Title: A Prophecy Realized (3)

Qian Daoliu hammered in early on that exceptional control of one’s spiritual energy grants a Spirit Master additional benefits. The concept behind such growth is simple. When control of spiritual energy is optimized, every spirit master walks upon a path of a Law—Control. But walking on this path alone does not bring one a mastery of the Law of Control. Maybe Daoliu himself is not aware of this Law, but the benefits he dubbed—Realm of Self—originate from such a concept.

Ja Sun’s Realm of Self grants him an ungodly control of Spirit Energy, allowing him to create variations of his spirit skills based on energy he utilizes and manipulates even before using several elemental Laws to create new Spiritual Skills. Others, like Erlong, were granted additional boosts to their elements. There are even rare talents like Oscar who could essentially divide the spiritual energy required for his spirit skills by half, doubling the production of his Tofu in return.

Bibi Dong is like them. Her Realm of Self initially granted her the ability to seamlessly transform from one martial soul to another while using a spiritual skill. This is a rare feat since others with Twin Martial Souls cannot just change their martial souls. These Spirit Masters need to deactivate their initial martial soul before equipping their second one. But after becoming a master in the Law of Negativity by digesting 40% of the laws left by Rakshasa as a reward for completing two trials, Bibi Dong realized she could take things a step further.

Ja Sun’s Martial Souls have revealed compatibility with Bibi Dong’s Martial Souls and Yuehua’s martial soul for a Spirit Fusion, but they never managed to work around it.

Ja Sun’s Evil Title and Bibi’s Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor are compatible. They, however, lacked spirit rings on their second Martial Souls to use their spirit fusion technique.

Ja Sun’s Three-Eyed Silver Sage and Yuehua’s Clear Phoenix are compatible, too, but the difference in their strength ascertains inevitable negative impacts on each other’s growth.

But Bibi Dong has no such issues.

Even if she lacks spirit rings on the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, she is not molding it with an external martial soul. And she has no disparity of strength to consider when… it’s her Martial Souls fusing!

Unimaginable power courses through her veins as Bibi Dong finds Rakshasa Scythe several times easier to wield. Six of her red eyes, surrounded by a helmet of dark green exoskeleton marked by purplish veins, simultaneously stare at Qian Xunji and the Silver Dragon King. Her  once slender and curvaceous form stands over six meters tall as her scythe grows to match her size. Powerful muscles undulate under her devilish form as her body is protected by a carapace of the same texture as the helmet covering the top half of her head, leaving her astonishingly dark purplish skin exposed beside her black lips and fierce fangs.

{A/N: Bibi Dong had a dark taimanin transformation, gagagaga.}

Four arms above and beneath her shoulder blades aside from her two regular arms flex as if getting a good measure of their current strength.

Self Spirit Fusion—Undead Spider Emperor.

Bibi Dong’s irrational killing intent bursts forth without care for what Ja Sun is preparing to do. She only has eyes for her enemies, with a pair to spare!

As Qian Xunji and the Silver Dragon King cautiously surround Bibi Dong, she flourishes her scythe with a sinister grin, six of her eyes light with wicked intentions as Qian Xunji and Silver Dragon hear sensual whispers stirring their thoughts with lust for blood and ruin that borders insanity!

“Hmph!”

Defiant snorts echo as the two beings resist Bibi Dong’s negative emotions planted in them.

*Chhiiiiiiiii*

A sharp, insectoid screech leaves Bibi Dong’s mouth as she is already upon Xunji with the blade of her scythe slicing through him. Gritting his jaws, the clone issues a resounding snarl, and Xunji cruelly slaps Bibi Dong’s head, causing her head to burst open like an exploding melon!

But the damage is already done.

*Spurt*

Qian Xunji’s eyes turn bloodshot as blood gushes out from the corner of his eyes with a wet splatter as he covers his mouth and experiences a coughing fit!

His floating body falls on the ground, contorting in manners that look more painful than words can describe as venomous-purplish veins enlarge around the corner of his eyes before visibly moving over his temples and stabbing down in his divine soul!

This attack only feels slightly weaker than the one he suffered not too long ago.

While Asura’s attack ripped open an almost unhealing wound, something Deities like Xunji can barely handle, much less Ja Sun, Bibi Dong’s attack feels equally ruthless in nature but traveling in a different direction.

Bibi Dong’s attack travels the plane of causality through his clone, something mortals cannot tread. But such rules do not apply to vicious creatures who wield Divine Weapons of the highest quality. Her attack is no worse than a spider’s bite—a spider saturated with Divine Poison!

Xunji feels raw negativity injected into his Divine Soul, a barely recovering soul, one might note. Bibi Dong’s attack is similar in nature to Xie Xan’s yin-suffused attack or Asura’s attack in the manner where the wound does not heal effortlessly. But Bibi Dong’s attack is poisonous in nature. It needs to be purged, cleaned, and then healed!

Xunji’s body continues to tremble. Unimaginable pain shoots through his spine, messing with his mind as he can only grit his jaw.

