Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Ning Fengzhi also lost his usual wisdom. Since becoming the sect leader, he had always been wary of the Spirit Hall because of Qian Daoliu's existence. He was someone they absolutely could not afford to offend. However, today, this huge mountain was cut in half by Chen Xin.

Chen Xin had just ended his disintegration state. Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi also withdrew his immortality and other support abilities. The overall situation was settled. Qian Renxue and the Serpent Spear Douluo alone could not cause any major trouble. The crisis was over, and they no longer needed to be so cautious.

However, when Ning Fengzhi withdrew all the support, they discovered that the aura emanating from Chen Xin at this moment was no weaker than when he was at his peak and had support.

Especially his soul power, which was rising sharply, like a thermometer measuring a person with a high fever.

Chen Xin opened his sword eyes and said to Qian Daoliu, "I have won this battle. I should thank you for your help, senior, which allowed me to take this final step."

"I am now a level 99 Limit Douluo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin!"

Chapter 294 The Descent of the Gods: Sword God

"That old swordsman, by taking advantage of the opportunity to defeat Qian Daoliu, had an epiphany and actually crossed the final step!" Gu Rong said with a mixture of sourness and joy.

He was genuinely happy for his old friend, but the thought of the growing gap between them made him feel a pang of sadness.

"Heh, we're both Limit Douluo, but you've also relied on your Spirit Body, Life-Burning Technique, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for support. It seems my defeat wasn't unjust! Take this life and avenge your father." Qian Daoliu conceded defeat, but his words still contained a hint of mockery. Without these, even if Chen Xin broke through, he wouldn't be his match. After all, the absolute difference in Spirit Rings, Spirit Bones, and Martial Soul quality was undeniable.

"Angel True Form!" Qian Renxue suddenly shouted, activating her Martial Soul True Form and rushing towards Chen Xin. Her most beloved relative was her grandfather, even more so than the entire Martial Soul Hall and Tianlin. She could never watch her grandfather be killed by Chen Xin like this.

Chen Xin glanced at her, raised the Seven Kill Sword, and with his attack power after advancing to the limit, he could cleave Qian Renxue in two with one strike.

"First Soul Skill, Frost Condensation!"

At this moment, Tianlin quickly made a move, creating an ice wall to separate Qianrenxue and Chenxin. At the same time, he flew forward and used his demonic sword to block Qianrenxue's light sword.

Although he is now greatly exhausted and no longer a match for Qian Renxue, it is not something she can break through in a short time.

"Xiao Tian, ​​get out of my way! I need to save my grandfather, or I won't show you any mercy!" Qian Renxue said sternly.

"Calm down, my master has no intention of killing your grandfather!" Tianlin could actually sense that Chen Xin no longer had any killing intent.

Chen Xin walked up to Qian Daoliu and channeled a stream of pure soul power into his body. He was actually healing Qian Daoliu and even gave him a little bit of his soul power.

With this amount of soul power as a foundation, coupled with the terrifying regenerative ability of the Angelic Martial Soul, Qian Daoliu was able to slowly stand up.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue regained her composure and hurriedly went to help her grandfather up, while She Long held the serpent spear and watched them warily.

"Chen Xin, what do you mean by this? Do you want to capture me alive like you did with the Golden Crocodile? I will never accept such an insult. You should kill me and avenge your father!" After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he looked at Tian Lin and said, "Jun Tian Lin, I can see that you were saving Xue'er just now. Thank you. For the sake of your past friendship with Xue'er, I only hope that you can spare her life today. Otherwise, even if I lose today, I can still make your entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School pay the price."

"The Angel's Last Will is my final killing move, detonating all the divine power bestowed upon me by the Angel God. The power that erupts in that instant will destroy the heavens and the earth. But I am unwilling to use this move. Once used, not only will your Seven Treasures Mountain be destroyed, but the Heavenly Dou City not far away will also be destroyed. As the representative of the angels, I do not want to commit such atrocities, especially since Xue'er is here now. But if you are determined to kill Xue'er, then I can no longer care about such things!"

