Spider Words

The intense pain that kept emanating from his soul caused Su Cheng's mind to begin to become somewhat blurred.

The Innate Power was originally able to be used as freely as an arm and fingers began to gradually become sluggish and sluggish.

At this point, some of the problems with Innate Power were actually exposed.

Even if it is twisted into a perfect force, it is ultimately just a state enhancement and cannot be easily driven by instinct like physical or Soul Power.

As his soul is gradually burned and consumed, Su Cheng's control over his power is slipping further.

It was already extremely difficult to stay awake, let alone have the energy to deal with the chaotic and terrible state of my body.

Just as he was becoming increasingly dazed and confused, a cool sensation suddenly entered the depths of his soul.

That was extremely high quality and exceptionally pure primordial energy of the soul.

Unlike ordinary Soul Power that can be restored and regenerated, the essence of the soul, like the level of Soul Master, needs to be accumulated slowly over time to increase. For anyone, every bit used will diminish their strength.

Moreover, if the losses are too great, it could even endanger lives.

At the very last moment of the Simulated World, Su Cheng himself burned his soul essence in a similar way in order to break through the final bottleneck.

After the battle, he also used his soul's primordial energy to wash away a large amount of evil thoughts deep within Bibi Dong's Second Martial Soul, strengthening her soul's foundation, and Reshaping Bo Saixi's Sea God Martial Soul.

However, Su Cheng, who was close to unconsciousness at this moment, obviously had neither the time nor the energy to think about these things.

The next moment, they instinctively began to entangle their own souls with it.

Like a drowning person on the verge of death, they cling desperately to the last glimmer of life, trying to extinguish as much of the flame in their soul as possible.

Little did he know that as this instinctive action proceeded, Bibi Dong, who was holding his body outside, suddenly lost all color in her face.

Her once vibrant red lips had turned deathly pale.

Her beautiful eyes were unfocused, and the intense pain, burning sensation, and emptiness that surged through her mind almost made her faint on the spot.

At the same time, on the Lotus Pond deep within the soul, a raging fire suddenly spread like wildfire.

Even the color of the flames changed instantly from golden red to blue and white, and the temperature increased several times over.

In the blink of an eye, large swaths of lotus flowers withered, and the pond dried up layer by layer, revealing the lotus leaves and roots underneath.

Perhaps it won't be long before this place becomes a deathly silence again.

Fortunately, Su Cheng quickly made a new move.

As the temperature in his soul plummeted, Su Cheng, now much more lucid, immediately realized where the soul essence flowing in from the outside world came from.

He was all too familiar with that aura.

The complex emotions in my heart flashed by, and now is not the time to dwell on them.

He quickly suppressed his instinct to use his soul to control and entangle the other party, otherwise Bibi Dong might not be able to hold on any longer and die from soul depletion.

Only then did he begin to endure the excruciating pain and think of a solution.

Under the continuous scorching of the Sun Fire, the molten gold spots that were originally appearing in the meridians have begun to gradually connect into patches, transforming into dark patterns resembling glass.

However, many of the smaller, finer branches of the meridians have been charred and blackened, and some have even broken off completely.

This is because his Five Elements Perfection, his vitality is strong enough, and his Innate Power is not like Soul Power, which merely flows in his meridians.

Otherwise, this injury alone would directly cause him to lose all his strength.

"This time they're completely ruined..."

Su Cheng sighed inwardly.

But being able to save their lives is already an incredible stroke of luck; there's no point in asking for anything more.

However, the crisis is not completely over.

If the remaining embers in the body are not dealt with in time, they will likely reignite before long.

To get out of the current predicament, the first issue is to improve physical condition.

Without the support of a body, Innate Power is like a rootless duckweed, only growing weaker and weaker until it is completely burned away by the uncontrolled Sun Power as fuel.

The self -Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which was once regarded as a trump card, has long been useless.

His perfect Innate Power is based on the Longevity Sword, and the key lies in his Seventh Soul Ring.

Su Cheng had already conducted in-depth research on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Its essence is the completion of bloodline information. The Innate Skill Nirvana Sutra that he developed had the effect of realizing Martial Soul Fusion in part.

