Episode 198
Walking into the forest, Tang San halted. Xiao Wu’s soul returned to her body.
“You keep watch, I’ll look for tracks first.”
Tang San sat down after sharing his thoughts with Xiao Wu. The Star Dou Great Forest was so big that just randomly searching would be fruitless. At moments like this, Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain could undoubtedly show it’s greatest effect.
The spirit beasts in the forest’s outskirts weren’t too powerful, Xiao Wu keeping watch plus the Blue Silver Domain’s own abilities was enough and spare to protect Tang San.
Sitting down cross-legged, Tang San laid the Seagod Trident across his knees. His eyes brightened simultaneously, shining like two sapphires, the Blue Silver Emperor’s eight spirit rings appeared at the same time a circular blue ripple expanding from his body, spreading out in a fan shape with a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
Each plant could transfer the Blue Silver Domain. As early as before he reached rank seventy, before his Blue Silver Domain had evolved, he could examine a vast area. Now relying on the Blue Silver Domain’s vastly strengthened abilities after its evolution, as well as his Boundless level mental strength, even he himself couldn’t guess just how far it could spread. But he could be certain that, a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, was the best place to fully use the domain.
Auras of jubilant vitality began to connect with Tang San one by one, the tremendous force of life constantly rushing towards him, instantly relieving the bit of tiredness after the journey. Even though his eyes were closed, Tang San’s field of view spread close to infinitely with a thought. Each plant in the forest turned into his eyes.
He saw numerous spirit beasts with their own cultivation and shape, scenes of the strong preying on the weak. Of course, even more were one ancient plant after another. The thriving life force within the forest infected Tang San, giving him some new understanding of his Blue Silver Domain’s evolved ability, Boundless Nature.
Only, right now he didn’t have the time to study this deeper. All his energy was placed on searching. Along with his perception constantly spreading, more and more plants joined in the Blue Silver Domain. Each plant released a trace of vitality that poured into the domain. Even though the Blue Silver Domain was growing larger and larger, there were also more and more plants within it. Tang San’s mental strength not only didn’t decrease substantially, on the contrary it faintly tended to rise. And his Boundless level mental strength also swiftly analyzed the information brought by the numerous plants, not like before when too much information couldn’t be controlled, and the Domain could only cover a certain range.
However, no matter how powerful it still had limits. When Tang San’s perception spread more than halfway through the Star Dou Great Forest, even he couldn’t quite endure the excessive information. But by now his search also had results. In the information brought by the plants, he very soon found some clues to what he was looking for. Focusing his mental strength, he narrowed the search range. Like this, his Blue Silver Domain could reach even farther.
Even though XIao Wu was just sitting next to Tang San, she could still feel the flourishing will to live in the Blue Silver Domain he emanated. Provoked by this will to live, Xiao Wu was somewhat astonished to discover that her soul’s consumption in her body was reduced somewhat, and was also even more stable. Like this, she could stay in her body for even longer.
After a full hour of work, Tang San finally opened his eyes. But he didn’t withdraw his Blue Silver Domain, instead looking at Xiao Wu with a grim expression, speaking in a low voice:
“Let’s hurry. Da Ming and Er Ming are in a bad spot.”
Finished speaking, he grabbed the trident with one hand, the other directly holding Xiao Wu’s slender waist. Releasing the Eight Spider Lances behind him, he leaned forward, and quickly moved forward through the Star Dou Great Forest, carried by eight resplendent spider lances.
Xiao Wu hurriedly asked:
“Ge, did you find them? How are they now?”
Tang San said:
“My mental strength search reached their general area, still very far from here. If we rush at top speed it will still take twelve hours to arrive. At present, Da Ming and Er Ming’s lives still shouldn’t be in danger. But they’re running, and Bibi Dong and her people should be close behind. Da Ming and Er Ming’s auras are very unstable, suddenly strong and suddenly weak. They should be injured, and very possibly seriously so. We have to rush to save them. Just now I used my mental strength to connect with them. Even though it was too far to truly communicate, I could still draw them to run in our direction. Like that we can converge a bit sooner. Don’t worry Xiao Wu. Heaven helps the worthy, they will definitely be alright.”
Even though he said so, Tang San’s heart was still extremely heavy. With Da Ming and Er Ming’s strength as the kings of the forest, the auras he detected were still so unstable, it showed how serious their injuries were. These two forest kings could rely on their gravity control domain and slow domain to escape, but they couldn’t pull open the distance to those powerful pursuers. Fully using a domain required the support of energy, and the two forest kings clearly hadn’t been tangling with those people for just a day or two. How long could they still hold out?
The trees in the Star Dou Great Forest grew extremely densely, and there was also a lot of underbrush. Flying inside the forest wasn’t realistic, but relying on the Eight Spider Lances terrain advantage, Tang San could be said to reach the pinnacle of his speed, constantly passing through the tiny openings in the foliage like a golden streak of light.
Xiao Wu saved her soul strength to be able to help Tang San in battle, and returned to Tang San’s body, letting him place her body in the Hundred Treasure Purse. Like this Tang San could unhindered reach the greatest possible speed.
Time passed second by minute, and through the Blue SIlver Domain’s connection, Tang San could clearly sense himself constantly getting closer to the two forest kings. But their unstable auras were growing weaker and weaker. They had already come into contact with the powerful auras behind them several times, and each time they did, their auras would clearly weaken a bit.
Elsewhere in Star Dou Great Forest, the enormous Titan Giant Ape was madly rushing between the trees, the Sky Blue Bull Python curled around him with its head facing backwards, constantly releasing one cyan ring of light after another.
