Chapter 415 Bibi Dong Admits Defeat

Fireworks let out a low, suppressed laugh, and her shoulders twitched slightly.

"Hehe~ This is really... so wonderful, it's more interesting than any drama."

Vita gracefully covered her red lips with the back of her hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and responded softly:

"Yes... the threads of fate are so intertwined, the waves of emotion are so turbulent, my dear sister, don't you think that's where the ultimate 'pleasure' lies?"

Bibi Dong's heavy breathing gradually subsided, and the mouthful of blood she spat out seemed to have taken away some of the last bit of unrealistic madness and obsession in her heart.

She raised her hand and fiercely wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, which was stained with divine blood, leaving a glaring purplish-red mark.

She raised her head, her cold purple eyes refocusing on Qian Renxue's face, her voice as if tempered with ice:
"Good... very good, Qian Renxue, this is the path you chose... I hope you won't regret it."

Qian Renxue met her gaze without flinching. Her golden eyes held an unprecedented clarity and determination as she responded resolutely:

"I will never regret my own choice, whether the road ahead leads to heaven or abyss."

"Humph."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and struggled to stand up straight, but she staggered due to her severe injuries. However, she still maintained the pride that belonged to the Rakshasa God.

"You have won this battle, and this land is yours. But listen carefully—I will never submit to you, never."

This was her last line of defense and her last shred of dignity.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingming's smile grew even more composed and gentle. He didn't loosen his grip on Qian Renxue's waist, and his tone was as friendly as if they were discussing everyday matters.
"I think Your Holiness has misunderstood."

He paused deliberately, then naturally switched to the more intimate form of address.

"You are Xue'er's mother, and naturally my future mother-in-law. How could we, as juniors, possibly force you to submit?"

His words were soft, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"As long as you do no more 'foolish things' that harm the empire or Xue'er, you will still be the highly respected Supreme Emperor of the Martial Soul Empire, one of the supreme deities on this continent, enjoying endless honor and freedom. We can turn the page on everything from the past."

As Qian Renxue leaned against Lu Jingming's chest, listening to him address Bibi Dong as "mother-in-law" so naturally, and feeling the future vision he envisioned for himself and the empire in his words, the last trace of unease in her heart quietly dissipated.

She didn't refute him verbally; instead, she leaned against him more comfortably, showing her support through her actions.

She knew that simple alliances were fragile and that only through closer ties—marriage, family, shared interests and future—could the two sides be truly bound together, giving her a real sense of security and stability.

For the sake of the Angel Family's legacy, for the long-term stability of the Spirit Empire, and for her own heart that had wandered in loneliness for too long, even though her feelings for him were not yet deep, she resolutely chose the safest path.

Hearing Lu Jingming's seemingly respectful but actually well-informed words, Bibi Dong felt another dull pain in her chest, but she forcibly suppressed it.

She stared intently at Lu Jingming, then at the resolute Qian Renxue. Finally, as if all her strength had been drained away, or as if she had completely realized that the situation was hopeless, she closed her eyes in despair. After a moment, she slowly opened them again. The madness and sharpness in her eyes had faded, leaving only a deep weariness and indifference, tinged with humiliation yet something she had no choice but to accept.

“…Okay.” She uttered a single word, her voice hoarse.

“I’m willing to accept defeat. I lost because I was inferior in both strength and strategy. Since I’ve lost, I’ll leave it to you to do with me.”

She deliberately emphasized the word "disposal," with a hint of self-deprecation.

"But don't expect me to obey you, and don't expect me to bless you."

She ultimately chose to back down gracefully.

Death? She wasn't afraid; she even felt it was a relief.

But if she dies, Qian Renxue will lose a potential ally, and Hu Liena will also lose her backer.

If she were alive, even if she only held the empty title of "Emperor Emeritus," she could at least retain some influence by virtue of her identity as the Rakshasa God and her relationship with her mother, and could still watch over and protect them from the shadows.

Now that Qian Renxue is determined to marry this man, at least they have become "one of us" in a certain sense, and her biggest worry seems to be temporarily out of the question.

Although this "letting go" made her feel incredibly stifled and humiliated.

