"The Rakshasa God! A whole Rakshasa God-did none of you see her?!"
In the Douluo God Realm, Tang San was all but losing his mind.
First, someone had sealed off the Douluo Plane. Then Shrek Academy had been destroyed by Spirit Hall, which had come roaring back from the Phoenix God Continent.
And immediately afterward, the Angel God and the Rakshasa God, whom he should have killed ten thousand years ago, had returned to life one after another.
Clearly, the being on the Douluo Plane was deliberately targeting him.
Moreover, his opponent had long since discovered all the arrangements Tang San had made on the Douluo Continent and was now destroying them one by one, right before his eyes.
Bibi Dong's reappearance only confirmed it.
Before ascending, Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong had all possessed strength at the pinnacle of a Third-Class Deity.
Although they had never bathed in the Divine Realm's immortal spirit qi or truly acquired the power of a First-Level God,
their divine positions were, in essence, those of First-Level Gods, granting them overwhelming suppressive power over ordinary Third-Class Deities.
In other words, if Tang Hao had already become the Douluo Continent's Plane Master, and Ah Yin its life source,
the two of them might have stood a chance against Bibi Dong together.
But as things stood, Tang Hao and Ah Yin were merely ordinary Third-Class Deities. They could not possibly be Bibi Dong's opponents.
"Bibi Dong, if you hurt my parents, I swear upon my authority as the God King of Law Enforcement that I will never let you get away with it!"
Tang San's eyes nearly split with rage. He could no longer remain calm.
The Asura Demon Sword in his hand unleashed one blood-red sword wave after another toward the Douluo Plane, but every attack was futile.
Even a full-force strike at the God King level vanished into nothingness upon touching the invisible barrier around the Douluo Plane, unable to stir so much as a ripple.
"This..."
This time, the God of Destruction had also witnessed just how powerful the mighty being who had sealed off the Douluo Plane truly was.
Although he was somewhat stronger than Tang San, even he could only retreat temporarily before Tang San's frenzied, all-out attacks.
Yet attacks powerful enough to destroy a planet teeming with life in an instant could not break a barrier their opponent had casually erected.
The gap in strength was simply too vast!
"The Phoenix God Continent? Could it be that person from back then..."
"How is Bibi Dong still alive?!"
Outside Shrek City, the Soul Masters of the Clear Sky Sect were sorrowfully identifying and gathering their companions' remains.
The Clear Sky Sect's numbers had already dwindled, and the residual force of the Level-Twelve Fixed Soul Cannon Shell had just killed another seven or eight of them.
They had all been young members of the sect. Weaker than their elders, they had failed to escape the blast radius.
The white-haired were burying the black-haired, and waves of anguished sobbing rose all around.
But when they looked toward their sect leaders, their eyes were filled with hatred.
For Da Ming and Er Ming, their sect leaders, showed not the slightest grief. All their attention was fixed on Bibi Dong as she slowly walked into Shrek City.
Ten thousand years ago, Bibi Dong had personally led Spirit Hall's Titled Douluos in a hunt for the two of them.
In the end, gravely wounded and unable to prevail, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape had chosen to sacrifice themselves to Tang San, snatching Bibi Dong's victory away at the final moment.
They had never imagined that, despite being the victors who ultimately ascended to the Divine Realm, they would encounter Bibi Dong again ten thousand years later.
And Bibi Dong remained as powerful as she had been when she became a god ten thousand years ago-so powerful that she made them tremble.
Da Ming and Er Ming felt as though a pair of invisible hands had plucked the Bibi Dong of ten thousand years ago out of the river of time.
Even if they joined forces at their peak, they would be no match for the current Bibi Dong.
"Although the Clear Sky Douluo and the Blue Silver Emperor are also Third-Class Deities, they're no match for Bibi Dong as she is now!"
Er Ming spoke in a deep, rumbling voice.
"Big Brother, what do we do now?"
Da Ming shook his head helplessly at the question, then gritted his teeth and said,
"No matter what, we have to protect them-and Xiao Qi!"
"Otherwise, we..."
Just then, two streaks of light, one gold and one black, suddenly descended from the sky.
The Battle Saint Ape and Di Tian, the two Soul Beast kings of the Phoenix God Continent and the Douluo Continent, appeared before the Clear Sky Sect's members at the same time.
When Xuan Zi saw the Battle Saint Ape looking at him with a beaming smile, he shuddered in fright.
The beating he had suffered earlier was still vivid in his mind. The sight was triggering his PTSD.
"Heh, I told you a plain old fight would be boring. And look, here's a pair of decent punching bags!"
Golden light flickered in the Battle Saint Ape's Fiery Eyes of Truth, and a thoughtful smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Di Tian, I heard the Soul Beasts on your Douluo Continent can't become gods. Aren't these two Divine Officials with Soul Beast bodies?"
"A little monkey and a little spicy snack stick. How should we divide them up?"
Di Tian looked at Da Ming and Er Ming and spoke softly.
"I never expected you to have followed that Sea God into the Divine Realm."
Di Tian was no stranger to the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. After all, their bloodlines and strength ranked among the finest of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
He had once invited Da Ming and Er Ming into the core region, hoping to help them break through to the ferocious beast level, but they had refused.
Yet now, these two Soul Beasts had become the leaders of a human Soul Master sect.
"Di Tian, what is the meaning of this? Are you planning to attack us?"
Da Ming cast a wary glance toward the Battle Saint Ape.
Although he was a Divine Official, for some reason, he could not fathom the depths of the Battle Saint Ape's strength.
"You two want to go help Shrek Academy? Then there's no way I'm letting you through that easily!"
The Battle Saint Ape scratched his head and chuckled.
"I happen to have my eye on the Star Dou Great Forest's Emperor Auspicious Beast, but this fellow Di Tian won't let me take her away."
"But if we fought, who knows how many innocent Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest would die? I don't want to hurt my own kind, either."
"So I made a wager with him. Whoever defeats one of you two faster gets to decide who the Emperor Auspicious Beast belongs to!"
Er Ming's eyes widened, and he could not help speaking up.
"You don't want to hurt your own kind? Aren't we your kind, too?"
The Battle Saint Ape twirled the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, then pointed its tip straight at Er Ming.
"You two ascended to the Divine Realm, only to help that damned Sea God meddle with the lower realm however he pleased!"
"Instead of being proper beasts, you became a human's dogs-and even helped an evil god who devours mortal souls at will!"
"Today, the Golden Cudgel in my hand is going to loosen up your bones!"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Vengeful Evil Rakshasa!"
Heaven-shaking purple evil power transformed into a crescent-shaped torrent of divine power, slashing straight toward Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
Bibi Dong held the purple Evil Scythe, the evil power surging around her sending every Shrek Soul Master in the Sea God Pavilion into a panic.
Tang Hao's expression turned grave as he raised the Clear Sky Hammer, seven-colored light spilling from it.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
