To win quickly, Qian Renxue immediately used her strongest ninth soul skill. Unlike in the original, although she hadn't yet fully completed the divine trial or received the reward of all 50,000-year soul rings, she now possessed both an eighth and ninth 100,000-year soul ring.
One of her ninth soul ring abilities, just like her father's, was Angel's Radiance—a long-range attack skill.
Qian Renxue clasped her hands in front of her chest in a prayer gesture, her whole body radiating golden light as she fired a massive golden beam, its power overwhelming.
Although the Demon Spirit's cultivation was far higher than Qian Renxue's, the attribute suppression was too great; its actual strength could only match hers. Especially when facing this kind of divine ultimate move, it couldn't even dodge—Qian Renxue's god-level Martial Soul Angel Domain had it locked at the center, unable to move even with teleportation.
The intense wave of light swept over the Demon Spirit, and its originally pitch-black form began to dissolve, as if melting away.
"Oh, a god-level Martial Soul with divine power! Normally, no matter who the Demon Spirit faces, its elusive body and bizarre attacks give it the upper hand. But against the Angel Martial Soul, it's totally suppressed." As Di Tian fought Bibi Dong, he still had the attention to spare for other battlefields. "You're blood-related to this girl—she's your daughter, right? She's quite impressive. But, unfortunately, the Demon Spirit is my subordinate; I can't just watch it die!"
Di Tian's relaxed attitude infuriated Bibi Dong. Did he know who he was fighting? The unprecedented female Pope of Spirit Hall, soon-to-be Empress of the Spirit Empire, inheritor of the Rakshasa God—yet he dared to be distracted.
"You'll pay for your carelessness! Soul Bone Skill: Blood Slaughter!" Bibi Dong bit her lip hard, and a strong red light burst from her chest, instantly spreading across her torso and back. The light was so strange, it looked like her bones were emerging from her body—this could only mean one thing: her most important soul bone, the torso bone, and from the red color, clearly a 100,000-year soul bone.
As the red light bloomed, the carapace on Bibi Dong's chest suddenly split open to the sides, revealing a mass of intense red light inside. It looked as if a giant eye had grown from her chest.
This 100,000-year torso bone's soul bone skill was no weaker than Qian Renxue's Angel's Radiance, though the attributes were totally opposite: if Qian Renxue's move was holy, this one was full of baleful, bloody aura.
"A good move, but…" Di Tian, who had earlier blocked Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack with a single finger, now became much more serious, using his entire left arm.
The blood-colored light was caught in Di Tian's palm. Even though Bibi Dong was ten times stronger than Chrysanthemum Douluo, her strike only pushed him this far.
"You are indeed strong, but because your divine trial doesn't suit you that well, it actually restricts your power. To me, that's all there is to you." Di Tian said. He hadn't even tried seriously, nor transformed into his Black Dragon form. A Bibi Dong who couldn't fight at full strength was no real match.
While Di Tian caught Bibi Dong's attack with his left hand, he casually swung his right hand like a sword, instantly cutting Qian Renxue's Angel's Radiance in half.
Di Tian's swordsmanship was also extraordinary. He had three self-created ultimate techniques; one of which was the Black Dragon Sword. Just now, he'd only shown its surface. The time had not yet come to use its true power.
"What?!" Qian Renxue was shocked. Her most powerful soul skill had been so easily sliced apart.
Meanwhile, the four Titled Douluo were being beaten back by Zi Ji and the Myriad Demon King. Their soul power was under level 95; without Super Douluo strength, they couldn't compete with these fierce beasts.
"This isn't good. Sister Xue and the others might be wiped out," thought Tianlin from the shadows, somewhat worried. Of course, whether Bibi Dong lived or died was irrelevant to him. Back then, he only helped Qian Renxue resolve her grudge with Bibi Dong to prevent Bibi Dong from slaughtering Gengxin City and to delay her becoming a god.
If Bibi Dong died here, that would benefit Tianlin more than harm him.
Tianlin only truly cared about two things: Qian Renxue's life, and whether, if Spirit Hall lost too quickly, he'd miss his opportunity to obtain the Spirit Orbs from Zi Ji and Bi Ji.
"Xue'er, leave now!" Bibi Dong retreated to Qian Renxue's side. Although her earlier attack was ultimately blocked by Di Tian, it still seriously wounded the Demon Spirit.
At this moment, the Demon Spirit could not stop Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue nodded, spread her six angel wings, and prepared to flee. She knew only if she escaped first, her mother might have a chance to withdraw later.
"Hmph, you think you can just leave? Dream on!" Di Tian said coldly. He had already given the order—today, all humans who offended the Lake of Life must die.
In a flash, Di Tian chased after Qian Renxue.
"Don't even think about it! Ninth Soul Skill, Undying Body!" Bibi Dong would never let Di Tian catch her daughter. She activated her Undying Body and charged at Di Tian, attacking recklessly without defense.
Undying Body was Bibi Dong's strongest survival support skill, inherited from the 100,000-year Death Spider Emperor. It had two effects: even if her body was shattered, she could reform—undying and unharmed; and she could turn her body into energy, immune to physical attacks. Both effects shared a trait: unless the enemy was at god level, Bibi Dong could never truly be killed in this state.
Like someone who didn't care for her life, Bibi Dong attacked Di Tian madly with the eight sharp spider spears of the Death Spider Emperor.
Di Tian easily dodged these wild attacks, but his movement was still blocked, preventing him from pursuing Qian Renxue.
"Heh, no wonder you dare oppose me, you actually have such a life-for-life tactic. Do you really think you're unkillable?" Di Tian said confidently. "Let me show you what a god-level attack is—Dragon God Claw!"
Facing the crazed Bibi Dong, Di Tian finally got serious. He used the Dragon God's secret skill: Dragon God Claw.
Tang Chen once said the Sumeru Hammer was a divine skill, allowing one to fight enemies far above their level—but compared to the Dragon God Claw, it was nothing. This was a true god skill.
Bibi Dong's spider spears were instantly shattered by the sharp dragon claw. The Dragon God Claw, its power unabated, struck Bibi Dong's abdomen, piercing straight through.
Bibi Dong stared at Di Tian's dragon claw in disbelief. Her Undying Body could not completely negate this attack!
