The Resurrected Bibi Dong
However, just as they were about to touch the outer space, several vast divine powers descended like a net, completely freezing this area of space!
The Rakshasa God's purplish-black resentment and divine power were like a boiling swamp, exuding a nauseating aura of depravity.
The Asura God's crimson Divine Slaughter's Domain unfolded menacingly, its sharp sword intent seemingly capable of annihilating stars.
The figures of god-kings such as the God of Destruction and the Evil God also appeared and disappeared in the void, forming an encirclement.
"Traitor, still trying to escape?" The voice of the Rakshasa God was like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts, piercing straight into Tang San's soul.
The Asura God coldly locked his gaze on Gu Yuena: "Silver Dragon King, your existence is a matter of life and death for the Divine Realm. Stay."
A great battle erupted instantly!
Gu Yuena let out a long roar, revealing her true form as a silver dragon missing a pair of wings. The dazzling silver light and spatial power attempted to tear apart this space sealed by divine power.
However, she was facing several fully healthy god-kings, especially the Asura God's killing sword energy, which was specifically designed to counter Dragon Clan, making her constantly restrained and struggling to move forward.
Gu Yuena's dragon scales shattered quickly, and blood splattered everywhere. Each collision weakened her aura.
Tang San, Titled Douluo, was like a leaf in a storm, struggling in the aftermath of the battle between God Kings. He could barely protect himself, and if it weren't for Gu Yuena's protection, he would probably have died long ago.
After only a dozen or so rounds, Gu Yuena was already covered in wounds, and her silver light had dimmed.
Knowing she couldn't defeat him, she burned some of her life essence, risking severe injury from the Asura God, and forcibly tore a tiny opening in his weak spot. Her silver claws grabbed the dying Tang San, and she transformed into a pitiful silver streak, falling back into Douluo Star in a sorry state.
To Gu Yuena's surprise, these deities did not continue their pursuit.
·························
The moment Gu Yuena and Tang San crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust—
"Ugh--!!!"
A heart-wrenching, inhuman scream erupted from Tang San's mouth.
All that could be seen on his back was a bloody mess. The Eight Spider Lances, his External Soul Bone that had been completely fused with his spinal nerves and blood vessels and had undergone multiple evolutions to become one of the cores of his power, had been forcibly uprooted by the Rakshasa God!
His bones were torn apart, and his spine was removed while he was still alive. This extreme pain almost tore his soul to pieces!
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, Rakshasa God watched with pleasure as Tang San, curled up and convulsing on the ground on Douluo Star, covered in blood, held in his hand the eight purplish-black, ferocious spider Spider Spear that were still trembling nervously.
"This is the consequence of betraying God."
With a flick of her finger, the Eight Spider Lances, imbued with the properties of poison, devouring, darkness, and evolution, transformed into several beams of evil light, shooting towards a dense mass of death energy and resentment that was frantically gathering not far away.
The core of that deathly aura is none other Bibi Dong, whose physical body has been reshaped and infused with Soul Power by the Rakshasa God, and who is now being resurrected!
The Eight Spider Lances, as if possessing a life of their own, rapidly merged with Bibi Dong's newly formed body, intertwining with the Death Spider Emperor's spikes on her back, the fusion radiating a chilling, dark glow.
Feeling the familiar yet hostile power emanating from behind her, Bibi Dong slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with boundless resentment and insane killing intent.
"... Tang San..."
The woman's voice was shrill and piercing.
Looking at Bibi Dong's current appearance, Rakshasa God revealed a satisfied expression, his eyes filled with undisguised malice.
·············································
Beside him, watching Gu Yuena and Tang San transform into streaks of light and fall back to Douluo Star, finally disappearing beneath the thick dimensional barrier, the Asura God slowly withdrew his surging divine power, and the domain that had been churning like a sea of blood also calmed down.
His deep gaze fell upon the vibrant planet, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't capture him alive." The God of Destruction's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, and the surrounding space distorted slightly due to his emotions.
Capturing the Silver Dragon King alive would undoubtedly give them more leverage and room for maneuver when facing the Dragon God.
