At Jialing Pass, both sides were embroiled in an unprecedented war.
After Tang San and Qian Renxue met, their eyes burned with hostility, and they quickly launched an unparalleled battle between gods.
The two families had been sworn enemies for generations, each harboring the blood feud of a murdered father—there was no room left for reconciliation.
In one hand, Tang San wielded the Hao Tian Hammer, and in the other, the Rasha Demon Scythe. His entire body radiated an endless black aura, as if the heavens and earth were about to be consumed by darkness.
On the other side, Qian Renxue held the Angelic Holy Sword, her six-winged angel emanating golden light like the sun itself, appearing supremely holy.
The golden radiance clashed violently with the black aura, splitting the world into two halves—it was as if light and darkness themselves were colliding.
This was the clash between the Angel God and the Rasha God, like two natural-born enemies or the greatest opposing forces in existence.
Without any preamble, the two immediately engaged in a desperate fight.
Qian Renxue's Angel Domain possessed terrifying purifying power and the purest solar flames, capable of dispersing all darkness in the world.
But after becoming the Rasha God, Tang San now wielded the Rasha Domain, which exuded an overwhelmingly evil aura and possessed a terrifying ability to devour energy, seemingly capable of consuming everything.
As the two fought, their battle seemed to influence others on the battlefield, making the fighting even more brutal and relentless.
Meanwhile, the battle between Bibi Dong and Sword Douluo intensified, growing even more fierce and cruel.
Bibi Dong held a slight advantage, her eyes still tinged with disdain.
"Chen Xin, even with Ning Rongrong's amplification and your strength pushed to the limit, the gap between Level 98 and Level 99 is insurmountable. No matter how hard you try, you'll only end up repeating your father's fate."
Sword Douluo clenched his teeth: "Bibi Dong, there's nothing absolute in this world. Even if I sacrifice my life today, I will wash away the shame of the Seven Kill Sword lineage and drag your Spirit Empire off its pedestal."
Sword Douluo's father had died challenging Qian Daoliu. Even though he had reached the peak of Level 98, he was ultimately no match for Qian Daoliu at Level 99, falling in battle.
Though this war was a fair challenge, it was also the final glory of the Seven Kill Sword lineage.
Suddenly, all of Sword Douluo's energy merged into the Seven Kill Sword. The sword emitted an incredibly terrifying killing intent, coalescing into a massive "Kill" (杀) character that surged toward Bibi Dong, as if piercing through everything around it.
Bibi Dong sneered: "Interesting. So you intend to use the Seven Kill Sword Technique against me? You're overestimating yourself."
With full force, Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor used its giant pincers to block the sword energy, shattering the massive "Kill" character into fragments.
However, Sword Douluo now seemed to have entered a state of madness, a resolute determination unlike anything Ning Fengzhi or Bone Douluo had ever seen.
It was an unyielding pursuit of strength, a determination to challenge stronger opponents, and the unique pride of a swordsman.
At this moment, Sword Douluo no longer resembled a normal person but rather a peerless divine sword, standing alone in the world.
Sword Douluo swung the Seven Kill Sword again, and this time, the sword energy was even stronger, its power greater. Once again, a massive "Kill" character formed.
This was the true might of the Seven Kill Sword Technique. A genuine practitioner could infuse their killing intent and strength into the technique, forming a "Kill" character to slay their enemies.
Moreover, as the wielder grew stronger and their physical prowess more outstanding, each execution of the technique amplified their momentum and killing intent, allowing them to continue wielding the sword with increasing ferocity.
Furthermore, the "Kill" characters could stack. When the second "Kill" was used, its power could double.
When Sword Douluo's father fought Qian Daoliu, he consecutively unleashed nine "Kill" characters, pushing the Seven Kill Sword Technique to its limits. Unfortunately, he was still no match for Qian Daoliu, who perfectly fused with his Six-Winged Angel martial soul, ultimately killing him with a counterattack.
Since Tang San's appearance, Sword Douluo no longer held any reservations about Qian Renxue and didn't need to divide his attention elsewhere on the battlefield. At this moment, he was the embodiment of a pure swordsman.
Though Bibi Dong's strength was formidable, even when facing Sword Douluo's second "Kill" character, she remained completely unfazed. Her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor exuded a horrifying aura, having absorbed so many top-tier soul rings that the martial soul had reached an incredibly terrifying level—comparable to Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel.
The giant pincers of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor clamped down on Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword energy, shattering the sword qi.
But Sword Douluo showed no fear. His aura surged once again, and he swung another sword. The killing intent and sword energy were even more terrifying this time.
Even after Sword Douluo consecutively unleashed seven "Kill" characters, Bibi Dong easily blocked them all with her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
However, Bibi Dong's expression began to grow serious. Despite her overwhelming strength, a trace of caution crept into her mind.
