Bibi Dong lightly brushed away the dust on her sleeve.
"But it seems that you are a little behind some information…who told you that I only possess one martial soul?"
Tang Chen's pupils shrank violently. For a brief moment, an absurd possibility flashed through his mind.
Before he could process the thought completely, Bibi Dong's lips curled upward.
"You finally realized it?"
Tang Chen's expression changed drastically.
"That's impossible!"
The moment his voice fell, Bibi Dong disappeared.
BOOM!
The ground beneath her exploded instantly.
Her speed had increased by an entirely different level compared to before. Purple afterimages streaked across the battlefield like shattered phantoms.
Tang Chen barely raised the Asura Sword before Bibi Dong appeared directly before him.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Everlasting Wound."
The purple slash erupted at point-blank range.
Tang Chen hurriedly poured divine power into the Asura Sword to block.
CRAAASH—!
Tang Chen's expression distorted as an overwhelming force burst through his defense. The violent collision sent him flying like a cannonball across the mountains.
Several peaks shattered apart one after another as his body crashed through them.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Rocks collapsed endlessly.
Finally, Tang Chen smashed into a towering mountain thousands of meters away, causing the entire cliff face to cave inward.
Dust filled the sky.
Bibi Dong slowly turned her head, the cheering of the Clear Sky Clan were unbearably irritating to her ears.
Her eyes narrowed slightly and a cold smile appeared on her face.
"Third Soul Skill: Devil Spider Summoning."
Dark purple light spread across the ground like corrupted swamp water.
The countless deaths and residual energies lingering around the mountains were rapidly absorbed into the ground. Soon, strange cracking sounds began echoing everywhere.
Crack… Crack… Crack…
The expressions of the Clear Sky Clan members changed.
Dark green poisonous spiders, each nearly half a meter wide, crawled out from beneath the earth one after another.
Their scarlet compound eyes glowed with malice while venom dripped continuously from their fangs, corroding the rocks wherever it landed.
More horrifying was the aura they emitted. Every single spider possessed strength comparable to a Level 91 Titled Douluo.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
"Impossible!"
"There are too many!"
All the Clear Sky Clan Members instantly turned into panic.
Under Bibi Dong's command, the poisonous spiders surged toward the Clear Sky Clan like a tide.
SKREEEE—!
The horrifying screeches echoed across the mountains.
A Clear Sky Clan elder smashed one spider apart with his hammer, only for the poisonous blood exploding from its corpse to melt half his arm instantly.
Another clan member was dragged down by several spiders before disappearing beneath the swarm amidst miserable screams.
"Aaahhhh!"
"Save me!"
"Retreat!"
The entire ancestral land descended into chaos. Even Tang Hao and Tang Xiao who had defeated several spiders had ugly expressions.
They could clearly sense that these summoned creatures were not ordinary soul skill creations.
Bibi Dong did not spare the struggling members of the Clear Sky Clan another glance.
Her figure turned into a streak of purple light as she flew directly toward Tang Chen.
The mountain he had crashed into was already riddled with cracks. Broken rocks continued to tumble downward while scarlet slaughter aura leaked from within the rubble.
Tang Chen had barely pushed himself out from the collapsed cliff when he sensed a terrifying pressure descending again.
He looked up and Bibi Dong was already standing before him.
The hem of her papal robe fluttered gently in the wind while seven purple divine rings revolved behind her. Her beautiful face carried a faint smile, yet that smile only made her appear more dangerous.
She tilted her head slightly.
"Is your anger hurting you?"
Tang Chen's expression darkened.
The moment rage surfaced within his heart, a sharp pain spread throughout his body. Even the divine power circulating inside him became unstable, as though some invisible force was feeding upon his emotions.
Unable to suppress it any longer, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Pfft!
The crimson blood splashed across the shattered rocks.
Tang Chen wiped the corner of his mouth and stared coldly at Bibi Dong.
"What insidious thing did you do to me?"
Bibi Dong answered almost subconsciously.
"The angrier you become…"
Her lips curved upward slightly.
"…the more hurt you will be."
Far above the battlefield, hidden beyond the perception of mortals and gods alike, two vast purple eyes watched everything silently.
Tang Chen's gaze sharpened.
"You are truly insidious."
However, the voice that came from him this time was no longer his own.
The tone had become deeper, calmer, and incomparably ancient. It carried a natural authority that made even the surrounding seem to tremble faintly.
"Even the Evil God and Sin God of the Divine Realm rarely resort to such underhanded methods."
The moment she heard that voice, Bibi Dong's pupils contracted.
The aura before her had changed completely.
Tang Chen still stood there physically, yet the pressure emanating from him was now vastly different from before. It felt ancient, boundless, and terrifyingly oppressive.
Even the scarlet slaughter aura around him became more orderly, as though controlled by a supreme ruler.
Bibi Dong immediately became vigilant.
"Who are you?"
The "Tang Chen" before her slowly raised his head.
His eyes no longer contained the domineering arrogance of the Clear Sky Clan leader. Instead, they were cold and indifferent, like a god looking down upon mortals.
"I…"
A scarlet divine light flickered within his pupils.
"…am the Asura God King."
The surrounding air instantly became heavy.
"The Law Enforcer of the Divine Realm."

(AN: If those earlier timeline chapters were made into real small arcs there would have been subtle hints as Qian Renxue shadow in them. Well that would have really stretched the story longer.
Well now the time has come the exact time when Asura God was holding Eros God's trial and it is the 8th day in divine realm and 8th year after Qian Renxue left Douluo Continent
So what do you guys think happened that made an 8th divine ring appear simultaneously on Angel and Rakshasa Godhood of Qian Renxue?)
