In a desolate mountain outside the city of the Duchy of Yusley, far from any human habitation.
"This must be the strange tree that the Soul Master who infiltrated the Holy Spirit Cult told us about after waking up. Is it the same tree as last time? Is there more than one Tree of Life?" Hu Liena asked, frowning as she looked at the strange tree that resembled the previous one.
"There is only one Tree of Life, but it has many clones. To maintain the peaceful operation of the Douluo Continent, the clones of the Tree of Life are scattered throughout the continent, absorbing evil negative energy to purify the continent while releasing spiritual energy suitable for human survival and cultivation. If the Tree of Life is completely polluted, humans will find it difficult to survive; at the very least, food will no longer be able to grow. At that time, evil Soul Masters will truly be able to dominate the continent," Qian Renyue explained to everyone.
"So, the ultimate goal of our Divine Trial this time is actually to save the polluted Tree of Life?" Xie Yue asked.
"Yes, it's less about saving the Tree of Life and more about saving ourselves," Qian Renyue explained. "That's the entrance that Soul Master mentioned. Let's go. We've arrived."
As Qian Renyue walked towards the cave, the sky suddenly changed color. A rustling sound came from nearby, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"Hahaha, the Blade of the Empire? Young Soul Masters, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." A female voice with a wicked laugh appeared in everyone's ears.
"That Soul Master, did you deliberately let him go?" Qian Renyue calmed down and asked directly.
"Yes. Our followers told us that the members of your Spirit Hall's Blade of the Empire team had arrived in the Duchy of Yusley. So I deliberately let that useless traitor escape. Things turned out just as we expected, you really did come." A woman in a blood-red, form-fitting long dress swayed her hips as she walked, sticking out her long, thin tongue to lick her face as she walked.
"So ugly." Qian Renyue lowered her eyelids; if she looked any longer, she was afraid she would vomit.
"Insolence! Hmph, I'll refine you into my blood puppets later, then we'll see if you dare to speak nonsense again!" The woman, provoked by Qian Renyue, screamed angrily.
"Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renyue. By the divine decree of the great Angel God, I slay evil spirits." Qian Renyue said no more, directly releasing her Spirit, her longsword pointing at the woman, her tone cold.
"Hahahaha, you think you can defeat a mere Soul Saint?" The woman sneered, "The Fifth Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, Nangong Cai, titled Heavenly Centipede. Little girl, remember who you lost to." With that, Nangong Cai immediately possessed her Spirit and attacked Qian Renyue.
Qian Renyue immediately released her external Spirit Bone, spreading her six wings and ascending into the sky.
"Rongrong, support. The rest of you, slay the remaining evil spirit masters!" Qian Renyue shouted to her teammates.
"Leave it to me." Ning Rongrong raised her hands, her body radiating nine-colored light. "Where the Nine Treasures Turn, There is Glazed Glass."
Qian Renyue and Nangong Cai engaged in a fierce duel.
The rest of the Imperial Blade team also chose their opponents and launched their attacks. Facing evil spirit masters far stronger than themselves while also protecting Ning Rongrong, the Imperial Blade team members seemed to be on the defensive for a time. But soon, Ning Rongrong's support arrived. With Ning Rongrong's 70% boost, the Imperial Blade team members were in no way inferior to these evil spirit masters.
Yan and Xie Yue faced a level 71 Soul Saint with the Martial Soul of the Demonic Spider. After a year, Yan and Xie Yue were now both level 69 Soul Emperors, just one step away from becoming Soul Saints.
Hu Liena faced a level 64 Soul Emperor with the Martial Soul of the Crimson Baboon. Hu Liena, now level 69, didn't expend much effort dealing with a soul beast of a lower level than herself.
Dugu Yan faced a level 63 Soul Emperor whose martial soul was the Ghost Ape. Dugu Yan's current soul power level was 65, and combined with her terrifying toxins and physical prowess, dealing with the Ghost Ape Soul Master didn't take much effort.