They were already dyed red with their own blood, and the injuries the Sky Blue Bull Python had suffered were especially severe. Of its originally more than thirty meter long body, the last seven or eight meters were already severed, and the wound was still constantly dripping stinking black blood. Its eyes had lost their former luster, and with each ring of light it released, his eyes would grow a bit duller. Even the rest of his body was covered in clusters of scars, surrounded by large amounts of black corruption. His body would occasionally release a few bursts of smoke, and where the smoke passed the plants would wither, clearly showing how terrible the poison afflicting him was.
The Titan Giant Ape’s circumstances were a bit better than the SKy Blue Bull Python. But his body still held several wounds, especially a large sword wound on his chest was so deep the bone showed, and one could even vaguely see his beating heart within. If this wound had reached a bit deeper, it might have already cut his heart.
Even though he was already completely weak, the eyes of the two giant spirit beasts were filled with rancor and unwillingness. This battle had already gone on for too long, they had been constantly fighting a running battle for the better part of a month.
Those humans attacking them really were too powerful, especially those two fellows who last time used their Spirit Fusion Ability to trap them. If not for them again using the same ability to to temporarily lock down the two spirit beasts, making them suffer serious injuries, it wouldn’t be so easily for these people to chase them. Da Ming’s severed tail and Er Ming’s chest wound were left from that time.
Beyond those two, there was also one female human who was especially powerful. Even Da Ming and Er Ming’s powerful bodies couldn’t block her attacks head on.
Fighting and running, if they hadn’t possessed domains that just slowed the opponent’s pursuit, if they weren’t exceptionally familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest, they might have already been killed.
Neither Da Ming or Er Ming had lower intelligence than humans, they of course knew what these humans were chasing them for. They were unwilling, absolutely unwilling to let them snatch away their spirit rings and bones. Even in death, they wouldn’t let them succeed. Therefore, even though the two great spirit beasts were growing weaker and weaker, they still ran as hard as they could, without a thought of giving up.
“Second, I almost can’t hold out, don’t care about me, run on your own. While the green hills last, there’ll be wood to burn. Didn’t we get a signal for aid. You hurry and meet with them. I’ll hold up these despicable humans. If they want my spirit ring and spirit bone, they’re dreaming. I’ll self destruct rather than give them any benefits.”
The resentment in Da Ming’s eyes was already at its peak.
In terms of strength, Da Ming was above Er Ming. In the more than ten days of fighting, he had also suffered more enemy attacks, taken heavier injuries, especially the poison inside him was constantly eroding his body, his life rapidly fading.
“No. Big bro. As long as I still have one breath left, I won’t give up.”
Er Ming roared. He fiercely stomped on the ground with both feet, and a circle of intense golden light spread out behind him, once again slowing the enemies approaching behind them. The intense gravity within the range of the light even turned the plants to dust.
“Er Ming, let me down. Neither of us will survive like this. Hurry and go.”
The Sky Blue Bull Python Da Ming struggled on Er Ming’s back, but his body was held tightly by Er Ming, and no matter what he couldn’t get free.
“Big bro, do you believe I could still survive? That poison has already invaded my heart.”
“What?”
Da Ming was shocked. The bull head looked down, and then saw that the insides of the wound on Er Ming’s chest had also equally turned black.
Er Ming said bitterly:
“Bg bro, you were right. Both of us can’t escape the clutches of those bastards, no matter what. But since they dare come, then they definitely have some way to prevent us from self destructing our spirit rings and spirit bones. We have to pull open the distance, with enough time we can do it.”
“This group of bastards.”
Da Ming roared. Sharply turning his head back, an intense cyan light spat out. Amidst an explosive sound, an intense energy collision made everything behind them turn into dense mist, but Da Ming’s eyes became even darker.
Bibi Dong chased neither quickly nor slowly. If Tang San saw her, he would definitely be shocked to discover that Bibi Dong’s legs were gone, from her waist down was a giant spherical body, and from this spheroid grew eight coarse long legs, spurring her to walk as if flying. Those eight legs had a lot of similarities to Tang San’s Eight Spider Lances, only with large tufts of green fur, as well as sickening mucus constantly dripping to the ground with puffing sounds. Intensely corrosive. Bibi Dong was never willing to show her spirit in front of others before, just because her appearance after fully using it was too ugly. It wasn’t just her lower body that changed, the skin on her upper body was also covered with a purple black armor, and even her face was hidden by a carapace. Below both eyes grew another four little eyes. No matter how you looked at it, she looked like a giant poisonous spider. This was Bibi Dong’s first spirit, Death Spider Emperor.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, nine spirit rings were neatly arranged around her. A super spirit ring arrangement, Title Douluo level power.
Bibi Dong wasn’t a bit anxious. Behind her followed five elders, including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. In the operation this time, she had brought altogether six Title Douluo level powers. Actually, she very clearly understood that just her strength alone was enough to kill those two great spirit beasts, but for the sake of insurance, this time the elite had moved out.
Everything proceeded according to her plan. Experiencing more than half a month of pursuit, the two forest kings running ahead were already close to dried up lamps.
Bibi Dong could completely erupt with her true strength to deal with them, but right now she wasn’t in a rush. Targeted by her special ability, these two forest kings basically didn’t have a chance to run. She fully understood the poison she had released, the faster Da Ming and Er Ming ran, the faster the poison would work. Before long, they would fall dead on their own.
These two were after all the kings of the forest, so Bibi Dong chose this method because she was afraid they would lash back when facing death. After all, of the six Title Douluo she had brought this time, one had already died from the two forest kings’ strength. The Spirit Empire was just in need of manpower, so Bibi Dong didn’t want to see any more losses.
Only, the two great spirit beasts were even more tenacious than she had imagined, and also possessed even stronger vitality than they had expected. They could block their pursuit while madly escaping even when they had suffered such serious injuries. Hundred thousand year spirit beasts were quite impressive.
