Above Jialing Pass, Tang San and Bibi Dong fought with extreme ferocity, the momentum incredibly vast, as if both were fighting for their lives.
In fact, from the moment they first clashed, they had sensed something was off about each other.
Although their Martial Souls were different, and even the types of Martial Souls varied greatly – Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor were top-tier beast Martial Souls, while Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was a plant Martial Soul and the Clear Sky Hammer was a tool Martial Soul –
When they truly began to exchange blows, they discovered that their soul power attributes were remarkably similar.
Normally, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass possessed the ultimate life attribute, but due to absorbing too many soul rings with poison and dark attributes, especially after the Clear Sky Hammer absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, it gradually began to affect his body as well.
This led to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass absorbing its ninth soul ring. Although it came from a divine bestowed soul ring, the soul skill automatically adapted to the Martial Soul and body's optimal attributes, ultimately resulting in dark and bloodthirsty attributes, and the Blue Silver Grass evolved into Dark Blue Silver Grass.
As for Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, after continuously absorbing seven dark and evil attribute soul rings, it had gradually begun to change, transforming from a purely power attribute to an evil and dark attribute.
In contrast, both of Bibi Dong's Martial Souls, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor and the Death Spider Emperor, were exceptionally evil soul beasts, possessing not only extremely strong devouring power but also very potent toxins.
Only after they truly engaged in combat did they realize that the other's soul power attributes were completely similar to their own.
It was as if they had discovered something incredible. One must know that with their talent and strength, reaching their current realm was not only due to their own hard work and fearlessness of danger, but also the inheritance trials they underwent.
After completing certain trial contents, both of them possessed a certain degree of Rakshasa God attributes.
Moreover, if it weren't for the Rakshasa God, Tang San couldn't have become so powerful in such a short time, nor could he have absorbed so many soul rings in such a short period.
One must know that it had only been a few months since Tang San entered the Star Dou Great Forest. During this time, he had risen from level eighty-seven to level ninety-six, absorbing a full eight soul rings, in addition to several soul bones.
One must know that Bibi Dong had cultivated for so many years, especially having reached the Titled Douluo realm for at least twenty years, yet her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor had only absorbed seven soul rings. This was because there was a certain repulsive force between her two Martial Souls.
And theoretically, Tang San should also experience a repulsive force between his dual Martial Souls. No matter how strong his body was, the Martial Soul attributes were ultimately incompatible.
But after Tang San absorbed the two soul rings from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he began to accept the recruitment of the Evil God King. The effect of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger on Tang San's body even far surpassed that of ordinary hundred-thousand-year evil attribute soul rings.
Bibi Dong let out an angry roar: "You little brat, how dare you covet my Rakshasa God inheritance! Today I will tear you to shreds and let you know that I am the true inheritor of the Rakshasa God."
A hint of disdain appeared in Tang San's eyes: "Bibi Dong, put away your condescending attitude. The treasures of the world belong to the capable. I am favored by the Evil God King, not someone you, a mere Rakshasa God inheritor, can compare to."
Bibi Dong was furious: "Tang San, do you think this is all the strength I have? Today, no matter what, I will make you pay the price, no matter what, you will die."
Tang San said: "Is it you who will make me pay the price, or is it I who will seek revenge on you? Back then, your Spirit Hall harmed my mother, attacked my Clear Sky Sect, forced my Clear Sky Sect to retreat, and ultimately caused the decline of the Clear Sky Sect."
"You even killed Xiao Wu's mother back then. Whether for myself or for Xiao Wu, I will demand repayment for the blood debt of that year."
The true orchestrator of the battle between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall back then was Bibi Dong. It was also Bibi Dong who single-handedly forced the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion, making Bibi Dong the Clear Sky Sect's true greatest enemy.
Bibi Dong also used that achievement from back then to ascend to the position of Pope of Spirit Hall as an outsider. This was the only Pope in the history of Spirit Hall who did not originate from the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Tang San and Bibi Dong were like enemies meeting, unleashing all sorts of methods, trying everything to kill their opponent.
Of course, others only saw their fierce battle, unaware that upon entering the battlefield, both of them also had new trial content, all from the Rakshasa God inheritance trial.
Although Tang San accepted the recruitment of the Evil God King, the one who actually sent down the trial was the Rakshasa God. There was no information about the Rakshasa God in the world, and even when Tang Chen was controlled by the Rakshasa God back then, he was unaware of the Rakshasa God's existence.
From beginning to end, Tang Chen thought there was a problem with the Asura God's trial, completely unaware that his failure in the trial back then was due to the Rakshasa God's interference. Therefore, he did not give Tang San any special instructions, nor did he have any other way to help Tang San.
When Tang San and Bibi Dong truly fought to an extremely tragic point, their killing and evil attributes gradually aligned with the battlefield.
The Blue Silver Grass possessed ultimate devouring ability and also ultimate dark attributes. In this endless slaughter battlefield, it gradually began to absorb the blood and corpses from the battlefield. Energy surged into his body, and even within all the energy, there was a certain special spiritual ability.
Although the Dark Blue Silver Grass was powerful, after inhaling these blood and souls, Tang San's entire body seemed to be gradually affected, becoming more bloodthirsty and murderous, and also becoming more uncontrollable, just like when Yang Xiong first emerged from the Hell Slaughter Arena.
