-------------------------

Facing Bibi Dong's accusations, Yang Xiong remained extremely calm, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain. 

"Constant fighting is so boring. If you hadn't already killed so many people, and if I were to suppress you now, wouldn't I become the strongest in this world? Wouldn't everything then be decided by me?" 

Bibi Dong's eyes revealed a trace of contempt: "Yang Xiong, though you managed to defeat Qian Renxue last time by sheer luck, I am completely different from her. I fought my way out of Slaughter City." 

As Bibi Dong spoke, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor immediately displayed its soul rings—five black, two red, two black, and one golden ring. Especially the final golden ring, which exuded an overwhelming pressure that even everyone at Jialing Pass could feel, as if their very souls were being suppressed. This was the true power of a million-year soul ring. 

Yang Xiong merely sneered. His entire body turned blood-red, covered in crimson lightning, and five black and four red soul rings appeared around him. 

Though he had one less soul ring than Bibi Dong, his aura was no weaker than hers. 

Bibi Dong unleashed her Soul Devouring Domain, a unique domain formed after the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor ascended to godhood. It radiated an extremely dark and evil presence, with a terrifying devouring ability capable of consuming even divine power. 

But Yang Xiong showed no fear. A blood-red aura emanated from his body—his Asura Domain. 

The sky was instantly split in half by the domains of Yang Xiong and Bibi Dong. Neither gave an inch, and it seemed impossible to determine a victor. 

Yang Xiong sneered: "Bibi Dong, you went through so much trouble to ascend to godhood, yet your strength is only this much? You've truly disappointed me." 

Bibi Dong roared furiously: "Yang Xiong, you're courting death!" 

The giant pincers of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor began to glow, and with a swift cross-slash, a green intersecting wave erupted, seemingly capable of tearing apart space itself. 

This was Bibi Dong's sixth soul skill of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor: Everlasting Wound. Originally her strongest single-target attack, its power had grown even more terrifying now that she had ascended to godhood. Even Tang San and Qian Renxue felt an immense threat from it. 

Yang Xiong merely sneered: "Bibi Dong, you relied on your superior soul power to bully my teachers earlier. Now I'll show you that the Seven Kill Sword Technique can indeed kill you." 

With his left hand gripping the sword sheath and his right hand on the hilt, Yang Xiong forcefully drew the Asura Demon Sword in one fluid motion. In an instant, he completed the motions of drawing, unsheathing, slashing, and resheathing the sword. Several blood-red sword qi shot into the sky, quickly forming a massive blood-red "Kill" character. 

This too was the Seven Kill Sword Technique. Though it might not match Sword Douluo's finesse in swordsmanship, in terms of killing intent, mastery of murderous energy, and control over domains, it far surpassed Sword Douluo. 

Especially Yang Xiong's Seven Kill Sword Technique, which had fused the Asura Domain into the sword qi, combined with the most ferocious and terrifying Asura Demon Sword in existence. 

When Yang Xiong unleashed the Seven Kill Sword Technique, the "Kill" character glowed blood-red, surrounded by crimson lightning. The moment this technique was used, the heavens seemed to change color, and space itself appeared to shatter. 

Yang Xiong's blood-red Seven Kill Sword Qi collided with Bibi Dong's Everlasting Wound. For an instant, the entire world trembled. 

Bibi Dong's Everlasting Wound, which had previously ignored all defenses, gradually dissipated under the collision with Yang Xiong's Seven Kill Sword Technique, eventually vanishing into nothingness. 

Even Bibi Dong herself seemed to have been struck heavily, flying back hundreds of meters. Her eyes were filled with disbelief—her powerful attack had been so easily neutralized, and she was now at a clear disadvantage. 

In contrast, Yang Xiong appeared completely relaxed, as if he held Bibi Dong in utter contempt. 

From afar, Sword Douluo watched Yang Xiong's every move, his eyes filled with astonishment. 

