"Du! Gu! Bo!"

Yue Guan looked at Dugu Bo, who had come out to cause trouble, and his face turned ugly.

Above the black mud that submerged the earth, Chen Xin fought against three other titled Douluo, their battle becoming mere afterimages.

The ancient banyan tree doesn't have that much offensive power; it only has the tactic of "delaying" to distract people.

As for Bibi Dong, she did not join the melee. Instead, she concentrated her soul power and used all her strength to strike the area where the black mud was about to spread, as if she wanted to split the earth in two and create a new abyss.

The viscous black mud flowed back into the fissures in the earth, which Bibi Dong had split open. Qian Yuelong controlled the roots of the golden lotus to grow longer and throw the imperial knights, who were isolated on the other side of the fissure, to the other side.

We'll try to save as many as we can.

She pursed her lips and searched for her companions.

However, before everyone could catch their breath, Bibi Dong and the others suddenly froze.

The black mud, which should have surged into the crevice but was temporarily blocked, was like a dormant volcano awakened. The earth trembled, and the black mud rolled and roared like giant waves on the sea, one wave after another. In just a few breaths, it rose to a height of twenty or thirty meters and continued to cover the ground, increasing its height without stopping, directly crossing the chasm drawn by Bibi Dong!

"Retreat the entire army—!!!"

The commanders of the various legions of the Martial Soul Empire roared at the top of their lungs.

However, the suddenly rising mud waves covered a greater distance, instantly engulfing many Holy Soul Knights whose escape speed was hampered by injuries.

The people of the Star Luo Empire witnessed this terrifying scene and felt a faint sense of relief.

Because the giant waves stirred up by the churning black mud were heading only towards Jialing Pass.

It's as if someone is controlling this black mud!

Sensing the strange changes in the black mud, the group thought of Tang San, whose whereabouts were unknown, and felt a chill in their hearts.

We must find Tang San and kill him!

This reflects the ambition of unifying the high-combat-power forces of the Spirit Empire.

If the waves of black mud don't decrease in height by the time they reach Jialing Pass, and instead continue to rise, the entire Jialing Pass will be doomed!

"Mother, have you found Tang San?!"

A hint of anxiety appeared in Qian Yuelong's eyes.

Desperate to find Tang San, Bibi Dong didn't even notice Qian Yuelong's title. Suppressing her irritability and killing intent, she continued to unfold the real world, increasing the density of her mental light projection. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as she relentlessly searched for Tang San in the thick sea of ​​black mud.

"No! Tang San must have been hit by my spiritual light earlier. But strangely, when I used my spiritual soul skill to lock onto Tang San, he simply disappeared into the distance, as if he had merged into the black mud and vanished without a trace!"

Bibi Dong's gloomy mood was merely a facade.

Ascending to a higher altitude, Qian Yuelong avoided the turbulent new waves and gazed intently at the viscous mud sea.

'886, can S-class suit parts be remade after they're damaged?'

Having not been called by its full number for a long time, 886 let out an "Ah," and replied seriously: [Damaged S-rank set parts cannot be remade. However, the standards for damage to S-rank sets differ from those for other ranks.]

[Classes A, B, and C all have damage standards, but the damage standard for Class S suits is not based on a degree of damage, but on the host itself.]

[Once an S-rank set is created, it is absolutely bound to the soul of its creator and will remain there until the creator's death.]

"Really? That's good."

Qian Yuelong murmured softly, then changed direction, as if falling straight to the earth from the sky, colliding with a meteorite that sparked Mars.

Sensing the abnormal energy fluctuations, Bibi Dong looked up in astonishment, instantly seeing through Qian Yuelong's target location, her expression filled with horror.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

Even she dared not easily touch this black mud, let alone Qian Yuelong, whose soul power cultivation had not yet reached the demigod realm!

The raging air currents were incredibly hot. Qian Yuelong glanced at Bibi Dong, who was rushing towards her, her lips slightly parted, and her voice pierced through the distance, echoing in Bibi Dong's ears—

"I'll leave the outside to you for now. I'll be right back, Mother."

Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat.

In the instant her mind went blank, Qian Yuelong activated [Traces of Light].

The golden wing pattern between his brows shimmered with dazzling golden light.

Qian Yuelong's frost-colored pupils reflected the churning black tide. A light golden halo shimmered around her, as she, like a falling star, plunged headlong into the viscous quagmire.

Those who were staring directly at this scene had their pupils shrink in unison.

"Moon Dragon—!"

"Girl—!"

"Holy Maiden—!"

Several panicked shouts pulled Bibi Dong back to her senses.

She bit her tongue, the pain a reminder to herself, and said in a low, cold voice:

"Do not pursue! All elders and bishops, immediately assist the army in retreating back to Jialing Pass!"

"Soul power, soul skills, and crowd formations are all welcome! Build a defensive barrier for me! Hold them off even if it means death, until the Holy Maiden returns!"

"Whoever deserts first will be killed by me!"

Bibi Dong issued a stern warning.

On the other side, Qian Yuelong, whose body was covered with a light golden halo, opened her eyes in the sea of ​​mud.

The world outside the black mud and the world inside the black mud are like yin and yang, clearly divided into black and white.

Skeletons, stripped of flesh and blood and their souls erased, floated and sank in a clear, black sea of ​​light.

It felt as if she were in the deep, dark ocean, but under her spiritual vision, the impenetrable darkness was no obstacle to Qian Yuelong.

She stared at Tang San, who looked like a demon who had just crawled out of hell, his body engulfed in black and red flames, his human form twisted and mutated, like a fallen god or demon, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

This is the chosen one of destiny, the chosen one of Heaven's will, selected by this world.

Does someone who recklessly sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people deserve to be called a "savior" and elevated to the status of a god?

Perhaps Tang San was qualified in the past, but after being tainted by power and strength, he is no longer the same person with a sincere heart.

【Host! 】

886 called out urgently.

'I know. '

Qian Yuelong looked at the black and red armor that was about to be completed on Tang San's body, which was barely maintaining his human form, and the chaotic malice that seemed to be able to materialize. Her frost-colored pupils also reflected the gray and white parts of the clothing catalog that had not yet been unlocked.

'886, unlocked the [Divine Realm] set, all remaining pieces.'
