"Boom! Rumble!!"
Above the wilderness, night had fallen, yet it shone as if it were day.
Deafening roars echoed incessantly.
The pitch-black night sky was completely illuminated by countless explosions of energy.
In such a short span of time, Qian Renxue and Luo Yu had clashed countless times.
"Bang!"
High in the sky, a blazing red flame sword energy heavily struck the Holy Sword burning with golden flames ahead.
They were evenly matched.
The aftermath of the flames scattered to the ground, not extinguishing upon landing, blasting deep charred pits.
If this place were not a wasteland but a forest, it would likely have ignited a raging fire.
"Boom!"
The loud noise spread, energy bursting.
Two figures brimming with momentum separated and stood apart in the sky's emptiness.
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes stared tightly at Luo Yu, filled with astonishment.
"You, how did your strength improve so rapidly!"
Luo Yu glanced down at the Nine Heavens Execution Sword in his hand that was still trembling slightly, then raised his eyes to look at the goddess-like, stunningly beautiful Qian Renxue.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"You must have trained very hard during this time."
"Hmph!" Qian Renxue snorted coldly, choosing not to answer.
Luo Yu smiled.
"No need to deny it. In just a short period, progressing from Soul Sage to the level of a Titled Douluo."
"Even with a Divine Talent and the inheritance of deities, without the determination to practice earnestly, it would not be possible to improve as swiftly as you have."
Qian Renxue's exterior remained cold, but her eyes trembled subtly.
From a young age, others only paid attention to her innate talent, never truly acknowledging her efforts.
And this guy opposite her clearly understood everything.
She said coldly, "I risked my life to accept the inheritance, barely surviving, only to improve my cultivation level significantly in a short term, yet it seems your strength has also improved quite impressively."
"Merely quite impressively?"
Luo Yu slowly shook his head, smiling without speaking.
He said no more.
In truth, no cultivation level is ever achieved without effort.
He had fought deities alone, endured so much hardship; if it weren't for Gu Yuena's timely arrival, he might not have survived.
Taking the risk of sealing Divine Origin within his body, he had been crippled for so long.
Day and night, he refined the power of Divine Origin, and ultimately risked using Tang Hao's Ultimate Hammer to break the seal, finally earning today's leap in strength.
Qian Renxue hovered in the sky, her purple pupils intently gazing at Luo Yu.
"You are quite remarkable."
"I had thought that, after my arduous cultivation with the inheritance of a deity, I could easily crush you, but I didn't expect you to give me such trouble."
"The inheritance of a deity? Quite an impressive thing, isn't it."
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
Qian Renxue's expression faltered, and she retorted with a snort, "Looking down on the inheritance of a deity?"
"Even though you've also become very strong, I have yet to use the true power of the deity inheritance, otherwise, you would have already been defeated."
"You can try," said Luo Yu with a smile on his lips, confidence casually exuding from him.
Qian Renxue shook her head repeatedly.
"Since you want to see, I can satisfy your curiosity."
"But..."
Qian Renxue glanced sideways at the five dim blood-red soul rings on the surface of Luo Yu's Nine Heavens Execution Sword.
"All your soul skills have already been used up, what will you fight me with?"
Luo Yu was somewhat surprised.
"Didn't you see my match?"
Qian Renxue's lips curled up.
"The so-called Continental Advanced Soul Master Contest is just child's play, nothing worth watching. I was in retreat at that time."
"No wonder," Luo Yu realized.
"You're right, all of the soul skills of this Martial Soul have indeed been used up."
"But... who told you I only have one Martial Soul?"
"What? What do you mean? Do you mean to say you have another Martial Soul?"
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes tightened.
Luo Yu had already stowed away the Nine Heavens Execution Sword in the blink of an eye and as he channeled his Soul Power, a resounding dragon's roar shot straight into the heavens.
A nine-colored dragon shadow descended against the night curtain, winding and coiling high in the sky.
Qian Renxue was shocked, her pretty face somewhat in a daze.
Her lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
"Twin Martial Souls?"
"You, you actually possess Twin Martial Souls??"
"Hush!"
Luo Yu placed two fingers to his lips and flashed a silent gesture.
Quickly, streaks of flowing light burst forth, with golden soul rings spiraling upwards, utterly stunning Qian Renxue.
