Chapter 353

Then Bibi Dong's eyes instantly hardened, and the soul body gathered in her hand by the black vortex became pitch black. Bibi Dong's sorrowful eyes stunned Qian Renxue, who watched in disbelief as she pressed the soul body into her own body.

As these souls, filtered and purified by the black vortex, were absorbed into Bibi Dong's body, a surge of purple aura filled the air. "Ah!!!" Bibi Dong's painful cry rang out, bringing Qian Renxue back to her senses. The ever-increasing aura emanating from Bibi Dong made her realize that Bibi Dong was actually trying to become a god in this way...

Divine Skill: Angel Radiant Sun!

After only a moment's thought, Qian Renxue attacked Bibi Dong directly. Instantly, countless golden Angel Phantom appeared in the dark sky and slowly solidified. As Qian Renxue pointed her sword, the countless Angel Phantom in the sky swung their swords together, attacking Bibi Dong and the black vortex. The golden sword energy that filled the sky was like a torrential rain, directly illuminating the night.

However, when faced with Qian Renxue's god-level attack, a huge purple magic circle suddenly appeared in front of Bibi Dong, absorbing all the attacks. No, it shouldn't be said to absorb, but rather to devour them. Countless golden sword rain attacks were swallowed up by the purple magic circle, and strangely enough, countless miserable screams came from inside this purple magic circle.

Looking at the purple magic circle appearing in the sky, Ye Yuxuan couldn't help but sigh, "Truly a genius! Even without the help of my Holy Spirit Cult, Bibi Dong can still achieve godhood with this Death Spiral Magic Array. Although the speed will be much slower, as long as the war continues, she can absorb enough energy. My Holy Spirit Cult Sect has been researching this secret technique for thousands of years, Bibi Dong has actually completed its prototype in just over ten years. It's truly remarkable..."

Zhong Meng, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, didn't actually agree with Ye Yuxuan's sentiments. In his opinion, Bibi Dong's magic array was far too rudimentary. However, looking at the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire and the fleeing army of the Spirit Hall Empire behind them, he felt somewhat unwilling and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, asking, "Leader... should we still pursue them? Those fleeing Spirit Hall Empire soldiers are valuable nourishment..."

Ye Yuxuan waved her hand and said, "What's the rush? What we lack right now isn't nourishment. As long as the person is still alive, isn't this inexhaustible? What we lack is verification... Why do you think I would give her so much top-quality nourishment for nothing, just because of Bibi Dong's promise? That's laughable. Who would believe the words of Rakshasa God who has been tormented by nightmares for years to the point of madness and who has inherited the power of ultimate evil?"

He paused, then continued, "And don't underestimate Qian Renxue, even at night..."

After using the Death Spiral Magic Array to block Qian Renxue's attack, the large number of souls entering her body transformed into astonishing Soul Power. This quantitative change led to a qualitative leap, and a purple gate suddenly appeared in the sky. Looking at that purple gate, Bibi Dong finally couldn't help but burst into maniacal laughter. "It's appeared! It's appeared!!! The Gate of Inheritance!!! Rakshasa God!!! You've finally decided to hand over your Godhood to me, hahaha!!!"

A purple-clad female phantom appeared within the Gate of Inheritance, her voice ethereal. "Give it to you? Bibi Dong, you truly surprise me. Even without the interference of the Asura God sense, I didn't believe you could complete the inheritance. But I never expected you to find a different path, using this method to complete the God Trial —no, to forcibly skip God Trial. Rather than saying I'm passing on the Godhood Inheritance to you, it's more like you're stealing it... Fine, if you want it so badly, then it's yours..."

Upon hearing the Rakshasa God's voice, Qian Renxue immediately shouted to stop her, "No!!! We cannot hand over the Godhood to her. Godhood obtained through such evil methods and the sacrifice of countless lives must never be given to her!!!"

The phantom of the Rakshasa God turned around. "Oh? So you're the new generation of Angel God... Even if you inherited the position of Angel God, you should know that we've always been enemies. Why should I listen to you? Besides... I had no choice. I'm really looking forward to it. After fighting with that rigid and hypocritical woman who claims to be righteous for so long, Bibi Dong, I'm really looking forward to your future performance!"

Qian Renxue knew she couldn't change Rakshasa God's mind. A wave of regret washed over her. Why hadn't she used her full strength to stop Bibi Dong? Even destroying all the souls within that purple array would have been better than her becoming Rakshasa God. Her momentary weakness had led to endless disasters for the Douluo Continent. Now, not only were the souls within the purple array beyond saving, but even if Tang San arrived and the two of them joined forces, let alone at night, how could she possibly withstand them in broad daylight...?

Now she could only try her best to make up for it. "Divine Skill: Gone Forever!" Just as Qian Renxue flew a short distance towards Bibi Dong, a golden halberd came from behind with a whooshing sound. Qian Renxue did not expect that she had delayed for so long and that Tang San had arrived. She had no choice but to turn around and block with her sword.

"When!"

As night fell, Qian Renxue's strength diminished, and she was pushed backward by the halberd. At this moment, Tang San appeared, gripped the halberd, and continued to exert force. This strike directly slammed Qian Renxue into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

But the next instant, golden cracks appeared on the ground, and it exploded with a loud "boom." Blood trickled from Qian Renxue's lips as she unleashed dozens of sword energies into the air, her beautiful eyes fixed on Tang San. But the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened— Bibi Dong had vanished; she had entered the Gate of Inheritance...

