Chen Yi's eyes suddenly sharpened as he focused intently on the demon spirit before him.
What stood before him was rely a remnant of the Angel God, but after thousands of years of nurturing and training in the Demon Realm, its power had steadily reached the level of a third-tier god.
In the God Realm, a third-tier god might not seem impressive, but it was still a formal deity—far superior to a priest.
Chen Yi was not weak now, but facing a true third-tier god, the gap was still obvious.
However, this battle had to be fought!
The demon spirit's purpose was clear: to seize the Angel God position. Yet Qian Renxue had already completed the seven trials and beco the Angel God, with the inheritance proceeding smoothly.
If she abandoned her divine status at this point, all her previous efforts would be wasted, and it might even cause irreparable damage to her foundation and future.
"In that case… I can only experience your excellent skills," Chen Yi said in a low voice, his expression turning serious.
"Very well!" The demon spirit smiled with admiration. "Thunder God's successor, let see what is so special about the person he chose!"
Chen Yi did not turn around but glanced at Qian Renxue behind him. She imdiately understood. Although worried, she knew staying close would only be a burden.
Without hesitation, she flapped her wings and quickly retreated, flying rapidly to the very edge of the space.
Seeing this, the demon spirit raised one finger and gently pointed in Qian Renxue's direction.
An invisible wave spread quietly, instantly forming a spatial barrier around her to protect her from the effects.
Chen Yi felt sowhat relieved at the demon spirit's action. Although the opponent was hostile, the move carried the forr Angel God's pride.
The next mont, Chen Yi took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the powerful enemy before him.
Buzz—!
The lightning runes engraved on Thunder God's Twin maces shone brightly and emitted a low hum.
Lightning roared violently around Chen Yi, enveloping him in thunderous battle armor. His vast soul power poured unreservedly into the two maces, making the lightning running along them even more intense.
At the sa ti, deep within his body, the perfect golden physique tempered by the Thunder Dragon soul bones resonated faintly, instantly pushing his power to its limit.
In the sea of his consciousness, a sacred sensation surged and fused with the boiling soul power. The three core soul cores within his body began rotating fiercely.
At this mont, Chen Yi's aura was powerful enough to surpass that of an ordinary divine officer.
The demon spirit sensed Chen Yi's rising montum, and the admiration in his eyes grew stronger. However, admiration aside, the demon spirit had no intention of hesitating.
"Impressive montum… but that alone is not enough!"
The demon spirit spoke calmly. Before he finished speaking, his eerie aura suddenly erupted, like an invisible curtain descending upon Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's eyes remained expressionless, unmoved by the heavy pressure. Lightning flashed beneath his feet, and his figure instantly blurred, as if rging with the Twin maces of the Thunder God in his hands.
"The body moves with the mace, and the mace draws forth thunder!"
He chanted silently in his heart. His mind and energy fully synchronized with the rhythm of the maces in both hands. His aura rose against the pressure, instantly reaching an unprecedented height.
"Thunder God's Nine Forms—First Form: Thunder Shakes the Heavens!"
He raised the Thunder God Mace in his right hand high. A purple-golden lightning pillar capable of shaking the heavens erupted from its tip and poured down toward the demon spirit.
Where the lightning passed, deep scorched grooves were carved into the ground!
At the sa ti, the other Thunder God Mace in Chen Yi's left hand was not idle.
"Thunder God's Nine Forms—Second Form: Thunder Shakes the Universe!"
He swung the mace in his left hand horizontally, vibrating it fiercely at a unique frequency. Each vibration triggered resonance in the surrounding lightning, instantly covering the wide area before him with countless thin arcs of lightning.
Attempting to probe a powerful being like the demon spirit was futile and would only expose one's own weaknesses.
Therefore, Chen Yi acted without hesitation, using both maces simultaneously and releasing two different divine techniques at once!
This was precisely the dual-wielding combat technique Chen Yi had painstakingly developed by combining Douluo Continent's Disorder Splitting Wind Hamr.
With his precise control of soul power in the God Origin realm and the support and coordination of the vast energy from his three soul cores, he could release different or complentary divine techniques from his left and right hands simultaneously. It was as if two top-level masters with perfect understanding were joining forces to surround the enemy.
The two maces struck down at the sa ti—one vertically, one horizontally. One targeted a single point, the other attacked a wide area. One shook the heavens, the other quaked the earth.
The two attacks complented each other, almost completely sealing off any possibility of the demon spirit counterattacking. Their power was terrifying, causing the entire stable space constructed by the demon spirit's power to shake violently.
"Dragon cores? Three of them… interesting."
A flash of surprise appeared in the demon spirit's eyes. She had seen the remains of divine dragons before and naturally knew about dragon cores.
"Controlling distraction and making left and right movents complent each other… This is an excellent idea, fusing technique and power at a very high level."
The demon spirit nodded lightly and gave a fair evaluation, but her tone remained calm, as if comnting on a junior's work.
Just as the lightning pillar and shockwave were about to strike, the demon spirit casually raised her right hand, spread her five fingers, and gently grasped the two earth-shaking thunder techniques before her.
In an instant, an overwhelmingly terrifying divine power spread quietly. The heaven-shaking lightning pillar exploded, scattering into countless small electric snakes across the sky.
The shockwave instantly fell silent upon contact with that divine power, without even creating a ripple.
Buzz—!