Bibi Dong originally possessed the Deathgod Domain, and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor also had ultimate devouring ability, capable of devouring not only the dead but even the living.
The more they fought, the fiercer they became, and the battle scene became increasingly out of control, with both sides constantly using various soul skills.
Ultimately, Bibi Dong's strength was superior. After all, Bibi Dong was at the peak of level ninety-eight, while Tang San was at level ninety-six. Even if Tang San's Dark Blue Silver Grass was extremely poisonous, it ultimately couldn't compare to the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's innate toxin.
By evening, they had been fighting for a full day. Even with all their might, neither side could gain a significant advantage.
The Heaven Dou Empire, relying on its powerful military force, could only contend with the powerful Soul Master Legion and was unable to break through Jialing Pass.
While the Spirit Empire's Soul Master Legion was powerful, they were ultimately two Titled Douluo short compared to the Heaven Dou Empire. Even though they had many more Soul Douluo, and their auxiliary capabilities were inferior to Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong, they were unable to create a situation that could annihilate the Heaven Dou army.
Seeing that this would be an endless war of attrition, if they continued fighting, both sides' main forces would be completely depleted. At that point, let alone dominating the world, it would probably be difficult to even protect themselves, especially since there was also a formidable Star Luo Empire on the other side contending with the Spirit Empire.
When both sides sounded the retreat, Tang San and Bibi Dong, although unwilling, could only end the battle.
At this moment, Tang San was not lightly injured, and there was also a faint hint of a certain potent poison. The Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's large pincers were not only incredibly sharp but also very flexible and full of power. The Dark Blue Silver Grass was directly shattered countless times, and there was an extremely terrifying wound on his shoulder, with wisps of black energy within the wound.
Bibi Dong was slightly better, but many bones on her body were also shattered by the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer was even more overbearing than Tang Hao's.
When both sides' forces had completely retreated to their original positions, everyone was lamenting the tragic nature of this battle and also feeling fortunate to have survived the battlefield.
This battle was the largest Soul Master war in nearly a thousand years, and also the most tragic war in recent years. Not only were there countless casualties on both sides, but even many experts had fallen.
Even the Titled Douluo who had not fallen were all injured at this moment. Even Sword Douluo had endured several blows from Golden Crocodile Douluo head-on. His originally calm and meticulous face was now stained with a lot of blood.
As for the ordinary soldiers, the casualties were even greater.
The Heaven Dou Empire had mobilized a full 1.6 million troops this time, with a total of over eight thousand Soul Masters, including over three thousand from the three major sects.
But after this war, a full 400,000 ordinary soldiers were killed or injured, and even two thousand of the eight thousand Soul Masters were lost. Even the three major sects suffered losses of over 20%. Even the Clear Sky Sect, which had the smallest total number of people, lost many.
Among the younger generation, Ning Rongrong and others performed exceptionally well.
Purely in terms of auxiliary ability, Ning Rongrong had actually surpassed Ning Fengzhi. If it weren't for Ning Rongrong's powerful crowd control ability and the strong amplification of her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master losses would have been much greater, and they would not have been able to contend with the Spirit Empire's Soul Master Legion.
Even the many Titled Douluo were able to contend with the Spirit Empire's Titled Douluo because of the full auxiliary support from the many Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters.
And in order to deal with the auxiliary support from the large number of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul Soul Masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, many Soul Masters from the Spirit Empire attacked recklessly. Fortunately, Yang Wei, Qin Shuang, and others were very strong, and even Feng Xiaotian and others fully protected Ning Rongrong and the others.
Now both sides have begun to pay attention to the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire. These young people have performed exceptionally well, and it can even be said that they are only a step away from being true top masters.
Among the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire, Tang San can directly confront Bibi Dong. Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Yang Wei, Qin Shuang, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan are all much stronger than the younger generation of the Spirit Empire.
Especially the Body Sect, everyone can now see the brilliance of the Body Sect's next generation. Not to mention that the Body Sect Master, Yang Xiong, has not yet appeared; he is the truly recognized number one master of the younger generation.
In contrast, the Spirit Empire also suffered heavy losses in this war.
Originally, the Spirit Empire had a total of 1.2 million troops, with a full 800,000 stationed at Heaven's Gate Pass on the Star Luo Empire battlefield, and only 400,000 troops plus 40,000 soul masters at Jialing Pass.
The Spirit Empire was able to repel the Heaven Dou Empire's attack this time by relying on the strength of its Soul Master Legion, but it also suffered very serious losses. The 400,000 troops lost a full 30%, leaving less than 300,000 troops now.
Of course, the Spirit Empire also has a most important point, which is the fifth enshrined of the Spirit Hall, Light Feather Douluo.
Light Feather Douluo is the only long-range Titled Douluo in the world. His Martial Soul, the Light Feather Bow, has extremely strong killing power on the battlefield. One arrow can even easily break through a Soul Douluo's defense, and even Titled Douluo dare not underestimate it.
Even Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were almost hit by ice arrows. Light Feather Douluo was like a battlefield sniper, forming a deterrent across the entire battlefield.
However, although the Soul Master Legion was strong, it also lost a full 5,000 soul masters.
This was while defending with the help of Jialing Pass's tall city walls; otherwise, the losses would have been even greater.
