Poseidon Descends

Bibi Dong fought alone, battling desperately.

By now, few people on Douluo Star found her Martial Soul Avatar hideous. Instead, they thought she was beautiful.

As for Tang Zhen and the other two Clear Sky Sect elders who had defected to the enemy, countless people across the continent cursed them through the Sky Curtain. The reputation the Clear Sky Sect had built over the years plummeted because of their betrayal.

To break through their combined blockade, Bibi Dong took several heavy blows from their Clear Sky Hammers. Her organs were injured, and she spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood

before finally tearing open a gap in their encirclement.

The Third Elder of the Clear Sky Sect immediately moved to stop her.

Boom!

Bibi Dong's clone blew itself up, cutting off the three elders' pursuit.

She charged toward the Vampire high above without holding anything back.

In cities and sects across Douluo Continent, and among the Soul Beasts in the forests, countless hearts prayed that Bibi Dong could interrupt the sacrifice and stop Myotismon from descending.

The Vampire watched her approach with cold eyes. He swept his right hand through the air, and a black swarm of giant bats surged out of the blood mist. Their wings whipped up a vicious, chilling wind that forced Bibi Dong back dozens of meters.

Tang Zhen and the other two seized the opening. Pouring all their Soul Power into their Clear Sky Hammers, they swung at Bibi Dong as she stumbled backward.

At the last possible moment, three massive black hammers fell from above amid a crushing gale, sending the three elders flying.

Bibi Dong turned and saw Tang Xiao, with the Fifth and Seventh Elders of the Clear Sky Sect beside him. All three were badly hurt, and the Fifth Elder had lost a leg.

"Cough... cough!"

Tang Xiao spat blood, then roared, "Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder! Turn back now, while you still can!"

Tang Zhen sneered. "Hah. Tang Xiao, you still can't see what's happening. You should join us, then persuade our ancestor Tang Chen to submit too. Becoming a Vampire grants us endless life and tremendous power. Our lord has promised me that when the Evil God descends, the Clear Sky Sect will remain the continent's foremost sect. We might even replace Spirit Hall."

"If you keep clinging to your foolishness, the Clear Sky Sect will be destroyed."

Bibi Dong ignored the Clear Sky Sect's infighting and used the opening to charge the Vampire again.

He repeated his earlier move, summoning another vast swarm of bats.

But Bibi Dong was ready.

She cast her Third Soul Skill, Nether Spider Web, again and again, briefly holding off their attacks.

Within a few breaths, she reached the Vampire. Two sharp spider legs shot forward and pierced his body.

Her strike landed, and Bibi Dong immediately began draining his life force.

The Vampire merely gave her an eerie smile.

"Too naive."

The next instant, pain tore through Bibi Dong's abdomen. A hand had punched straight through it.

Bang!

With a sweep of his right hand, the Vampire severed the spider legs embedded in his body.

Then he kicked Bibi Dong away.

Just as the Vampire was about to awaken the ritual, the sky suddenly darkened.

A huge dragon claw reached down from above and seized him.

Di Tian had returned at top speed.

"Die!"

Di Tian roared and squeezed. Blood gushed through the gaps between his claws.

But the blood turned to mist and swept a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye, where the Vampire almost instantly re-formed.

Whoosh!

At that very moment, Qian Daoliu arrived with the Angel Sword and drove its blade through the Vampire's chest.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Angel's Breath!"

Radiant holy light erupted from Qian Daoliu and the Angel Sword, forcibly dissolving the power of darkness. In the blink of an eye, the Vampire's body melted away in the light.

Countless people cheered. Spirit Hall's people were especially ecstatic, leaping to their feet. This was their Grand Worship after all.

"Pfft...!"

Qian Daoliu looked up at Di Tian and gave a slight nod. Then Di Tian's expression changed. Qian Daoliu dodged sharply, but he was still too slow.

Pain stabbed through his abdomen, and he spat a mouthful of blood.

Qian Daoliu slowly looked down. An arm had pierced straight through him.

"Brother!"

"Ninth Soul Skill: Azure Luan's Cry in the Eastern Suburbs!"