After the battle, Bibi Dong accepted her defeat, and the Spirit Empire fell completely into Qian Renxue's hands. With this matter settled, Lu Jingming left with Gu Yuena and the others. With Qian Renxue in charge, the Spirit Empire should be able to unify the Douluo Continent soon.

The mountain range where the Killing City is located.

This mountain range, steeped in blood and curses, has today welcomed an unprecedented visitor and an even more terrifying surge of energy.

Hathaway and Krydera appeared before the dark red, solitary peak.

Hathaway is dressed in the azure armor of the sea god, holding a golden trident. Vast ocean power flows around her, and her deep blue eyes are like the deepest ocean, with towering waves hidden beneath the calm surface.

Kerudela stood quietly to one side, the eerie blue flames on her imperial crown burning silently. Her insightful eyes swept over this ominous place, as if trying to analyze something.

Their arrival instantly startled the statue-like figure atop the solitary peak.

The corrupted Kevin slowly raised his head, his empty blue eyes devoid of any emotion, only a pure, chilling killing intent.

The Asura Demon Sword in his hand seemed to sense the provocation. Its dark red blade emitted a deep hum, and a viscous, blood-red killing intent spread out as if it were a tangible substance, causing the temperature of this world to plummet, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Without a word, the battle was already decided the moment the ultimate power of the ocean collided with the pure killing domain.

"Om-!"

Hazel took the initiative, pointing the Trident of the Sea God forward, and the azure Sea God Domain instantly expanded.

The once dry and desolate Killing City Mountains seemed to be instantly pulled into the deep sea. An invisible pressure and a vast amount of water elements filled every inch of space, trying to wash away and purify the nauseating blood and killing atmosphere.

However, the corrupted Kevin simply raised the Asura Demon Sword in his hand.

A thin, blood-red sword light, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect, reappeared.

Just like when he forced Xuanzi to retreat and instantly killed a Super Douluo, the world lost its color, leaving only the trajectory of death.

But this time, it met its match.

"Poseidon, shockwave."

With a clear shout, Heather's golden trident stirred the endless water element within her domain, and a ring-shaped shockwave, condensed to its extreme and displaying a deep blue color, erupted from the tip of the trident.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the space rippled violently like water, colliding fiercely with the blood-red sword light.

"boom--!!!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only intense friction and annihilation at the level of laws.

The crimson and deep blue light intertwined and devoured each other wildly before finally dissipating. The dissipated energy directly flattened and vaporized the upper parts of several surrounding mountain peaks.

Having failed in his first attack, the corrupted Kevin moved. He took a step forward, freezing the space beneath his feet, and his figure appeared as if by teleportation in front of Heather. The Asura Demon Sword, accompanied by a soul-ripping shriek, thrust straight at her.

Simple and direct, yet it contains ultimate power and speed, as well as the erosion of the life force by Asura divine power.

Hazel moved with the grace and agility of a fish swimming in water, retreating gracefully and nimbly. At the same time, her golden trident drew a perfect arc, and the blade emitted the phantom image of a vast expanse of waves—a thousand years of emptiness.

The surging power of the ocean rushed towards the demonic sword like a tsunami.

"clang--!"

The divine halberd and the demonic sword clashed for the first time.

The golden divine light and the blood-red killing intent collided, erupting into a piercing metallic clang.

The terrifying impact caused Heather to slide back several steps, but her expression remained unchanged. The light of the Sea God's Armor shone, quickly dissolving the murderous sword energy that had invaded her body.

Kevin paused slightly before raising his sword again.

Just then, Krydella, who had been observing the situation quietly, made her move.

Instead of attacking directly, she raised her hand, and the eerie blue flames of "law" flickered at her fingertips.

"By law, it is forbidden!"

An invisible force of law, like a chain, instantly wrapped around the corrupted Kevin.

It wasn't about restricting his movements, but rather temporarily stripping him of some of the resonance with the "rules of killing" in his surroundings.

It was like modifying the game's basic code, causing Kevin's body, born for killing, to experience a moment of "discomfort" and "lag".

For top-tier experts, this momentary opening is enough.

Heather seized this fleeting opportunity.

"Poseidon, twilight!"

She raised the trident of Neptune high above her head, causing the sky and the sea to resonate.

