"Roar—"
The Golden Dragon King let out a roar, but what responded to him were two other voices. One was slightly gentle, and the other was completely cold.
"Heaven-Shattering Earth-Destroying!"
The God of Destruction raised the Scepter of Destruction high in his hand, his blood-red eyes gradually turning deep purple. A massive ball of destruction light enveloped his body. The sky, originally occupied by black and white, was once again split with a touch of purple. A terrifying intent of destruction descended, turning a third of this divine domain into a forest of purple lightning in just an instant.
The appearance of the lightning forest caused every god and every surviving divine beast that sensed it to inexplicably give birth to feelings of despair and thoughts of destroying everything in their hearts.
When the aura of destruction in their hearts was drawn out thread by thread by the lightning forest, it converged towards the God of Destruction.
"Heaven! Shattering! Earth! Destroying!"
The lightning forest and the intent of destruction instantly merged into one, transforming into a giant deep purple light ball. The next second, a purple light soared into the sky. The condensed deep purple light ball took off, merging into the black and white dual swords the moment they combined, turning into three brilliant rays of light that completely enveloped the Golden Dragon King.
However, this was still not the end.
A massive ancient tree stood majestically, splitting the three-colored world once again, turning a corner of the east into a green world, a world of life. The giant Tree of Life, every branch and every leaf seemed to be narrating the meaning of life.
When the Goddess of Life appeared, resting her hands gently on the Tree of Life and stroking the seemingly rough yet textured trunk, a soft life aura immediately spread outward with her body as the center. The entire Tree of Life shone with an emerald luster once more, thoroughly awakening.
Branches stretched out, and leaves emitted a strong radiance. The rich, almost tangible life aura completely turned this place into an ocean of life.
Amidst slight tremors, thick branches extended one after another, and an intense life aura rose into the air. The entire great forest began to fluctuate because of its movement. Countless green light spots condensed towards its direction. A strong green light pierced through the void, fully displaying the power of life!
"Life! Force! Abundant! Vibrant!" (Sheng Ji Ang Ran)
The swords of Kindness and Evil crossed, and the powers of Life and Destruction intertwined. An unprecedented giant fear appeared in the Golden Dragon King's heart. At this moment, located at the center of the sword's edge, he felt as if all the dragon scales on his body were trembling. He felt as if his body was about to be split apart by the divine swords, and the sensation of death suddenly descended!
"Roar, roar, roar—"
He roared frantically, flapping his wings, wanting to escape with all his might. But at this moment, the entire God Realm seemed to be under the control of the laws of those four sword lights. Under the joint blockade of the four God Kings, how could he possibly escape?
"Since you dared to collude with a criminal, break the seal, leave the Forbidden Land of the Gods, and attempt to stir up a beast tide to endanger the safety of the God Realm and overturn the God Realm's rules, then today you shall be completely buried here!" The God of Destruction's cold voice exploded in the Golden Dragon King's ears!
He even added a sentence, implicitly defining Tang San's nature as a criminal.
Even though everyone present understood it, this time, not a single person refuted it, letting the label of "criminal" fall.
At this moment, the Golden Dragon King also felt a deep sense of regret.
But now, he had no regret medicine to take.
Hum—
In an instant, the four divine swords let out a sword hum!
Immediately after, black, white, purple, and green—four colors of light condensed together in the air. At this point, it had transformed into a giant four-colored great sword that appeared across the heavens, piercing the sky and earth! Displaying its sharpness to the fullest!
Rong Nianbing and the others who rushed over couldn't help but retreat three meters when they saw this scene, not daring to even have the thought of approaching.
And this sword strike before their eyes was called: the Sword of Three Realms Judgment!
Back then, after the Dragon God caused a great calamity in the God Realm, the five God Kings of the God Realm, reflecting on their painful experience and realizing that the God Kings lacked offensive means, researched and created together: the Sword of Three Realms Judgment, "based on the worlds of Kindness, Evil, and Asura, amplifying the powers of Life and Destruction."
Although the power of the Asura God was missing now, causing the power of Order and Judgment to be incomplete and unable to allow this move to reach its maximum effect, the combined force of four God Kings was still unimaginably powerful.
As the strongest joint skill unleashed by the four God Kings, this move of four swords merging into one had already grasped control of all the laws of the entire God Realm. Even the Dragon God back then would have to retreat in the face of such a sword strike, let alone the Golden Dragon King who only inherited physical strength.
