Douluo: Rely on the dress-up system to hold the god-woman set

Pure and holy silver erupted the moment before the deep black tide overturned towards her, occupying the entire field of vision.

The impact of the collision of two rule-level divine powers made Qian Yuelong and Tang San feel slightly dizzy at the same time.

The frosty white eyes closed slightly, and Tang San, who felt a strong threat not far away, let out an inhuman roar from his mouth. His distorted head with black spots and scales turned, and he accurately locked the intruder into him. An uninvited guest in the divine realm, eyes with pupils completely covered in black were exposed to the flowing black tide.

The dirty and chaotic malice is like many dark watercolors painted together. Just looking at it feels like serious mental pollution.

Muddy, powerfully polluting divine power burst out from his eyes.

Qian Yuelong, who was adapting to the influx of majestic power, raised his eyes. His frost-colored pupils imbued with strong divinity reflected the impact of divine power that human eyes could not capture. The translucent golden lotus shadow condensed and formed from his fingertips. Swirling out.

"Oh!"

Two divine attacks of the same level collided, and the Kuroshio seemed to be an overloaded silicone vessel that could not bear it but was forced to cover it, twisting and deforming like plasticine being manipulated.

"Boom--!!"

The light golden thunder tore apart the thick black clouds surging above the Lima Plain. The majestic power between heaven and earth, which to humans was like a natural disaster, gathered and circulated, forming a huge cold blue full moon as countless people looked up.

"what is that?"

"moon?"

"Why is there a blue moon?"

"But isn't it still daytime?"

People were terrified, and strands of black mist unconsciously overflowed from their bodies, flowing into the twisted black tide, providing it with nutrients.

The huge negative emotions are like a recurring tide, rising to an unprecedented height.

Bibi Dong returned to his normal human form, holding the money scepter in his hand, standing on the [-]-meter-high city wall, staring at the huge waves rolling in that could easily submerge the entire Jialing Pass, and took a deep breath. , anger sinking in Dantian, commanded the soul masters who had withdrawn near or inside the city wall to support a huge soul power barrier, preparing to resist the Black Sea.

——"Everyone, defend Jialing Pass!"

The escape speed of the Spirit Empire army could not keep up with the expansion speed of Black Mud. She could escape, but everything she had done to reach her current height would be meaningless!

Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with crazy determination.

No matter what, you can never retreat!

On the outer circle of the moat of Jialing Pass, half of the body was covered in blood. The scarred Yue Guan looked at the rolling black waves, his whole body covered with a dark blood-colored light, and he held up the strange velvet Tongtian Ju in the form of Wuhun's true body in his hand. .

"Shhhh-"

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Yue Guan raised his blood-stained face and looked at the chasing figures wrapped in majestic soul power. His eyes showed a desperate look, and the black ninth soul ring kept humming.

Tang Hao, who had lost his sect relatives and lost his only son in disguise, had blood-red eyes. He swung the Clear Sky Hammer, which was disproportionate to his body, and smashed it into the moonlight with three other soul masters who were risking their lives for revenge.

"Yueguan! Die!"

"The sixth soul skill——!"

"The fifth soul skill——!"

"The eighth soul skill——!"

"The ninth soul skill—"

The soft yellow velvet flaps were smeared with unknown blood red. Yue Guan coughed up a large mouthful of semen and blood, and there were varying degrees of bleeding from his ear holes and nasal cavity.

"Flowers fall, people's hearts are broken!"

The thick blood-colored light centered on the strange velvet giant chrysanthemum, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky, suddenly exploded, swallowing him and Tang Hao together.

Yue Guan, whose meridians were simultaneously injured by the Clear Sky Hammer and other soul skills, raised his face covered in blood and looked at the enemy who had endured his ninth soul skill. His eyes showed the joy of successful revenge, mixed with a trace of Deep grief and tiny hope coexisted. The whole person was like a kite with broken strings, falling heavily to the ground. All the limbs and bones were crushed and fractured, making it impossible to move.

Yue Guan's chest, which was almost embedded in the pit, heaved violently, and he coughed up a large amount of blood mixed with visceral fragments, which spread over his cheeks.

Tang Hao and the others were not much better.

