The battle at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan continued. After using the Nine Dragon Crowns, Yu Yuanzhen had truly gained the power to contend with level 99 Bibi Dong. Berserk lightning and purple Sinister Aura collided in the air, sending wave after wave of ripples through the atmosphere.
However, as time passed, Bibi Dong grew increasingly proficient in using Rakshasa Divine Power, while Yu Yuanzhen's Soul Power steadily weakened due to the Nine Dragon Crowns.
"Ninth Soul Skill: True Dragon's Wrath, Its Roar Shakes the Nine Heavens." Powerful lightning spread toward Bibi Dong, but she showed no intention of dodging, raising the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand to block it.
But Bibi Dong had greatly underestimated Yu Yuanzhen's strongest attack. The violent lightning paralyzed her entire body.
Yu Yuanzhen charged forward, gathering all his Soul Power. Berserk lightning filled his body and formed a massive sphere of thunder around him. He roared, "Bibi Dong, I'll make you accompany the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in death! Eighth Soul Skill: Dragon Soaring Heavenly Thunderstorm."
In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen's strongest single-target attack swallowed Bibi Dong whole, and a bolt of lightning shot into the sky.
"Your Excellency the Pope..." Seeing Bibi Dong take the attack head-on, the people of Spirit Hall were all horrified.
After the attack, Yu Yuanzhen saw that Bibi Dong before him had been completely reduced to ashes. His body also began to age rapidly from that move, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Did I win?"
But at that moment, a purple energy appeared behind Yu Yuanzhen and condensed into Bibi Dong's figure. Her cold voice drifted over. "An attack of this level can't kill me."
"How is that possible..." Yu Yuanzhen looked at Bibi Dong behind him, disbelief appearing in his eyes. He could not understand why his strongest single-target attack had failed to kill Bibi Dong. His Soul Power was at level 99 now!
Bibi Dong saw Yu Yuanzhen's shock and explained, "The Ninth Soul Skill of my Death Spider Emperor, Undying Body, is an absolute life-saving skill. When activated, it allows my body to exist through energy rather than relying on ** for a short time. Other than gods, no one can break this skill."
"How is that possible..." Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yu Yuanzhen fell into despair once more. By now, his body had aged beyond recognition. The hair on his head began to fall out, and his once-muscular body started to wither.
Bibi Dong said contemptuously, "Still, I should thank you. Thanks to you, my control over Rakshasa Divine Power has grown stronger and stronger. As expected, only by fighting powerful opponents can I better master my strength."
Yu Yuanzhen no longer spoke. Looking at him as his life force rapidly drained away, Bibi Dong said coldly, "Alright, become a part of my power as well!"
As she spoke, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in Bibi Dong's hand began to change. Several scythes split from it at once and stabbed into Yu Yuanzhen's body. His already aged body was devoured by the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and his last remnants of life force were swiftly drained away. He was completely turned into a dried corpse and fell to the ground.
Bibi Dong returned to the ground. The Rakshasa Demon Scythe began converting the Soul Power it had absorbed from Yu Yuanzhen and transferring it into Bibi Dong's body. At that moment, she sensed that, besides Soul Power, Yu Yuanzhen's powerful Resentful Aura and Sinister Aura had also entered her body.
Bibi Dong, even if I die, I won't let you off. At that moment, Yu Yuanzhen's voice sounded in Bibi Dong's mind, causing her eyes to turn bloodshot.
"Damn undead! You were trash when you were alive—what can you do after death?!" Bibi Dong roared. Her Soul Power and Rakshasa Divine Power erupted at once. Killing Intent, Malevolent Aura, Sinister Aura, and Resentful Aura all emerged from her body. Under the pressure of her terrifying aura, fragments of stone on the surrounding ground began to float into the air, creating a terrifying anti-gravity phenomenon.
But at that moment, Bibi Dong's sixth, seventh, and eighth soul rings also began to change gradually. Before the eyes of Spirit Hall and the Seven Great Sects, the three black soul rings turned red.
At this point, all the soul rings of Bibi Dong's first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, had become hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
However, neither Ghost Douluo nor the people of the Seven Great Sects dared approach Bibi Dong. The Malevolent Aura around her was simply too terrifying, several times more frightening than Yu Yuanzhen's presence. Merely remaining here had already taken all their courage. If they could, they would have fled immediately.
Seeing Bibi Dong's pained expression, Ghost Douluo feared that she would lose control of Rakshasa Divine Power and go berserk, slaughtering every one of them.
Fortunately, what Ghost Douluo feared did not happen. After Bibi Dong's violent Sinister Aura persisted for over a minute, it gradually stabilized before finally calming completely. She once again became the noble, elegant, and perfect Pope of Spirit Hall.
"Elder Ju," Bibi Dong called.
"Your subordinate is here," Ghost Douluo immediately replied.
Bibi Dong walked toward Ghost Douluo, whose heart was in turmoil. Ever since learning that Bibi Dong's God Exam required her to absorb the Soul Power of soul masters and soul beasts, Ghost Douluo had spent the past year in constant fear, afraid that one mistake would lead to Bibi Dong killing him outright.
When Bibi Dong arrived before Ghost Douluo, she said calmly, "Order everyone to take all the valuables from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Burn anything that cannot be taken away. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan no longer exists anyway."
"Yes."
Bibi Dong then looked toward the sect masters of the other Seven Great Sects. Their Soul Power was only at the Soul Douluo level, just one step away from becoming Titled Douluo. She said, "Sect Masters, you have worked hard in this operation."
"Your Excellency the Pope, you are too kind. Being able to serve Your Excellency the Pope is our blessing," they replied, cupping their fists in salute.
"Very good." Bibi Dong continued, "Elder Ju, select seven Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones and present them to the seven Sect Masters later."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Pope," Ghost Douluo accepted the order.
The seven Sect Masters also thanked her in unison. "Thank you for Your Excellency the Pope's benevolence."
Walking ahead, Bibi Dong continued, "As for the three soul bones on Yu Yuanzhen's body, each is over sixty thousand years old. Once the Soul Hunting Operation is over, the Upper Three Sects will no longer exist. Spirit Hall will select new Seven Great Sects, and those three soul bones will be bestowed by Spirit Hall as rewards to the new Upper Three Sects. I hope to see your loyalty then."
