The next instant, a blurry, blood-red figure appeared silently between Tang San and Yu Tianquan. It was as if he had always been there, or as if he had been created out of thin air. His face was indistinct, but one could sense the ultimate will that transcended all living beings, wielding the power of slaughter and judgment— the Asura God King!

The Asura God King didn't even glance at Yu Tianquan. He simply raised a finger and flicked it lightly at the tip of the Myriad Laws Dragon Spear, which was right in front of him.

Bite--!

A crisp, clear sound rang out, seemingly echoing deep within the soul!

Yu Tianquan felt an indescribable force traveling through the gun. It was not a pure energy impact, but rather a "negation" and "judgment" containing a higher level of law!

The power of "Myriad Laws Return to Ruins" that he had gathered was instantly melted and disintegrated like ice and snow under the sun with this gentle flick! Along with him, he was pushed backward thousands of meters by an irresistible force, his Blood Essence churning and his Divine Spark trembling slightly!

After doing all this, the Asura God King seemed to have merely brushed away a speck of dust. He looked down at Tang San, who was on the verge of death and Divine Soul was about to dissipate completely, and his blood-red eyes flashed slightly.

"Useless." A cold assessment, like a verdict, yet carrying a hint of... helplessness?

He said nothing more, casually rolling up his sleeve. A gentle, crimson Divine Power enveloped Tang San's mangled body, forcibly gathering and sealing his shattered heart, scattered fragments of his Divine Soul, and his extremely unstable Rakshasa God Position Divine Power.

The next moment, a Dark Red Small Cauldron with an ancient design, neither gold nor jade, appeared out of thin air. The mouth of the cauldron generated a suction force, which pulled Tang San and the blood-red light sphere that enveloped him into it.

The dark red cauldron flashed slightly before disappearing into the Asura God King's sleeve. Clearly, this was a special storage artifact capable of containing and even nurturing God Level being.

Time seemed to stand still above the City of Slaughter.

The figure of the Asura God King was shrouded in endless crimson divine light, his face blurred. Only his eyes, which seemed to contain the Cosmic Birth and Death and control the end of slaughter, coldly stared down. He knew that now that he had entered the arena, Yu Yuanchen would not let him leave easily.

He merely stood there, yet the laws flowing around him caused space to constantly annihilate and regenerate. His vast Divine Might was almost tangible, pressing down on all living beings within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Ye Zhilan, Bo Saixi, five Federation Spirit-level Expert, stood side by side, their divine light swirling, jointly resisting the overwhelming pressure of the God King. The atmosphere was tense, and a great battle was about to break out.

Yu Yuanchen stepped forward, his robes fluttering even without wind. His face perfectly displayed a mixture of shock, anger, and righteous indignation. His voice, like rolling thunder, echoed across the land, "Asura! You are a God King, in charge of judgment, yet you openly protect this demon who has slaughtered thousands of innocents and whose sins are immeasurable?! You disregard the laws of the Divine Realm and treat the lives of all beings as worthless! What face do you have left to call yourself God King?!"

His words were addressed not only to the Asura God King, but also to other members of the God Realm Committee who might be watching this place from the shadows, and to the billions of living beings on the Douluo Continent. Maintaining a righteous cause was of paramount importance.

The Asura God King remained silent, his blood-red eyes flickering slightly. He naturally saw that Yu Yuanchen was putting on an act, but he was indeed in the wrong for saving Tang San. However, Tang San was a crucial pawn in his subsequent plans, and he could not afford to lose him.

At this point, making excuses would only make things worse. Besides, he could tell that Yu Yuanchen probably already had some idea of his plans.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Yu Yuanchen sneered inwardly, but his anger intensified on his face. He said to the four people beside him in a deep voice, "Brother Qian, you all back me up! Today, I will personally meet this Asura God King and experience the strength of the number one warrior in the Divine Realm!"

Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and the others looked solemn and nodded slightly. They understood Yu Yuanchen's plan. The Asura God King was a veteran God King who had been famous for countless years, and his strength was unfathomable.

Although they have become gods, it has only been a short time, and the gap between them and the God King is like an insurmountable chasm. If they all rush in and use their numerical advantage to help Yu Yuanchen, they might be able to decide the outcome in a short time. However, if the Asura God King fights desperately, there is a high possibility that some of them will be injured or killed!