Hu Liena and Dugu Yan were the first to free up their hands, helping Na'er clear out the remaining evil soul masters.
Seeing that everyone had easily dealt with their opponents, and that Yan and Xie Yue weren't having much trouble either, Ning Rongrong turned her attention to the battle between Qian Renyue and Nangong Cai.
Tianwu Douluo, martial soul centipede. Perhaps due to its many legs, its speed was incredibly fast. It was skilled in poison.
However, all of these were countered by Qian Renyue. No matter how fast it was, it couldn't outrun Qian Renyue's Thunderclap, and no matter how strong its poison, the evil soul master's poison could be evolved by the Angel martial soul. The only difference was the difference in soul power. However, this wasn't Qian Renyue's first time fighting a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.
Wielding the Dragon Roar Divine Sword, Qian Renyue unleashed a destructive domain beneath her feet. Ning Rongrong's support followed. In terms of speed, Qian Renyue wasn't afraid.
In the blink of an eye, sparks and lightning streaked across the field. Many sword energies had already fallen. Qian Renyue's second soul skill, the Star Chasing Array, was also unleashed, her speed reaching a terrifying level.
Faced with Qian Renyue's frenzied attacks, Nangong Cai's expression turned extremely ugly. She wasn't a power-attack or defense-type soul master; as an agility-attack type, once Qian Renyue caught up in speed, she had no extra means to defend against Qian Renyue's returning dragon roar. On the contrary, countless of the centipede's legs were broken.
"I'm so angry! You brat, you're too arrogant!" Nangong Cai shouted angrily, and then her seventh soul ring lit up behind her, "Martial Soul True Body."
"Falling Flower Sword, explode!" Qian Renyue roared.
Sword energy exploded around Nangong Cai like dazzling fireworks, layers of dizziness washing over her, instantly disrupting her Martial Soul True Form.
"Wind and Rain Sword, go!" Qian Renyue, utilizing the lightness and agility of her sword, swiftly unleashed several sword energies, a torrential downpour of energy.
These sword energies either struck Nangong Cai, slicing her skin, or exploded around her, stunning her.
"Sword, come!" Qian Renyue pointed her longsword, sword and man becoming one. The unexploded sword energies on the field rapidly converged behind Qian Renyue, forming a giant sword.
"Divine Dragon Slash!" Qian Renyue swung her heavy sword down, instantly changing the color of the wind and rain.
When Nangong Cai's body was cleaved in two by Qian Renyue, she probably never imagined that she, a titled Douluo, would die so easily at the hands of a Soul Saint.
Seeing Nangong Cai dead, Qian Renyue slowly landed, retrieving her external soul bone.
Qian Renyue , her longsword supporting her, was slightly out of breath. "Your Highness, are you alright?" Hu Liena quickly stepped forward to support her.
"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted from the exertion," Qian Renyue waved her hand.
"Sister! Are you alright?" Ning Rongrong also rushed forward to ask.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'll be fine after a rest," Qian Renyue smiled and waved her hand, saying in a teasing tone, "She's much easier to deal with than Tang Hao."
"That's for sure. After all, Tang Hao has been called the number one genius on the continent, and the Clear Sky Hammer has been called the number one weapon spirit on the continent for many years. Naturally, she's not easy to deal with." Hu Liena took out some dry food from her soul tool and handed it to Qian Renyue.
"Perhaps Nangong Cai didn't actually cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo," Qian Renyue said.
"What do you mean?" The others looked over at the same time.
"This isn't the first time I've fought a Title Douluo, but the pressure Nangong Cai exudes isn't like the pressure one would feel facing a Title Douluo. Even if she's far weaker than Tang Hao, it shouldn't be this intense. Some of my suspicions still need verification. Let's rest for a while, then go inside and take a look. Perhaps they left something behind that can verify my conjectures," Qian Renyue explained to everyone.
"Brother and the others have finished their battle too. Let's rest first, then go investigate inside," Hu Liena pointed in the direction of Xie Yue and the others. They had indeed finished their battle.
