Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 38 Electrolux

Just as Huo Yuhao and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm began to merge, a thunderous roar resounded in the sky. In that instant, the sunlight was obscured, and a tremendous pressure descended from the sky.

"What's going on?" Qian Renxue frowned as she hurried along. Had the old dog in the sky discovered her? The God Realm did not allow gods to interfere with the mortal realm without permission. Could it be that Tang San, that good-for-nothing, couldn't resist?

Xue Di focused her mind slightly. Just as she was about to say that this power was very strong, a gray stream of air, as if encountering a huge suction force, descended from the sky and entered Qian Renxue's brow in an instant.

"Get out!" Qian Renxue's pupils brightened.

She didn't know what this energy was, but it didn't look like anything good, so she stopped, sat cross-legged, and began to activate her mental energy.

A very blurry figure emerged behind Qian Renxue, and an aged voice rang out with an indescribable majesty, "Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. I never thought that a trace of my remnant soul would still remain."

"Ugh—" Qian Renxue's spiritual sea seemed to be impacted. She suddenly gathered her spiritual power. At this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else. In her opinion, this old voice was undoubtedly a powerful being, and it was a remnant consciousness. So it was very likely that it had come to possess her!

"Get out!!" Her long golden hair fluttered behind her without wind, and her entire body radiated an aura of majesty and power. It was the divine consciousness of an angel issuing a warning.

"This...is...divine...favor?" The aged voice was broken and intermittent, revealing a tone that was hard to tell whether it was joy or surprise.

"Child, I won't harm you... I just... I just want to..."

The sound gradually faded away.

Within Qian Renxue's spiritual sea, the gray current transformed into a bead no bigger than a soybean, then lost its vitality, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

"..." Qian Renxue's eyes were uncertain. She discovered that she could not expel the gray bead with her divine sense alone, because she could feel that the fluctuations emanating from the gray bead were actually able to rival her wisp of divine sense!

This was undoubtedly someone who had once reached near-godlike status, but his condition was dire, almost like his own, a state of near-death. He had survived, while the other had been nearly annihilated, with only a wisp of divine consciousness remaining.

The little devil was still asleep in her sea of ​​consciousness. Qian Renxue could sense that this meant there were two people in her sea of ​​consciousness. This old guy had come to compete with the little devil for territory. She wondered what would happen.

Forget it, this old guy says he doesn't mean me any harm... but who would believe that! I can sense that this wisp of divine consciousness is attached to an inexplicable, strange, dark aura?

...But at the same time, it seems to have a hint of optimism?

How strange, let me feel it again.

However, no matter how hard Qian Renxue tried to examine the gray bead again, she couldn't fully analyze it with her mental power. Thinking about it, it made sense; although her mental power was excellent, she was still powerless against something at the demigod level.

"What's wrong with you?! Are you alright?!" Xue Di stood anxiously beside Qian Renxue, who was meditating, not knowing what to do. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she was completely clueless.

She could tell that Qian Renxue was fighting against the gray aura, but the fluctuations emanating from Qian Renxue at this moment shocked her.

She could sense that the fluctuation came from the angel race, exactly the same as what she had felt ten thousand years ago. However, it was the divinity within this fluctuation that surprised her.

"Ha..." The fierce look in Qian Renxue's eyes slowly faded. After trying several times, she had to give up for the time being.

"That's strange," she whispered. "A fragmented consciousness has entered my body and made its home in the sea of ​​my mind. I tried to drive it away, but it was no use; I failed. However, it doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

"Who am I? Where did you save me?" Xue Di touched her forehead and pinched her cheek.

"Snow Emperor, Star Luo City. What are you doing?" Qian Renxue frowned.

"Let's see if you've been possessed." Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I were truly possessed, my voice probably wouldn't be this different anymore, and the new consciousness might also accept my past memories," Qian Renxue said helplessly.

However, there is truly no one in this world who can accept her past memories.

Because in her previous life, one of the tests she underwent was to retrace the path of the first Angel God in the depths of her consciousness. It was this test that caused a tremendous change in her spiritual power, and she began to develop divine thoughts unique to the Angel God.

However, this memory was temporarily blocked during her rebirth due to the incompleteness of her divine sense. Therefore, when facing Huo Yuhao, she would involuntarily ask, "Why do you want to become a Soul Master?" Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she hadn't been possessed after all. Although her spiritual power was also strong—because she was originally a manifestation of the ice and snow power of heaven and earth after gaining sentience, and she had also consumed many ice silkworms…—this situation was truly beyond her capabilities.

"So what do you plan to do?" Xue Di asked.

"Let's take it one step at a time," Qian Renxue said helplessly. "Let's be careful and make plans after our cultivation level is higher."

Xue Di nodded: "Then this is the only way for now."

Just as they got up, the little devil, who was sleeping in Qian Renxue's spiritual sea, twitched its fingers slightly.

"What, aren't we going to keep going?" After seeing Qian Renxue get up, Xue Di didn't intend to continue walking forward.

"Wait a minute," she said softly. "Xiao Huo should be quite far away by now. I want to go back and take care of those two."

Xue Di gave her a strange look: "Why didn't you do anything before?"

Qian Renxue glanced at her helplessly: "It's the same reason. We can't reveal our martial spirit in front of Xiao Huo. Who knows, if he sees how powerful we are, he might cling to us and want to cultivate with us or something. Didn't we hold back when we attacked before, not revealing our true strength?"

Xue Di shrugged: "We told him all that, and froze his little enemy or something."

"So we can't expose ourselves now. What we did before can still be considered as bragging. We just beat up that little tiger and stole some things. We couldn't even beat him two against one?" Qian Renxue said.

"Alright, whatever you want. How do you plan to do it?" Xue Di asked.

"When I met them just now, I left a small mark on the girl named Tang Ya. They won't notice it," Qian Renxue said. "I can locate her based on the connection between that mark and my spiritual power, but the distance can't be too far, and it will dissipate if the time is too long."

Afterwards, Qian Renxue sensed the mark she had left behind, and the two of them walked together in one direction.

After a short while, they stopped in the branches of a giant tree.

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. Things were beyond her expectations, because she saw Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and Huo Yuhao together.

"What's wrong with this little Huo?" Xue Di sent a mental message to Qian Renxue.

"He seems to be absorbing a spirit ring, but something about this spirit ring feels strange."

Upon hearing her say this, Xue Di also looked at Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring.

"Hmm?" Xue Di also noticed something was wrong.

At first glance, this pure white spirit ring looked just like an ordinary ten-year spirit ring. At first, Xue Di thought that Qian Renxue meant that this guy just casually absorbed a trash spirit ring.

But suddenly she sensed a bit of...home from that white spirit ring.

The mark that Xue'er used for location tracking was actually her original divine skill, called "Angel's Divine Sense." Its effect was to imprint a trace of angelic divine sense on the other person. As long as the other person was still within the plane, no matter where they were, Qian Renxue could find them using her divine sense.

So what she's using now is essentially a degraded version, hence the time and distance limitations. As for why she chose Tang Ya instead of Bei Bei... that should be easy to understand.