Bibi Dong’s heart was now extremely excited. As long as she obtained the spirit rings and bones of these two hundred thousand year spirit beasts as well, she had absolute confidence in attacking the final step. The stronger the two forest kings in front of her were, the higher the quality of their spirit rings and spirit bones. And the more advantageous they would be for her to attack the final pass. Thinking of this, Bibi Dong’s mood improved a lot. Getting them now seemed like just a matter of time. Moreover, it wouldn’t take much more time.
She basically didn’t fear long nights or many dreams, unless the empire’s high priest Qian Daoliu was here, none could stop her. But, why would Qian Daoliu come here too? Besides him, even if the whole nest of the two great empires’ powers came out, they would still be unable to stop her from completing the hunt. The five Title Douluo behind her were enough to stop the attacks of any spirit master.
In order to prevent the two forest kings from lashing back at death’s door, Bibi Dong had even ordered the chase to slow down, always keeping a kilometer’s distance with the two forest kings. But her mental power was rigidly locked on them, easily following, quietly waiting for the poison she had poured into them to take effect.
As she watched, Da Ming and Er Ming’s groundspeed was already growing slower and slower. Er Ming had already begun to stagger, and the time he could maintain the domain energy behind him was also growing shorter.
Bibi Dong laughed coldly, talking to herself:
“To be able to persist this long wasn’t easy. Collapse. Become my spirit rings and spirit bones, it’s your honor.”
“Your Majesty, do we launch another round of attacks?”
Ghost Douluo whispered.
Bibi Dong waved her hand,
“No need. You five disperse, the later it is the more alert we must be. I’m determined to have these two spirit rings. There can be no mistakes.”
“Yes.”
The five Title Douluo quietly separated from Bibi Dong, forming a semicircular encirclement of the two great spirit beasts. All they had to do was maintain control, and wait for the spirit beasts to die from the poison. WIth the current condition of the forest kings, even if they joined hands it would be very difficult to attack any other Title Douluo. At the same time, these five Title Douluo also completely spread out their mental power, scattering their pressure around them, making any spirit beasts in the surroundings that might appear not dare approach. As long as they waited Bibi Dong to add a last attack to the dying spirit kings, this mission would be successfully completed. Even so much that Bibi Dong didn’t need to attack. As long as the two great spirit beasts died from the poison, the result would be the same.
Da Ming and Er Ming’s eyes began to show despair. They knew they couldn’t hold out. THey wanted to rise up and kill one more enemy, but, those Spirit Empire powers were each as slippery as ghosts. Just as they were about to attack, the enemy would immediately retreat, pulling open the distance and wait for them to retreat, when these enemies would again faintly maintain the encirclement.
The two forest kings’ speed could no longer compare to these Title Douluo level powers. They could only helplessly feel their bodies weaken bit by bit. They now also understood the enemy’s goal, these shameless humans would exhaist their life force, until they attacked at the last moment.
Bibi Dong looked like she was heedlessly following, but her mental power was always tightly watching the two great spirit beasts. If she wanted their spirit rings, then the last person to kill them had to be her. She had to guard against the two great divine beasts killing themselves or each other. Her spirit abilities were already prepared, she absolutely wouldn’t give them the chance.
Da Ming and Er Ming naturally also sensed Bibi Dong’s frightful mental power. Er Ming gradually came to a halt, and placed Da Ming from his back on the ground. Then he sat down. They weren’t prepared to keep moving. If they continued, they would only exhaust their vitality. By stopping, perhaps they could still hold back their fate.
Er Ming’s chest heaved violently. The poison had already entered his heart. If he didn’t possess such a powerful body, his life would already be long gone.
Da Ming and Er Ming looked at each other, Er Ming whispered:
“Big bro, I’ll cover you. Perhaps she can kill one of us, but the other will definitely have a chance for suicide.”
Da Ming saw the despair and helplessness in Er Ming’s eyes. Suddenly, his eyes brightened a bit,
“No, wait a bit longer. Perhaps, we still have a chance not to die by their hands.”
Just at this moment, before Da Ming had finished speaking, suddenly, a gaudy golden light brightened in the Star Dou Great Forest, whether it was Bibi Dong or the other Title Douluo, their eyes were all drawn to this suddenly appearing golden light.
The golden light appeared behind the indeterminately drifting Ghost Douluo. This line of golden light appeared without warning, like a golden pillar of light that came out of nowhere, directly enveloping Ghost Douluo.
Ghost Douluo screamed miserably, the black currents of energy surrounding him collapsing in an instant, exposing his true features. Violent pain made his whole body contort. Five meters in front of him, a figure quietly appeared.
A giant cloak hid this person’s figure, only in his right hand was a four meter black trident. That golden light shot from his forehead.
“Careful!”
The appearance of his person suddenly made Bibi Dong feel intense danger, and she hurriedly ordered.
“Kill him!”
Bibi Dong herself didn’t act blindly without thinking, because she had to target the two great divine beasts in order to kill them personally. Compared to Ghost Douluo’s life, the two great divine beasts’ value was way higher.
As an agility attack type Title Douluo, Ghost Douluo’s reaction should have been extremely fast. But at this moment, he basically couldn’t produce any spirit ability. If that golden light had fallen on an ordinary person, they would only have felt comfortably warm, or even more than comfortable, even common illnesses would be cured. But, when it fell on Ghost Douluo, it was no less of a hell than magma, his whole body was as if it had been set aflame, the violent pain reaching into the depths of his soul.
Ghost Douluo’s spirit was extremely peculiar. He had once died in his childhood, but by chance, his soul was able to reattach to his body, thereby awakening his spirit, producing an extremely unusual spirit, that was Ghost. In some sense, his soul was his spirit, and he himself was a living dead.
