History of Angels

Ye Guyi secretly spat out the oak cake roll that tasted like wood shavings and quickly took a few bites of the bread in her hand, washing it down with some water.

Only then did she feel relieved. She had only taken a small bite of the oak cake roll, not as much as Xu Tianzhen, but it was still enough to nearly overwhelm her.

The two youngsters had never experienced much hardship growing up and had never encountered such unpalatable food. It was difficult for them to adjust to it immediately.

The bread was fine; they could tolerate it. But the oak cake rolls?

They simply couldn't bring themselves to accept them.

"It's an oak cake roll! It's delicious," Liuying said, feeling a bit hurt. She had only wanted to share her favorite food, but it seemed no one appreciated it.

"Don't worry, Liuying. Everyone has their own preferences. Some like certain foods, and others don't. There's no need to dwell on it," Liuxing reassured her.

"Ah, yes, yes. I don't like eating wood... I mean, oak cake rolls. I'll stick to the bread. The bread is good," Xu Tianzhen said, coming to her senses. She no longer dared to curiously try unfamiliar foods and silently nibbled on his bread, vowing never to touch an oak cake roll again in her life. It was truly a culinary disaster.

Luan Yu watched the scene with amusement, finding it quite entertaining to be around these youngsters. Why hadn't she noticed before how enjoyable it could be to spend time with them?

After finishing their meal, Luan Yu led the four youngsters into the demon forest.

Following the direction she had previously identified from the air, they headed straight for the center of the outer area.

Although the soul beasts living in the peripheral areas were mostly ten to a thousand years old, with rarely any ten-thousand-year soul beasts, there were still some powerful ones.

The stronger the soul beast, the closer it lived to the inner regions of the demon forest, where the vitality of heaven and earth was more concentrated.

Luan Yu, carrying the four people, confidently approached the inner area.

Luan Yu didn't consider herself particularly lucky, but she was confident in her abilities. She was no spearman relying on chance; she was a saber, sharp and decisive.

Luan Yu tossed out a few small black soul guides. Although she wasn't a spiritual soul master who could rely on her own spiritual power to locate soul beasts, she had her own methods. A soul master's profession wasn't so inconvenient after all.

Luan Yu turned to Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi and asked, "Little Guyi, Little Tianyi, what kind of soul beast are you two looking for?"

"I want a soul beast with a light attribute, preferably with a Holy attribute, around four hundred years old," Ye Guyi replied.

"My brother said I need a soul beast with both light and fire attributes, preferably a flying soul beast with Golden Crow bloodline," Xu Tianzhen added.

Ye Guyi and Xu Tianzhen had long since set their sights on specific soul beasts for their martial souls. In fact, given Xu Tianzhen's status and her martial soul, the Sun Moon Empire's royal family had already prepared a suitable soul beast for her.

However, Xu Tianran had declined the offer to allow Xu Tianzhen and Liuxing to bond on their own terms.

"Holy and light attributes?" Luan Yu glanced at Ye Guyi in surprise. She was familiar with Xu Tianzhen's martial soul, but she hadn't paid much attention to Ye Guyi's. She hadn't gone out of her way to gather detailed information about the girl.

"Aunt Luan Yu, my martial soul is the Holy Angel," Ye Guyi explained.

"Holy Angel?" Luan Yu's eyes widened in surprise. Liuxing and Xu Tianzhen also turned to look at Ye Guyi with astonishment.

Over the past two years, Liuxing had spent much of his time reading and studying the history of the Douluo Continent.

Xu Tianzhen, having been educated by the elite tutors of the royal family, had also been taught extensively about the continent's history and martial soul knowledge before his own awakening.

They might not have been familiar with the term "Holy Angel," but if it were replaced with "Seraphim," it would ring a bell.

Ever since the Sun and Moon Empire had reluctantly renamed their continent to align with the Douluo Continent, they had delved deeply into the history of their new homeland.

It was said that 10,000 years ago, the Douluo Continent was ruled by two empires and the Spirit Hall.

At one point, the Spirit Hall had nearly unified the entire continent, but it was ultimately defeated by one of the original Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang San, the Sea God.

Back then, the Spirit Hall was ruled by the Angel Clan, whose inherited martial soul was the Six-Winged Seraphim.

This martial soul was said to possess three attributes: Holy, Light, And Flame.

