Seeing Bibi Dong launch the first attack, Di Tian met her head-on without hesitation.
His body shone with golden light, as brilliant as the sun, and his dragon roar echoed through the heavens, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle and fall.
He moved like lightning, transforming into a golden streak of light, charging towards Bibi Dong with unstoppable momentum.
However, the moment they clashed, Di Tian felt an overwhelming pressure surge towards him.
Bibi Dong lightly swung her Rakshasa artifact, and a black light pierced through like a sharp sword.
Di Tian hurriedly raised his claws to block, but with a loud "bang," he felt a sharp pain in his arms, as if struck by a massive hammer, and his body involuntarily retreated.
"How is this possible?
When did Bibi Dong become so strong?"
Di Tian was shocked. He gritted his teeth and charged forward again. This time, he channeled his soul power to its limit, and golden light formed a solid shield around him. Bibi Dong remained unfazed.
With a flick of her wrist, the gems on her Rakshasa artifact shone brightly, instantly unleashing several beams of black light.
These beams, seemingly alive, nimbly bypassed Di Tian's shield, striking his vitals.
Di Tian dodged left and right, narrowly escaping death.
He was the strongest person below the gods, capable of handling any powerful enemy with ease in the past, yet now, before Bibi Dong, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
Could it be…? A very ominous thought arose in Di Tian's mind,
"Has she already become a god?" This thought cast a shadow over Di Tian's heart. Bibi Dong gave Di Tian no chance to breathe.
She wielded the Rakshasa artifact faster and faster, the black light pouring down on Di Tian like a storm.
Each beam contained terrifying power, tearing the space itself apart with tiny cracks.
"Hmph, today is your death day!"
Bibi Dong coldly shouted, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Di Tian's heart tightened; he knew he could no longer afford to be passively attacked.
He took a deep breath, and golden light erupted from his body, so intense that it was impossible to look directly at him.
Within the light, Di Tian transformed into a gigantic golden dragon, its scales shimmering with dazzling golden light, its claws incredibly sharp, its whiskers fluttering, exuding a majestic aura.
The golden dragon bared its fangs and claws as it lunged at Bibi Dong, spewing a golden flame from its mouth as if to incinerate everything in its path.
But Bibi Dong merely waved her scepter, and a black barrier instantly appeared.
This barrier was like an insurmountable wall; the flames spewed by the golden dragon vanished instantly upon impact.
The golden dragon's claws gripped the barrier, only sending up a few sparks, unable to break through.
"Pathetic!"
Bibi Dong mocked, waving her scepter again.
Suddenly, countless black tentacles emerged from the black barrier, coiling around the golden dragon.
Di Tian's face turned extremely ugly.
He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the tentacles' restraints, but they only tightened their grip, making him almost unable to move.
Seeing Di Tian in trouble, Xiong Jun's eyes widened in fury, his long brown fur standing on end. He roared,
"I'm here to help you, Di Tian!"
And charged forward like a moving mountain. He swung his thick arms, creating gusts of wind; each strike contained immense power.
"Behold my iron fist!"
The Demon King no longer hesitated, coldly declaring,
"We can't let her be so arrogant!"
With a flicker, he transformed into a gigantic demonic tree.
The tree's trunk was thick, like a black iron pillar, its branches intertwined like ferocious demonic claws.
Green light flickered on the tree, and eerie runes appeared and disappeared.
The Demon King manipulated the tree's branches, lashing them at Bibi Dong like whips.
"Let me show you my power!"
Biji, meanwhile, waved her hands, green light surging from them as she anxiously shouted,
"With everyone united, we can definitely fight her!"
Her hands transformed into soft yet resilient vines, attempting to entangle Bibi Dong and buy Di Tian a chance to breathe.
The addition of these individuals temporarily alleviated Di Tian's predicament, forcing Bibi Dong to divert her attention from their attacks.
