"Buzz!"
As the words fell,
Bibi Dong's two arms underwent a drastic transformation, instantly turning into two enormous black scythes, wreathed in dense Death Qi, their blades glinting with a cold light that seemed to tear at the Soul!
The next second, the twin scythes crossed, then, carrying the Law of reaping life, they met the tip of the golden dragon spear head-on, with precise and unparalleled intersection!
"Clang—!!!!"
This collision was no longer an explosion of energy, but a head-on clash between ultimate sharpness and absolute power! The piercing clang of metal on metal almost tore eardrums!
However, the stalemate only lasted for an instant!
"Puff—!"
The Golden Giant's massive body trembled violently, as if it had suffered an invisible heavy blow. The light on its golden body flickered intensely, dimming and brightening erratically.
Finally, it uncontrollably opened its mouth and spewed out a large gush of golden blood!
The disparity in strength was revealed without a doubt at this moment!
Even with the full amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, even with Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er unleashing their powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, temporarily boosting their power to the Titled Douluo level,
Facing Bibi Dong, who was already at the Peak of Level 98, possessed twin spirits, complete Soul Bones, and incredibly rich combat experience, they still appeared far too naive!
What emanated from Bibi Dong's Death Scythes was an irresistible terrifying power, like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, as well as Death Qi potent enough to corrode the Soul!
At this moment, the golden dragon spear was firmly suppressed by the scythes, and the light around the Golden Giant's body was visibly dimming at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.
Defeat, seemed to be imminent?!
Just as the Golden Giant spewed blood, its golden light dissipated, and it was on the verge of complete collapse under Bibi Dong's Death Scythes, at this critical juncture,
"Roar—!"
"You stinky woman, if he dies, who will buy me bones to eat?"
"Take a claw from me!"
Accompanying the roar, a blood-red figure, full of violent and destructive aura, appeared behind Bibi Dong without warning, as if by Teleportation. It was the Vicious Beast, Red King!
Immediately after, its massive, dark-red scaled claw, carrying terrifying power that could tear space, slammed fiercely towards Bibi Dong's back without any flourish!
Before the claw wind even arrived, the sheer physical power and oppressive sensation
had already caused the space behind Bibi Dong to distort!
"What?!"
"I truly didn't expect you, beast, to be able to observe until now before making a move."
Sensing the terrifying attack behind her, potent enough to threaten her life, Bibi Dong's usually cold expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected this beast to be so well-hidden, launching a fatal sneak attack at this most crucial moment!
At this moment, she was caught between the golden dragon spear's stalemate in front and Red King's decisive strike from behind.
She seemed to have fallen into an unprecedented crisis!
However, in this flash of lightning, Bibi Dong displayed her terrifying adaptability as the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall and a Peak Douluo.
Her eighth black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, positioned at her feet, instantly lit up!
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Spider Emperor Clone!"
A flash of purple-black light on her body, and a Clone identical to Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor true form instantly separated from her main body!
This was precisely Bibi Dong's first Martial Soul's Eighth Spirit Ability, Spider Emperor Clone. The effect of Spider Emperor Clone: create a Clone using a Soul Skill, possessing one hundred percent of the main body's power, without intelligence, requiring control.
This one hundred percent power not only included physical strength but also Martial Soul Abilities. Of course, it only included the first seven Martial Soul Abilities, not the eighth and ninth Martial Soul Abilities.
This Clone also possessed powerful strength and aura.
The moment it appeared, it fiercely turned around, its eight spider legs drawn together, condensing immense Death Qi, and like a shield, it squarely met Red King's world-destroying giant claw!
"Boom—!!!!"
The collision between the Clone and Red King's giant claw triggered an even more earth-shattering explosion than before!
The violent energy turbulence directly blasted a massive deep pit into the ground.
Taking advantage of the Clone's momentary resistance, Bibi Dong's main body's Death Scythes suddenly erupted with an even stronger burst of Death Qi than before, her entire body surging with power.
