-------------------------
Outside Jialing Pass, the war had temporarily paused due to heavy casualties on both sides. Both commanders even seemed inclined to negotiate peace.
However, Bibi Dong, who had previously returned to the Spirit Hall City, unexpectedly reappeared at Jialing Pass. At this moment, she exuded an overwhelming aura, showing no signs of her previous injuries and even putting immense pressure on Jin E Douluo.
Jin E Douluo had always looked down on Bibi Dong. After all, both were at Level 98, with little difference in strength. Moreover, Jin E Douluo's martial soul was the Golden Crocodile King—an exceptional beast-type martial soul. In terms of raw power and destructive capability, it was even stronger than Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
Not to mention, Jin E Douluo had Qian Daoliu as his backer and five top-tier Title Douluo brothers. Within the Spirit Empire, he held a position second only to the ruler herself.
But before he could react, Bibi Dong unleashed an incredibly terrifying presence. Her mighty Soul Devouring Spider Emperor appeared, accompanied by a configuration of five black, two red, and two black soul rings.
Even Jin E Douluo was shocked: "You've absorbed two soul rings so quickly and reached Level 99? Aren't you afraid something will go wrong?"
Bibi Dong sneered: "What could possibly go wrong? I'm someone favored by the gods. Look at Tang San over there—he's absorbed so many soul rings so quickly. Has anything gone wrong for him?"
Jin E Douluo replied: "The current ruler of the Spirit Empire is Young Miss, the great Angel God. Even if you've reached Level 99, you can't hope to stand against a god."
Bibi Dong's eyes revealed disdain: "Where is this so-called Angel God? A mighty Angel God losing to a mere mortal soul master? It's an embarrassment to the Angel God and to our Spirit Empire. I absolutely won't allow such a thing to happen again."
"Our Spirit Empire aims to unify the world, not cower behind the walls of Jialing Pass. If this continues, we'll eventually face a pincer attack from the two empires, and the Spirit Empire will be destroyed by your group of incompetent fools."
Bibi Dong's words radiated dominance, fully embodying her former self as the haughty empress, disregarding everyone present.
Jin E Douluo's face turned fierce.
"Bibi Dong, don't forget your place. Your position as the Spirit Empire's emperor has already been stripped away. No matter how strong you are, you're still just one person. Do you think we six elders are here just for show?"
Bibi Dong roared angrily: "Jin E, you overestimate yourself. I am the founder of the Spirit Empire. I care nothing for the Angel race—I only care about ruling the entire world and dominating the soul master community. Anyone who opposes me will meet a terrible end."
Jin E Douluo and Bibi Dong stood in silent confrontation, their auras on the verge of exploding.
At this moment, the remaining five elders appeared behind Jin E Douluo. With all six elders gathered—all above Level 96—even Bibi Dong at Level 99 would find it difficult to suppress them all.
However, Bibi Dong sneered, and nine figures suddenly appeared behind her. Upon seeing these nine individuals, all the elders were astonished, their eyes filled with fear.
These nine were none other than the nine great elder council members of the Spirit Empire—one of the reasons for the elders' shock.
After years of brutal warfare, five of the nine elders had perished, leaving only the Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Ling Yuan Douluo, and Holy Dragon Douluo. The other five had fallen in battle—nine elders died during the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family massacre, while four others were killed by Yang Xiong's group, including the crucial Ju and Gui Douluo.
But now, Ju and Gui Douluo—the two loyal followers of Bibi Dong—had reappeared in an extremely strange state.
They still exuded the aura of a Title Douluo, but they were brimming with an evil presence that made even other Title Douluo shudder.
In the world of Douluo, there was no method of resurrection. Never had a fallen powerhouse returned to life unless Bibi Dong had used some special or forbidden technique.
And such a method would undoubtedly be one of the most evil techniques in existence, potentially bringing unprecedented disaster and being unacceptable to the Angel God.
Jin E Douluo was furious: "Bibi Dong, you've dared to resurrect your subordinates using evil methods. Don't you know this will invite divine punishment?"
Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed with madness: "What is an evil method? This world has always been about survival of the fittest, where only the victor reigns supreme."
"As long as I can slaughter the Tian Dou army and eliminate all the Tian Dou Empire's experts, the Spirit Empire will sweep across the world. By the time I unify the world, no one will care what methods I used."
Jin E Douluo retorted: "Bibi Dong, you've gone mad. Our Spirit Empire represents angels and justice. If we follow your methods, we'll be despised by the world, unable to become leaders of the soul master community or rule over all soul masters."
Bibi Dong laughed maniacally: "Hahaha! It's because of people like you—so rigid and inflexible—that the Spirit Empire has fallen into this situation. Back then, you didn't exterminate the Hao Tian Sect completely, which led to this mess. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to face so many Title Douluo from the Hao Tian Sect."
