Bibi Dong! Are You Rebelling?
Qian Daoliu stared in disbelief at the holy sword dissipating in his hand. He could hardly understand how this Soul Beast could be so powerful.
It had clearly only just managed to touch the threshold of God Level.
Yet Di Tian's Dragon God Claw had subjected him to a pressure far beyond that of an ordinary God Level.
Below, Di Tian straightened up, his golden vertical pupils fixed on Qian Daoliu. His imposing presence had scarcely weakened.
The next second, a pair of black dragon wings spread behind Di Tian, and he shot into the sky, plunging straight into the thick clouds.
A massive dragon claw tore through the curtain of clouds, revealing the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's true form.
Meanwhile, beneath the Lake of Life, Gu Yuena watched the human confronting Di Tian with an icy gaze. At last, she could hold back no longer.
As Qian Daoliu watched the enormous black dragon, he suddenly sensed a presence faintly emanating from the Star Dou Great Forest, one that made even his heart tremble.
"Another expert?"
Sensing his lord's presence, Di Tian immediately suppressed his own.
That gesture took on a deeper meaning in Qian Daoliu's eyes.
He had thought this black dragon was the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest. Now it seemed a true god was likely hidden within this Soul Beast holy land.
Did the Soul Beast Clan have gods too? Qian Daoliu had never heard of such a thing.
Besides, he had come to Star Dou only to kill Tang San, that uncertain factor. His senses told him Tang Hao had already taken Tang San beyond the range of his divine sense.
There was no point in continuing the fight.
Once Qian Daoliu arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, the heavenly screen had devoted a portion of its display to the scene.
Everyone on the Douluo Continent had seen Qian Daoliu's battle with Di Tian.
[Chen Xin: I thought that if I cultivated diligently, I could keep pace with this angelic Great Enshrined and avenge my father's death. But how could Qian Daoliu be this strong?]
His words shocked the continent's experts.
Sword Douluo's father had died at the hands of Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined. Now that was some juicy gossip!
Of course, besides marveling at Qian Daoliu's strength, many were also astonished by Di Tian's power.
The continent's Titled Douluo all essentially knew that the rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest were the hundred-thousand-year-old Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.
But judging by this black dragon's presence, didn't he have to have seven or eight hundred thousand years of cultivation?
After witnessing Qian Daoliu's current strength, Bibi Dong was thoroughly panicked.
There had already been a gap between her and Qian Daoliu. Now that he had reached God Level, the gap had grown almost despairingly wide.
At that thought, Bibi Dong looked up at the Conversion Spirit Array above Spirit City. After several days of operation, it had finally released a fresh supply of Spiritual Energy.
Qian Daoliu happened to be away. This was a perfect opportunity!
Bibi Dong immediately soared into the sky, charging toward the Conversion Spirit Array.
When the enshrined of the Worship Hall noticed what Bibi Dong was doing, their expressions changed drastically.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo took the lead, activating his Golden Crocodile King Avatar and sweeping his tail toward Bibi Dong.
A trace of viciousness flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"You old bastard, you're courting death!"
"Martial Soul Avatar!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Space-Rending Abyss Slash!"
A pair of crossed, emerald blades warped space as they slashed toward the Golden Crocodile King.
With cultivation infinitely close to that of a Peerless Douluo, Bibi Dong seized the upper hand with that single move.
The slash stripped most of the golden scales from the Golden Crocodile King that Golden Crocodile Douluo had transformed into. His enormous body plummeted, nearly crushing the Worship Hall below.
Azure Luan and the others arrived moments later. Seeing that Bibi Dong had injured Golden Crocodile, they were instantly overcome with fury.
"Bibi Dong, how dare you rebel!"
The five enshrined activated their Martial Soul Avatars together, intending to join Golden Crocodile in suppressing Bibi Dong.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei!"
At Bibi Dong's shout, a golden figure and a black figure appeared back-to-back in midair above the Pope's Hall.
Eighteen Soul Rings shone in response to one another.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Bipolar Stillness Domain!"
In an instant, an invisible domain enveloped the six enshrined.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong instinctively wanted to kill all six, but after some thought, she decided against it.
For one thing, even with the six restrained, killing them would take her considerable effort.
If killing them delayed her absorption of Spiritual Energy until Qian Daoliu returned, she would be in for a world of suffering.
Bibi Dong sealed the six men's Martial Souls and handed them over to the Pope's Hall's Titled Douluo to be guarded for the time being.
She went beneath the Conversion Spirit Array and began absorbing Spiritual Energy.
Only when the Spiritual Energy entered her body did Bibi Dong realize just how powerful it was.
Her earlier estimate had been conservative.
Without the boost from Spiritual Energy, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move from Qian Daoliu.
But now, that was no longer certain.
The Spiritual Energy rapidly transformed the Soul Power in Bibi Dong's body, and her two Martial Souls also began to fuse with its help.
In just a few breaths, Bibi Dong broke through to Level 99.
Golden Crocodile and the others glared viciously at Bibi Dong as she grew ever stronger above them. "When big brother returns, he must kill that woman!" they raged.
Qian Daoliu still knew nothing of the upheaval in Spirit Hall.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided against confronting the Soul Beast Clan head-on.
Qian Daoliu spread his six wings, turned, and became a streak of light that vanished beyond the horizon.
Di Tian: ...
Gu Yuena: ...
Wait, was there something wrong with this human's head?
Dou Qi Continent.
After returning to the main hall, Hun Tiandi summoned Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue.
"Xiao Yan, Qian Renxue, I called you both here because I have some matters to entrust to you."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan had a faint premonition that something was wrong. Then he heard Hun Tiandi say:
"The connection between the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World has now been opened, and I have slain a commander of the Flame Demon Clan. The Flame Demon Clan will surely not let this rest."
"Next, I will head to the Great Thousand World first. I'll leave matters on the Dou Qi Continent to you... Xue'er, you should concentrate on your cultivation for now."
Xiao Yan nodded his agreement, and Qian Renxue saw no problem with it either.
Having seen how high the heavens were, she longed for great power all the more.
The Dou Qi Continent was far more brutal than the Douluo Continent. If she wasn't strong enough, she would only cause trouble for her master and the others.
Xiao Yan then asked a question. "Master, I heard that Flame Demon commander say you are now the Plane Master of the Dou Qi Continent. What does Plane Master mean?"
Hun Tiandi explained, "You can understand it this way: the entire Dou Qi Continent has a will of its own, and the vessel for that will is the Plane Spirit. By gaining control of the Plane Spirit, one can become the Plane Master and completely command all the power of the entire world."
"I am now an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign. With the Power of the Plane, I can contend with a Saint Grade for a short time."
Only then did Xiao Yan understand. No wonder his master had grown so powerful; it was because he was the Plane Master.
Qian Renxue raised her hand and asked, "Master, since you have the Power of the Plane to strengthen you, why are you leaving the Dou Qi Continent for the Great Thousand World?"
Hun Tiandi smiled faintly and looked toward the passage between the two worlds.
"Naturally, to cut the weeds and dig up the roots!"
