Chapter 294 The Coup of the Heavenly Dou Palace?
Taking advantage of the negligible buffer time gained by exchanging Chrysanthemum Douluo's life, Bibi Dong frantically activated her six-winged purple light wings and narrowly moved dozens of meters to the side.
"What?! Her Holiness the Pope actually..."
The other two Title Douluos, witnessing this scene from afar, felt a chill run down their spines, an indescribable fear and coldness rising suddenly from the depths of their hearts.
Just as the golden dragon spear, carrying Chrysanthemum Douluo's flesh and blood, crashed to the ground, blasting a deep crater into the earth, the next moment...
"Buzz...!"
The towering golden giant suddenly shook violently, and the intense golden light on its body, as bright as the sun, flickered like a poorly connected lamp.
Its massive energy outline began to blur and distort!
Clearly, they forcibly destroyed five 100,000-year soul rings in one go.
Even when he fused with Xiao Ruier's martial soul and his strength surged, the terrifying burden and backlash far exceeded Tang Chuan's limits!
"cough……"
Faintly, one could hear Tang Chuan's suppressed groans coming from within the fused light cluster.
It was this brief instability and stiffness of power that gave the still-shaken Bibi Dong a final chance. She didn't bother to check the physical condition of the other two Title Douluos, nor did she feel any sadness or guilt for the death of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
Her survival instinct and ruthless nature led her to make the right choice.
"Walk!"
With a sharp shout, Bibi Dong's six purple wings on her back vibrated wildly, stirring up a gust of bloody wind, while she used her soul power to forcibly envelop the other two titled Douluo who were also seriously injured.
Finally, it turned into a tragic green streak of light.
At top speed, without looking back, they fled for their lives towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest!
She didn't even dare to look at the golden giant that seemed on the verge of collapse any longer, fearing that if she delayed even a second, that terrifying attack would strike again.
Today's defeat is arguably the most painful one Bibi Dong has suffered since becoming a Title Douluo!
A moment later.
With the energy rapidly diminishing, the enormous golden giant could no longer maintain its form.
The dazzling golden light receded like a tide, quickly receding inward and dissipating.
Finally, the golden light dissipated, revealing Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier standing there, supporting each other, their faces ashen white.
Both of them were extremely weak, especially Tang Chuan, whose body was swaying slightly and he could barely stand. He only managed to stay upright because Xiao Ruier was supporting him.
"I didn't expect that woman to escape again."
With a low growl, he forcibly suppressed the metallic taste rising in his throat. Although his eyes were tired, they still coldly stared in the direction Bibi Dong had fled.
The battlefield has finally returned to silence for the time being.
All that remained was a devastated land and the pervasive stench of blood and destruction in the air.
"call out--!"
Just as Tang Chuan was about to collapse from exhaustion, Xiao Ruier was struggling to support him.
A black streak of light, like lightning tearing through the night, descended from the sky with unparalleled majesty and overwhelming dragon might, silently landing not far in front of the two.
The light subsided, revealing a burly, dark-haired middle-aged man with an ancient-looking face.
He was dressed in a simple black robe, and between the opening and closing of his eyes, there was a faint golden light flowing. He was none other than the Beast God Di Tian, who had rushed over after sensing the energy fluctuations!
Looking at the battlefield around him, which looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite, Di Tian's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. When his gaze fell on Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier, who were supporting each other, their faces pale and their breaths extremely weak, a solemn expression appeared on his usually calm face.
"Rui'er, Tang Chuan, how are you? Are your injuries serious?"
Di Tian took a step forward and arrived in front of the two of them. His voice was deep and carried an undeniable authority, but it also contained a trace of concern that was not easily detected.
Upon seeing Di Tian arrive, Xiao Ruier's tense mind finally relaxed somewhat, and she quickly said:
"Uncle Di Tian, I'm alright, but my soul power and mental strength are severely depleted. It's just that Tang Chuan... in order to repel a powerful enemy, he forcibly used a self-created soul skill, and it seems that the backlash is quite significant."
Tang Chuan forced himself to lift his head and gave Di Tian a slight nod as a greeting.
He seems to have almost no strength left to speak.
Upon hearing this, a golden light flashed in Di Tian's eyes. He gave Tang Chuan a deep look, then reached out and a pure and gentle soul power, yet carrying a vast dragon might, slowly flowed into Tang Chuan's body, helping him stabilize his almost collapsing physical condition.
"Let's leave here first and go back to the Lake of Life."
…………
Meanwhile, in Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire.
Inside a secluded study in the Crown Prince's residence.
The flickering candlelight cast an inconspicuous glow on the map of the empire hanging on the wall.
Qian Renxue, dressed in the magnificent robes of a crown prince, stood with her back to the door, hands clasped behind her back, gazing intently at the map, as if pondering the future of the empire.
Just then, from the shadows in the corner of the study, as if painted with ink, a figure shrouded entirely in black night clothes silently emerged, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said:
"Your Highness."
Qian Renxue didn't turn around, but simply gave a faint "hmm," signaling the other person to continue.
The man in black bowed his head and reported:
"According to the latest intelligence, the Clear Sky Sect has reached a preliminary agreement with the Empire and will soon announce the reopening of its mountain gates and form an alliance with the Empire to jointly fight against the Spirit Hall."
He paused slightly, as if organizing his thoughts, before continuing.
"Furthermore, I have just received an urgent message from the Grand Elder through secret channels."
Upon hearing the words "Great Offering".
Qian Renxue's usually composed figure shifted almost imperceptibly.
The man in black continued in a deep voice, "The Grand Elder has decreed that the time is ripe. Your Highness is ordered to act swiftly to seize the highest authority in the Heavenly Dou Empire. There must be no mistake!"
A brief silence fell over the study, broken only by the soft crackling of the burning candlelight.
A moment later, Qian Renxue slowly turned around. Her gentle and refined face, which belonged to Xue Qinghe, was now covered with a layer of coldness and determination.
The emergence of the Clear Sky Sect and its alliance with the Empire will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire, making it significantly more difficult for the Spirit Hall to unify the continent in the future.
She had been infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire for nearly twenty years, painstakingly cultivating her power, feigning and enduring, climbing step by step from an unfavored prince to the position of crown prince, all for this moment, to bring the vast land of the Heaven Dou Empire into the territory of the Spirit Hall without bloodshed, or rather, at the lowest possible cost!
Today, the internal and external situations are changing.
Her grandfather already believed the time was right, and she... had indeed waited long enough.
"I understand." Qian Renxue's voice was calm and expressionless, revealing no emotion whatsoever. She said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order: proceed with the final stage of deployment according to the first plan. Ensure that every step is flawless."
"Yes, Your Highness!" The man in black bowed and accepted the order, his figure disappearing back into the shadows.
