Chapter 357: Defeating the Twin Gods (Two Chapters in One)
Facing Bibi Dong's questioning, Yang Xiong's face appeared extremely calm, a hint of disdain showing in his eyes.
"Killing and fighting are too boring. Weren't you guys at the front line? You've already killed almost everyone. If I suppress you now, wouldn't I be the strongest in this world? Won't everything from now on be up to me?"
Bibi Dong showed a trace of contempt in her eyes, "Yang Xiong, although you luckily defeated Qian Renxue last time, I am completely different from Qian Renxue. I truly killed my way out of the Slaughter City."
As Bibi Dong's words fell, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor immediately displayed five black, two red, two black, and one golden soul ring. Especially that final golden soul ring, even everyone on the entire Jialing Pass felt an immense pressure; even their souls seemed to be suppressed. This was the true power of a million-year soul ring.
Yang Xiong simply gave a cold hum. His entire body instantly turned a blood-red color, covered in blood-red lightning, while simultaneously revealing five black and four red soul rings.
Although he had one less soul ring than Bibi Dong, judging by the aura, he was not the least bit weaker than her.
Bibi Dong unleashed her Soul Devouring Domain. This was the unique domain of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor after becoming a god. Not only did it exude extremely dark and evil auras, but this aura also possessed a terrifying devouring ability; it could even devour divine power.
But Yang Xiong showed no weakness, exuding a blood-red aura from his body. This was precisely the Asura Domain.
The entire sky was instantly split into two halves by the domains of Yang Xiong and Bibi Dong. They seemingly gave no ground to each other, making it completely impossible to determine a winner.
Yang Xiong coldly snorted, "Bibi Dong, you spent so much effort to become a god, yet you only have this bit of strength. You've truly disappointed me."
Bibi Dong shouted angrily, "Yang Xiong, you are courting death!"
The pair of large pincers of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor instantly began to flash with light. Immediately after, the pincers crossed and slashed, instantly emitting a crossed green light wave. This light wave seemed capable of tearing the entire space apart.
This was Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's sixth soul skill: Eternal Wounds. Originally, this move was Bibi Dong's strongest single-target attack skill.
Now that Bibi Dong had become a god, the power of this move seemed to have grown even stronger. Even Tang San and Qian Renxue could feel a massive threat from it.
Yang Xiong merely gave a cold snort, "Bibi Dong, just now you relied on your high soul power cultivation to bully my two masters. Now I will let you know that the Seven Kill Sword technique can actually kill you."
Yang Xiong held the scabbard in his left hand and the sword hilt in his right, forcefully pulling it out. The Asura Demon Sword was instantly unsheathed.
In just an instant, drawing the sword, unsheathing it, swinging it, and sheathing it again was done in one smooth motion. Several blood-red sword auras shot up into the sky and quickly formed a blood-red character for "Kill".
This was also the Seven Kill Sword technique. In terms of sword dao, it might not be as exquisite as the Sword Douluo's, but in terms of killing aura and mastery of the domain, it was countless times stronger than the Sword Douluo.
Especially Yang Xiong's Seven Kill Sword technique, which had already integrated the Asura Domain into the sword aura, combined with the fact that this was the fiercest and most terrifying Asura Demon Sword in the world.
When Yang Xiong used the Seven Kill Sword technique, the entire "Kill" character was blood-red, covered in blood-red lightning. When this move was executed, heaven and earth practically began to change color, and even space seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Yang Xiong's blood-red Seven Kill Sword aura collided with Bibi Dong's Eternal Wounds. The entire world seemed to tremble at this instant.
Bibi Dong's Eternal Wounds, which originally ignored any defense, had its terrifying aura gradually worn down and eventually turned into nothingness after colliding with Yang Xiong's Seven Kill Sword technique.
Even Bibi Dong seemed to take a heavy hit, her entire body being sent flying hundreds of meters. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She never expected her powerful attack to be neutralized so easily, and she was even faintly at a disadvantage.
In contrast, Yang Xiong appeared somewhat calm and breezy throughout the entire process, as if he completely looked down on Bibi Dong.
In the distance, the Sword Douluo stared fixedly at every single one of Yang Xiong's movements, revealing disbelief in his eyes.
