Chapter 335: Spirit Hall's Crushing Defeat
"Third Spirit Ability—Blood Scythe Devour!"
As the third spirit ring lit up, a massive dark vortex appeared before Xiao Yu, resembling a bottomless black hole.
Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation had just made contact with the vortex when it was completely devoured.
"Bibi Dong, let me return this to you!"
Xiao Yu chuckled coldly and raised a finger. The same attack shot out from the vortex and flew straight toward Bibi Dong.
Her expression changed instantly. Eternal Creation was a terrifying attack that ignored physical defenses and reduced the target's energy-based defenses by 50%.
Once struck, the resulting injury would endlessly spread, and the only way to resist it was by continuously burning spirit power until death. Even Bibi Dong herself was not exempt.
Her sixth spirit ring, glowing red, lit up again. The Soul-Eating Spider Emperor she had transformed into brought its massive emerald-green pincers together, slashing out a distorted green blade of light. Within its area of effect, it shattered any sub-divine-level spiritual detection.
This was Abyssal Slash of Spatial Tear—a powerful single-target attack granted by her 100,000-year sixth spirit ring.
Its power was enough to kill any Title Douluo below Rank 95, and had been personally verified by Spirit Hall Elder Devil Bear Douluo.
With a deafening boom, two dark green waves of energy collided violently. In an instant, the surging soul power exploded outward like a roaring flood, sweeping across the surroundings.
Both attacks had originated from Bibi Dong's sixth ring. Equal in strength, they ended up canceling each other out and vanishing into the sky.
"You also have twin spirits?!"
Bibi Dong stared in disbelief, especially when she saw the nine crimson 100,000-year spirit rings swirling around the demon scythe. Her pride was instantly shattered.
Her twin spirits had always been her greatest pride, yet now they were her opponent's advantage. She couldn't believe it.
At that moment, Xiao Yu's figure flickered and vanished.
In the next instant, he reappeared in front of Bibi Dong, sweeping his massive scythe across.
Her expression shifted. Her arms transformed into scythe blades again, blocking Xiao Yu's attack.
Bang!
As the scythes clashed, Bibi Dong felt a tremendous force strike her, causing her to grunt.
Though her arms had transformed into blades via her soul bone skill, they were still her arms. Under the powerful force of the Death Scythe, a crisp crack rang out—her right arm blade showed a clear fracture.
Wincing in pain, Bibi Dong staggered back over a hundred steps before barely regaining her footing.
Xiao Yu flickered again—clearly using another teleportation skill.
"Damn it!"
Bibi Dong cursed, and the web-like demonic mark on her forehead lit up. Blinding green light burst forth, and the web transformed into a giant green eye, from which a ghastly green beam shot out.
It was Bibi Dong's spirit immunity skull bone skill—True World—activated.
All of her spiritual power focused into the sweeping beam. Any area it passed was dyed a layer of green light.
Teleportation, to some extent, meant entering a subspace. With the mental strength of a Limit Douluo, plus a nearly 100,000-year skull bone, Bibi Dong could now see through spatial distortions.
"Found you!"
A smile curled at Bibi Dong's lips. Her body darted toward the heavily distorted space, raising her giant scythe high. It exploded midair—its powerful blast crossed dimensions, striking directly at Xiao Yu.
This time, it was Xiao Yu whose expression changed drastically. Bibi Dong's strike was even more terrifying than Eternal Creation and Abyssal Slash. Though her shattered scythe arms could regenerate, the energy cost was immense.
A horrifying explosion erupted in the void. Xiao Yu emerged in the distance, looking battered.
Even though he'd activated his torso soul bone's defense skill in time, the explosion still injured him. Blood dripped steadily from his arms.
"Again!"
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and charged forward with the demon scythe, not forgetting to use his teleportation soul bone skill.
Though Bibi Dong could see through his teleportation using her True World, teleportation only consumed soul power at the moment it was cast. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong had to continuously sustain her skull bone skill to guard against it.