This was something Yu Yuanchen absolutely did not want to see. Moreover, Yu Yuanchen believed that his strength was definitely not weaker than Asura's, and he also knew that after this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the conflict between him and Asura was irreconcilable.

It wasn't that the two of them had any deep-seated hatred, but rather that Yu Yuanchen was blocking Asura's path. Similarly, Asura's schemes posed a significant threat to Yu Yuanchen, and if he won, he didn't want Asura to escape.

"Brother Yu (Brother Yuanchen), be careful!" the four of them shouted in unison, secretly channeling their Divine Power to lock onto the void, preventing the Asura God King from suddenly attacking Douluo Planet or having other accomplices.

"Asura! We can't fight freely here. Do you dare to fight in the starry sky?!" Yu Yuanchen roared, his figure transforming into a chaotic stream of light, soaring into the sky, directly breaking through the atmosphere, and rushing into the boundless deep space of the universe! He wanted to pull the battlefield away from Douluo Planet to avoid his home planet being affected.

A flicker of emotion flashed in the Asura God King's blood-red eyes, seemingly surprised by Yu Yuanchen's "recklessness." However, he remained silent, his figure swaying slightly before disappearing from his original spot. The next instant, he appeared as if by Instantaneous Movement in the distant sea of stars, facing Yu Yuanchen from afar. The cocoon of light enveloping Tang San also appeared beside him.

The two stood in the void, with a slowly rotating nebula beneath their feet and ancient, shimmering stars in the distance. This desolate universe became the stage for the war between the God King.

Without any unnecessary words, the battle erupted instantly!

The Asura God King pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly slashed at Yu Yuanchen.

"The Sword of Judgment"

A thin, blood-red thread silently sliced through space, ignoring distance, and appeared directly in front of Yu Yuanchen's brow! This was not an energy attack, but a manifestation of the Slaughter Law, containing the final judgment on all living beings. Once struck, even the Divine Soul would be marked and judged!

Yu Yuanchen's pupils contracted slightly, not daring to be careless. His opponent's first move was an attack at the level of laws; the veteran God King was indeed worthy of his reputation. He formed a claw with his fingers and swung it out. A Dragon Claw Entanglement chaotic energy appeared, as if it were the first spark of light at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth!

"Brilliant Dragon Claw."

The Dragon Claw claws collided with the crimson threads. There was no sound, but that area of void suddenly darkened, as if all color and energy had been erased, forming a brief zone of absolute nothingness! The collision of laws annihilated everything.

First move: A draw!

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Asura God King. His sword strike, seemingly casual, had actually used seventy percent of his normal combat strength, and the Judgment Law it contained was enough to easily injure a veteran First-level Deity, yet it had been so easily parried by the opponent?

"Interesting. It seems you've already made quite a journey in the God King realm." The Asura God King finally spoke, his voice as cold as the cosmic wind.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a longsword with an ancient design, dark red in color, and a blade that seemed to be formed from endless slaughter and resentment appeared out of thin air in his hand. The moment the sword appeared, the starlight of the entire star field seemed to dim a little, and the endless killing intent made the gods watching the battle on Douluo Planet feel their hearts tremble!

The Super Divine Artifact – the Asura Demon Sword!

"Those who can withstand one of my sword strikes are worthy of my swordsmanship."

Yu Yuanchen's expression was solemn. He reached out and grasped at the air, and a long spear, entirely Purple-Gold, with lightning and chaotic energy Entanglement its shaft and dragon patterns coiling around it, appeared in his hand.

A cold glint appeared at the tip of the spear, seemingly capable of piercing through all realms! This spear was originally named Thunder Dragon Spear. After he became God King, he melted down countless metals, reforged its origin, and integrated it with his Primordial Star Great Dao, thus it was upgraded to Super Divine Artifact — the Primordial Star Dragon Spear!

"Please!"

Before the words were even finished, the two figures vanished into the void at the same time! The speed of God King Level has long surpassed the speed of light and the limitations of space. It is impossible for the naked eye to detect them. Only the constantly Rupture and healing void indicates the trajectory of their movement.

In the next instant, an indescribable burst of dazzling light erupted from the vast depths of the universe! Two ultimate divine lights, one blood-red and the other chaotic, intertwined, collided, and annihilated each other, forming a massive energy storm that swept across all directions!

As the Asura Demon Sword was swung, endless terrifying phenomena emerged. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared in the sword light, and the wails of fallen Divine Demon echoed in the void. Each sword strike carried a terrifying will to judge all things and end everything, as if it wanted to completely destroy this entire universe.