His only other arm, which had already lost one arm and one leg, was blown into pieces by Yue Guan's ninth soul skill. The strange poison of the Strange Velvet Babel Chrysanthemum quickly invaded the body through the scratched wound. Diffuse toxins.

Even if Tang Hao wasn't cut in half by the bloody light slash like the unlucky soul master next to him, he would still be half-dead.

A huge shadow shrouded her, and her vitality slowly passed away. Yue Guan, who was in a state of waiting for death, reflected the black sea of ​​mud that was about to overturn in the next second. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

The rolling black waves roared like hungry tigers and wolves. Rows of mountain-like waves with a height well over a hundred meters occupied the field of vision.

Tang Hao, who had not yet avenged his revenge, stared with blood-red eyes unwillingly, and the wave poured down.

"Wow--!!"

Countless black sharp ghost hands stretched out from the sea of ​​mud, dragging both the living and the dead into an even darker abyss.

Yue Guan closed his eyes resignedly, with a relieved and peaceful expression.

The black tide greedily surrounded them, and the black ghost hand almost touched Yueguan's arm. When he was about to pull people into the death lair, one after another colorful lotus shadows emerged from under the people who were about to be swallowed by the black tide. Unscrew your feet.

Like spring flowers, colorful and colorful, blooming one after another, saving people one after another shrouded in the shadow of death.

"I, I'm not dead?!"

"what are these?"

"lotus?"

"Quick, look up there!"

"The protective wall of Jialing Pass!"

Amidst the exclamations, golden, holly, mist blue, emerald green, cherry red, and lavender light mist intertwined into a gorgeous and dreamy light in front of the soul power barrier formed by the soul masters. Color is like a cocoon of light or a seed, peeling off its colorful coat layer by layer to reveal its original appearance.

The elders in the Elders' Hall focused their gazes, with deep disbelief on their faces:

"That is."

"lotus."

Bibi Dong murmured.

Yuelong!It's Yuelong!

Hu Liena, who was standing behind Bibi Dong, had a surge of warmth in her eyes. In her dim field of vision, a strange yet familiar figure was exposed in the air as the layers of lotus petals opened.

The mithril moon pattern, which contains the power of some kind of rules, is looming among the layered frost-white skirts. The tube top of the same color is also dotted with cold pendants and dark patterns of mithril.

The snow-white waist exposed to the air is hung with a chain of clear crystal beads. The misty white mist wraps the quiet moonlight, revealing a hazy brilliance, and outlines it like a mist. Thin and elegant feathers are wrapped around the arms, and the whole body is still surrounded. There is a circle of stars, like a divine wheel.

The long silver-white hair curled into an elegant arc is rendered by a layer of platinum halo, like stars and the moon, surrounding the twinkling stars.

Pure white down feathers are strung together by silver-blue crystal chains, turning into feather crowns and falling in the silver-white hair. Between the golden wings between the eyebrows, there is an upright golden crescent moon, and there is still a faint flow of blue and silver. Glossy, showing its final form.

She raised her right hand, emptyly holding a floating golden lotus that was not soaked in other colors.

The colorful light mist overflowing from the lotus petals smeared her delicate facial features, just like the statues enshrined in the sacrificial hall. Her eyes were dyed with strong divinity, showing Qian Yuelong's original lavender eye color after blending with divine power. .

[Hand Accessories: Set of "Oracle" Parts·Divine Power (S Level) - The Floating Lotus blooming at the fingertips is the eternal faith here

(Passive: Time and space on the specified object stop, consuming 1000 faith points per second)]

[Handheld: Parts of the "Oracle" set·Eternal Stars (S level) - Prayers will be turned into the fire of the world, held in the palms of the Son of God, and heal wounds.

The moment the hidden mission of the suit was activated, the bottleneck of the broken spirit realm where Qian Yuelong was stuck in the third level was shattered, and she entered the fourth level of "Taiwei".

The fourth level of Tianyan Jue is "Too Wei", the affinity for the avenue has increased, and the mental power has broken through to a threshold that is even more terrifying than in the previous life, and can even use the power of heaven and earth for one's own use.

Even if his soul power only breaks through level 1, for Qian Yuelong, who has entered the fourth level, soul power cultivation is no longer particularly important.

