Heavenly Power, Emperor's Punishment Lightning Strike! (Seeking Follow-ups)

"No... don't!"

Porcupinefish Douluo was the first to break. With a thud, he dropped to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed toward Qin Zheng in the sky.

"Mercy, Ancestor! Please spare us, Ancestor!"

"We were blind and dared offend the Ancestor's heavenly might! Please show mercy and spare our lives!"

"We are willing to pledge our loyalty to the Ancestor! From this day forth, we will follow the Ancestor's lead alone! We will never harbor any disloyalty!"

"Please spare us, Ancestor!!"

Once there was a first, there was a second.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo...

The other five Titled Douluo elders also fell to their knees, kowtowing repeatedly as they begged for mercy.

They were truly terrified.

Even His Holiness the Pope might not be able to withstand that attack. If they went up against it, wouldn't they just be throwing their lives away?!

Wasn't living good enough?

Why seek death?!

However.

High in the sky.

Qin Zheng lowered his gaze to the six elders kneeling below and begging for mercy. There was not the slightest ripple in his dark eyes.

It was as though he were looking at six ants.

He could not even be bothered to answer them.

He merely slowly turned his palm over.

Palm facing downward.

A single indifferent word left his thin lips.

"Fall."

Boom—!!!

The instant his words fell!

The skies above Spirit City suddenly darkened with dense storm clouds!

Billowing black clouds gathered from all directions like a tidal wave, blotting out the heavens and sun!

Within the clouds, countless bolts of white lightning writhed and collided wildly, releasing deafening rumbles!

The terrifying might of the lightning pressed down upon all of Spirit City, leaving the entire city struggling to breathe!

The next second!

Crack—!!

A thick white bolt of lightning, as wide as a water barrel, crashed down from the heavens!

Its target was Bibi Dong below!

Wherever the lightning passed, space itself was torn open in thin cracks!

Its terrifying power made hearts tremble!

"A bunch of trash!"

Bibi Dong looked at the six elders kneeling beside her and begging for mercy. Her exquisite face was cold as frost, and her eyes flashed with undisguised contempt and disgust.

Useless fools!

They usually threw their weight around under her protection.

But the moment they encountered a true expert, they were scared shitless!

Still, she could not simply stand by and watch them die.

They were Titled Douluo in the end, and Titled Douluo loyal to her at that.

"Hmph!"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and abruptly raised her head, staring fixedly at the white lightning descending from the sky.

There was not a trace of fear in her eyes—only absolute gravity and madness.

Trying to kill her?

It would not be that easy!

"Ninth Soul Skill—Undying Body!"

Buzz—!

The scarlet hundred-thousand-year soul ring beneath Bibi Dong's feet suddenly lit up!

Dazzling blood-red radiance enveloped her entire body!

The next second!

Her body began to turn ethereal!

Flesh, bones, meridians... everything was visibly transforming into energy!

In the blink of an eye, Bibi Dong's entire body seemed to have become a mass of dark green energy, with no physical form and no vital points!

This was the Death Spider Emperor's ninth soul skill—Undying Body!

A life-preserving divine skill inherited from the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Death Spider Emperor!

It came with two effects.

First, even if her body was shattered to pieces, it could reform!

Second, it transformed her body into energy.

And these two effects shared one thing in common.

As long as her opponent was not god-level, they could never truly kill her while she was in this state!

This was Bibi Dong's greatest trump card!

It was also where she found the confidence to clash head-on with Qin Zheng!

"Qin Zheng!"

Bibi Dong let out a piercing cry.

"I want to see whether you can break my Undying Body!"

The instant her words fell!

"Martial Soul True Body—Soul-Eating Spider Emperor!"

Buzz—!

The aura around Bibi Dong suddenly changed!

The cold, deathly aura of the Death Spider Emperor was instantly replaced by something even stranger, even more sinister!

The martial soul phantom behind her also shifted from the Death Spider Emperor into another spider, more vicious and terrifying than before!

The Soul-Eating Spider Emperor!

Her second martial soul among her twin martial souls!

A seamless switch!

This was the terrifying aspect of twin martial souls!

The soul skills of the first martial soul could remain active while the soul skills of the second martial soul were already chained in!

"First Soul Skill—Half Moon!"

Boom!

Six spider spears abruptly extended from behind Bibi Dong!

Together with her arms, which had transformed into spider-spear shapes, there were eight spears in all!

The tips of all eight spears struck the ground at once!

"Buzz—!"

A powerful dark green radiance erupted as the first soul ring beneath her feet flashed!

The eight spears rose at the same time!

"Slash!"

With Bibi Dong's sharp shout!

Eight dark green, crescent-shaped blades of light slashed forward!

Each blade contained terrifying power equivalent to that of a fifty-thousand-year soul beast!

With all eight layered together, their power reached an utterly terrifying level!

The light blades tore through the air with piercing shrieks!

Wherever they passed, fine cracks were sliced into space itself!

Moreover, the trajectories of these eight crescent blades could change according to Bibi Dong's will!

Like eight tracking missiles, they locked firmly onto the white lightning descending from the heavens!

"Break for me!!"

Bibi Dong's shrill voice rang through the skies!

Boom—!!!

The eight dark green crescent blades slammed violently into the thick bolt of white lightning!

In an instant!

A terrifying energy shockwave surged outward in all directions like a raging tide!

The pressure of a Limit Douluo surged madly across the plaza!

The six Titled Douluo elders bore the brunt of it, blasted away by the shockwave and smashed heavily into the ground, vomiting blood!

The ordinary soul masters fared even worse, directly being knocked unconscious!

However.

Just as that terrifying pressure was about to spread throughout Spirit City.

"Buzz—!"

A colorless barrier suddenly appeared!

It was none other than the divine power of the Colorless Realm!

The rampaging pressure of a Limit Douluo, the instant it touched the barrier, seemed to be pinned down by an invisible giant hand, rapidly contracting!

In the end.

All the pressure was compressed within a radius of several yards around Bibi Dong!

Not a shred of it could leak out!

"Pfft—!"

Facing that pressure compressed to the extreme head-on, even though Bibi Dong had been fully prepared, she could not help but stagger back several steps!

A trace of crimson blood seeped from the corner of her lips!

A few loose strands of hair drifted through the air, making her look somewhat disheveled.

Clearly, though she had withstood this clash, it had not been easy for her!

"Cough, cough..."

Bibi Dong coughed softly twice, her energy-formed body trembling faintly.

She raised her head and stared fixedly at the black-robed youth in the sky, her eyes churning with deep apprehension and unwillingness.

Just his second soul skill... had forced her to use her ninth soul skill and the first soul skill of her second martial soul...

The gap... was far too great!

No!

This could not continue!

She had to take the initiative!

Otherwise, she would only become more and more passive!

Bibi Dong gritted her silver teeth and was about to activate the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor's second soul skill.

But at that moment!
