The eyes of the experts from Spirit Hall were involuntarily drawn to Xiao Wu, but Yue Guan and Gui Mei, both Titled Douluo, stared intently at the Titan Giant Ape beneath her feet.
Although this 100,000-year Spirit Beast was not intentionally releasing its pressure at this moment, its mere silent squatting posture gave off an indescribable sense of oppression—as if it were not a body of flesh and blood, but an ancient, unmoving black mountain, so heavy it was suffocating.
Gui Mei's black robe billowed without wind, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper rubbing together: "This beast is more terrifying than the rumors say."
The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in Yue Guan's hand involuntarily bloomed, its golden petals trembling violently.
Bibi Dong's scepter glowed faintly, and a fervent glint flashed in her eyes.
She could feel that within the seemingly calm Titan Giant Ape, a terrifying power capable of shaking heaven and earth lay dormant, and this was one of her goals.
A ripple appeared in Xiao Wu's clear eyes, tinged with a hint of unfulfilled melancholy.
She gazed quietly at Bibi Dong, her voice as soft as a breeze sweeping through the forest: "It's really you... For all these years, you've been searching for my whereabouts, haven't you?"
Her slender fingers gently brushed the Titan Giant Ape's fur, "Then today, let's end this here."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong let out a disdainful chuckle: "Just with these two beasts?"
Her scepter lightly tapped the ground, emitting a crisp sound, "Or are you saying—" she deliberately paused, "—that you, a mere Spirit Emperor, can make any waves in front of me?"
Xiao Wu silently gazed at the Spirit Hall members, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.
Her slender fingers involuntarily clenched the corner of her clothes, her heart already knowing that today would likely be a perilous one.
Suddenly, the Titan Giant Ape beneath her feet let out an earth-shattering roar, its yellow-crystal-like eyes suddenly erupting with dazzling light, shining like two blazing suns even in broad daylight.
A mountain-like majestic aura was unleashed, and the lake in front of them trembled violently, sending out circles of turbulent ripples.
"Roar—Humans! Today, I will reclaim the blood debt for Sister Xiao Wu!"
The Titan Giant Ape's massive body suddenly stood upright, its fifteen-meter-tall figure casting a shadow that covered the sky, its terrifying pressure instantly raising colossal waves across the entire lake surface.
Xiao Wu remained steadily on its shoulder, her long black hair flying wildly in the turbulent airflow, her white clothes flapping, like an unyielding white lotus in a storm.
Under this World-destroying pressure, Bibi Dong's eyes remained as calm as water.
She slightly turned her head, exchanging a glance with Ju and Gui Douluo.
The two understood, simultaneously releasing their Spirits, and eighteen spirit rings bloomed with dazzling light by the lakeside.
Gui Mei's hoarse voice sounded: "Chrysanthemum Pass."
Yue Guan frowned, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in his hand glowing: "Old Ghost, watch your address in front of juniors."
The moment their eyes met, years of tacit understanding allowed them to comprehend each other.
The golden chrysanthemum in Yue Guan's hand bloomed furiously against the wind, his seventh spirit ring suddenly lighting up: "Spirit True Body!"
Facing an opponent like the Titan Giant Ape, he dared not hold back the slightest, unleashing his full power from the start.
Gui Mei, meanwhile, turned to Hu Liena and the others, his black robe billowing without wind: "Everyone, stand by."
Before his voice faded, his figure had already soared into the air like a ghost, transforming into a blurry black mist, even the spirit rings around him becoming illusory and indistinct.
A hint of disdain flashed in the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming's beast eyes, which were like blazing suns.
Facing the pincer attack of two Titled Douluo, it gently shook its shoulder, and Xiao Wu soared into the air like a light feather, landing steadily on the large tree behind it.
The moment Xiao Wu left, this 100,000-year Spirit Beast suddenly erupted!
Gui Mei and Yue Guan's expressions changed simultaneously—they clearly felt that as the Titan Giant Ape charged, the surrounding air suddenly became as viscous as a swamp.
Their bodies felt as if they were filled with lead, their normally lightning-fast movements instantly slowed down, and even the scenery in their vision began to twist and deform.
"Domain!" Gui Mei was greatly alarmed, his black robe billowing violently.
The Titan Giant Ape's mountain-like giant fist smashed down with a roar, and the two Titled Douluo were startled to find that the surrounding earth elements were converging wildly, as if the power of the entire earth was condensed within this single punch.
Yue Guan's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum instantly bloomed with dazzling golden light, his seventh spirit ring flashing wildly: "Old Ghost, combine forces!"
Before the punch even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the ground beneath their feet to crack inch by inch.
The might of this punch seemed to want to overturn the entire lake!
"Hmph! How presumptuous!"
Bibi Dong let out a cold snort, her gilded scepter heavily striking the ground.
In an instant, a divine pressure that transcended the mortal realm erupted, and the earthy-yellow gravity Domain actually receded like a tide under the impact of this aura, its range suddenly shrinking by a circle.
The loosening of the Domain suppression brought relief to Ju and Gui, and their figures instantly transformed into two streaks of light, one gold and one black, narrowly avoiding that World-destroying punch.
