Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 3 Dimensional Barrier, Strangulation

A certain self-healing ability was still repairing her body, but Tang San had already fully recovered thanks to the Blue Silver Domain and the assistance of the Ning family father and daughter.

"I was in a real rush, too. Dragging this half-crippled body around, cleaning up that idiot blondie's ass." Qian Renxue's eyes dimmed slightly. "She used to be like this too, always thinking I'd get her killed. But if it weren't for me, she probably would have had a terrible time back in the Heavenly Dou Palace, right?"

This is indeed true. Back in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, many ruthless ideas actually came from the white-haired Qian Renxue, who muttered them to herself, and the golden-haired Qian Renxue silently accepted them.

Later on her path to godhood, the little angel completely suppressed the little devil with divine power, which made Qian Renxue seem a bit dull later on.

Tang San held a harpoon in his hand. He could have stepped forward and killed her right now, but he hesitated.

It wasn't because of his verbal agreement with Bibi Dong; such things had no binding force. Even if he didn't kill Qian Renxue, there were plenty of people who wanted her dead. At worst, he could just say he was busy with the wedding and didn't have time to manage the servants.

It was because Qian Renxue's almost suicidal attack had left a deep impression on him.

He had already become a god, and the Martial Soul Empire could not possibly win the war. He didn't know why Qian Renxue had suddenly become so violent. Even if she could return to godhood, why didn't she wait until she was fully recovered before seeking revenge? Why did she have to choose this time and use this life-for-life exchange with him?

He dared not gamble, because he had already died once and knew perfectly well how he had been resurrected. Not to mention that Ning Rongrong and Oscar's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had been sealed at this time, he couldn't even perform another Soul Fusion with Xiao Wu using the power of the Asura God.

"Why can't we talk?" Tang San's voice was deep. "I've already promised Bibi Dong that I won't harm you or Hu Liena, and that's it. Now that the Spirit Empire has fallen, there's no need for you to continue fighting me. Since you've regained your divine power, why don't we ascend to the God Realm together? We and the continent will have a bright future."

As he spoke, he searched for weaknesses in Qian Renxue's character, using words to confuse her. Qian Renxue was slowly recovering, but that didn't matter, because she was an incomplete deity. If he could defeat her once, he could do it again. He was just afraid that this madwoman would choose to perish together with him.

"Such a generous suggestion? Sharing power with others?" Qian Renxue tilted her head. "In my memory, you, Tang San, aren't usually this generous. I remember a long time ago, I watched your match in Heaven Dou City. What did you call that little Star Luo tiger back then? 'Boss Dai'? And now? How long has it been since you called him that? Will you start calling him by his name directly from now on?"

Tang San frowned, clearly a little uncomfortable that Qian Renxue had exposed his inner thoughts. But he remained vigilant, observing Qian Renxue, waiting for her to lower her guard before delivering a fatal blow. How about another Guanyin Tear?

He didn't know if Qian Renxue would be hit by the same attack again, but judging from the current situation, her broken body shouldn't be able to withstand his divine Guanyin Tear. It would at least shatter her heart again, or even kill her outright. He hadn't used it before because his divine power had been constantly depleted during the battle, not enough for him to deliver a fatal blow.

"Tang San, you didn't understand what I said before." Qian Renxue looked at Tang San, who was frowning. "After dying once, you began to fear death. In the battle just now, you could have burned your divine power and launched that attack that could shatter my heart again. But you didn't. You are not as open-minded as you claim or as the world thinks. On the contrary, your narrow-mindedness means that without external help, you will achieve nothing."

"How dare you, you lowly leech, be on par with Xue'er?" she suddenly roared, launching another attack on Tang San.

The distance of several hundred meters passed in an instant, her furious expression tinged with icy resolve. Suddenly, a familiar and intense pain shot through her chest again; yes, Guanyin's Tears had pierced her body once more.

But she was reckless, and thanks to her advance warning, the attack went astray and missed her heart, thus failing to kill her.

Her bony wings unfurled, piercing Tang San's shoulders and chest, before carrying him straight up into the sky.

Tang San was both shocked and terrified. He kept swinging his trident, trying to tear the madman's body apart.

However, he couldn't do it. The shattered angelic divine armor and soul bones were now completely burned by Qian Renxue. The divine artifact might be able to break through her defenses, but it couldn't take her life.

She opened her mouth, revealing fangs that seemed utterly unrelated to angels, and bit into Tang San's neck, draining the divine power from his body. Tang San screamed in agony, his divine power rapidly draining away, even faster than in their previous battle. He continued his attacks with hidden weapons and his trident, determined to kill Qian Renxue completely.

The cold air passed by them, and the distant horizon even began to curve, with Seagod Island in the west of the continent slowly shrinking. Qian Renxue brought Tang San to an altitude of nearly 30,000 meters, almost reaching the dimensional barrier of Douluo Continent, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to thin.

The light in Qian Renxue's eyes was slowly fading, a sign that she was about to die.

Tang San gasped for breath and chuckled coldly, "I really didn't expect that someone like you could have succeeded even more by possessing the original Qian Renxue. But you didn't, and you actually chose to fight me head-on at this time instead of waiting for your injuries to heal."

Even if he reacted slowly, he could still sense the change in Qian Renxue. This was undoubtedly another personality deep within her, and this personality was originally an obstacle on Qian Renxue's path to becoming a god. It was truly unbelievable that the two personalities who were once at odds would choose to cooperate to kill him.

"Actually, it's not entirely because Xue'er wanted to kill you." Qian Renxue could still laugh at this moment, but her eyes remained cold. "It's strange that two souls exist in one body at the same time, right? Because I am from Mother's bloodline. Xue'er has been suppressing me in order to become a god."

"But in the end, you killed Mother! Xue'er dragged her broken soul to me and said she was no longer afraid... Did she forgive Mother? Did Mother really accept her? I don't know, but I can feel that they all want you dead, and of course I do too, after all, Mother is the reason I was born." Blood trickled from the corner of Qian Renxue's mouth, and a somewhat terrifying expression appeared on her face.

"You're right. I did have countless opportunities to devour that little blondie, but you're stupid. You never considered that she and I are actually the same person. And she and Mother are even stupider than you, so stupid that I wouldn't let them get hurt in the slightest—I came out this time to avenge them, so I'm fearless. But you, because you succeeded, you've become timid and cowardly...like a lowly insect, a lowly—"

"A hybrid born from the crossbreeding of a human and a soul beast—a mongrel!"

She fought with all her might, channeling all her strength into her bone wings, which burst forth from where they had pierced Tang San's shoulder and chest. With all her might, she pushed him out. They were about to reach the barrier of the Douluo Continent. As long as she used god-level power, she could break through the barrier and reach the God Realm.

At this moment, both deities had almost exhausted all their divine power. If they were to collide with each other now, they would undoubtedly be shredded to ashes by the power of space.

"Ah—!" Tang San's body began to twist, which was proof that he was being twisted by the dimensional barrier.

Please add my new book to your favorites!

Regarding the dimensional barrier, it was set up by the God Realm above the Douluo Continent sky. This barrier disappeared when the God Realm was no longer present in Douluo Continent III and IV. This thing is actually a kind of protection, because the God Realm knew that after the Dragon God was cut in half, he split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King was in the God Realm, but the whereabouts of the Silver Dragon King were unknown.

Therefore, it can be seen as a safety net in case the Silver Dragon King seeks revenge on the divine realm after his recovery.

And incidentally, to prevent those peerless Douluo who have reached their limits (called Limit Douluo in Douluo II) from leaving the planet and peeking into the secrets of the God Realm.
