Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 61 Soul Bone Unsealing, Angel's Shield

For the next few days, Qian Renxue stayed here temporarily. Ye Xishui had taken Xue Di out on some business, so she and Shen Yuanyi stayed behind. In her spare time, Qian Renxue cultivated her Angelic Divine Technique.

Although she was already level 30, she didn't plan to unseal her third soul ring for the time being. Otherwise, when Ye Xishui came back and found out that she had inexplicably acquired a third soul ring, her curiosity would be piqued, and she would be dragged away to do research.

However, perhaps she could consider unsealing her second soul bone first. Soul bones, whether unsealed in her current state or after absorbing a new one, wouldn't significantly affect her total soul power.

Soul bones are more of a modification to a soul master's physical constitution. Now that she has unsealed her soul bones, she can further enhance her physical body, and perhaps she will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating in the future.

One night, after Shen Yuanyi had fallen asleep, she began to meditate in her room. Her consciousness traveled to a small room deep within the Sea of ​​Spirit—hereafter referred to as Shuangxue's Nest—to discuss matters with the little devil.

"Are you planning to unseal the second soul bone? Have you decided which one to unseal?" the little devil asked.

The little angel pondered for a moment: "Logically speaking, if we could unseal the torso bones now, that would undoubtedly be the best option. But do you remember? Of the six soul bones of the Angelic Armor, I only fused the torso bones during the eighth trial of the Divine Examination."

"I don't remember, I fell asleep under your weight." There was a hint of resentment in the little devil's voice.

The little angel gave an embarrassed smile: "Oh, I see... I thought you could feel it back then too."

The little devil pouted and crossed his legs on the chair: "Just kidding. Actually, I can sense a little bit, so I don't recommend opening the torso bone now. You only fused with this last soul bone after you reached the ninth ring. The torso bone and skull are the two most important soul bones. Do you remember what Grandpa told you?"

The little angel nodded slightly: "Grandpa said that the two soul bones of the Angelic Armor start from the skull and end from the torso, because one contains the spirit of the angel and the other is the central hub of the angelic body."

The little devil stroked his chin: "That's right, so in a sense, this time when we unseal the divine equipment, we also need to follow this order. If I remember correctly, in our previous life, during the years we were in hiding, we went back to the Spirit Hall to absorb the Angelic Divine Equipment. The second piece should have been the left arm bone, and the skill it granted was Angelic Shield."

The little angel said, "So, we can do it again in this order this time."

The little devil waved his hand: "This is your divine equipment, what does it have to do with me?"

"When you took over the body, you also used the angelic armor. What did it feel like?" The little angel ignored her arrogance.

"Speaking of which, I'm not entirely sure either. Back then, I didn't have a martial soul; I was just 'borrowing' an angel, so the wings on my back turned into bone wings. However, when I awakened and took over my body this time, I could still use our divine equipment." The little devil put it another way, "Although, so far, I only used the skull that time, the divine sense detection skill is still effective, which is why I was able to reliably find that bastard's weakness."

The little angel thought for a moment and said, "In other words, the divine equipment is shared by us, since we are using the same body. These soul bones are attached to the body of 'Qian Renxue' and have nothing to do with your or my consciousness."

"There are still some differences. Perhaps because of my martial soul in this life, I am unable to use the Angel Wings when I take control of my body. Instead, they have turned into the Spider Queen Legs, which are inherited from my mother's bloodline."

"That's easy to understand, because both my Angel Wings and your Spider King Legs are bound to the Martial Soul, just like you just said, and have nothing to do with the Divine Equipment itself."

"Maybe that's how it is," the little devil said. "So you're planning to unlock the second soul bone tonight?"

"Hmm." The little angel nodded slightly. "Ye Xishui should be back soon. Get this done before she gets back."

After discussing the matter, Qian Renxue prepared to unseal her left arm bone. A faint pressure emanated from her body, the fluctuation of the Angelic Armor. Then, invisible energy began to swirl and gather on her left arm, finally transforming into golden patterns that adhered to her skin.

"..." Qian Renxue took a deep breath, and golden patterns seeped into her skin, reaching her left arm bone and drawing out the soul bone sealed within.

The so-called Angelic Divine Armor Soul Bone did not come from certain soul beasts, but was the armor of the first Angel God. How this armor was made is unknown, and even Qian Daoliu could not explain it. After Qian Renxue ascended to godhood, she obtained some information about the Angel God, but she had no information about the origin of this armor.

After the first angel ascended to godhood, this suit of armor was left behind. The first angel god used his divine power to transform it into the form of soul bones, ultimately fixing it at a lifespan of 99,999 years. Only by ascending to godhood can it be transformed back to a lifespan of 100,000 years.

However, Qian Renxue's Angelic Armor has broken this limitation because she had evolved before. Once it is unsealed, it will be pure 100,000 years old, as is the case with her current skull.

She slowly clenched her fist, and a pale golden light emanated from her arm. This light was like the light one sees the moment a treasure chest is opened after discovering a hidden treasure in a secret realm.

The skill attached to this soul bone is called "Angel's Shield," which is one of the divine skills of angels.

After ascending to godhood, Qian Renxue acquired thirteen angelic divine skills. Unlike the Sea God's divine skills, these skills required the use of angelic divine armor to activate. The six skills originally on her six soul bones evolved into six major divine skills. Then, because her soul bones became 100,000-year-old soul bones, she gained another six divine skills.

And the last one is a skill that requires the six soul bones on the divine equipment to activate together, thus forming the thirteen great divine skills.

Unlike the Sea God's inheritance, her path to godhood had no cheat codes. When the Sea God inherited his skills, he essentially taught Tang San thirteen additional skills. Coupled with his self-created divine equipment, he had a significant advantage in terms of abilities.

But it doesn't matter. This time, she will hone these divine skills to the extreme. Sometimes, more is not as good as more.

Qian Renxue recalled that the Angel's Shield skill could defend against any form of attack; it was a god-level skill similar to absolute defense. Even gods would need a divine artifact to break through this defense. However, it was clear that it hadn't reached that level yet.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

She assessed her current physical strength and then released her two original spirit rings.

Hmm, over nine thousand years old, it's almost turned black.

She was satisfied with the values ​​and changed them back to their usual pale yellow spirit rings.

Thank you all for the tips and votes! This is the fourth update today!

This chapter will introduce the origin of the angelic soul bone. As is well known, removing a soul bone generally requires self-mutilation, and the first angel should not have perished when he left behind his legacy.

In Douluo Continent IV, a concept was vaguely mentioned: artificial soul bones. However, this concept was quickly abandoned. Angelic Armor is likely a similar concept.

Moreover, divine equipment is divine equipment and has nothing to do with martial soul. Just like Tang San has twin martial souls, it doesn't mean that the Sea God's divine equipment was sealed when he used the Asura God power on the Clear Sky Hammer. Therefore, Xiao Hei Xue can also use divine equipment.
