"Out of the way!"
"Bibi Dong, you'd better save your strength, or you won't even have the soul power to escape."
"You're courting death!"
Seeing Qian Renxue in danger below, Bibi Dong couldn't hold back any longer and was ready to break through the situation to save her.
How could Xu Mingxi give her that chance? He blocked her instantly and took the opportunity to find Bibi Dong's weakness, preparing to bring her down in one move.
However, he hadn't expected that even after all her changes, Bibi Dong would still want to save Qian Renxue. Was this a mother's love? Xu Mingxi admired such devotion, but that didn't mean he wouldn't exploit it. Only a Bibi Dong who had lost her rationality would expose her life like this.
Seeing Qian Renxue's wing pierced by a star arrow and the holy feathers stained red with blood, Bibi Dong panicked.
She had a special feeling for this daughter. Seeing her would enrage her because of Qian Xunji, but seeing her cry made Bibi Dong feel sorrow.
Especially after killing Yu Xiaogang with her own hands, everything she had experienced seemed to vanish like bubbles.
Bibi Dong wanted to become a god, eternal and above all, but she also didn't want Qian Renxue to die like this.
Seeing that she couldn't break through Xu Mingxi's blockade, Bibi Dong took advantage of the brief moment when he was observing and not attacking, and projected a portion of her consciousness into her spiritual sea.
Over the dark spiritual power, a charming figure slowly appeared. This was Bibi Dong, who had taken off her golden mask and imperial robes of the Spirit Empire, wearing only a soul master's plain attire but still possessing a beautiful face.
Her elegant brows furrowed slightly as she looked deep into her spiritual sea, where an old companion had resided for a long time.
"Evil God, Dark Demonic Tiger — it's time for you to lend me your strength. Once I become a god, I will revive you and won't go back on my promise."
"Haha, Bibi Dong, your credibility with me has long been shattered. What guarantee can you give me?"
Deep in the dark spiritual sea, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened, their bloodthirsty light tinting the darkness slightly red.
A cold light flashed, and the evil god broke through the space, rushing straight at Bibi Dong, only to be blocked by a barrier of black spiritual power — unable to advance even a little.
"You'd best conserve your energy. This is my spiritual sea, under my control. As long as you lend me your power, I can release you from here."
"Bibi Dong, don't forget you promised me the same thing last time. I helped you harmonize the power of the Rakshasa God and the Evil God.
And in the end, I was left to sleep in this dead, bloodless sea of spirit — dull and joyless."
The Dark Demonic Tiger Evil God arrogantly walked out from the depths of the spiritual sea, circling Bibi Dong but no longer attacking.
The woman was right. Right now, he was just a remnant soul existing in this sea and couldn't do anything to her.
Originally, this remnant soul had hidden in a Birth Pearl, planning to reincarnate or form a new body.
Unexpectedly, the evil god's power inside the pearl attracted Bibi Dong, who took the initiative to absorb it into her spiritual sea.
What made the Evil God even more desperate was that the Birth Pearl had started to merge with Bibi Dong's spiritual sea — trapping him completely.
Now that the pearl was destroyed, if he wanted to leave and rebuild a body, he needed Bibi Dong's help. That's why he helped her last time.
"Bibi Dong, you once promised to find a soul beast with a deep bloodline for me to possess, but so far, I haven't seen you make a move."
"Enough nonsense — can't you see the situation outside? If I fall, you'll be buried with me."
If Bibi Dong hadn't said that, he wouldn't be so angry — but now she had.
In essence, they were now bound together. If Bibi Dong became a god, he could greatly benefit from it, perhaps even transform into a divine soul himself.
Long before the war began, he'd warned her repeatedly not to participate. She should've gone somewhere secluded to cultivate to Rank 99, then ascend to godhood.
At worst, she could capture one of those bird-like humans reeking of holy aura — with her strength, that was doable.
But she rejected both suggestions, insisting on joining the war and claiming to be the Empress of the Spirit Empire.
Did Bibi Dong really care about the so-called Spirit Empire? The Evil God Tiger, who could read people's hearts, knew the truth — she was doing it all for that one man.
Now that she couldn't beat her opponent, she came to borrow his power. Did she think he was a pushover?
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes at the Evil God Tiger, who laid down again and closed his eyes. After a long thought, she finally made her decision.
"Dark Demonic Tiger Evil God, how about I let you take control this time? But you must save Qian Renxue for me."
This sentence startled even herself.
Those blood-red eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at Bibi Dong in disbelief. He hadn't expected her to go this far for a human.
He knew — if he took control, it would hasten the erosion of her body. At that point, it would be uncertain who really controlled the spiritual sea.
He couldn't understand why Bibi Dong would do this. Human emotions were indeed fragile and troublesome. But this was fine too — no need to waste effort escaping.
The Evil God Tiger stood up and stared at Bibi Dong for a long while. A hook at the end of his tail suddenly appeared before her.
"Fine. I accept your condition. Grab the evil god's hook and release your consciousness."
Xu Mingxi didn't know what was happening inside her spiritual sea, but he could see something was wrong. Bibi Dong's movements had become sluggish, and something felt off.
Qian Renxue below had two broken wings — she shouldn't be in such a weak state. Even if she fought desperately, she looked like she was weakening further.
But soon, he understood why.
Bibi Dong, who slashed through the blazing sun cannon with her scythe, lowered her head. When she looked up again, her eyes were blood-red, and she seemed to have completely lost her sanity.
Evil energy around her surged dramatically, and even the Rakshasa Scythe was covered in a new layer — this was the divine artifact of the Rakshasa God.
"Something's very wrong."
The intuition of a soul master told Xu Mingxi that he couldn't let Bibi Dong transform any further. The starfield expanded to the maximum, summoning the full divine solar power from within his demigod body.
The blazing solar cannon, at full power — fire!