"This little Xiong… I never expected him to master the Seven Kill Sword Technique to this extent. As his teacher, I'm almost embarrassed." 

Bibi Dong seemed somewhat infuriated: "Yang Xiong, you dare humiliate me! You only rely on divine artifacts. Even without them, I would never lose to you!" 

After speaking, all of Bibi Dong's power rapidly converged onto the giant pincers of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. With full force, the colossal spider emperor swung its pincers, forming a pitch-black scythe in the sky. Over a hundred meters long, it resembled a massive blade or a demon from hell. 

This was Bibi Dong's ultimate attack, pushing her strength to the limit. Its name was Wrath of the Death God. 

But Yang Xiong showed no fear. His left arm suddenly shimmered with soul power, and a surge of red energy erupted, forming a massive fire dragon. 

The fire dragon stretched hundreds of meters, emitting a terrifying roar. Wherever it passed, the temperature in space seemed to skyrocket, as if it could burn everything to ashes. 

This was Yang Xiong's left-arm soul bone skill: Fire Dragon Apocalypse. For dark and evil energy, Fire Dragon Apocalypse could be considered their bane. 

Especially after undergoing the Thunder God inheritance trial, Yang Xiong's left-arm soul bone had been tempered, fully integrating with his body. He could now unleash the true power of this divine bone. 

The colossal scythe formed by Bibi Dong's Wrath of the Death God was quickly entangled by the fire dragon. The dragon's extreme flame attribute began to refine the dark and evil energy, while its fiery breath directly charged toward Bibi Dong. 

Even though the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor possessed immense strength and a devastating devouring effect, it struggled to withstand the dragon's fiery breath. After all, this was an attack on the level of a Dragon King—far beyond what ordinary gods could resist. 

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and immediately transformed into the Death Spider Emperor, swiftly using her ninth soul skill: Undying Body. Her body seemed to turn into pure energy. 

Unfortunately, under Yang Xiong's Fire Dragon Apocalypse, Bibi Dong's energy form quickly melted, unable to withstand his full-powered strike. 

However, after Yang Xiong's Fire Dragon Apocalypse faded, the energy in the air rapidly gathered, gradually reforming Bibi Dong's figure. 

Bibi Dong's Undying Body was indeed formidable, but even so, she seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Black blood trickled from her mouth, and her once-powerful soul power had weakened significantly. 

Yang Xiong pressed his advantage, moving with blinding speed. His right hand, like a pair of sharp claws, lunged toward Bibi Dong's neck, as if intending to tear her apart. 

Bibi Dong was enraged. As a god, she couldn't believe she was being so utterly disregarded by Yang Xiong, who even dared to attempt killing her. This was an outright humiliation. 

Instantly, Bibi Dong transformed back into the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. Her tenth soul ring flashed, and her entire body turned pitch-black, her aura reaching its peak. Around her, a massive shield formed. 

This shield was boundless, intangible, and seemingly indestructible. It was Bibi Dong's true divine skill and her tenth soul ring ability: Forbidden Annihilation Barrier. 

Yang Xiong's right hand suddenly crackled with blood-red lightning, lunging toward Bibi Dong's neck. Even Bibi Dong's million-year soul skill, Forbidden Annihilation Barrier, couldn't block Yang Xiong's attack. 

But Bibi Dong was also exerting her full strength. Her hands, like giant pincers, desperately resisted Yang Xiong's assault. 

In an instant, Yang Xiong and Bibi Dong clashed countless times in the sky. Bibi Dong not only used Forbidden Annihilation Barrier but also unleashed her divine essence, fully resisting Yang Xiong. 

However, Yang Xiong gradually began to gain the upper hand. Though his soul power level was still somewhat lower than Bibi Dong's, the soul bones in both his hands were at the hundred-thousand-year level, rivaling divine artifacts. 

Fortunately, Bibi Dong's speed was exceptional. Especially with her pair of wings, her speed had reached the pinnacle of this world, rivaling even Qian Renxue. 