It was not the ocean of this world, but rather the illusory image of the endless sea belonging to the sea god, which she could communicate with through her divine position.

The sky suddenly darkened, as if dusk had arrived early. A colossal, dark blue pillar of light, formed from the purest ocean divine power, fell from the heavens like divine punishment, its target the corrupted Kevin, whose movements had been delayed by a fraction of a second.

This strike embodies the boundless power of the ocean and the end of twilight.

A faint ripple seemed to flicker in the empty eyes of the corrupted Kevin.

He felt the threat of this attack.

Faced with this inescapable divine punishment, he took action.

It was neither a dodge nor a block.

An extreme chill, far colder and more deathly than the power of the Rakshasa God, seemingly capable of freezing time and space and ending civilization, suddenly erupted from his body.

“Crack!”

Centered on him, the earth beneath his feet, the surrounding space, and even the tip of the Twilight pillar descending from the sky were instantly stained with an eerie icy blue, and then—completely frozen.

It is not an ordinary freeze, but an absolute zero zone where even energy, light, and rules are frozen together.

This is Kevin's ice and snow power, which is formed by fusing the power of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast "Parvati".

The enormous Poseidon's Twilight pillar seemed to transform into a towering, ice-blue crystal pillar, suspended in mid-air.

However, the power of the sea god is ultimately vast and boundless.

Only the front end was frozen; the immense ocean power continued to relentlessly assault the frozen barrier, producing a teeth-grinding cracking sound. The ice crystals constantly shattered and instantly reformed, resulting in a terrifying stalemate.

Krystal frowned slightly; the other party was more troublesome than expected.

She once again invoked the power of the law, attempting to analyze and weaken that extremely cold law.

Hazel's eyes narrowed as she sensed the terrifying essence within the power of ice and snow, an essence that did not belong to this world.

She held nothing back, unleashing the power of the sea god to its fullest extent. The light on the golden trident grew ever brighter, directly confronting the chilling aura that froze everything.

Slaughter, ocean, ice and snow, and law—four distinct yet equally powerful forces of law collide, intertwine, and annihilate each other in this cursed land.

The sky was sometimes ablaze with crimson light, sometimes a clear, deep blue, and sometimes frozen solid for miles around.

The earth is cracking, freezing, and being washed by the illusory image of the sea.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

Both sides were searching for each other's weaknesses, preparing for the next decisive blow.

For the first time, the blackened Kevin's empty eyes truly "gaze" at the two god-level opponents before him, and the blood-red light on the Asura Demon Sword grew even more intense and dripping.

The sky above the Killing City mountains was brutally torn apart by three distinct beams of light.

Surrounded by the vast power of the sea god, her azure radiance resembled the deepest ocean. With each swing of her golden trident, she drew upon the illusory image of countless waves, carrying unparalleled weight and purifying power as it hurtled towards that cold figure.

Her fighting stance was as elegant as a dance, yet it contained the fury of the sea.

Krydela, on the other hand, is like a calm chess player, standing on the edge of the battle.

The pale blue flames on her crown burned silently, representing the power of "law".

Instead of launching a direct attack, she continuously unleashed various law commands—"Law Imprisonment" attempted to bind her opponent's movements, "Law Weakening" reduced the strength of his defense, and "Law Correction" even occasionally deflected Kevin's deadly slashes.

Her presence made Kevin feel as if he were trapped in an invisible web of laws, and every time he exerted his strength, he felt extremely constrained.

Their opponent, the corrupted Kevin, wields the Asura Demon Sword and exudes an intensely pure killing intent.

Dark red sword light crisscrossed, each strike carrying the terrifying power to annihilate souls and defile divine essence.

His movements were concise and efficient, like a perfect killing machine. He could often dodge the raging waves of Heather with minimal effort, or precisely cleave through Cerudela's chains of law with his magic sword.

Kevin wielded his demonic sword, unleashing countless purplish-black scythes of vengeful spirits that blanketed the sky.

Heather met fire with fire, a dark blue beam of light descending from the sky and colliding with the scythe-like torrent. The resulting energy leveled several mountains, eroding the ground into bottomless craters. One side was shrouded in an evil, purplish-black aura, while the other retained the pure power of the ocean.