The Titan Giant Ape's fist grazed past their afterimages, smashing into the ground with a deafening roar that made the entire lake tremble.
Feng Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and a storm raged in his heart.
The strength Bibi Dong displayed at this moment far exceeded his expectations—this pressure, this effortless Domain suppression, had probably reached the level of ninety-six, or even ninety-seven!
It was far stronger than in the original work at the same period.
He silently observed Bibi Dong's back, her Supreme Pontiff robe billowing without wind, her entire being exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
Could it be that the Rakshasa God's inheritance progress was faster than expected with such strength?
Just at this critical moment, the lake suddenly exploded with towering splashes.
Countless crystal-clear water droplets refracted colorful light in the sunlight, and a moist mist instantly filled the air.
A giant ox head with a diameter of over four meters broke out of the water, its dark green scales gleaming with a cold luster, and the colossal ox-headed, snake-bodied creature soared into the sky, opening its mouth to unleash a World-destroying azure breath, heading straight for Hu Liena and the others.
Bibi Dong, however, remained calm and composed in her original spot, as if everything was under her control.
Her nine spirit rings gracefully pulsed around her, and her fifth spirit ring suddenly bloomed with dazzling black light: "Fifth Spirit Ability, Thousand Blades Myriad Shields!"
In an instant, countless black energy shields condensed in the void, forming a dense, impenetrable defensive barrier, layer upon layer.
The azure breath, powerful enough to melt metal, struck the shield formation but was completely neutralized as if a mud ox had entered the sea, leaving only ripples of distortion in the air.
Feng Xiao noticed that Bibi Dong didn't even raise her scepter when casting the Spirit Ability, this effortless control once again confirming her unfathomable strength.
What was even more alarming was that she seemed to have already anticipated that the Sky Azure Bull Python would launch a surprise attack at this moment.
"Second Brother, kill them!" The Sky Azure Bull Python spoke human words, its cold gaze sweeping over the people on the shore like sharp blades.
In an instant, the entire World seemed to be dyed azure, and all Spirit Hall members, including Feng Xiao, felt their bodies suddenly sink, their movements slowing by at least thirty percent.
"Roar—" The Titan Giant Ape responded with an earth-shattering roar, its thick hind legs suddenly exerting force.
Its mountain-like massive body actually leaped lightly under the effect of the gravity control Domain, smashing towards the Spirit Hall members like a meteor.
This counter-intuitive scene was horrifying—a fifteen-meter-tall giant beast soaring into the air, yet as light as a feather, only its terrifying shadow indicating its destructive impact.
"Big words." Bibi Dong sneered, the gem on her scepter glowing with an eerie purple light.
"Old Ghost!" Yue Guan suddenly shouted, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in his hand emitting dazzling golden light.
"Mmm." Gui Mei responded hoarsely, his black robe billowing without wind.
In an instant, black and gold lights intertwined like milk and water.
The eighteen spirit rings on their bodies simultaneously lit up, weaving into a brilliant golden and silver dual-colored halo in the void.
The halo grew with the wind, transforming into a giant light wheel with a diameter of a hundred meters, suspended in the sky in the blink of an eye.
Heaven and earth seemed to freeze at this moment—the Titan Giant Ape, mid-leap in the air, became a fixed shadow, and the azure light spat by the Sky Azure Bull Python was as still as an insect in amber.
Even the swaying tree shadows by the lake stopped moving, the entire World only leaving behind the slowly rotating golden and silver halo.
"Polar Static Domain!"
Time and space seemed to be paused at this moment—the Titan Giant Ape's massive body was frozen in mid-air, its muscular limbs still maintaining the posture of leaping; the Sky Azure Bull Python's huge body, which had just surfaced, was also fixed, and the water droplets dripping from its azure scales remained suspended in the air, refracting crystal-clear light.
Bibi Dong seemed to have anticipated this, holding her scepter, she walked gracefully and calmly towards Xiao Wu.
Her gilded robe trailed an eerie path in the static space, and the sound of her scepter tapping the ground became the only sound in this frozen World.
"Sister Xiao Wu!" The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming let out a heartbreaking roar, but even its voice was confined within this static Domain.
"Go quickly!" The Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming struggled to break free, its azure eyes filled with anxiety.
But in this Polar Static Domain, even the power of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast seemed so powerless.
Xiao Wu stood still, her white skirt maintaining the curve of being blown by the wind.
She looked at Bibi Dong approaching step by step, but there was no fear in her eyes, only an indescribable calm.
It seemed like a silent farewell.
She did not choose to escape, because she knew better than anyone—once she left, what cruel fate would await her companions.
"Little San... Are you doing well now?"
She looked towards the distant sky, a gentle ripple appearing in her eyes.
That face she longed for day and night seemed to be right before her, making her both want to see him immediately and hope he would never appear here.
A crystal-clear tear slid down her cheek, refracting colorful light in the sunlight.
How she wished to know what the boy who combed her hair looked like now, how she wished to know if he still kept that wooden comb, but she hoped even more that he would never step into this death trap.
