Chapter 23: The Death Empress and the Soul-Devouring Empress—Bibi Dong’s Complete Submission
Noticing the light cocoon starting to crack, Yao Xuan quickly turned his head and issued instructions.
"Understood, Master!"
Keisha smiled faintly at Yao Xuan's command, activating her spatial abilities to escort Yao Xuan, Tushan Susu, and Bibi Dong out of the Hall of Worship.
...
Moments later.
Inside the cultivation chamber of the Pope's Palace.
Crack! Crack!
A series of crisp sounds echoed as the cocoon of light encasing Bibi Dong shattered. A slender, alabaster arm emerged from within.
Then came the flawless, breathtaking figure of Bibi Dong, her peerless beauty unmarred by a single imperfection, her snow-white skin radiant under the dim light.
"Ah! Don't look!"
As Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, she stretched lazily, her expression one of contentment and ease.
However, she soon noticed Yao Xuan's appreciative gaze from afar and immediately realized—
During her martial soul evolution, her dress had been completely burned away by the intense soul power.
Blushing slightly, Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed crimson. With a shy exclamation, she hastily enveloped herself in an opaque barrier of soul power.
"Ah, still a bit shy, I see! No worries—when we've been together longer, you'll get used to it," Yao Xuan said with a calm smile.
As the saying goes, familiarity breeds ease. It's natural to feel awkward at first, but after a few more experiences, Bibi Dong would surely take it in stride.
At this moment, Bibi Dong retrieved a new robe from her storage soul tool. After dressing herself properly, she dismissed the soul power barrier and reappeared before Yao Xuan.
"Congratulations, Dong'er. You've grown even more beautiful and now exude the aura of a true empress! By the way, your two martial souls must have evolved successfully, right?"
Surveying the unparalleled beauty before him, Yao Xuan smiled and inquired warmly.
"Of course! Look, these are my evolved martial souls—Death Empress and Soul-Devouring Empress!"
Bibi Dong's exquisite face lit up with an excited smile as she activated her evolved god-tier martial souls.
In the next moment, two regal silhouettes appeared behind her. Each radiated an aura of majesty, their figures graceful and crowned with golden tiaras. Their faces bore an uncanny resemblance to Bibi Dong's, each an epitome of celestial beauty.
On Bibi Dong's left was her first martial soul, the Death Empress—a figure with flowing black hair, dressed in a Gothic black gown and wielding a scepter that commanded the power of death.
On her right was her second martial soul, the Soul-Devouring Empress—a purple-haired goddess adorned in an intricately patterned violet palace gown, her mysterious eyes shimmering with an aura capable of devouring souls.
"Hmm, it seems your martial souls have evolved into forms akin to innate body-bound martial souls. Even when using your true form, you'll retain your grace and beauty," Yao Xuan remarked, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
After all, no one would wish for their beloved to transform into a half-human, half-spider monstrosity, would they?
With the evolution of her martial souls, one of Bibi Dong's long-standing issues was finally resolved. The next step was to erase the Rakshasa God's imprint, then wait for Yao Xuan to break through to the Soul Saint rank and obtain the system item [Destiny Alteration Card]. Using it, he could change Bibi Dong's destiny entirely, achieving her complete redemption.
"Indeed. Thank you, Yao Xuan!"
Moved by his words, Bibi Dong nodded earnestly. Her gaze toward Yao Xuan brimmed with gentleness, admiration, and affection.
After witnessing so many miracles surrounding Yao Xuan in just one day and receiving so much from him, Bibi Dong's heart had utterly surrendered to him.
If not for the fact that Yao Xuan was only six years old, still a mere child, she might have taken their relationship further.
But for now, Bibi Dong resolved silently: when Yao Xuan grew older, she would dedicate herself entirely to him, serving him with all her heart.
"Alright, since your martial souls have evolved into god-tier entities, I shall impart to you a far more advanced cultivation technique!"
Feeling the depth of Bibi Dong's devotion, Yao Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He instructed her to sit cross-legged, placed his fingertip on her forehead, and transmitted the Creation Breathing Art to her.
"This... such a profound cultivation method actually exists in this world?"
"I feel that if I switch to cultivating this technique, my speed will increase by at least four to five times!"
"Not only that, but this method also holds the key to becoming a god. It's incredible!"
"This technique outlines a clear path: overcoming the thresholds of pseudo-demigod, demigod, and quasi-god, forging a divine body, elevating the divine soul, igniting the divine flame, and ultimately ascending the divine throne to become a deity!"
Overwhelmed with joy and amazement, Bibi Dong couldn't help but marvel at the profound knowledge now imprinted in her mind.
"Indeed. The Rakshasa God's trial you undertook may allow you to ascend to godhood, but it would forever bind you to the Rakshasa God's limits."
"This Creation Breathing Art represents a true path to godhood. It grants limitless potential for advancement!"
Hearing Yao Xuan's explanation, Bibi Dong's eyes shone with excitement.
"Thank you so much, Yao Xuan! By the way, my second martial soul still lacks soul rings. Could Sister Keisha help me hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast for a quick breakthrough?"
Excitement brimming in her eyes, Bibi Dong proposed.
"Why bother hunting soul beasts just to acquire soul rings? You've taken divine trials; you must have used god-bestowed soul rings before, haven't you?"
Yao Xuan's response was a playful smile.
"Of course, but a soul master can only fuse a god-bestowed soul ring once. I've already used mine," Bibi Dong explained quickly.
"Well, that doesn't matter. The rings you'll fuse this time aren't ordinary god-bestowed soul rings—they're adaptive soul ring crystals!"
"These crystals are superior to god-bestowed soul rings. They have no usage limits and can be fused infinitely!"
As he spoke, Yao Xuan took out nine adaptive soul ring crystals and handed them to Bibi Dong.
"Really? Let me try them right away!"
Bibi Dong's eyes sparkled with excitement, eager to begin.
"Not so fast. I'll need a drop of your blood first."
With a faint smile, Yao Xuan interrupted her enthusiasm.
"A drop of blood? Alright."
Without hesitation, Bibi Dong pricked her finger, allowing a drop of her blood to fall into a jade box, which she then passed to Yao Xuan.
"Now, I won't disturb you while you fuse the rings. Good luck!"
Taking the blood, Yao Xuan smiled warmly, gave Bibi Dong instructions for her cultivation, and turned to Tushan Susu, preparing for the next step in his plans.