What Ghost Douluo feared the most was the kind of sacred light like the Seraphim spirit released. That kind of light was the nemesis of his spirit. And the golden light he faced, was even more terrifying than the sacred light of the Seraphim he had once sensed. The divine power it contained precluded any chance of him breaking free, and he was even more unable to release any spirit ability. He did his utmost to urge his spirit power to endure, wanting to use Title Douluo level spirit power to break free. As long as he could break free, he would at most lose a few ranks of spirit power, but could stay alive. But, facing an immobile opponent, would the power in front of him releasing the golden light use only that golden radiance?
This suddenly appearing person was naturally Tang San. Actually, he had already arrived as early has half a stick of incense ago. But, he at the same time also felt a mental strength not much weaker than his own. Therefore, he didn’t dare directly hide, and rather hid with the power of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, thoroughly camouflaging his aura and accumulating his mental strength inside, thereby avoiding discovery.
When Tang San saw Bibi Dong, he was also quite shocked. But he calmed down very quickly, analyzing the current situation. As he saw Bibi Dong and her subordinate Title Douluo always keep a certain distance from the two great divine beasts, as well as the two great divine beasts’ weakening vitelity, Tang San understood Bibi Dong’s way of thinking. And just at this moment, Bibi Dong’s subordinates spread out to keep the two great beasts from escaping, then giving Tang San his present chance.
Tang San clearly discovered that Bibi Dong’s mental strength was completely focused on Da Ming and Er Ming, and could give them a mental attack at any time, and then launch a destructive attack. Thus, as long as he was a bit careful with his mental power, it was impossible for Bibi Dong to discover it.
When picking the target to attack, Tang San considered all his abilities, and ultimately chose Ghost Douluo.
Tang San of course had his reasons for attacking Ghost Douluo. Among the five Title Douluo Bibi Dong brought, Tang San was only familiar with Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, and had also seen a portion of their abilities. Taken alone, these two Title Douluo weren’t very strong, neither was a Title Douluo with peak level spirits. But their position in Spirit Hall was extremely high, and for a very simple reason, Because these two Title Douluo possessed a formidable Spirit Fusion Ability. If it launched, even rank ninety five or ninety six Ttile Douluo would find it very difficult to block. Last time it was because they trapped Da Ming and Er Ming that led to Xiao Wu finally having no choice but to sacrifice herself for Tang San.
If he could kill one if these two first, then, it would undoubtedly make these Spirit Hall powers lose an extremely powerful restraint ability, even so much that it might be the strongest restraint ability they had.
Next, after many times use, especially after the battle against the Slaughter King, Tang San’s understanding of the Seagod’s Light had deepened a lot. This seemingly gentle light had a formidable evil vanquishing power. Even when it wasn’t used with the Seagod Trident, it still had an extremely powerful effect on evil. Giving it the Seagod’s name wasn’t just a name. Ghost Douluo’s body was covered by a ghost dance, making it impossible to see his true features, dark and cold, clearly not a just way. The Seagod’s Light would extremely possibly have a certain restraining effect on him. In an ambush, it would very possible create an opportunity for Tang San to instantly kill him. Even if he couldn’t kill him, with the help of the Seagod’s Light, Tang San still had a chance to seriously injure him.
Of course, there was another reason Tang San chose Ghost Douluo rather than Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo possessed the Odd Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum spirit, and had once tried to accept Dai Mubai as disciple. Even though Tang San didn’t have any good opinion of him, he loathed him far less than Ghost Douluo. With so many considerations, Ghost Douluo became Tang San’s first target of attack.
Relying on the Vast Sea Barrier to quietly hide behind Ghost Douluo, the Seagod’s Light exploded in an instant, with even better results than Tang San had anticipated. The other four Title Douluo all around instantly used their mental power to target him, and swiftly threw themselves in this direction, intensely pressuring Tang San, wanting to rely on their formidable auras to pressure Tang San into being unable to attack, and even quickly kill him while he was awed.
Unfortunately, even though four Title Douluo added together could bring Tang San a lot of pressure, compared to the Seagod’s first trial, this bit of pressure was far from enough to hinder Tang San. Relying on his Boundless level mental strength, Tang San straight up ignored them. The Title Douluo closest to Ghost Douluo’s position was three hundred meters away. Three hundred meters, to a Title Douluo, was of course close to nothing, it could be covered in practically just a couple of breaths. But to Tang San, this couple of breaths was already enough to finish a lot of things.
Seeing Ghost Douluo struggle in pain under the Seagod’s Light, Tang San inwardly exulted. He knew that he’d accidentally, unexpectedly found Ghost Douluo’s fatal weakness. Without any hesitation, the Seagod’s Light instantly changed direction, and the black trident stabbed out.
Ghost Douluo just felt his whole body relax, and that golden light that left him in so much pain turned away from him. But, before he could gather his strength to dodge, golden light flashed in front of him again, and light ten times more intense than before covered his body in an instant. The giant trident had already reached his chest.
Right now, all he could do was raise his hands and condense all his spirit power to try and block this attack. He understood that as long as he could escape this time, then, his comrades would rush over and tear this ambusher’s corpse into ten thousand pieces. But, this time he couldn’t block.
On the three great prongs of the Seagod Trident, the golden light moved just like waves. How was this true divine weapon something Ghost Douluo could block after just having been seriously injured by the Seagod’s Light? The sharp blade, blossomed with devil breaking power. Ghost Douluo only felt the spirit power he had condensed between his palms fly off, unexpectedly slipping past either side of the Seagod Trident. The next moment, an ice cold feeling hit his whole body, and that gaudy golden light rushed out through his back.
“No——”
Chrysanthemum Douluo watched the wide golden light polearm thrust out from Ghost Douluo’s back, intense golden light instantly spreading to each part of Ghost Douluo’s body, and he couldn’t help roaring furiously. His speed reached the limit, and from his hand his Odd Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum flew out, straight towards Tang San.
But he understood that, at this moment, everything was already too late. Title Douluo Gui Mei no longer had any chance to return alive. The death energy his body radiated had instantly been evaporated by the giant polearm. Ghost Douluo’s body was already completely frozen, unable to move a step.
