Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 135 Snowy Night
The fifth, sixth, and seventh spirit rings became increasingly dark, even faintly glowing with red light—a sign of their evolution towards becoming 100,000-year spirit rings!

However, the biggest change occurred deep within her soul.

The power bestowed by the "Goddess Ranking" is not only enhancing her strength, but also awakening the "divinity" dormant within her.

That is something more essential than divine power; it is the core of what makes a god a god.

Ordinary inheritors of divine positions must complete all divine trials before truly condensing their divinity. But at this moment, Qian Renxue's divinity is being awakened prematurely!
A golden flame ignited at the core of her soul.

The flame was warm, sacred, and eternal, containing fragments of divine laws such as "light," "purification," "judgment," and "redemption."

As the flames burned, Qian Renxue could feel that her control over the attribute of light had reached an unprecedented level, and she was even able to initially invoke the most primordial laws of light in the world.

"Is this... divine awakening?"

Qian Renxue murmured to herself, her golden eyes reflecting the divine fire deep within her soul.

She could sense that the flame was still very weak, far from reaching the level of a true deity.

But it is a beginning, a seed—with this seed, her path to condensing divinity and inheriting divine status will be ten times, a hundred times smoother!
And at this moment——

Above the sky, the golden pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth suddenly contracted!

All the light converged towards the center, condensing into the illusory image of the eighth list above the sky.

This list is quite different from the previous seven.

The border is not made of any material texture, but is outlined by the pure laws of light, with countless tiny angelic runes flowing and chanting on the border.

At the center of the list, what appeared was no longer Qian Renxue's current image, but a dynamic scene—

On the left side of the screen, a young Qian Renxue awakens her martial spirit in the Spirit Hall, and the phantom of a six-winged angel soars into the sky, shocking the entire audience.

In the center of the scene, the young girl Qian Renxue transforms into Xue Qinghe and enters the Tiandou Imperial Palace, beginning a twenty-year-long life of infiltration.

On the right side of the screen is Qian Renxue at this moment, her body enveloped in golden holy flames, her six wings outstretched, and divine fire burning in her eyes.

The three images flowed together, as if telling a story about "inheritance," "latency," and "awakening."

The next moment, the list information flooded into the consciousness of all those who looked up to it.

[Eighth on the Goddess Ranking: Qian Renxue]

Age: 29

[Affiliation: Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship (Infiltrated within the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family)]

[Identity: Successor of the Angel God's position, holder of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, innate level 20 soul power]

[Cultivation Level: Originally a level 79 Soul Saint, now upgraded to a level 85 Soul Douluo]

[Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel (A divinely bestowed martial soul, possessing ultimate light and ultimate fire attributes, currently evolving into the God-King level "Twelve-Winged Seraphim" form)]

[Spirit Rings: Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black (The age of all spirit rings has been greatly increased, and the seventh spirit ring has reached the threshold of 100,000 years)]

[Domain: Angelic Domain (evolved into "Divine Judgment Domain")]

[Divinity: The divine nature of light has begun to awaken (the fire of divinity has been ignited)]

[Evaluation: A peerless genius possessing a divinely bestowed martial soul, the bloodline inheritor of the Angel God on Earth. With innate level 20 soul power, his talent is unparalleled in the world.] [He infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for twenty years, using the alias Xue Qinghe, rising to the position of Crown Prince and wielding power in the court. His intellect, shrewdness, and methods are all top-notch.]

[The essence of the Martial Soul has reached the threshold of the God-King level, breaking the limitations of a first-level god and possessing infinite evolutionary potential. The divinity within has awakened ahead of schedule, laying a supreme foundation for inheriting the Angel Godhood in the future.]

[Gentle on the outside but firm on the inside, decisive in action, harboring great ambitions yet keeping them hidden. Due to a unique upbringing, possesses a complex and profound understanding of family, power, and faith.]

[Due to the Goddess Ranking's perception of her divine nature and the uniqueness of her latent life, she was exceptionally included and ranked eighth.]

[Reward 1: Soul Power increases by six levels, breaking through to level 85 Soul Douluo; the age of all Soul Rings is greatly increased, and the seventh Soul Ring reaches the 100,000-year threshold.]

[Reward Two: The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul breaks through the limitations of a Level One God, gaining the possibility of evolving into a "Twelve-Winged Seraphim" (God King level). The Martial Soul's quality is comprehensively enhanced, reaching its peak affinity with the laws of light and fire.]

[Reward 3: The Angelic Realm evolves into the "Divine Judgment Realm".]

[The radius of the domain has expanded to 300 meters. The concentration of light elements within the domain has surged, and all dark, evil, and corrupt attributes are absolutely suppressed (suppression effect increased to 70%).]

[The domain now features the "Divine Insight" effect, which allows you to see through disguises, illusions, and concealment, directly revealing the essence of energy and the true nature of the soul.]

[The ultimate ability of this domain, "Angel's Descent," can briefly summon the phantom of an angel to possess the user, unleashing a divine judgment skill with power comparable to a demigod's full-force attack. Limited to one use per day.]

[Reward Four: Early awakening of divinity, condensing the "Flame of Divine Light".]

[This is the budding essence of the divine core, increasing the holder's comprehension of the Laws of Light a hundredfold, and allowing them to initially draw upon the power of the Laws of Light in the universe.]

The divine fire possesses the characteristic of being "eternally inextinguishable," capable of slowly purifying the soul's impurities, resisting mental attacks below the divine level, and nourishing the divine soul. It forms the supreme foundation for future divine attainment.

[Reward 5: Obtain the angelic artifact projection "Armor of Holy Flame" (incomplete).]

This is a projection of a portion of the armor from the Angel God's natal artifact, "Divine Armament." Although incomplete, it contains a trace of the artifact's essence.

[Once worn, it grants all-around defensive enhancements, providing extremely strong resistance to attacks of darkness, evil, and curses. The armor comes with "Holy Flame Protection," which passively burns nearby enemies.]

[The projection will persist and gradually improve as the user's strength increases, eventually potentially coalescing into a true artifact component.]

The moment these messages were imprinted, the entire continent fell into an eerie silence once again.

But this silence was completely different from the absurd astonishment when Ning Rongrong appeared on the list before.

This time, it was shock, it was sudden realization, it was chilling.

"Qian Renxue...the inheritor of the Angel God...who has been lurking in the Heavenly Dou for twenty years...Crown Prince Xue Qinghe..."

When these pieces of information are put together, they reveal a chilling truth that sends shivers down everyone's spine.

"His Highness the Crown Prince... is actually from the Spirit Hall?!"

"Twenty years! He's been lying low for a full twenty years!"

"No wonder the Crown Prince has gradually gained control of the Heaven Dou court over the years... No wonder the Spirit Hall's expansion of power within the Heaven Dou territory has been so smooth... So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

Inside Tiandou City, countless court officials, nobles, and generals were pale and their bodies were ice-cold.

Many of them are the backbone of the "Prince Party," and have fully supported Prince Xue Qinghe for the past twenty years, believing him to be the future hope of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

But now...
