As Qian Renxue slashed down with her angelic divine sword, she nearly disrupted Tang San's divine inheritance trial. At this moment, Tang San had only completed half of the inheritance process, with only half of his body infused with the dark and evil energy, far from reaching the true god level.
Qian Renxue had already identified Tang San as the mastermind behind the current disaster facing the Spirit Empire. The three worshippers who had watched him grow up had perished, most of them through self-destruction. The war had reached an unprecedented level of devastation.
She slashed her sword once again, cutting through more than half of the supreme god-king-level dark energy. Tang San's upper body was now exposed, making him vulnerable to attacks.
Now that Qian Renxue had ascended to godhood, even though Di Tian tried his best to stop her, she stabbed forward with her sword, inflicting a massive wound on the once-invincible Di Tian. Boundless golden energy rapidly corroded his body.
Just then, a deafening dragon's roar resounded through the heavens, sending an overwhelming pressure across the battlefield. A brilliant beam of light descended from the sky, even halting Qian Renxue's attack. The roar carried unfathomable divine power.
The space above began to collapse, revealing an enormous silver dragon. It stretched for ten thousand meters, radiating multi-colored energy. Upon witnessing this silver dragon, countless humans and soul beasts instinctively bowed in reverence.
Qian Renxue shouted sternly, "Who are you, daring to obstruct my mission to exterminate this human traitor?"
The silver dragon's body shone with boundless light before it transformed into a silver-haired girl clad in silver armor. She stepped forward, facing Qian Renxue with an air of calm superiority.
"Young girl, I am the Silver Dragon King, ruler of the soul beast race. Though you have just become a god, your strength is far inferior to mine."
Qian Renxue snorted coldly. "I don't care whether you're the Silver Dragon King or some other deity. Since you dare to interfere with the Spirit Empire, today shall be your end."
The Silver Dragon King spoke indifferently, "I have no intention of starting a war with the Spirit Empire, but Tang San is someone I value. I will not let you harm him."
Qian Renxue's expression turned icy. "Tang San is nothing more than a traitorous human! I don't care how much you value him—he has slaughtered countless of my people. Today, he will pay with his life."
The Silver Dragon King shook her head. "Newly ascended Angel God, you are too naïve. Compared to me, your strength is far too lacking. If not for the restraints imposed by the Divine Realm, do you think you would even have had the chance to become a god?"
Furious, Qian Renxue disregarded the difference in power and swung her divine sword, its strike imbued with infinite angelic energy.
The Silver Dragon King sighed, her hands transforming into dragon claws. With a single motion, a colossal dragon claw projection emerged in the sky, effortlessly grasping Qian Renxue's Angelic Sacred Sword. The divine light within the sword seemed completely suppressed.
Qian Renxue had used most of her strength in that attack, yet the Silver Dragon King neutralized it with ease. It was clear that her opponent's power was beyond anything she had imagined.
But Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and charged at the Silver Dragon King, wielding her sword fiercely. The Spirit Empire was relying on her as its strongest combatant and final trump card—if she could not win, the empire would be in grave danger.
Meanwhile, under the Silver Dragon King's protection, the dark energy surrounding Tang San thickened once more. The black sphere that had been broken open was now completely enveloped in darkness again. Though Tang San's expression was filled with agony, he seemed more like a demonic god with every passing second.
Despite Qian Renxue's relentless attacks, the Silver Dragon King held the upper hand, her power clearly superior. Their battle was so intense that it shook the heavens and the earth. Even the warring factions between the Spirit Empire and the soul beast race momentarily ceased their fight to watch the divine battle unfold in the sky.
Then, a sudden surge of black energy erupted beneath Spirit City. A dazzling light illuminated the sky, and a black-armored woman slowly emerged.
Her appearance was stunning, clad in battle armor exuding endless divine power, a massive black scythe in hand.
It was Bibi Dong.
After enduring the grueling inheritance trial of the Rakshasa God, she had finally completed the final test and ascended, becoming the new Rakshasa God. The weapon in her hand was none other than the divine artifact, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
The moment Bibi Dong appeared over Spirit City, the soldiers of the Spirit Empire erupted in cheers, as though celebrating the birth of their true ruler.
Although Qian Renxue was the heir to the Angel God and the symbol of the former Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was the actual founder and first emperor of the Spirit Empire. To the people, she was the true sovereign.
As Bibi Dong surveyed the battlefield, seeing the countless fallen warriors of the Spirit Empire, a deep fury burned within her. These were her people—loyal subjects who had supported her rule. In matters of national survival, she believed she had done nothing wrong.
Her heart hardened as she gripped the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, preparing to strike down Tang San, who was still undergoing his inheritance.
But the Silver Dragon King suddenly flashed forward, intercepting her attack with her dragon-clawed hands.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance before jointly launching an all-out offensive against the Silver Dragon King.
However, the Silver Dragon King's strength exceeded all expectations. Her dragon claws controlled the fundamental elements themselves. Her left hand radiated boundless darkness that eroded even Qian Renxue's angelic power, while her right hand commanded absolute light, restraining Bibi Dong's Rakshasa divine energy.
The battle shook the heavens, but no matter how fiercely Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue fought, the Silver Dragon King remained at ease, always one step ahead. Her power was clearly above both of them.
Bibi Dong roared, "Who are you to dare oppose the Spirit Empire?!"
The Silver Dragon King smiled faintly. "I already told you—I have no intention of being your enemy. But Tang San is mine, and I will protect him."
Bibi Dong scoffed coldly. "You orchestrated the beast tide, sacrificing countless soul beasts just for Tang San! You must have some grand scheme. I will not let you succeed."
Qian Renxue, though intelligent, had to admit that Bibi Dong's strategic vision was superior. With a single glance, Bibi Dong had recognized the Silver Dragon King's hidden agenda—there was no way she would have mobilized so many soul beasts without a deeper plot.
