Just as the two powerful attacks were about to land on the Dark Devilgod Tiger, the Light-Dark Angel didn't persist any longer.
She immediately threw Bibi Dong away into the distance and then fell into the black hole herself.
"Wait!" Bibi Dong cried out anxiously.
Her six-winged purple wings flapped behind her as she followed closely, disappearing into the black hole.
Boom!
A violent explosion accompanied by the Dark Devilgod Tiger's howl filled the air.
The black light surrounding its body shattered, and its body exploded into a cloud of gray blood mist, which was flung into the black hole.
Roar—
Only its lingering, unwilling cries echoed across the empty land.
The black shield that surrounded it was supposed to prevent this attack, but it had unexpectedly broken.
This was something Qian Renjue had anticipated, which is why he had ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to attack.
"Master!" Ah Yin's anxious voice sounded.
Ling Yuan and the others stood on the ground with strange, tense expressions.
"Where is His Highness the Holy Son? Did they disappear?!" Chrysanthemum Douluo, holding his delicate orchid-like fingers, pointed to the small black orb floating in the air.
——
Surrounded by eternal darkness, Bibi Dong felt her body floating weightlessly.
More strangely, her soul power was disappearing, and her mental power was being suppressed.
What kind of skill was this? The Light-Dark Angel disintegrated before her eyes and disappeared.
Bibi Dong's heart was filled with fear. She couldn't imagine what she would become if something happened to Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue. She fell into panic.
Suddenly, light returned, and she felt solid ground beneath her feet.
The sounds of Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue calling out to her from their childhood echoed in her ears, "Mom, Mom…"
Bibi Dong's mind became hazy, her eyes slightly red, sinking into sorrow and hatred.
But something felt off. The voices were wrong.
"Sister, look, Mom was so beautiful when she was young."
"Yeah, she's really cute."
"…"
Bibi Dong raised her face blankly, and the scene in front of her left her stunned.
Her children—who were now almost adults—had shrunk!
She remembered those faces, from when they were six, still so innocent.
She couldn't be mistaken; the trials in the Rakshasa's domain had etched their images in her memory.
"Mom!" Qian Renjue rushed toward Bibi Dong with his small arms outstretched.
"Jue…" Bibi Dong started to speak but immediately realized something was wrong with her own voice.
It was too soft… like the childish voices of Qian Renxue and her brother.
Thud!
As Bibi Dong hugged Qian Renjue, she nearly fell over.
That's when she finally realized something was very wrong—she had shrunk.
She was now the same height as her six-year-old children!
"Mom, you still smell like milk!" Qian Renjue said gleefully, rubbing his face against Bibi Dong's soft cheeks.
"Jue, Xiao Xue, what is going on?" Bibi Dong pushed Qian Renjue away, looking down at her petite body, small and fragile, just like when she was six years old.
"Mom, this is the skill's effect," Qian Renxue explained in her childish voice, pointing ahead with her small, delicate finger.
Roar
A young tiger's roar echoed around them.
Bibi Dong looked up in surprise and saw that they were standing in a massive arena.
It appeared to be circular and stretched endlessly. The sky was devoid of clouds, sun, or stars—only darkness, while the light emanated from the arena itself.
Following Qian Renxue's gesture, Bibi Dong saw the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
It had also shrunk, now only about thirty meters away, and its eyes were filled with fury.
It roared incessantly, no longer calm like before.
The once-mighty eight-meter-long tiger had lost its wings, and its tail had turned into an ordinary tiger's tail.
The fearsome Evil God Scorpion Hook was now pitifully small, with no energy fluctuations.
The tiger was now only one and a half meters long, looking more like a giant black cat.
"Xiao Xue, I'm your mother!" Bibi Dong suddenly cried out in her soft, childish voice, smacking away her children's tiny hands as they played with her chubby cheeks, her face trying to maintain a fierce dignity, though it looked adorably stern.
"Haha…" Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue burst into laughter.
Who could resist the sight of a six-year-old Bibi Dong?
With perfect coordination, the siblings pinched her cheeks again.
"Ah!" Bibi Dong's baby-like face flushed red as she issued a soft yet firm warning, "If you two don't behave, I'll punish you when we get out of here!"
"Haha…" Qian Renjue laughed as he hugged his now tiny mother, while Qian Renxue giggled uncontrollably.
Even in her two lifetimes, she had never seen Bibi Dong like this, her serious face now adorable
"Alright, Jue, let's deal with the big cat first," Qian Renxue said softly but firmly.
As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, a strange voice echoed from all directions: "Welcome to the Life and Death Arena."
"The match will only end when one side dies, allowing the victors to leave this space."
"Countdown: five, four, three, two, one."
"Begin!"
The message conveyed by the voice was enough for Bibi Dong and the others to understand the rules of this place.
They had to kill their opponent to escape!
However, Bibi Dong quickly realized she hadn't even awakened her martial spirit.
All her soul skills, soul bones, and even her soul tools were unusable!
There was no doubt that Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue were in the same situation.
"Xiao Xue, Jue, stand behind me!" Bibi Dong stepped forward with her tiny legs, raising her little fists, standing tall and firm in front of her children.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger, now a black cat, turned into a shadow and charged toward them, its red eyes flashing with malice.
It seemed to regard Bibi Dong and her children as already dead.
Clang!
Just as the tiger was about to attack, the sound of metal hitting the ground rang out.
The black cat stopped in its tracks.
"Jue, where did you get that huge sword?" Qian Renxue's surprised, soft voice sounded from behind Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong blinked her large eyes and looked back, seeing a three-foot-long sword lying on the ground.
"Sister, pick up the sword quickly. We need to protect Mom!" Qian Renjue urged with his childlike voice.
His system space didn't require soul power or mental strength, and luckily, it had some weapons inside.
"Alright!" Qian Renxue knelt down and picked up the long sword.
Having taken whale jelly as a child, her physical strength was greater than her mother's.
"Mom, here's the sword. Take it," Qian Renjue said as he handed the sword to a bewildered, younger version of Bibi Dong.
"And what about you, Jue?" Bibi Dong asked.
"I'll make do with something else," Qian Renjue replied casually, pulling out a spiked mace from his system space.
"…" Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue stood in stunned silence, staring at Qian Renjue.
"So casual…"
