Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 238 The Battle of Angels

"You're right, I am merely a remnant of a fallen angel, who has gained a physical body here by borrowing the primal power of the underworld!"

Lucifer (let's call him that for convenience) stared intently at Xiao Yu with his deep eyes, his brows revealing a gentleness completely out of character for his status; anyone who didn't know better would mistake him for a gentleman who had just stepped out of nowhere.

He glanced at Qian Renxue standing next to Xiao Yu and said, "You seem to have noticed my presence all along. Was this little girl a backup plan you kept in case I came along?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said calmly, "Not bad!"

Why?

Lucifer looked puzzled: "I'm certain that from the moment you stepped into this Judean Circle until I attacked you just now, I didn't use a single ounce of my power. How did you find out?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just feel that the ten guys you sent out are too weak and can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding this final checkpoint."

Xiao Yu smiled calmly: "Don't forget where the primordial power of this underworld comes from. As long as I investigate carefully, no matter how you conceal your aura, you cannot escape my perception!"

"Yes, I almost forgot. The underworld and you are of the same origin. As long as you have the will, what can escape your eyes?"

Lucifer seemed somewhat annoyed: "I thought using those ten guys as a decoy would lower your guard and allow me to strike decisively, but it turned out to be nothing but a farce!"

"In that case, let's fight!"

Lucifer took a deep breath, flapped his six wings and rose into the air. His aura instantly reached its peak, his dark purple eyes shone with ferocity, and his evil aura rippled outwards like waves. His entire body shone with black light, and from a distance, he looked like a black sun. Terrifying energy fluctuations were released wantonly, and the sky seemed to be about to collapse.

"Leave this guy to me!"

Qian Renxue shouted, her eyes revealing her undisguised disgust for Lucifer due to the absolute opposition between their attributes.

As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling golden light began to spread from her chest outwards, and her wings flapped slowly as she rose into the deep sky. Half of the sky that had been darkened by Lucifer suddenly turned from darkness into light.

"It's actually the ultimate light!"

A subtle, unreadable emotion flickered in Lucifer's eyes. After all, his original form was once the strongest angel in the heavens, and Qian Renxue's current form stirred up his deepest memories.

"Hmph, angels fallen to darkness, bow your heads before the light!"

Qian Renxue snorted coldly, and the Angelic Divine Sword slashed out horizontally, unleashing a powerful golden sword aura.

"The power of light...it's been such a long time since I felt that!"

Lucifer spread his six wings, seemingly bathed in the golden light rushing towards him. The power of light, which should have been extremely effective in suppressing evil and darkness, was of no use to him. With a wave of his hand, a purple-black sword light was unleashed.

The two sword lights collided with a deafening clang, and a huge shockwave suddenly emanated from the center of the collision, instantly spreading to every corner of the area. In an instant, the earth shook and mountains trembled.

"How is that possible?"

Qian Renxue could not hide her shock. In the past three years of battles in the Underworld, her power of light had made her invincible, but this time she had failed against Lucifer.

The person opposite was indeed a fallen angel of darkness. Her angelic power should have been the nemesis of all fallen angels, so why was it ineffective?

"Is that strange, little girl?"

Lucifer's calm voice slowly rang out: "Have you ever pondered what light is, what darkness is, why there is light, why there is darkness, why the shadow cast by light is black, and why there is darkness within light? When light pierces through darkness, isn't that the arrival of dawn? Light and shadow intertwine to form this world. And while I embraced darkness, I never abandoned light, so your power of light naturally has no effect on me! Little girl, abandon your shallow belief in light, and like me, embrace darkness. Only then will you become the most powerful being."

"Nonsense! Don't try to disrupt my faith with your fallacies and heresies!"

Qian Renxue roared angrily. She was the successor of the Angel God, how could she abandon her faith because of a few words from Lucifer?

The seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Form, was activated, and thousands of golden rays of light flashed in the air, instantly enveloping Lucifer. The divine six-winged light and shadow behind her suddenly solidified, and with a loud shout, the divine sword, magnified countless times, slashed down, heading straight for Lucifer.

With the amplification of her Martial Soul True Body, Qian Renxue's attack had reached the level of a Super Douluo. The terrifying energy was so great that even Lucifer could not hide his shock.

Lucifer roared, brandishing his purplish-black longsword. The evil power around him noticeably increased, and the enormous evil energy erupted like a volcano. A dark blue light, carrying immense energy, met Qian Renxue's attack head-on.

Rumble!!!

Another loud roar resounded, and Qian Renxue and Lucifer were both forced back several steps, a trickle of blood escaping from the corners of their mouths.

"I really underestimated you!"

Lucifer stared indifferently at Qian Renxue, whose breathing had become somewhat rapid not far away: "It seems that besides that young man who possesses the power of the Creator King of the Underworld, you are also a worthy opponent!"

The next moment, Lucifer pointed to the sky, and the power of space surged. Spatial rifts appeared around Qian Renxue, and a blood-red light blade was released from each rift, rushing forward.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Holy Spirit Light Shield!"

Qian Renxue's expression changed, and her fourth soul skill shone brightly. She unleashed the fourth soul skill several times in succession, and the brilliant golden light condensed into shields to protect her body. The blood-red light blades bombarded the light shields, and both turned into light spots and dissipated between heaven and earth.

But Lucifer's attack was not over yet. After all the light blades dissipated, purple-black eyes appeared in the crack, releasing invisible shockwaves that rushed straight towards Qian Renxue.

Psychological attack!

Lucifer's attack possessed both physical and mental power, making it impossible to defend against.

Qian Renxue clearly hadn't expected this move, and in her haste, it was too late to change her defensive tactics.

puff!

Qian Renxue, who was directly subjected to the mental attack, groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, her aura weakening considerably.

Fortunately, Qian Renxue had a nearly 100,000-year-old spiritual head bone protecting her spiritual sea; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Xue'er!"

Xiao Yu appeared beside Qian Renxue in a flash, grabbed her slender wrist, and said, "This guy's strength is a bit beyond our expectations. Let's use that move!"
