"What? You're saying that the one we've been fighting all along was just her Spider Emperor Avatar?"
Qian Renxue managed to catch her breath.
Hearing Chu Feng's words, her heart surged once again.
She drew in a deep, cold breath.
Who could have imagined that the entity they had fought for so long, who possessed such immense power and had left her, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo with no room to parry, was actually just a Spider Emperor Avatar of that woman.
If a single Spider Emperor Avatar was already this formidable, then the powerful methods at Bibi Dong's disposal were truly endless.
Every single skill was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
There was the Abyss Slash, which possessed the power of space, ignored distance, and was an inescapable, undefendable spatial tear.
There was the Eternal Wound, which could continuously drain an opponent's vitality.
There was the Thousand Peaks and Myriad Shields, which combined offense and defense into one.
And now, this Spider Emperor Avatar.
At this moment, Qian Renxue deeply felt the strength of her mother, and the gap between them was like a chasm of heaven-sent proportions.
A mere avatar of hers was enough to toy with her, even when she was giving it her all, leaving her with no power to fight back.
Moreover, this was all while the other party had no intention of killing her.
If she didn't have the status of being the woman's biological daughter, Qian Renxue dared not imagine what would have happened to her if she had faced a murderous Bibi Dong.
For a moment, Qian Renxue didn't know whether she should be glad or not that she was her biological daughter.
If she weren't her daughter, they would already be corpses by now.
Qian Renxue's heart fell into a state of complexity.
At the same time, she finally realized just how far away the goal she had been striving to reach truly was.
All this time, Qian Renxue had thought that by taking over the Heaven Dou Empire, she would be able to stand on equal footing and go toe-to-toe with that woman.
Only now did she realize how naive she had been.
Then again, if that woman didn't have some real tricks up her sleeve, how could she have firmly secured her position as the Pope of Spirit Hall?
How could she have stood her ground against the Consecrated Hall, turning the once-dominant Consecrated Hall into a Spirit Hall that now had two different voices?
After a flurry of thoughts, Qian Renxue looked up at her younger brother, Chu Feng.
Even though Bibi Dong was that strong, she had still been knocked down by Chu Feng in just a few strikes.
Chu Feng was the one who was truly terrifyingly powerful.
At the same time, this gave Qian Renxue a profound revelation, making her deeply realize one point.
The essence of the world is unfair; it is a place where the strong prey on the weak and might makes right.
She had been wrong all along.
She should have listened to Chu Feng back then and not stubbornly insisted on going undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire, wasting her cultivation talent for nothing.
In terms of martial soul and cultivation talent, she and Chu Feng were evenly matched.
She possessed the god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and was born with innate full soul power at level 20.
If she hadn't gone undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire and had instead focused her heart entirely on cultivation.
She would at least be a Title Douluo by now.
If she had the cultivation of a Title Douluo, even if she couldn't defeat that woman, she wouldn't have been beaten like a child by one of her avatars.
Qian Renxue was full of regret.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Come to think of it, this was all her grandfather's fault.
If it hadn't been for her grandfather suggesting she go undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire to temper her character and take the Heaven Dou Empire for Spirit Hall without wasting a single soldier, she wouldn't have gone.
"This is just her Spider Emperor Avatar, so what do we do now?" After her thoughts settled, worry rose in her heart again. Her small hand traced little circles on Chu Feng's chest as she asked him anxiously.
In truth, Qian Renxue had already recovered some soul power and didn't need to lean on Chu Feng to fly anymore.
It was just that she really liked leaning on Chu Feng like this.
Leaning on him allowed her to catch his scent, and his muscles gave her a sense of security, so Qian Renxue was reluctant to leave.
Furthermore, it had been far, far too long since Qian Renxue had been this close to Chu Feng.
After today's brief reunion, she would have to return to the Heaven Dou Empire to continue her undercover work.
She had to continue executing her Nation-Stealing Plan.
Qian Renxue raised her eyes slightly, looking up at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was a head taller than Qian Renxue.
Although Qian Renxue was quite tall herself, she felt like a little girl next to the taller Chu Feng.
As Qian Renxue leaned in his arms, she had to look up to see his eyes.
Chu Feng stared straight ahead, his eyes deep and searching, as if he were looking for a figure or contemplating something.
Chu Feng was indeed searching for the figure of Bibi Dong, while simultaneously pondering a certain matter.
When Fang Gang had severed one of Bibi Dong's arms with a single strike of his spear, Chu Feng had felt a sense of doubt.
Why hadn't Bibi Dong dropped a Spirit Bone?!
Although Bibi Dong did not possess a full set of Spirit Bones at the moment, Chu Feng knew that both her left and right arms were equipped with them.
The Spirit Bones in her left and right arms were two very special ones, both dropped by the same Spirit Beast—the Death Spider Emperor.
The Death Spider Emperor was the only Spirit Beast known to drop two different Spirit Bones simultaneously.
Now, Chu Feng finally understood the reason why no Spirit Bone had dropped when Bibi Dong's arm was severed!
It was because the figure before him was merely a Spider Emperor Avatar of Bibi Dong; how could an avatar possibly possess Spirit Bones?
Bibi Dong's Spider Emperor Avatar was a construct formed from spirit power, lacking its own consciousness and requiring Bibi Dong to control it with her own mental power, which meant her true body had to be nearby.
Chu Feng released his mental power to conduct a search.
Yet, just as Chu Feng was releasing his mental power to search for Bibi Dong's trail in every direction, her cold, chilling voice drifted from behind him.
"Rakshasa Ghost Eyes scorch the heavens, a single breath slaughters three thousand worlds!"
"One-hundred-thousand-year Torso Spirit Bone skill!"
As Bibi Dong's voice rang out, the world trembled, and dark purple spirit power flooded the heavens and the earth.
On the ground, the earth cracked open as beams of blood-red light erupted from the soil, converging in the sky.
A figure appeared behind Chu Feng.
The figure wore the purple robes of the Pope, held the Pope Scepter in her hand, and had six purple wings as thin as cicada wings sprouting from her back.
The flapping of these wings provided the purple-robed woman with the ability to fly.
Bibi Dong raised the Pope Scepter high, activating her one-hundred-thousand-year Torso Spirit Bone skill.
In an instant, countless strands of deathly spirit power surged toward Bibi Dong, merging into her body. The six wings on her back retracted, and a massive purple phantom emerged from behind her.
The purple figure behind Bibi Dong spread its arms, and a unique crystal stone at the center of its chest began to glow.
"Swish!"
A beam of light, imbued with the power of death and destruction, shot forth from the diamond-shaped crystal, striking toward Chu Feng with the force of a landslide.
At this point, it was a life-or-death struggle between the two.
If Chu Feng did not die, then her Xiao Gang would be the one to die in the future.
Bibi Dong would not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, even if it meant sacrificing her daughter, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong would not hesitate.
"Floating life looks back, all like a dream; Myriad Void returns to dust, all becoming emptiness."
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Myriad Void Manifestation!"