Chen Xin shook his head. “Qian Daoliu, I have no intention of killing any of you. In fact, my father did not hate you. He spent his whole life striving to reach the pinnacle of Soul Master and to fight you fair and square. Even if he lost, he would have achieved his goal. At least he passed away with a smile on his face.”

“You are right about one thing. If I want to avenge my father, I should defeat you with my sword alone, without any external force, so that I can comfort my father’s spirit in heaven. Today’s battle was only to protect my family, and I have done so. In the future, we will definitely have another battle. At that time, it will be for nothing else but my sword!”

Chen Xin raised the Seven Kill Sword, "I, Chen Xin, swear by the swordsmanship of my life that I will reclaim the dignity of a swordsman, defeat you, Qian Daoliu, without relying on external forces, and reforge my sword heart with my own swordsmanship!"

Although Chen Xin's oath was not a martial soul oath, it seemed to be more resolute than ordinary martial soul oaths. As soon as he made the oath, an immense pressure suddenly came from the sky, and even powerful figures like Qian Daoliu and Chen Xin were completely unable to move.

A golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Chen Xin directly.

"This is the aura of a god!" Qian Daoliu was shocked. Having dealt with angel gods for many years, how could he not sense that this light contained boundless divine power, probably only slightly inferior to that of an angel god.

Chen Xin had now entered a mysterious and profound space. If Tian Lin were here, he would definitely find that this place was very similar to the space where he underwent the Asura God Trial.

Chen Xin looked ahead and saw a man in blue with long black hair holding a silver-white longsword. A dragon seemed to be wrapped around the sword.

What surprised Chen Xin the most was that this man had five halos around his body. He had heard from Tian Lin, who had passed the divine test, that gods were also divided into ranks. Nine halos represented a god-king, such as the Asura God he inherited; seven halos represented a first-level god, such as the Angel God or the Sea God; and five halos were the mark of a second-level god.

In other words, the man before them was a second-level god from the realm of gods.

The man pointed his longsword at Chen Xin and said, "This sword is called, 'Absolute Destruction'!"

"Qingjue! I once heard from my father that if tin were to emerge from a broken mountain and copper from dried-up water, that would truly be a wonder of the world. If lightning were to strike iron and the rain god were to pour down water, that would truly be a spectacle for all time. If a dragon were to hold up a furnace and human strength were to be exhausted, that would be the birth of Qingjue." Chen Xin described, "This sword appeared in ancient times. It was the martial soul of a Soul Master. Later, this Soul Master used the Dao of Sword to break through the Heavenly Gate of the God Realm, created his own godhood, and broke through to the hundredth level. Could he be the senior?"

"It is indeed I. I am a deity under the Asura God, the God of Swords. I have devoted my life to the Way of the Sword, which is why my divine power accumulation has only reached the standard of a second-level god. However, even a top-tier god like the Sea God would not dare to directly confront my sword." The man said, "The true Way of the Sword is to cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack. It is divine and clear, and resides in the heart!"

Even among gods of the same rank, there are differences in strength. Among the second-level gods, there are a few extremely special beings, such as the Sword God, the War God, and the Phoenix God. They are only less powerful than the first-level gods in terms of divine power, but their actual combat strength is no less than theirs. The Sword God, in particular, is so powerful that he can be considered the number one under the Asura God.

"The divine understanding resides in the mind!" Chen Xin closed his eyes as if he had gained some insight. The words of the Sword God had brought him one step further on his path of swordsmanship.

The Sword God nodded in satisfaction. "Breaking through to level 99 with swordsmanship and reaching the pinnacle of human soul masters is the basic requirement for receiving my Sword God's inheritance. No one has achieved this in thousands of years. The last one I paid attention to was your father, Chen Jianjun. It's just a pity that he also stopped at level 97 in his life."

"Chen Xin, your talent is actually comparable to your father's, but you have a better destiny. Now answer me, are you willing to accept my test and inherit my divine position?"