The space shook violently. The next mont, two figures almost simultaneously vanished from their positions!
Chen Yi and the demon spirit turned into two streaks of light beyond the limits of vision and charged toward the center of the space. Even Qian Renxue could barely catch their movents as they began the most intense close-quarters combat.
Bang! Crash! Boom—!
Terrifying sounds of energy collisions rang out at a heart-pounding frequency. The two auras clashed fiercely, separated, and clashed again!
Their figures were completely invisible to the naked eye. Each encounter lasted only an instant, their speed surpassing the limits of thought.
Qian Renxue, inside the protective barrier at the edge of the space, could barely sense two completely different energies swirling violently.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. Her heart was filled with worry for Chen Yi.
Boom—!
After another fierce collision, the two figures finally separated again.
Chen Yi tumbled several tis in the air before barely regaining his balance. The lightning around him had weakened considerably, and his breathing had beco labored.
Without pause, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. The remaining soul power and spiritual power around him erupted like a volcano.
"Thunder God Nine Forms—Third Form, Nine Heavens Thunder Burial!"
He gripped the maces with both hands and raised them high above his head. The maces crossed. Lightning ran through the entire space, converging madly toward the sky above his head as if summoned by a supre being.
In the blink of an eye, a massive thundercloud vortex covering the entire upper sky ford rapidly.
Whoosh!
The next mont, endless purple-golden lightning poured down from the thundercloud vortex like a galaxy falling, targeting the demon spirit below.
"This move… isn't bad." The demon spirit looked up at the destructive lightning waterfall descending from the sky. This ti, her eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
She neither dodged nor avoided it. Abandoning her previous casual attitude, she slowly raised both hands toward the lightning waterfall pouring from above.
"Hatred fills the universe."
The voice was not loud, but it carried thousands of years of endless resentnt.
It was the hatred of a fallen angel, the loneliness and distortion accumulated over millennia!
As these words were spoken, a strange divine power filled with negative emotions erupted from her hands.
The divine power transford into two enormous, invisible hand shadows capable of supporting heaven and earth, surging upward against the roaring waterfall!
Boom!
The evil divine power and the judgnt thunder clashed fiercely in the air!
A terrifying energy explosion occurred at the center of the space! The purple-golden lightning and the resentnt-filled divine power tore at each other. The dazzling light forced Qian Renxue to close her eyes. Although the spatial barrier weakened the violent shockwaves, she still felt uneasy.
Crack… Boom!
The stalemate lasted only a few breaths.
The seemingly endless torrent of lightning was forcefully split in two by that palm strike.
"Hatred fills the universe." The remaining divine power dissipated, piercing through the lightning waterfall and striking directly at Chen Yi in his true Thunder God form.
Thud—!!!
The hundred-ter-tall true form of Thunder God was blasted off the ground by the palm strike, flying backward and slamming heavily into the distant spatial barrier with a dull sound. The entire space shook violently!
The true form of Thunder God rapidly faded, and large cracks appeared on its surface.
Chen Yi groaned. Golden blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his face instantly turned pale.
He raised his head, wiped the blood from his mouth, and looked at the demon spirit with an extrely solemn expression.
The opponent's strength was far greater than he had anticipated. It was bizarre and overwhelming, with exceptional combat experience. Each strike easily exposed his weaknesses.
"The Angel God truly lives up to the na!"
The demon spirit elegantly erged from the turbulent airflow, her body completely unblemished. She glanced coldly at the disheveled Chen Yi.
"Divine Officer are nothing but dust in the God Realm. No matter how many there are, they are insignificant."
"Only gods who have condensed a divine halo and wield authority can be called true gods, standing in the divine domain and ruling a region."
"Considering your talent and many opportunities, you may be considered invincible at the Divine Offecer level, but when facing true authority, your power is essentially not a manifestation of rules but rely an elevation of the mortal world."
"You… are still far from enough."
Her gaze passed over Chen Yi and went straight to Qian Renxue inside the barrier at the edge of the space. Her voice grew colder.
"If this is all the power you possess… then abandon the Angel position."
"For the sake of the God of Light, I will spare your lives and let you leave."
Chen Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood and trembling soul power within his body, and slowly stood up from the ground, straightening his back.
Instead of looking dejected, a strange brilliance appeared on his face.
"Divine status, the power of authority… it is truly astonishing and awe-inspiring."
His voice rang clearly in the silent space.
"However, senior…"
Chen Yi raised his head, stared directly into the demon spirit's eyes, and spoke word by word.
"I did not co here today to present you with a divine stone tablet, senior."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yi's previously weakened aura due to injury suddenly underwent a dramatic change!
Boom!!!
A force far more violent and pure than before—resembling thunder—erupted fiercely from every part of his body without warning.
The power was so strong that it instantly swept away his dejected state and violently shook the surrounding space that had just begun to recover.
The purple-golden lightning surrounding him no longer consisted of a simple combination of soul power and thunder but began resonating at a deeper level.
At the sa ti, the three soul cores rotating at high speed inside his body suddenly accelerated to their limit, emitting a roar like an engine under overload.
The previously stable circulation between the soul cores began converging violently toward a central point, compressing as if about to fuse into one.
An aura of sublimation broke through so barrier of life and power, instantly radiating from Chen Yi!
For the first ti, an obvious look of surprise appeared on the usually indifferent and calm demon spirit's face.
"You… are you really trying to reach rank 100 right here?!"
