Qian Renxue's Angel Trial, the Divide Between the Holy Twins

The ninth trial ground in the back mountains of Nishen Hall was an Angel God Temple floating among the clouds. The temple's beams and pillars were forged from Angel God bones, the floor was paved with golden holy crystals, and the walls were carved with Angel Runes from the God Realm. This was the "Angel God Trial Ground" replicated by Su Chen using God-Defying Soul Power. Qian Renxue's trial requirement was to face the Angel Divine Punishment of the God Realm head-on within the temple, sever her final connection to the God Realm, and completely fuse her Angel Power with her God-Defying Power to unlock the Nishen Angel · Holy Rebel Dualism Form, becoming a God-Defying powerhouse capable of rivaling the Angel God of the God Realm.

The God Realm Enforcers would descend tomorrow. Qian Renxue stood at the entrance of the Angel God Temple, her golden angel god armor shimmering with a piercing light. The angel wings behind her spread out, yet they trembled slightly within the holy aura of the temple. Inside her body, the inherited power of the Angel God and the God-Defying Power injected by Su Chen were clashing violently. On one side was the glory and power bestowed by the God Realm; on the other were the bonds and freedom of Nishen Hall. She had to make a final choice between the two.

“Qian Renxue, what lies within this temple is the Angel God Position you once pursued.” Su Chen's voice echoed from outside the temple as his black God-Defying Soul Power formed a barrier, protecting her from being backlashed by the temple's holy power. “But you must remember, true power is never bestowed by others; it is chosen by oneself. Do you want to be a puppet angel of the God Realm, or my Nishen Angel?”

Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly as she recalled the illusion she faced during her God Trial in the Angel God Temple. Back then, she had fallen into an illusion where she saw Su Chen being obliterated by the God Realm, and she had chosen to resist the God Realm without hesitation. At that moment, she had already made her choice. Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the Angel God Temple, and the temple gates slowly closed behind her, isolating her from the outside world.

“Qian Renxue, as the inheritor of the Angel God, you dare to betray the God Realm and side with a God Defier? Today, I shall strip you of your God Position and bring you back to the God Realm for punishment!” A majestic voice boomed from the depths of the temple as a phantom of an angel clad in golden Divine Armor slowly emerged. It was a clone of the Angel God from the God Realm.

With a wave of its hand, the angel phantom unleashed countless golden blades of divine punishment at Qian Renxue. These blades carried the power to purify all God-Defying Power. Qian Renxue's angel god armor was instantly sliced with cracks, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

“I have not betrayed anyone; I have simply chosen the life I want!” Qian Renxue roared. The angel wings on her back erupted with intense golden light as her inherited Angel God power burst forth to clash with the divine punishment blades. However, her power seemed so minuscule before the Angel God Clone; she was soon suppressed by the blades and slammed heavily onto the temple floor.

“Stubborn fool!” The Angel God Clone snorted coldly. The golden power of divine punishment transformed into chains that wrapped around Qian Renxue, attempting to extract her Angel Power. “Without the bestowal of the God Realm, you are nothing!”

As the chains tightened, Qian Renxue felt her Angel Power draining rapidly, and her consciousness began to blur. Just then, she remembered Su Chen's words: “True power is chosen by oneself.” She thought of the Heroines of Nishen Hall and of Su Chen's trust and love for her. A powerful force surged from the depths of her heart.

“I am not a puppet! My power belongs to me, and it belongs to Nishen Hall!” Qian Renxue's voice rang throughout the temple. The Nishen Mark within her suddenly erupted, and black God-Defying Power surged out like a volcano, intertwining with her Angel Power. Her golden angel god armor began to change—half remained a holy gold, while the other half turned into a domineering black. The angel wings on her back also evolved into a black-and-white duo-color, their feathers shimmering with the light of Holy Rebel Dualism.

“God-Defying Power, World Breaker!” Qian Renxue violently broke free from the divine punishment chains. Her black-and-white power condensed into a longsword. Holding the blade, she charged toward the Angel God Clone. Wherever the sword passed, the holy Angel Runes shattered, and the divine punishment blades were instantly severed.