The problem is that the bloodline of the Longevity Sword has now been sublimated.

In this state, the enhancement effect of the Second Martial Soul that has not yet been upgraded is almost non-existent, and it is even very likely to destroy the Martial Soul that has not yet realized its potential if one is not careful.

After all, the Sun Fire is simply too domineering.

Actually, losing a Second Martial Soul is not unacceptable to Su Cheng.

This is a critical moment where every second counts. If we miss the opportunity to save ourselves because of this, we will be devastated.

So there's only one option left right now.

Ring Shattering!

It's true that using this kind of Soul Skill has significant side effects.

It's also true that a lost Soul Ring will be lost forever.

But with my life hanging by a thread, I can't afford to worry about such trivial matters.

A decline in strength can be corrected through training, and depletion of potential can be remedied. But one only has one life; death truly ends everything.

The next moment, the Longevity Sword stuck in the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

Then, the First Soul Ring crumbled and disappeared bit by bit.

As the ring of laws completely shattered, powerful law energy began to surge back into the body in an explosive manner.

The meridians and flesh, like withered trees coming back to life, were infused with new vitality.

His charred body surface also gleamed slightly with his movements.

"Call..."

Su Cheng breathed heavily, trying his best to contain the power within his body to reduce its depletion.

At the same time, he finally felt pain from the surface of his body again.

This is a good thing.

This means that the nerve fibers that were completely destroyed are slowly Reshaping.

Immediately afterwards, the Second Soul Ring shattered.

Third Soul Ring, Fourth Soul Ring, Fifth Soul Ring...

Su Cheng only stopped moving after all five Soul Ring attached to the Longevity Sword disappeared.

It wasn't that he was holding back.

His body was severely injured, and his Sixth Soul Ring was no ordinary one; it was 100,000 Year Spirit Ring that had been formed on its own and was infused with his Bright Moon Sword Intent.

The energy within is far greater than the previous five Soul Ring combined, and it may be impossible to withstand it.

He needs to use the Bloodline Power from the previous Ring Shattering to recover some of his condition before trying again.

After all, although the first five Soul Rings were only at the ten-thousand-year limit level, they still resonated with the five elements, which was also very beneficial for repairing the body's condition.

Once the pressure has eased somewhat, he will use his Sixth Soul Ring to extinguish the Sun Fire within his body.

This was his last resort; if it failed, he would have to shatter his Seventh Soul Ring.

However, the Seventh Soul Ring is the foundation of the Longevity True Body. If it really comes to this point, there will be no turning back; it's all or nothing.

Without the protection of the perfect Innate Power of the second stage of the Longevity True Body, he was powerless to continue confronting the Sun Power.

The terrifying Sun Fire within the body can incinerate almost everything; lower-level energies are merely fuel to continue its burning.

Fortunately, the situation did not get that bad.

Even from the outside, the huge flames burning around Su Cheng were no longer the pure, bright white they had been before, but instead emitted a faint blue light.

Although the temperature is still alarming, it is much lower than before.

The rate at which his life force was fading began to slow down, seemingly forming a delicate balance with the powerful destructive energy within him.

At this moment, Bibi Dong, wearing Dark Green Armor and displaying the Martial Soul Avatar form of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, finally left the core of the flames and stood in front of the group again.

His arms, encased in armor, were charred black, and his ten exposed fingers looked like burnt bones, appearing withered and grotesque.

His aura was extremely low.

Even the incredibly tough Spider Emperor Armor on its body had long since melted away in large sections, becoming pitted and uneven, no longer possessing its former smooth and sharp appearance.

Clearly, Bibi Dong's decision to voluntarily withdraw from the center of the flames at this time was not only due to Su Cheng's improved condition and temporary safety, but also because she herself was finding it difficult to continue.

However, only Bibi Dong herself knows that Su Cheng's condition has improved, and she also knows that he possesses the Ring Shattering Secret Technique, which can greatly enhance his strength, so he should be out of danger. Qian Renxue and the others are unaware of this.

Looking at the powerful flames still burning fiercely around Su Cheng's body, and seeing that Bibi Dong's aura had plummeted to rock bottom.