The Evil God sneered, "She burned some of her life essence, and was severely injured by your sword and the power of the Destruction Divine Power. She cannot cause any trouble for a while."
The Goddess of Kindness remained silent, a hint of complexity in her eyes, but given the bigger picture and the fact that the other party was, after all, Soul Beast, she did not voice her objections.
The Asura God finally spoke, his voice regaining its usual coldness and majesty. "It's alright. Although she escaped, she's now trapped on Douluo Star, so half of our objective has been achieved."
The dimensional barrier of Douluo Star has an extremely strong repulsive force against these alien gods. Forcibly descending in their true forms would not only suppress their strength, but also trigger a violent backlash from the entire dimensional rules, making it a losing proposition.
Now that Gu Yuena is seriously injured and has escaped into it, it is tantamount to trapping herself in a huge prison.
"Pass down the order." The Asura God turned to face the gods of the God Realm Committee, "Strengthen the border defenses of the Divine Realm, monitor all abnormal spatial fluctuations, and prevent anyone from trying to escape like Gu Yuena."
"Over there, the Rakshasa..." the Evil God said meaningfully.
"That's her private matter," the Asura God said indifferently. "As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation of the Divine Realm, let her do whatever she wants."
He didn't care about the matter between Rakshasa God and Tang San; in fact, he was happy to see it happen.
After the command was given, the figures of the gods gradually disappeared into the void.
Chapter 296 Bibi Dong's Resurrection
In fact, at the edge of Douluo Star just now, with the Rakshasa God's methods, it would have been as easy as snapping his fingers to completely annihilate Tang San's soul.
But her twisted divinity led her, in her rage, to choose a method that better suited her "pleasure."
Kill him outright? That would be too easy on him.
The Rakshasa God revels in the process of his prey struggling in despair and howling in pain.
She would repay the anger caused by the betrayal a thousandfold, savoring every moment of Tang San's descent into destruction amidst fear and torment.
Instant death is a blessing, but a long, inevitable torture is her greatest "reward" to the traitor.
It was precisely out of this extreme sense of morbid pleasure that she "showed mercy," only stripping Tang San of the Eight Spider Lances upon which he relied for growth, leaving him to linger on with a crippled body and endless pain.
Bibi Dong, whom she meticulously resurrected, was the perfect "hunting hound" she cast down to the mortal realm.
The Rakshasa God could clearly "see" the surging evil thoughts within Bibi Dong's soul, thoughts that were almost about to break free from the shackles of divine power.
That was an overwhelming hatred for Tang San, a hatred that would never be forgotten!
This hatred stemmed from Tang San's repeated betrayals, which ultimately led to her being surrounded by Ferocious Beast and dying in battle; it also stemmed from the fact that Tang San dared to devour Yu Xiaogang, the man she both loved and hated!
Rakshasa God watched all this with satisfaction. She didn't even need to Bibi Dong any orders; she only needed to send her back to Douluo Star. The instinct of hatred would drive Bibi Dong, like the most persistent vengeful spirit, to find Tang San at all costs, to tear him apart, and to make him taste all the pain in the world!
Bibi Dong, whose Martial Soul is the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor, can devour the souls of her enemies, making resurrection impossible.
"Go..." The Rakshasa God's crimson lips curled into a cruel smile as she sent the resurrected Bibi Dong back to Douluo Star. "Go and exact your revenge. Let that traitor know the consequences of betraying me!"
She could almost see Tang San fleeing like a stray dog in Bibi Dong's relentless pursuit, ultimately being torn to shreds along with his soul amidst endless fear and pain.
The mere thought of that scene filled her with immense joy.
····································
Back on Douluo Star, Bibi Dong walked through unfamiliar streets. Everywhere she looked, there were bizarre and surreal sights, which made this "dead person" feel a strong sense of disorientation and unreality.
In the sky, all sorts of mobile Flying Soul Tool streaked through the air, leaving behind dazzling trails of flame.
She recalled that during her lifetime, such items were extremely rare military supplies or luxury goods for the super-rich, but now they have entered the homes of ordinary people.
