------------------------------------------------------
A sudden, unexpected change occurred!
First, a streak of crimson lightning—charged with an aura of slaughter—flashed in Dai Chengfeng's right eye.
Then, without warning, an ink-black "light" that seemed capable of devouring all colors in existence erupted from within his body.
The air grew icy cold, and the overwhelming pressure unleashed by Bibi Dong was instantly obliterated by the power of the Asura.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, leaving no room for resistance.
"What is this?!"
Bibi Dong, who had been eagerly anticipating seeing the limits of Dai Chengfeng's strength, suddenly felt her pupils contract.
For the first time, her beautiful face revealed a look of shock.
In that fleeting moment, Bibi Dong clearly sensed that the overwhelming force she had directed at Dai Chengfeng had been abruptly "annihilated" by some kind of power.
And not only that…
The aura emanating from this power sent a chilling sensation coursing through Bibi Dong, even though she was a Title Douluo.
In that instant, an instinctive thought flashed through her mind—anyone touched by this power, even someone as powerful as herself, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, a Title Douluo, and the inheritor of the Rakshasa God's divine position, would inevitably suffer grave injuries.
This power existed solely for destruction, its purpose? To annihilate everything in its path!
"Have I… seen it somewhere before?"
At this moment, Bibi Dong's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with confusion as she gazed at Dai Chengfeng.
"It feels strangely familiar, somewhat like my Killing God Domain, but purer…"
Until—
"The Rakshasa God!"
Suddenly, the scene of when she had received the Rakshasa God's trial flashed through Bibi Dong's mind.
To her shock, she realized that the power Dai Chengfeng had just unleashed bore a striking resemblance to the divine power of the Rakshasa God.
Could it be divine power?!
Thinking about this possibility, Bibi Dong's eyes widened slightly, her gaze filled with disbelief and awe.
She wasn't even sure if it was just her imagination, but she had felt that the power Dai Chengfeng wielded seemed even purer and more extreme than the Rakshasa God's divine power!
"Could it be that Dai Chengfeng has also inherited a divine position?"
As she gazed at Dai Chengfeng, Bibi Dong's heart churned with turbulent thoughts.
However, she quickly shook her head, dismissing the idea.
Absolutely impossible!
Dai Chengfeng's current soul power was far too weak. At his current level, there was no way he could inherit a divine position.
Moreover, she hadn't detected any other spiritual consciousness within this power.
This meant that this power fully belonged to Dai Chengfeng himself.
Could it be that some god had recognized Dai Chengfeng's potential early on and bestowed upon him a sliver of divine power, intending to formally pass on their divine position once he grew stronger?
Thump, thump, thump…
Even with Bibi Dong's composure, her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably at the thought, her heart racing with excitement.
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!
Otherwise, how could a mere mortal like Dai Chengfeng possess power exclusive to the gods?
"This disciple… I absolutely must take him under my wing!"
At this moment, Bibi Dong's eyes burned with determination. "No matter the cost!"
But soon, she suddenly closed her eyes, her body radiating faint killing intent. "However, if he cannot understand my ambition to unify the continent due to his identity, he must be eliminated first!"
Meanwhile…
Although Dai Chengfeng had been fighting Hu Liena, his attention had almost entirely been focused on Bibi Dong from the very beginning.
He silently observed as Bibi Dong's expression shifted from confusion to suspicion, then to shock, and finally to burning intensity…
Success!
Dai Chengfeng let out a long sigh, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips. I knew you'd recognize the power of Asura, Bibi Dong!
A disciple with the potential to ascend to godhood…
How could you, the Pope with ambitions to unify the continent, resist being moved? Conveniently, I also have plans to unify the Douluo Continent. It's just a matter of who will ultimately become emperor…
"How dare you let your mind wander while fighting me?!"
Swish—
A flicker of anger flashed in Hu Liena's eyes as she unleashed a claw imbued with blazing foxfire, striking toward Dai Chengfeng's shoulder.
Dai Chengfeng still paid no attention, but his body seemed to move with prescient awareness, subtly shifting his shoulder to effortlessly dodge Hu Liena's lightning-fast strike.
Slap!
At the same time, his hand landed heavily on the back of Hu Liena's fair-skinned hand.
Hu Liena had intended to change tactics, but seeing this, she could only reluctantly withdraw her hand. She retreated while looking at Dai Chengfeng's vacant eyes with bewilderment. "How is this possible?"
"He was clearly distracted, yet he dodged my attack and even counterattacked?"
With a hint of confusion in her heart, Hu Liena launched another attack at Dai Chengfeng.
This time, her attack angles were even more intricate, and she kept a close watch on Dai Chengfeng's eyes…
But!
Soon, Hu Liena was shocked to discover that although Dai Chengfeng never looked at her, no matter how she angled her attacks, she couldn't touch him at all.
On the other hand, Dai Chengfeng managed to accurately slap her hand every single time.
Slap, slap, slap, slap—
Countless slaps echoed through the air, and by now, the back of Hu Liena's small hands had turned bright red and slightly swollen…
Damn you, Dai Chengfeng!
Do you have no sense of chivalry? Or do you think I'm not pretty enough?
Looking at Dai Chengfeng's emotionless face and then at her own reddened hand, tears welled up in Hu Liena's fox-like eyes, her expression pitiful.
…
In the towering and mysterious Hall of Spirit City,
A golden-haired "middle-aged" man dressed in simple attire stood quietly, exuding a calm and serene presence that was inexplicably comforting.
At this moment, a gentle smile graced his face.
Standing opposite him was a golden-haired girl—Qian Renxue.
"Xiao Xue, why did you suddenly return without giving me a heads-up? Grandpa could have gone to meet you."
Qian Daoliu's voice was warm and affectionate.
Seeing her grandfather, whom she hadn't seen in years, Qian Renxue's heart swelled with longing. She couldn't help but gently hug his arm and coquettishly said, "Grandpa, I just missed you and wanted to surprise you."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's smile grew even brighter, his eyes narrowing into slits with joy.
"A surprise, huh? Today is the happiest day Grandpa has had in years…"
As he spoke, he gently stroked the girl's golden hair, his tone filled with concern. "How's everything going for you in the Tian Dou Empire?"
"If things aren't going well, you don't have to go back."
Qian Renxue's face still radiated a smile. "Grandpa, everything's fine in the Tian Dou Empire. All the princes who could threaten my crown have been dealt with."
However, her tone suddenly shifted.
"By the way, Grandpa, do you know about Dai Chengfeng?"
"Dai Chengfeng?" Qian Daoliu's eyes widened slightly, his brows furrowing as he pondered for a moment. "You mean the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire that Yue Guan and Gui Mei brought back today?"
Qian Renxue quickly nodded, her eyes filled with urgency as she pressed further. "Grandpa, where is Dai Chengfeng now?"
"I think he's at the Pope's Palace."
Already at the Pope's Palace? Will he be alright? That woman…
Thinking this, worry flickered across Qian Renxue's eyes. "Grandpa, can you accompany me to the Pope's Palace? Please~"
So Xiao Xue came back because of that Dai Chengfeng?
Could it be that our little Xue'er has already started to blossom with feelings?!
Seeing the change in Qian Renxue's expression, Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly…
Dai Chengfeng?!
