Chapter 8 Martial Soul Ranking, Sixteenth Place: Death Spider Emperor.
[Martial Soul Ranking, Sixteenth Place: Death Spider Emperor]
[Holder: Bibi Dong (Spirit Hall)]
[Evaluation: The Death Spider Emperor is a top-tier king among spider-type martial souls. When transformed into a human martial soul, it becomes a top-tier offensive and control-type martial soul, possessing the characteristic of devouring and growing.]
[Reward: Soul Power level increased by 1 level, all soul rings' age increased by 1000 years, Death Spider Emperor's devouring ability increased by 10%.]
After seeing the names of those on the list, the various forces on the continent had different thoughts.
Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, was only ranked fifteenth.
"Who was it that said that? You were right, kid. Be careful walking at night from now on."
"It's a pity that the Pope, revered and loved by countless soul masters, is only ranked sixteenth."
With the distribution of the rewards from the Golden Ranking, Bibi Dong's aura was released unrestrainedly throughout the Papal Palace. The soul power that had been suppressed due to the Rakshasa God Trial was now pouring out.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red spirit rings spun beneath Bibi Dong's feet, transforming her into a half-human, half-spider form.
Her spirit power level had reached a level unimaginable to everyone present:
Level 99, the Peerless Douluo realm!
The Death Spider Emperor spirit roared wildly behind her, its excited and tyrannical aura filling the entire hall. Her original spirit power configuration had changed from two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red to three purple, five black, and one red.
Her unique purple spirit power swept through the Papal Palace, suppressing every spirit master enveloped by it—whether Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, or a Title Douluo like Ling Yuan—with a spirit power far surpassing their own.
"Your subordinate…congratulations, Your Holiness the Pope!"
"Congratulations! Congratulations on my ranking being only sixteenth?"
Bibi Dong's mind was instantly affected by the Rakshasa God, becoming exceptionally ferocious and tyrannical.
Ling Yuan Douluo prostrated himself on the ground, his heart instantly filled with fear. Besides the increase in the age and level of his soul rings, this Pope's Devouring ability had also increased. Had he now offended her? Would she use him as nourishment?
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan also prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to make a sound, fearing that Bibi Dong would turn her attention to them.
For a long time... there was not a sound in the hall, only the occasional roars of the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul.
"I lost my composure, all of you, get up."
When everyone heard Bibi Dong's voice again, the hall returned to its usual brightness, as if the hellish scene had never happened.
But Bibi Dong's nails, which were already embedded in her flesh, did not lie.
"Since the Death Spider King is only ranked sixteenth, then the Soul Devouring Spider King is probably ranked fifteenth."
Bibi Dong knew her martial soul very well. The Death Spider King and the Soul Devouring Spider King were actually ranked similarly, but because her first martial soul was the Death Spider King, she had already exhausted its potential.
Her second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider King, had all its soul rings with an age of over 50,000 years, making its potential much higher than the Death Spider King.
At the same time, in Bibi Dong's mind, she had completed half of the task for the eighth trial of the Rakshasa God Trial: [Break through to level 99 within ten years, obtain all the soul bones in her body, and each soul bone must have an age of no less than 30,000 years].
She looked at the Hall of Offerings not far away, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Old bastards in the Hall of Offerings, just wait, the day I, Bibi Dong, take my revenge is not far off!"
"Qian Daoliu, aren't you most concerned about your Spirit Hall? When I become a god, the first thing I will destroy will be the Spirit Hall and you bunch of hypocritical old bastards!"
Hall of Offerings.
Many worshippers, seeing Bibi Dong listed on the celestial screen, voiced their dissatisfaction.
"Brother, I never expected Bibi Dong to be on the list. We've all seen what she's done over the years. What is she trying to do? It's obvious she wants to turn the Spirit Hall into her own personal fiefdom."
"And brother, don't you think she's a bit too terrifying?"
"If the Death Spider Queen is on the list, then the Soul Devouring Spider Queen must be on an even higher one. Who knows what her second spirit's ring configuration and potential are?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed deeply, his tone revealing his undisguised dissatisfaction with Bibi Dong, the current Pope.
Qian Daoliu remained silent, instead closing his eyes to sense everything that had just happened in the Papal Palace.
Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open, his golden pupils filled with horror.
Because Bibi Dong's fleeting aura had already reached his level.
The true Peerless Douluo realm, invincible on the continent.
"Second brother, Bibi Dong is no ordinary woman."
"I just briefly probed the aura of the Papal Palace, and she has indeed broken through to the 99th level of the Peerless Douluo realm."
Upon hearing this, several elders in the Hall of Worship couldn't sit still.
How old is Bibi Dong?
At most, she's not even forty. And before her, who was the youngest Title Douluo on the continent?
The 44-year-old Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao.
For Bibi Dong to break through to the Peerless Douluo realm at less than forty years old shows that she is not limited by her Martial Soul.
"Big brother, how is this possible? How many years has Bibi Dong cultivated!"
"To have strength comparable to big brother at less than forty years old, her talent is truly terrifying!"
"To be honest, when I was her age, I couldn't even reach the Soul Douluo realm, let alone the Peerless Douluo realm."
The elders kept sighing, both marveling at Bibi Dong's formidable strength and regretting the despicable things Qian Xunji had done back then.
"Bibi Dong's strength improvement is inseparable from the Divine Trial. She has already reached the Peerless Douluo realm, and it's estimated that she will soon reach level 100 and become a god."
Qian Daoliu paused, then uttered another piece of news that shocked all the elders even more.
"Become a god? Bibi Dong really obtained a divine inheritance?"
"It's almost certain. Apart from the Divine Trial, there's no other opportunity that could have allowed her soul power to increase so quickly."
"Moreover, the god she inherited is definitely not a benevolent one. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is resisting the divine power mixed in with her soul power."
"That feeling is just like those fallen soul masters I dealt with in my early years."
"Fallen soul masters... They've been in the Slaughter City all these years. Bibi Dong once left the Slaughter City and obtained the title of God of Slaughter. It's estimated that she obtained the divine inheritance at that time."
"I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse for the Spirit Hall."
"Second brother, Xue'er has already sent a message. Just to be on the safe side, you should go there yourself."
Qian Daoliu instructed.
Golden Crocodile Douluo is a renowned Title Douluo with a peak Soul Power of Level 98. He possesses the Super Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile King, and is one of the few Title Douluos on the continent with a 100,000-year Soul Ring.
Such strength places him among the most terrifying beings on the continent; even I, without using my true abilities, wouldn't be able to defeat him in a short time.