Chen Xin smiled slightly, raising the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, its tip touching the Sword God's Peerless Sword. "I accept the Sword God's assessment. Since it's a position under the Asura God, that's perfect. Once in the God Realm, I can continue to pave the way for my disciple."

Chen Xin's sword is a sword imbued with emotion, and that will never change. What he will inherit is the position of the Sword God, but the path of the sword will still be his own.

Chapter 295 Negotiating the Conditions for Retrieving the Hostages

Chen Xin and the Sword God chatted for a few minutes in that mysterious space, but in the outside world, less than three seconds had passed. When Chen Xin opened his eyes, a sword mark had appeared on his forehead, just like Tian Lin's.

"Chen Xin, could it be that you..." Qian Daoliu was shocked. As the High Priest of the Angel God, no one understood what this meant better than him.

"Is that what you're thinking? Could it be that I've already accepted the divine qualification test?" Chen Xin didn't hide anything, after all, what just happened had occurred in front of Qian Daoliu, so it couldn't be hidden from him.

Moreover, because of this divine test, he is even less able to kill Qian Daoliu today, because this Sword God test is extremely special, there is only one test, and the content of the test is the sword oath he made.

Without relying on any external forces, defeat Sendo Ryu in his prime with his own swordsmanship in a fair and square manner. There is a time limit: Sendo Ryu must sacrifice himself to help become the new Angel God. If he fails to do so, he will be considered to have failed the test.

Of course, Chen Xin could not tell Qian Daoliu this, otherwise it would be bad if this guy accelerated the progress of the Angel God's inheritance in order to stop him from becoming a god.

"Divine inheritance, Grandpa Sword, you are so amazing!" Ning Rongrong excitedly ran to Chen Xin's side, shaking his arm and acting coquettishly.

Chen Xin lovingly stroked her hair.

It was because of his granddaughter that he was able to find his own path in swordsmanship at the last moment, defeat Qian Daoliu and break through to level ninety-nine, and even gain the appreciation of the gods.

"Congratulations, Master!"

"Uncle Jian, congratulations."

"Alas, old swordsman, it seems I'll never catch up with you in this lifetime."

Tianlin and Ning Fengzhi stepped forward to offer their congratulations, while Gu Rong felt nine parts joy and one part envy.

Tianlin was overjoyed. He had always been worried about one thing: after he became a god, he could only take two family members to the God Realm. His first choice would definitely be his parents.

If they can help Ning Rongrong become the Sea God and Ma Hongjun become the Fire God, they can only bring four more people. Moreover, Tianlin can't force Ma Hongjun to bring anyone. Needless to say, the people he wants to bring are his mentor Flander and perhaps his future lover. That's his freedom.

But what about people like Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Yin Yang, Dugu Bo, and Gu Ran? Tian Lin can't abandon them. Therefore, he needs more divine positions, preferably first-level gods who can help others ascend. Alternatively, he can help them become gods themselves, even if they are not second-level gods, a third-level god position would be fine.

After all, Tianlin knew that most of these people were not as talented as the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story, and they might not be able to gain the favor of the gods.

Now that Chen Xin has inherited a divine position, Tian Lin felt a weight lifted from his heart and was naturally overjoyed.

"Hmph, congratulations, Sword Dao Chenxin!" Qian Daoliu's tone contained a hint of jealousy. He had become the High Priest of the Angel God and, with the help of the god's power, reached the pinnacle of the human world, the level 99 Limit Douluo. However, the price he paid was that he could never become a god.

If he also had the potential to become a god, he would definitely have to compete with Tang Chen for Poseidon's favor again.

“Senior Qian Daoliu, now you can calm down and negotiate with us properly,” Ning Fengzhi said, stepping forward. Even though the outcome was clear and they were the victors, he still showed great respect to Qian Daoliu, giving him plenty of face.

Qian Daoliu wasn't a fool. Since Chen Xin defeated him but didn't kill him, Ning Fengzhi must want something from him. He nodded and said, "Speak, what do you want? Looking at the world, there aren't many things that I, Qian Daoliu, can't get. As long as you release the Second and Seventh Elders, everything is negotiable."