A flash of surprise crossed the Angel God Clone's eyes, which quickly turned into rage: “God-Defying Power dares to defile the holy Angel Power!” He raised his hand to condense a golden Spear of Divine Punishment and hurled it at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue did not dodge. She unleashed all of the Holy God-Defying Dual Power within her, and her longsword collided with the Spear of Divine Punishment. With a deafening boom, the spear was shattered, and the Angel God Clone gradually dissipated under the impact of the God-Defying Power.

As the Angel God Clone completely vanished, Qian Renxue's body erupted with a brilliant black-and-white light. The Holy Rebel Dualism Wings behind her slowly unfurled, and the longsword transformed into a black-and-white angel emblem that merged into her forehead—the Nishen Angel · Holy Rebel Dualism Form was officially unlocked! Her power now possessed the dual attributes of holiness and god-defiance, capable of both purifying the holy power of the God Realm and tearing through god-defying defenses, making her the strongest combatant against the Angel God of the God Realm.

The gates of the Angel God Temple slowly opened, and Qian Renxue walked out. The black-and-white angel wings fanned slowly behind her, and a smile of relief and determination graced her face. “Su Chen, I did it. From now on, I am no longer the Angel God of the God Realm, but only your Nishen Angel.”

Su Chen stepped forward and took her hand, his black God-Defying Soul Power intertwining with her Holy Rebel Dualism Power. “Welcome, my Nishen Angel. With you here, our chances against the God Realm Enforcers have increased by another margin.”

At that moment, the observation array of Nishen Hall sounded an alarm again. Hanabi's God-Defying Byakugan fluctuated violently: “Su Chen! The God Realm Enforcers have broken through the final layer of the spatial barrier! Their figures have appeared in the sky above the Douluo Continent and are flying toward the Star Dou Great Forest!”

Su Chen looked up at the sky. Three golden figures appeared above the clouds, clad in Divine Armor with domineering auras. They were the three High God Enforcers of the God Realm. One held a longsword with a cold gaze—the Enforcer under the Angel God; one held a scepter with a feminine aura—the Enforcer under the Sea God; and the last wore heavy armor with surging strength—the Enforcer under the Asura God.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!” Su Chen's voice echoed through Nishen Hall as his black God-Defying Soul Power soared into the sky. “Rongrong, buff everyone! Qian Renxue, go intercept the Angel God Enforcer! Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, Xiao Xun Er, you three are responsible for attacking the Sea God Enforcer! Qing Lin, Hinata, Hanabi, you three pin down the Asura God Enforcer! The rest of you, follow me to meet the enemy head-on!”

The Heroines responded one after another, fully deploying their respective God-Defying Forms. Their multicolored powers intertwined with the black God-Defying Soul Power to form a solid line of defense.

Meanwhile, in Cangyun Town, Xiao Ling was curled up in the bushes, watching the three golden figures in the sky and the black-and-white light coming from the direction of Nishen Hall. He knew the God Realm Enforcers had arrived and that Su Chen was about to go to war with the God Realm. His heart felt no ripples; he neither hoped for Su Chen to win nor for the God Realm to win. He was merely an insignificant bystander, a lowly commoner struggling to survive.

Suddenly, a blade of divine punishment fell from the sky, landing right next to Xiao Ling and setting the bushes around him on fire. Terrified, Xiao Ling scrambled to his feet and ran with a limp, only to be tripped by a stone and fall into a mud pit. He lay there, covered in filth, watching the violent energy collisions in the sky, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He knew that the outcome of this great war had nothing to do with him. His life had completely sunk into the dust of the bottom tier, never to stir up any waves again.

In the direction of the trial grounds, Hanabi had already stepped into the tenth trial ground. Her trial had to be completed before the battle began. The great war between Nishen Hall and the God Realm Enforcers was now like an arrow on a bowstring, ready to be unleashed at any moment.
