The long halberd instantly pierced through Huo Yuhao's body.
The last thing he could do was to shift his body half a foot to the side as much as possible, barely avoiding the vital point of his heart. The purple-black light entered from his right back, then pierced through his body and the Immortal Spirit Wood Armor, protruding from his right chest. Huo Yuhao could no longer maintain his body's stability, and his whole person pitched forward.
Die Qiu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, watching helplessly as the long halberd pierced through Huo Yuhao's back, the halberd blade appearing in front of Huo Yuhao's chest.
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth hard. He clapped his hands together, and vines surged up from the ground, forming a net that sent Die Qiu flying.
"At death's door, and you still have the heart to protect others?" Tang San sneered. He had no interest in Huo Yuhao's women. In his view, women were like clothes and could be discarded at any time. For Huo Yuhao to step into a dangerous situation for Ma Xiaotao was precisely his most fatal weakness.
"A mere fatal wound..." A hoarse laugh came from Huo Yuhao's mouth.
His spiritual power and remaining soul power, at this moment, were completely concentrated on his chest, forcefully holding back and preventing the evil divine power on the trident from erupting.
"A physical injury probably doesn't count for much to you. However, the ultimate evil Rakshasa divine power will erode your soul." Tang San increased the input of Rakshasa's divine power. He could not control this body for long. The most urgent task was to wear down Huo Yuhao's soul at the fastest speed.
Die Qiu, who had been sent flying far away, finally landed. Before she could even recover her senses, she saw a scene that shattered her heart—
Tang San held the trident and slowly rose into the air. In the darkness before dawn, he held Huo Yuhao's body high, the latter looking so helpless.
"No, no... NO—"
Die Qiu only felt that something important was slipping through her fingertips. Don't forget, both she and the Snow Empress had signed a soul spirit symbiosis contract with Huo Yuhao. Once Huo Yuhao died, whether it was her or the Snow Empress, they would disappear from this world.
Of course, what she cared about most was Huo Yuhao's life.
Die Qiu's face was mournful as she rushed towards Huo Yuhao's direction. No matter what, she could not accept the fact that Huo Yuhao was about to die.
Huo Yuhao had pushed her away as a subconscious act of protection. He didn't even have time to unilaterally dissolve the soul spirit symbiosis contract.
"It ends here, Huo Yuhao, you..." Tang San was just about to reap the fruits of his victory, but then, as if he had sensed something, he flung the trident, casually tossing Huo Yuhao's body away, and instead thrust in a certain direction.
A silver silhouette streaked across the night sky as the Silver Dragon Spear and the Sea King's Trident met in a gentle clash.
Ding.
In the instant of contact, circles of abundant elemental fluctuations spread from the tip of the Silver Dragon Spear. The seven great elements of water, fire, earth, wind, light, dark, and space intertwined, and an elemental tide instantly submerged Tang San.
At this most critical juncture, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, had dared to come. She had originally planned to take care of the two great divine beasts, Niu Tian and Titan, over there first. But Huo Yuhao's Silver Dragon Reverse Scale had transmitted an extremely dangerous signal to her.
"I didn't expect there to be such an existence as you in the soul beast lineage..." Tang San remembered that he seemed to have seen this woman from afar in Dragon City. At that time, Gu Yuena was hiding very well, and he hadn't paid it any mind. Now that he had become a deity, he could clearly feel the different levels of energy fluctuations within Gu Yuena's body.
Undoubtedly, this woman was also a deity!
Gu Yuena hadn't wanted to intervene. The injuries she had sustained back then would take at least another ten thousand years to heal. The Tang San before her, who had obtained the remains of the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong, was also not an opponent she could easily defeat.
She thought for a moment, and with a flash of silver light in her hand, the huge piece of Gold of Life from beneath the Lake of Life appeared in her hand.
"Yuhao!" Bibi Dong, who had been sleeping within it, woke up immediately. She had left a sensory imprint in Huo Yuhao's body and was the first to notice Huo Yuhao's situation.
"Do you have any way to deal with your former body?" Gu Yuena sent her a telepathic message.
"Let me return to Yuhao's body first!" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were full of anxiety. She could clearly feel that the Rakshasa divine power that Tang San had injected into Huo Yuhao's body earlier had triggered the hidden injuries left behind when she had previously possessed Huo Yuhao. The Rakshasa God's innate yin, cold, and ultimate evil aura was wreaking havoc in the latter's body. Huo Yuhao's self-healing speed simply couldn't keep up with the destructive speed of this aura.
If this continued, in less than a moment, Huo Yuhao would die from the continuously worsening injuries in his body.