What to do now? If it were Tang San, he could use his speed advantage to keep him in check, and the situation would be reversed by daytime. However, Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God is First-Level God completely opposed to the Angel God. In terms of speed, it is absolutely no less than the God of Angels of the night. He can only have a slight advantage during the day, while nighttime... is when the Rakshasa God is at its strongest.

Not far away, Ye Yuxuan, who had witnessed Bibi Dong enter the Gate of Inheritance, was incredibly excited. "It really is possible! It's really possible to skip the rules of the God Trial and directly obtain Godhood... Rules can be broken, so even without Godhood, as long as quantitative change can lead to qualitative change, I can, like the first generation of Angel God and Sea God, condense Godhood and become a god... And I still have my biggest trump card..."

Ye Yuxuan calmed her inner turmoil, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Tang San in the sky. She suppressed her thoughts and said, "Qian Renxue, what should we do now? Zhong Meng, lead the pursuit! Slaughter the entire Spirit Hall Empire, let them become the foundation for the Holy Spirit Cult Sect's unification of the continent, their nourishment!"

"Bang!"

Qian Renxue stomped her feet on the ground and instantly flew into the air. The Angel Holy Sword in her hand emitted a dazzling golden light. Then, she swung the sword at the ground, and a golden light screen a thousand meters long appeared. The dark creatures such as the undead, demons, and Mammon who tried to pursue the Spirit Hall Empire turned to ashes the moment they crossed the light screen. The ordinary soldiers and Soul Master of the Heaven Dou Empire were scorched by the intense True Solar Flame the moment they came into contact with the light screen and had to stop in pain in front of it.

Ye Yuxuan stared at the incredibly exaggerated thousand-meter-long golden light barrier before her, her eyelids twitching slightly. Then, she nonchalantly teased, "Impressive, Qian Renxue. As expected of the God of Angels representing justice, even at night, the power of your casually cast Divine Barrier is so formidable. This light barrier can block anyone below the god level from passing through, let alone us, whose attributes are countered by yours. But what's the point? In your current state, can you stop people, let alone gods? Tang San couldn't have caught up with you, but now you insist on protecting those people..."

Tang San looked at Qian Renxue, who stood silently before the thousand-meter-long light barrier, awaiting her battle, and shook his head, mocking, "You gave up your greatest advantage—speed—to protect these humans and fight me head-on at night. I must say, Qian Renxue, I admire you, but I also despise your pedantry. You've already become a god, yet you're willing to die for these ordinary people... Angel justice has truly brainwashed you too deeply; no wonder you refuse to submit to me."

Qian Renxue shook her head, pointing her holy sword at Tang San and the others. "This isn't being pedantic, nor is the justice of Angel. I... am fighting for all the good things on this continent. You selfish people will never understand. Whether you're fighting to become gods for yourselves or to poison the world for your own personal grudges, your goals have always been for yourselves. But I... besides those I care about, I also fight for everything in this world worth protecting. Enough said, let's fight, Tang San!"

Seeing Qian Renxue's arrogance even at night, her condescending gaze and provocative gesture infuriated Tang San. His anger flared, and he gripped the Golden Trident tightly. "She's nothing but Angel God of the night, just making excuses for herself. Justice, beauty—it's all just a hypocritical mask you wear! Divine Skill: Sun of the Sea!"

Not far away, Shui Bing'er and the others led the people of the Spirit Hall Empire in retreat. Looking at Huo Wu, who kept turning back, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but pinch a golden stone hidden in her clothes. Feeling its integrity, she felt a little calmer. Her gaze turned to the Far North, and after a moment's thought, she reassured everyone, "Don't worry, mortals can't cross the Divine Barrier cast by Qian Renxue. What we need to do now is lead everyone back to Spirit City as quickly as possible. There's a statue of the Angel God there, which has accumulated the Power of Faith from the Spirit Hall over the years. When Qian Renxue opens it, even if Bibi Dong and Tang San join forces, they won't be able to break through."

Huo Wu was naturally aware of all this, but the constant battles erupting behind her, turning the sky golden and then blue, kept her worried. It was nighttime, and Sister Xue was no match for Tang San, while her Empress sister... Bibi Dong had entered the Gate of Inheritance and was about to become a god. Although she still couldn't understand why her gentle Empress sister would sacrifice so many lives to become a god, even cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, she knew that once Bibi Dong became a god, Sister Xue would definitely...

Just as Huo Wu was thinking this, a soft, sweet voice came from beside her, but the words surprised everyone. "Damn it... I should have had Tianshuang kill all these Holy Spirit Cult members when we were at the Star Luo Empire's border..."

The person who spoke these words was none other than Ye Lingling, the woman whose life-attribute abilities were all healing. At this moment, her voice was still so gentle, and her face was also gentle, showing no trace of the style that matched her words just now, but these words were indeed spoken by her.

Sword Douluo actually agreed in his heart, but he knew it was useless, so he could only say, "No one can predict the future. However, Lingling, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone said this, not even Rongrong, but this does seem a bit out of character for you..."

Sun of the Sea's attack was indeed incredibly powerful, and it was nighttime, but Qian Renxue had no intention of taking it head-on. With her speed, dodging it would be incredibly easy. However, Tang San seemed to have already anticipated her thoughts. The giant water ball wasn't aimed at her at all, but rather at the very back of the retreating army of the Spirit Hall Empire.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue could only curse, "Despicable!" Then she transformed into a golden light and arrived in front of the water sphere in a few flashes. She swung her sword, but how could a hasty attack break Tang San's Divine Skill? She immediately switched from offense to defense, blocking the water sphere with her sword and constantly adjusting her strength to change the trajectory of the water sphere.
