Bibi Dong stepped forward with a faint smile on her lips, her eyes cold and calculating, her voice calm yet leaving no room for argument,
I need a 100,000-year spirit ring, your strength is not bad, but you are not my true target, she said as her gaze shifted directly toward Xiao Wu's mother,
The atmosphere instantly froze, the pressure in the sky multiplied,
The Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, roared in fury, its massive body sliding forward, its eyes blazing with wild rage,
Human, you are overstepping your bounds,
Yue Guan stepped forward gracefully, flower petals swirling around him, his tone carrying a light but sharp mockery,
Ah, how frightening, but unfortunately, luck is not on your side today,
At the same time, Gui Mei's figure melted into the shadows, his presence splitting into multiple eerie silhouettes, emitting a chilling aura.
Xiao Wu's mother, Xiao Xun'er, moved without hesitation, instantly stepping forward and pulling Xiao Wu completely behind her, a gentle yet powerful energy surged from her body, her gaze firm and unwavering,
Stay back, Xiao Wu,
Xiao Wu nodded with fear and worry, yet her eyes remained locked onto the humans before her,
Da Ming lunged forward in rage, his massive tail tearing through the air toward Bibi Dong, at the same time Xiao Xun'er leaped into a battle stance, the two of them preparing to resist together,
However, Bibi Dong did not even move, behind her the Death Spider Emperor became more defined, her red spirit ring suddenly lit up,
The battle… was now inevitable.
Da Ming's attack tore through the sky and struck Bibi Dong, the massive force shattered everything around, but at the moment of impact, her ninth spirit ring, the terrifying 100,000-year red ring, lit up as her immortality ability activated, the fatal wound that should have ended her life vanished as if it had never existed,
Gui Mei and Yue Guan immediately stepped in,
Yue Guan raised his hand, countless golden flower petals swirling around him transformed into razor-sharp blades, his fourth and fifth spirit rings lit up in succession as the petals rained down on Da Ming like a storm, each one deadly and precise,
At the same time, Gui Mei's body merged with the shadows, his seventh spirit ring activated as his Spirit True Body emerged, dark mist engulfed the entire area, attacks emerging from the shadows began restricting Da Ming's movements.
Da Ming roared in fury, his massive body tearing through the attacks as he charged forward, his tail swung and created a massive shockwave, destroying part of Yue Guan's petals, yet many still pierced into his body,
The entire battlefield was collapsing under the impact of their clash, massive trees were uprooted and flung into the air, the ground shattered, storms formed in the sky, the destruction could be felt from kilometers away,
On the other side, Xiao Xun'er fought with all her strength, despite being a 200,000-year spirit beast, her species was not inherently battle-oriented, preventing her from fully displaying her power, yet she refused to retreat,
With the soft yet dense energy radiating from her body, she continuously defended, drawing attacks toward herself to protect Xiao Wu, each blow pushed her back, but her gaze remained unwavering.
However, the power she faced was overwhelming, Bibi Dong was barely exerting effort, empowered by her red spirit ring, she advanced without concern for the attacks, each step radiating lethal pressure.
Xiao Wu trembled in her small rabbit form, her eyes filled with tears as her voice echoed in desperation, Mom,
Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, roared in fury upon seeing Xiao Xun'er's desperate state, his massive body trembling with rage,
Sister Xun'er,
He tried with all his strength to help, but Yue Guan and Gui Mei would not allow it, Yue Guan's petals blocked his path like a storm, while Gui Mei's shadows wrapped around him like chains,
Damn monkey, where are you,
The battle grew increasingly brutal, the sky darkened, the earth shattered, with every clash nature was further destroyed,
Xiao Xun'er was now severely injured, her breathing uneven, her body covered in blood, yet she refused to step back, using all her strength to defend and draw attacks toward herself.
