But Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong quickly realized that there were surprisingly few people kneeling before her.
Why aren't they shouting, "Long live His Majesty, long live, long long live!"?
This instantly made Bibi Dong's expression turn somewhat ugly. She demanded, "Why are you not kneeling yet?!"
"What is the meaning of this?!"
Just then, Lin Yu's majestic and awe-inspiring voice resounded.
"Because they do not acknowledge you as the Emperor of the Spirit Empire, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, who allowed you to proclaim yourself Empress here?!"
The next second, Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and the Seven Great Enshrinements appeared on the scene.
At this moment, almost everyone present collectively knelt on one knee and said in unison, "Greetings to the Seven Great Enshrinements! Hall Master Lin Yu! Young Master Qian Renxue!"
"You! You!!!"
"And you! Yue Guan! Gui Mei! Even you!!!" Bibi Dong's face instantly became extremely ugly.
She gazed in disbelief at the high-ranking officials who had once stood on her side, now kneeling before Lin Yu and the others. Wasn't this undoubtedly telling her that these people had all surrendered and defected to the Hall of Offerings?
But what she found most unimaginable was that even Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were by her side, had betrayed her!
"When?! When did all these people surrender to the Hall of Offerings?!"
Bibi Dong's heart was filled with surging killing intent, and an uncontrollable aura of malice emanated from her. Her heart was already exploding with rage; she wished she could kill those traitors on the spot.
And seeing this scene, Bibi Dong already understood that her influence in Spirit Hall was likely over today.
"Lin Yu! Qian Renxue! Hall of Offerings!!!"
Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Lin Yu and the others walking from afar, her eyes filled with fury. She angrily said, "Lin Yu! Qian Renxue! Esteemed Enshrinement Elders, what is the meaning of this?!"
"What meaning? Bibi Dong, can you still not see it?"
"No one submits to you, so how are you worthy of the position of Supreme Pontiff?!"
"Bibi Dong, it's time for you to step down from the position of Supreme Pontiff and get some good rest!" Lin Yu's voice resounded again.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong completely erupted in rage. She could no longer tolerate Lin Yu: "Lin Yu! Even if I am to abdicate, it is not for a junior like you to say here! What right do you have to make me step down from the position of Supreme Pontiff?!"
"What are you?! You are merely a Hall Master of the Hall of Judgment, a position on the same level as an Elder, yet you repeatedly dare to defy your superiors in front of me!"
"I have diligently worked for Spirit Hall for decades; even if I have no achievements, I have toiled hard. Who else but me is qualified to hold the position of Emperor of this Spirit Empire?!"
"Even if the Hall of Offerings has the right to dismiss the Supreme Pontiff, I will not accept it!!!"
"Bibi Dong, you know full well that Lin Yu is a successor of a god. As long as he grows and breaks through to godhood in the future, he can help our Spirit Hall sweep across the continent."
"Yet you have repeatedly sent people to assassinate Lin Yu, having committed a grave mistake!"
"Now that the tide has turned against you, and you are a ruler unrecognized by anyone, what right do you still have to hold the position of Emperor?!"
"Considering your many years of service in charge of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, the Hall of Offerings will not hold your assassination attempts on Lin Yu against you! But you no longer need to sit in the position of Supreme Pontiff!"
"In the name of Spirit Hall's High Priest, I announce today the dismissal of Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong from her position, and that Spirit Hall's Young Master Qian Renxue shall assume the next Supreme Pontiff!"
"And also serve as the Empress of the Spirit Empire!!"
"The former Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong is demoted to a Spirit HallElder. Bibi Dong, you may come down and stand." Qian Daoliu's voice echoed in Bibi Dong's ears for a long time.
At this moment, the entire venue also erupted in collective shouts.
"Empress! Qian Renxue!"
"Empress! Qian Renxue!"
"Empress! Qian Renxue!"
...
"Go, Xue'er, go stand in the position that rightfully belongs to you." Lin Yu gazed gently at Qian Renxue beside him.
Qian Renxue slowly extended her jade hand and invited, "Lin Yu, let's go together."
"Good!"
Lin Yu nodded, took Qian Renxue's small hand, and intended to ascend to that supreme position with her.
"I refuse! I refuse!! Qian Daoliu! You cannot do this to me!!!" Bibi Dong roared loudly.
She could not accept that at the very moment she was about to ascend to the position of Empress, she suddenly discovered that all those who supported her had betrayed her.
Now she was to be demoted to an Elder?
She was so accustomed to sitting high above in the position of Supreme Pontiff; how could she accept suddenly becoming an Elder?
"Qian Renxue, what right do you have to replace me?!" Bibi Dong seemed to roar like a madwoman, with no intention of coming down, still standing at that highest point.
"You will obey whether you like it or not!! Get down here! ElderBibi Dong, that position is no longer where you should stand!"
Lin Yu's aura exploded, and he moved a step ahead of Qian Renxue, striking towards Bibi Dong.
"Lin Yu, how dare you attack me on your own?! You are courting death!!"
Bibi Dong also directly released her Spirit, looking at Lin Yu with disdain, her eyes already harboring killing intent.
"Heh, really?"
Lin Yu's Spirit Bone armor was unleashed, and a terrifying aura and power filled the entire venue at this moment. He savagely kicked towards Bibi Dong.
"This brat!" Bibi Dong was greatly alarmed and quickly mobilized all her strength, meeting Lin Yu's kick head-on with her staff.
Bang! Boom boom boom!
"What!!!"
"This is impossible!!"
But in an instant, Bibi Dong's power was instantly shattered, and Lin Yu's foot ruthlessly slammed into Bibi Dong's face.
Splat ~
"Ah ah ah!" Bibi Dong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and with a loud scream, she was instantly kicked down from the supreme height by Lin Yu on the spot.
Whoosh! Bang!
Bibi Dong's body was thus fiercely kicked to the ground under the watchful eyes of all the high-ranking officials present.
This kick seemed to symbolize her being completely kicked out of the divine hall, kicked down from the supreme position.
"How is this possible! Has his power already surpassed mine? How could this be, he's clearly only an eight-ring Spirit Douluo!"
This scene also shocked everyone present.
Lin Tian, Dugu Bo, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Lion, Dugu Bo, Snake Lance, Porcupinefish, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and all the Titled Elders, as well as all the high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall, were all stunned.
"Holy cow!!!!"
"Hall Master Lin Yu actually kicked Bibi Dong flying! Isn't Bibi Dong a level 99 powerhouse?!"
"When did Hall Master Lin Yu become so strong?!"
"Hall Master Lin Yu is only an eight-ring Spirit Douluo! He actually kicked a Limit Douluo flying!"
"So fierce!!!!"
"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!!!!"
Everyone present went wild. This scene was too shocking, like a miracle that made people feel incredibly crazy and unimaginable.
But this scene truly happened right before their eyes.
Even Bibi Dong herself was dumbfounded.
Although she could only exert 98th-level strength now due to the Rakshasa Nine Trials, this was still 98th-level strength!
