Chapter 70: Bibi Dong… Death Spider Emperor
Somewhere in the inner region of the Star Dou Forest—
A massive silver serpent soul beast, its body gleaming like molten silver, was locked in fierce combat with a dragon formed from the martial soul fusion skill of Dragon Duke and Snake Grandmother.
Golden antler-like horns rose from its head, with delicate whiskers flowing beside its neck.
Its fist-sized eyes radiated golden light, exuding an intimidating aura.
Its body was covered in thick golden dragon scales, and beneath it, four razor-sharp claws slashed relentlessly—
Forcing the serpent into continuous retreat.
This silver serpent—
Was a seventy-thousand-year soul beast.
Silverlight Serpent.
It possessed a trace of Silver Dragon bloodline, making it a top-tier existence among soul beasts.
For Meng Shu's Dragon Staff martial soul, it was an exceptionally compatible match.
However—
Its abdomen looked as though it had been blasted apart.
The surrounding silver scales were charred black, flesh torn open, blood flowing continuously.
This—
Was Dugu Bo's handiwork.
And the reason it could no longer contend against the fused Dragon Duke and Snake Grandmother.
At the start—
Their fusion technique had been completely suppressed by the serpent.
But unexpectedly—
Dugu Bo, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly made his move.
He threw out two Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life-Taking Balls—
Severely wounding the beast in a single strike.
The poison within them invaded its body, causing it to grow weaker as the battle dragged on.
Suddenly—
A shrill scream rang out.
The Silverlight Serpent's massive body crashed heavily to the ground—
Kicking up clouds of dust.
Soon—
A deep black soul ring slowly condensed above its corpse.
Dugu Bo descended from the air, landing beside the enormous body.
Dragon Duke and Snake Grandmother also released their fusion state.
Though their faces were pale—
Their joy was impossible to hide.
A seventy-thousand-year soul beast—
Even for a Title Douluo's ninth soul ring, it would be more than sufficient.
Yet now—
It would become Meng Shu's eighth soul ring.
How could they not be overjoyed?
This was pure luck.
Not long after entering the Star Dou Forest—
They had encountered such a powerful soul beast.
Chao Tianxiang steadied her breathing and said,
"Go absorb the soul ring. I'll protect you."
Meng Shu nodded eagerly and stepped forward—
But at that moment—
From the core region of the Star Dou Forest—
A roar that shook the heavens erupted.
Several overwhelming auras followed.
The entire inner region fell into chaos.
Soul beasts fled in panic, rushing back toward their territories to hide.
Dugu Bo's expression changed instantly.
"This… a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? And… a Title Douluo?!"
Because they were close to the core—
The sensation was extremely clear.
He immediately thought of Bibi Dong's group—
And the three overlord soul beasts of the core region.
Clearly—
They had already begun fighting.
If he went now—
And seized the right moment—
He might be able to take advantage of the situation.
"You two find somewhere to hide," Dugu Bo said rapidly.
"Chao Tianxiang, protect Meng Shu while he absorbs the ring. I'll go take a look!"
Without waiting for a response—
His soul power erupted, and he vanished instantly.
Leaving the two behind, completely bewildered.
Elsewhere in the forest—
The Dark Devilgod Tiger also raised its head toward the core region.
Within its fierce eyes—
A trace of human-like thought flickered.
With intelligence comparable to humans—
It could easily tell that its old enemies—
The Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python—
Were battling human soul masters.
It began to consider—
Whether to join the chaos.
Perhaps—
It could gain something from it.
But—
It wasn't the only one thinking that way.
In the end—
It would come down to strength.
Star Dou Forest — Core Region
ROOOAR—!!!
The Titan Giant Ape roared toward the sky.
Using its gravity domain, it bent its powerful hind legs—
And launched itself into the air.
Two massive craters remained where it had stood.
The surrounding ground cracked apart.
Its strength was utterly terrifying.
What would it look like—
If a mountain leapt into the sky?
That was the Titan Giant Ape right now.
Despite its enormous size—
Under gravity control, it moved as if weightless—
Leaping toward Bibi Dong and the others.
Its massive fists gathered power midair—
Then smashed down violently.
Before the strike even landed—
The pressure alone whipped their robes violently and shook the surrounding trees.
In the next instant—
The air twisted violently, forming an invisible vortex—
Like a grinding mill—
Or a descending mountain—
Trying to crush them completely.
In terms of strength—
Even when Xiao Wu had been a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—
She was still inferior to these two.
But they had grown up together.
When the Azure Bull Python was still a small snake—
Xiao Wu and her mother had once saved him.
So in their hearts—
Xiao Wu was like an elder sister.
Even after becoming powerful—
That bond never changed.
Of course…
There was another reason.
Both of them secretly admired Xiao Wu.
…
Yeah…
Best not to imagine that.
"Fifth Soul Skill — Gathering of Frost Petals!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's fifth soul ring lit up instantly.
The massive chrysanthemum before him disassembled—
Reforming into a protective barrier in front of them.
Bibi Dong said coldly,
"Use your martial soul fusion skill. I'll block it!"
Everyone knew—
That defense alone wouldn't hold.
As her words fell—
Her seventh and eighth soul rings shone brilliantly.
Facing the Titan Giant Ape—
She dared not be careless.
After all—
She had not yet reached level 95.
With her Martial Soul True Body activated—
Her form expanded rapidly.
She transformed into a massive, terrifying spider—
Like a true soul beast.
Then—
With a flash—
Another identical spider appeared before her.
Aside from slightly duller eyes—
There was no difference at all.
This was her Eighth Soul Skill—
Spider Emperor Clone.
A clone with 100% of her combat power—
Though it lacked intelligence and required control.
This "100%" included not just physical strength—
But even her soul skills.
However—
Only the first seven could be used.
Not the eighth or ninth.
Immediately after—
The clone's fourth soul ring lit up.
Purple-black spikes over a meter long erupted across its entire body.
Its armor thickened dramatically.
And just as she finished—
The Titan Giant Ape descended like a falling mountain—
BOOM—!!!
A violent shockwave exploded outward.
As expected—
The golden chrysanthemum barrier lasted less than a second—
Before being completely shattered by the Titan Giant Ape's overwhelming power.