For a brief moment, she looked back, her eyes meeting Xiao Wu's, within that gaze there was both pain and determination,
Xiao Wu, run,
Her voice was soft but left no room for argument,
Go… get away from here,
Xiao Wu froze, tears streaming down her face, she didn't want to leave, but her mother's gaze forced her,
Amidst the chaos of battle, a mother's final wish echoed.
Bibi Dong smiled mockingly, there was not the slightest trace of mercy in her eyes,
How touching, but unfortunately, I need more than one spirit ring, and I have no interest in mother-daughter separation dramas,
As she spoke, the Death Spider Emperor behind her became even more defined, her red spirit ring flared intensely,
The Death Domain was activated,
In an instant, the entire area was sealed, the sky darkened as a dome of darkness formed, completely cutting off the outside world, even the air inside grew heavy, filled with the scent of death,
Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er cried out in despair,
No,
She lunged forward with all her strength, gathering all her spirit power into a single point and striking the barrier, waves of energy collided with the dark dome, yet not even the slightest crack formed.
She tried again, and again, and again, but the result did not change, the domain trembled but did not break,
Finally, she collapsed to her knees, her breathing uneven, her eyes filled with despair,
She looked at Bibi Dong, her voice trembling,
Please… let Xiao Wu go,
If you release her… I will surrender willingly, my spirit ring and spirit bone will be yours,
Her words echoed through the air,
A flicker of interest appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes, such an offer would greatly simplify her task, a willing sacrifice would significantly accelerate and stabilize the absorption of the spirit ring,
A faint smile formed on her lips.
A wise choice,
Da Ming and Xiao Wu shouted at the same time, no,
Bibi Dong summoned her spider spear and was just about to pierce Xiao Xun'er's heart when a deafening roar echoed,
Roooaaar,
The outer layer of the Death Domain suddenly cracked, the space above it shattered like glass as a massive purple beam of light struck down onto it, the domain held for a few seconds but could not endure any longer,
Boom,
The entire domain shattered, as the purple light descended it spread like a living force, the entire area was devastated as if struck by a nuclear explosion, trees were uprooted, the ground was completely destroyed,
Bibi Dong spat out a mouthful of blood due to the spiritual backlash of her domain being destroyed and the proximity of the explosion,
Your Holiness,
Gui Mei and Yue Guan immediately abandoned Da Ming and rushed to Bibi Dong's side, placing her under protection.
Bibi Dong, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan looked at the rising dust cloud with tension and shock, at the same time Da Ming and Xiao Xun'er felt an incomparably powerful spirit beast aura within the area, they did not recognize this being, but one thing was certain, a spirit beast at this level would never treat invading spirit masters kindly, and because of that, a sense of relief rose within them,
As the massive dust cloud slowly dispersed, that majestic being was revealed, a colossal dragon nearly 400 meters in size,
Its body was a chaotic fusion of dark and violet tones, its scales were sharp and layered, each one shimmering as if carved from space itself, a pulsating violet light radiated from its chest like a heartbeat, and with every pulse, the surrounding space slightly distorted,
Its wings were enormous and fragmented, not entirely physical but partially formed of energy, when spread they left behind void-like tears in reality, as if its very existence did not belong to this world.
Its eyes burned with the essence of pure destruction, releasing lightning-like violet energy, everything it gazed upon felt as if it was decaying, its horns curved upward, surrounded by rotating rings of symbolic energy representing an ancient and incomprehensible power,
Its claws were massive and lethal, each step caused the ground to crack, and when its tail moved, waves of dark energy spread for kilometers, its mere presence was enough to suppress the entire area,
When Bibi Dong saw this spirit beast, ancient records she had read surfaced in her mind, her eyes narrowed slightly, and for the first time her voice carried genuine shock and caution,
This… this is impossible, this aura… this level of destruction, even the Dark Sacred Dragon would not emit such extreme and unstable destruction,
She paused for a moment, then her voice hardened,
No… this is something else, this is…
A Super Spirit Beast… the Sacred Dragon of Destruction,