Feng Xiao silently followed behind Bibi Dong, his gaze complex as he looked at Xiao Wu not far away.
The girl's slender figure appeared so fragile in the wind, yet also carried a resolute tenacity.
He was not a saint, but he also understood that every life had the right to pursue survival.
The despair emanating from Xiao Wu at this moment, like a tangible entity, stung his senses.
It was a stubbornness of knowing death was certain yet still holding one's head high, a dignity that refused to bow down in the face of absolute power.
Bibi Dong's scepter tapped the ground with a crisp sound, each step like a countdown of fate.
"Let them go, and I'll go with you." Xiao Wu gazed at Bibi Dong, a hint of resentment flashing in her beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, but it was quickly replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.
Bibi Dong lightly tapped the ground with her scepter, a cold sneer curving her red lips: "Do you think you have the right to negotiate?"
"Is that so..." Xiao Wu murmured softly, her fingertips involuntarily digging into her palm.
"Sister Xiao Wu! Don't mind us! It's not that easy to kill us!" Da Ming's telepathic message exploded in her mind.
However, Xiao Wu remained standing still.
Because she knew better than anyone—just as Bibi Dong said, she had no room for bargaining at all.
The memory of her mother falling in a pool of blood resurfaced, that terrifying Spirit Ability that she would never forget, still made her shiver when she thought of it.
If she didn't comply, she knew very well what would await Da Ming and Er Ming.
Xiao Wu's gaze slowly shifted to Feng Xiao.
For some reason, the aura emanating from this unfamiliar man made her feel inexplicably close—that gentle, jade-like feeling was somewhat similar to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
"His aura is so similar to Little San's..." Her heart stirred slightly, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, "Perhaps... he will be a good person?"
But in an instant, her gaze became firm again.
Regardless of whether the person in front of her was good or evil, it could not change the choice she had to make at this moment.
Bibi Dong watched Xiao Wu's unusually firm gaze, her brows slightly furrowed.
Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Wu suddenly said softly: "You took my mother's life... Now my life is also in your hands..."
Bibi Dong's scepter paused slightly, thinking this Soft Bones Rabbit was finally going to beg for her companions.
However, the next second—
Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, her shrill voice like weeping blood: "But you will never get everything you want!"
Before her voice faded, a dazzling red light suddenly erupted around her, and the primal power of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast began to burn wildly.
This resolute scene made even the Titan Giant Ape, confined within the Domain, let out a heartbreaking roar.
"Ah—!"
A heartbreaking shriek suddenly burst from Xiao Wu's throat, the sound wave shaking the tree canopy of the entire Star Dou Great Forest violently.
In an instant, dazzling blood-red light exploded from her brow, transforming into a crimson halo that rapidly spread.
Wherever the red light passed, everything was dyed crimson, and time and space seemed to completely freeze at this moment.
Even the falling leaves were suspended in mid-air, maintaining their blood-stained posture.
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, the powerful spirit power fluctuations instantly making her understand Xiao Wu's intention.
But when she tried to stop her, she found that the absolute stillness generated by this blood-red Domain was so strong that even she, a ninety-seventh-level Super Douluo, could not break free.
The gem on her scepter flashed frantically, but she couldn't even mobilize a trace of spirit power.
In this blood-red World, only Xiao Wu's figure slowly ascended.
Her snow-white long dress had been dyed a tragic red, and her black hair danced wildly in the blood-red light, like a spider lily blooming in despair.
"Roar—!!!"
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python simultaneously let out earth-shattering roars, their entire bodies erupting with dazzling light.
The two great 100,000-year Spirit Beasts spewed thick blood mist from their mouths, and the violent energy impact instantly broke through Ju and Gui Douluo's Spirit Fusion Ability.
The golden and silver static Domain shattered like fragile glass, turning into countless light particles and dissipating.
In this blood-red Domain, only Xiao Wu, at the center of the red light, could move freely.
Her entire body had turned a translucent dark red, as if carved from the purest ruby, every inch of her skin radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.
Feng Xiao felt the massive energy continuously pouring into his body, and an unprecedented complex expression appeared on his face.
He had imagined countless endings, but he never expected that Xiao Wu would choose to entrust her life and cultivation to him through sacrifice.
"Although I don't know who you are..." Xiao Wu's voice gently echoed in the blood-red light, she gazed at Feng Xiao, a gentle glow appearing in her eyes, "But your aura makes me feel very safe."
A strong light suddenly burst forth, and Xiao Wu's pale face suddenly glowed with astonishing radiance.
A relieved smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she had shed all burdens.
Crimson blood flames rose from her feet—that was not ordinary flame, but the fire of sacrifice fueled by blood, life, and 100,000 years of cultivation.
The flames gradually changed from bright red to dark red, and Xiao Wu's body also became transparent, like a melting red crystal, every inch of her skin flowing with a heartbreaking luster.
A giant red halo slowly contracted with her as its center, and wherever it passed, even space itself twisted.
At this last moment, Xiao Wu's gaze pierced through the blood-red light curtain, looking towards the depths of the forest, as if bidding farewell to a figure she would never see again.
