine aura formed in her right hand, pointing directly at Gu Xuan. Simultaneously, two of the dragon swords from Gu Xuan's back detached and merged into a single, massive dragon blade. Having trained with Chen Xin for a year, his mastery of the Death God Domain was complete, and his swordsmanship had reached a new peak.
"First Soul Skill: Bone Dragon War Body!"
The moment he gripped the dragon sword, his first yellow ring flared. With his current strength at Rank 79, the all-attribute boost of his first skill had evolved from 10% to a staggering 40%! For a century-level skill to boost overall strength by nearly half made it effectively a God-tier technique, rivaling the full support of a Soul Saint from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
High above the plains, as the two went all-out, nearby soul beasts fled in terror. Even ten-thousand-year beasts trembled at the dragon pressure radiating from Gu Xuan.
The two clashed in the sky, their blades weaving a web of sword qi that seemed to tear the very firmament. Gu Xuan's swordsmanship, inherited from Chen Xin and refined by his own insights, was peerless. Qian Renxue, though not a sword specialist, had been taught by Qian Daoliu—a master whose skills surpassed even Chen Xin's ancestors.
To Qian Renxue's astonishment, even with her Rank 93 soul power, she could only fight Gu Xuan to a standstill using just Martial Souls and blade techniques. She had fully absorbed the six pieces of the Angelic Raiment. While she hadn't yet achieved a demi-god physique, her physical constitution—backed by six 99,999-year soul bones—surpassed most Super Douluos and rivaled Rank 98. Yet, she was only equal to Gu Xuan?
She was now certain he had a Godly inheritance. Otherwise, how could he match her three years of bitter cultivation, her God-set soul bones, and her Godly Trials? To conquer such a genius, she needed absolute power.
"Gu Xuan, your strength is impressive, but that's all. For a Soul Master above the Soul Saint level, the difference between having a Martial Soul Avatar and not is heaven and earth!" Qian Renxue smiled beautifully. "I want to conquer you with my own strength. Show me yours—a Titled Douluo is not something a mere Soul Saint can shake!"
She swung her sword, a beam of divine light pushing Gu Xuan back. Her seventh black ring blazed, dyeing the world in a magnificent, radiant gold.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"
"Angelic Domain—Activate!"
A massive angel over fifty meters tall materialized, its six golden wings spanning a horrific eighty meters. The power of melting and purification filled the air.
Gu Xuan watched impassively. "Since you've said so, I'll show you my strength."
His seventh red ring lit up. Wrapped in a blood-red light, a thunderous dragon roar shook the heavens. Before the sacred angel, a ferocious Bone Dragon fifty meters long appeared. It was dark silver, with powerful legs, bone wings, and a right claw of eerie darkgold. Its eyes jumped with nether-flames, and eight massive dragon swords hovered behind it, each representing a different element: lightning, darkness, space, wind, evil, ice-fire, fire, and time.
"Dragon God Domain—Activate!"
"Time Domain—Activate!"
"Death God Domain—Activate!"
Three powerful domains erupted simultaneously, instantly overlapping and suppressing the Angelic Domain! The Dragon God Domain filled the area with annihilating elemental force, forcing Qian Renxue to burn soul power to resist. But the Time Domain was the true terror—it slowed the expansion of her Angelic Domain by ten times. In her eyes, everything slowed down, yet she could do nothing. Finally, the Death God Domain weakened her overall strength by 20%.
Qian Renxue felt a surge of fear. Three domains? Each as strong as her own? Even with her Avatar, she was being overwhelmed. She realized that despite her growth, she was still lagging behind him. She remembered the trump card he used to defeat her three years ago—he hadn't even used it yet.
"How... how is this possible?" the Angel murmured in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible," the Dragon replied. "I've merely walked through the fire."
"I won't surrender!" Qian Renxue shouted. "Let us settle this in one strike!"
Gu Xuan understood. She was going to combine all her power into a single point. He wasn't afraid. Within the Time Domain, he had slowed her time by ten times while accelerating his own by ten—effectively making him twenty times faster. One minute of his time was only seconds to her. He could have attacked her repeatedly, but to truly conquer her, he would meet her head-on.
As she condensed her energy, Gu Xuan's expression grew solemn. Her power was skyrocketing. At the peak of its concentration, her attack actually touched the threshold of a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo!
"She really does have a killing move!" Gu Xuan thought. He could no longer hold back.
"Martial Soul—Awakening!"
Using his Gold-level second awakening, Gu Xuan's dragon form swelled to a hundred meters. He felt as if he had become a true dragon of old, his power tearing at the sky.
Qian Renxue's attack was ready. The Angelic Holy Sword erupted with light that could pierce the firmament.
"Divine Skill: One Sword to Decide Fate, One Strike to Open the Sky—Angelic... Divine Judgment!"
As the strike flew toward him, Gu Xuan felt the pressure of a Peerless Douluo. This was the power of a Divine Skill. Fortunately, the current Gu Xuan was strong enough to face it.
