As she made this move, the purple-black carapace on her body instantly spread.
In no time, she had transformed into a gigantic spider. The green hairs on her eight legs turned purple, and a faint purple glow enveloped her entire body. Everywhere she passed, the ground turned a scorched yellow.
This was Bibi Dong's Martial Soul Avatar, the Death Spider Emperor.
Even after revealing her Martial Soul Avatar, Bibi Dong still felt it wasn't powerful enough, so she used another skill. As she did, the black Eighth Spirit Ring around her lit up, and dazzling purple light began to solidify at her left side.
As the light and shadows flickered, another Death Spider Emperor—identical to her true form—appeared beside her.
This was the Spider Emperor Clone, the Eighth Soul Skill of Bibi Dong's First Martial Soul. Spider Emperor Clone effect: Creates a clone using a Soul Skill. The clone possesses one hundred percent of the original's power, has no intelligence, and must be controlled.
That one hundred percent of her power didn't just refer to physical strength; it included Soul Skills as well. Of course, it only included her first seven Soul Skills, not the Eighth or Ninth.
At Bibi Dong's command, the Spider Emperor Clone sprang forward and reached her side. Then it accelerated alongside Bibi Dong's true form. The two became a pair of purple blurs as they charged toward Qian Xunji.
Her Third Spirit Ring lit up, and two purple webs shot out at once, enveloped in a hazy purple mist as they spread toward Qian Xunji.
As the webs closed in on him, they rapidly expanded in midair.
At first glance, the webs looked too small to cover even one person. But Qian Xunji knew that by the time they reached him, they would be large enough to ensnare him.
This was Bibi Dong's Third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Restraint: She spews out dark purple webs wrapped in a hazy purple poison, which spread toward the enemy. The webs expand as they fly through the air, then ensnare their target.
The number of webs produced by this skill is decided by its user. The stronger the user, the more webs they can shoot out, and the larger the webs are. Once their strength reaches the Titled Douluo level, they can ensnare even enormous Soul Beasts like the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
As the webs closed around Qian Xunji, the Fourth Spirit Rings on Bibi Dong's true form and Spider Emperor Clone also lit up. Purple-black spikes, each over a meter long, covered every part of both bodies, while their purple carapaces grew exceptionally thick.
This was her Fourth Soul Skill, Thorn Spider Armor. It was a defensive skill aimed at a single target, and its poisonous spikes were highly toxic.
As her Fourth Spirit Ring lit up, intense purple light surged from Bibi Dong's body. In an instant, it turned everything around her into a purple sea, which continued to spread, attempting to reach Qian Xunji's feet.
It was the Death Domain.
It was the innate domain of Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul, exceptionally powerful and domineering. It could boost her own attributes while weakening her enemies'. Within its range, stealth and short-range teleportation skills could not be used. It could also attack an enemy's mind, making it a terrifying domain.
Most terrifying of all, it could create a poisonous environment.
The entire area within the domain was filled with the Death Spider Emperor's poison. It was incredibly corrosive and spread rapidly, while also slowing its targets.
Once poisoned, a person's body would grow weaker and weaker until death.
If used in war, it would be a calamity for ordinary soldiers.
The appearance of the Death Domain also meant that Bibi Dong was giving this master-and-disciple duel everything she had.
She had even gone for the kill!
Realizing this, Qian Xunji's gaze instantly turned cold.
When Bibi Dong had proposed the duel, he had already prepared himself for the possibility that she might seize the chance to kill him during the fight. But now that the moment had actually come, he was still furious.
Because he was Qian Xunji now!
If Bibi Dong wanted to kill Qian Xunji, she wanted to kill him!
And he would show no mercy to someone who wanted him dead!
Especially since this wasn't the first time she had tried to kill him.
When she had given him the poisoned medicine before, he had just transmigrated and was gravely injured, so he had no choice but to endure it.
But now, he had fully recovered. Not only that, the Divine Spring Ruthless Great Emperor had given him had transformed his body, and his cultivation had advanced even further.
The situation had completely turned around. He no longer needed to endure it! He no longer needed to consider the bond between master and disciple!
With that thought, Qian Xunji brought his hands together and raised them above his head, forming the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal. The bottle's mouth rested where his hands met, swallowing the essence of the Sun and Moon and the energy of heaven and earth.
In the next instant, strands of dark light surged from his crown chakra and forged a bottle above his head. Dark light flowed across its surface, as clear and lustrous as black jade, as if it would never decay.
It was simple and natural, its design not at all complicated. It gave one the impression that the Great Dao was simplicity itself—as if it were the vessel of the Dao, capable of suppressing all the heavens and myriad worlds. It was mysterious beyond measure.
This was the Great Dao Treasure Vase Qian Xunji had forged from his own life essence.
Although the vase had yet to fully take shape, it already possessed boundless divine power and vast reserves of magical energy. Every time it breathed in and out, it exchanged vital essence with the origin of heaven and earth.
After all, it was the tangible form of the Dao. In the future, it would be able to gather boundless magical energy!
The Great Dao Treasure Vase, dark and lustrous, floated up and down. As the vessel of the Dao, it let strands of dark light fall, shrouding Qian Xunji beneath them.
Those strands of dark light were, unmistakably, laws.
As the Great Dao Treasure Vase appeared, the Death Domain that Bibi Dong had been spreading abruptly came to a halt.
The purple light she had released was directly blocked by the strands of dark light. It couldn't reach Qian Xunji's feet.
Not only that, but the purple sea was slowly fading, as if the strands of dark light were devouring it.