The two Qian Renxue moved in the same way, immediately trying to break free from Qian Daoliu's grasp and rush into the towering flames.

"Qian Renxue! Haven't you caused enough trouble? Is your life really that worthless?!"

A sharp, angry shout rang in their ears, and both of them stopped moving at the same time.

Bibi Dong's voice was filled with heavy breathing, her high chest heaving violently, "If it weren't for your willfulness, if it weren't for wanting to save your life, with Su Cheng's strength, would he have ended up like this?! Look at his Soul Ring!"

Over the years, her feelings toward her daughter Qian Renxue have always been extremely complicated.

Despite being inseparable blood relatives, they harbor an indelible sense of disgust and hatred.

However, she never once had the thought that the other party would lose their life in vain.

Surprisingly, Qian Renxue did not get angry or refute after hearing Bibi Dong's angry rebuke.

They both understood the other's unspoken meaning.

At this moment, everyone could see that Su Cheng only had two lonely Soul Ring left at his feet.

"How... how is he?"

Wearing golden Battle Armor, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask, her expression slightly relaxed but still unable to hide her panic.

The other silver-armored figure beside her didn't speak, but his eyes were also fixed on her.

Looking at the two people, Bibi Dong's heart stirred, and her tone suddenly became calm, "They should be out of danger."

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Then, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Bibi Dong, who was covered in tatters, with a complicated expression, and whispered, "And you... are you alright?"

It was this mother, whom she loathed and rejected, who saved her lover's life.

"I won't die either."

Bibi Dong said coldly.

After venting her frustrations with those two sentences, she quickly calmed down.

Because she suddenly realized that this was a perfect opportunity.

Just moments before, all she wanted was to save Su Cheng's life, and she was willing to burn her own soul essence for it.

But now that Su Cheng is out of danger, she suddenly feels that she should consider other things.

First and foremost, people shouldn't be saved for nothing.

She had been prepared to risk her life to save people and hadn't had time to think too much about it.

But now that I've done this, I have to find a way to let Su Cheng know.

As for how to express it, we can consider that in detail later.

Anyway, she would never be the kind of fool who silently makes sacrifices.

Given Su Cheng's personality, his actions today will undoubtedly be a crucial bargaining chip.

Secondly, it is true that the situation has developed rapidly today.

But now that the situation has suddenly changed, she has to make use of it.

Especially Qian Renxue.

While she had an unbreakable blood bond with Qian Renxue, she didn't actually want to see this daughter in any sense.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu, "Could the High Priest please excuse us for the time being? I have some things I would like to discuss with them privately."

Qian Daoliu frowned upon hearing this, somewhat uneasy.

But then she remembered Bibi Dong's earlier act of risking her life to save people and stopping Qian Renxue from taking risks, and felt that there should be no major problem.

And since Su Cheng was out of danger, the situation must be under control, so he nodded slightly and said, "That's good."

After saying that, he moved and left.

After he left, Bibi Dong turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing behind her and said, "Zhu Zhuqing, you should leave here too."

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing showed no reaction, staring blankly at the pillar of fire in front of her.

A huge white flame, faintly glowing blue, was reflected in her eyes, flickering uncertainly.

Bibi Dong frowned upon seeing this, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

But he quickly suppressed it, enduring the waves of pain in his mind, and used the little remaining Soul Power to mix with the sound, sending it into the depths of Zhu Zhuqing's soul.

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

"...What?"

Zhu Zhuqing then came to her senses and looked blankly at her nominal teacher.

"Go back and rest first," Bibi Dong said gently. "What happened today has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself. Su Cheng is out of danger. He will come to find you in a few days when he is better."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the girl, who had previously remained resolute in the face of Qian Renxue's terrifying Divine Might, suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes.

She didn't say much, and after taking one last look at the figure in the firelight, she turned and left.

Watching her departing figure, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly.

He then turned his gaze back to the two tall, beautiful figures in front of him who looked exactly alike but had completely different temperaments, and said coldly, "Do you see that? This is the difference between you and her."

"You know about her?"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her face darkening.

Although she knew the timing wasn't right, this was a knot in her heart, and she had to get to the bottom of it.