The towering city walls are covered with complex and intricate soul-guiding patterns, faintly radiating energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that their defensive capabilities far surpass those of the past.
What shocked her even more was the number and composition of Soul Master.
Looking around, almost 80% of the pedestrians on the street were radiating Soul Power fluctuations!
This was unimaginable in her time.
Moreover, because there are so many Soul Master, this Soul Power is no longer limited to combat-type Martial Soul, but has permeated all aspects of life.
The bakery owner on the street corner is using his Food-type Martial Soul spirit to make "Martial Soul bread" that exudes an enticing aroma and is said to have a slight restorative effect on physical strength, attracting a long queue of customers.
Not far away, a vendor manipulated light and shadow-based Soul Skill, weaving dazzling patterns in the air to perform, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Even a passerby who nearly fell instinctively spread out a pair of small, feathered martial Martial Soul on their back, gracefully flying through the air and regaining their balance...
The entire city seemed to be experiencing a massive explosion of Soul Guidance Technology.
Bibi Dong felt as if she had not returned to Douluo Star, but rather had mistakenly entered a plane based on a highly developed Soul Master civilization.
After repeatedly confirming that this was indeed Douluo Star, and that the continent was now ruled by the Martial Spirit Hall Empire established by Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong's chaotic thoughts gradually became clear.
She immediately thought of her identity in her "previous life"—a deacon of the Spirit Hall.
Although times have changed and the Spirit Hall has become the Spirit Hall Empire, this identity may still bring some benefits.
"At least... we can use the Spirit Hall Empire's intelligence network and resources to find Tang San..." As soon as this thought came to mind, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
With the help of the empire, she could undoubtedly shorten the time it would take to exact her revenge.
However, just as she was plotting how to use her old identity, she turned her head and her gaze was immediately drawn to the most prominent position at the very top of the city wall notice board.
There, two lifelike wanted posters were pasted side by side.
One of them was a portrait of Tang San, whom she hated to the core and whose image was etched into her soul. His face was sinister and his eyes were fierce.
The other picture shows a stunningly beautiful girl with silver hair and purple eyes—none other than the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!
Beneath the portraits of the two men was a bounty of an astronomical sum that would drive any power mad, and it was clearly stated: life or death is not the concern, but a substantial reward will be given for any valid clues!
Bibi Dong stared at the two wanted posters, stunned for a moment. Then, a ferocious smile, a mixture of ecstasy and impatience, slowly appeared on her face, which was twisted with resentment.
"Heh... hehe... hahahaha!" She chuckled softly, her laughter hoarse and maniacal. "Tang San... Gu Yuena... truly, heaven is on my side!"
She had initially worried that it would take a lot of effort to find their trail, but to her surprise, the Spirit Hall Empire had publicly offered a bounty!
She didn't even need to use any tricks; Tang San and Gu Yuena were already being hunted down across the entire continent.
····································
Bibi Dong's smile quickly faded.
When she met the imperial officials' looks of utter disbelief and a barely concealed surge of anger, her face showed a mixture of disbelief and astonishment.
Following her memory, she found the city's administrative core— the Spirit Hall Empire's governing hall.
After the announcement, she was not received by the expected respectful local bishop or elder, but by a middle-aged official in a crisp imperial uniform, wearing a Soul Tool badge on his chest, and with shrewd eyes.
When Bibi Dong, with the arrogance of a former deacon of the Spirit Hall headquarters, declared that she was "a deacon of the Spirit Hall and had important matters that required the assistance of the Empire," the official was first taken aback. Then, as if he had heard an extremely absurd joke, he looked her up and down, his suspicion almost tangible.
"Sir?" The official scoffed, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm. "Are you perhaps here to make fun of me?"
He tapped the table, making a crisp sound, "The Empire abolished the Spirit Hall's outdated system of deacons and bishops long ago! Now we use the Imperial Government Official system! You say you used to be a deacon? Where's your proof? You must have your invalidated Soul Guidance Badge, right?"
Bibi Dong: "..."
