The full-power Blazing Sun Cannon didn't have the overwhelming effect Xu Mingxi had imagined—instead, it was forcibly split apart by the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
"What exactly is going on? How did Bibi Dong suddenly become so strong? And why is there such an evil aura? Is she even herself anymore?"
It was no wonder Xu Mingxi was suspicious. Bibi Dong had undergone an astonishing transformation. Her eyes had turned blood red, and tiny hairs were growing on her arms.
The most terrifying part was the tail that had extended from her back, with hook-like barbs on it—razor-sharp, as if they could slice through anything.
An external spirit bone? Xu Mingxi initially wondered if Bibi Dong had somehow acquired this rare treasure, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Even an external spirit bone couldn't make someone this powerful all of a sudden.
Besides, Bibi Dong wasn't just stronger—she seemed like an entirely different person, and her fighting style had changed drastically.
Before this, even though Bibi Dong was desperate to save her daughter, she never directly fought and mainly avoided conflict.
Now, this person charged in with the Rakshasa Scythe at the slightest disagreement. Her hands weren't particularly deadly, but the way she used her tail's hooked barbs showed expert control.
A silver moon mark appeared on Xu Mingxi's forehead, and his power surged. Moonlight swept toward Bibi Dong, momentarily slowing her down.
Then the golden crow flapped its wings behind him, quickly widening the distance between them. Stars lit up on the battlefield, and countless beams of starlight shot toward Bibi Dong to try to stop her.
"You're not Bibi Dong. Who are you?!"
"Hehehe… this is how you evil humans laugh. I quite enjoy this kind of laughter."
Xu Mingxi's eyes sharpened. The voice belonged to Bibi Dong, but she would never speak like this.
And "you humans"? Could Bibi Dong have been parasitized by a beast like the Dark Gold Blood Bat King? How was that possible?
With Bibi Dong's strength and the inheritance of the Rakshasa God, unless the gods themselves intervened, how could a mere beast possibly influence her?
Let alone the fact that she had been perfectly fine before—she became like this only because she sought immense power to save Qian Renxue in this war.
"Human child, where are you looking?"
The evil god pierced space and suddenly appeared before Xu Mingxi, leaving a bloody wound on his chest.
If he hadn't dodged in time and used the blazing sun to shield his body, Xu Mingxi would have been torn apart.
He looked at the hooked tail behind Bibi Dong, the fine fur on her body, and felt the evil aura emanating from her—then suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind.
"You are… the Evil God Demon Tiger of Darkness!"
"Human, you actually know this king. Then this king cannot let you go."
The Evil God Demon Tiger laughed grimly, wielding the Rakshasa Scythe and preparing to charge again—but seemed to hear something, cursed twice, and turned away.
No, it had to rescue Qian Renxue.
Xu Mingxi immediately dived down, sunlight condensing all over his body as he bombarded the Evil God Demon Tiger to try to slow it down.
"Brother Mingguang, step aside!"
It was a small matter if Qian Renxue was rescued, but if his father or Brother Mingguang died, then the Xingguan Sect would suffer an irreparable loss.
His warning echoed across the battlefield, and nearly everyone saw the two figures fall from the sky.
Seeing this, those surrounding Qian Renxue silently chose to retreat and regrouped to jointly release a massive Star Guardian formation. Even Bibi Dong couldn't break through it at first.
However, this gave Qian Renxue a chance to breathe. With the blessing of the Angel God's divine faith, her injuries rapidly healed.
Feeling the soul power in her body nearly depleted, and seeing the powerful warriors of the Spirit Empire either dead or gravely wounded around her, Qian Renxue was momentarily dazed.
The Evil God Demon Tiger didn't care about any of this—or about the humans hiding behind the Star Guardian. It grabbed Qian Renxue and fled the battlefield as fast as possible.
What did the Spirit Empire matter to it? All it needed was to rescue the human who radiated this disgusting aura, as Bibi Dong described. That alone would complete its mission.
While Bibi Dong focused on becoming a god, it could become her divine soul, and also evade the filthy gods in the heavens—killing two birds with one stone.
"Bibi Dong, let me go!"
"Hehehe, human, I am not Bibi Dong."
"Who are you?! What did you do to Bibi Dong?!"
Qian Renxue, held in the arms of the Evil God Demon Tiger, had her angelic holy light melted by the evil spirit. With her soul power depleted, she couldn't resist and was taken away from the battlefield.
The Golden Crocodile and others, surrounded in the distance, were relieved by this outcome. The Spirit Empire was doomed to defeat, and only a few old warriors remained to hold it up.
It was a blessing that Xiaoxue escaped safely. With Bibi Dong, they shouldn't be in danger.
Seeing the situation, Xu Mingxi couldn't help but frown. This was not how he had imagined it. Qian Renxue did not die on the battlefield.
To him, people like Golden Crocodile Douluo were unimportant. What mattered was Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue—the god successors.
Chasing Bibi Dong was impossible now with her skyrocketing power. Xu Mingxi could only help the Star Luo Empire's soul masters secure final victory.
Even someone as powerful as Golden Crocodile Douluo lost his ability to fight under the siege of many Title Douluo and was captured alive.
Those who also survived were Xiongshi and Qianjun Jiangmo. If something happened to Qian Renxue in the future, they could serve as bargaining chips.
Dugu Bo poisoned several people and moved them all back to the Star Crown Sect. He was imprisoned with Qingluan under strict supervision but treated well.
As for Chen Yan, this traitor was personally executed by Xu Mingxi. He had no intention of forgiving the Chen family and instead bestowed them many "gifts."
The end of the war plunged the Star Luo Empire into a sea of celebration. Even the usually serious White Tiger Duke, Dai Feng, couldn't hold back his laughter.
He had never imagined he would live to see the Star Luo Empire's banner flying across the entire Douluo Continent. Even if he wasn't emperor, this was enough.
In contrast, Zhenxing City was silent. Having lost all their top leaders, they had no ability to resist. They could only sit dazedly atop the city walls and await annexation and judgment by the Star Luo Empire.
What hurt more than anything was that the emperor of the Spirit Empire had actually abandoned the battlefield—this was more painful than death.
The only thing worth celebrating was that Bibi Dong had taken Qian Renxue with her—someone who had fought for the Spirit Empire until the end—ensuring the inheritance of the Angel God's bloodline.