"Besides, the true war and slaughter are about to begin. No one can stop me—not even Qian Renxue."
Jin E Douluo said: "Bibi Dong, you're mistaken about something. Young Miss has already lost, and Yang Xiong is now the strongest person in the world. Even if you've reached Level 99, you'll never match Yang Xiong. All your efforts will be in vain."
Bibi Dong sneered: "Jin E, this is the difference between Level 98 and Level 99—one of the reasons you'll never break through to Level 99."
"Only after truly reaching Level 99 can one perceive the essence of this world. Right now, I can no longer sense Yang Xiong's presence in this world. He must already be undergoing divine inheritance. Do you think Yang Xiong, once he becomes a god, will spare any of you? Will he spare our Spirit Empire?"
"Moreover, apart from Yang Xiong, there's also that despicable Tang San—who is only one step away from godhood. Given Tang San's hatred for the Spirit Empire and his ruthless nature, do you think he'll spare anyone here?"
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment. They hadn't expected that both Yang Xiong and Tang San were on the verge of becoming gods. In that case, how could Qian Renxue, as the Angel God, possibly resist? Perhaps this would truly mark the end of the Spirit Empire.
At this moment, a flash of golden light appeared, and a golden figure materialized—it was Qian Renxue.
"Bibi Dong, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you leading our Spirit Empire to its doom?"
Bibi Dong's eyes revealed disdain: "Qian Renxue, don't think that becoming a god gives you the right to act so arrogantly. You should understand the current situation of our Spirit Empire better than anyone. If we don't seize this opportunity to fight, the Angel race will be completely wiped out."
Qian Renxue replied: "Bibi Dong, you're overthinking things. Yang Xiong wouldn't have such intentions. Otherwise, he could have killed me last time."
Bibi Dong shook her head: "Qian Renxue, you're too naive. After fighting Yang Xiong so many times, don't you understand his character yet?"
"Yang Xiong spared you repeatedly only because he had reservations. Before, he feared Qian Daoliu; now, he fears your final desperate strike. If not for your lineage, you'd already be dead."
"And don't forget—Tang San is also on the verge of godhood. You should understand what the Rakshasa God represents. The Angel God and the Rakshasa God are natural opposites, and the Rakshasa God's ultimate goal is to annihilate the Angel race."
"After years of enmity between our Spirit Empire and the Hao Tian Sect—and between your Angel race and the Tang family—do you think Tang San will spare you? Don't forget, Tang San's mother died at the hands of your father, and Tang San's father died at your hands. You have no way out."
Qian Renxue glared at Bibi Dong: "Bibi Dong, your words may sound noble, but your real intention is to use those special methods to ascend to godhood. Don't think I don't know what you're planning—I'll never let you succeed."
Bibi Dong shook her head: "You're just a defeated subordinate of Yang Xiong. What right do you have to stop me? You can admit defeat, but I'll never admit the failure of the Spirit Empire. Our empire will ultimately unify the world."
Qian Renxue's face was filled with anger: "Who says I've lost? Last time, I only lost to Yang Xiong by a single move. That wasn't my fault—it was yours. If you weren't the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, my Angel God soul wouldn't have had defects or traces of darkness."
"Now, I've compensated for my shortcomings. I'm now the perfect Angel God. Even the Rakshasa God isn't my match."
Bibi Dong sneered: "I don't care about the conflict between the Angel God and the Rakshasa God, nor your entanglement with Yang Xiong. I only know this is our last chance. If our Spirit Empire fails, we'll face attacks from two gods, and the Spirit Empire will cease to exist."
"You're the inheritor of the Angel God. If even you won't fight for the Spirit Empire, then the empire has no reason to exist."
"Besides, after fighting Yang Xiong so many times, haven't you improved at all? Though you appear stronger, you lack the decisiveness and courage to fight without hesitation like Yang Xiong and Tang San. That's why you're destined to fail."
Qian Renxue roared angrily: "Enough! You have no right to judge me. As you wish, I'll personally kill Tang San and deal with Yang Xiong. You focus on your own affairs."
Bibi Dong laughed wildly: "That's the spirit! Since this battle began, it's been a fight to the death. Stop pretending to be the merciful Angel God. The Angel God also ascended to godhood through slaughter, killing countless ferocious beasts along the way."
With that, Bibi Dong waved her hand, and a large number of figures appeared behind her. These were the fallen experts of the Spirit Empire, now resurrected through Bibi Dong's special methods. Each of them exuded an overwhelming evil aura and fanatical loyalty, existing solely to serve Bibi Dong.
Using a massive formation, Bibi Dong had revived these souls from hell. They were loyal only to her, fearless in the face of death, forming the most terrifying legion in existence—the Undead Legion.
