Ghost Douluo thought he was hallucinating when he heard this.
What kind of existence was a million-year spirit beast? It was comparable to a quasi-god level, and likely didn't even exist on the entire Douluo Continent.
At least that was his understanding; after all, neither he nor Chrysanthemum had ever even encountered a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Expecting them to estimate the upper limit of this terrifying power was asking too much of them.
"Dead Chrysanthemum? Stop scaring yourself. Could Miss Qian Renxue have directly cultivated into a god after all these years?"
Ghost Douluo was anything but calm; he wanted to slap himself twice to make sure this wasn't reality.
But it was real—truer than true.
On the other side, Bone Douluo's fighting spirit vanished instantly, and the spirit power he had raised receded completely.
Before this magnificent spectacle of absolute darkness in the sky, all their combat efforts seemed pale and powerless.
Three Rank 95 Titled Douluo were like a group of snails soaked in salt, liable to be melted at any moment.
Chu Feng, however, was exceptionally calm, floating right next to that solemn angel statue.
His gaze swept across the endless abyss, as if countless fallen demons were reveling within it.
He could see that Qian Renxue was likely fine, just temporarily possessed by her dark side.
Under the influence of karma, the original trial of good and evil from Qian Renxue's Nine Angel Trials had now turned into a tragedy of demons sweeping the world.
Chu Feng went straight to the very top of the path to godhood, the position closest to the Gate of Angels.
He thought about resolving this trouble from the source, but he realized things were getting a bit out of control.
Swish~
Suddenly, a punch lunged out from the darkness, carrying power equivalent to a god.
It was Dark Qian Renxue. She also had those familiar twelve wings, but they were dark purple and exuded the aura of hell.
But wanting to hurt Chu Feng was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
Chu Feng's figure was like lightning, flowing freely in the air, as he intended to draw Dark Qian Renxue out completely.
Chrysanthemum Douluo watched this scene, feeling an inexplicable pressure from this stranger, Chu Feng.
Although it was nowhere near the pressure the darkness gave him, he didn't dare ignore his strength.
"Dead Chrysanthemum? Hey! What are you dazing for? What do you think we should do?"
Ghost Douluo roared; he was impatient and had no ideas.
"Do you think we can go save Miss Qian Renxue? If we don't, how will we report back to the Supreme Pontiff?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo knew what his old partner was thinking, but he was equally at a loss.
Xue Qinghe's plan had always been of the utmost importance to Spirit Hall; this matter could not be handled carelessly.
But for the two of them to rush up and dance in the sky, they couldn't overcome that psychological hurdle—it was a near-certain death.
"Hmph? Just what kind of conspiracy is your Spirit Hall covering up?"
Bone Douluo only had his stubborn mouth left; even if he still had the desire to fight, he couldn't summon his spirit power.
Because the influence of the darkness was too toxic, it had already suppressed the soldiers and disciples he led until they were wailing in pain, their lives hanging by a thread.
"If Spirit Hall had such a masterpiece, the world would have been in our pockets long ago. Do you think that's possible?"
Ghost Douluo's counter-question left Bone Douluo stunned; it seemed there was indeed some truth to that logic.
Boom!
While the three were bickering, Chu Feng had already raised his three-ring sword and was showing off divine techniques.
The dark demon sword condensed from Dark Qian Renxue's spirit power was suppressed at every turn, leaving her gasping for breath.
Even with the continuous replenishment of energy from the darkness of the path to godhood, she could not gain the upper hand.
"You should just let my darling Xue out. Your strength as an imitation is really too weak."
Chu Feng mocked her heartlessly, but didn't forget to praise Qian Renxue as well.
How could the dark side endure that? Her wish was to replace Qian Renxue; she couldn't possibly lose to her in performance.
So, she increased the dosage of her madness, summoning a group of skull-headed sheep with black trails from the darkness.
These were the followers of fallen angels, formed from the condensed souls of evil people who had fallen into eternal damnation.
They ground their upper and lower teeth together, making a clattering, noisy sound as their charging cry.
Instantly, the entire sky was filled with an endless mournful wailing, as if it wanted to knock the souls out of people.
"We should get moving. We can't let a stranger steal our spotlight."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's hands were itching; it would be an insult to his gentlemanly style if he just kept watching.
Furthermore, Qian Renxue was the most promising figure in Spirit Hall's future; he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"I was thinking the same thing. Let's go."
Ghost Douluo followed suit.
Their actions also happened to attract some of the sheep-headed monsters, and the two sides engaged in battle.
As for Bone Douluo, he had no such intention; he was cunning by nature and wouldn't do anything futile.
Moreover, half of Heaven Dou City was already destroyed. In his mind, his mission was already complete, and he wanted to leave.
But he was overthinking it. How could anyone remain unscathed under the darkness? There were only two outcomes: dying or killing the darkness.
"Heh, if I can't take down that monster, can't I take down you?"
Dark Qian Renxue suddenly descended upon the Heaven Dou Imperial City, immediately wiping out hundreds of imperial soldiers.
Her wings and her demon sword were covered in a bloody hue, her blade pointing directly at Bone Douluo.
Bone Douluo was trembling all over; even if he wanted to force himself to stay calm, he couldn't.
"Ninth Spirit Ability, Bone Transformation into Divine Dragon."
Bone Douluo directly unleashed his trump card, his strongest and most ferocious move.
A huge circular area was marked on the ground, and several bone spikes grew from it.
A fierce Bone Dragon wrapped in black-gray mist spread its wings and flew out from within; this was precisely what he had transformed into.
His physical bones were now dragon bones, and both his attack and defense could rise rapidly, even surpassing his current level.
One could say this choice was irrational and inconsistent with his lifelong style.
But he himself knew better; the Grim Reaper was already beckoning to him, and this was his only option.
Dark Qian Renxue was overjoyed at this moment, raising her sword and emitting a super-strong light wave.
This strike could flip Heaven Dou City over, and for Bone Douluo, it was an almost unavoidable killing blow.
But it wouldn't be so easy for him to die; just as his Bone Dragon body was about to shatter.
He suddenly grasped a wisp of ethereal aura, something he had dreamed of before.
Another two-hundred-thousand-year spirit bone, and one that could enhance the power of his bone spikes.
"This is a gift from me, Satan, prepared for my great friend from the distant lands of the West."
A muffled voice echoed in Bone Douluo's ears, and dark energy swirled around him.
He suddenly opened his eyes; Dark Qian Renxue was no longer there, and he had become the darkest existence.
That's right, Bone Douluo knelt to Satan, just as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had knelt in submission to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
He knelt very decisively and directly; he accepted the desires in his subconscious and the blessing from Satan.
What he wanted was endless glory and wealth, and a high-and-mighty status.
He felt that falling into hell for this was quite worth it.