Soon, Yang Xiong and Bibi Dong had exchanged blows countless times. Even without using the Asura Demon Sword again, Yang Xiong began to subtly dominate the battle. 

Everyone at Jialing Pass was astounded. Bibi Dong, who had previously exuded such overwhelming confidence and ambition, was now completely suppressed by Yang Xiong. It was almost unbelievable. 

After exchanging blows with Bibi Dong for a while, Yang Xiong's figure suddenly shifted. He swiftly drew the Asura Demon Sword once more, resembling a blood-red longsword descending from the heavens. The entire Jialing Pass formation seemed on the verge of being split in half. 

Especially Bibi Dong—she felt as if she were standing on a judgment platform, facing retribution for her past sins or punishment from heaven itself. Her divine power seemed completely restrained, leaving her unable to escape.

This was Yang Xiong's inherited divine skill from the Asura God: Asura Judgment. It was a true divine skill, incomparably stronger than ordinary soul skills. 

The Asura God had bestowed Yang Xiong with nine sword techniques, each requiring the use of the Asura Demon Sword. Essentially, only inheritors of the Asura God could use them, as the Asura Nine Stances demanded an extraordinary mastery of murderous energy. However, their power was equally tremendous. 

Seeing Yang Xiong use Asura Judgment, even Bibi Dong's desperate resistance proved futile. 

At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared before Yang Xiong. Qian Renxue transformed into a colossal six-winged angel, wielding the Angelic Holy Sword with full force, blocking Bibi Dong's path. 

Under their combined full-power strikes, Yang Xiong retreated several meters, while Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were both forced back dozens of meters. 

Bibi Dong seemed displeased: "What are you doing here? Even if I die, I don't need your help." 

Qian Renxue sneered: "I'm not here to help you. If Yang Xiong kills you, he'll likely come after me next. I no longer have confidence in defeating him alone." 

Bibi Dong said: "Worthless. Both of you are inheritors of divine legacies. Especially you, Qian Renxue—you've ascended to godhood and perfectly inherited the Angel God's powers. Yet you can't even defeat a demigod." 

Qian Renxue ignored Bibi Dong and pointed her sword at Yang Xiong: "Yang Xiong, this is the moment for my Spirit Hall Empire to unify the world. If you leave now, I can guarantee the safety of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Body Sect. I'll even share the world with you. Otherwise, we'll fight to the death." 

Yang Xiong paid no heed to Qian Renxue's words. Instead, he glanced at Tang San in the distance. Earlier, while he was battling Bibi Dong, Tang San had been restraining Qian Renxue. Yet somehow, Qian Renxue had silently approached Bibi Dong's side. Something was clearly amiss. 

Moreover, Qian Renxue had already killed Tang Hao, making their feud irreconcilable. If Tang San chose not to participate now, it would be quite intriguing. 

Tang San glanced at Yang Xiong, then at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. His grip on the Rakshasa Demon Scythe tightened, his presence growing mysterious, even his expression appearing somewhat strange. 

Seeing Tang San's demeanor, Yang Xiong ignored him and turned his attention back to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. 

"Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, whether it's the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or the Body Sect, they've already paid too great a price. We cannot let this go so easily. Peace between us is impossible." 

"Besides, Bibi Dong, you dared to attack my two teachers earlier. You must bear the consequences. Today, neither of you will leave this place unscathed." 

Without further ado, Yang Xiong transformed into a blood-red figure, wielding the Asura Demon Sword, and swiftly attacked Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. 

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance. They transformed into golden and black figures, respectively, and swiftly countered Yang Xiong. 

In an instant, the sky was filled with three enormous lights colliding—golden, black, and blood-red—each refusing to yield. 

Yang Xiong wielded the Asura Demon Sword, his murderous intent fully unleashed. Under the Asura Domain, it seemed no one could escape. 

