The monster that uprooted mountains and felled trees was none other than the enormous Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, Bear King.
Upon receiving the demon spirit's message, Bear King charged out.
Humans actively provoking it was a very happy thing for Bear King; it had long wanted to kill.
Behind Bear King were five demon kings: the Thousand-Jin Ant King, the Titan Giant Ape, the Troll Tree King, the Patterned Leopard King, and the Azure Feather Dragon Eagle!
"Humans, you're courting death!"
Bear King roared, leaping from the ground, its dark gold paws outstretched, five long, sharp terror claws extending outwards.
The phantom of the terror claws hovered in the air, extending over a hundred meters, before Bear King's terror claws swung down from the sky.
The enormous five bear claws completely enveloped Bibi Dong and the other eleven!
Bibi Dong and the others did not panic; they were all very experienced in hunting soul beasts.
Bibi Dong's first spirit, the Death Spider Emperor spirit, covered her with a hard black carapace, its
nine spirit rings unfolding in shades of yellow, purple, black, and red.
Of the ninety-nine spirit rings present, only her red one stood out!
Seeing the massive claw descending from the sky, the eleven Title Douluos quickly shrank into formation, assuming a defensive stance.
It wasn't that they couldn't dodge, but with support Title Douluos among them, their speed wasn't enough to escape the attack zone.
The attack range of Xiong Jun's claw wasn't actually very strong, but as a nearly 500,000-year-old beast primarily focused on powerful attacks, a single strike from it possessed the attack power of a human level 96 or 97 spirit master!
Xiong Jun's true unleashed power, capable of injuring Di Tian, was equivalent to an attack power of a human level 99.
Xiong Jun was incredibly strong.
The shadow of the dark golden claw descended, seemingly about to slice Bibi Dong and the others in half.
Bibi Dong's beautiful face was filled with solemnity, and her fifth spirit ring lit up.
"Death Spider Spears!"
Eight black spider spears extended, enveloping two of Bibi Dong's Title Douluos within them.
"Black Tortoise Shell!"
A Soul Master with the Black Tortoise Martial Soul raised his shell, also covering two Title Douluos.
"Demon Bear Barrier!"
Demon Bear Douluo also protected one person.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's chrysanthemum opened its maw, enveloping him and another Title Douluo within it.
All the Title Douluos used their respective methods to defend themselves.
Eleven people linked together, surrounded by ninety-nine Soul Rings, these ninety-nine Soul Rings forming a protective energy shield.
"Bang!"
A huge terrifying claw swung down, scattering the eleven-person team!
But no one was injured.
Area-of-effect attacks are generally not very powerful.
At this moment, Xiong Jun had already led the five Beast Kings to charge over.
Xiong Jun had never been afraid of humans.
The Titan Giant Ape's hateful eyes stared at Bibi Dong, his mountain-like body pressing down on her.
He sensed a familiar aura emanating from Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's ninth spirit ring, that vibrant red one, came from Xiao Wu's mother, the 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit.
The Titan Giant Ape clenched its fist, its two massive, hammer-like fists joined together.
Titan's Fist!
It slammed down with tremendous force.
Bibi Dong flicked a spider silk from her hand, attaching it to a giant tree, then leaped up along the silk, dodging the Titan's Fist.
The six spirit beasts and eleven titled Douluo clashed in a chaotic melee, the outcome unclear.
The Bear King was the strongest, its savage claws wielding with unstoppable power and penetrating force.
The Demon Bear Douluo was the first to engage it,
his Martial Soul True Form, the Blood Demon Mad Bear.
Below its seventh spirit ring, the Demon Bear Douluo was a true Blood Demon Mad Bear.
The two bears clashed, the Blood Demon Mad Bear's body stained crimson, contrasting sharply with the Bear King's dark gold.
"Whoosh!"
With a swift movement of its claws, the Blood Demon Bear's hands were crisscrossed with clear, deep wounds.
The Demon Bear's defenses were utterly vulnerable before the Bear King.
The berserk Demon Bear Douluo was instantly sobered by the Bear King's attack. He abandoned the direct confrontation and thrust out a palm, attempting to push the Bear King away.
However, the dark golden bear fur on the Bear King's body, standing on end like steel needles, pierced directly through his palm.
The level 92 Demon Bear Douluo couldn't even scratch the Bear King.