The Seagod Trident, one hundred eight thousand jin heavy, let alone when Ghost Douluo was already corroded by the Seagod’s Light, all his death energy substantially routed, even if his body still maintained ideal condition, how would it be possible to blood the Seagod Trident with a physical palm. Tang San’s spirit power wasn’t much lower than his, and his strength was even above his, plus the Seagod Trident’s complete power unleashed, even the Continent’s once number one power Tang Chen needed to use a divine tool of similar quality to block.
Pu—— Ghost Douluo’s body was madly purified by the Seagod’s Light, turning into a wisp of black smoke rising into the air, a black spirit bone falling from his body. Pulling back the Seagod Trident, the left prong just pulled on that spirit bone, and at the same time, teleportation launched. The next moment, Tang San was already a hundred meters away. He didn’t approach the two forest kings, but rather quickly retreated. Because, if he charged forward, his purpose would be revealed, and would moreover expose himself to the attacks of five Title Douluo including Bibi Dong. But by withdrawing, not only could he pull open the distance by a step, he could simultaneously make the opponents hesitant. From the fact that Bibi Dong still hadn’t acted, one could see that she was afraid something would happen on Da Ming and Er Ming’s side.
Several loud sounds erupted from Tang San’s previous location, especially that full force Odd Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum created a hundred meter diameter hole in the surroundings.
“Old ghost!”
Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out, throwing himself to where Ghost Douluo just died, shuddering with tears falling from his eyes.
He and Ghost Douluo had been together for more than sixty years, a lifetime. Their feelings were quite deep, even surpassing blood related brothers. Now seeing Ghost Douluo suddenly die in front of him, not even leaving a corpse behind, Chrysanthemum Douluo was in pain worse than death.
Whether to Chrysanthemum Douluo or to the others, all this happened too fast, almost so they now still hadn’t reacted. From the appearance of that cloaked figure to the death of Ghost Douluo, it had all passed in a flash. Instantly killing a Title Douluo was inconceivable. Even if it was a sneak attack, it was still unheard of. Even though Bibi Dong was confident that her strength was unreasonable, she would still need to use her strongest spirit abilities to have a chance of instantly killing a power on the Title Douluo level.
That Tang San could do it naturally wasn’t because his strength surpassed Bibi Dong’s, but to a very great degree due to luck, and the Seagod Trident’s restraint to Ghost Douluo being too severe, plus attacking from ambush, had all established this move. Of course, that Ghost Douluo knew nothing of the Seagod Trident, also became an important factor.
THe moment after teleporting, Tang San again vanished in the forest. The Blue Silver Domain spread out, easily hiding his aura, and at the same time restarting the Vast Sea Barrier let him hide once again.
Without looking at the spirit bone Ghost Douluo dropped, he just quickly stuffed it into his Hundred Treasure Purse, grabbing the Seagod Trident, Tang San quietly circled around to another direction. In order not to be discovered by Bibi Dong, he completely stored his own mental power within the Vast Sea Barrier’s protection. Like this, even if Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi was here, it would be very difficult for her to discover him as long as he didn’t attack.
Ghost Douluo’s sudden death equally shocked Bibi Dong. She had just thought it was impossible for someone to stop her from taking those two forest kings. But the instant death of an elder, and the Ghost Douluo with the spirit fusion ability at that, immediately made her furious heart alert. The mental strength frozen on the two forest kings immediately spread out, searching vigilantly, and at the same time she ordered the four Title Douluo to stay close to her.
They had already lost two Title Douluo in this operation, and even though Bibi Dong didn’t care about their lives, they were the core strength of the Spirit Empire. Of course she would feel her heart ache.
“Your Majesty, old ghost…… you must avenge him!”
Chrysanthemum Douluo who had always treated Bibi Dong’s orders as his life was now almost unable to contain himself, the other three Title Douluo also silently watched Bibi Dong, inwardly feeling a bit like sympathetic.
“Elder Yue Gang, calm down. Ghost Douluo’s death grieves me, but this person is very strong, it’s possible they aren’t weaker than me. Stay within ten meters from me, and be careful. We’ll kill the two forest kings first, to avert more accidents.”
Bibi Dong’s voice contained her mental strength, and with the sound wave strike, the four Spirit Empire elders’ minds shook. Chrysanthemum Douluo’s expression calmed a bit, but rancor in his eyes grew even deeper, sharply watching all around, wishing he could tear Ghost Douluo’s killer into ten thousand pieces.
After Tang San retreated a distance, he didn’t have any contact with Da Ming and Er Ming, and also didn’t try launching any more attacks. The four Title Douluo Bibi Dong brough were cautiously observing the two great divine spirit beasts, and he stayed motionless, quietly watching.
Da Ming and Er Ming personally saw Ghost Douluo being killed. They were spirit beasts, especially sensitive to scent, and even though Tang San held the Seagod Trident, wrapping himself up in the cloak, they still immediately identified Tang San’s smell. The two great divine beasts’ eyes instantly brightened.
As they say, adding flowers to brocade is easy, sending charcoal in a snowstorm is difficult. When besieged by this many Spirit Hall experts, that Tang San could come in time, warmed the hearts of the close to despair two great divine beasts. They felt even more that Xiao Wu didn’t pick the wrong person. And the strength Tang San showed shocked them. Even they couldn’t help shivering from the Seagod Trident’s light.
Hope reignited, Da Ming and Er Ming looked at each other, then turned from sitting to crawling. Faint energy fluctuations began to condense around them. They say a centipede dies but never falls, even more so for formidable hundred thousand year spirit beasts. Even though they were deeply wounded, their potential overdrawn, their auras again went from chaotic to serious. Tang San’s appearance, besides giving them hope, also gave confidence. Not confidence of surviving, but confidence of not becoming Bibi Dong’s spirit rings.