"The aura of these soul rings, far exceeds that of hundred-thousand-year soul rings."
"Why do these soul rings have a golden hue, which symbolizes the deities?"
Qian Renxue's complexion changed.
"You, your second Martial Soul actually possesses so many soul rings surpassing hundred thousand years?"
Luo Yu remained unruffled, his starry eyes shining with brilliance.
"Didn't you say you had no soul skills to accompany you in the fight?"
"Now, don't six more appear?"
Qian Renxue's red lips trembled; Luo Yu had truly frightened her repeatedly today.
First was that defiant handsomeness, far surpassing ordinary people, even the proud heart of Qian Renxue couldn't help but sigh in admiration at his attractiveness.
Then there was herself, already at the level of a Titled Douluo, yet Luo Yu could still compete with her fiercely; his cultivation level wasn't at all inferior to hers, even with the inheritance from the deities.
Last of course, were these defy-the-heavens six soul rings, giving Qian Renxue a feeling of extreme danger.
Luo Yu watched the changing expressions on Qian Renxue's stunningly beautiful face.
With a teasing smile, he said, "Wife, could it be that before your husband even makes a move, you're ready to fall and swear fealty?"
"Boom!"
Qian Renxue's slender body erupted with a powerful radiance of light, with majestic holy flames burning fiercely.
A giant Seraph that resembled a towering peak emerged behind her, lavishly spilling forth the power of light, an enormous divine pressure pouring down like a tsunami, charging straight at Luo Yu.
"Who will fall to whom has yet to be seen; only I, Qian Renxue, shall reign over all, no one can conquer me!"
"Angel—"
"True Form!"
The cold and proud voice echoed as if from all directions simultaneously; Qian Renxue's aura crazily surged, with the golden Domain spreading out, sweeping over the wasteland.
The earth and sky were both consumed by the golden Domain.
Under such immense and vast pressure, Luo Yu did not gather his own aura, but instead, relaxed his body, allowing himself to be enveloped in this deadly golden Angel Domain.
He slowly shook his head.
"Not enough, still far from enough."
"If your arduous training only led to this much strength."
"Then…"
"If I make a move, you will lose."
Qian Renxue's purple pupils flickered with golden light, as if she had lost all human emotion and transformed into a true Goddess.
"Luo Yu, a single strike of my strength is enough to instantly kill a Titled Douluo."
"Are you questioning me?"
Luo Yu thought for a moment, the corners of his mouth curling up.
"Just make your move, and I promise I won't kill you."
"Boom!"
Luo Yu's indifferent words directly struck at Qian Renxue's pride.
As proud as she was, how could she accept such disdain from someone else?
"If you seek death, I shall grant it!"
"Angel—"
"Divine Armament."
Solid streaks of intense and dazzling light poured out from Qian Renxue's body.
Golden armor appeared on her limbs and torso, radiating divine fluctuations.
Her already holy and pure demeanor became even more stunning and captivating, and her aura surged once again, reaching an awe-inspiring level.
When Qian Renxue turned those cold and arrogant eyes towards Luo Yu, she saw no surprise or panic in the man before her.
Instead, she heard a long sigh from him.
"What a pity, missing a piece."
"Otherwise, a complete set of Divine Armament, would indeed be interesting."
Qian Renxue was clearly stunned.
She hadn't expected Luo Yu to dare to comment on Divine Armament, and to comment so authoritatively, with a hint of disdain for Divine Armament in his words.
She was enraged.
"Luo Yu, even lacking one piece, Divine Armament is still Divine Armament."
"With this strike, let's see how you defend!"
"Boom!"
Qian Renxue's divine light soared, holy flames erupted, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky.
The earth trembled, the wild wind shrieked.
Within the Angel Domain, she raised the Holy Sword high, a blade piercing through the heavens.
Her eyes determined, she slashed towards Luo Yu.
"What of Divine Armament?"
"Today, let me show you my full effort."
"Boom!"
The ground beneath Luo Yu crumbled, the sky instantly changing colors.
Six distinct earth-shattering dragon roars sounded together, shaking heaven and earth.
At the same time, his limbs, torso, and the wings on his back burst into six different radiant glows...
