Insolence!

Spirit Hall, Douluo Hall.

Douluo Hall stood at the very summit of Spirit Hall Divine Mountain, carrying an air of towering above all beneath heaven. It was far smaller than the Papal Palace, with no lavish decorations. The entire structure had been built from ancient, unadorned stone.

At the center of Douluo Hall stood a Six-winged Angel Statue. More than ten meters tall and gleaming brilliant gold from head to toe, it spread three pairs of enormous wings from its back and held a massive golden sword aloft, pointing straight at the heavens.

Yet strange golden flames swirled around that enormous sword.

Outside the Papal Palace stood a similar Six-winged Angel statue, but compared to this one, it seemed to lack something.

If it had to be put into words, the one outside lacked what could be called a soul. The Angel statue within Douluo Hall brimmed with the power of sacred light and flame, while the one outside was merely a statue.

To reach Douluo Hall atop Spirit Hall Divine Mountain from the Papal Palace, one had to climb thousands of steps. The closer Bibi Dong drew to Douluo Hall, the stronger the disgust in her heart became. The urge to tear everything before her apart kept stirring within her. This was the negative influence brought by her status as the Rakshasa God Inheritor.

The Rakshasa God and the Angel God were opposing gods. The Angel God represented light and justice. The First Generation Angel God had sworn an oath: with the Angel Sacred Sword in hand, all suffering and sin in the mortal world would surely be eradicated.

As the Angel God's opposite, the Rakshasa God governed supreme evil, resentment, and slaughter. It controlled all evil in the world and represented every negative emotion that existed within it.

What Qian Xunji had done to Bibi Dong back then had utterly transformed her state of mind. She devoured Qian Xunji, obtained a way to enter the Rakshasa Secret Realm, and began the inheritance trial for the Rakshasa God Position. From that point onward, her ties with the Angel Clan had completely ruptured—and that was precisely what the Rakshasa God wanted to see.

The world did not contain only justice and light. On the contrary, where light existed, darkness would inevitably be born. If the Angel God sought to eliminate suffering from the world, then the Rakshasa God existed to bring suffering into it. And Bibi Dong herself stood on the opposite side of justice: evil.

There was only one purpose for this trip to Douluo Hall: disgust Qian Daoliu, while also making him notice the name Tang San. Though it was Bibi Dong who had killed Qian Xunji, so what? The news spread to the outside world still named Tang Hao.

She had no grudge against Tang Hao, but allowing a genius burdened by a sea of blood-deep hatred to grow would bring unimaginable losses to Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong did not wish to see that happen, but she was currently in the midst of a God Trial and could not wield her current full strength.

The Titled Douluo elders under her command were also not strong enough. If they carelessly suffered a reversal, that would be a true disaster.

Thus, in order to ensure that her own power would not be weakened, Bibi Dong chose to leave the decision to Qian Daoliu. If he wanted to avenge his son, that would be for the best. If he did not, it would not affect her either. No matter what, there was only one ending for the Tang father and son: death!

Just as Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan reached the gates of Douluo Hall, the tightly shut doors were pushed open by an invisible current of air. Before they even stepped inside, the two felt a suffocating Soul Power pressure descend upon them. Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, the weaker of the two, immediately fell to his knees.

"Bibi Dong, is Douluo Hall a place you can come to as you please? Without an order from the Great Elder, you have no right to enter!"

Following a thunderous rebuke, an elderly man dressed in golden robes embroidered with silver, his beard and hair both white, slowly emerged from Douluo Hall.

The golden robes represented the status of a Worship Hall elder. Compared with the black robes worn by Soul Douluo and the red robes worn by elders, they were incomparably more noble.

"It's the Second Worship!" Upon seeing who it was, cold sweat instantly soaked the back of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who was pinned down and unable to move by the Soul Power pressure. As a level ninety-five Super Douluo, facing the level ninety-eight Golden Crocodile Douluo, he did not even need to circulate his Soul Power to resist the pressure. A single glance was enough to reveal the gap between them.

After becoming a Titled Douluo, even a difference of one level was like heaven and earth, much less after level ninety-five, when the gap in Soul Power was as vast as a mountain range. A full three levels of Soul Power separated them—enough for Golden Crocodile Douluo to crush Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan like an ant.

"Insolence! I am the Pope!" Her gaze turned cold as the Golden Scepter in her hand smashed violently into the ground. With a bang, Soul Power pressure no weaker than Golden Crocodile Douluo's erupted from Bibi Dong's body, unleashing a white shockwave of energy.

The ground struck by the Golden Scepter began to crack, even though the steps had been made from special materials.

At the same time, an incomparably cold current of Soul Power lifted Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's body. Even though Bibi Dong could not currently use her full strength, one still had to consider the owner before beating a dog—let alone when Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was one of her most trusted aides.

"So Bibi Dong really is just as the Great Elder said." Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes and slowly withdrew his level ninety-eight Soul Power pressure. He said coldly, "Bibi Dong, what are you doing at Douluo Hall?"

"I came to speak with the Great Elder about something." Bibi Dong's expression was cold as frost. Although Golden Crocodile Douluo had withdrawn his Soul Power pressure, she still felt deeply displeased. This old bastard was clearly trying to intimidate her.

"Heh. The Great Elder is occupied with important matters. Do you think you can see him whenever you wish?" Golden Crocodile Douluo folded his arms over his chest, his face filled with mockery.

As the Second Worship of the Worship Hall, he did not regard Bibi Dong at all, aside from Qian Daoliu. If the Great Elder had not overruled all objections back then, how could she have become the Pope of Spirit Hall?

"You!" Bibi Dong clenched her pearly teeth, deep resentment flashing in the depths of her eyes. Since becoming Pope, who in Spirit Hall had dared speak to her like that? Now that Golden Crocodile Douluo had humiliated her to her face, even with all her endurance, she could not suppress the urge to kill.

Golden Crocodile, you old bastard. You truly are the Angel Clan's most loyal dog. Once I become a god completely, I will utterly destroy and erase every last one of you Angel Clan members!

Though her heart roared with rage, this was not yet the time to tear off all pretenses. Bibi Dong took a deep breath, ignored Golden Crocodile Douluo's provocation, drew in her Soul Power, and said flatly, "Great Elder, I know you are watching. Are you still not planning to let me enter?"

Seeing Bibi Dong ignore him, Golden Crocodile Douluo did not care. His purpose had only been to intimidate her, and now that it had been achieved, he immediately turned and returned to Douluo Hall.

"Come in."

Just as Golden Crocodile Douluo returned to Douluo Hall, a gentle voice came from within.

Bibi Dong froze slightly, then gripped the Golden Scepter tightly. After steadying herself, she walked into Douluo Hall with elegant steps.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan watched Pope Bibi Dong enter Douluo Hall. Seeing how calm and composed she appeared, he could not help but think, Could His Holiness the Pope's strength have also reached that legendary realm?

In that realm, only three people in the entire Douluo Continent had barely reached it. Two of them were known as the Two Great Mountains of the Soul Master world, meaning mountains that could not be surpassed.

As for the third, she was not a land-based Soul Master, yet she possessed strength that still left all Soul Masters far behind. She was even known throughout the Soul Master world as a demigod!
