This was the Power of Destruction!
At this moment—
Within Bibi Dong's spiritual world, Su Linfeng clearly felt this aura. It was one of the three mighty forces hidden inside her Killing God Domain.
The instant the violet energy coiled around his body, his spiritual power was dragged forcefully into Bibi Dong's sea of consciousness, into her Killing God Domain.
He found himself before the soul-bound Bibi Dong.
"This isn't my Martial Spirit's aura."
Bibi Dong's voice trembled as she gazed at the roiling violet force in the Killing God Domain. She was certain—it wasn't from her Death Spider Emperor Martial Spirit. It was something far more terrifying, even beyond the evil aura.
No matter how she struggled, she could not stop it from devouring Su Linfeng.
What could she do?!
"Don't worry, Elder Sister."
Su Linfeng drew in a deep breath, sitting cross-legged across from her. "Remember when I told you—besides the evil aura, there are three even stronger presences within your Killing God Domain? This is one of them.
Now it has chosen me.
Maybe… this is an opportunity."
Divine aura?
Bibi Dong shivered, her mind shaken.
It had actually chosen a ten-thousand-year transformed soul beast?
Other than envy, she didn't know whether to rejoice or to fear.
Rejoice that such a mighty divine aura had chosen Su Linfeng—yet also fear, for she could feel his soul trembling. He was no longer a hundred-thousand-year complete form, but merely a rank-21 Grand Soulmaster.
And she knew well—power always comes with a price.
Now, no one could help Su Linfeng.
—Hummm!
The next instant, Su Linfeng's Golden Flame Domain erupted on its own.
It tangled with the violet aura surrounding him, the two energies colliding and merging, gradually forming a sphere of gold and violet light.
It swallowed Su Linfeng whole.
He jolted awake—
Finding himself in a violet world.
Above, the sky was dim and heavy.
Beneath, the earth quaked.
The seas were dry.
The whole world lay in desolation and death.
Though his soul power was weak, his spiritual perception had never been sharper.
He could feel fire and destruction colliding within him, his body aflame, his spirit enduring agony more intense than ever before.
It was torture beyond death!
"Little brat!"
Though bound, Bibi Dong's spirit senses remained intact. She sat at the center of her spiritual sea, gazing anxiously at the golden-violet sphere rising high. Her heart pounded in her throat.
"You must not fail—hold on!"
Not for her own sake—
But because she saw something terrifying.
Behind that glowing sphere, a phantom appeared.
A scepter—entirely violet, its head forked, inlaid with a dark amethyst. Its base split as well, embedded with another violet gem.
What was that?!
Its majesty stretched skyward, reaching the heavens, descending to the deepest abyss. Boundless, towering—its presence filled Bibi Dong's entire spiritual world.
Even behind her, the Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eating Spider Emperor—two Martial Spirit avatars—were but specks before this phantom of the Scepter of Destruction.
As the destructive aura surged in—
Su Linfeng no longer dared to hesitate.
Enduring the unbearable tearing of his soul, he forced his spiritual power to drive his domain, compressing the destructive energy.
The violent clash of energies only accelerated. He felt heat surging uncontrollably, a blazing torrent searing his body.
Su Linfeng feared no flame—
But flames imbued with destruction forced even him back.
Yet he hadn't realized—these two overwhelming forces were already beginning to forcibly remake his body.
The dark destruction energy had no mind of its own, but it was utterly beyond the control of his meager spirit power.
As the energy storm raged, his body felt on the verge of shattering. The agony nearly broke his mind.
Over and over, he struggled to suppress the destructive surges, never daring to relax.
Inside the light sphere—
His brows knotted, lips pressed tight, body convulsing without pause. Blood seeped from all seven orifices. The torment he bore was unimaginable.
But with each suppression, his mastery over the Golden Flame Domain deepened.
From deadlock to gradual harmony—their powers intertwined. The Golden Flame Domain began to glow with streaks of violet.
Outside, three days had passed.
Now it was the early hours of the fourth night.
Bibi Dong's gaze never left the glowing sphere, her heart lodged in her throat.
As for Su Linfeng—
He now faced the greatest trial: fusing the destructive energy.
With his rank-21 soul power, it was a near impossibility. Even forcing that power into his soul rings and bones was explosive and agonizing.
Finally—
He tried resisting head-on.
Bit by bit, he devoured the energy forced into his first soul ring.
With that, the second ring resonated, activating on its own without conscious effort.
Shielded by the Golden Flame Domain, the burden eased. Each soul ring absorbed the overflow from the last, cycling the energy round and round.
The gold-violet fusion spread through the sphere, most of it complete—only time remained.
The pain gradually lessened.
At last, under his spiritual strength and unyielding will, the destructive power yielded. His Martial Spirit, soul bones, and rings absorbed it in torrents. Part of it even converted into pure soul power, flowing through his body.
The bleeding stopped.
His furrowed brow relaxed. A faint golden-violet light began to radiate from within.
Inside the sphere—
Su Linfeng's face glowed with vitality, his hair regrown, his skin crystalline. His whole being brimmed with power.
Bibi Dong, still cross-legged within her spirit sea, never moved, never looked away.
"SCREEEEE!!!"
Suddenly—a piercing phoenix-like cry split her world.
The golden-violet sphere burst apart.
A colossal black Three-Legged Golden Crow soared skyward, bearing boundless destructive force that swept through her entire spiritual world.
The phantom scepter shattered into destruction energy, merging into the Golden Crow's ascent.
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!!!
In the sky, violet thunder roared, mingling with blazing golden flames.
Thunder and fire fused.
Overload. Explosion. Endless destruction.
The next moment, thunder of annihilation and golden skyflame engulfed Bibi Dong's entire spiritual world.
"Little brat! Stop!"
Only as the fire consumed her did Bibi Dong recover from her shock, shouting upward:
This is MY spiritual world!
