After Qian Renxue finished merging the three jars of Primal Peak, her entire body shuddered, and a flap of her wings released several streaks of radiant light spanning ten thousand feet.
Then, two angel statues rose out of thin air on either side of her, sacred and majestic.
A long golden ladder extended from beneath her feet, and behind her, the Gate of Angels stood waiting.
Barring any accidents, she was already no different from a god, lacking only the final ritual.
After she slaughtered the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and extinguished Tang Sans alias's mental barrier, arriving here was actually within reason.
Aside from the lingering regret of Jialing Pass, it did not hinder the progression of events.
Was Qian Renxue truly about to become a god?
At this moment, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo finally recognized the face of this angel.
After careful thought and combining their experiences in Spirit Hall, they confirmed her identity.
"Miss Qian Renxue?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was the first to speak; his jaw had already dropped in shock from the appearance of the Spirit Bone, and now he couldn't close it at all.
It had been several years since they last met her, when she visited Spirit Hall in the guise of Xue Qinghe.
And it had been over a decade since they saw her true form; she had been an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire since she was nine years old.
Facing such an encounter now, Ghost Douluo didn't know what to do either.
Perhaps the slaughter of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was caused by Qian Renxue, and the plan had been moved forward?
The existence of these facts allowed Bone Douluo to notice some clues as well, but he wasn't certain enough.
"The Qian family bloodline? The legendary God-given Angel? Now your Spirit Hall has no way to deny it."
Bone Douluo didn't care anymore; with a set logic in mind, he decided to proceed recklessly.
But in essence, Qian Renxue's personal actions were not linked to Spirit Hall; Bibi Dong, as the Supreme Pontiff, was completely unaware.
"It seems the Supreme Pontiff didn't guess correctly either; our strategy might have to change."
Ghost Douluo thought for a moment; he and Chrysanthemum had come this time just to exchange information with Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.
And to scout for movements within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family; this was actually just ordinary daily work.
And as the Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong had always believed the plan was seamless, but she had clearly guessed wrong.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was also dazed; he had been saddled with such a troublesome matter for no reason.
After all, Spirit Hall's relationship with various powers was still decent; once the news of the Imperial Family's destruction spread throughout the world...
Ghost and Chrysanthemum would be pushed to the forefront of the storm regardless.
So their idea was to go all out and eliminate Bone Douluo.
Chu Feng was ready to watch the show; in his eyes, he had no biased stance, as Spirit Hall and the Glazed Tile School were much the same.
He treated their battle as a special performance before Qian Renxue's apotheosis; after all, attaining godhood required gathering the world's luck and would take some time.
Also, this path to godhood was similar to the final scene of Qian Renxue's Nine Trials of the Angel God in the original work, but it was fundamentally different.
The one who ascended through this path to godhood would be a god consecrated by endless laws and principles of the Dao.
One who could rival the Sanqing in brilliance, travel with the Dao Ancestor, and befriend Celestial Spirits.
Controlling the universe and presiding over the earth, able to reverse the Five Elements and manipulate Yin and Yang.
Knowing the mysteries of eternity and understanding the consequences of the future.
It could be said that the room for imagination was infinite, and the framework was far more mysterious and profound.
Whereas the god trials of Douluo were nothing more than another manifestation of privilege; they told you a sophistical fact: even gods must be obedient.
Just as Chu Feng finished his musings, the two parties in the lower realm had already clashed.
As Bone Douluo faced off against Ghost and Chrysanthemum, although it was one against two, Bone was not intimidated.
The Glazed Tile Pagodas of several Spirit Saint disciples were not to be trifled with; they were true elites of the Glazed Tile School.
Compared to Chen Xin's previous group, their seniority was deeper, so their performance was better.
Furthermore, the Primordial Chaos Qi filling the sky had not yet fully dissipated; perhaps there were still opportunities left within it.
Therefore, the outcome of this battle was hard to determine.
"Second Spirit Ability: Bone Dragon Heavy Armor!"
A set of invisible heavy armor composed of scales shed by a giant winged Bone Dragon, capable of increasing the user's defense fivefold.
Bone Douluo knew his health pool wasn't deep; he wouldn't be able to hold out otherwise.
Next was: "First Spirit Ability: Dragon Bone Spikes!"
Dragon Bone Spikes randomly burst from the ground, dealing double the damage of a normal attack to the enemy.
These spikes targeted the positions of Chrysanthemum and Ghost, frequently erupting.
Chrysanthemum was fine, as he had his flower for protection, but Ghost relied on ground advantage and was being restricted.
"Dead Chrysanthemum, help me!"
As soon as Ghost finished shouting, thick Ghostly Mist rose from beneath his feet, increasing his movement speed.
Then, Chrysanthemum seized the opportunity to use his third Spirit Ability, Breath Barrier, using petals to surround Ghost Douluo and help him advance.
Those bone spikes were unable to break through the petal barrier; the spirit power consumption of the two sides' Spirit Abilities was not on the same level.
But the elite disciples of the Glazed Tile School were not slacking either; they nimbly summoned their Glazed Tile Pagodas, going through the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth abilities all at once.
Yes, although the disciples could not stack their effects to buff Bone Douluo, they could consume all their spirit power at once to increase his different attributes; once one effect wore off, another disciple would take over.
This was essentially using them as disposable items; their approach was quite bold.
Bone Douluo did not waste such a good opportunity either, further utilizing his fifth Spirit Ability: Bone Dragon Phantom.
Combining himself with the phantom of the Bone Dragon, during his ultra-fast movement, it seemed as if the dragon shadow was about to burst forth.
In this state, every punch and palm strike from Bone Douluo was not far off from that of the Bone Dragon.
Ghost Douluo summoned clones to confront him head-on, creating a pincer attack from front and back.
Bang, bang, bang~
The strikes of the fists vibrated with spirit power ripples, and combined with the hidden Primordial Chaos Qi, the damage was amplified.
The century-old giant stone walls of the palace gates were shaken until dust flew and stones rolled, with large chunks falling off.
Some careless soldiers died just like that in front of the imperial road to which they thought they could dedicate their lives.
Meanwhile, the Glazed Tile School disciples were covered in dust, making a complete mess of the surrounding environment in their panic.
Without Chu Feng having to lift a finger, this group of dregs who relied on Heaven Dou and flattered Heaven Dou destroyed this place themselves.
Chrysanthemum Douluo noticed something was wrong; he wanted to end the battle quickly.
He summoned a long string of golden chrysanthemums that began to spin like blades, charging towards Bone Douluo.
Bone Douluo's brow furrowed; he had the thought of summoning his Spirit Avatar.
Before that, he first thrust out even longer and sharper bone spikes, reaching hundreds of meters in length.
Ghost Douluo's movement was temporarily restricted, forcing him to retreat, but he was still looking for an opportunity to strike.
The three Titled Douluo fought to the extreme, completely disregarding the existence of Heaven Dou City.
Naturally, they cared even less about the changes in the sky at this moment, as a profound darkness was gradually descending.
Chu Feng had thought this moment wouldn't come; it turned out that the influence of karma was truly this far-reaching.
In the original god trials, Qian Renxue had confronted her dark side; now, on the path toward the Dao, her dark side had arrived as expected.
The path to godhood was instantly covered in a layer of shadow, and Qian Renxue was hidden within it, her figure no longer visible.
The three people on the ground looked up at the same time.
Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed: "What kind of energy is this? How can it rival a Million-year Spirit Beast?"