With a loud clang, she actually forced the already injured Golden Giant, along with its spear, to fly back dozens of meters, temporarily breaking the stalemate.
And in this less than a second of respite,
Bibi Dong's purple-black light rapidly flowed and shifted!
Her ugly and massive Death Spider Emperor true form, in just one second, rapidly dissipated like a phantom, replaced by an even more eerie, more condensed spider phantom, entirely dark green and exuding an aura of Soul devouring.
This was her second Martial Soul—the Soul Eating Spider Emperor!
In the blink of an eye, she completed the instant switch of her twin spirits!
"It's over, kid!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Eternal Scar!"
As the switch completed, Bibi Dong's lips curved into a cold sneer. At the same time, her blood-red, hundred-thousand-year sixth spirit ring beneath her feet also lit up.
Bibi Dong's two emerald-like giant scythes simultaneously lifted, then slashed a massive green cross-shaped light wave diagonally towards the already defeated Golden Giant.
Immediately, a dark-green energy blade, seemingly condensed from the purest death resentment, silently tore through space. Its speed surpassed visual capture, carrying a terrifying Law of power that ignored physical defense and directly acted upon the Origin of life, slashing fiercely towards its target!
This was precisely one of Bibi Dong's most overbearing single-target attack abilities, Eternal Scar!
Physical defense is ineffective, energy defense is reduced by fifty percent. Once hit, the wound will spread infinitely, only able to be resisted by Soul Power until Soul Power is completely exhausted and one dies. If hit by this move, the wound will not heal, and life force will continuously drain until death!
Gazing at the dark-green energy blade—Eternal Scar—that tore through space, carrying an aura of life annihilation and shooting towards him, Tang Chuan's pupils suddenly constricted to the extreme!
"Damn it, this strike seems unavoidable?"
"It's impossible to withstand it head-on, and it's very likely that both of us will be severely injured."
In his perception, the power of the death Law contained in this strike far exceeded imagination. Even if he and Xiao Rui'er maintained their Martial Soul Fusion Skill state at this moment, they would absolutely not be able to resist it!
The consequence of taking it head-on would inevitably be the forced disintegration of the Fusion Skill, both of them suffering severe injuries, and possibly even dying from the curse power of Eternal Scar directly eroding their life Origin!
To evade?
After dispelling the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he might be able to dodge by using Teleportation.
But if that were the case, what about Xiao Rui'er?
In a flash of lightning, an incredibly insane, yet the only possible thought to seize a sliver of hope in this desperate situation, flashed through Tang Chuan's mind!
"Damn it, Bibi Dong, I'll fight you to the death."
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Chuan's mind moved, and the massive Golden Giant instantly disintegrated, its golden light rapidly scattering, transforming back into the figures of Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er.
At this moment, Xiao Rui'er's face was pale, her Soul Power greatly depleted, making her almost unable to stand steadily.
The moment Tang Chuan's figure appeared, he flashed without hesitation. Not only did he not retreat, but he actively met the incoming Eternal Scar energy blade!
At this moment, his eyes gleamed with determination, and his blood-red, hundred-thousand-year sixth spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up!
At the same time, a strong red light also erupted from his right arm!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Void!"
"Hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone Skill, Paragon Golden Body!"
The two great life-saving divine skills of a hundred thousand years were activated simultaneously!
In an instant, Tang Chuan's entire body directly transformed into a dazzling, golden figure, as if cast from gold, like the strongest barrier in the world! Paragon Golden Body, activated!
"Boom!!!"
The next second.
The dark-green Eternal Scar energy blade fiercely struck the golden figure!
Immediately, a piercing sound of energy friction arose, and sparks flew wildly!
The emerald-green energy blade, which was capable of ignoring defense and eroding the Origin, was actually temporarily blocked by the absolute defensive power of the Paragon Golden Body!
However, how terrifying was Bibi Dong's hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill, Eternal Scar?
