Chapter 159 Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Divine Core!
Super Divine Artifact Purple Emperor Annihilation Blade! First-Level Godhood Annihilation God Position!
Qian Yin pressed his hand tightly to his chest, trying to suppress the restlessness within him that felt like it was tearing him apart.
The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon represented pure "destruction."
His Six-Winged Annihilation Angel controlled the "annihilation" of all things withering away.
Although the two were not exactly the same, they had an astonishing similarity and resonance at the level of laws!
"How could this be..."
Cold sweat poured down Qian Yin's forehead, and the gray-black light in his pupils flickered.
Qian Yin stared at the sky in shock, his heart filled with turbulent waves:
"The destructive intent emitted by this Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon can actually arouse the power of annihilation within me? It even... makes my Martial Soul have a crazy desire to 'compete' with it, or 'devour it'?"
"Who exactly is the owner of this third-ranked Martial Soul?!"
God Realm, Angel Temple.
Qian Yuhan suddenly stood up from his divine throne.
Nearby, Qian Renxue, who had undergone the Nine Trials of the Angels, was currently meditating cross-legged.
Her consciousness was within the small secret realm set up by Qian Yuhan, undergoing the test.
Qian Yuhan was staring intently at the image on the celestial screen, at the solitary figure standing atop the corpse of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, his back to all living beings, looking down upon the heavens and earth.
Although it was just a back view, although separated by endless time and space and the screen, that figure had already been etched deep into her soul.
Even if she turned to ashes, even if she went through countless reincarnations, she would never mistake him!
Not for becoming a god, but only to wait for his return in the mortal world!
"I have finally waited for you!"
"Clang—"
The Angelic Holy Sword, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Angel God, slipped from Qian Yuhan's trembling hand and crashed heavily onto the temple floor, making a crisp sound.
Qian Yuhan remained oblivious.
Her exquisite face was now etched with unbelievable joy and the deep affection suppressed for countless years.
Two streams of tears uncontrollably slid down her fair cheeks, dripping onto the cold ground of the temple, splashing golden ripples of divine power.
"Wei Lang..."
Qian Yuhan's voice trembled, choked with sobs, and filled with endless longing:
"It's you...it really is you!"
"I knew it, in this world, besides you, who else could wield the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, representing ultimate destruction? Who else could possess such an aura of looking down upon the world, regarding all gods as mere weeds?"
Gazing at the figure in the sky that haunted her dreams, Qian Yuhan's delicate body trembled slightly.
Her hands tightly clutched her chest, as if only in this way could she suppress the divine heart that was about to leap out of her chest.
At this moment, her longing erupted like a flood bursting its banks.
Since ascending to the divine realm, she had never stopped thinking about the man in the mortal world.
The years in the God Realm were long and monotonous. If it weren't for her unwavering belief, her hope to resurrect him and guide him back, she would probably have gone mad in this endless loneliness long ago.
But now, the appearance of the Heavenly Canopy gave her a glimmer of hope!
Moreover, one choice that Qian Yuhan was grateful for was to ascend to the God Realm!
From the time of her ascension until now, only a few decades had passed.
If she were to ascend to the next realm, she would have to wait a full twenty thousand years!
She couldn't afford to wait.
Although, according to the regulations of the God Realm Committee, she couldn't stay in the mortal realm for twenty thousand years.
"Ranked third... Purple Radiance Annihilating Heavenly Dragon..."
Qian Yuhan took a deep breath, staring intently at the Heavenly Canopy, and murmured to herself:
"The rewards for the top two were either divine cores or divine positions."
"With Wei Lang's talent and strength, and now being the third-ranked martial soul possessor, the reward bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Canopy will definitely be no less!"
Thinking of this, Qian Yuhan paced back and forth in the temple with excitement, her golden skirt swaying gracefully with her steps.
"With this reward, Wei Lang will surely break free from the shackles of mortals and directly ascend to godhood!"
"Then...then we can reunite in the God Realm!"
"Wei Lang, I'll wait for you...no matter how long, I'll wait for you!"
Qian Yuhan looked back at the sky, her eyes still wet with tears, yet filled with hope and tenderness.
She seemed to already see that man, clad in divine armor, shattering the void, arriving before her, and softly calling her name.
"Third place among the top ten peak martial souls, Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon!"
"Representative of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon martial soul: Wei Yuan!"
"Rewards will now be distributed!"
Before the words were finished, the first purple-gold beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, hovering in the center of the sky.
The light dissipated, revealing a crystal the size of a fist.
The crystal was a deep purple-gold color, and within it seemed to be sealed a roaring dragon.
Each flash was accompanied by the terrifying phenomenon of space collapsing.
"Reward One: [Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Divine Core] (Complete Version)!"
"This is the primordial divine core condensed by the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon at its peak before its demise. It contains the purest laws of destruction and the power of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's bloodline."
"Refining this core grants the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's immortal body, allowing you to transform into its peak form at any time! You will wield the ultimate laws of destruction, your soul power will transcend bottlenecks, and you will directly reach the realm of the God King!"
Upon seeing this divine core, Qian Yin felt his blood boil.
The yearning deep within his martial soul almost made him surge uncontrollably into the heavens.
However, the shock had only just begun.
Immediately afterward, a second pillar of light descended, and an extremely sharp aura, seemingly capable of splitting the entire universe in two, instantly swept across the eight wastelands.
It was a longsword with an ancient design yet exuding endless ferocity.
The blade was long and slender, entirely purplish-black, with dark golden divine patterns flowing across its edge, resembling the sharpest instrument of torture in the world.
"Reward Two: Super Divine Artifact—[Purple Radiance Annihilation Blade]!"
"This was forged from the bone of the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon, tempered by the Chaos Tribulation. It ignores defense, severs cause and effect, and shatters the void."
"Where its blade points, all things are reduced to dust! It is a devastating weapon of unparalleled offensive power!"
"A Super Divine Artifact?!"
In the God Realm, Qian Yuhan covered her lips, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Even the Angelic Holy Sword in her hand was only a divine artifact.
Only the weapons wielded by the five great enforcers of the God Realm could be called Super Divine Artifacts.
Wei Lang, not yet a god, had already obtained another Super Divine Artifact!
However, the generosity of the heavens clearly exceeded everyone's expectations.
When the third, and final, pillar of light descended, the entire heavens instantly turned pitch black.
Only a purplish-black throne, radiating an aura of endless destruction, slowly emerged from the darkness. Suspended upon that throne floated a divine core, as black as ink yet emanating a captivating purple light.
The voice from the heavens became more solemn and resounding than ever before:
"Reward Three: Inheritance of the Divine Position of a First-Level God—[God of Annihilation]!"
(Note: After the protagonist refines the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Divine Core, he will be the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon at its peak. The God of Annihilation is a lower-level deity, which the protagonist will later pass on to his descendants.)