Bibi Dong’s expression hidden under the purple carapace was a bit ugly. The originally perfect plan was wrecked by the sudden enemy appearance. Now waiting until the two great divine beasts died on their own from the poison wasn’t realistic. Since that hidden enemy could escape her mental detection, his strength was obvious. Just in case he finally attacked and killed the two spirit beasts, even if it was just one, it would still be an enormous loss to her. THat person was very fast, and could hide as well, his attack strength was also so powerful. It was very possibly an agility attack Title Douluo. But, in Bibi Dong’s impression, agility attack types weren’t that powerful.
The Seagod Trident also equally shocked her. She was someone who approached that boundary, and equally fully rejected that sacred aura, that trident was a divine instrument, there was no doubt about it.
While moving forward, Bibi Dong’s mental power simultaneously reached the ears of the four Title Douluo around her,
“I will soon attack the two forest kings. You four guard in all directions, now matter in which direction that person appears, you must block him. Until I’ve killed them both. Understood? Ghost Douluo’s death was because of the sneak attack and attribute restraint, you don’t have to fear. When you’re prepared, it won’t be so easy for that person to kill you. Don’t dishonor your status as Title Douluo.”
The stronger they were, the more accurate their judgement of the opponent. Bibi Dong saw very accurately, even though Tang San was strong, it wasn’t really possible for him to ambush four ready Title Douluo. Instantly killing Title Douluo wasn’t something that could be done just any time.
Da Ming and Er Ming fixedly watched the approaching Spirit Empire people, constantly giving low roars. Er Ming was surrounded by a rising yellow light, cyan light flickering around Da Ming, especially the horns on the bull head even more caused angry ripples.
Bibi Dong’s eyes were completely serious. Facing two hundred thousand year spirit beasts counterattack at death’s door, even she wasn’t fully confident, even more so when there was a hidden enemy nearby.
In a flash, Bibi Dong leaned forward close to the ground, her purple carapace instantly spreading, her whole body becoming an enormous spider, the green hairs on her eight spider legs simultaneously turning purple, she emanated a faint purple light, and where it passed, everything withered.
The other four Title Douluo simultaneously moved a couple steps sideways, getting away from her purple light. This was Bibi Dong’s spirit avatar, Death Spider Emperor.
The purple light instantly grew more intense, and the eighth black spirit ring around Bibi Dong suddenly flashed, dazzling purple light congealed on the left side of her body, light and shadow playing, suddenly another identical Death Spider Emperor.
This was the eighth spirit ability of Bibi Dong’s first spirit, Spider Emperor Clone. Effect: the spirit ability creates a clone with one hundred percent of the main body’s strength, without intelligence, must be controlled.
This one hundred percent strength wasn’t just the physical body, but also included spirit abilities. Of course, only the previous seven spirit abilities, not the eighth and ninth.
The spider emperor clone leapt under Bibi Dong’s control, stepping in front of her, and accelerating forward along with the main body, charging towards Da Ming and Er Ming like two purple phantoms.
The third spirit ability flashed, and two purple spider webs shot out simultaneously, shrouding Da Ming and Er Ming in a dense purple energy. Those spider webs quickly expanded in midair, and even though Da Ming and Er Ming were enormous, when the spider webs reached them they were already large enough to wrap around.
At the same moment, Bibi Dong’s main body and the Spider Emperor Clone’s fourth spirit ring brightened, and one more than one meter long dark purple spike after another covered every piece of the two bodies, the purple carapace also becoming especially thick. This was her fourth spirit ability, Thistle Spider Armor. This was a purely defensive ability, but at the same time the purple spikes were poisonous.
Under these circumstances Bibi Dong also used her full strength, attacking without neglecting defense.
Just at this moment, Bibi Dong’s charge suddenly slowed, because her mental power suddenly sensed two mental fluctuations appear within range, and the two fluctuations connected with Da Ming and Er Ming. This sudden mental wave was extremely high level, even the other four Title Douluo couldn’t sense it, let alone interrupt it.
What was he doing? This was the thought that Bibi Dong couldn’t suppress, and her original charge also instantly halted. The next moment, she clearly saw the two great divine beasts’ eyes brighten.
Two spheres of yellow green light suddenly appeared behind them, immediately spreading out in the air, just in time to block the two spider webs she launched. Using spider webs against spider webs, it was Tang San’s Spiderweb Restraint.
Launching the attack, Tang San also appeared at the same time. But the next moment, Tang San, Da Ming, and Er Ming disappeared simultaneously.
This time, Tang San directly appeared golden blue, golden blue light spreading out, covering the sky and the earth, instantly transforming the surroundings into a golden blue sea. It was the Blue Silver Domain’s Boundless Nature.
Da Ming and Er Ming roared at the same time, the Slowing and Gravity Domains also simultaneously launching. Cyan and yellow light halos extended along with the Blue Silver Domain. Whether Bibi Dong or the four Title Douluo, immediately felt like their bodies had frozen. Under Da Ming and Er Ming’s full strength, their movements slowed completely.
“Attack!”
Bibi Dong roared. Even though she had brought six Title Douluo, none of them had a domain. Only she herself possessed that ability. Intense purple light spread out from her, intent on using domain against domain. But, in the end Bibi Dong couldn’t get her way. The purple light she released was blocked by a thriving vitality, and simply couldn’t spread to Da Ming and Er Ming.
Indeed, Bibi Dong’s domain was very strong, absolutely surpassing Tang San or the two spirit beasts. But, in one against three, and moreover confronting three different kinds of domains, it was instantly difficult for her to avoid being suppressed. Even more when this was the Star Dou Great Forest, the ideal environment for the Blue Silver Domain. Her domain was completely blocked. At the same time the golden blue world lost the figures of Tang San, Da Ming and Er Ming.