Seeing this, the Golden Dragon King immediately fled after the four forces merged and failed to lock down the surrounding space. At present, he couldn't even produce the slightest thought of resisting; that was simply absolute suppression of power, absolute suppression of laws.
However, the four God Kings wouldn't give him a chance to escape.
After all, in their unified concept, as long as the Golden Dragon King broke the seal, it would be its death date. Because if a madman like the Golden Dragon King, who possessed little reason, was not eliminated, it would always be a hidden danger to the God Realm.
Anyway, the current Golden Dragon King, in the face of the Sword of Three Realms Judgment, wouldn't even have the chance to transform back into a dragon cocoon.
Coincidentally, his escape verified this point.
The Golden Dragon King desperately flapped its wings, fleeing in front, but its body seemed to be pulled by something, still being gradually approached by the Sword of Three Realms Judgment, drawing closer and closer.
Then, "Slash!"
The Sword of Three Realms Judgment fell.
"Roar—"
Feeling the sword edge on its back that was about to fall, a fierce and malicious aura suddenly flashed through its ruby-like eyes. It burned the blood essence all over its body, and then, abruptly, it actually turned around and charged straight towards the direction of the God Realm Committee!
Facing a life-and-death crisis, with no way to escape, the Golden Dragon King at this moment seemed to have achieved a sudden realization. A bright golden flame rose from its entire body. Directly burning its divine power, essence blood, and paying any price, it began an action of mutual destruction!
The massive golden figure actually shrank rapidly in the air. Moreover, accompanied by the shrinking of the Golden Dragon King's body, its speed actually became faster and faster, surprisingly preventing the Sword of Three Realms Judgment, which was being fully driven from behind, from catching up to it in the first instant.
"Where are you going!"
Seeing the direction the Golden Dragon King was fleeing, the God of Destruction and the others knew perfectly well in their hearts, how could they not see what he planned to do.
But the question was, would he make it in time?
However, the moment they chased out, clusters of golden clouds suddenly fell from the sky like a vast sea of clouds. Then, a golden halo, with its radiance blooming as if it wanted to pack heaven and earth into it, descended towards the seven Gods of Original Sin first.
Seeing this, the seven elemental gods found that the same golden clouds were surging towards them under the cover of the previous move.
On Rong Nianbing's side, just as he was about to warn them, suddenly, his whole body shook, and a massive force came from behind him. Caught off guard, he felt as if all the divine power in his body had been shaken apart. While his eyes showed disbelief, he, with rich combat experience, immediately made a defense. At this moment, a pair of terrifying giant hammers struck the back of his head with the speed of lightning, leaving no time to cover one's ears.
"Hating that heaven has no handle, hating that earth has no ring!" (A technique name)
Immediately after, a phoenix cry and a tiger roar rang out.
And the target was Rong Nianbing!
At the same time, the Golden Dragon King's side was also forced into a dead end.
"You gods all deserve to die!" The Golden Dragon King shouted madly, its angry dragon roar shaking the entire God Realm.
Perhaps, this was his last dying words.
At the hilt of the Sword of Three Realms Judgment, black, white, purple, and green four-colored light suddenly spewed backward, propelling the Sword of Three Realms Judgment to erupt suddenly, its speed instantly skyrocketing. In almost a flash, it arrived behind the Golden Dragon King, thoroughly slashing down!
"Asura! Save me!"
Puff—
Although the Golden Dragon King had shrunk, its still massive body suddenly paused in the air, freezing right there in mid-air.
The next instant, from the wound on its back, black, white, purple, and green four-colored light burst out from its back. Its huge body followed closely, beginning to constantly disintegrate amidst violent trembling.
"Roar—"
The Golden Dragon King suddenly let out a final roar from its mouth. From breaking the seal until now, it had only been about an hour. Its life was about to reach its end under the Sword of Three Realms Judgment. It was unwilling! Truly unwilling!
What about Asura!?
Where did Asura go!?
Holding this final resentment, and the last hope for survival, the Golden Dragon King opened its mouth wide, and a ball of golden light spewed out from its mouth. It was a brilliant golden crystal, the size of a fist. The crystal was rhombus-shaped, with raised intersecting edges, just like the Golden Dragon King's own scales, yet it contained extremely terrifying, vast divine power. And this was exactly the Golden Dragon King's divine core.
The moment the divine core left the Golden Dragon King's body, its ruby-like eyes instantly dimmed, leaving only viciousness.
Seeing this, the four God Kings in the sky all wanted to block that divine core, but they all swung at empty air. In that instant, the speed erupted by that golden light was truly too terrifying.