Each of Sword Douluo's strikes grew stronger, their power increasing. Moreover, Sword Douluo was a top-tier Level 98 expert. Against ordinary Title Douluo, the seventh "Kill" character would have been enough to kill them outright.
At this moment, Sword Douluo's aura seemed to have reached its peak as he unleashed his eighth "Kill" character. This "Kill" character had grown immensely large, its shadow tinged with blood-red. The very heavens and earth began to change color.
Bibi Dong let out a maniacal laugh: "Chen Xin, since you seek death and wish to follow in your father's footsteps, I'll oblige you today."
Bibi Dong's sixth soul ring flashed, and her colossal Soul Devouring Spider Emperor exuded an overwhelmingly terrifying aura. A devastating attack tore through space itself, as if emerging from hell, capable of shredding everything in existence.
This was Bibi Dong's sixth soul skill, part two: Spatial Tear, Cut of the Abyss. This attack locked onto the enemy's spirit, shattering their mental defenses—a miraculous feat and one of Bibi Dong's strongest skills.
But Sword Douluo showed no fear. All his sword energy seemed to merge into one as the eighth "Kill" character surged toward Bibi Dong.
Sword Douluo's fully powered eighth "Kill" character soon collided with Bibi Dong's strongest attack.
Both had pushed their strength to the limit. The "Kill" character of the Seven Kill Sword Technique and Bibi Dong's attack dissolved into nothingness, and the entire space seemed to collapse.
Bibi Dong was sent flying hundreds of meters, while Sword Douluo retreated a hundred meters, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
It was clear that this all-out strike had injured both of them, though Sword Douluo appeared to be hurt worse.
Bibi Dong let out a wild laugh: "Chen Xin, I never expected you to wound me. Your strength hasn't disappointed me."
"Pity, though. Whether it's you or the entire battlefield at Jialing Pass, everything here will become my nourishment, the foundation of my ascension to godhood. From now on, no one will dare to humiliate me—I will be the most powerful god in existence."
As Bibi Dong spoke, an eerie feeling spread across the battlefield. It was as if Jialing Pass itself had transformed into a terrifying formation. The flesh, blood, and energy of all those who had died began to gather together, seemingly fusing into Bibi Dong's body.
Especially the undead legion—they now faced Bibi Dong as if in worship, celebrating the birth of a deity.
Even Tang San wanted to intervene, but alas, his battle with Qian Renxue had reached its fiercest point, leaving him unable to divert his attention to deal with Bibi Dong.
Meanwhile, Sword Douluo's face turned frosty, his eyes filled only with the will to fight. It was as if everything else in the world had faded from his mind. He wanted only to defeat his enemy with all his strength, to uphold the last dignity of a swordsman and preserve the final honor of the Seven Kill Sword lineage.
Whether it was Ning Rongrong or Ning Fengzhi, everyone was astonished. Sword Douluo had never brought his sword techniques to such a level before, nor had he ever been so resolute. Even Bone Douluo, watching from afar, appeared deeply worried.
"Dad, something feels off about Uncle Sword. We can't let Grandpa Sword keep fighting like this—he'll die!"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Rongrong, this is Uncle Sword's lifelong pursuit. Other than supporting him, there's nothing we can do."
Tears welled up in Ning Rongrong's eyes: "But I don't want Grandpa Sword to be in danger. I want him to watch me grow up."
Ning Fengzhi patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder: "Rongrong, everyone has their own pursuits. This moment is Uncle Sword's choice, and it's the greatest glory of his life."
Ning Rongrong clenched her teeth, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda emitted nine beams of light, all converging into Sword Douluo's body. At this moment, Ning Rongrong had pushed the pagoda's auxiliary abilities to their absolute limit.
Sword Douluo gazed at the somewhat frenzied Bibi Dong in the distance. His eyes turned slightly crimson, and all of his soul power seemed to transform into pure killing intent in an instant.
Sword Douluo gritted his teeth and suddenly took out a dark green sausage. Without hesitation, he swallowed it whole.
This was Oscar's Limit Breaking Dark Green Sausage, prepared for sudden emergencies. Now, this ultimate enhancement had fallen into the hands of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's strongest fighter, Sword Douluo.
After consuming the Limit Breaking Dark Green Sausage, Sword Douluo's aura surged once again. His soul power seemed to break through its previous limits, and his Level 98 appeared to have reached Level 99 at this moment.
Facing Bibi Dong, whose aura was still rising, Sword Douluo unleashed his final sword with every ounce of strength. This sword seemed to reach the pinnacle of the world, containing all of Sword Douluo's killing intent.
This was Sword Douluo's ninth "Kill" character—the culmination of his strength, the apex of his power. It was the result of stacking all the killing intent from nine consecutive "Kill" characters, representing the strongest sword strike in the history of the Seven Kill Sword.
The "Kill" character glowed blood-red. Even Bibi Dong, whose soul power was still climbing rapidly, now revealed a hint of caution—and even a trace of fear.
