Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

A yellowish-brown energy ball materialized out of thin air in the right palm of the Titan Ape.

The energy ball spun rapidly, emitting a deep hum, and the surrounding air was churned and distorted.

The Titan Ape looked down from its high position, holding the energy ball in its right palm, and pressed it down hard on Xue Qinghe.

This attack concentrated the terrifying power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast; where the energy ball passed, even the space itself showed subtle folds.

Unfortunately, Xue Qinghe didn't even lift his eyelids.

"A trivial skill."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to the ears of everyone present.

"Do fireflies dare to rival the moon's brilliance?"

Before he finished speaking, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth from Xue Qinghe's body.

The light was so intense, like the midday sun suddenly appearing in the sky above the forest, completely dispelling the darkness.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and even the Azure Bull Python instinctively turned their heads away and raised their hands to cover their eyes.

The light pierced through his fingers, stinging his eyes, and Tang San's tears flowed uncontrollably.

They could only close their eyes and wait for the Titan Ape's attack to unfold.

"clang--"

A loud metallic clang came from the sky, the sound crisp and heavy, like two iron mountains colliding, making people's eardrums vibrate.

After the loud bang, a huge figure fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

With a loud bang, dirt flew everywhere, dust billowed up, and a large crater several meters wide was smashed into the ground.

Ignoring the discomfort in his eyes, Tang San quickly looked in that direction.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the Titan Ape slowly climbed out of the pit, shook its head, and its fur was covered with mud and broken leaves.

The Titan Ape didn't appear to be seriously injured, but its disheveled state was undeniable.

Tang San's heart sank.

Titan Ape, a genuine 100,000-year-old soul beast, a being of the king level in the forest.

It took the initiative to attack, and with all its might, but it failed to harm the opponent in the slightest. Instead, it was smashed down from the sky by the opponent's attack.

Tang San raised his head and looked up at the sky, his pupils suddenly contracting.

At this moment, the light emanating from Xue Qinghe gradually faded, revealing his true appearance.

No, it can no longer be called Xueqing River.

A golden, six-winged angel was seen floating in the night sky.

The angel was surrounded by golden light, with six wings spread out on its back. Each feather looked as if it were made of pure gold, with sharp edges like knives.

The angel's face transformed into a woman's face, exuding a dignified and sacred aura, with a sense of looking down from a superior position.

The angel held a golden longsword in his hand, its blade engraved with dense runes and emanating a chilling aura.

This longsword was the one that blocked the Titan Ape's attack.

"Xue Qinghe...a six-winged angel..."

Tang San muttered to himself, his mind a complete blank, unable to process what he was seeing.

"How is this possible?"

His thoughts raced.

Xue Qinghe is the eldest prince, the future heir of the Heaven Dou Empire. Isn't his martial soul the Emerald Swan?

The publicly available information from the Heaven Dou Royal Family clearly states that the records of the martial souls of all generations of royal family members are kept in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and there has never been any record of anyone awakening a six-winged angel.

Could Xue Qinghe possess twin martial souls?

This was Tang San's first reaction.

But then I thought about it again and realized that something was wrong. The bloodline of the Heaven Dou royal family has always been clear, and the six-winged angel is the iconic spirit of the Qian family of the Spirit Hall. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Unless Xue Qinghe's mother is a member of the Spirit Hall.

Or perhaps the Heaven Dou Empire has secretly joined forces with the Spirit Hall, and Xue Qinghe is the product of their marriage?

Regardless of the possibility, the current facts all point to the same conclusion.

That is, Xue Qinghe's identity is far more complex than he has shown.

Moreover, regardless of Xue Qinghe's background, those who see his true appearance will likely not be let off easily.

Thinking of all this, Tang San's heart sank completely.

"Humph."

In mid-air, the six-winged angel spoke, his voice still Xue Qinghe's, but with an added chilling coldness.

"Now that you've discovered my true identity, there's no need for me to hide it anymore."

"No one present tonight will leave alive."

Xue Qinghe raised the Angel Sword in his hand, and a dazzling golden light shot straight into the sky from the tip of the sword. The beam of light was as thick as an arm, pierced through the clouds, and lingered in the night sky for a long time.

Fifty miles away, Bibi Dong and her group were searching for Tang San and his companions in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qianjun Douluo was the first to see the golden pillar of light. He stopped abruptly, squinted at the distance, and a complex expression appeared on his face.