Just as the injured Demon Bear Douluo was about to be slapped down by the Bear King's palm, a serpent spear flew over, aimed at the Bear King's eyes.
The Bear King blocked it with its palm, but even the powerful serpent spear couldn't pierce its bear hide.
Its defense was too strong!
Taking advantage of this opening, Demon Bear Douluo quickly retreated, and Serpent Spear Douluo summoned back his Martial Soul.
At this moment, Bear King had already attracted the attention of the Title Douluos.
Simultaneously, the towering Titan Giant Ape was thrown back, a beam of death light from Bibi Dong striking its chest.
Bear King also realized this woman was the strongest, and it charged directly at Bibi Dong.
The other five Beast Kings dealt with the ten elders.
100,000-year-old Soul Beasts are generally stronger than low-level human Title Douluos.
They can't defeat two Title Douluos around level 92 together, but they can easily handle one.
Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Douluo were injured and temporarily incapacitated.
The Titan Giant Ape's chest was almost pierced by Bibi Dong's death light, its combat power diminished.
Eight against four!
However, the Title Douluos' teamwork was much better; the advantage of team battle was significant, and they were more organized than Soul Beasts fighting alone.
"Killing God Domain!"
Bibi Dong unleashed her domain skill first, a skill she acquired after conquering the City of Slaughter.
The Killing God Domain was a skill bestowed by the God of Asura!
Within its range, it increases momentum and weakens the opponent's strength; the killing intent and pressure prevent the opponent from unleashing their full power. It
greatly increases the strength of herself and her teammates, allowing them to perform at 120% of their normal potential.
With the Killing God Domain activated, the Title Douluo's strength instantly increased, giving them an advantage.
Xiong Jun charged forward, preparing for melee combat.
Seeing Bibi Dong's transformed Martial Soul True Form, the Death Spider Emperor, Xiong Jun grew even angrier. The recent battle in the forest had been caused by spiders.
"You hateful spider!"
Its dark golden claws extended to a considerable length; Bibi Dong's petite body was indeed too small compared to its mountain-like bear form.
The massive bear paw pressed down, seemingly without needing the claws to cut.
"Death Spider Shadow!"
Bibi Dong transformed into a shadow, instantly unleashing the shadow of her dark golden claws, while simultaneously launching herself into the air.
Her black robes billowed in the wind, exuding a majestic and imposing aura. Her perfect features were on full display, and the queen beneath the robes began to unleash her domineering power.
"Death Spider Web!"
A ball of black light shot from her hands, unfolding into a massive black spider web in the air. Just
as Xiong Jun was about to leap, the web bound it, enveloping it.
Xiong Jun struggled fiercely, golden light radiating from its body, but the web tightened, binding its paws.
Power-attack type Soul Masters fear control-type Soul Masters, and similarly, power-attack type Soul Beasts fear them too.
Softness overcomes hardness, gentleness counters strength.
The spider silk thwarted Xiong Jun's once invincible paws.
Bibi Dong sneered, a ruthless glint in her eyes, and the Soul Rings of her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul lit up one after another.
She unleashed a Soul Skill upon Xiong Jun.
The light of death descended, striking Xiong Jun's head. However, Xiong Jun's scalp was tough; only a few tufts of fur were blown off, revealing a slight bald spot. Unlike the Titan Ape, its defenses weren't breached.
Bibi Dong continuously unleashed skills. Xiong Jun roared, its power sealed within the spiderweb, bound by its own web. It struggled relentlessly, golden light erupting from its body destroying the web.
The deathly spiderweb couldn't hold Xiong Jun.
"Spear of Death!"
Spider spears extended from Bibi Dong's back, black and sharp, like deadly hooks, gleaming with a sinister black light of death.
Eight spider spears appeared, and Bibi Dong transformed into a spider beauty.
She descended from the sky, the eight spears curving in an arc, and fell towards Xiong Jun's head.
The eight spears pierced down, embedding themselves in Xiong Jun's head, shoulders, and neck.
The spears were penetrating deeper, attempting to pierce Xiong Jun's entire skull.
Meanwhile, the black venom on the spider claws was infiltrating the Bear King's body.
A victorious expression appeared on Bibi Dong's perfect face. Although the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's strength exceeded her expectations, dealing with this clumsy giant was easier for her than dealing with strange soul beasts like the Demon Spirit.