Maintaining True World consumed an immense amount of spiritual power—about a third of her total strength just to keep it running. If the fight dragged on, she would inevitably be worn down.
While Xiao Yu and Bibi Dong fought fiercely, the battle between Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was nearing its end.
Dugu Bo had already reached Rank 97, while Chrysanthemum Douluo remained at Rank 95. A Rank 97 Title Douluo could easily suppress two Rank 95s. No matter how Yue Guan struggled, he was destined to be crushed.
"Yue Guan! Weren't you so arrogant before? What happened now, huh?!"
Dugu Bo grew more confident as the fight continued. His massive serpent body lashed out, smashing Yue Guan repeatedly—a look of smug satisfaction on his face.
"You damned old poison! I'll fight you to the death!"
Mocked by the Poison Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't bear the insult. A vicious expression crossed his refined, pale face as the final ten-thousand-year spirit ring on his body lit up brilliantly.
The enormous Odd Fragrance Unrivaled Chrysanthemum burst skyward as his soul power erupted fully. He shouted with deliberate slowness, and with each word, the chrysanthemum above grew larger and glowed more brilliantly:
"Chry—san—the—mum—fa—lls—blooms—wilt—hearts—break!"
With the last word, the massive chrysanthemum exploded. Each dazzling golden petal spun like a crescent blade, forming a colossal golden cyclone that descended from the sky, barreling toward Dugu Bo.
"Bring it on!"
Dugu Bo roared, his eighth spirit ring lighting up. Black light enveloped his serpent body, and his emerald eyes turned dark green. A jade bead emerged from his mouth.
This was the Eighth Spirit Skill of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor—Time Freeze.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's ultimate attack froze in that instant. The emerald bead collided unimpeded with the golden tornado formed from the chrysanthemum petals.
Dugu Bo's eyes flared with green light as he shouted, "Merge!"
The green light surged out, instantly dyeing the golden tornado in its hue.
Raising his hand, Dugu Bo summoned the emerald bead from the tornado back into his mouth with a gulp.
"Shatter!"
Another roar erupted from Dugu Bo, and the now emerald-colored chrysanthemum in the sky exploded. A violent wave of energy swept across the battlefield, and Chrysanthemum Douluo, caught in the blast, was flung down like a kite with a broken string.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo lifted his head and asked calmly, staring at Dugu Bo hovering in the air above him.
That ninth spirit skill had consumed most of his energy. After being struck by Time Freeze, Dugu Bo could have easily ended him with another skill or a dose of his lethal poison.
"I've always drawn a clear line between gratitude and grievance. You've humiliated me many times, beaten me down till I was a mess. So today, I paid you back by giving you a beating of your own to settle that old debt.
But I also know that with your strength—and that ghostly partner of yours—it wouldn't have been hard to kill me back then. And yet you didn't. You only kept me locked in a corner of Heaven Dou City, sparing my life. So today I'll spare yours—to repay the mercy you once showed me."
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a transcendent expert—but in truth, he just wanted to show off in front of his longtime rival.
Still, his words weren't false. Had Chrysanthemum Douluo not shown restraint back when Dugu Bo was only a Rank 91 Title Douluo, he would've never survived their encounters. Only out of appreciation for Dugu Bo's struggle to advance did Yue Guan let him live.
Having said his piece, Dugu Bo's massive serpent body coiled and shot off toward the battlefield where his granddaughter Dugu Yan was fighting Tuoba Xi.
"Damn old poison…"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's nose tingled. He hadn't expected Dugu Bo to acknowledge that old favor.
Watching Dugu Bo's figure vanish into the distance, he didn't pursue.
That earlier battle had exhausted most of his spirit power, and chasing now wouldn't help. Besides, Dugu Bo had already repaid the debt. If he chased again, Dugu Bo wouldn't hold back next time.
Compared to Bibi Dong's grand cause, Chrysanthemum Douluo valued his own life more.