Just as the God of Destruction still wanted to make a move, "Whoosh—"
A golden ring happened to perfectly slip over this divine core. No matter how it had just dashed left and right, it was now completely imprisoned, motionless, steadily falling into a large hand.
The newcomer was shockingly Tang San.
"Tang San!"
Seeing him playing with the Golden Dragon King's divine core, the God of Destruction's tone was cold, questioning relentlessly without any mercy, "You first interfered in mortal affairs, recklessly tampered with the Douluo Plane's Plane Spirit and Core of Life, and used your power for personal gain. Then you secretly released the Golden Dragon King, breaking the seal of the Forbidden Land of the Gods, causing chaos in the God Realm. What crime should you be punished for!?"
The God of Destruction's questioning caused the other three God Kings to step forward together. The auras of the four God Kings linked up together, pressuring Tang San.
However, Tang San's tone appeared dismissive.
"Destruction, do you have evidence for that last one? Furthermore..."
His gaze swept over the four God Kings who had used the Sword of Three Realms Judgment and were thus heavily consumed, "Everything is spoken by victory. Do you guys still have the certainty of victory now?"
Tang San's core forces were well-known to be not considered strong. So even if the four God Kings were over-consumed, they still had an eighty percent chance of winning against Tang San's forces. But he was so secure in his confidence, looking as if he held some trump card in his hand.
However, facing this situation, the God of Destruction still didn't say a word. The rich purple-black clouds around him flickered, and purple lightning hovered, all indicating that he was ready to strike at any time.
But just at this time, seven figures walked out from behind Tang San one by one. At the same time, beside them, there were eight bound figures whose cultivations had been sealed. They were shockingly the seven Gods of Original Sin, as well as the God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing.
When the God of Destruction saw the familiar figures beside Tang San, the seven elemental gods also rushed over looking slightly disheveled. At the same time, the God of Fire's voice arrived a step earlier, "God King of Destruction! The Sea God sneak-attacked the Seven Original Sins, and the Strength God also helped Tang San attack the God of Emotions! Resulting in them all being captured!"
"Strength God!"
The God of Destruction roared in anger. He couldn't for the life of him believe that his trusted subordinate had actually turned to Tang San. It was simply unacceptable to him. But the facts had already happened, placed right before his eyes so nakedly, leaving him no choice but to believe it.
"Why!?"
The God of Destruction's eyes looked as if they were about to spew fire. These three words were questioned through gritted teeth from his mouth, staring fixedly at the Strength God, covered head to toe in silver armor, not far behind Tang San.
Under the God of Destruction's stern questioning, the Strength God took off his helmet, revealing a handsome and young face.
"I'm sorry, God of Destruction." He bowed slightly to the God of Destruction in apology, and his eyes also showed apology and shame.
The God of Destruction's gaze was cold, adding a bit of confusion.
"Tell me, why? Was I not good enough to you? Why would you choose a criminal like Tang San who endangers the God Realm!?"
At this, the Strength God became even more ashamed.
He lowered his head even more. "Ever since I entered the God Realm, you have shown me great care and affection, helping me grow quickly and adapt to life in the God Realm. You were very good to me. I am also very grateful to you. But..." Reaching this point, a bit of pain revealed itself on his face.
"Senior Tang San's grace to me is as heavy as a mountain. Back then, when I was still in the mortal realm, facing a powerful enemy, I was already unable to contend. Just as I was about to be completely destroyed by the enemy, at that time, it was Senior Tang San who descended from the God Realm to my plane, helping me eliminate the great enemy. Not only did he save me, but he also saved my family. At that time, Senior Tang San even invited me to enter the God Realm and was willing to pass down his Asura God's divine throne to me. It's just that, in the end, I refused. So now that Senior Tang San is in trouble, I must repay his kindness. Even if I have let you down!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the gods present were stunned.
No one expected there to be so many things involved in this.
"Good, good, good!"
The God of Destruction suddenly laughed out of sheer anger!
He looked at the hostages in Tang San's hands... With the Strength God, not only had his forces become stronger, but now he also wanted to make them hold back out of fear of causing collateral damage.
At this moment, a fierce light was fully exposed in the God of Destruction's eyes.
"You didn't just let me down!"
The Strength God seemed to turn a deaf ear, only being sincerely earnest.
"God of Destruction, please forgive me for not being able to be loyal and filial at the same time!"
But just at this time, "What is there to say to him!"
A voice suddenly exploded, and a magnificent sword light descended from the sky!
"Gods and Demons All Severed!"
