Chapter 490: Three Limit Douluo Against One Deity
The Heaven Dou Empire had received news of the Star Luo Empire's disaster, and the Spirit Empire naturally learned of it as well.
However, by the time the Spirit Empire received the report, there was barely any time left to respond.
Just as Bibi Dong and the others assembled near the coast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King burst directly from the ocean.
He repeated the same tactic he had used against the Star Luo Empire, manipulating the seawater in preparation to drown the seven armies gathered along the coast.
Having already learned what had happened to the Star Luo Empire, Bibi Dong naturally could not allow him to succeed.
The six purple wings of light on her back spread wide. She transformed into a streak of purple light and charged toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who stood motionless high in the sky.
The Rakshasa Demonic Scythe in her hands, covered in countless swirling demonic patterns, slashed directly at him.
Faced with the sudden attack, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King quickly raised the trident in his hands horizontally, blocking the descending Rakshasa Demonic Scythe.
The moment his attention shifted, the seawater under his control immediately stalled.
The monstrous waves collapsed before they could fully rise, falling back into the ocean.
"Oh? A God Inheritor?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King paid no attention to the dissipating waves. Instead, he looked at Bibi Dong with great interest.
During their brief clash, he had clearly sensed the power of a Deity within her body and immediately recognized her identity as a God Inheritor.
Compared to using a tsunami to wipe out countless ants, a God Inheritor was naturally far more interesting to him.
"Unfortunately, you are still far too weak."
Feeling the power transmitted through the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King shook his head.
"You are merely the inheritor of a Deity, while I am a true Deity!"
As his voice fell, dazzling purple light erupted from the trident.
The blade of light surrounding the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe shattered instantly.
Bibi Dong felt an irresistible, overwhelming force surge through the scythe in her hands. In the next moment, she was sent flying backward, blood spraying from her mouth.
"Your Holiness!"
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing the Spirit Empire's strongest combatant defeated in a single exchange, the expressions of everyone below changed drastically.
Was the difference between them truly that great?
As Bibi Dong continued flying backward, unable to stop herself, a beam of sacred golden light suddenly flashed across the sky.
A figure with three pairs of holy wings quickly appeared behind her and caught her.
"Are... are you all right?"
The newcomer was Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong glanced at her but did not answer.
After wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she stared unwillingly at the distant Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"So this is the power of a Deity? He is actually this strong."
Bibi Dong had originally believed that her cultivation was already extremely close to the Divine Rank.
With the assistance of the Divine Artifact, the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, even if she could not defeat the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, she had expected to at least contend with him.
Reality proved her completely wrong.
At that moment, Qian Daoliu also flew to the sides of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
He stared fixedly at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with an extremely grave expression. Every part of his body was tense, clearly nervous to the extreme.
As a servant of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu understood the might of a true Deity better than most.
That was precisely why he felt so much pressure now.
"Another God Inheritor, and also... a Deity's servant."
Compared to Qian Daoliu's nervousness, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared completely relaxed.
He merely found the situation interesting.
Encountering one God Inheritor was already unusual, yet two had now appeared before him.
"No matter who you are, all of you will die."
Although Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had not yet become Deities, they possessed the potential to achieve Divinity.
Once they succeeded, they would become serious threats to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Therefore, it was best to eliminate them in advance and remove all future trouble.
The instant he finished speaking, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King disappeared without any visible movement.
He reappeared directly in front of the three and swept the trident in his hands toward them, releasing a fan-shaped arc of purple light.
Golden flames immediately erupted from the bodies of Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu.
The flames condensed into two golden longswords, which slashed toward the trident from the left and right.
However, their attacks accomplished almost nothing.
When the two sacred swords of golden flame collided with the trident, the purple light surrounding the weapon merely fluctuated slightly.
The two golden longswords were instantly annihilated.
The attacks from Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu failed to slow the trident in the slightest.
In the end, Bibi Dong was forced to intervene despite her injuries, using the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe to barely block the strike.
Even so, the tremendous force contained within the trident sent all three of them flying backward.
"Damn it. If only I still had the Angelic Sacred Sword..."
After being swept away by the trident, resentment surfaced in Qian Renxue's eyes.
Strangely, although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had placed her in such a desperate position, she did not particularly hate him.
Instead, the person she despised most was Yu Tianlin.
Had Yu Tianlin not taken the Divine Artifact, the Angelic Sacred Sword, how could she have fallen into such a sorry state?
Although Qian Renxue was furious, this was not the time to complain.
After quickly stabilizing herself, she heard Bibi Dong shout, "We attack together!"
Then Bibi Dong looked toward the forces below.
"All Spirit Empire forces, fight while retreating!"
After the previous two exchanges, Bibi Dong had already understood the situation.
Even if she, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu joined forces, they were no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Their only option was to delay him for as long as possible and buy time for the army below to retreat.
Once the command was issued, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu charged toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King again.
While the fierce confrontation unfolded in the sky, the battle below finally erupted.
The Spirit Empire had previously cleared out a large number of the Sea Spirit Beasts gathered along the coast. Because of this, the enemy force attacking now was not overwhelmingly large, and the Spirit Empire's armies were able to hold their ground.
Under Bibi Dong's orders, the Spirit Master legions and Temple Knights supported one another as they fought and gradually withdrew inland.
As long as no unexpected situation occurred, the Spirit Empire would certainly suffer casualties, but its losses would not be too severe.
The only possible accident was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
If Bibi Dong and the other two failed to restrain him and gave him an opportunity to attack the army below, the Spirit Empire's forces would undoubtedly suffer devastating losses.
Could Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu truly hold back the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
The answer was yes.
Although it was extremely difficult, they could barely accomplish it.
Among the original Three Great Limit Douluo, Bo Saixi was known as the strongest in the ocean, Tang Chen as the strongest on land, and Qian Daoliu as the strongest in the sky.
The reason was that the higher Qian Daoliu rose into the sky and the closer he came to the sun, the more power he could borrow from it.
Now, Qian Daoliu was not alone.
Qian Renxue possessed the same type of power.
The sacred swords of golden flame they had previously used contained only their own strength.
Now, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue resolutely began drawing power from the sun, causing their strength to rise significantly.
Together with Bibi Dong, who wielded the Divine Artifact Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, the three of them formed a powerful combined force.
None of them could confront the Deep Sea Demon Whale King alone.
However, by working together and avoiding direct clashes whenever possible, they were barely able to hold him back.