With her level 97 soul power cultivation, she could now mobilize the power of heaven and earth that was comparable to a miracle only when she reached the level 99 demigod realm.

The angel god's main source of authority and power comes from the sky and the sun, the sea god is the sea, the Rakshasa god is the dead soul and malice, and the Shura god is blood and killing.

As heirs to the divine throne, when Qian Renxue and the others' affinity to the divine throne reaches a certain value, they can use the authority of the gods to control part of their power.

The same is true for Qian Yuelong.

The S-class suit is completely fused and bound to Qian Yuelong's soul.

There is no need to inherit the throne of any god, and there is no need to worry about power.

Now she is a true god!
As her thoughts moved slightly, Qian Yuelong raised her eyes to look at Tang San, who had been completely promoted to the Fallen Angel. She mobilized the power of heaven and earth in this world, and the cold blue round moon suspended in the sky gave off a quiet light, responding to him.

The sacred pressure that suddenly descended on the entire Lima Plain and in front of Jialing Pass caused the menacing black tide to freeze for a few seconds.

"Yuelian."

Two ethereal words came out from Qian Yuelong's lips.

The condensed moonlight gathered in the blink of an eye, and the sky seemed like the unreachable moon became a within reach but fatal natural disaster. People looked at the sky in horror.

I saw the cold blue moon starting from the middle of the bottom, suddenly cracking, overflowing with translucent moonlight, pouring down like a waterfall, and pouring onto the turbid and deadly black mud.

Like the melting reaction of fire and ice, the black sea of ​​mud began to twist and shrink.

People can even hear sharp and frightening inhuman screams in their ears, and the source of the sound comes from the center of the mud sea.

They were overjoyed to find that the dark tide was quickly fading under the background of screams and roars.

Just as he was about to shout out the joy of surviving the disaster, he suddenly heard another roar like a bell, hitting the eardrums hard and making people dizzy.

The protective mud that had submerged the body receded, revealing black and red lines that looked like raw meat, covering the whole body like armor.

Terrifyingly long black scales grow irregularly on the neck, back, arms, and even the side of the face.

Large and small black spots covered the originally handsome face like scales. Tang San, who had been completely reduced to a fallen angel, could no longer see the slightest bit of human appearance. There was no trace of humanity in the violent and bloodthirsty pure black pupils. Under the sticky malice and killing.

Those who looked directly at the fallen angel Tang San in the pollution had their brains shut down to varying degrees, their severe limbs and bodies began to twitch, they rolled their eyes and fell to the ground, looking like they were suffering from a sudden illness.

For the vast majority of human beings, the black tide that poses a fatal threat has been eliminated.

Qian Yuelong, who stood in the center of the lotus platform, looked at the inhuman Tang San indifferently. Just when he was about to take action, he paused slightly, turned his head, and looked into the void with emotion.

It crosses the dimension of space and the barriers of the world.

Pure, light purple eyes full of divinity collided into the depths of another pair of blue-violet eyes filled with strong Taoism.

Ethereal and vast, it is like an eternal star road in the universe. The road is full of dangerous shadows covered with thorns, with no edges visible, but it still attracts people to explore.

The blue-black wide sleeves floated like spread butterfly wings, and beautiful and grotesque lines bloomed on the snow-white skin, including half of the snow-covered wrists.

Like the ink spilled on the starry sky, it flashes with strange light. If you stare at it for a long time, you may even feel dizzy.

It's the same as Tang San who became a fallen angel and had the ability to pollute, but it's different.

The pollution of the former causes people to fall into the abyss of extreme evil, but the latter is demonic and full of unknowns.

The eyes of the two sons of another world who stood in the world of Douluo but seemed to be standing at a fork in the road met.

No words of explanation were needed. The two children from another world, who were standing in the Douluo world but seemed to be standing at a fork in the road, met their eyes and instantly understood everything that happened in each other's world.

"It seems that my sister from another world was defeated in the end."

Qian Yuelong, who read the fate line of another parallel world, looked at a trace of sadness between his brows, but it soon faded away.

In another Douluo parallel world, in the body of a demon, the new demon god who achieved extraordinary attainment of enlightenment drifted slightly, penetrated the barrier of the world, and saw the battlefield of Jialing Pass where war was raging and corpses were everywhere.

