Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 95—The God of Sin?

Something appeared in the center of the pitch-black tentacle. It was a hexagonal object that looked like a dusty piece of iron, but the moment it appeared, the ghostly flames that had been emitting a faint glow suddenly dimmed.

It was a sudden, abrupt dimming, as if it had turned from dusk to midnight in an instant. The thing seemed to be absorbing light.

Then the "iron plaque" floated in mid-air, and at the same time began to rapidly enlarge. In the blink of an eye, it became ten meters in diameter, suspended in mid-air, facing away from Qian Lingyun.

A chilling feeling instantly spread throughout Qian Lingyun's body. In that instant, she felt as if her body had stiffened, and an indescribable eerie sensation churned within her mind.

On the surface of the iron plate, a strange snake appeared. The snake twisted its body, its entire body was grayish-black, and its tongue was huge, located in the center of the iron plate. And at that moment, its eyes opened.

What kind of eyes were those! They were entirely blood-red, like two blood-red abysses, sucking in Qian Lingyun's soul.

In a daze, Qian Lingyun vaguely saw a phantom figure tens of meters tall appear behind the iron plate. Its hair was made of giant snakes, and its eyes were red and filled with a dark aura.

In Qian Lingyun's perception, everything around her seemed to have turned into a blood-red inferno.

This item is called the Soul-Capturing Token.

It is said to be a legacy from a true deity, Medusa, the goddess of sin. This is a genuine divine artifact, a treasure hidden by the Holy Spirit Cult for countless years!

Each time it is used, countless sacrifices are needed to appease the remnant soul of the evil god hidden within the Soul-Capturing Tablet.

In order to maintain its existence. For this Soul-Capturing Tablet, successive titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult would transport their own corpses to this place to nurture this divine artifact.

"Teacher, is this the good stuff you were talking about?" Qian Lingyun complained with a dark face, the Rakshasa emblem on her forehead flashing brightly in the darkness.

Even so, he felt his soul gradually stiffening, and his entire spiritual sea seemed to be drying up and depleting. He felt a stiffness in both his body and his soul power.

This kind of discomfort was something she had never experienced before: stiff, suffocated, weak—in short, incredibly stifling!

This feeling of frustration reminded her of a period of time when her period had started and, unfortunately, she had indulged in cold drinks. The feeling of helplessness and weakness she experienced is still vivid in her memory; it was a helplessness that even drinking a whole pot of hot water couldn't alleviate.

"Teacher, wasn't that supposed to be a spirit ascension ritual? This thing looks like it's trying to kill me!" Qian Lingyun complained, rubbing her stomach, only to receive a perfectly reasonable analysis from Electrolux:

"Perhaps because you have a divine status, this guy is treating you like a tonic..."

"Trying to treat me like a health supplement? How dare she!" Qian Lingyun's lips twitched, clutching her stomach as she grew angrier. Without saying a word, she swung the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand and smashed it over. A divine artifact? So what if it's a divine artifact?

What is my status? What is your position?

How dare you, a third-level god's artifact, clash with a first-level god's artifact!

The Soul-Capturing Token seemed to come alive, twisting its body and turning to face Qian Lingyun directly.

Under the illumination of the Soul-Capturing Tablet, Qian Lingyun's skin gradually turned grayish-black, and her life force rapidly diminished.

According to historical records, those who are struck by the Soul-Stealing Talisman will be completely petrified within a short period of time, all their life force will be completely stripped away, and they will turn into dust and disappear completely.

But at that moment, Qian Lingyun's eyes suddenly lit up, the deep gray light like a gray lightning bolt, directly shattering the light emanating from the Soul-Capturing Tablet.

At the same time, a stream of purplish-black energy shot out from behind her, transforming into a tall, semi-transparent female figure. She grabbed the Soul-Capturing Token from the black tentacles and forced out a dark red female figure from it.

During the struggle, the female figure inside the Soul-Capturing Tablet even let out a piercing scream filled with fear.

"Now!" Under Electrolux's guidance, Qian Lingyun skillfully chanted an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation. Pure white purifying fire transformed into a large white net in mid-air, enveloping the dark red woman's figure.

The dark red woman let out an angry wail, trying several times to tear the purification net binding her. Just then, Qian Lingyun, who had broken free of her restraints, summoned back the Rakshasa Demon Scythe. She raised her hand and gently stroked the faintly glowing skull relief on the scythe.

The souls of the three Zhongli brothers were instantly ignited by the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and their souls turned into nothingness amidst their agonizing screams, while the purple flames on the Rakshasa Demon Scythe's blade surged with power.

"Execute him!"

With a sharp cry, Qian Lingyun swung the Rakshasa Demon Scythe with all her might. She had never wielded the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, which she usually used with ease, with such difficulty.

The dark purple blade wave slashed straight at the dark red spirit, cutting through the air in its path and emitting a piercing hiss. Before the dark red figure could even break through the purification net, it was split in two by the light wave and fell to the ground.

If nothing unexpected happens, the dark red woman's figure, cut in half at the waist, is the remnant soul of the so-called God of Sin.

Although in terms of cultivation level alone, Medusa, the Goddess of Sin, is a proper third-level deity, while Elex is merely the person in the world closest to the divine realm, after all these years of wasted time, Medusa's remnant soul has long been extremely weak.

In her current state, how could she possibly gain the upper hand against the high-ranking gods Rakshasa and Elex?

With a clang, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe fell casually from Qian Lingyun's hand to the ground, making a crisp sound. Qian Lingyun couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked at the weak remnant soul of the god on the ground.

"Teacher, this thing... is it a spirit? Will it be useful to you?" Qian Lingyun asked excitedly.

"It works!" Electrolux said succinctly, "If you eat it, I can extract power from it to nourish my soul!"

"Eaten it?" Qian Lingyun's lips twitched, and she scratched her head, saying, "This thing... is it edible? And how do you eat it?"

"Of course, you eat with your mouth! You can drink it if you want," Electrolux joked with Qian Lingyun, a rare occurrence for him. Clearly, he was in a good mood.

"Ah, this..." Qian Lingyun stood there blankly for a while before she finally reacted. She protested a few times and came to the strawberry jelly-like soul.

Qian Lingyun parted her lips slightly, but before she could even begin to absorb this seemingly unappetizing wisp of divine soul, it shot up from the ground and poured into her mouth all at once.

"Hmm... It's cool and refreshing, and a little sweet... The taste of the divine soul is surprisingly good!" Qian Lingyun swallowed the divine soul in her throat and licked her lips with lingering satisfaction.

Meanwhile, in Qian Lingyun's spiritual sea, the remnant soul of Medusa, which had been devoured, roared and charged toward her.

"Like an ant trying to shake a tree! Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Qian Lingyun snorted coldly, and the divine emblem on her forehead shone brightly with purple light. The Rakshasa God's position shot out strands of dark purple chains, binding Medusa's remnant soul tightly.

With Electrolux's careful assistance, Medusa's soul was divided into three equal parts. The part that could nourish the soul was given to Electrolux, while the sinful divine power was absorbed and fused with the Rakshasa's divine position.
