But Qian Renshang had no other choice. He carefully controlled the two forces, letting them intertwine and permeate each other.
At first, the two forces clashed, causing Qian Renshang's soul to feel as if it were being torn apart, an unbearable pain.
But he gritted his teeth, relying on his tenacious willpower, constantly adjusting the way the forces merged.
Gradually, the power of the City of Slaughter began to produce a strange reaction with Lucifer's dark energy.
The dark energy, which had originally been determined to devour Qian Renshang's soul, actually showed a slight loosening under the influence of the City of Slaughter's power.
Qian Renshang keenly noticed this change, and he increased his guidance of the City of Slaughter's power, attempting to further disrupt Lucifer's dark energy.
Lucifer noticed Qian Renshang's actions, and his expression changed slightly.
"What are you doing? Stop making futile struggles!"
Lucifer roared, not expecting that Qian Renshang could still come up with a solution in this desperate situation.
He hurriedly strengthened his control over the dark energy, attempting to break through Qian Renshang's interference and complete the possession.
In an instant, two powerful dark forces clashed fiercely within Qian Renshang's sea of consciousness.
Qian Renshang's consciousness struggled to hold on in the eye of the storm, his forehead covered in large beads of sweat, his body trembling slightly from the pain.
But his eyes remained unwavering, his heart filled with only one belief: Lucifer must not succeed!
Who would emerge victorious in this battle deep within the soul?
Could Qian Renshang launch a counterattack against Lucifer's schemes, successfully protect his soul, and ultimately become a god? Everything remained uncertain…
…
Qian Daoliu stood atop the Spirit Hall, his expression grave as he gazed towards the City of Slaughter.
Upon learning of the unusual activity in the City of Slaughter, his face instantly darkened.
Although he had never ventured deeply into this place, his years of experience on the Douluo Continent and his understanding of secrets told him that it harbored complex connections to deities.
The powerful tremor he felt filled him with a sense of foreboding.
"Could it be that someone is attempting to ascend to godhood from within? Or... is something even more terrifying happening?"
Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, his eyes revealing deep worry.
He knew that if something were to happen in the City of Slaughter, its impact would not be limited to that sinful place; it could potentially affect the entire Douluo Continent and even attract the attention of the God Realm.
"Guards!"
Qian Daoliu gave the order, and several elders from the Spirit Hall rushed over.
"Grand Elder, what are your orders?"
one elder asked respectfully.
Qian Daoliu's cold gaze swept over the crowd, and he said, "Immediately dispatch multiple elite teams to secretly go to the vicinity of the Slaughter City and closely monitor its every move. Remember, do not alert them.
Report to me immediately if there is any disturbance."
"Yes!" The elders accepted the order and quickly withdrew to make arrangements.
At the same time, Qian Renxue also heard the news and rushed over.
"Grandpa, what happened in the Slaughter City?
Why did it suddenly shake?"
Qian Renxue asked anxiously.
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly and slowly said,
"Xue'er, the situation in the City of Slaughter is extremely complicated, and we don't yet know exactly what happened.
But what is certain is that this matter is related to the gods and is by no means an ordinary event. During this time, you must strengthen the defenses of the Spirit Hall and not be negligent in the slightest."
Qian Renxue nodded, her eyes revealing determination: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will arrange everything.
But... do you think this matter might be related to Qian Renshang?"