The Demon God was silent for a moment, and looked at Qian Yuelong, but his eyes reflected another figure that was very similar to Qian Yuelong, and his lips moved:

"You obviously still have a chance to change your destiny."

He was referring to 886 who intercepted Qian Yuelong halfway and brought Qian Yuelong to Douluo World.

"If you were given a different path, would you regret becoming the Son of God?"

The Demon God knew very well that this being with an aura that was incompatible with his own had the ability to become a god in the middle of the process and forcibly escape from the Douluo World. However, he did not understand why the other party did not and still assumed the responsibility of the "Son of God". .

Upon hearing the Demon God's question, Qian Yuelong chuckled. On her delicate face, the strong divinity became a little lighter and a little more human.

He stepped over the demon god and walked toward the piles of corpses in front of him, leaving only a trail of flowers behind him, running against him.

"I don't regret going down this path."

Ascension does not mean the end, but a new beginning and a new starting point for trekking up another mountain.Just like He came to this world and chose to take on new responsibilities.

Because this is also a new practice.

Qian Yuelong closed her eyes, and the faces she was destined to meet flashed through her mind.

He breathed out softly, opened his eyes, paused slightly and said to the demon behind him who was deep in thought:

"By the way, victor. Can I make a small request to you?"

"As an exchange price, if I win this battle, I will give you a part of the creation merit. In this way, another weak soul that is silent in the soul can also come to life, right?"

The devil's breath stagnated, and the gaze on his back became hot.

"If you agree, please treat the other people of the Spirit Empire who survived this war kindly."

"Time will witness everything."

"Now, I'm going to practice my way."

"I wish you, too, a bright future."

As the last words fell, the invisible barrier blocking his steps shattered, and Tang San's ferocious appearance and the tragic battlefield riddled with holes came into view.

He raised his hand, and nine majestic soul rings breathed out, and the last golden halo rotated faster.

"The first—"

"younger sister."

The cold and familiar voice spanned several kilometers of distance and space and clearly reached Qian Yuelong's ears.

Qian Yuelong paused for a moment before a feather-like light and shadow suddenly broke into his field of vision.

".angel feathers?"

Snake Spear Douluo reached out his hand to catch a piece of light feather uncertainly.

The next second, brilliant and warm golden light penetrated the layers of clouds and formed a huge burning sphere, like the rising sun, illuminating the excited faces.

In the center of the rising sun, the true fire of the sun formed a halo, surrounding Qian Renxue, who was wearing an angelic outfit with golden patterns.

The golden hair flew in random arcs in the air.

The position where the angel's assessment mark is branded between the eyebrows is blocked by a golden ring of gems.

One wave after another is above the ring, with a total of seven wave crests forming a crown-like forehead ornament.

Feather-like patterns spread across every part of the angel's holy armor. The six pure and transparent golden wings stretched and vibrated slightly, surrounding the unquenchable true fire of the sun, burning densely.

Circles of golden ripples swayed from Qian Renxue's body, drawing round arcs in the air. At a glance, they looked like a golden sun.

Qian Yuelong, who was surrounded by a ring of stars, also looked up at Qian Renxue.

It's like the sun and moon actually coexisting in the same sky.

One is the blazing sun, the other is the quiet moon.

The next second, the real fire swayed, and a series of sonic buzzing sounded in the air.

The golden stream of light came forward in the blink of an eye.

The scorching sun comes to the moon and stands side by side with it.

Qian Renxue bluffed with her five fingers, and the golden angel holy sword appeared out of thin air. He held it in his hand and pointed the sword at the battlefield. His cold and solemn voice revealed a gentle and expressive voice that belonged to Qian Renxue:

"Together we will."

Qian Yuelong withdrew her gaze, her curled and slender frost-white eyelashes quivering slightly like butterfly wings.

"it is good."

The golden feather-moon pattern between her eyebrows lit up, and the complex golden patterns, like divine patterns, bloomed on Qian Yuelong's skin.

The huge lotus flower under his feet buzzed with light, changed its shape, and turned into a lotus umbrella that Qian Yuelong was most familiar with and fell into his palm.

