As Bibi Dong spoke, the phantom of the Death Spider Emperor appeared behind her.
In the next instant, the Death Spider Emperor possessed her.
A layer of purple-black, glossy armor instantly covered her upper body. A defensive exoskeleton formed on her delicate face, and four slender, agile eyes grew beneath her original pair.
Her legs disappeared, replaced by a massive, spherical spider abdomen.
Eight thick, segmented legs extended from this sphere, each covered in green, venomous hairs secreting a nauseating fluid.
As the venom dripped onto the ground of the Sunset Forest, the grass beneath it corroded away instantly.
At this moment, Bibi Dong looked like a venomous spider standing upright.
Nine soul rings slowly floated up behind her—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
A powerful aura descended upon Bear Lord, suffocating him like a deathly gaze from the depths of the abyss.
'Damn it.'
Bear Lord cursed in his heart.
'I just got unfrozen, and now I have to fight again?!'
He sneaked a glance at Xue Tianyu, Xue Di, and Bing Di.
Seeing that none of them had any intention of intervening, he understood that they wouldn't help him.
Ever since he arrived in the Sunset Forest, he had first been stalked, then beaten up by Xue Tianyu.
After Xue Tianyu was done, he was beaten up again by Xue Di and Bing Di together.
It felt as if everything along the way had been targeting him.
Bear Lord was frustrated.
He was one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, yet he had been beaten up repeatedly without even being able to fight back.
Now, even a random woman wanted to attack him and take his soul ring?
Bear Lord was furious.
Fine, then.
"Roar!"
With a furious roar, Bear Lord bellowed, "Come on! Let's see who's afraid of who!"
A powerful soul beast aura erupted from him. Bibi Dong immediately realized why Ghost Douluo had died.
This bear was far stronger than an ordinary 100,000-year soul beast!
"Ghost Douluo, today, I will avenge you!"
After all, Ghost Douluo had accomplished a lot under her command. Bibi Dong decided to take this bear's life as an offering to his spirit!
Her second soul ring suddenly lit up.
"Second Soul Skill—Death Hunt!"
Bibi Dong locked onto Bear Lord's massive body, extending a hand and pointing at his head.
A phantom spider shadow suddenly appeared above Bear Lord, releasing a highly toxic spiderweb.
This web possessed extreme corrosive power. Any lower-ranked Soul Master caught in it would be sliced apart and melted in an instant.
Bear Lord had been focused on Bibi Dong, so when the web suddenly descended, he was instantly trapped.
"Szzzz…"
"Argh!"
The intense corrosion from the web caused patches of his fur to fall off.
With a furious howl, Bear Lord's massive golden chain radiated a dazzling golden light.
His soul power surged and became extremely sharp, slicing through the web completely.
The fallen web corroded the ground, leaving the grass withered and dead.
"What a vicious soul skill."
Bear Lord frowned as he looked at the lifeless ground.
This kind of poison was extremely harmful to the forest.
Bear Lord often damaged trees and plants, but his destruction was purely physical, allowing the vegetation to regenerate quickly.
That was part of the natural cycle.
But poison was different.
It killed the land, turning everything into a barren wasteland.
"You, get the hell out of the forest!"
Bear Lord roared, his massive bear paws extending razor-sharp golden claws.
"Dark Gold Terror Claws!"
His claws slashed toward Bibi Dong, carrying a terrifying wind pressure that made her skirt flutter wildly.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Thorn Spider Armor!"
Bibi Dong spread her arms, and countless purple-black spikes covered every inch of her body.
The purple armor on her body thickened significantly.
With her soul armor strengthened, she was confident.
She rushed forward to meet Bear Lord's attack head-on.
No matter how powerful this 100,000-year soul beast was, it shouldn't be able to overpower her.
When Bear Lord's claws struck, he would definitely be pierced by her venomous spikes.
Bibi Dong planned to use this moment to take his soul ring!
However, what she expected didn't happen.
Instead of being injured by her Thorn Spider Armor, Bear Lord's massive claw directly cracked her armor!
"Hiss…"
Realizing the situation was wrong, Bibi Dong immediately flipped backward, retreating.
'This bear's claws actually broke through my soul skill armor!'
Now, there was no more doubt in her mind—this bear was not an ordinary 100,000-year soul beast.
Not only was its aura terrifying, but its strength was monstrous as well.
If she didn't get serious, she might not even be able to subdue it.
This bear was far more dangerous than she had expected.
A rare feeling of unease crept into Bibi Dong's heart.
Bear Lord, on the other hand, did not chase after her.
He glanced down at his claws, a rare expression of solemnity appearing on his face.
He could feel that this woman was not simple.
That attack just now was meant to break through her defense and injure her directly.
The extreme sharpness of his golden claws wasn't a joke.
But unexpectedly, all he managed was a minor crack.
At this moment, both Bibi Dong and Bear Lord were truly fighting in earnest.
Bibi Dong no longer cared that Xue Tianyu and the two Empresses were standing nearby.
She immediately activated her sixth soul ring.
"Sixth Soul Skill—Bloodsucking Spider Thorns!"
In an instant, countless void-like holes appeared around her, and tens of thousands of razor-sharp thorns, infused with the Death Spider Emperor's venom, shot out.
Seeing the incoming attack, Bear Lord didn't hesitate.
He activated his berserk state.
A crimson aura burst from his body, and his eyes turned blood-red.
His already massive body expanded even further.
A violent surge of soul power erupted from him, sending shockwaves through the entire Sunset Forest.
Seeing Bear Lord's energy rapidly rising, Bibi Dong had no intention of waiting for him to finish powering up.
With a delicate finger pointing at him, tens of thousands of venomous thorns shot forward.
"Roar!"
The giant bear roared.
With a tremendous leap, Bear Lord dodged the first wave of attacks.
Then, with his claws crossed in midair, he swung down forcefully.
"Dark Gold Terror Claws!!!"
Golden claw marks slashed toward Bibi Dong at lightning speed.
Bibi Dong instantly commanded the remaining venomous thorns to counterattack.
The entire Sunset Forest was filled with sharp, piercing explosions.
Xue Tianyu silently watched the battle between Bibi Dong and Bear Lord.
Neither he nor Xue Di or Bing Di intervened.
'Bibi Dong, you abandoned me. My revenge has only just begun.'
At this moment, as he watched the woman fighting fiercely, countless emotions surged through Xue Tianyu's heart.
He had been abandoned as an infant.
If not for Xue Di adopting him, he would have perished in the freezing, beast-infested Great Star Dou Forest despite his golden finger.
And the one who caused all of this…
Was Bibi Dong.