Azure Luan Douluo arrived just behind him. The sight turned his eyes red, and he unleashed his strongest attack at the Vampire.

But the Vampire fought dirty. He grabbed Qian Daoliu and held him out as a shield.

"No!"

Just as Azure Luan Douluo's attack was about to strike Qian Daoliu, a huge dragon claw swept in and shattered it.

Qian Daoliu broke free of the Vampire's grip and flew to Azure Luan Douluo's side.

But the gaping wound in his abdomen had left him barely alive. Without immediate treatment, he might die right there.

Fortunately, the other Titled Douluo soon arrived, and Bo Saixi immediately drew on the life force in the seawater to heal him.

Above them, Di Tian continued fighting the Vampire. Neither could gain the upper hand.

"S-so strong!"

Gu Rong stared at the battle, murmuring under his breath.

The others nodded in agreement.

Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, Bibi Dong, and the others had thought Di Tian was only as strong as a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. Now it was clear they had been wrong.

"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Turns!"

Ning Fengzhi immediately strengthened Di Tian, and the others rushed in to help.

"Hahaha! Good, come on! I've been waiting for you!"

The Vampire burst out laughing in the middle of his fight with Di Tian.

Oh no!

Everyone's heart clenched.

The massive blood-red pattern on the ground flared brighter, and its area instantly doubled.

Blood-red threads shot from the array and bound every Titled Douluo.

They all went weak as their Soul Power and life force drained away at terrifying speed.

The Vampire's face filled with satisfaction.

"You fell for it. Even draining the life force of the thousand people below wouldn't be enough to awaken my lord Suranos!"

"My plan from the start was to use their lives to activate a stronger array—one that could capture you Titled Douluo and drain your life force."

With that, the Vampire turned his gaze on Di Tian.

"Especially you. Even I'm astonished by how much life force you have."

"If you became a Vampire, you'd surely be a hundred, even a thousand times stronger than you are now!"

Di Tian gritted his teeth.

"In your dreams!"

"Never mind. I'll awaken my lord first!"

The Vampire raised both hands above his head. His hoarse, deep howl rang across heaven and earth. "Awaken, my lord Suranos!"

"This is bad."

Di Tian, who had raced there as fast as he could, looked aghast.

A roar like mountains collapsing and the earth splitting erupted.

The ground shook. Before everyone's horrified eyes, a giant beast burst from beneath it—fifty-five meters tall, weighing forty-six thousand tons, with enormous bat wings and bone-white fangs.

It was Vampire Monster Suranos, the creature shown in the Sky Curtain's images of Ultraman Tiga World.

An overwhelming aura of evil swept across the land like a tsunami, chilling everyone to the bone.

Suranos did not attack. He hovered motionless, his scarlet, slit-pupiled eyes sweeping indifferently over the people below.

With Suranos's appearance, the blood-red threads binding the Titled Douluo and Ferocious Beasts vanished.

Tang Zhen and the other two immediately dropped to their knees in excitement.

"We welcome our lord Suranos!"

Only after kowtowing nine times did they rise and turn to Tang Xiao.

"Hahaha! Well, Tang Xiao?" Tang Zhen and the other two threw back their heads and laughed, their voices feverish with triumph. They looked from Tang Xiao to Tang Chen, who had just arrived. "Nothing on Douluo Star can stand against our lord. If we submit and accept the Blood Clan's blessing, we can preserve the Clear Sky Sect and gain endless life and mighty power. Why wouldn't we?"

Tang Xiao's face darkened. "Nonsense! I'd sooner die than join these creatures of darkness. You three betrayed our sect and the continent. One day, you'll pay for it!"

Nearby, the newly freed Tang Chen frowned in thought. His gaze traveled between Suranos's immense body and the three elders. No one knew what he was thinking.

Bo Saixi saw him and hurried over to tug gently at his sleeve, warning him with her eyes not to waver. Then she flew to the front of the group. Seeing herself appear on the Sky Curtain,

she raised the Sea God Trident, which shone with dazzling light, and shouted. Her voice carried through the Sky Curtain to every corner of Douluo Star. "Evil fiend, your rampage ends here!"

"Today, my lord, the great Sea God Poseidon, will destroy you!"