The power that Bibi Dong had once dreamed of had now become the sharp weapon that was killing the person she cherished.
Gu Yuena looked at her with surprise. For some reason, seeing Huo Yuhao on the verge of death, a nameless anger rose in her heart. "Alright, go then."
Bibi Dong did not hesitate. Her divine sense transformed into a streak of electric light, shooting towards Huo Yuhao, who had fallen on the ground.
Huo Yuhao's body had her unique imprint, so Bibi Dong's divine sense would not encounter any obstruction when entering his spiritual sea.
"Your Majesty!"
In the spiritual sea, the several great fierce beast soul spirits, who were in a state of chaos, seemed to have found their backbone upon seeing Bibi Dong's return, and they all gathered around her.
"How is Yuhao's situation now?" Bibi Dong had no time to reminisce with them. As soon as she arrived, she directly asked about the most critical matter at hand.
"It's the Rakshasa's evil thoughts..."
In the real world, Die Qiu ran over to Huo Yuhao in a panic, grabbed his hand, and was about to inject her soul power to detect the latter's injuries.
However, as soon as her attributes of Ultimate Fire and Light entered Huo Yuhao's body, they had a strong rejection reaction with the residual Rakshasa divine power.
At this time, Huo Yuhao's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes carried a trace of pain and determination. His body was limp and weak, the blood from his chest had soaked through his clothes. His half-closed eyes revealed a trace of pain, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if he were resisting the intense pain.
His breathing was rapid and uneven. His hands were stiffly clenched into fists, his knuckles prominent, looking as if he were being tortured.
"Hao, don't scare me..." As the Auspicious Beast, this was the first time Die Qiu had been so at a loss. What Huo Yuhao had suffered was clearly no ordinary injury. If not for his identity as the Son of Life of the Douluo Continent, he would have long been killed by the divine power raging in his body.
"Get out of this body!" The battle between Gu Yuena and Tang San had already begun. Tang San's strength was certainly unable to threaten the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena. But this physical body that Tang San was driving was very important to Bibi Dong. Unless it was a last resort, Gu Yuena did not want to destroy it.
"Then that will depend on the ability of the co-lord of soul beasts." The current Tang San, without the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, was at a disadvantage when facing Gu Yuena, whose spiritual power was superior.
The advantage of Gu Yuena's God King-level spiritual power was revealed at this moment. She used her spiritual power as an offensive means, continuously attacking Tang San's soul, trying to force him out.
In the spiritual sea, after several twists and turns, Bibi Dong finally found Huo Yuhao's spiritual body, lying on the floor of the Pope's Palace, rolling around.
"Yuhao!"
"Cough... uh, why is it Your Majesty..." Huo Yuhao barely opened his eyes. Seeing Bibi Dong again, it was as if he were in a dream.
"Yuhao, you will be fine. It's my divine power that has harmed you..." Bibi Dong pulled him into her arms, and the Power of HaoDong began to circulate.
"Your... physical body, is in Tang San's... hands." Huo Yuhao managed to spit out a few words. His brain, having been ravaged by countless evil thoughts, felt like it was about to explode.
"We don't want it anymore, we don't want it..." Bibi Dong tried to retract the vast Rakshasa divine power left in Huo Yuhao's body. But she was no longer the Rakshasa God of the past. How could she control the Rakshasa divine power?
"My body was destroyed by Qian Xunji long ago. If that Tang San fancies it, then let him have it." Bibi Dong's fair forehead rested against Huo Yuhao's chest. "As long as you can live, it's more important than anything, even if I can only live on in this form forever."
"Have the co-lord of soul beasts kill Tang San. In that case, the Rakshasa divine thoughts in your body will be weakened to the greatest extent, and you will be saved."
"But in that case, you will..." Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the noble and peerless empress before him, his heart hesitating.
"With you, my lord." Bibi Dong did not raise her head, but her tone was unusually firm.
Soul power flowed. A faint golden light was released from both Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong. The crystal-clear golden light made the light emanating from the two of them grow stronger and stronger.
Their Power of HaoDong, with their two bodies as the center, formed a huge golden vortex, which circulated and forcibly transformed the Rakshasa divine power in Huo Yuhao's body into pure soul power.
It had been a long, long time since Huo Yuhao had felt this kind of ultimate pleasure that originated from the depths of his soul...
As those Rakshasa's evil thoughts were continuously refined by their Power of HaoDong, Huo Yuhao's breathing also gradually became rapid.
He suddenly pinched Bibi Dong's snow-white chin, and towards the latter's blushing cheek, he kissed her heavily.