Bibi Dong’s domain was called Death Domain, the innate domain of the Death Spider Emperor, with extremely powerful effects, altogether three once she had reached her current cultivation. All her own attributes were amplified by ten percent, all the enemy’s attributes reduced by twenty percent, and were unable to use any stealth or teleportation abilities within its range, and at the same time caused mental deterrence, her own mental strength boosted by twenty percent, the enemy’s mental strength reduced by twenty percent. But the most terrifying effect was the extremely toxic environment.
Wherever the domain reached was filled with the Death Spider Emperor’s poison. Extreme corrosion and diffusion, and could also lower the enemy’s speed by ten percent. If they were poisoned, their bodies would constantly weaken, until death. If it was used in battle, it was a catastrophic existence to common soldiers.
Da Ming and Er Ming had also previously lost out because of this domain, and adding in Bibi Dong’s own formidable attack abilities, they had ended up like this.
But no matter what was said, a formidable domain would still have effect within the enemy’s domain. The Blue Silver Domain drew support from the Star Dou Great Forest’s countless plants to form a barrier of life, using the formidable vitality to keep away the death domain’s death energy. Influenced by the Slowing and Gravity Domains, Bibi Dong’s was enormously restricted, Da Ming and Er Ming’s domains were equally powerful, and could not only influence living bodies, but also energy forms. The three great domains released simultaneously not only made those four Title Douluo unable to display their actual level, but simultaneously also resisted Bibi Dong’s domain.
Bibi Dong didn’t advance recklessly, the scene of Tang San killing Ghost Douluo had left too deep of an impression on her. Even though her domain couldn’t restrain the opponent, Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain was also restrained by her, unable to envelop her. But, her heart was already in chaos. Her mental lock on Da Ming and Er Ming’s mental signatures had been forcefully broken when they were enveloped by the Blue Silver Domain. In other words, she had already lost the two great divine beasts’ position.
These circumstances were of course caused by Tang San. Actually, Tang San wasn’t any less shocked than Bibi Dong. When he saw Bibi Dong before he had only felt that this Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff was powerful, but he had no idea to what degree. But it may be assumed it was still Title Douluo level strength, she was after all the same age as Grandmaster.
But, when they met again this time, Tang San’s mental strength had already reached the boundless level, and he immediately saw some clues. Even though Bibi Dong meticulously concealed her presence, that wasn’t effective on Tang San who had mental strength of equal level. Tang San clearly sensed that Bibi Dong’s spirit power had at least reached rank ninety eight. Even if it wasn’t higher than Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi, it still wouldn’t be much different. Reaching this level at her age, Tang San was clearly shocked.
If Bibi Dong didn’t possess such powerful strength, Da Ming and Er Ming facing just six Title Douluo, it wouldn’t be easy to defeat them in the Star Dou Great Forest, and running away wouldn’t be a problem.
Only, even though Bibi Dong was powerful, the feeling she gave Tang San was that she relied mainly on control, her attack strength was by far not equal to Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi. Most importantly, Tang San quietly noticed that Bibi Dong even more hated the Seagod Trident he held. Tang San used his Blue Silver Domain’s Boundless Nature at the ideal moment, thus breaking Bibi Dong’s lock on the two spirit beasts.
“Running won’t be that easy.”
Bibi Dong laughed in anger, slightly swaying, withdrawing her spirit avatar, but she was still protected by that Death Spider Emperor.
The dark purple carapace quickly withdrew, and in the blink of an eye, she had again recovered to her original elegant appearance. On her forehead, a spider shaped purple black pattern brightened, and immediately, her surrounding domain expanded once again, enveloping the four Title Douluo, driving off the influence of the Blue Silver Domain. At the same time, Bibi Dong’s body changed again, the spider brand on her forehead instantly turning dark green, a crystalline deep green light emanating from her. This time, both her legs didn’t change, but on her back appeared three pairs of deep green spider legs, both her arms transforming into dark green lances, her lower body completely covered by a layer of dark green light.
Black, black, black, black, black, red, red, seven spirit rings neatly appeared around her. The third spirit ring shone at the same time it was released.
That’s right, this was Bibi Dong’s second spirit. Her twin spirits were very different from Tang San’s. Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain and Clear Sky Hammer had no mutual connection. One was a plant type spirit, one was a powerful tool spirit. But Bibi Dong’s was different. Her two spirits were both spider types. Even stronger than the Man Faced Demon Spiders had seen. It was a true spider emperor, in some sense, it was the regent of bug type spirit beasts.
Her first spirit was the Death Spider Emperor, and her second spirit was the Soul Eating Spider Emperor, and as her current spirit rings showed, this second spiri was clearly cultivated only after the first reached nine rings.
Alongwith the third spirit ring shining, Bibi Dong’s second spirit, Soul Eating Spider Emperor’s third spirit ability launched. Ring after ring of deep green light spread out from under her feet. Absolutely don’t think that this was just a third spirit ability, in fact, after first having a nine ring spirit and then adding spirit rings to a second spirit, each spirit ring with at least fifty thousand year cultivation, the strength wouldn’t be a bit inferior to the first spirit’s eighth spirit ability. Consequently, even though Bibi Dong now only had seven spirit rings, the strength of this second spirit was stronger than the nine rings of her first spirit. After all, even though the spirit had changed, her spirit power was still no different.
A strange scene happened. Even Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain couldn’t stop that dark purple light from spreading. As it spread, the ground began to shudder violently, and one after another, half meter diameter dark green poisonous spiders began to crawl out. These dark green poison spiders seemed a bit illusory, but they still weren’t formed from energy, but rather death energy gathered together and influenced by Bibi Dong’s spirit ability.
Star Dou Great Forest was a place where the strong were prey to the weak, and each day countless spirit beasts killed each other and died. Bibi Dong’s spirit ability drew out this death energy and transformed it into these deadly poisonous spiders.