"This Little Xiong, to think the Seven Kill Sword technique has already been utilized to this realm. It seems even I, as a teacher, am a bit ashamed."
Bibi Dong seemed somewhat humiliated and furious, "Yang Xiong, you've gone too far. You're just relying on a divine artifact. Even without a divine artifact, I will absolutely not lose to you."
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, all her power seemed to rapidly condense onto the giant pincers of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. The massive Soul Devouring Spider Emperor swung its giant pincers with all its might, condensing a pitch-black scythe in the sky. The scythe was over a hundred meters long, like a massive blade of light, and also like an evil spirit from hell.
This was Bibi Dong's full-strength strike, having pushed her power to the absolute limit. Its name was Wrath of the Death God.
But Yang Xiong was not the least bit afraid. Soul power instantly flashed on his left arm, and a red aura shot up into the sky, forming a massive fire dragon.
This fire dragon was hundreds of meters long and let out a terrifying dragon roar. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the temperature in the space seemed to rise sharply, as if it could burn everything to ashes.
This was Yang Xiong's left arm soul bone skill: World-Destroying Fire Dragon. Compared to the dark and evil auras, at the very least, the World-Destroying Fire Dragon could be said to be the nemesis of all of this.
Especially after passing the Thunder God inheritance trials, the left arm soul bone had been tempered and fully integrated with his body. Yang Xiong could now truly unleash the power of this divine bone.
The massive scythe formed by Bibi Dong's full-strength Wrath of the Death God was actually quickly entangled by the fire dragon. Furthermore, the fire dragon's ultimate fire attribute gradually refined this dark and evil aura. At the same time, the fire dragon breathed out, charging forcefully straight at Bibi Dong.
Even though Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor was incredibly powerful and possessed an ultimate devouring effect, it was still very hard to resist when facing this fire dragon's breath. This was, after all, a Dragon King-level attack, far beyond what an ordinary god could withstand.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and immediately switched to the Death Spider Emperor. She swiftly used her ninth soul skill: Immortal Body. Her entire body seemed to transform into a state of energy in that instant.
Unfortunately, under Yang Xiong's World-Destroying Fire Dragon move, the energy crystals Bibi Dong had turned into actually melted rapidly, seemingly completely unable to bear this full-strength strike from Yang Xiong.
However, after Yang Xiong's World-Destroying Fire Dragon move vanished, the energy in the air quickly gathered together and gradually formed Bibi Dong's figure once again.
Bibi Dong's Immortal Body was indeed formidable. Unfortunately, facing Yang Xiong's attack, it seemed she still suffered a heavy blow. Black blood actually spewed from her mouth, and the soul power on her body was no longer as robust as before.
Yang Xiong did not let up when he had the upper hand. His figure was incredibly fast. His right hand formed into sharp claws, forcefully grabbing at Bibi Dong's neck, as if wanting to tear her to pieces.
Bibi Dong was furious. As a god, she never expected to be so ignored by Yang Xiong, nor did she expect Yang Xiong to actually try and kill her. This was simply a humiliation to her.
Bibi Dong instantly switched to the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. Specifically, that tenth soul ring flashed at this moment, and her entire body seemed to turn black in that instant. The aura all over her body was raised to the extreme, while a massive shield formed around her.
This shield seemed boundless, formless, and indestructible. This was Bibi Dong's true divine skill, and also the first skill of Bibi Dong's tenth soul ring: Barrier of Annihilation.
However, Yang Xiong's right hand was suddenly entwined with blood-red lightning, forcefully grabbing at Bibi Dong's neck. Even Bibi Dong's million-year soul skill, Barrier of Annihilation, could not block Yang Xiong's attack.
But Bibi Dong had also used all her strength at this moment. Her hands, like a pair of giant pincers, fully resisted Yang Xiong's attack.
In just a split second, Yang Xiong and Bibi Dong had already exchanged countless blows in the sky. Bibi Dong not only used the Barrier of Annihilation but also used her divine origin power to fully contend with Yang Xiong.
Comparatively, however, Yang Xiong seemed to gradually gain the upper hand. In terms of strength, even though Yang Xiong's soul power level still had a certain gap compared to Bibi Dong's, the soul bones on both of Yang Xiong's arms had already reached the hundred-thousand-year level, comparable to divine artifacts.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong was relatively fast. Especially with the pair of wings on her back, her speed had reached the world's pinnacle, not inferior even to Qian Renxue.
