The majesty of the Angeli god, the divine radiance, and sanctity of the light gods, the chaotic and filthy thoughts of the Rakshasa god, and the bloody purity of the Asura god.
However, at this moment, Qian Renxue's temperament was completely different from theirs.
In Su Cheng's previous life, he had heard many mythical stories, among which there was a legendary place called the underworld.
It was rumored that there were eighteen major hells in the underworld, along with countless minor hells, the final destination for all the souls in the world.
All sins would be judged by the underworld's Yin and Yang judges, the ultimate symbol of the law.
The purpose of hellish torture was not for killing but for punishment.
It aimed to make even the most arrogant criminals feel pain and then repent.
Compared to the punishments in hell, the so-called tortures of the mortal world were like child's play.
If one had to describe it, at this moment, Qian Renxue's domain was like the underworld's torture ground for evil-doers. And Qian Renxue herself was like the "judge" responsible for judgment and execution in hell, possessing an aura of administering justice and purging the various evils of the mortal world.
Of course, this was just a metaphor.
At this moment, she was obviously far from reaching such a level.
Seeing the Five Elements Domain gradually being suppressed, Su Cheng, feeling helpless, released the embryonic form of his Sword Domain once again.
The sword qi surrounded him, intertwining with the Five Elements Domain.
This action greatly accelerated his consumption of spiritual power, but at this moment, he had no time to care about that.
"Sword Five, Sword Intent!"
With Qian Renxue's temperament further changing, Su Cheng naturally couldn't just wait foolishly.
Seizing the opportunity, he used this move, a sword technique purely condensed with sword intent.
Regardless of the reason for Qian Renxue's current change, this change in temperament meant that her mind must be wavering at this moment.
Su Cheng quickly changed his attacking strategy, taking advantage of this opening to use this spiritual sword technique.
A glimmer flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, her expression becoming more serious.
She raised her hand and waved, conjuring a bright white light screen to block the sword shadow.
However, in her haste, she failed to block it completely. After colliding, remnants of the sword intent pierced into her mind.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, feeling a disturbance in her mind.
Su Cheng's level was indeed far from hers.
But with the enhancement of sword intent, the gap in spiritual power wasn't as huge as their cultivation levels.
This strike still had a certain effect on her.
"Sword Four, Ring Blade!"
After using one move, Su Cheng's next attack followed closely.
A hint of anger appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
Although this injury was not severe, it made her restrain her playful attitude.
Extending her right hand, the fifth soul ring lit up, and a long sword appeared in her hand.
However, the sword body was not made of metal but formed from black flames. Although it had no physical form, the intense energy fluctuations it emitted were chilling.
As the black flames burned, the blade lightly swept across, instantly dispersing the powerful sword qi released by Su Cheng.
Then, the sword rose high.
Qian Renxue's expression remained calm. After a brief pause, the giant sword tilted and slashed down diagonally.
Like a god standing in the clouds, passing judgment on all living beings.
Of course, Su Cheng knew that the previous sword technique wouldn't cause much harm to her.
He used it just to temporarily buy some time.
Taking advantage of this gap, his second soul ring lit up.
Second Soul Skill: Rending Wind and Thunder.
This was also a buff-type status enhancement soul skill. It could enhance the sharpness of the Longevity Sword by seventy percent and improve its blade quality by thirty percent, but it didn't increase his own strength.
At the same time, the yellow light flashed on the Longevity Sword in his hand, followed by flashes of white, black, blue, and red colors.
"Sword Twelve, Longevity!"
This sword was the pinnacle work of Su Cheng's sword techniques.
Domain, sword intent, attribute, and sword move were all integrated into it, the Five Elements rotating endlessly, eternally.
The giant sword burning with black flames, accompanied by a strong wind, carried an astonishing oppression as it slashed diagonally downward.
Su Cheng thrust the long sword in his hand upwards, and the sword qi, swirling with a halo of five colors, soared into the sky, as if grinding down the giant sword formed by Qian Renxue's black flames.
Though the force was strong, the mountain remained unmoved; under the moonlight, the river flowed on its own.
This sword technique of his wasn't top-notch in terms of attack power, nor was it exceptional in defense.
However, the sword move itself was well-rounded, and under the rotation of the Five Elements, it displayed remarkable resilience.
Even facing Qian Renxue's full-force attack, he could still make a stand.
Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly.
The observing Porcupinefish Douluo wore a similarly astonished expression.
In theory, with Su Cheng's current cultivation, he would find it extremely difficult to support such a powerful soul skill.
However, the consumption of spiritual power from self-created soul skills and soul skills from soul rings was fundamentally different.
Coupled with the domain's blessing, Su Cheng even had some energy left after using this sword.
After a moment, Qian Renxue's extremely domineering sword strike was nullified into nothingness.
"Not bad, it's you after all," a complex expression flashed across her face.
Then she lightly said, "Do you have any more moves?"
Naturally, he did.
Su Cheng remained silent, holding the sword in both hands.
Thirteenth Sword, Compassion for All Living Beings.
This time, it was different from when he fought Ji Yuan in the past; he didn't just use the starting move.
Within the domain, sword qi crisscrossed.
Powerful sword intent emanated from Su Cheng.
While spiritual power rapidly depleted, mental power also flowed away in large quantities.
A strange fluctuation spread outwards.
Using sword intent to stimulate emotions, then using emotions to strengthen sword intent.
This was his Sentient Sword.
This was no longer just a sword technique at the level of swordsmanship.
But he couldn't control this power very well; the residual energy of the sword move spread and expanded, the huge sword shadow shooting straight into the sky.
Qian Renxue's eyes showed a moment of daze.
Looking at Su Cheng's figure before her, gradually merging with the person in her memory, she seemed to return to the final scene in her dream.
The sword shadow pierced into her soul, her beloved dying before her eyes.
The mocking smile that had always been on her face slowly disappeared.
The fear of loss, the despair of the future.
Compared to that, death was even a kind of relief.
Su Cheng also felt a little dazed.
A similar scene appeared before him.
The sword that burned all his soul and life, the attack that destroyed the opponent's divine position.
At that time, the scene was an indelible knot for Qian Renxue.
For Su Cheng, it was the same.
He didn't kill Qian Renxue back then, but he did use her trust in him and personally destroyed her future.
Everything in that world wasn't a game, and Qian Renxue wasn't just an NPC.
"Do you regret it?" Qian Renxue's voice seemed to come from the horizon.
"What?" Su Cheng was slightly stunned.
Do I regret it?
"...No regrets."
His gaze became firm.
That wasn't a momentary impulse.
That was the path he had decided on from the beginning.
Saying anything about regret now would be ridiculous.
"I see."
"Clang—"
Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, the shattered sword shadow scattered all around.
Su Cheng's sword was interrupted.
"You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve, but it's still not enough," Qian Renxue stood in front of Su Cheng, the flame giant sword that had just reformed in her hand crumbling after this strike, and she said lightly.
This time, Su Cheng completely failed to keep up with her speed.
Before he could bring this sword to its peak, Qian Renxue preempted him with her move, not using her full strength.
But the time she spent using this soul skill was obviously unreasonable.
In Su Cheng's prediction, Qian Renxue's soul skill shouldn't have been able to reconstruct so quickly.