The legendary battle of the three gods, which took place 10,000 years ago, was still widely talked about even today. Even outsiders from the Sun and Moon Empire were familiar with the tale.

Although 10,000 years had passed, and much of it was considered legend, Liuxing knew that these stories were true.

Whether it was the tale of the prodigious spirit master with innate twenty-level soul power or the epic battle of the three gods, they were all real.

"Is Guyi a descendant of Qian Renxue?" Liuxing wondered, glancing at the little girl with her blonde hair and golden eyes.

The Holy Angel martial soul was second only to the God-given Seraphim martial soul and, to a certain extent, was also considered an ultimate martial soul. For such a martial soul to awaken, the angelic bloodline within her must be exceptionally pure.

Liuxing knew that ten thousand years ago, the Rakshasa God had fallen, and the Angel God, Qian Renxue, had her divine position shattered.

Her cultivation had plummeted to the eighty-ninth level, and she could never break through to the ninetieth level.

She remained on the Douluo Continent, and it was highly likely that she had left behind a bloodline.

Given this, there was a strong possibility that Ye Guyi was a descendant of Qian Renxue.

If the divine position of the Angel God had not been shattered, Ye Guyi's martial soul would not be the Holy Angel but the Seraphim.

The Seraphim is the highest level of angelic martial soul, possessing not only the holy and light attributes but also the fire attribute, making it one of the three ultimate martial souls.

Given that even a single-attribute extreme martial soul can dominate the Douluo Continent today, the power of the Seraphim needs no further explanation.

Moreover, the Angel Martial Soul is a natural nemesis of evil, capable of suppressing all evil forces. It can even enhance its own cultivation by purifying evil and resentful spirits.

Although the Holy Angel Martial Soul is a diminished version of the legendary Seraphim Martial Soul, it is not inferior to Xu Tianzhen's Sun Martial Soul and, in some respects, is even more powerful.

"Is it true that the wielder of the Holy Angel Martial Soul can increase their soul power by killing Evil Soul Masters?" Liuxing asked Ye Guyi curiously.

If this were the case, even if Ye Guyi's cultivation progressed slowly due to the immense purity of the divine attribute, killing a large number of Evil Soul Masters should still allow her cultivation speed to remain relatively fast.

Ye Guyi nodded slightly. "Yes, it's true. The Holy Angel Martial Soul has a natural advantage against evil. By purifying evil spirits and defeating Evil Soul Masters, I can absorb their corrupted energy and convert it into my own soul power. It's not as fast as normal cultivation for most people, but it does help me progress."

Liuxing's eyes lit up. "That's incredible! So, if we encounter Evil Soul Masters in the future, you'll have an edge over them. Not only can you defeat them, but you can also grow stronger in the process. That's a huge advantage."

Xu Tianzhen, who had been listening quietly, chimed in, "That's amazing, Guyi! Your martial soul is so powerful. No wonder Aunt Luan Yu was so surprised when you mentioned it."

Luan Yu, who had been observing the conversation, smiled faintly. "The Holy Angel Martial Soul is indeed rare and powerful. It's a martial soul that carries both great responsibility and potential. Guyi, you must train hard and use your abilities wisely. The path of a soul master is not easy, but with your martial soul, you have the potential to achieve great things."

Ye Guyi nodded solemnly. "I understand, Aunt Luan Yu. I'll do my best to live up to the potential of my martial soul."

Liuxing grinned. "Don't worry, Guyi. We're all here to support you. Whether it's fighting Evil Soul Masters or hunting for soul beasts, we'll face it together."

Xu Tianzhen raised her bread in agreement. "That's right! We're a team. No matter what challenges come our way, we'll overcome them together."

Luan Yu watched the three youngsters with a hint of pride in her eyes. Despite their youth, they were already showing the qualities of true soul masters: courage, determination, and camaraderie. She had no doubt that they would grow into formidable figures in the future.

"Alright," Luan Yu said, clapping her hands to get their attention. "Enough chatter for now. We have a mission to complete. Let's focus on finding the right soul beasts for Guyi and Tianzhen. The demon forest is vast, and we don't want to waste any more time."

The group nodded in unison, their expressions turning serious.

With Luan Yu leading the way, they ventured deeper into the forest, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

The bond between them grew stronger with each step, and their shared determination to grow stronger fueled their resolve.

Together, they would carve their path through the demon forest and beyond.
