Although Hei Yu was not afraid of the God of Destruction before him, the sudden burst of blood-red divine light made him feel a death crisis, comparable to the last strike of celestial thunder.
As the death crisis descended, Hei Yu laughed wildly: "Hahaha… Celestial Tribulation, God, come on! Why should my Apocalypse fear you!"
Boom boom boom!!
With a howling swing, the dragon's tail swept towards the celestial thunder, and the dragon's mouth roared, condensing a black terror energy ball and shooting it out.
Explosion after explosion, the Destruction Divine Light stalled, and the energy ball burst open, engulfed by the blood light.
The blood light swept over Hei Yu's ten-thousand-meter-long dragon body, causing him to let out a muffled groan of pain, but his terrifying willpower kept him from crying out in agony.
The celestial thunder and the Destruction Divine Light turned Hei Yu's dragon body from black to blood red, stained with fresh blood.
At this moment, Ye Yu watched this scene with clenched fists, helpless, wishing he could return to that time so he could help his father, even though he was weak in this situation, any support would be good.
Hei Yu fell, crashing into the ground, causing the entire Xingdou Great Forest to shake, with the ground cracking apart and trees collapsing over an area of ten thousand meters.
In the sky, the celestial thunder was not yet finished. The God of Destruction gazed down at the Apocalypse Black Dragon on the ground with surprise: "Still not dead, your life energy is indeed strong. No wonder it's the Origin of Evil. Among the three great origins, its destructive power and life energy exceed even my Origin of Destruction and the Origin of Creation. Let's see how long you can hold out!"
Hei Yu's dragon body shrank, gradually transforming into a dragon person form.
Hei Yu staggered to his feet. Even though he was grievously wounded, he would not allow himself to fall, standing straight and firm.
Rumble!!
The celestial thunder descended; at the same time, the God of Destruction turned into a streak of red light, diving down, with a blood-red, ferocious tiger claw pounding down.
Hei Yu raised his dragon arm, the left dragon claw blocking the celestial thunder, while the right dragon claw struck towards the God of Destruction.
Boom!!
The ground caved in, with Hei Yu plummeting a thousand meters into the ground; his left arm was covered in scorched marks, smoking, while his right arm bled profusely.
Hei Yu didn't pause, charging upwards, defending against the celestial thunder while battling the God of Destruction.
The God of Destruction was shocked, as the strength of the Apocalypse Black Dragon exceeded his imagination.
"It's a good thing I did this. If you became a god, it wouldn't bear thinking about."
Boom boom boom...
The battle continued, though Hei Yu could barely hold on, a belief supporting him to not fall — his wife and children.
The Titled Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall quickly retreated, as Qian Xunji carried the fainted Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu carried Ju Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the other Titled Douluo carried Soul Douluo.
As for the Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, they were already dead and couldn't be taken away, perished into void during the bombardment.
Initially, the power of the celestial thunder only acted on Hei Yu, but now with the God of Destruction's attacks spreading, they couldn't get close; this was a battle of gods.
The God of Destruction felt increasingly burdened, knowing his avatar could not hold much longer and would soon dissipate, but the Apocalypse Black Dragon just wouldn't die.
Hei Yu was repeatedly blasted away, yet each time he viciously charged again, darkening his opponent's expression.
At this moment, a shout echoed from afar.
"Black Dragon! Look at who this is! Your wife and children!"
Qian Xunji's loud shout echoed from afar, and hearing this, Hei Yu's expression stiffened.
Hei Yu turned to look, his pupils contracted, and he burst into a rage.
"Damn it!!"
His wife and child were his reverse scale; to touch them was death, and his overwhelming anger erupted, with the Origin of Evil becoming even more violent, its terrifying aura making even the God of Destruction's heart shudder.
Swoosh!
Hei Yu charged directly towards Qian Xunji, and the Titled Douluos, like Qian Daoliu, were naturally terrified and limped away quickly but knew they would surely die without resistance.
They readied themselves, and Qian Xunji was also in a panic.
"Get any closer, and she dies!"
Qian Xunji's low shout came, with Ye Lengqiu holding a dagger against Ye Yuqing's lower back.
