Chapter 80: Chaos Angel

Chapter 80: Chaos Angel

Boom!

Just as the protective shield was shattered by the Titan Giant Ape's powerful attack, an immense surge of soul power erupted from within, repelling the Titan Giant Ape's nearly full-force attack back at it. The countless rebounding energy orbs struck the Titan Giant Ape, leaving it in a sorry state.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Amid the sound of heavy footsteps, a massive figure clad in pitch-black armor appeared before the Titan Giant Ape. He had long, brilliant golden hair, and a pair of pure white wings covered most of his body. Scorching flames surrounded him. This was the result of Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue's Martial Soul Fusion Technique—the warrior embodying the fusion of light and darkness: the Chaos Angel!

In his right hand, he tightly gripped a colossal sword that seemed to make even the soul tremble. One side of the blade was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other bore the markings of the underworld and hell. This was the ultimate sword of judgment and slaughter—the Chaos Execution Sword!

Step by step, the Chaos Angel slowly advanced towards the Titan Giant Ape, with each step amplifying his aura.

The Titan Giant Ape roared in fury, releasing all of its remaining soul power as it charged fiercely toward the Chaos Angel.

"Slash!"

It was impossible to tell whether the voice belonged to Qian Renxue or Xiao Yu, as the Chaos Angel raised the divine sword high and brought it down forcefully against the charging Titan Giant Ape.

Though the sword was heavy and unsharpened, this strike seemed to tear through everything in its path, even distorting the air.

"Splurt!"

The sharp blade descended, and the Titan Giant Ape, known for its unparalleled defense, suddenly became as fragile as tofu. The blade cut through it from the top of its head, slicing down to its base.

Rumble!!!

In a tremendous explosion, the Titan Giant Ape's mountain-like body disintegrated into dust in an instant. As a gentle breeze blew through, not a trace of its existence remained.

With the powerful enemy reduced to ashes, the Martial Soul Fusion Technique was also undone. The enormous figure of the Chaos Angel gradually faded, dissolving into streams of light.

As the light dissipated, Qian Renxue and Xiao Yu's figures were revealed. Both looked pale, breathing heavily.

With just one move, the Chaos Angel had not only drained all their soul power but had also nearly exhausted their spiritual strength. The Martial Soul Fusion Technique of god-level Martial Souls was terrifying indeed!

"Brother Xiao Yu, are you alright?"

Ye Lingling, who was now too worried to care about her many questions, hurriedly ran up to Xiao Yu, supporting him with a face full of concern.

"I'm fine, just out of soul power!"

Xiao Yu forced a reassuring smile at Ye Lingling and said, "But now we must leave this place quickly. We'll have to figure out another way to get your fifth soul ring later!"

Ye Lingling nodded gently. Although Xiao Yu claimed to be fine, as a healing-type Soul Master, there was no way she couldn't detect the true state of both Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue. The two of them were now so weak that even a slightly stronger thousand-year soul beast could take them down.

Ye Lingling summoned her Martial Soul and provided some healing to Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue, allowing them to regain a bit of their energy. The three of them then made their way out of the Star Dou Forest.

Fortunately, Xue Qinghe's camp was on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest. Aside from the powerful soul beasts brought by the Azure Bull Python, the rest were minor threats. Had they ventured deeper into the forest, even retracing their steps might have been a significant challenge.

After leaving the forest, they quickly found a small town. Once they secured rooms at an inn, both Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue went to their rooms and fell into a deep sleep—true sleep, not meditation, as they were utterly exhausted.

The next day, Milo and Aiolia, both at the level of 95th rank Titled Douluo, also found their way to them. The small-scale beast tide initiated by the Azure Bull Python had been no match for them.

According to the original records, an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast was roughly equivalent to a 95th rank Titled Douluo, as stated by the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai. Even though the Azure Bull Python's bloodline was somewhat stronger, at most, it could be compared to a 96th rank Titled Douluo.

However, Milo and Aiolia were not your typical 95th rank Titled Douluo. Their Martial Souls were top-tier, and they each possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Even in a one-on-one fight, they might not lose to the Azure Bull Python. Moreover, with the two of them working together, the Azure Bull Python would have been beaten to death had it not been for the assistance of several powerful ten-thousand-year soul beasts by its side.

After Xiao Yu and the others had fled a safe distance, the two swiftly extricated themselves from the entanglement with the soul beasts led by the Azure Bull Python and made a quick escape.

Seeing the two return, Xiao Yu finally let out a sigh of relief. However, the issue of Ye Lingling's soul ring would need to be addressed later, as returning to the Star Dou Forest anytime soon was out of the question.

There was no way around it. Given the close relationship between the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, it was certain that the Azure Bull Python would keep a close watch on any soul masters entering the Star Dou Forest for at least the next few years.

Especially after failing this time, the Azure Bull Python would undoubtedly seek powerful allies. While many powerful soul beasts might not regard the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape as serious threats, the Azure Bull Python had held sway over the core of the Star Dou Forest for so long that it might possess treasures capable of tempting even the strongest of soul beasts. If it were to enlist the help of one or two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, Xiao Yu might truly be in grave danger.

"Azure Bull Python, you just wait. One day, I'll take your soul ring and soul bone!" Xiao Yu silently vowed to himself.

In the following days, Qian Renxue resumed her disguise as Xue Qinghe, spending most of her time recuperating in her room, just like Xiao Yu. Gradually, she regained her strength and sent a message to Heaven Dou City, summoning some powerful soul masters to escort her and Princess Xue Ke back to the capital.

As for Princess Xue Ke, although Xiao Yu had held back during his mental attack, she was still too weak and ended up in a coma for twelve days. By the time she awoke, the people Emperor Xue Ye had sent to fetch them had already arrived.

During this period, Xiao Yu also fully disclosed everything about Qian Renxue to Ye Lingling.

Qian Renxue was aware of this and agreed to it. After all, Ye Lingling had already seen too much. Rather than letting her guess and accidentally leak her true identity, it was better to tell her everything. Given Ye Lingling's nature, where she practically clung to Xiao Yu, she would likely be cautious and keep the secret.

Ye Lingling was quite shocked to learn Qian Renxue's true identity, never imagining that the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall in disguise.

However, she harbored little fondness for the Heaven Dou Empire, which had previously tried to force her into marriage and continuously pressured her family with underhanded tactics. After weighing the pros and cons with Xiao Yu and hearing his firm assurances, she swore that she would never disclose this matter.
