153: Chapter 153 Immortality

"Seventh Spirit Ability, Soul Eating Spider Emperor Martial Soul Avatar."

Bibi Dong had no time to think, her seventh spirit ring already lighting up beneath her feet.

Immediately after, her sixth spirit ring flared with intense light: "Sixth Spirit Ability, Eternal Trauma!"

The two dark green spears in front of Bibi Dong rose, crossing to slash out a massive, fork-shaped green light wave, shooting towards Ji Xuan.

This was her most tyrannical single-target Spirit Ability; physical defense was ineffective, and energy defense was reduced by fifty percent.

Once it struck, the wound would spread endlessly, and the only way to resist was by consuming Soul Power until one was completely drained.

But the moment the light wave was about to strike Ji Xuan, a spatial rift abruptly appeared before him, swallowing the green light wave entirely before vanishing.

Almost simultaneously, the space behind Bibi Dong suddenly tore open, and that familiar, fork-shaped green light wave shot out from within!

"Not good!" Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically, and she instinctively turned, crossing her two spider spears to block in front of her.

When she saw the nature of the attack, her pupils constricted, and a storm surged in her heart—this was her own attack!

She had not expected Ji Xuan's control over the power of space to be even more terrifying than that of Gu Rong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

One had to know, Gu Rong was recognized across the continent as the most devious Titled Douluo, yet even he could never do this so freely.

In her haste, Bibi Dong could only raise a Soul Power shield.

Puchi—

The shield shattered like paper, and the fork-shaped light wave struck her heavily, leaving a distinct cross-shaped wound as dark green liquid slowly oozed out.

Mid-air, Ji Xuan gave her no chance to catch her breath, his eighth spirit ring suddenly lighting up: "Eighth Spirit Ability, Demon Orca Slash!"

A powerful force of confinement instantly enveloped Bibi Dong. She was horrified, and the Divine Power within her surged wildly, allowing her to break free from the confinement instantly.

But just as she turned, a dark red Sword Qi rapidly expanded in her pupils!

She crossed her spears to block again, but with a crisp crack, the spider spears were severed at the root by the Sword Qi!

The Sword Qi, its momentum undiminished, struck heavily against the cross-shaped wound on her chest.

"Pfft!" Bibi Dong violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and her Martial Soul Avatar dissipated completely along with the broken spider spears.

She had no choice but to switch back to the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul, but at this moment, her aura was exceptionally weak.

Just then, two figures flashed over rapidly—it was the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.

Hope instantly ignited in Bibi Dong's eyes, and the thought of retreating was immediately suppressed.

Although the two had consumed most of their Soul Power to confine the Sky Azure Bull Python, as long as they executed their Martial Soul Fusion skill, even if they could only trap Ji Xuan for a single breath, it would be enough for her to counterattack!

"Yue Guan! Gui Mei!" Bibi Dong shrieked, "Martial Soul Fusion skill! Control that brat Ji Xuan for me!"

"Her Holiness the Pope." Yue Guan's voice sounded, but his tone lacked its usual respect, "His Highness Ji Xuan is the Saint of Spirit Hall and the Personal Disciple of the High Priest. Are you sure you want us to do this?"

At this moment, Bibi Dong was blinded by rage and did not detect the strangeness in his tone, only roaring, "Do as I say!"

"As you command, Her Holiness the Pope." Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, their figures soaring into the air as their Soul Power began to merge.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong laughed hideously: "Hahaha! Ji Xuan! Prepare to die!"

Although the execution of the Chrysanthemum and Ghost's Martial Soul Fusion skill required time, with Ji Xuan's strength, he could easily dodge it.

But not far behind Ji Xuan, Feng Xiaotian was absorbing a spirit ring, and Shui Binger was acting as his Protector.

If Ji Xuan dared to dodge, she would immediately strike those two!

Shui Binger was that brat Ji Xuan's woman; he would certainly not ignore her!

"Martial Soul Fusion skill—Polarity Static Domain!" The Chrysanthemum and Ghost's Martial Soul Fusion skill was complete.

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at Ji Xuan, her Soul Power poised, waiting for the moment the Domain descended to strike with full force.

However, the next second, she discovered in horror that her body was unable to move!

What was going on?!

"Not good!" Bibi Dong's heart shuddered as she instantly realized that the Chrysanthemum and Ghost had betrayed her!

With her strength, this Domain could not trap her for long; within an instant, she broke free from the confinement.

But as soon as she escaped, a golden sword thrust towards her chest.

Into this sword strike, Ji Xuan had infused a trace of Order Divine Power; it appeared ordinary, yet was terrifyingly powerful.

Bibi Dong sensed a fatal danger, and her ninth spirit ring suddenly lit up: "Ninth Spirit Ability, Undying Body!"

This was a life-saving Spirit Ability derived from the hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor Spirit Beast; as long as the attack was not of Divine-Grade, it could never truly kill her.

Puchi—

The golden sword pierced through her chest, and she fell heavily to the ground.

But soon, Bibi Dong stood up, and the piercing wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to normal in just a few breaths.

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at the Chrysanthemum and Ghost behind Ji Xuan, her face livid: "Yue Guan! Gui Mei! How dare you betray me!"

"Betrayal?" Yue Guan chuckled, pinching his orchid fingers, "Her Holiness the Pope, we were always Elders of Spirit Hall, and our loyalty lies with Spirit Hall.

His Highness Ji Xuan is the future Supreme Pontiff; how can it be betrayal for us to submit to him?"

"You... good! Very good!" Bibi Dong trembled with rage, her chest heaving violently.

Ji Xuan scoffed: "Bibi Dong, what right do you have to speak of betrayal? Have you forgotten that back then, for the sake of that waste Yu Xiaogang, you were willing to betray the Spirit Hall that raised you?"

"You lie!" Bibi Dong shrieked like a madwoman, "I did not! Xiaogang and I are true love! He is not a waste! You simply do not understand his excellence!"

"..." Ji Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, too lazy to argue with this crazy woman.

"Ji Xuan!" A trace of malice flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and the Rakshasa Divine Power within her surged, a massive black vortex appearing behind her, "You wait for me! The day I become a god will be the day you die!"

As her voice fell, her figure rapidly submerged into the vortex and vanished.

Ji Xuan did not stop her; after all, Bibi Dong was still Qian Renxue's mother, and he could not kill her yet.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Supreme Pontiff!" Yue Guan was the first to kneel on one knee in salute, his tone extremely respectful, and Gui Mei followed suit.

They truly had not expected that in just a few short years, Ji Xuan's strength would have grown so tyrannical that he could defeat Bibi Dong.

Such a rate of improvement was simply terrifying to the extreme.

They secretly rejoiced in their hearts, fortunate that they had chosen to submit early.

"The two Elders need not be so formal." Ji Xuan spoke calmly, "The two of you, consume the Immortal Plant here; I will act as your Protector."

"Many thanks, Your Highness the Supreme Pontiff!" Yue Guan was overjoyed, hurriedly taking two jade boxes from his spirit tool and handing one to Gui Mei.

The two exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with excitement.

After so many years of anticipation, this moment had finally arrived!

They did not hesitate any longer, opening the jade boxes, taking out the Immortal Plants inside, sitting cross-legged, and beginning to refine them.
