If she were given a few more years, wouldn't she successfully step into the ranks of a Limit Douluo? In this generation, Ghost Gate was destined to unify Douluo Continent. No potential danger could be left behind.
"Hmph!"
At those words, Bibi Dong snorted coldly and took a slight step back, ready to attack at any moment. Although the Soul Power of the man before her had only reached Rank 98, he still could not be underestimated.
She could only use her first 100,000-Year Soul Ring. She had to defeat the enemy before her in a single strike.
"Go hold back that Titled Douluo."
At that moment, another wisp of black mist from the Middle-Aged Man's hand drifted into Tang Hao's body, ordering him to hold back Dugu Bo.
He needed to focus completely on fighting Bibi Dong and could not allow anyone else to interfere.
Tang Hao, once again under control, regained consciousness. His brows were tightly furrowed as he tried to resist this power, but his struggle was still futile. He could only continue to be forcibly controlled.
Boom!
Like a walking corpse, he summoned his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and attacked Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo's expression changed when he saw this. He had not expected that Middle-Aged Man to possess a method capable of controlling a Soul Master's mind—one that could even control a Titled Douluo.
It seemed the coming battle would not be easy. Although Tang Hao had only just broken through to become a Titled Douluo and was seriously injured, he still had to remain highly vigilant to avoid suffering a setback.
His Three-Colored Flood Dragon Martial Soul was already the strongest Martial Soul below Divine Martial Souls. A mere Clear Sky Hammer could not threaten him. This was the perfect opportunity to test his Ninth Soul Skill.
Rumble! Rumble!
The Middle-Aged Man released his Martial Soul. It was the very same Ghost God Martial Soul possessed by the Black-Robed Elder who had fought Qian Daoliu in Sunset Forest before.
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.
Nine Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet one after another—two purple, six black, and one red. This extraordinary Soul Ring configuration left everyone astonished, their mouths agape as they remained unable to recover for a long while.
The pressure belonging to a Divine Martial Soul instantly swept across the entire area. Aside from Bibi Dong, everyone else felt as though a mountain had been placed upon their backs, making it difficult to straighten themselves.
Bibi Dong waved a hand, using her Soul Power to completely negate the pressure created by the Divine Martial Soul. She stood calmly in place without moving.
"Hmm? How strange?"
"It seems your Martial Soul has changed. I'm truly curious—what is your Martial Soul now? And why did it change?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere throughout the entire area fell silent enough for a pin to drop.
Yet the Middle-Aged Man frowned deeply. From the moment Bibi Dong's Soul Power appeared, he had sensed an incomparably pure Darkness Power.
It bore none of the aura of Bibi Dong's former Twin Martial Souls, the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
Could a Soul Master's Martial Soul actually change?
That should have been impossible, yet Bibi Dong's condition was difficult to explain.
A Soul Master's Martial Soul was the foundation for cultivating Soul Power. From the moment of birth, it was almost already predetermined. External forces simply could not alter the origin of a Martial Soul. Even the ancestor of Ghost Gate did not possess such means.
From ancient times to the present, Douluo Continent had never heard of a Martial Soul undergoing such a fundamental transformation. As for mutated Martial Souls, they merely changed based on the original Martial Soul.
He could clearly sense the aura of Bibi Dong's Martial Soul. It was practically as if she had been replaced with an entirely new Martial Soul.
"Huh?"
When Bibi Dong saw the colors of the Middle-Aged Man's Soul Rings, surprise appeared on her face.
Then she raised her head to examine the appearance of his Martial Soul, and gradually understood. This was actually a Divine Martial Soul that had vanished for ten thousand years—the Ghost God Martial Soul.
A Martial Soul that had disappeared for ten thousand years had reappeared in the world. It seemed the waters of Douluo Continent ran deep. The next phase of her plan had to be carried out immediately, without room for error.
"Since you want to see it, I'll grant your wish."
Bibi Dong rose into the air and spread her arms. Her Martial Soul emerged behind her: a young girl dressed in a black gown, whose appearance was seventy percent similar to Bibi Dong's, quietly appeared, exuding an alluringly sinister aura.
Rumble! Rumble!
The first 100,000-Year Soul Ring gradually appeared beneath Bibi Dong's feet, followed immediately by a second 100,000-Year Soul Ring.
Moments later, all nine Soul Rings, each over 100,000 years old, had appeared. Their bewitching red light completely dyed this entire area into a crimson world.
Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red.
Nine earth-shattering red Soul Rings, each starting at 100,000 years, appeared before everyone.
Upon seeing Bibi Dong's Soul Ring configuration, everyone's bodies became incomparably stiff. Their pupils contracted as they stared fixedly at the Martial Soul behind Bibi Dong and the colors of her Soul Rings, utterly unable to recover.
"How is this possible? You actually possess nine 100,000-Year Soul Rings! It must be fake! This is impossible!"
When the Middle-Aged Man first saw Bibi Dong's Divine Martial Soul, his expression had changed slightly, because he sensed that Bibi Dong's Martial Soul held a faint Suppression Force over his own Ghost God Martial Soul.
Though the difference did not seem great, at critical moments in battle, it could even determine victory or defeat.
However, when the Middle-Aged Man saw Bibi Dong's Soul Ring configuration next, he completely cast aside the gravity he had felt moments ago.
In an instant, his eyes filled with shock. He hurriedly fell to the ground, staggered backward, and cried out madly.
How was this possible?!
Could this kind of Soul Ring configuration truly be achieved by a human Soul Master?
This was far too terrifying!
Could it be that Spirit Hall had mastered a method to increase the age of Soul Rings? At that thought, a greedy expression suddenly appeared on the Middle-Aged Man's face.
If they could obtain this method, Ghost Gate could move up its timetable for unifying the Douluo Continent.
"Old Ghost, am I seeing things? When did Her Royal Highness, the Saintess break through to become a Titled Douluo? And why has her martial soul changed? What shocks me most is that she has nine 100,000-Year Soul Rings."
After witnessing the changes in Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately collapsed to the ground. Turning to Ghost Douluo, he muttered blankly, "This is far too absurd!"
Leaving aside when Bibi Dong's Soul Power Level had broken through to Titled Douluo, those nine 100,000-Year Soul Rings alone were enough to shock him for the rest of his life.
What had happened to Bibi Dong's previous Soul Rings?
Could Soul Rings be dyed different colors?
Some ridiculous thoughts gradually surfaced in Chrysanthemum Douluo's mind. Indeed, throughout the history of the entire Douluo Continent, there had never been a Soul Master with nine red 100,000-Year Soul Rings.
"I don't know either."
Ghost Douluo muttered to himself, his pitch-black pupils suddenly shrinking as he stared at Bibi Dong with the same disbelief.
"So this is Xiao Chen's master? How terrifying! She hid her true strength far too deeply."
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo was filled with complex emotions. Whatever he thought of, he ultimately felt relieved.