His instincts as a child were not wrong.

The true form of the Floating Golden Lotus is not a plant martial spirit, nor is it the mutated Seraph Martial Spirit 2.0, but the embodiment of the countless merits and virtues he gained from helping the road in his previous life.

Contrary to the previous indifference, the divine power of merit and virtue that now contains the power of pure gift rules is a perfect countermeasure to Tang San's black mud!
"Om-!"

The real fire instantly subsided, the moonlight dimmed instantly, and the two bursts of divine power simultaneously pushed their bodies, turning into two meteors, one golden and one white, and flew toward Tang San, who had broken free from the lock of the double sacred aura.

The intense golden light was like sunlight, roasting and distorting the filth attached to the surface of Tang San's Poseidon Trident artifact, which was polluted into black.

Driven by the survival instinct, Tang San once again summoned a large amount of black mud with the ability to pollute and devour. While preparing to protect himself, he also condensed his own divine power on the dirty black trident to meet Qian Renxue in the electric light and flint. and Qian Yuelong’s intensive attacks.

"Boom-bang-!!!"

A series of sonorous explosions sounded in the air.

Even the elders of the Titled Douluo Realm could not clearly see the process of their confrontation. Only Bibi Dong could capture the sporadic sword blade trajectories and feel how fierce each collision of the three terrifying forces was.

In the fierce exchange, taking advantage of the opportunity for Qian Yuelong's rotating umbrella to attack, Qian Renxue relied on her instantaneous burst of divine power to completely lock onto Tang San, who was trying to fish in the murky waters of the accompanying black mud.

He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out the blood of God on his holy angel sword. His whole body seemed to surge a bit, and with another loud bang, the angelic armor on his body instantly shattered.

Like melted gold, it gathered into a golden-red flame and swept out.

The power of the sun's true fire formed by the shattering of the angel's divine armor finally condensed into a seraph holding a holy sword in the air. The divine thoughts erupted by the seraph were used as the purest pressure, surrounded by golden-red light. Seraph's six huge wings instantly hugged each other, and the terrifying energy contained in them turned the surrounding space into a distorted chaotic color!

"The ninth soul skill, the World-Burning Golden Lotus."

The golden halo floated out from the feet of Qian Yuelong who recalled the lotus umbrella. Under the golden feather moon mark between the eyebrows and the ring on Qian Renxue's forehead, the real angel mark suddenly lit up, a self-evident tacit understanding and divine power. The resonance is passed between each other.

The huge golden-red lotus instantly closed its petals, returned to its bud state, and quickly expanded into a complete round body, turning into a blood moon of the same size as the blazing sun condensed under the Seraph sword, and crashed into Tang San together!
"Combined soul skills, the sun and the moon shine together!"

The fighting instinct almost engraved in his soul made Tang San, who felt extremely threatened, instantly condense all the spirit rings he had obtained into one, triggering the special secret technique passed down by the Haotian Sect - Ring Explosion, using the power of the divine realm. out.

Qian Yuelong's eyes were slightly cold, and "Divine Power" was passively activated, intending to attack Tang San with all his strength, his figure sluggish in place, and the time and space in his body entered a stagnant state as the faith value of 1000 per second was reduced.

But within four seconds, Tang San forcefully broke free from the lock of "divine power".

A wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of Qian Yuelong's lips after receiving the backlash.

But in the few seconds left, the charging time for Sun and Moon Tonghui has been completed.

On the contrary, Tang San, who had not completely exploded all the spirit rings, could only replenish his divine power and charge forward with all his strength.

"Boom!!!!"

The three colliding divine powers formed an unparalleled shock wave, swinging through the air.

A halo of golden red mixed with murky black streaks exploded instantly, and even the clouds and mist above a hundred meters high evaporated and disappeared in this blow.

There was a huge buzzing. Even Bibi Dong, who was in the demigod state, felt a tightness in his chest, dizziness, and ringing in his ears.

Even though the eruption was in the air, the terrifying pressure still caused everyone below the Title Douluo level to fall to the ground, trembling and unable to move.

Under the ultimate combo that consumed the spirit and blood of the gods, Tang San's ferocious body was shattered into pieces of flesh and silk under the huge impact of the explosion. Half of his head was broken, with black and green sticky bubbles that were the same as the black mud, relying on the silk-like of flesh and blood, struggling to maintain life.