Each time Yang Xiong swung his sword, Qian Renxue transformed into a golden sun, wielding the Angelic Holy Sword to desperately resist him. 

In contrast, Bibi Dong was somewhat frustrated. She lacked a divine artifact and could only assist Qian Renxue by using her hands like the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's pincers. 

Meanwhile, Tang San stood afar, deep in thought. His expression revealed hesitation as he contemplated whether to join the battle. Especially when he looked at Yang Xiong, his eyes were filled with apprehension. 

Yang Xiong, not yet a god, already possessed such overwhelming strength. If he truly defeated Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, the entire Douluo world would be under his sole dominion. 

Even facing two opponents, Yang Xiong's momentum continued to rise. The blood-red lightning enveloping his body seemed impenetrable, whether against Qian Renxue's angelic divine power or Bibi Dong's death god aura. It was as if there was a fundamental difference in the hierarchy of their divine powers. 

As the battle grew increasingly intense, Yang Xiong gradually gained the upper hand. From afar, Tang San seemed to make a decision. His eyes turned crimson, filled with murderous intent, and he joined the fray, launching a full assault on Bibi Dong. 

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, who had barely managed to hold their ground together against Yang Xiong, were now instantly suppressed by both Yang Xiong and Tang San. 

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were filled with unwillingness, their eyes resolute. Suddenly, they unleashed their full strength. 

Qian Renxue's golden soul ring flashed, and a colossal angelic shadow appeared behind her. The Angelic Holy Sword in her hand, bathed in sunlight, radiated endless flames, resembling a golden sun. 

"Angel Descent!" 

At the same moment, Bibi Dong seemed to merge with the entire Jialing Pass formation. Black energy surged from the heavens, like countless demons possessing her, forming a gargantuan Soul Devouring Spider Emperor hundreds of meters wide. The entire space seemed compressed, like a world-ending beast. The spider's eight legs attacked Yang Xiong from different directions. 

It was clear that both intended to fight to the death, preparing to unleash their final, desperate attacks on Yang Xiong. 

Yang Xiong showed no hesitation. His eyes radiated an intensely ferocious aura. At this moment, his endless murderous intent and Asura Domain coalesced into a blood-red giant hundreds of meters tall. The giant wielded crimson lightning, as if the thunder carried the destructive power of the apocalypse itself. With its massive hands, it attacked Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue simultaneously. 

This was a new soul skill Yang Xiong had mastered after gaining control of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, fusing his first martial soul, Asura, with Heavenly Tribulation Lightning: Asura Heavenly Tribulation! 

Even the mighty six-winged angel and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, under Yang Xiong's colossal blood-red figure and the sky-filling crimson lightning, seemed like mere toys in his grasp. 

Yang Xiong gripped the crimson lightning in both hands. His right hand seized the six-winged angel, glowing like the sun, while his left hand grabbed the monstrous Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. 

The golden light and black mist, under the crimson lightning, seemed powerless to resist, shattered by the blood-red thunder. Ultimately, they were grasped firmly in Yang Xiong's colossal hands. 

In that instant, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue seemed to suffer catastrophic injuries. Their divine power was instantly shattered, and they were hurled from the sky like meteors, forcibly struck down by Yang Xiong. 

When the sky finally returned to calm, only Yang Xiong stood proudly aloft. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had been knocked away, leaving two craters over a hundred meters wide on the ground. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue lay within, coughing up blood, their once-formidable auras significantly weakened. 

They had lost this battle, and in their confrontation with Yang Xiong, they had been thoroughly defeated. The disparity in strength was immense. Even without ascending to godhood, Yang Xiong could effortlessly crush two hundred-level true gods and potentially kill them both. 

The battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Even Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi were astonished. While they had anticipated Yang Xiong's strength, they never imagined he was this powerful. 

The once-confident Spirit Hall Empire now seemed speechless, even despairing. Their most revered gods had been defeated, and that too while two gods fought against one man.