The devil spiders really were too many, they were everywhere, and began to swiftly crawl out, madly rushing through the forest, looking for tracks of Tang San and the two great divine beasts under Bibi Dong’s careful mental control. This was Bibi Dong’s second spirit’s third spirit ability, Devil Spider Summoning.
Perhaps these devil spiders wouldn’t be able to find Tang San, but it would be very easy for them to pick up the scent of Bibi Dong’s poison on the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Serpent. Bibi Dong couldn’t see through the Blue Silver Domain, but relying on these spiders she could once again target the two great divine beasts, and then, she absolutely wouldn’t give Tang San a second chance to confuse her.
Bibi Dong couldn’t see Tang San, but Tang San saw very clearly inside the domain. Even though Bibi Dong used huer domain to protect her people from the Blue Silver Domain’s influence, but through the Blue Silver Domain, Tang San’s mental strength was displayed to its greatest degree, comprehensively observing these people.
A frontal confrontation wasn’t realistic, Tang San originally only planned to bring away Da Ming and Er Ming. Seeing the devil spiders starting to spread in all directions, Tang San gave a cold snort. Want to draw out my attack? The Seagod’s Light is the nemesis of these death energy devil spiders. But if I attack, wouldn’t I give you the chance to target me? You have devil spiders, don’t tell me I don’t have help? Don’t forget, this is the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the ground, blue silver grass began to frantically grow, turning into long vines, engulfing those devil spiders like ocean waves. A couple of transformed blue silver grass of course wasn’t enough to catch these savage creatures, but if there were ten, a hundred? Stimulated by the Blue Silver Emperor’s imperial aura, the blue silver grass, possessing the most powerful vitality in the Star Dou Great Forest, began to counterattack.
Even though the devil spiders Bibi Dong summoned were numerous, how could it compare to the blue silver grass in the giant forest? The surging breath of vitality from the blue silver grass became the nemesis of these devil spiders, and one draining golden thread after another swiftly fell on them, extracting their energy and again replenishing the two great divine beasts. Aided by the Blue Silver Emperor’s Binding, Da Ming and Er Ming quickly reached Tang San. They had launched their final attacks, and no didn’t have much strength left, and could only leave it to Tang San.
Tang San understood. Da Ming and Er Ming’s gravity control and slowing domain couldn’t be maintained for too long. If these two domains lost their effect, it was impossible for just his Blue Silver Domain to resist Bibi Dong. They had to leave as soon as possible. But, the Blue Silver Domain required his full control to block Bibi Dong’s line of sight. If he brought Da Ming and Er Ming away at this time, then Bibi Dong would definitely sense the domain weakening, and naturally wouldn’t hesitate to attack.
Making a prompt decision, Tang San immediately drew out Xiao Wu from the Hundred Treasure Purse. Light flashed, and Xiao Wu’s soul returned to her body.
“Da Ming, Er Ming, how did you end up like this?”
Xiao Wu saw the two comrades she had grown up with so miserable, and her eyes immediately reddened.
And Da Ming and Er Ming couldn’t help being shocked on seeing a living Xiao Wu, stupidly speechless.
Tang San spoke in a low voice:
“This isn’t the place to talk. Xiao Wu, you’re also familiar with the terrain. Quickly get them away. I’ll watch your backs and stop Bibi Dong for a while. As long as you can get five li away, I’m sure I can use the Blue SIlver Domain to block her mental power from locating you. Hurry.”
Xiao Wu anxiously said:
“Then what about you?”
Tang San gave a soft smile, pointing to his eight spirit rings,
“Don’t you believe I have the strength? I’m not the Tang San from before, perhaps I still won’t be able to beat Bibi Dong, but I can run away from her. The Star Dou Great Forest is the place that suits me the most. Don’t forget that I have ways to keep her from finding me.”
Xiao Wu saw the confidence in Tang San’s eyes, and knew that at this moment there was no room for her to hesitate. Tang San had three great life saving trumps in the Invincible Golden Body, Teleportation, as well as the Vast Sea Barrier. It really was impossible for Bibi Dong to keep him from leaving. Even more when he had the protection of the Seagod Trident.
“Ge, remember, we are one.”
Saying this, Xiao Wu brought the strongly encouraged Da Ming and Er Ming to quickly move away. Da Ming and Er Ming were big, but Xiao Wu’s physical toughness was also a very different thing now. One hand supporting each of them, lending them strength, greatly lowering the two spirit beasts’ burden and making them move quickly.
Tang San of course understood what Xiao Wu said before she left. She was telling him that if he died, she wouldn’t survive either. They of Course didn’t need to worry about being unable to contact each other. Even though Xiao Wu’s soul had become a lot stronger, even after returning to her body, she still couldn’t move more than ten li from Tang San, and Tang San could also at any time rely on the connection between their souls to find her.
Da Ming and Er Ming left, and Tang San immediately focused, thinking to himself, Bibi Dong, I’ll play with you properly, and also take a look at just how strong you are.
Isolated by the Blue Silver Domain’s screen as well as Tang San’s mental strength, Bibi Dong of course didn’t know what was happening over there. Tang San exploiting the Blue Silver Emperor in the forest to stop her summoned devil spiders made her furious. She roared,
“Prepare to attack! After I cut open his domain, you attack with your full strength.”
“Yes!”
The four Title Douluo weren’t any less angry than Bibi Dong. They were the powers of the Spirit Empire, more than rank ninety Title Douluo, spirit masters everyone looked up to. Being toyed with by one enemy, so much that Ghost Douluo had been instantly killed, this grievance might not be settled even by tearing the opponent into ten thousand pieces. The four rubbed their fists and wiped their palms, at the same time fully using their spirit avatars, preparing to attack at any time.
