Chapter 199: The All Powerful Divine Ring Master
Qian Renxue's powerful strike left a massive crater spanning hundreds of miles. To an unknowing observer, it looked as if a meteor had crashed into the land, leaving behind steaming hot mist rising from the deep pit.
Compared to Ye LingLing's previous display with the Tenfold Universal Tower, this was far more visually shocking pure, raw destruction at its peak.
[Oh my god…]
[So this is the power of a god…]
[A casual strike caused such massive devastation?!]
[I feel like the Angel God might be stronger than Ye LingLing…]
[Nonsense! You have no idea what you're talking about.]
[If both are divine level, do you really think Ye LingLing couldn't do the same?]
[You just haven't seen him go all out yet.]
[I still think the Angel God is more powerful!]
[Ye LingLing is stronger!]
A fierce debate broke out in the livestream chat over who was superior Qian Renxue or Ye LingLing.
In reality, Qian Renxue watched the comments scroll by and couldn't help but sigh. These ordinary soul masters were so shallow, only paying attention to brute destructive power without considering the deeper meaning behind it.
Even though she hadn't ascended yet and lacked a full understanding of divine power, she knew that raw destruction didn't define true strength. She was certain that if Ye LingLing wanted to, he could unleash a strike just as devastating. Pure destruction meant little it wasn't a measure of true capability.
What truly caught her attention was Ye LingLing's divine artifact, the Tenfold Universal Tower.
That was no ordinary weapon. It had evolved from an immensely powerful support type martial soul, meaning its auxiliary functions were likely even stronger than before. There was no way its abilities had been weakened.
In the video, Ye LingLing observed how Qian Renxue's strike had completely purified the Abyssal energy lingering in the area. Nodding in approval, he looked up at the angel descending from the sky and remarked, "As expected, purifying demonic energy is best done with an angel's power. If I had tried, it would have been much more difficult to eliminate all traces of the Abyss."
"You flatter me. I just have the advantage of elemental suppression," Qian Renxue replied.
Ye LingLing suddenly sighed. "As the Angel God, your perception of Abyssal corruption should be sharper than most. Over the past few years, incidents like this have been increasing. In some regions, soul masters have even awakened demonic martial souls. This means the Abyss' influence on our world is growing stronger with time."
"When the concentration of Abyssal energy in an area reaches a certain threshold, it transforms into an Abyssal Zone, like the one here. We can purify these areas, but it's only a temporary solution. If we don't close the Abyssal Gate in the sky, sooner or later, the entire world will be assimilated."
Qian Renxue fell silent at his words. As the Angel God, she could feel the gradual increase of Abyssal corruption in the world an ominous and dreadful sensation.
"I don't know how much longer the Douluo Continent can hold out," Ye LingLing murmured, staring at the massive crater in the distance.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the earth trembled.
The ground shook violently as countless tons of soil began to shift and rise. Under the influence of some mysterious power, the massive crater spanning hundreds of miles was rapidly filled in by the land itself, restoring a smooth surface.
Then, as if life itself had been injected into the earth, tiny saplings began sprouting from the freshly laid soil. They grew at an accelerated rate, quickly budding and transforming into towering trees.
Within minutes, the once barren wasteland had become a lush, verdant forest. Vines coiled around the thick trunks, branches stretched high into the sky, and dense greenery covered the land as if the forest had existed for centuries.
The only thing missing was wildlife.
The sight was nothing short of miraculous, leaving the livestream viewers completely stunned.
[This… this is divine power for sure!]
[I take back what I said. Compared to destruction, creating life is far more impressive.]
[Yeah, creation is always harder than destruction.]
[He literally summoned a whole forest out of thin air… No normal soul master could do this.]
[If I hadn't watched this happen, I'd believe it if someone told me Ye LingLing was the God of Nature or the God of Life.]
[I don't think this proves much. It's just a forest. Couldn't the Angel God do the same?]
[Yeah, for a god, this shouldn't be too difficult, right?]
Despite witnessing the incredible act of creation, some viewers still believed that Qian Renxue's devastating strike was more impressive.
In reality, Qian Renxue watched the video in silence, knowing that even if she fully ascended as the Angel God, she would never be able to do what Ye LingLing just did.
As the Angel God, her divine attributes were holiness, purification, fire, and the power of the sun.
If asked to cleanse darkness or eradicate corruption, she could do so effortlessly. But creating an entire forest from nothing? That wasn't within her domain.
This kind of ability was something only a Forest God or a Life God could accomplish. It simply wasn't part of her divine authority.
However, this realization also made her notice another key difference between Divine Ring Masters and traditional gods.
Those who ascended through inheriting a god position were bound by specific attributes. For example, the Water God controlled water, the Fire God controlled fire, and the Angel God wielded holy light, purification, and flames.
But Divine Ring Masters like Ye LingLing didn't seem limited by any single element. He wielded multiple abilities effortlessly, making him seem… "all powerful."
Still, if a Divine Ring Master had a strong affinity for a certain element before ascension, they would naturally be much stronger in that area compared to others. It wasn't that they were equally skilled in everything they had one domain where they truly excelled.
In the video, after restoring the land, Ye LingLing turned back to Qian Renxue and said, "So right now, the only thing we can do is keep increasing our strength to better prepare for the catastrophe ahead."
"Easier said than done," Qian Renxue sighed, a bitter smile appearing on her face. "I've already reached the limit of a first class god. The next step is becoming a Divine King, but that's not something that can be achieved just by increasing my energy level it's a matter of comprehension."
"You… you're probably about to condense your eighth divine ring and ascend to Supreme Godhood, aren't you?" Qian Renxue asked, her tone firm.
"It's not that simple. I've only barely touched the threshold," Ye LingLing shook his head, then added, "I'll probably need a few more decades before I can cross it."
"…"
Qian Renxue listened to his words and didn't even know how to respond to such a "humble brag."