The Bear King was furious. It had underestimated this female soul master; that annoying spider always dared not confront it directly.
It would tear this web apart, tear this spider apart!
It stopped the golden light emanating from its body, and five claws extended from its right hand again.
"Heaven-Tearing Claw!"
The Bear King finally couldn't hold back any longer; it was about to unleash its strongest skill.
This time, the bear claws easily severed the web, and with a few swings, the Bear King broke free of its restraints.
Bibi Dong was taken aback and quickly jumped away, dodging the Bear King's claws.
However, the Bear King wouldn't let her off so easily. The Heaven-Tearing Claw was a skill even Di Tian couldn't withstand; it didn't believe this human could.
It hadn't expected to need to use this ultimate move, but this soul master was proving to be incredibly difficult to deal with.
The Sky-Tearing Claw greatly enhanced Xiong Jun's attack power, penetration, and range, making it more than ten times stronger than the Terror Claw. However, it required a period of recharging after each use, so it couldn't be used continuously!
Bibi Dong panicked. The fact that it could break through her Death Spider Web meant its claw attack power was comparable to a level 99 Title Douluo.
The Star Dou Great Forest actually had such a powerful soul beast; how come she had never encountered one before?
Without giving her time to think, Xiong Jun attacked, its right claw lashing out, a claw shadow tearing through the air. Bibi Dong blocked it with her spider spear .
"Clang!"
A Death Spider Spear was severed.
Bibi Dong was shocked; her first martial soul was damaged.
She quickly dodged, continuously throwing out spider webs, creating a huge web around Xiong Jun.
However, the previously resilient spider web was now as fragile as cloth before Xiong Jun.
"Death Domain!"
Bibi Dong released her domain skill once more. With
the double domain enhancement, the Death Domain reduced the opponent's resistance by fifty percent, while simultaneously increasing her own attack power by one hundred percent.
Xiong Jun's movements slowed. Blackness spread across its entire head, the venom of the Death Spider that Bibi Dong had just pierced.
Both the Killing God Domain and the Death Domain weakened the opponent's strength. Although Xiong Jun's dark gold soul power invigorated it, a sense of weakness still emanated from its body and spirit.
Xiong Jun, nearly 500,000 years old, was not much weaker than Bibi Dong, who was at level 98. However, Bibi Dong possessed twin martial souls, both of which were Spider Emperors, making her soul power stronger.
Furthermore, her powerful abilities in attack, control, and poison were very effective against Xiong Jun.
If it weren't for the powerful skill, the Sky-Tearing Claw, Xiong Jun would have been completely worn down by Bibi Dong! The
Sky-Tearing Claw couldn't last long. Xiong Jun endured the corrosive effects of the spider venom, its strong will resisting the weakness, and charged towards Bibi Dong.
Having experienced the power of the Sky-Tearing Claw, Bibi Dong didn't dare touch the dark gold giant claw, relying on her agile body to dodge.
However, Xiong Jun's Sky-Tearing Claw had a long attack range and possessed the ability to tear apart the heavens, so it could certainly hit Bibi Dong.
Claw shadows flew past, forcing Bibi Dong to use the Death Spider King's spears to protect herself and bear the brunt of the Sky-Tearing Claws.
While a damaged spirit could slowly recover, being struck by the Sky-Tearing Claw would result in immediate dismemberment.
After Bibi Dong used five spears, Xiong Jun's Sky-Tearing Claw finally subsided.
The Death Spider Poison had already spread throughout its body, causing Xiong Jun's massive form to sway.
Bibi Dong was also in extremely poor condition, her face pale, yet she remained composed, maintaining a high level of combat tension.
The Death Domain had dissipated due to the damage to the Death Spider King's spirit, and the spirit itself had been absorbed into her body.
However, Bibi Dong's aura showed no signs of weakening.
Her second spirit, the Soul-Devouring Pearl Emperor, had taken hold!
Black, black, black!
This time, however
, there were only three spirit rings! But the three spirit rings did not affect her aura at all.
With two martial souls acting on the same body, the soul power remains unchanged.
Although there are only three soul rings, the effect is not weaker than that of a Soul Master.
Moreover, all three soul rings are around 90,000 years old and contain a trace of red.
The Soul-Devouring Spider King is a spider king capable of devouring souls.