Soon, Yang Xiong and Bibi Dong had exchanged countless blows. Under the circumstances where Yang Xiong hadn't used the Asura Demon Sword again, he also began to faintly hold the upper hand.
The entire Jialing Pass was in an uproar. The originally imposing Bibi Dong, the domineering Bibi Dong who wanted to annihilate everyone, was actually completely suppressed by Yang Xiong right now. It was simply unbelievable.
After Yang Xiong and Bibi Dong fought for a while, his figure suddenly shifted. The Asura Demon Sword was instantly unsheathed. It was like a blood-red longsword descending from the sky, seemingly about to cleave the entire Jialing Pass array in half.
Bibi Dong, in particular, felt in that instant as if she were on a judgment stand, as if it were a judgment of her past sins, or a punishment from heaven and earth itself. Her divine power seemed to be sealed in that instant, completely unable to break free.
This was the inheritance divine skill Yang Xiong obtained from the Asura God: Asura Judgment. It was a true divine skill, countless times stronger than ordinary soul skills.
Back then, the Asura God had passed down nine sword techniques to Yang Xiong. Each move required the use of the Asura Demon Sword to be executed, and basically only an Asura God inheritor could use them, because these nine Asura forms demanded too high a requirement for killing intent, but their power was equally immense.
Seeing Yang Xiong use Asura Judgment, even if Bibi Dong used all her strength to resist, it was completely to no avail.
Right at this moment, a golden light instantly appeared in front of Yang Xiong. Qian Renxue transformed into a massive six-winged angel, wielding the Angel Sacred Sword for a full-strength strike, forcefully blocking in front of Bibi Dong.
Under the full-strength strike of the two, Yang Xiong retreated a few meters. In contrast, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong retreated dozens of meters simultaneously.
Bibi Dong seemed somewhat displeased, "What are you doing here? Even if I die, I don't need your help."
Qian Renxue gave a cold snort, "I am not here to help you. If Yang Xiong kills you, I fear he will target me next. I no longer have the confidence to defeat him alone."
Bibi Dong said, "Useless trash. You are both god inheritors. Especially you, who have already become a god and perfectly inherited the Angel God, yet you are still not a match for a demigod."
Qian Renxue ignored Bibi Dong and instead pointed her sword at Yang Xiong, "Yang Xiong, this is the moment my Spirit Empire unifies the world. If you leave now, I can make the call to spare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Body Sect, and can even share the world with you. Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death between us."
Yang Xiong ignored Qian Renxue's words and instead turned his head to glance at Tang San in the distance. Originally, he was fighting Bibi Dong while Tang San was pinning down Qian Renxue, yet Tang San actually let Qian Renxue arrive beside Bibi Dong silently. There was definitely a problem here.
Furthermore, Qian Renxue had already killed Tang Hao, and the two sides were in a blood feud. If Tang San didn't want to participate up until now, that would be rather interesting.
Tang San glanced at Yang Xiong at this moment, then looked at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. The Rakshasa Demon Scythe in his hand seemed to be gripped tighter. His entire aura was mysterious and unpredictable, and even his facial expression seemed somewhat eerie.
Seeing Tang San in this state, Yang Xiong ignored him and looked at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue again.
"Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, whether it's my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan or the Body Sect, we have already paid too great a price. This absolutely cannot be let go so easily. There is no possibility of peace between us."
"Moreover, Bibi Dong, since you dared to attack my two teachers just now, you must bear the consequences. Don't even think about leaving this place safely today."
After speaking, Yang Xiong didn't care about anything else. He transformed into a blood-red figure, wielding the Asura Demon Sword, and swiftly attacked Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue looked at each other. The two transformed into a golden and a black figure respectively, flying up to meet him.
In just an instant, the sky was like three massive beams of light colliding—gold, black, and blood-red. They refused to give way to each other.
With the Asura Demon Sword in hand, Yang Xiong's killing intent was now fully exposed. Under the Asura Domain, it seemed no one could escape.