“Angelic power,” he murmured, turning to look at Bibi Dong. “This is… Young Master?”

Bibi Dong also stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowing slightly.

She stared at the golden beam of light, remaining silent.

Bibi Dong was all too familiar with that light; she could recognize the aura of the Angelic Martial Soul even from a hundred miles away.

Qian Renxue, her nominal daughter, was actually the biggest knot in her heart throughout her life.

Their relationship was neither quite that of mother and daughter, nor quite that of enemies; it was a tangled mess, and every meeting felt like a silent torment.

Bibi Dong didn't want to go there.

"His Holiness the Pope."

The Demon-Slaying Douluo stepped forward, his tone respectful but his attitude firm, and reminded her, "Young Master is undergoing a divine trial, something the Grand Elder personally instructed us to do."

"If something goes wrong with the young master's divine test, and what about the Grand Elder... we should go and check on him."

The Demon-Slaying Douluo didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already quite clear.

Qian Daoliu, Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, a level 99 Peerless Douluo, is the person closest to a god on the entire continent.

Bibi Dong remained silent for a few seconds, her expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

She took a deep breath, her voice as flat as if she were talking about something insignificant: "Let's go, let's go take a look."

The group took to the air and flew swiftly towards the direction of the golden pillar of light.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San saw the golden pillar of light shooting straight into the sky, and his heart skipped a beat.

This is a signal, a call to one's comrades.

Bibi Dong wasn't far from them, and she would be able to get there soon after seeing the signal.

Once that female demon arrives, none of these people will even have a chance to escape.

"Oh no, he's calling for reinforcements."

Tang San shouted urgently, "Da Ming, Er Ming, attack him quickly! We have to get out of here before his reinforcements arrive!"

"late."

Qian Renxue's voice drifted down from the sky, carrying a calm and collected air, like a cat playing with a mouse.

She didn't even make any extra movements; her "Sixth Soul Skill: Sacred Pentagram" was unleashed almost instantly.

A giant golden pentagram emerged from the void, enveloping everyone present.

Each edge of the pentagram was burning with golden flames. The flames did not burn grass or soil, but when they landed on the body, they burned a pain that went straight to the bone marrow.

Tang San and Xiao Wu both groaned at the same time, feeling a burning pain on their skin. It wasn't a superficial burn, but a tearing sensation that spread from the depths of their souls.

Tang San gritted his teeth, and Blue Silver Grass spread from his feet, trying to protect himself and Xiao Wu beside him. But as soon as the Blue Silver Grass touched the golden flames, it began to wither and turn yellow.

The Azure Bull Python roared, its massive body trembled violently, and a dense azure light surged from its body.

"Soul Skill: Divine Dragon Protection".

A huge cyan light shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping Tang San and Xiao Wu inside.

The golden flames were blocked by the blue light, hissing as the two forces collided violently at their boundary, scattering countless tiny specks of light.

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief; the burning pain had finally disappeared.

The Azure Bull Python did not stop.

Suddenly, a blinding light shone from its horn, and arcs of electricity of various colors—cyan, purple, blue, and white—jumped and intertwined at the tip, crackling and popping.

The electric arcs gathered more and more, becoming denser and denser, eventually coalescing into a lightning sphere the size of a fist. The surface of the sphere was filled with colorful electric light, radiating a destructive aura.

"Soul Skill: Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder".

The thunder sphere hurtled towards Qian Renxue, its speed so great that it left a colorful afterimage in the air.

However, Qian Renxue didn't even use any soul skills.

With a gentle flap of her wings, the six-winged angel vanished from her spot and reappeared in another patch of sky more than ten feet away.

The divine lightning of the Azure Bull Python swept past Qian Renxue and struck a small hill in the distance.

The hill was blasted open, creating a huge gap in the rock, and rubble and dirt tumbled down.

too fast.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is known as the best in the sky; its speed is something that even a behemoth like the Azure Bull Python cannot keep up with.

Lightning once again gathered on the Azure Bull Python's horn, but Qian Renxue's figure darted left and right in the night sky, leaving a golden afterimage with each movement, causing it to miss its target.

Seeing that Da Ming had been thwarted, the Titan Ape immediately took action.

It let out a low roar, its soul power surging. Its feet slammed into the ground, and a visible force rose from the soles of its feet, traveled up its legs, through its waist, down its spine, and finally converged on its fists.