Qian Renxue's frost-white feathers in front of Qian Renxue were smeared with blood. His figure slightly swayed twice in mid-air, fell backwards, and was scraped out by another one in the collision of divine power. Hands with exposed scars supported his back.

"well enough?"

Qian Renxue's voice was slightly hoarse as a ray of golden blood overflowed from the corner of her lips.

Qian Yuelong, who had almost borne the entire shock wave head-on, shook her head and swallowed the sweetness that surged into her throat. With just a look, Qian Renxue understood what Qian Yuelong wanted to express.

"Om-!"

The blood-stained angelic holy sword was raised, and it stabbed Tang San with only half of his head left and barely alive.

At the same time, Qian Yuelong held her hands slightly, and a transparent six-pointed star appeared between her palms, with her as the center, overflowing with quiet and gentle healing light.

[Beep—The hidden mission of the suit is completed. 】

Half of the head, which had a strong aura of pollution, was annihilated by the burning true fire of the sun.

The faith value is deducted by 500, and the light of the healing stars spreads over the people marked as friendly. No matter how serious the injury is, they are all healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The same is true for Qian Renxue.

He exhaled a breath mixed with the smell of rust, released his mental power, and after confirming that Tang San's aura had really dissipated, he looked in the direction of the Star Luo Empire. The cold and majestic voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it was overwhelming and spread across the sky. All over the plain.

"The Fallen Angel is dead, and the Wuhun Empire's victory is inevitable. The people of the Star Luo Empire have heard clearly, and I will give you two days to decide whether to surrender or to stubbornly resist and bring about your own destruction."

"The saint is kind, and the sword of the angel as a guardian will only be aimed at those who insist on starting a war and preventing change."

"We belong to the Wuhun Empire, and the entire army has been withdrawn!"

Qian Renxue bypassed Bibi Dong as the Empress of the Spirit Empire and gave the order directly.

Bibi Dong looked at the two people standing side by side, her eyes closed, and she couldn't tell whether she was mostly happy and happy, or more of something else.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes again and looked calmly at the shattered Star Luo Empire, with a flash of determination and heat in her eyes.

Because she understands that a new glorious era and a cultivation craze are coming!
Before ascending from Douluo Continent, she will fulfill her original ideals and push the Spirit Empire to new heights.

Watching the dismal retreat of Xingluo's army, suddenly, a strong heart palpitation spread throughout his body.

Qian Renxue subconsciously looked at her sister beside her, taking in Qian Yuelong's equally stunned look, and asked in a tight voice, "Yuelong?"

[Host, our main mission has been completed.You can leave this world at any time with the "Oracle" set as a mission reward. 】

886's hesitant voice sounded, covering Qian Renxue's shout.

Qian Yuelong blinked his eyes, and when he met Qian Renxue's worried gaze, he was silent for a second and said: 'After leaving, will I return to the world I was originally supposed to ascend to? '

[Well, that’s right. Since you, the host, were cut off by me, you may not be able to go to the world you originally ascended to.] 886’s voice gradually became smaller, and then suddenly became louder:

[But don’t forget the host!You have received a hidden mission reward!The recognition of world consciousness you now have allows you to freely choose the world after ascension! 】

They are still very conscientious qwq
'Then just wait. '

After getting the answer, Qian Yuelong shook her head to Qian Renxue, saying that she was fine, and a gentleness appeared in her eyes.

'Now that you have taken on the responsibility, just be responsible to the end before leaving. '

'There is still much unfinished business. '

After everything on Douluo Continent is finished, it won't be too late to ascend.

It's just different from the previous life when he practiced alone and ascended alone. This time, maybe he is no longer alone.

"Go home first, sister. We have to resurrect grandpa first."

Qian Yuelong took the initiative to take Qian Renxue's hand and said lightly.

"Leave it to mother and the others later."

The sudden palpitation in my heart slowly faded away with the warmth of my palms.

Qian Renxue looked at her sister's delicate and indifferent profile, and the corners of her lips slowly raised into a smile.

"it is good."

Then they can just be lazy.