Hei Yu's fury triggered even the potential of the Origin of Evil that he had not fully mastered, allowing him to use the Realm of Apocalypse once again.
Black energy surged out, instantly spreading over, and while Ye Lengqiu and Qian Xunji wanted to act, it was too late.
The God of Destruction gave a cold snort, with blood energy surging around him and quickly spreading out.
"Destruction Domain!"
Blood light swept out, clashing with the black energy, in a stalemate, causing the Realm of Apocalypse to halt before Qian Xunji and others. Though they were not affected, they were already paralyzed.
Earlier, Ye Lengqiu brought Ye Yuqing, with Titled Douluo from the Martial Soul Hall escorting Ye Yuqing, and Ye Lengqiu standing behind Ye Yuqing with a dagger pressed against her back. On both sides were two Soul Douluo from the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect.
With such a protective formation, Ye Lengqiu thought nothing would happen, but the previous aura made her instantly feel a death crisis; at the same time, the dagger moved forward, and she thought it was too late.
She hadn't expected this Black Dragon to be so terrifying, but fortunately, the black energy was blocked.
Ye Lengqiu's dagger stabbed gently forward, tearing Ye Yuqing's back garment and skin, a trickle of blood oozing out.
Qian Xunji said in a deep voice: "Move forward any more, and this dagger will pierce through her body. Your child will die!"
With the Realm of Apocalypse blocked by the God of Destruction's Destruction Domain, Hei Yu was beyond furious, his ferocious expression terrifying even the Titled Douluos of the Martial Soul Hall and Ye Lengqiu, filling them with fear. It was too dreadful.
Hei Yu's figure halted, and the God of Destruction seized the opportunity to attack. With his mind full of thoughts of Ye Yuqing, Hei Yu could not react in time. Even though he turned quickly, he hadn't fully charged his strength, and with a roar, he fell to the ground.
In the sky, the God of Destruction sneered: "You, the mighty, were once invincible, without weakness, but now you have one."
Hei Yu's face was extremely ferocious, and he growled coldly: "If any harm befalls my wife and children, you will all die!!"
The moment the word "die" was uttered, even the God of Destruction shuddered slightly, and the likes of Qian Xunji and others were terrified, nearly collapsing.
At this time, Ye Yuqing gradually awakened, watching the scene before her, nervous and worried: "Yu…"
Seeing Hei Yu's blood-soaked form, Ye Yuqing was anxious and worried, wanting to help Hei Yu heal but was held down by the Black-robed Bishop, unable to move.
"I'm fine, how are you?" Hei Yu asked with concern.
Ye Yuqing shook her head, tears sliding down, knowing the unimaginable pain he must be enduring.
The celestial thunder struck, and Hei Yu prepared to counterattack, but the God of Destruction flickered in front of Ye Yuqing, extending a blood claw.
"If you resist, she dies."
Instantly, Hei Yu's pupils shrank.
At the same time, the celestial thunder struck, but Hei Yu did not defend, with the celestial thunder blasting upon him, blood splattering.
"Yu!!" Ye Yuqing's expression changed dramatically, crying out in shock, hating her own helplessness.
Divine Thunder struck, with Hei Yu staggering to his feet, hiding his pain, and giving Ye Yuqing a slight smile: "Don't cry, I'm fine."
The God of Destruction frowned: "Truly resilient."
The remaining celestial thunder could still bombard for ten more minutes. Hei Yu could only endure, not resist.
The God of Destruction sneered inwardly: "You will surely die!"
Celestial thunder bombarded, with Hei Yu growing increasingly weak. The God of Destruction moved in an instant, turning into a blood light, speeding to Hei Yu's head, and transforming into a giant blood tiger, with its paw slamming down.
Hei Yu was so weakened that he couldn't even muster a counterattack, being oppressed into immobility.
The God of Destruction commanded in a deep voice: "Kill his wife and children!"
With the god's command, Ye Lengqiu, who previously intended only to follow Qian Xunji's orders, viciously thrust forward with her right hand.
"Ah Qing!!"
Hei Yu's pupils contracted instantly, roaring, with the Origin of Evil erupting from within him, exploding outward!
The God of Destruction's expression changed dramatically, revealing fear: "Self-destructing the Origin?!!"