This is even more terrifying for Xiong Jun, whose physical defense is almost invincible but whose spiritual power is relatively weak.
The Killing Domain is still in use. This is a domain bestowed by the Asura God and is not related to the martial soul.
Killing Assault
is another way of releasing the Killing Domain.
After locking onto a target in a straight line, the Killing God Domain increases speed by 100% and attack power by 30%. This enhancement is effective for any attack, including soul skills.
Bibi Dong wants to use the Killing Domain to amplify the Soul-Devouring Spider King's soul skills, to enhance soul-type soul skills.
"Soul-Devouring Light!"
This time it was not a black ball of light, but a crimson light.
The Soul-Devouring Light was launched, shooting towards Xiong Jun's head.
Xiong Jun roared, his eyes bursting with golden light.
"Roar~"
It let out a miserable howl, clutching its bear head with both paws.
However, it quickly calmed down.
It had developed some resistance and experience with this kind of soul attack.
The soul impact Ma Hongjun had given it before was no weaker than this Soul-Devouring Light.
The Bear King could now withstand this pain; its eyes were bloodshot, and it was almost insane.
Meanwhile, the four Beast Kings and eight elders in the melee had expanded the battlefield.
The four Beast Kings were separated, each facing two Title Douluos. Some
Beast Kings were already injured and struggling to hold on. Facing two Title Douluos was far too difficult for these Beast Kings who had just broken through to the 100,000-year mark!
If it weren't for their powerful beastly bodies, they would
n't have been able to withstand the drain. On the other side, the injured Titan Giant Ape and the injured Ghost Douluo, along with the Demon Bear Douluo, faced off, neither making a move.
Overall, the soul beasts were gradually losing ground.
Bibi Dong glanced at the battle and her worries subsided.
It seemed that only the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was somewhat powerful; the other soul beasts were all normal 100,000-year soul beasts.
Six 100,000-year soul rings!
Bibi Dong already had the idea of victory in her mind. This operation in the Star Dou Great Forest had really been a huge success.
She was exactly six soul rings short.
As long as she absorbed these five 100,000-year soul rings, who in the Douluo Continent would dare to oppose her?
She wouldn't even put Qian Daoliu in her eyes.
With absolute strength, unifying the continent would be a piece of cake.
However, while Bibi Dong was calculating how to absorb the soul rings ,
commotion came from the depths of the forest again .
A black demonic dragon flew out from within, like a dark cloud drifting over. Its powerful aura, capable of blotting out the sky, was awe-inspiring.
It was none other than Di Tian.
To his left was the swan, Bi Ji, radiating a vibrant, emerald light;
to his right was the previously escaped demon spirit, still a ball of light, though its radiance had dimmed considerably.
"Retreat!"
Bibi Dong shouted, no longer caring about attacking Xiong Jun.
She rushed forward, grabbing the Ghost Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo from the ground and retreating.
The eight elders, including Chrysanthemum Douluo, had also noticed Di Tian flying in from the horizon.
They covered each other's retreat, avoiding fighting the already disadvantaged soul beasts.
A decisive retreat was the right decision.
However, Di Tian's attacks were clearly not so easy to dodge.
One Title Douluo, fighting the Azure Feather Dragon Eagle in the air, was bitten by Di Tian and instantly turned into mincemeat.
Another had already run far away, but the demon spirit transformed into a ball of light, shooting out like a cannonball and piercing his body.
Instantly, two Title Douluos perished.
Bi Ji folded her swan wings and landed ahead of time, first spitting out a ball of green light, which entered Xiong Jun's body.
Xiong Jun's condition improved instantly; his wounds healed rapidly under the emerald green light, though his eyes remained bloodshot and his soul was still in agony.
Di Tian and Yao Ling landed before the five wounded Beast Kings.
After healing Xiong Jun, Bi Ji's emerald light remained bright. She approached the Titan Ape, a swan feather falling to cover its hollow chest.
The feather transformed into drops of emerald liquid, nourishing the massive wound, and the black death spider venom was being expelled from the Titan Ape's body.
Bi Ji continuously cast spells to heal the other four Beast Kings.
Bibi Dong, with her eight companions, stood ready, nervously watching Di Tian.
This black dragon that had just arrived was even more powerful than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Bibi Dong was already considering how to retreat.
