Chapter 716
Ren Xue
Qian Renxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her golden eyes burning with an indomitable flame: "Dream on! When did Seagod Island become a bandit's den? If you want the Angelic Armor, come and take it with your own ability!"
She understood Poseidon's purpose perfectly—the Angelic Armor was a divine artifact passed down from the Angel God, containing the laws of light and holiness. Although Seagod Island primarily cultivated the power of the ocean, obtaining the Angelic Armor and deciphering its divine laws would greatly benefit Seagod Island's cultivation system. Especially in this era of the gradual revival of divine inheritance, every divine inheritance was of paramount importance.
Poseidon shook his head: "Stubborn to the end."
She raised her scepter, and the light of the sea god condensed into three blue spears, each containing terrifying power capable of tearing through space. This was "Wrath of the Sea God," one of the Thirteen Forms of the Sea God. Although not the strongest attack, it was more than enough to deal with the already severely injured Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, preparing to burn even more of her divine power—even if she lost her divine position and her cultivation was completely destroyed after this battle, she would never submit.
At this critical moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the distance, a streak of azure light streaked across the sky at an incredible speed. One second it was on the horizon, the next it was right in front of you!
The speed was so fast that no one in the arena had time to react.
The blue light suddenly stopped at the edge of the battlefield, revealing two figures—Bibi Dong and Dai Chengfeng.
"Who goes there?!" a Seagod Island elder shouted sternly, releasing the pressure of a Title Douluo at the same time.
But when that oppressive aura approached Bibi Dong's body and reached a depth of about 30 feet, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Bibi Dong didn't even look at the elder; her gaze fell directly on Qian Renxue, and her eyes darkened slightly upon seeing her severely injured state. Then, she turned to Poseidon.
“Poseidon, the High Priestess of Poseidon Island.” Bibi Dong’s voice was calm, yet carried an invisible pressure. “With your status, don’t you think it’s beneath you to join forces to attack a junior?”
A look of seriousness flashed in Poseidon's eyes.
She couldn't see through the woman in front of her.
On the surface, Bibi Dong's aura seemed to be only at the peak Douluo level, even weaker than Qian Renxue's. But that unfathomable foundation, that harmonious feeling of being one with the surrounding environment, and that majesty that faintly transcended the mortal realm... these were definitely not the qualities of an ordinary Title Douluo.
What alarmed Poseidon even more was that she sensed two completely different divine power fluctuations emanating from Bibi Dong—one cold and evil, the other agile and free. These two forces, which should have been in conflict, strangely coexisted within one person and achieved a dangerous balance.
"Who are you?" Poseidon did not act rashly. Having lived for hundreds of years, she had witnessed too many strange things and knew that it was better to be safe than sorry.
“Bibi Dong,” Bibi Dong said calmly.
Upon hearing this name, everyone in the room except Dai Chengfeng and Qian Renxue showed expressions of surprise and doubt.
Bibi Dong, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall and the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, had already "fallen" in her decisive battle with Tang San several years ago—a fact universally acknowledged throughout the Douluo Continent. Although Seagod Island had its own intelligence network and knew that Bibi Dong might not be dead, no one expected her to appear in this way, at this time. Moreover, the aura emanating from her... was completely different from the description of the Rakshasa God's inheritor in the intelligence reports.
“Bibi Dong…” Poseidon slowly repeated the name, “It is said that you have fallen, but it seems that the rumors are wrong. However, even if you were still alive, today’s events have nothing to do with you. This is a feud between my Seagod Island and the Angelic Successor, and you would be better off not interfering.”
"None of my business?" Bibi Dong chuckled lightly, her laughter revealing neither joy nor anger. "Qian Renxue is my daughter, and you say it has nothing to do with me?"
Even Qian Renxue was stunned by these words.
She had never heard Bibi Dong so openly acknowledge their mother-daughter relationship in public. In her memory, her mother had always been cold, distant, and even…disgusted towards her. Hearing these words now, Qian Renxue felt a complex mix of emotions—surprise, confusion, and even a hint of warmth that she herself was unwilling to admit…
Poseidon frowned even more: "Mother and daughter? As far as I know, your relationship doesn't seem to be harmonious."
“That’s between us,” Bibi Dong’s tone turned cold. “It’s not for outsiders to judge. Now, I’ll give you two choices: First, leave immediately, and I’ll pretend today’s events never happened; second, I’ll personally send you away—in a way you don’t want.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure spread out.
It wasn't the pressure of soul power, but rather the oppressive presence of a higher level. The clouds in the sky began to shift, the sound of the wind became clearer, as if the whole world was responding to her emotions.
Poseidon remained silent for a moment, then the light of the sea god on her scepter burned even brighter: "You have quite the arrogance. Even if you really are Bibi Dong, even if you have had other opportunities, do you really think that you alone can contend against the six titled Douluo of my Seagod Island?"
“You can give it a try.” Bibi Dong took a step forward.
With just one step, the world changed color.
Centered on her, a cyan wind domain suddenly unfolded! It wasn't a Soul Master's domain skill, but a manifestation of the laws! Within the domain, the flow, direction, and intensity of the wind were all at her command!
Even more terrifying is that this domain is also mixed with a trace of the chilling properties of Rakshasa divine power, giving the wind not only physical cutting power, but also a soul-corroding chill.
The five titled Douluo from Seagod Island simultaneously groaned. They felt their connection to the天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) forcibly severed, as if they were sinking into an invisible quagmire, making even breathing difficult. The two level-96 elders fared slightly better, managing to barely maintain their domains in combat, but their faces were also pale, clearly under immense pressure.
Poseidon's expression finally changed.
This level of domain control transcends the mortal realm and touches the edge of divinity! She herself is the High Priestess of Seagod Island, a demigod, and can also unleash a similar domain of laws with the help of the Seagod's Scepter. But she can sense that Bibi Dong's domain is more...natural, more perfectly formed, as if it is not the power she releases, but the world itself blessing her.
"You... have become a god?" Poseidon asked incredulously.
“Not yet,” Bibi Dong said truthfully, “but killing you would be enough.”
This is not arrogance, but a statement of fact. After fusing with the Wind God's divine soul, although her strength has not yet reached the true divine level, she has already stood at the pinnacle of the mortal realm. Coupled with the bizarre characteristics of the Rakshasa God's power and her profound understanding of the laws of wind, her actual combat strength far surpasses that of her peers.
A struggle flashed in Poseidon's eyes. (End of Chapter)