“Alright, two conditions, and two different people. The first condition is that you swear in the name of the angel god you serve that from now on, no matter when or where, your temple will never again take the initiative to attack my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School,” Ning Fengzhi said.

Anyway, Jin'e and Jiangmo were beaten up by Chenxin and Tianlin as soon as they arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. They didn't kill a single disciple of the school, so the hatred wasn't great. Therefore, it's not that they can't be released, as long as the benefits are sufficient.

"It's very simple, listen..." Qian Daoliu made a divine oath without hesitation. In fact, he had no intention of sending anyone to their deaths. After Chen Xin broke through to level 99, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was now strong enough to barely challenge the Spirit Hall. At least they could protect themselves, not to mention Jun Tianlin, whose strength was increasing day by day. It was only a matter of time before he surpassed him.

His current thought is to quickly take his granddaughter back to participate in the Angel God Examination so that he can catch up with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, there was one thing that puzzled him: if it was such a condition, it would be faster to just kill him and Golden Crocodile Douluo. Once he was gone, Golden Crocodile would be gone too. The Hall of Offerings wouldn't be a particularly difficult force for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to deal with now.

Seeing his confusion, Ning Fengzhi explained the reason: the four-winged fallen angel that had appeared a few days ago.

"Fallen Angel! Ning Fengzhi, are you saying that there are actually Fallen Angels hiding in my Spirit Hall!" Qian Daoliu was furious upon hearing this. Fallen Angels were the complete opposite of his Angel lineage. As his mortal enemy, they actually dared to hide under his nose and cause trouble. This was far too arrogant.

At the same time, he also understood that Ning Fengzhi did not kill him because he hoped to use his power to uncover the third-party force hidden in the Spirit Hall.

After all, they belong to different forces. No matter how strong the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is, it can't control the Spirit Hall. And that third-party force is obviously hostile to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It is powerful and hidden in the shadows, which must make Ning Fengzhi restless.

Anyone in the Spirit Hall could potentially collude with that Fallen Angel, but Qian Daoliu is the only exception. As long as he agrees to stop targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I can use him.

“Alright, Ning Fengzhi, hand that thing over to me. I will definitely find out the truth as repayment for Chen Xin’s mercy just now,” Qian Daoliu promised. “Now, state your second condition.”

"Thank you, senior. Since you have agreed to my first condition, I will return the seventh offering to you." Ning Fengzhi looked at Tianlin, who understood and took out two huge black crystals from his soul tool.

Within these two crystals, one can vaguely see a human figure in each one. They are the two Spirit Hall retainers whose soul power was sealed by Chen Xin's sword energy and then sealed by Tian Lin with dark gold seal.

Tianlin withdrew the seal on Jiangmo Douluo, and the crystal seemed to melt, revealing Jiangmo's figure. Shelong quickly stepped forward to support Jiangmo and checked him over. He nodded to Qian Daoliu, indicating that he was alright.

Tianlin's sword energy is from the same lineage as Chenxin's. He also just broke the soul power seal on the Demon-Slaying Douluo. With the Demon-Slaying Douluo's strength, he will probably wake up soon and be more energetic than anyone else.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi continued, "My second condition is that I have long heard that the Hall of Worship has a set of soul bones that have been passed down for thousands of years, the six soul bones of the angels, each of which is 99,999 years old. I am very interested in them. As long as Senior Qian Daoliu takes out any one of them, he can take Golden Crocodile Douluo away."

"That's impossible!" Qian Daoliu refused without hesitation. To him, these six soul bones were even more precious than six 100,000-year soul bones, because they were the Angelic Divine Armor, the key to becoming a god. Ning Fengzhi was making outrageous demands. He wanted to control the divine inheritance of their Spirit Hall and sever the roots of the Qian family. Even if he sacrificed the Golden Crocodile today, he would never agree to it.

