บท 96: Chapter 93

[Spirit Temple]

An old man lived in the innermost room of the Spirit Temple. Even at this age, his appearance was out of the ordinary. His gray robe complemented his white hair. He is the strongest Titled Douluo on the continent, Qian Daoliu, Titled: Angel Douluo.

It has been more than two decades since he left his room, and no one knows why. Many have forgotten him, and some even think that he died.

Only the top forces, such as the three clans and two Emperor's know about his existence, and it is because of him, Spirit Hall dared to build Spirit City on the border of the two empires.

At present, Qian Daoliu was drinking tea, but his eyes looked towards the Supreme Pontiff Palace. A trace of surprise appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"Huh! That Blue lightning Dragon brat is back." He muttered to himself.

Qian Daoliu understood the ins and out of the matter after Qian Xunji had expelled Grandmaster. Initially, he had a trace of interest in Xiaogang's intellect; after all, the latter selected spirit beasts for his son.

From the time Qian Daoliu had passed on his position to his son Qian Xunji, he rarely interfered in the Spirit Hall's matters. He retreated and chose to serve the Angel God.

Moreover, even if Qian Daoliu didn't agree with Qian Xunji's method, he still chose to ignore it. Who made Qian Xunji his only son?

Everything that had happened in Supreme Pontiff Palace was under his observation. Qian Daoliu watched it as if some drama play was going on until Xiaogang mentioned his granddaughter Qian Renxue.

After listening to her name, his breath fluctuated, and a horrible aura appeared in Spirit Temple. Although it disappeared instantly after; but, no one could feel this aura. It showed the absolute control Qian Daoliu has over his power.

He wanted to see how Qian Xunji would handle the situation, but the result disappointed him.

Qian Daoliu decided to teach his stupid son a lesson after cleaning up after his mess. Still, for what Bibi Dong had gone through over the past years, he decided to let them leave Spirit City alive.

'Sigh!' "My old bones have to get back to work." Qian Daoliu muttered and walked out of his room. Sometimes he was jealous of his friend/rival Tang Chen. Even after the latter disappeared for more than fifty years, his next generations were competent.

With a grumpy attitude, Qian Daoliu marched through the corridors of the Spirit Temple and entered the main hall.

"Greetings, Grand Priest!" Falling Devil Douluo spoke.

"Greetings, Grand Priest!" Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke.

Both of them greeted Qian Daoliu as the latter stepped into the main hall.

Qian Daoliu nodded; he walked past them and sat on the throne, after which he said, "Gather all of the elders present in the city."

After hearing his words, a solemn expression appeared on their faces. Golden Crocodile Douluo asked, "What happened?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head and did not explain anything to them; after all, it was their family's name at stake.

Falling Devil Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo rushed out, returned in a few minutes, and there were two more people with them.

They were Yu Long Titled: Snake Lance Douluo and Gui Mei Titled: Ghost Douluo.

The four of them sat in their position and waited for Qian Daoliu to speak.

'Cough!' Qian Daoliu coughed dryly and said, "Yu Xiaogang abducted the Supreme Pontiff's wife, Bibi Dong."

"Kill Him!" A sharp aura radiated from his body.

"Okay!" The four of them nodded and rushed out of the temple.

Qian Daoliu did not put Xiaogang in his eyes and did not intend to chase him personally. He felt sending four Titled Douluos was more than enough.

What Qian Daoliu did not expect is that the Angel God's statue lit up at this moment.

...

The purple scythe tattoo on Qian Xunji's forehead started to glow, and Rakasha God's power started flowing in his body. As the gloomy energy transformed drilled into him, Qian Xunji's body started trembling, and he screamed in pain.

Rakasha God was an evil God; still, he could only pass on his divinity according to the rules set by the God realm. Otherwise, the God council would hunt him down.

...

Inheriting a God is a long process; one of the main prerequisites is that the spirit-master's marital spirit should have a similar element as the divinity they will inherit.

Qian Xunji's marital spirit Seraphim was an apex beast spirit belonging to the holy attribute; whereas, Rakasha God's divinity belonged to evil attribute.

At present, it would be impossible for Qian Xunji to inherit his position, and Rakasha could only forcibly change his martial spirit's attribute. Anyways, even if it failed, he would not lose anything. Still, there was some expectation in his eyes.

If it were to be successful; then, Qian Xunji would be his true inheritor.

...

Qian Xunji felt as if thousands of knives pierced his body at the same time. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure the pain; sweat soaked his clothes. After the unknown time period, the pain stopped, Qian Xunji collapsed on the ground.

As he took a deep breath and felt relieved that the transformation had ended, a mutation occurred his martial spirit materialized and screamed.

With the scream of Seraphim, Qian Xunji felt unimaginable pain in his spiritual sea, as if someone tore off a part of his soul. He was paralyzed and could not even scream.

As Qian Xunji's consciousness began to blur, Xiaogang's face appeared in his mind, and he again became conscious. The hate in his heart gave him the strength to endure this unimaginable pain.

The only thought in his mind was, 'If I survive this, the very first thing I will do is hunt them down.'

After enduring the pain for an hour, a purple scythe tattoo appeared on the forehead of Seraphim, and its color changed from holy-gold to gloomy-purple.

As the transformation ended, Qian Xunji felt comfortable; it was as if his soul cheered. After a long time of enduring intense pain, Qian Xunji was both mentally and physically exhausted. He could not hold it any longer and fell unconscious.

What Qian Xunji did not notice is that his spirit-power increased by a level. He became a rank-96 Titled Douluo.

A voice sounded inside his head, "Rakasha Nine Trial's First Trial: Capture Yu Xiaogang & Bibi Dong. Reward: All spirit rings age increased by 500 years and Nether affinity + 5%."
