Chapter 366: Qian Renxue vs. Bibi Dong
Ten thousand meters above ground, Qian Renxue transformed into a streak of platinum light and charged at Bibi Dong.
"Golden Thirteen Halberds, First Style—Turbulent Storms."
Fury flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She swept the Sea God's Trident, releasing massive waves of golden mist. That light mist, guided by the trident's tip, formed radiant golden halos. Though they appeared chaotic, they flew toward Qian Renxue as if guided by intent. Two of them even veered toward Qian Renchuan—Bibi Dong clearly enraged that they would dare to look down on her and prepared to take on both simultaneously.
"Angel, Purification!"
A radiant platinum light burst from Qian Renxue's body, illuminating the entire sky in divine brilliance. The rapidly spinning golden rings of Turbulent Storms were immediately frozen mid-air, as if their energy had been sealed.
"What?!"
Bibi Dong immediately realized this was similar to when Bo Saixi had fought Qian Renxue. But Bo Saixi had been completely overwhelmed—any water-based soul power attack was utterly useless. Her own skill, Turbulent Storms, had been severely suppressed.
The Seraphim martial spirit had evolved, but it still belonged to the Angel God. The Angel God's divine seat was on the same level as the Sea God—though the Sea God, having reached the peak of first-class gods, was perhaps slightly stronger.
Because of that, Turbulent Storms' control duration was reduced from eight seconds to three. The halos' speed also drastically dropped.
"Imperial Sword—Absolute Frost."
Qian Renxue raised her hand. The Snow Empress Crown on her forehead glowed with dazzling white light. Three graceful arcs traced through the air, forming a pure white three-foot sword identical in length to the Angelic Sword.
This evolved divine-grade sword, when unleashed, truly countered Turbulent Storms just like Bo Saixi had once suffered. The golden halos were cleaved apart like tofu.
"She has two divine weapons?!"
Bibi Dong was utterly stunned. She never imagined that this "mongrel" Qian Renxue wielded two divine artifacts, and one of them perfectly restrained Sea God powers.
The Sea God's Trident clashed with Qian Renxue's swords.
Behind them, Qian Renchuan casually swung his own blade. The two Turbulent Storms aimed at him were obliterated by Asura divine energy. Seeing his sister going all out, he relaxed.
Bibi Dong had inherited the Sea God's seat more recently—and not through the most orthodox path. She couldn't use the divine power to its fullest. Her mental strength was also weaker than Qian Renxue, whose Snow Empress Crown had greatly enhanced her soul power. Plus, Qian Renxue wielded two divine weapons—one that directly countered Sea God powers.
This battle, Bibi Dong could not win.

On the battlefield below, Sea God Island's forces clashed with the Star Alliance's million-strong army. The Four Sacred Pillars, rewarded from the Sea God's Ninth Trial, had all broken through to rank 96 and 97.
In Sea God Island's long history, only a few had reached rank 97 outside of the High Priestess. Even reaching 96 was rare.
BOOM!
The Four Sacred Pillars froze. So did Bo Saixi.
Above the army appeared six golden-armored elders, each with a different-colored cape—but all shared one trait: they were all rank 99 Title Douluos, just like Bo Saixi.
Bibi Dong had inherited Rakshasa later than Qian Renxue and Qian Renchuan. She spent more time obtaining the Sea God's seat. Sailing to the mainland from Sea God Island had taken ten days. In that time, Spirit Hall had not been sitting idle.
With time and resources, a god could easily raise soul masters' power. Remember how Tang San in the original novel used his divine blood to boost Yu Xiaogang—a 60-year-old rank-50—up to rank 93?

Toward the rear of the Star Alliance army, a massive Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, over ten meters tall, radiated rainbow light. It bore seven rings—two yellow, two purple, three black. The one wielding it was, of course, Ning Rongrong.
Facing Bibi Dong again, this time Ning Rongrong felt none of the thrill from the Battle of Jialing Pass. She didn't want to assist anyone.
But she was now Ah Yin's maid. Brought to this battlefield at Jialing Pass, she had no choice. For a comfortable future—and her clan—she gave it her all to rack up merit.
Also on the battlefield were Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. Their soul power had been raised by Qian Renchuan to match Ning Rongrong's rank as Soul Saints—just enough to be useful.
Otherwise, given Zhu Zhuqing's body, worn down from Tang Hao's abuse, it was doubtful she'd ever break through before dying. Xiao Wu, freshly revived, had been only a Soul Sect. Even her 100,000-year beast core was gone after being brought back.
"Retreat! Sea God Island soul masters—fall back to Vast Sea City!"
Bo Saixi shouted. Facing six rank-99 opponents, even she could only fight two at once. Letting Sea God Island's soul masters die here was unthinkable.
After issuing the order, Bo Saixi charged toward the six Title Douluos—one against six.

Ten Thousand Meters Above Ground
"Golden Thirteen Halberds, Third Style—No Return!"
Bibi Dong was forced to retreat repeatedly by Qian Renxue's twin swords. Her long violet hair had already been chopped in places.
At the right moment, Bibi Dong threw her Sea God's Trident. It shot forth, trailing illusory golden light, warping space as it pierced toward Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue quickly recognized the move—it resembled her mother's Blue Silver Tyrant Spear. She raised both blades, blocking the trident at its twin points. Channeling her Angel God power into both arms, she redirected the force aside.
Then—
Her size-43 foot, in eight-centimeter heels, slammed directly into Bibi Dong's face.
