"Crunch~"
While Qing Mu and Di Tian were facing off, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but clench his fists.
"How is this possible? How could he become so strong?!"
Although Qian Daoliu had long known that Qing Mu would surpass him sooner or later, he was already prepared when Qing Mu revealed his eighth spirit ring, which had been around for 500,000 years.
Even so, he only thought that Qing Mu's strength was close to, or even slightly stronger than, his own in his divine power state. He never expected that Qing Mu's true strength had reached a level that even he had to look up to.
Qian Daoliu could clearly sense that the aura emanating from this martial soul, which Qing Mu called Taijing Gigantamax Mega Venusaur, had surpassed his own in his divine power state, and by a great deal.
Even with divine power, and even though the battlefield is now at his ideal altitude of a thousand meters, far exceeding his strength near the ground, he has no confidence whatsoever in defeating Qing Mu.
Seeing the man and beast in front of them frozen in place, neither daring to step forward first, Qing Mu chuckled and said, "If you want, the two of you can come at me together, I don't mind!"
Hearing Qing Mu's contemptuous tone, even Di Tian, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, felt a surge of anger.
"Don't underestimate me, kid!"
Instantly, Di Tian transformed into his true form, black scales appearing on his body. In a flash, an incredibly massive black dragon appeared on the scene, its size not much smaller than that of a Mega Venusaur with three superimposed forms.
Dark clouds rose above the giant black dragon's head, spreading rapidly and occupying almost half the sky, until finally being pushed back by the dazzling sunlight.
Suddenly, the black dragon opened its golden eyes, radiating boundless majesty. Qian Daoliu appeared as tiny as an ant before Di Tian's pupils.
"Sing~"
With a dragon's roar, an overwhelming pressure emanated, threatening to rival Venusaur.
Upon sensing Di Tian's oppressive aura, Qian Daoliu's expression changed. This person was actually stronger than him. How could that be?
Qian Daoliu once sought out masters in the world, hoping to use the pressure from others to help him make a breakthrough, but in the end, he only found Poseidon with Tang Chen.
While Poseidon was strong, he was only on par with him.
Even if he is strong, his strength is limited, and there are various restrictions, so he cannot reliably defeat him and Tang Chen.
But today alone, he has encountered two people whose strength far surpasses his own. Whether this is a stroke of luck or misfortune is hard to say.
"Am I really going to have to resort to that last resort? So many years have passed, and I only have one chance left."
Qian Daoliu said somewhat unwillingly.
"No, what if they start fighting here!"
Suddenly, Qian Daoliu seemed to realize something, his pupils shrank sharply, and his figure immediately transformed into a golden ray and disappeared from the spot.
Neither Qing Mu nor Di Tian cared about Qian Daoliu's departure. He was just a level 99 Title Douluo with divine power. If they wanted to, they could kill him at any time, though the process would be a little troublesome.
What they really care about now is their opponent on the other side.
On the other side, after leaving, Qian Daoliu immediately rushed to the sacrificial hall behind the Papal Palace and rushed in without regard for anything else.
Inside the main hall he guarded, Qian Renxue was kneeling before a holy angel statue. The statue emitted a faint golden light, as if it wanted to connect with Qian Renxue, while the other worshippers sat cross-legged to the side, seemingly protecting Qian Renxue.
Before the other worshippers could speak, Qian Daoliu unleashed his Angel Domain, enveloping everyone present, including Qian Renxue.
Then Qian Daoliu's figure transformed into a golden ray of light and flew rapidly into the distance. Only after flying more than a hundred miles away did Qian Daoliu release Qian Renxue and the group of worshippers.
"Great High Priest, what happened? Xiaoxue is about to gain the approval of the Angel God."
After releasing the person, the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, was somewhat bewildered, his words filled with doubt and confusion.
The Hall of the Angel God's Inheritance is protected by special power, and Qian Daoliu had deliberately bypassed their area in the Angel Domain so as not to disturb them. Therefore, they did not know what had just happened, and only knew that Qian Daoliu had gone to deal with the intruders.
Originally, they didn't think anything would happen. After all, Qian Daoliu was a level 99 peerless Douluo, and he also had divine power. Apart from Tang Chen, who had been missing for a long time, and Poseidon, who was guarding Seagod Island, no one could be Qian Daoliu's opponent.
However, judging from Qian Daoliu's unpleasant expression, could it be that something unexpected has happened?
The Third Elder, Azure Phoenix Douluo, frowned and asked Qian Daoliu, "Grand Elder, could it be that Tang Chen and Poseidon joined forces to storm the Spirit Hall?"
Besides this reason, Qingluan Douluo couldn't think of any other reason that could make Qian Daoliu so flustered, even to the point of interrupting Qian Renxue's divine test.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue also looked at Qian Daoliu, "Grandpa, what exactly happened? Why are you so anxious?"
She had a premonition that if Qian Daoliu hadn't disturbed her, she would already be resonating with the angel statue and beginning the angelic trial.
Once the divine test is activated, she can catch up with or even surpass Qing Mu in a very short time, thus eliminating the threat posed by Qing Mu.
Therefore, she was very curious about what kind of matter was more important than her divine examination, and even required Qian Daoliu to take them away without saying a word.
"Qing Mu has arrived, and his strength has far surpassed mine."
Qian Daoliu said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
"What!?"
These words caused an uproar among those present.
None of them could believe that in less than a month, Qing Mu's strength had already surpassed Qian Daoliu's.
Qian Renxue bit her lip in frustration, so hard that blood even flowed out.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue looked up at Qian Daoliu and asked, "So, Grandpa, you led us to escape because you wanted to avoid Qing Mu?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu trembled, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, it's because this time, besides Qing Mu, there is another powerful figure who was previously unknown. His strength seems to be no less than Qing Mu's."
They're about to fight, and to avoid the aftermath of their battle, I have to take you away from the Spirit Hall.
In a battle of this level, Qian Renxue and the other elders are far too vulnerable, just like the Soul Masters who were previously involved in the battle between him and Chen Xin and other Title Douluos. A mere aftershock could take their lives.
That's why Qian Daoliu was so eager to fly back to the Hall of Worship to take Qian Renxue and the others away. Otherwise, the remaining divine power of the angels in the Hall of Inheritance alone wouldn't be enough to withstand the aftershocks of the battle between Qing Mu and Di Tian.
Rumble—
Just as Qian Daoliu finished speaking, a deafening roar came from afar.
