Douluo: I, the Sun God

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, summoned her Angel Sacred Sword, attempting to break through this Sun Realm. However, each time she approached the boundary, she was repelled by a powerful force.

Xu Yang watched their struggle, a cold sneer on his face: "In my Sun Realm, how much longer can you last?"

As he spoke, he once again activated the power of the Sun Realm, causing the movements of the stars to intensify and the energy torrents to grow even more violent. Under the impact of this power, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue gradually felt their strength waning, their bodies on the verge of collapse.

"Sun Judgment!"

Xu Yang raised the Sun Sacred Blade in his hand. All the Sun power within the Sun Realm was drawn into the blade, concentrating on its edge. The Sun Sacred Blade, originally an external Spirit Bone, had a very simple Spirit Ability: condense Spirit Power into blade qi — the more energy condensed, the stronger the blade's destructive force.

After Xu Yang became a God, the Sun Sacred Blade underwent a full transformation, becoming a God Tool, and its Spirit Ability evolved into a God Skill. Although the skill effect remained the same, the blade qi condensed from that same energy was now a hundred times more powerful. Currently, Xu Yang was channeling all the Sun power from his projected small world into the Sun Sacred Blade, using the transformed God Skill—Sun Judgment, derived from Asura Judgment. The power of this slash was truly apocalyptic.

As the blade fell, a massive golden-red pillar of light formed entirely of condensed Sun power descended from the heavens — a divine trial aimed at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Contained within this pillar was not only the purification and incineration rules of the Sun's authority, but also boundless, razor-sharp blade qi.

Within Xu Yang's small world, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were unable to evade the killing blow. Under the pillar of light, their movements slowed drastically, and their internal God Power melted away rapidly under the dual rules of purification and incineration.

Unable to activate their God Power, they could only rely on God Armor and physical endurance to resist the ceaseless cutting blade qi. Deep, bone-baring wounds appeared across their bodies, golden and purple-black blood splashing through the air.

Just as the two were about to be sliced to pieces by the blade qi, Bibi Dong suddenly burst forth with God Power, throwing herself over Qian Renxue to shield her from the endless storm of blade qi.

"What are you doing?! Bibi Dong, get out of the way!" Qian Renxue screamed in anguish. Although she had already learned the truth from Qian Daoliu — that Bibi Dong had become what she was because of Qian Xunji — that didn't mean she had accepted her. She merely understood the cause of Bibi Dong's hatred.

Her childhood pain and Bibi Dong's indifference had made her incapable of forgiveness.

But what Bibi Dong was doing now left her utterly confused.

"Xue'er, live on! I've already lost Nana… I can't lose you too!"

On the brink of death, Bibi Dong's gaze was crystal clear. She looked at Qian Renxue with kindness and determination, doing everything she could to shield her from the judgment blade qi.

"Go away! I don't need your protection!" Qian Renxue cried helplessly — and as she cried, her tears finally spilled. From childhood to now, this was the first time she had ever felt love from Bibi Dong.

Second by second, time passed. Bibi Dong's God Armor had long been shattered by the blade qi. Even her back had faded to near-transparency, revealing her stark white bones. Through the cracks in her ribs, one could even see her beating God Heart.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was relying solely on sheer willpower and the remaining God Power extracted from her God Heart to resist the onslaught.

"Puchi!"

Suddenly, a blade qi tore through the Rakshasa God Power, slicing into her God Heart. Bibi Dong frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood directly onto Qian Renxue's face.

"Xu Yang, stop! If you let me and Bibi Dong go, I'll do anything you ask?!" Qian Renxue could no longer bear it. She screamed skyward with desperation, begging Xu Yang to stop. If this continued, Bibi Dong really would die.

"Qian Renxue, are you kidding me? You think I'd let my enemies live?" Xu Yang didn't stop. On the contrary, he used his small world projection to continuously draw energy from the star beyond Douluo Star, further intensifying the assault.

Puchi! Puchi!

Two more wounds appeared on Bibi Dong's God Heart. Moreover, because Sun God Power counters Rakshasa God Power, these strikes damaged her very God Soul.

"You don't need to say anything else. You're already a God, aren't you? You should have ways to enslave someone. If you're willing to let Bibi Dong live, I'll let you do whatever you want to me — I won't resist!" Qian Renxue's three pairs of golden wings flared open behind her, attempting to shield Bibi Dong.

But Bibi Dong wouldn't allow it. Every time her wings unfolded, Bibi Dong would forcibly push them down. She wanted Qian Renxue to preserve her strength. Once Xu Yang's attack exhausted itself, she'd have the power to escape — and the farther, the better.

"Oath!"

At those words, Xu Yang suddenly felt the Oath authority resonate in his mind. God Authority often overlaps. For example, because of its light attribute, the Angel God held a portion of the Sun's authority. The Oath authority, likewise, belonged to the rules of light. Since the sun governs light, Xu Yang had access to part of that authority as well.

The Oath authority had two powers: One, it allowed the user to temporarily boost strength, agility, flame damage, or holy damage through the force of a vow. The second was the contract — a binding pact formed with the authority's power, engraved deep into the soul. Once formed, not even a God King could break it.

Xu Yang's mind stirred, and he slightly weakened his attacks.

He looked at Qian Renxue coldly and said, "Fine. I can sign a contract with you. Swear eternal loyalty to me — no betrayal, ever. Do everything I command. If you can do that, I'll let Bibi Dong live."

Without hesitation, Qian Renxue nodded: "I swear — if I break this vow, let the laws of heaven and earth punish me."

As her words fell, the Oath authority activated. A flash of light passed, and the contract was formed. Xu Yang dissipated the Sun Realm. Bibi Dong collapsed into Qian Renxue's arms, her aura faint and dying.

Qian Renxue held Bibi Dong tightly, her face filled with concern. She looked at Xu Yang, eyes complex and conflicted.

Xu Yang extended a hand. Dense Sun God Light and Asura God Light gathered in his palm, forming a six-pointed star array of gold and red. With a gentle flick, it embedded itself into Bibi Dong's God Heart.

It was a curse mark, forged by Xu Yang using the Sun's authority and a portion of Asura authority. Once imprinted, that person's life and death would be completely under his control.

Qian Renxue did not stop him — she understood Xu Yang could never leave a God-level enemy alive without precautions.

Having done all this, Xu Yang sneered coldly: "Remember your oath. And keep Bibi Dong under control. If she steps out of line—just one thought from me, and her God Soul will be annihilated."