Bibi Dong’s head regenerates at a startling pace, her scythe shifting to her upper right arm as it hooks in a dangerous angle while cutting against the Silver Dragon King, who blinks from behind Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong lets out a bestial chuff in her current state as an odd chitter escapes her lips before she grins at the Silver Dragon King. She took care of Xunji’s clone using several factors, including surprise.

Her Spirit Fusion may have an amazing skill, but it is not without faults. For instance, the consumption of Spiritual Energy, mental energy, and internal energy in this state is horrifying!

Having devoured what little of Xunji was present, however, exhaustion of spirit energy is the least Bibi Dong cares for!

“You aren’t mindless. Yet you refuse to talk like a human?” Silver Dragon mocks as she meets the swifts and precise arcs of the scythe with the blows of her spear. Her words only rouse jittery, soul-numbing cackles from Bibi Dong as she latches on the Dragon’s phantoms whenever the Silver Dragon uses spatial elements to teleport.

“Hmm?”

Ah Yin’s eyes widen in surprise as she quickly latches Blue Silver Goddess around the unsuspecting Snow fending off the unending tendrils of slime to pull her away as a long gash of purple energy slices past them and stabs into Ja Sun’s body, causing his massive body to contort further as the whirlpool in his body grows intense.

“Watch it!” Zi Ji shouts, but her words fail to reach Bibi Dong, who lets out a low whistle while attacking the Silver Dragon with all she has!

“She’s lost her mind,” Snow narrows her eyes.

“Wait,” Zi Ji yelps in surprise, “What’s that?”

A massive portal expands from the whirlpool in Ja Sun’s body under everyone’s surprised expression as silver lightning crackles around the portal. Silver Dragon’s breathing hurries as she blinks away to attack the portal itself, but she dodges another wave of the scythe with a furious scowl.

“We need to stop him! Now!” Silver Dragon glares at Bibi Dong before throwing her spear at the portal as she herself stalls Bibi Dong with a sudden fusion of elements.

*Crackle*

Five elements fuse together, forming a destructive beam of energy that only follows the path of destruction, which Bibi Dong evades with a grin. Her arm shucks her scythe at the spear as she curls her arms in flex and roars loudly.

The scythe barely reaches the spear when the silver spear lets a sonorous cry loose, shaking the surrounding through formless ripples before passing through the portal.

“Huh?” Silver Dragon blinks as the shock of her spatial attack failing is significant to the degree of not noticing Bibi Dong’s claws swiping against her arm and tearing her limb away in one fall swoop!

“Absolute… chaos,” Daoliu notes calmly as he sits not far from the spot where Ja Sun holds Bo Saixi in a protective position.

Just keeping track of everything happening at once is a headache—Bibi Dong going berserk, Lan Ruo and Snow destroying enhanced attacks from Ja Sun by giving their all as Ah Yin and Bi Ji support them, Zi Ji continuously devouring more chunks of Ja Sun’s flesh, Bo Saixi still lost in her moral compass yet again as she is forced to realize things are beyond her choice of Poseidon and Ja Sun…

“Chaos is one way to put it,” A carefree chuckle breaks beside Daoliu as he looks to his side. The Former Grand Priest of Spirit Hall would be surprised had he been as strong as before, but Daoliu is weak now, and many things can surprise him. So, he decides to get used to the feeling as his pale red pupils observe the dark-skinned and furred beast curiously.

“YOU FOOL!” Silver Dragon’s arm regenerates as she spits a mouthful of foul purplish blood, glaring at the silver spear in the newcomer’s hand.

The individual chuckles again and explains to Daoliu, “Her anger comes from a place of love, I assure you. You know how fathers can be, right? Strict, loving, and all that?” He lets go of the silver spear as it swiftly retracts toward the Silver Dragon.

“She is your father?” Daoliu continues the conversation, not minding if the world ends in the next second.

“Hmm, technically, she is a part of my father,” the beast croaks with a huff. “So, I suppose this makes the Silver Dragon King my sister.”

Daoliu nods and smiles, “Relatively simple if you ask me. I once knew an aristocrat who married his grandmother and had kids with her daughter, too. Now that is a complicated loop.”

The dark spirit beast blinks in surprise before he explodes into loud laughter, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Haaaa! Humans always have some interesting story. My turn, I suppose. Others in the human world know me as Shrek. A legend at this point,” Qian Daoliu’s eyes widen briefly as Shrek catches on quickly, “Oh, have you heard of me?”

“I have.”

“Hmm, well, all I did was kill a giant green ogre at a village. Turns out I was more terrifying at the time because of my color. Can you imagine that? Humans fearing a black monster over a green one!”

Qian Daoliu touches his jaw and smiles wryly, “That doesn’t put us in a flattering light.”

Shrek, or rather, the Dragon Prince, half-shrugs. “It’s an acceptable range of emotion compared to humans killing other humans for absolutely no reason.”

While Shrek had attracted others’ attention, they all sort of had bigger things to deal with and left him alone once noticing he wasn’t attacking anyone at all.

“And why are you here, Shrek?” Daoliu questions as Shrek points at the increasingly larger portal.

“I’m here for that. Your disciple is going to do something amazing. Something that hasn’t been done since ancient times.”

“And what would that be?” Daoliu questions.

“Acquiring species from other worlds.”