Every time Yang Xiong swung his sword, Qian Renxue also transformed into a golden sun, wielding the Angel Sacred Sword to forcefully contend with him.
In comparison, Bibi Dong was a bit frustrated. She didn't have any inherited divine artifact; her hands were just like the pair of large pincers of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, assisting Qian Renxue in fighting Yang Xiong from the side.
Meanwhile, Tang San observed from a distance, seemingly pondering something. A trace of conflict showed on his face, unsure whether he should continue joining the battle. Especially when Tang San looked at Yang Xiong, his eyes were full of apprehension.
Yang Xiong already had such strength without even becoming a god. If Yang Xiong truly defeated Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, the entire Douluo world would probably be dictated by Yang Xiong alone.
Even fighting one against two, Yang Xiong's aura began to climb steadily. Especially the blood-red lightning covering his body, neither Qian Renxue's Angel divine power nor Bibi Dong's Death God aura could truly penetrate it, as if there was a hierarchical difference among these divine powers.
Seeing the battle becoming more and more intense, and with Yang Xiong gradually gaining the advantage, Tang San in the distance seemed to make some sort of decision. His eyes turned red, as if filled with killing intent, and he also joined the battlefield, launching a full-force attack on Bibi Dong.
Originally, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong needed their combined strength to barely contend with Yang Xiong. Now, they seemed to be suppressed by both Yang Xiong and Tang San in an instant.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue seemed filled with unwillingness. Resolute looks appeared in their eyes as they suddenly pushed their strength to the extreme.
Qian Renxue's golden soul ring flashed, and a massive angel phantom instantly appeared behind her. Especially the Angel Sacred Sword in her hand, which was now filled with endless flames under the sunlight, like a golden sun.
"Angel Descent!"
At that same moment, Bibi Dong seemed to merge with the entire Jialing Pass array. A black aura shot up to the sky like countless possessing evil spirits, instantly forming a massive Soul Devouring Spider Emperor hundreds of meters wide and long. The entire space seemed to be compressed. Like an unparalleled fierce beast, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's eight spider legs attacked Yang Xiong from different directions.
Judging from the current situation, these two were preparing for a desperate battle, ready to risk their lives in a final strike against Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate either. An incredibly fierce aura appeared in his eyes. Boundless killing intent and the Asura Domain suddenly formed a blood-red giant hundreds of meters tall in that instant. The giant gripped blood-red lightning, as if this lightning contained the divine might to destroy the world. A pair of massive hands forcefully attacked Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue respectively.
This was a new soul skill Yang Xiong mastered after acquiring the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and fusing it with his first martial soul, Asura: Asura Heavenly Tribulation!
Even the powerful Six-Winged Angel and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor were like things in the palm of a hand under Yang Xiong's massive blood-red figure and the sky full of blood-red lightning.
Yang Xiong gripped the blood-red lightning with both hands. His right hand forcefully grabbed the sun-like Six-Winged Angel, while his left hand forcefully grabbed the beast-like Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
Under the blood-red lightning, the golden light and the black aura seemed completely unable to block it. They were both pierced by the blood-red lightning and eventually caught in the palms of a pair of heaven-supporting giant hands.
In that instant, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue felt as if they suffered a heavy blow. The divine power around their bodies was instantly shattered, and both of them were forcefully struck down from the sky by Yang Xiong like shooting stars.
When the sky returned to calm again, only Yang Xiong stood proudly in the sky. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had already been blasted away by Yang Xiong, leaving two craters over a hundred meters wide on the ground. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue within the craters spat blood, and their originally formidable auras had weakened considerably.
They lost this battle, and they lost thoroughly in the fight against Yang Xiong. It could even be said the gap in strength was immense. Even without becoming a god, Yang Xiong could easily defeat two level-one-hundred true gods, and could even kill them.
The entire battlefield was instantly plunged into a dead silence. Even the Sword and Bone Douluos, Ning Fengzhi, and the others felt it was unbelievable at this moment. They could guess Yang Xiong was powerful, but they never expected Yang Xiong to be powerful to this extent.
The Spirit Empire side, originally full of momentum, all seemed utterly speechless and even filled with despair at this moment. The gods they worshipped the most actually lost, and lost even when it was two gods fighting against one.
