Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Heavens

The grand Pope's Palace.

Silence reigned supreme.

All the Elders, Bishops, and the leader of the Knight Order stood frozen, as if struck by fear.

Qian Renxue faced Bibi Dong, mother and daughter sharing no warmth in their gazes, only mutual disgust and weariness.

On the steps.

The Great Enshrinement, Qian Daoliu, and the other six Enshrinements watched Bibi Dong with cold expressions, their silence exuding immense pressure.

Qian Renxue stated indifferently, "Since ancient times, the position of Saintess has only been held by the most talented within the Palace. Hu Liena does not yet possess this qualification."

Bibi Dong let out a scoff.

"Na'er's talent is among the best of the younger generation. Furthermore, she has returned from her trials in Slaughter City, obtaining the Slaughter God's Domain. How can she not be qualified?"

Without further ado, Qian Renxue directly released her Martial Soul.

The sacred Six-Winged Angel appeared behind Qian Renxue, hovering above the great hall. An extremely powerful Martial Soul pressure caused many Bishops and even Elders within the hall to tremble.

At the same time.

Nine Soul Rings floated behind Qian Renxue.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red!

The formidable pressure of a Titled Douluo, under Qian Renxue's deliberate control, swept towards Hu Liena, instantly turning her face pale.

The Slaughter God's Domain was unleashed.

The Demon Fox Martial Soul self-attached, but the six Soul Rings behind her, configured as yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, appeared so pale and powerless.

It wasn't until Bibi Dong forcefully struck the ground with her Gem Scepter that a surge of powerful Soul Power fluctuations blocked Qian Renxue's pressure.

Hu Liena finally breathed a sigh of relief, gasping for air, but her alluring face was filled with humiliation.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly.

"What, has my position as Pope become merely a name? Is it now your turn to bully my disciple!"

Qian Renxue said dismissively, "If you can't even withstand my pressure, then don't come here to embarrass yourself. Is this the level of the Pope's disciple?"

"Seeing how you cherish her, it seems she's not just your disciple, but more like your own daughter."

Bibi Dong retorted sarcastically, "Although Na'er is my disciple, we are as close as mother and daughter. If I were to have a daughter, she would be the only one in my life."

Qian Renxue's gaze turned even colder.

On the steps, Qian Daoliu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"Bibi Dong, Hu Liena is far inferior to Xue'er. She is the strongest of Spirit Hall's younger generation and should be the one to inherit the position of Saintess."

"As for you..."

"It's best not to make unreasonable demands."

With that said.

Qian Daoliu's Limit Douluo level pressure surged towards Bibi Dong like an overwhelming tide.

After all this talk.

Ultimately, it still came down to who had the greater power.

Bibi Dong let out a cold laugh, showing no fear. The ferocious, dark purple spider silhouette behind her unleashed its own Limit Douluo pressure, confronting Qian Daoliu head-on.

Whether it was Bibi Dong or Qian Daoliu, both had reached the pinnacle of human strength. Even the mere pressure emanating from them was something the Pope's Palace and the other Elders could not withstand.

Fortunately, both had achieved mastery in controlling their Soul Power and pressure, confining their respective pressures within a limited space.

The Elders could feel the terrifying aura, but they would not suffer any substantial harm.

After a long while.

Both simultaneously retracted their power.

Bibi Dong stood in place, unmoving.

But Qian Daoliu staggered back a step.

This scene stunned everyone present!

That was the Great Enshrinement, Qian Daoliu!

A formidable figure capable of clashing with Di Tian!

And one of the few Level 99 Limit Douluo powerhouses in this era!

What did Bibi Dong's ability to make Qian Daoliu falter signify?

His Holiness the Pope has also broken through the limit?

And stronger than the Great Enshrinement!

Even Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity.

Bibi Dong smiled and said:

"Great Enshrinement, when you get old, you should retire and enjoy your old age. Why trouble yourself? Leave the matters of the palace to the younger generation."

For a moment, all seven Enshrinements of the Spirit Hall glared at Bibi Dong.

Qian Daoliu felt a sense of urgency.

After all, Bibi Dong had gained influence!

He said calmly:

"You have finally reached this point, but Bibi Dong, that is no reason for you to be presumptuous! Xue'er is already a Titled Douluo at a young age. Who else but her deserves the position of Saintess?"

"Even you, at the same age, were far inferior to Xue'er now."

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, and she said coldly:

"I don't care about this monster's talent!"

"Hu Liena must be the Saintess!"

"No one can depose my disciple's Saintess position in front of me, Bibi Dong. If you insist on going your own way, I don't mind sinking this Spirit Hall!"

Qian Daoliu was furious.

"Bibi Dong! Are you trying to split my Spirit Hall?"

"From beginning to end, the Spirit Hall has treated you well! I have tolerated you time and time again. If you have any conscience left, stop now!"

Qian Daoliu's words were like sparks, instantly igniting the powder keg that was Bibi Dong.

She said sternly:

"Treated me well?"

"Qian Daoliu, how dare you say such a thing! You old curmudgeon, do you really think I can't kill you?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes were sharp as swords.

Without a word.

He took the Angel Holy Sword in his hand and swooped out into the sky outside the Pope's Palace. Bibi Dong, not to be outdone, followed suit, transforming into a stream of purple-black light.

Those inside the palace looked at each other.

They all felt it was absurd.

The two strongest powerhouses of the Spirit Hall.

Were they really going to fight?

No one knew the outcome of the battle.

All they knew was that half a day later, the Great Enshrinement Qian Daoliu returned first, announcing Qian Renxue's promotion to the position of Saintess of the Spirit Hall.

Just as everyone thought Qian Daoliu had won, Bibi Dong, covered in killing intent, also arrived, announcing that Hu Liena's status as Saintess would remain unchanged.

Then she left with Hu Liena.

The Great Enshrinement and the Pope left one after another, but before they departed, they each issued seemingly contradictory orders, posing a dilemma for the Elders and Bishops within the Pope's Palace.

Finally.

Someone suggested that since Qian Renxue was to be promoted to Saintess and Hu Liena was to retain her original Saintess position, why not have both?

The Spirit Hall could establish a dual-Saintess system, although this would inevitably exacerbate the division and conflict within the palace. However, this was already an unavoidable trend.

...

Hu Liena followed her teacher.

Her face was filled with humiliation and shame.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed you."

The gap between her and Qian Renxue put a lot of pressure on Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong gently stroked her head.

"Silly girl, that Qian Renxue has already inherited the God's Examination. How can you compare yourself to her?"

"Remember, Nana, your teacher will always be your strong backing."

Hu Liena's eyes welled up with tears.

At the same time.

A figure unconsciously appeared in her mind. When she felt helpless, she thought not only of Bibi Dong but also of the figure in white robes and a ghost mask from Slaughter City.

If only he were here.

Lin Yan.

Or perhaps... Lin Xiao?

Hu Liena wasn't a fool. After leaving Slaughter City, she had investigated and roughly guessed the true identity of the Ghost Face Flame Monarch.

It was Lin Xiao, the one who had shattered her pride at the Soul Master Competition. Yet, in Slaughter City, he had become her lifeline.

Hu Liena desperately tried to catch up.

But the harder she tried, the more she understood the gulf between herself and that kind of monster.

She refused to accept it
