Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 45 Washing Away the Lead and Glamour

Bibi Dong, who was absorbing the million-year soul ring, was completely unaware of Ye Li's actions. The absorption of the million-year soul ring had entered its final stage, and she would explode and die if she was not careful.

As her aura subsided, Bibi Dong opened her captivating eyes. The first thing she saw was Ye Li lying on her lap, with a few drops of blood around Ye Li's mouth.

Bibi Dong quickly helped Ye Li up and leaned her against her chest. Inadvertently, Bibi Dong's hand touched her lips, and when she looked again, there were some bloodstains on her hand.

"Could it be that Ali lost too much blood, all to help me perfectly absorb the million-year soul ring?"

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Li in her arms with heartache and hugged her tighter. Her disciple, who always called her "sister," had gone to such lengths for her. How could she, as his sister, not feel heartache? Bibi Dong remained motionless in that position and reached out to transfer soul power to Ye Li in her arms.

Half an hour later, Ye Li finally woke up slowly, let out a long sigh, and looked at Bibi Dong, who was healing her wounds, and was startled: "Could it be that she already knows?"

"Ah Li, you're finally awake! You almost scared your sister to death. Don't take such risks next time." Bibi Dong looked at Ye Li reproachfully.

"Sister, Ah Li won't do it again next time." Ye Li quickly stood up from Bibi Dong's arms.

"But this time it's all thanks to you, Ali, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to absorb this million-year soul ring so smoothly," Bibi Dong said.

"It's good that you're alright, sister. Now it's time for you to fuse your two great martial souls, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor," Ye Li said to Bibi Dong.

"What should I do?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Sister, your two martial souls are of the same origin. By using the twin lotus of immortal herbs to fuse the two martial souls, and by tempering your physical qualities with the eight-cornered ice grass and the blazing apricot, you can accept the fusion of the new martial soul." As she spoke, Ye Li picked two immortal herbs, one blue and one red, from beside the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and explained to Bibi Dong how to absorb them and when to absorb them.

Three celestial herbs floated in front of Bibi Dong. Following Ye Li's instructions, Bibi Dong swallowed the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, then jumped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and subsequently released her two martial souls.

While Bibi Dong was tempering her physique, Ye Li, on the shore, looked at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and murmured, "I wonder if the energy contained in the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul bone can fuse the two powers together."

At this moment, after the effects of the two immortal herbs took hold, the sensations brought by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate Grass caused Bibi Dong to instantly lose all perception of the outside world.

Ye Li's decision to choose these two herbs as the fusion materials was naturally well thought out. Ice and fire are mutually destructive, and when the two herbs are brought together, they will have the neutralizing effect mentioned earlier. At that time, the addition of the twin lotus will mediate and achieve an alternative balance.

Only then did Bibi Dong realize how immense the pain she was about to endure was. Although the ice and fire energies within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye had been neutralized beforehand, they began to churn wildly once they entered her body. The medicinal power contained in the immortal herbs was terrifying.

The spring water inside the Yin-Yang Well churned briefly as Bibi Dong entered. Before long, as the water surged, Bibi Dong quietly sank into it. The surface of the water returned to calm, the milky white and crimson colors still clearly distinct, and the water vapor still filled the air. Everything returned to silence.

The phantoms of the Soul-Devouring Spider King and the Death Spider King, the two martial souls, stood above the Ice Spring and the Fire Spring respectively. At this moment, the two were merging with each other. Seeing that the time was right, Ye Li dripped a drop of his phoenix essence blood onto the twin lotus. The moment the phoenix essence blood merged, the twin lotus turned into a milky white gas, which, under Ye Li's guidance, entered the two martial souls.

Ye Li then released his Nine-Colored Jade Phoenix. At this moment, the Nine-Colored Jade Phoenix hovered above the two martial souls, using its characteristics and martial soul quality to influence the Death Spider King and the Soul Devouring Spider King.

The eighteen spirit rings attached to the two martial souls slowly emerged and merged with each other under the guidance of the Nine-Colored Jade Phoenix. The most dangerous process had passed, and the current state was already a great success. Under Ye Li's gaze, the two martial souls had completed the final fusion and transformed into a purple and beautiful figure, except that it had eight spider legs on its back, and the spider legs on both sides were covered with red and blue colors.

"A humanoid martial soul with the three elements of poison, ice, and fire, estimated to be on the same level as the six-winged angel martial soul and the sea god martial soul, but in reality, it far surpasses those two martial souls, a super god-level martial soul," Ye Li estimated based on the martial soul's current power.

At this moment, nine soul rings swirled around the exquisite martial spirit, red, red, red, red, red, red, orange-gold, and brilliant gold, the nine soul rings shining one after another.

At this moment, the Rakshasa God who inherited Bibi Dong fell into deep thought after sensing the earth-shattering changes in his successor. He finally came to a conclusion: "Perhaps, Bibi Dong can really advance the Rakshasa God's divine position to the level of God-King."

"Very well, since that's the case, Bibi Dong, I'll give you some more rewards. The eighth test will help you find someone worthy of your trust, so you won't end up like me." As she spoke, Rakshasa God condensed a purple light in her hand and flew towards Douluo Continent.

"Let me see how high you can go in the future."

.........

At this moment, the pained expression on Bibi Dong's face inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye gradually subsided. After a ball of purple light entered, Bibi Dong's appearance underwent a dramatic change. Her originally light purple hair turned dark purple, and her already beautiful face became even more stunning.

"The seventh test of the Rakshasa God has been passed. The reward is 15% affinity with the Rakshasa God's position. The current affinity is 85%. The lifespan of the inheritor's soul ring and soul bone has been increased to 50,000 years."

While still unconscious, Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that she had passed the eighth test: "When did the Rakshasa God become so generous? He actually gave a reward! The sun must have risen in the west!"

But the next second, the content of the eighth test of the Rakshasa God left Bibi Dong, who was just overjoyed, dumbfounded. Wasn't this making things difficult for her? The content of the eighth test of the Rakshasa God was to find a trustworthy person to marry within five years, with a reward of 15% affinity.

Bibi Dong sighed helplessly, without having any doubts about the divine test at this moment. It was no wonder, since the divine test was controlled by the gods, and changing the test content would be effortless.
