At first, the Rakshasa God, who was observing everything in the Divine Realm, only wanted to burst out laughing. He never expected that Bibi Dong would one day be capable of killing the heir to the Sea God.
He even imagined that the Sea God's heir must have delicious blood, and he fantasized about what expression the man would make when he witnessed it.
In an instant, the Rakshasa God saw that the situation had drastically changed. A powerful soul master suddenly appeared, shattering his fantasy.
Before he could sigh, his eyes suddenly focused—and then he smiled. What did he see? That soul master's body reeked of the Asura God's foul stench, barely concealed.
As an enforcer god, one must not intentionally break divine laws. The Rakshasa God walked out of his temple and headed toward the Destruction God's palace.
How could he not report to the God of Destruction, especially when the Asura God had blatantly broken the Divine Realm's rules and interfered with the mortal world?
Seeing the Asura God suffer defeat was the happiest thing in his long life as a god—nothing else compared.
---
One day in the Divine Realm equaled one year on Earth. When the Rakshasa God stepped out of his temple, the battle in the mortal world was still raging fiercely.
Tang Chen's appearance caused Tang Hao and Tang Xiao to lose their composure. They were struck down by Spirit Hall elders and severely wounded.
However, he didn't go to save them. His blood-red eyes locked onto Qian Daoliu in the distance. He had only one thought in mind: to kill the man wielding the Angelic Sacred Sword.
Seeing Tang Chen ignore everything and charge directly toward Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong quickly pulled back and ascended into the sky. She looked down at Bo Saixi, who was vomiting blood, and at Tang San, who was shrinking behind her.
Take advantage of the injured—there would never be another chance like this.
Bibi Dong raised the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand as evil energy gathered above. Dark energy burst forth toward Bo Saixi. This time, she was determined to completely resolve this major problem.
Unfortunately, Bibi Dong hadn't truly reached level 99. Though Bo Saixi had been gravely injured by their earlier combined assault, she still retained the strength to fight.
The Poseidon Trident slammed into the ground, shattering it. A vast wave spread outward with Bo Saixi at the center.
Poseidon's light bloomed, healing her wounds while neutralizing Bibi Dong's evil aura.
But Bibi Dong wasn't going to let her recover. She unleashed a shockwave of dark energy to penetrate the waves and launched her Rakshasa Scythe again.
Each strike was lethal and aimed at Tang San, forcing Bo Saixi to split her focus to defend against Bibi Dong's attacks and protect Tang San behind her.
As Bo Saixi's face grew increasingly pale, Tang San, standing behind her, kept changing expressions. Having only recently advanced to Soul Emperor, he had no way to interfere in this war.
Without the hair crystal, without the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes, without Lou Gao, he had not yet completed the Tang Sect's high-level hidden weapons.
As for standard hidden weapons like the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, in this situation, even if used, they wouldn't be able to break Bibi Dong's body-protecting soul power—useless.
After being in this world for so long, this was the first time Tang San felt powerless. In the presence of powerhouses like Senior Poseidon, he was still far too weak.
The war would not pause for Tang San's sorrow. Though Qian Daoliu was no match for Tang Chen, he could still hold his ground.
Aside from the battlefield of these four unrivaled powerhouses, Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo had fallen into a disadvantageous position, though it wasn't very obvious.
The Qianjun Jiangmo brothers fought in tight coordination against Sword Douluo, who was supported by Ning Fengzhi. Neither side could overcome the other.
Soster and Li Dan fought two clan leaders, while four Titled Douluo from Sea God Island and two from the Clear Sky Sect faced five Spirit Hall elders.
Since Seahorse Douluo and Sea Ghost Douluo were slightly weaker, and Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were severely injured, both sides were locked in back-and-forth battle for the time being.
This made things difficult for soul masters below Titled Douluo level in the Heaven Dou Empire camp. Against the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Corps and Angel Corps, their resistance was futile.
In Spirit Hall's camp, the number and strength of Soul Douluo and Soul Saints greatly surpassed the Heaven Dou Empire. In a world where personal power mattered most, this had a huge impact.
Even though Ge Long led his troops bravely, he was still pushed back again and again.
Eventually, Seahorse Douluo had to be pulled from the Titled Douluo battlefield to hold off several high-level Soul Douluo from Spirit Hall, slightly stabilizing the situation.
Qian Daoliu, who was fiercely battling Tang Chen in the sky, saw this and his face turned gloomy as water threatened to drip from it.
He never expected that even with Bibi Dong and himself, plus nine Titled Douluo, they still couldn't defeat Tang San.
This was because Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect chose to protect Ning Fengzhi the entire time and did not attack.
This realization terrified him. The Golden Crocodile had sent him a message earlier, saying that their strength was comparable to Star Luo.
Spirit Hall had gone all out, but Qian Daoliu did not believe for a second that those sects and clans had done the same. Not to mention faraway allies, even Sea God Island and the Star Crown Sect surely had Titled Douluo of their own.
While fending off Tang Chen's attacks, he glanced at Ning Fengzhi, leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the crowd. Bone Douluo's refusal to attack was clearly a deliberate act to let Tang San go.
Qian Daoliu knew then that this assault had completely failed. Tang San survived unscathed, and the Clear Sky Sect retained several unmatched warriors.
He guessed that the one controlling Tang Chen must be a certain god, and this god was on good terms with the Sea God, hence commanding him to save Tang San and Bo Saixi.
Thus, Tang Chen could be seen as an unrivaled Douluo-level puppet fighter joining Tang San's camp.
Seeing that Bibi Dong still couldn't defeat Bo Saixi quickly, Qian Daoliu began to consider a ceasefire and decided to withdraw Spirit Hall's forces to defend their current territory.
Using the Angelic Sword, he parried the Clear Sky Hammer of Tang Chen and retreated with its force. Flapping his angel wings, he flew above the Spirit Hall army.
"Spirit Hall, retreat—fall back to Jialing Pass!"
Jialing Pass, the southern gate of Tiandou City, had already fallen under Qian Daoliu's assault. Upon hearing the order, Spirit Hall's forces quickly retreated, leaving chaos in their wake.
Although Tang San and the others had won, there was no joy in their hearts. Jialing Pass was easy to defend but hard to attack. Retaking this city would be unimaginably difficult.
More importantly, Sea Dragon Douluo had exhausted his life force in this battle to protect Tang San and had now returned to the embrace of the Sea God.
That was a level 95 Super Douluo—a devastating combat force—and it was a great pity to lose him in vain.
