Chapter 185: The Reignited Faith in the Angel
"The sacrifices... are already plump."
Sensing the two Evil Soul Masters who had already broken through to the God-level, Lei Chen thought silently to himself, like a farmer inspecting the crops about to ripen in the field.
These powerful Evil Soul Masters within the Demon Space, after a year of closed-door cultivation to digest their gains, had seen their cultivation progress by leaps and bounds and their evil techniques reach mastery. The concentrated sin and powerful origin of evil within them were the most perfect fuel to catalyze the final resurgence of the Angel God Throne.
Since the "sacrifices" were ready, what about the "sword bearer" who wielded the holy sword?
Lei Chen's gaze naturally shifted, crossing tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to land precisely on the Douluo Continent, upon the successor of the Angel God Throne he held high hopes for—Ye Guyi.
Over the past year, while Zhang Lexuan was in closed-door cultivation by the Lakeside of the Sea God to impact the God-level, Ye Guyi had not rested for a single moment either.
She was like an untiring hunter, wielding the invisible blade of the "Full Map Cheat" bestowed by Lei Chen, stirring up a thorough and cold purging storm against Evil Soul Masters in the shadowed corners of the Douluo Continent.
Without the top combat power of the Holy Spirit Cult to hold the fort, those remaining Titled Douluo elders—whose cultivation was at most Rank 94—along with the even greater number of Soul Douluo and Soul Saint level Evil Soul Masters, became like lambs to the slaughter before Ye Guyi, who had made great strides in strength and possessed absolute attribute suppression.
Her actions were efficient and lethal. Relying on her absolute control over the locations of the Evil Soul Masters, Ye Guyi no longer needed to be as cautious as before, setting traps and luring them out. She would often lock onto her target directly and then launch a thunderous surprise attack with the power of her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
The brilliant divine light of the Angel Sword tore through the night time and again, purifying the Evil Soul Masters hidden in city corners, remote valleys, and even those disguised as ordinary people, along with their nests.
However, the clearing operations did not always proceed in silence. The Evil Soul Masters were not fools, especially those high-cultivation elders who knew that being alone meant certain death. Many chose to cower within densely populated cities, using commoners as cover or even taking control of secular forces in an attempt to make Ye Guyi hesitate for fear of harming the innocent.
But this failed to stop Ye Guyi's footsteps; instead, it led to several "miraculous" public trials that shocked the continent.
In a major border town of the Star Luo Empire, a Rank 93 Evil Soul Master Titled Douluo controlled the City Lord's Manor, holding tens of thousands of citizens hostage in an attempt to put up a desperate struggle.
Ye Guyi arrived through the air, her six wings spreading wide as holy light surged like a tide. The Angel Sword transformed into golden lightning that tore through the sky. Under the gazes of countless citizens—which shifted from terror to astonishment and then to fervor—she purified that Evil Soul Master elder and his occupied manor's evil aura with a single strike. Wherever the holy light passed, the hostage citizens remained unharmed, instead feeling a refreshing sense of their bodies and minds being cleansed.
In the prosperous capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, two Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos mingled within the largest auction house, trying to use the chaotic aura of the auction to hide themselves.
Ye Guyi descended like a divine soldier, crashing directly through the auction house's dome. Her Angelic Domain instantly expanded, firmly locking onto the two Evil Soul Masters who were trying to escape into the crowd. Blazing holy sword qi crisscrossed through the noisy auction hall but precisely avoided every innocent person, eventually evaporating those two Evil Soul Masters into nothingness.
In an industrial city of the Sun Moon Empire, Evil Soul Masters used the underground pipe system to build a nest and spread a plague.
Ye Guyi channeled a wisp of the True Sun Fire's residual power into the ground. The golden flames seemed to possess a will of their own, spreading along the pipes to burn only evil while leaving the structures unharmed. She incinerated the hidden Evil Soul Masters along with the source of the plague. The golden pillar of light even briefly broke through the haze over the city, causing tens of thousands of people to kneel in worship.
These forceful exterminations of evil before the eyes of the public had a profound and massive impact.
Although ten thousand years had passed and Spirit Hall had long since become history, the legend of the "Six-winged Angel" and the imprint of the God of Angels as the core of the continent's faith were deeply etched into the historical veins and collective memory of the Douluo Continent.
When the angel who represented holiness, light, and the judgment of evil in legend truly descended upon the world with an unrivaled posture, cleansing the evil around people in the most direct and shocking way, the resonance and awe from the depths of their souls were instantly ignited.
The people might not have known what the "angel god" or things related to the God Position were, but they saw the descent of the "Angel" with their own eyes and felt the absolute suppression of evil by the holy light and its gentle protection of mortals.
Thus, on the Douluo Continent, the faith in the God of Angels that had been silent for ten thousand years began to recover like a prairie fire.
In the cities where Ye Guyi had appeared, statues of the Six-winged Angel quietly emerged; in the countryside, new legends of the "Holy Angel Slaying Demons" began to spread.
Many people who had suffered persecution from Evil Soul Masters or who harbored fear of dark forces began to pray silently to the sky at night, seeking the angel's protection.
This pure trust, gratitude, and reverence transformed into invisible yet majestic Power Of Faith, crossing the void to converge thread by thread upon Ye Guyi and the Angel Sword in her hand, which was gradually awakening.
Under this year of high-intensity warfare and the feedback of the ever-growing Power Of Faith, Ye Guyi's own growth was also astonishing.
She successfully condensed her second soul core, and her cultivation broke through the Rank 90 bottleneck with unstoppable force, officially joining the ranks of Titled Douluo and climbing all the way to steadily enter the level of a Super Douluo. Her combat techniques became increasingly refined, and her use of the Angelic Domain and True Sun Fire became more proficient.
The greatest change, however, came from the Angel Sword.
Having drunk the blood and origin of a large number of high-level Evil Soul Masters and receiving the continuous nourishment of the resurgent Power Of Faith, more than half of this inherited divine sword had finally been activated.
The rust on the blade had almost completely disappeared, replaced by brilliant holy light that flowed like liquid gold. The gemstone at the crossguard shone brightly, as if it contained a miniature sun within.
Although it was still missing that most critical "sacrifice" to trigger a full recovery, the power it emitted was already enough to make any Limit Douluo turn pale.
Lei Chen sensed Ye Guyi's current state: Super Douluo cultivation, supplemented by this mostly awakened Angel Sword of infinite power, plus her absolute attribute suppression against Evil Soul Masters and her own resilient will and superb combat skills honed through a hundred battles.
"It is time." Lei Chen's gaze seemed to pierce through the void, seeing those powerful "sacrifices" in the Demon Space, and then seeing Ye Guyi standing with her sword, surrounded by holy light.
In his view, all the preconditions had been met or were near completion. The reforging of the Angel God Throne could now officially proceed to that final and most crucial stage—sacrificing the most extreme evil beneath the purest light to complete the final nirvana and return.
