[Star Luo Empire.]
[South of the Star Luo Province, Huwei Pass.]
[This towering, majestic pass stands at the throat of the southern part of Star Luo Province, known along with Saint King Pass, Tiger Fury Pass, and Tiger Roar Pass as the "Three Mountains and Four Passes," one of the four major barriers guarding the Star Luo Imperial City.]
[No matter which of the four passes is breached.]
[The enemy army could drive straight in, their blades pointing directly at the Star Luo Imperial City, leaving no more strategic positions to defend!]
[At this moment, outside Huwei Pass, the sounds of battle were deafening.]
[Bibi Dong personally sat in command of the center army, her purple-black eyes coldly watching the pass in the distance.]
[At the very front of her army, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Devil Bear Douluo were leading the Spirit Empire's coalition forces and the Spirit Hall Spirit Master legions, launching a new wave of fierce attacks.]
[However, as one of the most important passes guarding the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire, Huwei Pass was hundreds of meters high, with city walls over fifty meters wide, constructed entirely of solid granite.]
[Its defensive power was far stronger than the Zhenhu Pass of the Balak Kingdom.]
[What was even more critical was that after Dai Tianfeng learned that the Spirit Empire had turned to attack Star Luo, he personally led the expedition and sat in command at Huwei Pass.]
[The experts of the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Nether Grand Dukes Mansion had all come out in full force, and with the addition of the Clear Sky Sect Sect Master Tang Xiao, who also brought a group of Clear Sky Sect experts to support, the defensive power of Huwei Pass was unprecedentedly strong.]
[The Spirit Empire's coalition forces charged again and again, only to be beaten back each time.]
[On the city walls, rolling logs and stones fell like raindrops, while the light of arrows and Spirit Abilities wove into a net of death.]
[Those soldiers who finally managed to rush to the foot of the city wall were either doused with boiling oil or crushed into meat paste by huge stones.]
[Occasionally, a few powerful Spirit Masters would forcibly charge onto the city wall, only to be surrounded by the experts of the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Clear Sky Sect, and were slaughtered in no time.]
[Watching the casualty reports coming from the front line, Bibi Dong's face was so gloomy that water could almost drip from it. She couldn't help but grip the popes scepter in her hand tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, and she gritted her teeth and said.]
["Damn it! If it weren't for that Tang Chuan sending the Clear Sky Sect to support, and sending people to lead troops to feign an attack on our Spirit City, forcing me to send the Holy Dragon Douluo and Spirit Kite Douluo to lead troops back for reinforcements."]
["This Huwei Pass might have been taken long ago!"]
["This Tang Chuan deserves to die ten thousand times!!"]
[But since things had come to this, Bibi Dong could only take a deep breath, and after calming down, she was about to order the retreat, preparing to organize the next attack.]
[Suddenly, as if sensing something, Bibi Dong abruptly looked up and glanced back.]
[It wasn't just Bibi Dong.]
[Everyone on the battlefield felt an unusual aura at this moment.]
[They saw in the distant sky, a round of golden light as dazzling as the great sun approaching at an astonishing speed.]
[The light grew brighter and more scorching, as if a real sun were falling from the sky to the human world.]
[And below that golden light, an army of several thousand people was also charging forward in a grand manner, with distinct flags, neatly arranged, emitting a powerful pressure of spirit power, as well as the killing aura of battle-hardened elites.]
[Before that golden light, like a great sun, could even reach the battlefield, a terrifying aura of light and Divinity had already swept over.]
[At the same time, there was also a terrifying Divine Might, coming like a tidal wave, as if an invisible giant hand were gripping everyone's throat, making it almost impossible to breathe.]
[Whether it was the Star Luo defenders on Huwei Pass or the Spirit Empire coalition forces below the pass, everyone felt a tremor from the depths of their Souls at this moment.]
[That was the instinctive fear and submission of lower life forms facing a higher life form.]
[The golden light, like a great sun, stopped above the Spirit Empire's military camp.]
[The light slowly converged, revealing a stunning figure wearing golden divine armor, with three pairs of magnificent golden wings spread on her back.]
[She held the Angelic Sacred Sword, and ten spirit rings—six black, three red, and one gold—circled around her body.]
[That last golden spirit ring exuded a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a hundred thousand year spirit ring.]
[That was a spirit ring belonging to a Divinity!]
[High above, Qian Renxue looked down at the military camp below. On that exquisite, beautiful, sacred, and noble face, a pair of golden eyes were filled with indifference. A cold and majestic voice came from high in the sky, resounding across the entire field.]
["Bibi Dong!"]
["As the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall and the Empress of the Spirit Empire, you led the imperial coalition and the Spirit Hall Spirit Master legions on an expedition, yet you have failed to achieve a decisive victory."]
["The Balak Kingdom and the Kingdom of Sylves were annexed by Tang Chuan and the Heaven Dou Empire, and other kingdoms and duchies in the south of the Heaven Dou Empire are also in danger."]
["And here on the side of the Star Luo Empire, you have led the army for a long time without success, unable to even break through a single Huwei Pass."]
["Such performance makes you unworthy of being the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, and unworthy of being the Empress of the Spirit Empire any longer."]
["I announce in the name of the new generation of Angel God that effective immediately, you are relieved of your positions as Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall and Empress of the Spirit Empire."]
["I order you to return to Spirit City immediately."]
["From now on, the positions of Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall and Empress of the Spirit Empire will be held by me!"]
[Qian Renxue's voice was filled with indifference, carrying an unquestionable Divinity and majesty.]
["I will, in the name of God, lead the Spirit Empire to sweep across the continent and achieve a truly glorious victory!"]
[Once these words were spoken, the entire battlefield fell into a dead silence.]
[Whether it was the soldiers of the Spirit Empire or the Star Luo defenders on Huwei Pass, everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.]
[They stared blankly at the figure bathed in golden divine light in the sky, their minds going blank.]
[And upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Bibi Dong's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. She stared fixedly at Qian Renxue in the high sky, her purple-black eyes churning with anger, humiliation, unwillingness, and a trace of complexity.]
[After a long silence, Bibi Dong finally laughed out of anger.]
["Haha... Good! Very good! Very good, Qian Renxue!"]
[After laughing in anger, Bibi Dong's face was gloomy. She suddenly waved her sleeve, gritting her teeth and saying.]
["Then I would like to see how you lead the Spirit Empire to victory!"]
[Although Bibi Dong had sensed it when Qian Renxue became a god.]
[But Bibi Dong did not expect that after becoming a god, Qian Renxue would come directly to challenge her!]
[However, now that she herself had not yet become a god, Bibi Dong chose to endure, turned around, and flew into the air, quickly disappearing into the horizon.]
[Qian Renxue watched Bibi Dong leave, her face devoid of any expression. She just slowly turned around, facing Huwei Pass, a cold light flashing in her golden eyes.]
[On the city tower of Huwei Pass.]
[Looking at the figure bathed in golden divine light high in the sky, looking at the ten spirit rings—six black, three red, and one gold—circling around her body, and feeling that suffocating, terrifying Divine Might, only despair remained in Dai Tianfeng's eyes.]
["God... Divinity?"]
[Dai Tianfeng's voice was full of despair and trembling, squeezed out almost from his throat.]
["My Star Luo Empire's foundation of over two thousand years... is it going to perish in my, Dai Tianfeng's, hands?!"]