Among the elders and worshippers, the only one he truly cared about was his close companion Ghost Douluo. As for the rest, they'd have to fend for themselves.
Dugu Bo, in his serpent form, surged onto the battlefield. Tuoba Xi, already overwhelmed by Dugu Yan, panicked at the sight of Dugu Bo's arrival. Dugu Yan immediately seized the opening.
A torrent of golden aura erupted from her body like a volcano. Her ninth spirit ring lit up.
Ninth Spirit Skill—Golden Flood Dragon Soul!
A fierce golden dragon soul burst from her body and charged at Tuoba Xi with ferocity. In the blink of an eye, it devoured him whole.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
With a chilling scream, Tuoba Xi's robust body disintegrated under the golden dragon's assault, becoming the first fallen Title Douluo in this war.
Just as Tuoba Xi died, Dugu Bo arrived. Looking at Dugu Yan with concern, he asked, "Yan Yan, are you hurt?"
Dugu Yan twitched her lips slightly, half-complaining and half-coquettish, "Grandpa, you still treat me like a child? Don't forget, I'm a Title Douluo now—just like you!"
"Yes, yes, our Yan Yan is a Title Douluo now. You'll surpass Grandpa someday!"
Dugu Bo lovingly patted her head and smiled.
While the grandfather and granddaughter exchanged words, two more battlefields reached their conclusions—Ling Yuan Douluo versus Yuna, and Devil Bear Douluo versus Cang Mo.
Yuna, transformed into a blue eagle, and Cang Mo, as a blazing lion, lit up their 100,000-year eighth spirit rings.
"Eighth Spirit Skill—Divine Eagle Shadow Break!"
"Eighth Spirit Skill—Raging Flame!"
Violent energy surged in all directions. Facing deadly danger, Ling Yuan Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo both unleashed their ninth spirit skills.
"Ninth Spirit Skill—Heaven-Shattering Devil Bear Strike!"
"Ninth Spirit Skill—Ashfire Hell!"
In the blink of an eye, the four soul skills clashed. The sky trembled, the winds howled, and even the world itself seemed to quake.
Though Yuna and Cang Mo used their eighth spirit skills, their rings were 100,000-year-level. Ling Yuan Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo's ninth rings were under 80,000 years.
The gap between a 100,000-year soul skill and a ten-thousand-year one was as vast as the difference between a 100,000-year beast and a mere ten-thousand-year one—an absolute divide.
Boom!
The ninth spirit skills from Devil Bear Douluo and Ling Yuan Douluo were crushed after brief resistance. Cang Mo and Yuna's attacks landed squarely on them. Explosive energy detonated instantly, shaking the air violently. Brilliant light burst forth, dazzling in the night.
Devil Bear Douluo and Ling Yuan Douluo's bodies exploded, leaving only a mist of blood behind.
Cang Mo and Yuna surveyed the battlefield. Yi Hui was locked in a fierce fight with the Lion Priest. Eden and Guangling Douluo were evenly matched. But Zi Long, facing three opponents, was gaining the upper hand.
Exchanging glances, Cang Mo and Yuna made a quick decision.
Blue and red figures streaked across the night like meteors, each knocking a Rank 91 Title Douluo flying. Only Porcupinefish Douluo remained to face Zi Long.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of brutal impacts later, the two Rank 91 Title Douluo elders were slain by Cang Mo and Yuna.
Now alone, Porcupinefish Douluo was no match for the Rank 96 Zi Long.
"Seventh Spirit Skill—Martial Soul True Body!"
His seventh ring lit up as his body rapidly expanded into a massive porcupinefish. With a roar, countless spikes shot toward Zi Long like a storm.
Zi Long responded in kind, releasing his Martial Soul True Body. A brilliant green glow enveloped him, and with a dragon's roar, he transformed into a colossal dragon over ten meters long. Energy erupted around him like a volcano, forming a powerful shockwave.
The storm of spikes was instantly neutralized, and Porcupinefish Douluo was blasted away.
