Relying on their physical strength, the two Spirit Beasts sent Bibi Dong spinning in place.
Meanwhile, the attacks from Tang Xiao and Bone Douluo further aggravated Bibi Dong's injuries.
Bibi Dong was finally reaching her limit.
The relentless assaults from six powerful opponents had left her Martial Soul Avatar in tatters.
Bibi Dong's ninth Spirit Ring lit up—she was finally going to unleash this God-level Support Soul Skill.
Hovering mid-air, Bibi Dong's body began coalescing with intricate purple patterns.
The purple patterns spread across her entire form, enveloping all eight of her Spider Legs and her whole body.
Her Martial Soul Avatar had been on the verge of collapse.
But as these purple patterns emerged, the cracks and wounds covering Bibi Dong's body began to heal.
Her complexion regained its rosy hue.
"No one can kill me! I possess an Undying Body! Today, all of you will die!"
Bibi Dong steadied herself.
Her face was a mask of madness.
Being pushed to this extent was beyond her expectations.
But in Bibi Dong's view, this was where it ended.
With her Undying Body, she stood invincible.
Among her opponents, Dai Tian Jun had lost all combat capability; as for the others, she would defeat them one by one.
"What kind of Soul Skill is this?"
Bone Douluo's grating, astonished voice rang out.
Such severe injuries, healed in an instant.
Could they truly be unable to kill Bibi Dong?
But now was not the time for shock—the group still held firm resolve.
With a cold expression, Tang Xiao swung his Clear Sky Hammer down once more.
Bone Douluo, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Blue Bull Python swiftly followed up.
Yet the reality was that Bibi Dong fighting at full strength was terrifying.
Exerting the power of a 98th-rank, Bibi Dong held an overwhelming advantage.
With one strike of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, the Titan Giant Ape's heart was pierced, visceral fragments scattering as it suffered critical injuries, while Bibi Dong merely flushed slightly.
With two strikes, Bone Doulro's Dragon Claws were directly sliced to shreds, his entire dragon body riddled with cracks, yet Bibi Dong only sustained two wounds.
With three strikes, the Sky Blue Bull Python's forehead horn was split open, the slash cutting several meters into its skull. Only the strength of its cranial bones, with a horn hardness rivaling Soul Bones, allowed it to withstand this blow.
Then, with four strikes, Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer was utterly shattered, leaving him drenched in his own blood.
The coordinated efforts of the two humans and two beasts managed to thwart Bibi Dong from delivering a fatal blow to any single one.
But four consecutive attacks left them all severely wounded.
Bibi Dong radiated sinister energy, her resentment surging. She felt the Rakshasa Demon Scythe merging with her—this Divine Tool was becoming a Martial Soul she could wield as effortlessly as her own limbs.
"Haha, if you'd hidden in Heaven Dou City, I would've had to bide my time, waiting until I attained godhood to come slaughter you.
I never expected you to deliver yourselves to me.
Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Shuo, and that little whelp of the Dugu Family—are you all so eager to die?
Today, I'll send each of you to hell, one by one.
After you're dead, I'll march on Heaven Dou City and annihilate the Dugu Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Clear Sky Sect.
Hehehe!!"
Bibi Dong's laughter had become distorted. Relying on her Divine Tool and the Divine Power within her body, she now saw the possibility of wiping out all her opponents in one fell swoop.
As long as she killed every single one of these people.
There would be no more enemies of the Spirit Hall left on the continent.
Today was the day Bibi Dong would dominate the continent.
"Die!"
Bibi Dong raised the Rakshasa Demon Scythe once more, this time intending to bring back corpses with it.
A intense purple light aimed straight at Bone Douluo.
As for the two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, she planned to absorb them as Spirit Rings, so she would kill them last. That left only Bone Douluo and Tang Xiao to eliminate first.
Tang Xiao and Bone Douluo's expressions changed dramatically.
Already severely injured from earlier, they might truly be unable to block this strike.
Yet neither retreated, unleashing Soaring Strike and Ossified Divine Dragon once again.
The purple Rakshasa Demon Scythe was about to strike Bone Douluo.
Suddenly, a piercing blue light appeared between them, forcing Bibi Dong back several steps.
The radiance illuminated the world, making the somewhat gloomy Star Dou Great Forest feel as if it had gained an extra sun.
All the Soul Beasts and Soul Masters present turned their gaze toward the source of the brilliant light.
There, standing proudly between Bibi Dong and Bone Douluo, was Sword Douluo, emanating a powerful aura. A slightly smaller Seven Kill Sword soared skyward from his hand.
"He broke through! Sword Uncle broke through!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in delight.
Both Dugu Shuo and Dugu Feng broke into smiles.
Sword Douluo had reached level 97.
After battling Bibi Dong, the immense pressure had enabled his breakthrough.
Though it was just one level of progress, the difference between level 97 and level 96 was substantial.
Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi immediately applied his amplification Soul Power to Sword Douluo.
Visibly, Sword Douluo's aura intensified once more.
Now he stood nearly equal to Bibi Dong without much disparity.
"Sword Grandfather's power has temporarily reached level 98!" Dugu Feng marveled, both at Sword Douluo's strength and the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
A level 98 Sword Douluo meant this battle was far from over.
"Bibi Dong, when my father was at level 97, he fought Qiandao Liu in a decisive battle and died in defeat. Before his death, he told me that facing strong opponents is an honor."
"Now, thanks to you, I've broken through to level 97."
"But this is only the beginning. Come, let's fight again!" Sword Douluo declared, pointing his Seven Kill Sword at Bibi Dong.
Two beams of intense light shot from Sword Douluo's eyes. He wasn't treating this as a life-or-death struggle.
Instead, he approached it with the mindset of improving his strength.
Such composure couldn't be underestimated, even by Bibi Dong.
"If you wish to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Bibi Dong raised her Rakshasa Demon Scythe and charged directly at him.
What did a breakthrough matter? She, Bibi Dong, was undying and feared no one.
The battle reignited.
Sword Douluo once again demonstrated his exceptional skill, each sword strike razor-sharp, making him Bibi Dong's strongest opponent.
With this buffer, Tang Xiao, Bone Douluo, Sky Blue Bull Python, and Titan Giant Ape gained a breathing space.
They quickly began recovering from their injuries.
Outside the battlefield.
After observing for a while, Dugu Feng felt a chill in his heart. It seemed he would have to intervene today after all.
Relying solely on Sword Douluo and the others, they couldn't kill Bibi Dong.
With her Undying Body, unless they eliminated her completely in one go, nothing could stop her recovery.
Moreover, Bibi Dong possessed the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, granting her terrifying offensive power. Sword Douluo and the others couldn't repeatedly inflict severe injuries on her to deplete her Soul Power.
It still falls to me!
Dugu Feng sensed the toxins he had absorbed within his body.
After these toxins were suppressed by the Overlord Venom, what ultimately absorbed them was not the Overlord Venom, but his External Soul Bone Spider Emperor Wings.
As the toxins also originated from a spider-type Martial Soul, the Spider Emperor Wings seemed to greatly enjoy them.
Moreover, when Bibi Dong activated her Undying Body earlier, the Spider Emperor Wings trembled slightly, exuding a greedy aura.
Dugu Feng's eyes lit up—this was an opportunity.