Chapter 296 Killing the Golden Crocodile Face to Face

"Senior Qian Daoliu, don't be anxious. I know this item is key to the inheritance of your Spirit Hall. At worst, I promise that if the successor of the Angel God appears in the future, we will return it when she reaches the ninth trial." Tian Lin's words proved Qian Daoliu's conjecture.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School indeed wanted to control the divine examination in his offering hall.

"Jun Tianlin, Ning Fengzhi, this is absolutely impossible, but I can offer something else in exchange. How about a 100,000-year-old soul bone? I guarantee I can get your sect a 100,000-year-old soul bone in exchange..." Qian Daoliu still wanted to bargain a bit more.

At this moment, Tianlin's expression changed. "Hmph, since senior has no sincerity, then the request to exchange hostages is off. A mere 100,000-year soul bone is nothing compared to the life of Golden Crocodile Douluo. Besides, he already has 100,000-year soul bones, and he has six soul bones in his body. It would be more profitable for me to kill him directly than what you said."

After saying that, Tianlin directly broke the dark gold seal and summoned the Demon Sword, saying, "Try dying once, Senior Golden Crocodile!" He then pierced through the heart of Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile!" Qian Renxue cried out in anguish. She hadn't expected Tianlin to be so ruthless. For the first time, she looked at Tianlin with eyes full of hatred. "Why? We can talk again if there are conditions. Why are you so cruel?"

"Ruthless? Qian Renxue, when you say that, it seems you've forgotten something. That Golden Crocodile came to wipe out my entire sect. I think you were involved in the Soul Hunting Plan, weren't you? When you gave the order, didn't you even think about the word 'ruthless'?" Tianlin mocked, then used his demonic sword to lift up the Golden Crocodile's corpse and throw it behind him. "Gu Ran, keep an eye on this old bastard's corpse. When you're done, strip all his soul bones clean. You'll get a piece of it then."

Hearing Tianlin's words, Qian Renxue was speechless. Yes, what she wanted to do back then was to wipe out his entire sect. Now he has at least returned a Demon-Slaying Douluo and spared Qian Daoliu's life. He has already done more than enough. What right does she have to question him?

Just as Gu Ran was about to act, a figure moved even faster than him. It was Yu Luomian from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. He checked the Golden Crocodile's body and found that its heart had stopped beating. Just when no one was paying attention, a black light emanated from his palm. It was this black light that confirmed to him that the Golden Crocodile was really dead, and then a greedy look appeared on his face.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Yu Yuanzhen shouted.

“Brother, you just did your part for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It’s only right that our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan should also have a share of the soul bones on Golden Crocodile Douluo’s body. He has high-level soul bones all over his body.” Yu Luomian smiled and looked at Ning Fengzhi. “Sect Master Ning, do you think I’m right? Golden Crocodile Douluo has six soul bones. We don’t need more than two.”

“That makes sense!” Ning Fengzhi nodded. “Then how about I take out the two arm bones of Golden Crocodile Douluo and give them to you later?”

Upon receiving Ning Fengzhi's promise, Yu Luomian was overjoyed, but Yu Yuanzhen was furious. "Nonsense! Second brother, come back here! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has done a great favor to our clan, saving our lineage. Moreover, if they hadn't defeated the three elders of the Spirit Hall one after another, how could my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have survived? I don't want a single one of these soul bones."

"Big brother!" Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian looked at Yu Yuanzhen with some anger, wanting to say something.

Ke Yuyuanzhen did not want to give him another chance to speak, and said directly, "My mind is made up, there is no need to say more. Sect Master Ning, it is my fault for not managing my subordinates properly. Please let your sect take care of this soul bone."

“Yes, Second Grandfather, Xiao Tian’s family has already done us enough favors. How could we possibly accept their soul bones? Please don’t think like that anymore.” Yu Tianheng nodded. Like Yu Yuanzhen, he was clear about his gratitude and resentment. He already owed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School enough, and he had no face to take anything more.

“In that case, I shall accept the offer without hesitation.” Ning Fengzhi ordered, “Gu Ran, carry His Majesty the Golden Crocodile’s body inside.”

"Yes, Sect Master." Gu Ran replied, picked up the golden crocodile, and walked towards the main hall.
