Wu Meng remained silent, her condition still unstable, yet her gaze… remained steady.
Then—
Just as Yu Ming stepped within five meters of her— A streak of purple light tore through the air.
Slash—!
The ground between them split open instantly, a deep crack forming like a boundary that could not be crossed.
Yu Ming's movement halted abruptly and his pupils shrank slightly.
He turned his head sharply toward the source of the attack.
There—Stood a graceful, cold and dominating figure of the Pope of the Spirit Hall—Bibi Dong.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was not in her papal attire; she was dressed in simple clothes like an adventurer, yet the fabric and craftsmanship clearly revealed their extraordinary quality. Her rose-coloured hair draped loosely over her shoulder, swaying gently with the faint morning breeze, giving her an appearance that was calm—yet dangerously deceptive.
She held a scythe in her hand, its blade shimmering with a dangerous purple light, exuding a chilling aura that seemed capable of devouring everything it touched.
Her presence alone—was enough to make the surrounding space feel distorted, because Bibi Dong was Level 100 at this moment.
She looked at Yu Ming, her gaze calmly.
"Well…"
Her voice was neither loud nor hurried, but it carried absolute pressure.
"I dare you… to take another step forward."
Yu Ming stood there frozen,
He never thought the hidden safeguard was Bibi Dong who might just send him—on a one-way trip to hell.
In Yu Ming's Spirit Sea, the previously relaxed divine intent of God Eros suddenly stood up, all traces of leisure gone.
'This aura…'
For the first time, his expression turned serious.
"Hey… brat, run for your life," Eros God said sharply, his tone completely different from before. "I can feel the aura of the leader of the Seven Original Sin Gods from her."
Yu Ming's pupils shrank.
Confusion and shock intertwined within him. He had already recognized the woman in front of him as Bibi Dong, but he could not understand how the Rakshasa Goddess—was now associated with the leader of the Seven Original Sin Gods.
Before he could think further, Bibi Dong spoke again. Her voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable chill hidden within it.
"Scum… why don't you take another step forward?"
Her words were not loud, yet they carried a suffocating weight, as if the surrounding air itself had turned viscous.
At the same time, she slowly released her Martial Soul—Death Spider Emperor.
Dark purple energy surged outward like a silent tide. One by one, her soul rings rose around her body.
Black. Black. Black. Black. Red. Red. Red. Red. Red.
Each one pulsed with terrifying pressure, especially the five red hundred-thousand-year rings that radiated a dense, almost tangible killing intent. The moment they appeared, the atmosphere of the entire area changed drastically.
Yu Ming felt his breathing become slightly laboured.
For the first time since obtaining the inheritance of Eros God, a sense of danger—real danger—crept into his mind.
Yet, beneath that fear, there was still unwillingness, there was a little hidden confidence granted by Asura God's "gaze" within him.
He forced a smile onto his face, though it was somewhat stiff.
"So… Spirit Hall's Pope personally stepping in," Yu Ming said, trying to maintain his composure. "What an honour."
But inside, his thoughts were racing.
'Run… or fight?'
Eros God's warning echoed in his mind again, heavier this time.
"Don't be stupid," Eros God continued, his tone low. "That woman is not something you can handle right now."
Yu Ming's heart sank slightly.
Words that were only visible to Bibi Dong floated silently before her eyes,
'6th Trial of Lust:
A message from the Goddess of Lust—Some Gods believe they control the power of lust, yet fail to understand that lust itself is a sin. I particularly dislike that God Eros. I have sensed his inheritor in the Douluo Continent. Go… and kill him.'
Bibi Dong's expression did not change, yet a faint glint flickered in her eyes.
She did not know that what she was undergoing was not merely a sequence of divine trials, but part of a far greater experiment—one meant to test the feasibility of fusing the authorities of seven First-Class Gods to give birth to an entirely new existence… a God King.
At this moment without the intentional blocking of the test giver based on her talent she had already completed the 5th trial of Greed, Anger, Gluttony, Arrogance, Jealousy and received a trace of their divine authority
Each trial had left behind more than just experience—it had granted her a trace of their divine authority. These fragments, though subtle, had already begun to intertwine within her
Now she was on her way to complete her 6th trial.
The relationship between the Sin Goddess of Lust and God Eros had never been harmonious.
If one were to describe it, it was akin to a cat and a mouse—The authority of the Sin Goddess of Lust was not merely to control desire, but to embody it, to invoke it, to twist it into sin itself. In contrast, God Eros could only guide and manipulate lust as an external force. The difference in depth and nature created an inherent conflict between them.
Moreover, they belonged to opposing factions within the Divine Realm.
The Sin Goddess of Lust stood under the banner of the Destruction God King.
God Eros, on the other hand, was aligned with the Asura God King.
A voice echoed within Bibi Dong's mind once more, seductive yet filled with disdain.
"Finish that inheritor of that dog, Eros…"
The words carried both command and anticipation.
Bibi Dong's lips curved ever so slightly. There was no hesitation in her heart.
In fact, there was eagerness.
Five years ago, the Rakshasa Goddess had made her a promise—
