Chapter 198: Qian Renxue
In the video, Ye LingLing turned around, his expression softening as he looked at the newly arrived Qian Renxue. Smiling, he said, "Xue'er, what brings you here?"
Qian Renxue's golden eyes were gentle as she gazed at him and replied, "I am the Angel God. My power naturally repels Abyssal energy. Compared to other gods, I am more sensitive to the presence of the Abyss. I sensed an Abyssal zone forming here and came to purify it. I didn't expect to find you here as well."
"In that case, let's purify this place together," Ye LingLing said as glowing rings of divine energy spread outward from his body. Seven divine rings in total surrounded him, with the outermost seventh ring spanning nearly three hundred meters in diameter.
Seeing him release his divine rings, Qian Renxue wasn't about to be outdone. Golden light burst forth as her six radiant wings spread wide. Glowing halos appeared around her, forming seven divine rings of her own.
Unlike Ye LingLing's rings, which resembled intricate runic formations, Qian Renxue's rings looked as if they were woven from countless golden angel feathers. They were much smaller, with the outermost ring barely three meters in diameter, positioned behind her to encircle both her body and wings like a divine halo.
This contrast highlighted the fundamental difference in their cultivation styles.
Although Qian Renxue had inherited a first class god position, the energy quality of the Douluo Continent had been too low to sustain her divine power after her ascension. This left her in a state of "divine malnutrition" despite being a first class god, her strength had only reached the level of a divine officer, with only a single divine ring behind her.
Under normal circumstances, to truly reach the power level of her godhood, she would have needed to leave the Douluo Continent and cultivate in the Divine Realm, absorbing its high quality divine energy. Only then could she fully develop her potential as a first class god.
However, the Abyssal invasion changed everything. The deaths of numerous divine level demons infused their corpses with vast amounts of energy, which the Douluo Continent absorbed, causing its overall energy concentration to rise drastically approaching the level of the Divine Realm.
Though the continent still fell short of divine standards, it had become sufficient for Qian Renxue to overcome her previous limitations, allowing her to finally attain the power that matched her inherited god position.
After revealing his divine rings, Ye LingLing did not summon his Feihong Sword. Instead, he called forth his divine artifact, which had evolved from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Tenfold Universal Tower.
Holding the ten layered pagoda in his hand, he glanced at the Abyss tainted land before them and gently tossed the tower into the air. In an instant, it transformed into a streak of rainbow light, soaring into the sky and expanding rapidly, becoming a colossal tower hundreds of meters tall.
From the base of the giant tower, a vortex emerged a bottomless black hole radiating an immense suction force.
Below, the countless creatures corrupted by Abyssal energy giant beasts, demonic hybrids, skeletal remains were all drawn upward, struggling helplessly as they were funneled into the vortex like rivers flowing into the sea.
The sight was nothing short of awe inspiring.
Many livestream viewers were completely stunned.
[Holy sh*t!]
[The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can do this?!]
[Wasn't it just a support type artifact? Did evolving into a divine weapon give it new abilities?]
[No, this isn't the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda anymore.]
[Didn't the video say it's called the Tenfold Universal Tower now? It's something entirely different.]
[Just one extra layer, and the transformation is this drastic?!]
[But didn't Ning Rongrong also become a god? Why didn't her martial soul evolve into a ten layered version?]
[Maybe she lacks the necessary talent?]
[Not everyone is Ye LingLing. True geniuses defy logic.]
As the comments poured in, many viewers expressed amazement at the ability to imprison and absorb enemies within a divine artifact.
Meanwhile, in reality, Ning Rongrong stared at the livestream, then at her own martial soul, feeling a sense of disparity. She had been delighted when she saw her future self evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. But now, seeing Ye LingLing's display, her excitement deflated instantly.
The truth was, every support type soul master harbored the secret desire to be a warrior.
And judging by the terrifying abilities of the Tenfold Universal Tower, it clearly had incredible combat potential beyond just absorbing enemies it likely retained its powerful support capabilities as well.
A weapon that could both assist and attack… Ning Rongrong felt envious to the point of tears.
In the video, the colossal Tenfold Universal Tower exerted its pull across hundreds of miles. Every Abyss corrupted creature and derivative demon was locked in place by an invisible force and dragged into the black vortex.
Regardless of size or strength, the moment they entered the vortex, they were devoured instantly. The Tenfold Universal Tower consumed them all with insatiable greed, absorbing every Abyssal monster that threatened the Douluo Continent.
In just a few moments, the entire contaminated region spanning several hundred miles had been cleansed.
Having completed its task, the massive floating tower rapidly shrank back down, turning into a streak of rainbow light before returning to Ye LingLing's palm.
"Your turn," Ye LingLing said, looking at Qian Renxue. "My power excels in destruction, but I'm not skilled in purification. While I can do it, you're far better suited for this task."
"Mm, leave the rest to me," Qian Renxue nodded.
A golden radiance erupted from her body, transforming into surging flames of holy light. Divine power surged outward as golden fire engulfed her form, distorting the air around her with its intensity.
In her hands appeared a golden longsword her god bestowed Angelic Divine Sword. Unlike tool soul masters, beast soul masters couldn't exactly use their own bodies as divine weapons upon ascension. Thus, they would typically manifest a divine weapon suited to their power.
Flames surged along the Angelic Divine Sword, merging seamlessly with Qian Renxue's divine aura. She soared into the sky, a blazing sun rising above the land.
Once she reached an optimal height, she gazed down at the Abyss corrupted wasteland below, raising her divine sword high before swinging it down with immense force.
A golden blade of divine energy cleaved through the sky, illuminating the heavens.
For a moment, it was as if the sun itself had descended upon the world, bathing everything in dazzling, holy light.
As the light faded, the land below once tainted and twisted by Abyssal energy was completely cleansed.
A massive, circular crater now lay in its place.