The absolute defense of the Paragon Golden Body could only last for three seconds!
As soon as three seconds passed, the golden light suddenly dimmed, and the Golden Body shattered!
And at the very instant the Golden Body shattered, Tang Chuan's body suddenly became transparent and ethereal, as if he had turned into a red phantom without a physical form!
Hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill—Void, activated!
The next second, the dark-green energy blade, now unobstructed, actually passed directly through Tang Chuan's etherealized body!
"Puff—!"
Although he immune to physical attacks and energy impacts due to Void, a portion of the extreme Death Qi and Soul-level curse power attached to Eternal Scar still penetrated the ethereal barrier, fiercely striking Tang Chuan's body and Soul!
His entire being felt as if struck by lightning, Tang Chuan's etherealized body instantly solidified, his face ashen, and a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments gushed out, drawing a tragic bloody line in the air.
Immediately after, the light in his eyes rapidly dimmed, and he plummeted from the air like a broken puppet, crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
At this moment, he had completely lost consciousness, his life or death unknown!
"Tang Chuan!!!"
Behind him, Xiao Rui'er's heartbreaking cry immediately rang out.
Xiao Rui'er hadn't expected Tang Chuan to use himself as a shield to protect her.
Then, by skillfully linking two great divine skills, he managed to take Bibi Dong's fatal blow, but the cost was utterly tragic!
Gazing at the blood mixed with organ fragments that Tang Chuan spewed, Xiao Rui'er felt as if her own heart was also fiercely crushed at that moment, stopping its beat.
Her originally brilliant golden eyes,
were now covered in a bloody red, tears mixed with surging hatred pouring out.
Immediately after, Xiao Rui'er, disregarding her own exhaustion and danger, transformed into a golden streak of light and rushed recklessly to Tang Chuan's front, shielding him from Bibi Dong with her slender yet resolute body.
"If you want to kill him, you'll have to step over my corpse first!" She clutched the golden dragon spear tightly, its tip trembling as it pointed at Bibi Dong. Although her Soul Power was almost depleted, and her body trembled slightly from extreme grief and anger, there was no fear in her.
"What a pair of desperate lovers!"
Gazing at Xiao Rui'er's moth-to-a-flame act, Bibi Dong's lips curved into a cold and cruel arc. The phantom of the Soul Eating Spider Emperor swayed continuously behind her as she sneered,
"Since you're so eager to die,"
"then I shall grant your wish. Go down and accompany him."
With that, she slowly raised her palm, and dark-purple Soul Power began to condense once more.
Bibi Dong believed that for Xiao Rui'er, who was already exhausted and mentally distraught, she only needed a casual strike to completely obliterate her.
However, just as the energy at her fingertips was about to erupt,
"Boom—!!!!"
Between heaven and earth, the colors suddenly changed without warning!
The originally somewhat clear sky was instantly covered by endless, heavy dark clouds. The rolling clouds were like ink pouring down, making it hard to breathe!
Streaks of ghastly white lightning, like madly dancing silver snakes, darted wildly through the clouds, illuminating the dim earth in flickering light and shadow!
Deafening thunder rolled in, as if ancient Vicious Beasts were roaring above the clouds!
This was not a natural weather change; the dark clouds contained a terrifying Dragon's might, ancient, majestic, and filled with an extreme sense of oppression, surpassing all living beings!
This oppressive power was so immense that it far exceeded Red King's, even causing Bibi Dong to feel a tremor in her heart!
Gazing at the scene before her, Bibi Dong's action of condensing Soul Power abruptly paused. She suddenly looked up, staring at the lightning-filled sky, which seemed as if it would collapse, her expression becoming incredibly solemn for the first time, even carrying a hint of disbelief, and said:
"This is...?!"
Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, from the deepest part of the churning dark clouds, an unimaginably massive black Dragon head slowly emerged.
Its golden-flame-burning Dragon eyes, like two giant stars, indifferently overlooked the tiny beings below.
