Despite being severely injured, with his chest almost cleaved in two, Chen Hong acted as if nothing had happened, still chatting and laughing.

"Having survived my angelic judgment, I acknowledge your abilities!"

"Under normal circumstances, I might actually consider taking you as a general! But now, from the moment you enter this door, your death is imminent!" Angel Douluo Qian Xunji's aura grew increasingly powerful. He walked step by step toward Chen Hong with his sword drawn, his sword intent constantly condensing, poised to slay evil with a single strike.

"Ahem. Didn't His Holiness just say that I am an evil soul master? Ahem. Why are you still thinking of taking me as a soldier?" Chen Hong, who had just gotten up from the ground and whose wounds had been simply stitched up by spider spears, looked at Qian Xunji who was approaching him step by step with a smile.

"Evil is always an action, not a force!" Qianxun paused for a moment, then roared out these words! Chen Hong seemed to be able to hear a hint of desperate rage in the other's voice.

"Hehe." Chen Hong chuckled. What did he admire most about the Spirit Hall? It was that these people truly understood that power was a tool, and that good and evil resided in the human heart.

Whether it was Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji, or Bibi Dong, they were all aware of this problem. Even Qian Xunji, the Douluo of the Secret Chamber, reached a consensus with the other popes on this issue.

Otherwise, Bibi Dong would not have been able to become the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

"His Holiness is so adorably silly," Chen Hong said with a weak smile.

"Insolence! Evil scoundrel! Repent under the blazing flames of light!" Qian Xunji suddenly roared in fury, his sword aura instantly coalescing, and the giant light sword beside him slashed towards Chen Hong!

hum!

As the sword light approached, a huge buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the surrounding secret chamber space expanded instantly. A huge black spider-shaped martial spirit summoning array flashed across the ground!

boom!

A huge explosion rang out, and two giant spider spears covered with sharp spikes and extremely ferocious appearance crossed to intercept Qian Xunji's fatal attack!

When Qian Xunji focused his attention, he discovered that a giant Death Spider King, more than three meters tall, had taken Chen Hong's place. Its forelimbs were broken, but it still managed to intercept Qian Xunji's fatal attack!

"I once said that Soul Saint might be an insurmountable peak for Soul Masters. Even after millions of years of development, the Soul Douluo and Title Douluo realms still haven't broken free from the Soul Saint category." The terrifying Death Spider King, with a horrible wound on its body, coldly stared at Qian Xunji, who was still trying to rush forward, and said in a cold voice.

"I've always preferred to refer to the Intent Soul Ring as the second-tier Soul Ring."

"Unfortunately, I have never met anyone who has unlocked the second level of the Martial Soul True Body. Even Qian Daoliu only managed to achieve a superficial level, hovering around the first level."

Golden and black divine runes flashed continuously across the Death Spider Queen's body. Chen Hong hadn't brought much soul power, thus limiting the abilities he could use. For example, in this state of soul resonance, Chen Hong could decipher the martial soul imprint deep within Bibi Dong's soul in a short time, and this martial soul imprint contained a vast amount of Bibi Dong's martial soul data!

In other words, under the resonance of souls, Chen Hong was able to decipher Bibi Dong's martial soul divine runes!

However, this ability is limited by Chen Hong's soul size. In a short period of time, he can only concentrate all his mind to decipher a martial soul divine rune!

Chen Hong ultimately chose to place his only chance to decipher the code on Bibi Dong's seventh spirit ring, the true form of the Death Spider Emperor!

"Evil one! Cease your rampage!" Qian Xunji naturally did not want to give Chen Hong time to survive, and directly attempted to launch a strong attack to kill the Death Spider King.

In an instant, the interior of this secret chamber, which existed in the realm of the soul, began to expand rapidly. Amidst the flashes of lightning, the sounds of impact rang out continuously, and the space itself began to tremble.

However, what Qian Xunji found incredible was that although he was able to leave wounds on the Death Spider King every time, those wounds all healed at an extremely terrifying speed. In the end, even the huge wound he had left on Chen Hong's body was completely healed as the divine patterns on the Death Spider King's body flashed! Moreover, the opponent's aura was constantly expanding, with almost endless heaven and earth soul power constantly converging towards the Death Spider King!

boom!

Suddenly, Qian Xunji was caught off guard and blasted away by the Death Spider King at its peak. Then, the Death Spider King's divine patterns flashed, and its size continued to shrink until it finally transformed back into the appearance of Chen Hong, the spider with closed eyes. Moreover, this Chen Hong had not a single wound on his body!

Second-tier Martial Soul True Body: Spirit and Flesh as One!

The True Form of a Martial Soul has a very peculiar aspect: it can reflect the injuries of the Soul Master's physical body. If the physical body is injured, the True Form will also be injured, and vice versa. Even more peculiar is that in the True Form state, the Soul Master's life form exists in a superposition of reality and illusion, existing between an energy body and a life body.

The traditional martial spirit true form cannot be changed in any way.

The first-tier Martial Soul True Body changes its form, similar to Qian Daoliu, summoning a giant true body to brutally beat up the Ice Emperor.

The second-tier Martial Soul True Body changes the form of life and officially enters the realm of energy life.

All injuries sustained by the physical body in reality can be restored through energy in the Martial Soul True Body state!

"Although we didn't obtain His Holiness the Pope's immortality, who can say whether the principle of immortality is a derivative of the second-tier martial soul true body? After all, all soul skills are actually a partial reflection of the martial soul's origin."

With his eyes closed, Spider-Patterned Chen Hong smiled slightly at Qian Xunji, whose face was full of apprehension. Then, he suddenly turned to face the Soul-Devouring Spider King and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall behind him, and said with a smile, "Now that things have come to this, why doesn't Your Holiness lift the restrictions on the Soul-Devouring Spider King?"

The saintess silently looked at Chen Hong, who had the spider-patterned hair, with his eyes closed, and a trace of emotion finally appeared on her numb face.

Because she saw a trickle of crimson blood slowly flowing from the corner of Chen Hong's eye, tracing paths down his cheeks, and sliding down the black spiderweb-like markings on his face...

Clearly, Chen Hong was silently enduring something, unbeknownst to her.

The saintess glanced at the Soul-Devouring Spider King in front of her, then at the man smiling at her with tears of blood streaming down his face, and finally nodded gently.

Having gained the Holy Maiden's 'approval,' Chen Hong smiled. Suddenly, before anyone could react, a gaping maw of abyss shot out from behind him, its sharp fangs piercing the Soul-Devouring Spider King's body, splattering blood everywhere!

Chen Hong, who had brutally killed the Soul-Devouring Spider King, turned around with the increasingly terrifying Dark Spider King behind him to look at the astonished Qian Xunji:

"Welcome to Hell."

(The metaphor behind this will be explained later.)