The sword energy swept across the land, causing stars to tremble wherever it passed. The asteroid belts that blocked the path of the sword energy had no time to react before being easily cut into dust by this terrifying sword energy, turning into cosmic dust and dissipating into the void.

Yu Yuanchen held the Primordial Star Dragon Spear, his posture upright like a pine tree. His spear skills were superb, whether thrusting, sweeping, picking, or smashing. His moves were simple and grand, yet contained infinite variations. Each move was in harmony with the great principles of heaven and earth, perfectly natural.

Wherever the spear tip passed, lightning crackled and thunder roared, and chaotic energy surged, evolving into a profound scene of the Five Elements elements generating each other and the two polarities Life and Death and ceasing. He perfectly integrated the Martial Way truth he had comprehended with the Primordial Star Law, achieving a balance of offense and defense. His spear moved like a dragon, each move aimed directly at the Asura God King's weaknesses.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deep, terrifying collisions echoed through the cosmos, not merely simple energy clashes, but the ultimate battle of God King Level laws!

Where the two clashed, large sections of space collapsed and Rupture, forming miniature black holes that briefly swallowed everything around them. But the next second, the even stronger force generated by their collision would forcefully smooth them out, restoring everything to its original state.

A terrifying energy storm swept in all directions, spreading into the depths of the universe. Wherever it passed, stars shifted and nebulae disintegrated.

Yu Yuanchen has brought his Martial Way arts skills to their peak. His path of Martial Way is different from that of the God King Divine Realm, who rely on God Position and laws. Instead, he uses his physical body as the foundation, his Soul Power as the means, and his will as the soul, going against the current step by step to achieve his current state.

In battle, he sometimes moved like a thunderbolt, his Primordial Star Dragon Spear transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long Thunder Dragon, roaring with Dragon Might and shaking the heavens, forcefully tearing apart the blood-red sword curtain laid down by the Asura God King; at other times, he moved like a gentle breeze, his movements unpredictable and ever-changing, unleashing his self-created God Level movement technique "Void Escape," his figure flickering uncertainly in the void, dodging the Asura Demon Sword's deadly attacks in the nick of time, and countering with a "World-Breaking Style" spear strike, the spear tip precisely piercing the weak point in the Asura God King's law operation, each move ruthless and relentless.

The Asura God King, on the other hand, took a steady and methodical approach, relying on his immense Divine Power accumulated over countless millennia and his unparalleled understanding of the Slaughter Law, using brute force to overcome skill and overwhelming others with his power.

His swordsmanship appears to be simple and profound, without complicated moves. However, what seems like an ordinary sword strike often contains endless countermeasures and variations. The sword moves conceal killing moves, and the killing moves are wrapped in laws, forcing Yu Yuanchen to go all out and not dare to relax even for a moment.

"Asura Divine Domain!" The Asura God King, frustrated by his prolonged battle, finally unleashed his God King Domain! Dark red light rapidly expanded from him, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

Within the divine realm, all laws tilted towards "slaughter" and "end." Yu Yuanchen immediately felt his own Primordial Star Law sluggish, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, his movements slowed down, and even the speed at which his Divine Power recovered decreased significantly!

"Primordial Star Divine Domain, open!" Yu Yuanchen roared, and chaotic light erupted from his body, colliding fiercely with the Slaughter Domain! His domain contained the "Primordial Star Great Dao" that he himself created, encompassing all treasures, yet independent of external laws, aiming to "stabilize the universe and Immunity to All Laws!" The two Great Dao Divine Domains collided and eroded each other wildly, forming a magnificent yet deadly Forbidden Zone laws in the void!

However, Yu Yuanchen had only been a God King for a short time, and in terms of the refinement and breadth of his domain, he was still slightly inferior to the Asura God King, who had accumulated Slaughter Domain over countless millennia. In terms of domain collision, he was at a disadvantage.

"Hmph, a newly formed divine realm, yet you dare to contend with me?" The Asura God King sneered, the Asura Demon Sword shining brightly, a massive crimson sword aura condensing Star Piercer, locking onto Yu Yuanchen, "Asura World-Ending Slash!"

This sword strike contained all the power of the Asura God King in his normal state, and was one of his signature techniques. When the sword was drawn, it seemed as if the Heaven-Splitting would be reborn and the world destroyed!

Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, Yu Yuanchen showed no fear, but instead unleashed an unprecedented fighting spirit! He took a deep breath, and his Blood Essence surged and roared like the Yangtze River! Beneath his skin, a faint Purple-Gold divine light flowed, and his bones emitted a Daoist sound like Dragon Roar!

"God King Battle Body, activate!"

Boom! His body seemed to transform into a cosmic furnace, bursting forth with billions of feet of light! A pure, domineering, and terrifying physical power that surpassed ordinary Divine Body erupted with a thunderous roar.

Over the years, Yu Yuanchen has never slacked off in the slightest. He obtained a more complete and core Dragon Clan inheritance from Gu Yuena, and used it as nourishment to plan the path of Martial Way advancement after becoming a god, completely breaking free from the shackles of traditional God Level relying on God Position.

In his early years, he used the residual Dragon Power from the remains of the Ice Fire Dragon King in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as nourishment for his Martial Way cultivation, tempering his physical body and solidifying his foundation.

Although the two Dragon King God King Level strength in their prime, they had long since perished, and most of the Dragon Power contained in their dragon bones had been lost. Moreover, Yu Yuanchen had to give Gu Yuena some face and was unwilling to absorb all the power in the dragon bones, thus cutting off the life path of the two Dragon King' remaining dragon spirits. He only took half of it, which was merely a drop in the ocean for him now, far from enough to support his breakthrough to God King Level physical body.

Therefore, he turned his attention to the Dragon Valley Small World of the Star Luo Continent overseas. Within that Dragon Valley lie the remains of countless ancient True Dragon, containing a massive amount of pure Dragon Power, which is an excellent nutrient for tempering the physical body.

Yu Yuanchen personally entered Dragon Valley, spending a considerable amount of time absorbing some of the Dragon Power from the countless True Dragon remains. He then refined and purified it using his own Primordial Star Great Dao, ultimately achieving God King Level physical body. Incidentally, he also reached a supreme realm similar to "Indestructible Upon Seeing the Divine" in his previous life's novels, achieving an extremely precise control over every bit of his power.

During his exploration of Dragon Valley, he had also tested the Dragon God's soul within the Dragon Valley. However, as the former Supreme God King, he still retained considerable power, and Yu Yuanchen was unable to do anything to him for the time being. Fortunately, Yu Yuanchen's bloodline had already begun to transcend the Dragon God lineage; otherwise, he would probably have lost 70% of his strength in front of the Dragon God.

Although Yu Yuanchen's Martial Soul is the Thunder Sacred Dragon, and his bloodline level had reached the Dragon King level when he first became a god, he was ultimately a human, not a dragon. The path of Martial Way after the God Level is to melt and dissolve all the external forces he relied on in his life's cultivation— the Thunder Sacred Dragon Bloodline, the Soul Ring and Spirit Bone imprints obtained from hunting Soul Beast, and even the spiritual energy of Immortal Herb he absorbed—ultimately reversing his innate nature!

The moment he reached the God King Level, he was no longer anyone's descendant, no longer dependent on any external inheritance. He, Yu Yuanchen, was the source himself, the unique "Primordial Star Divine Body," completely transcending the shackles of the Dragon God.

"Heaven Splitting World Illumination!"

Yu Yuanchen let out a long roar that reverberated throughout the starry sea, concentrating all his God King Battle Body power, Primordial Star Great Dao Divine Power, his Martial Way will, and Primordial Star Law onto the tip of the Primordial Star Dragon Spear! At this moment, his aura Rupture the void, and his Divine Power transformed into a dazzling, world-changing divine light, as if it could cleanse the Life and Death of the starry river and Heaven-Splitting!

Yu Yuanchen moved, transforming into a chaotic stream of light that tore through the universe. Without dodging or avoiding, he charged headlong into the world-destroying crimson sword aura!

Force against force! Hard against hard!

Laugh--!

There was no explosion, only a piercingly sharp tearing sound! The chaotic stream of light, like a red-hot dagger cutting into butter, forcefully cleaved the massive crimson sword aura in two! Its momentum undiminished, it pierced straight towards the Asura God King's face!

"What?!" The Asura God King's expression finally changed slightly, and for the first time, disbelief appeared in his eyes! His Asura World-Ending Slash had actually been broken by the opponent with pure power and physical strength?! What kind of terrifying physique and power would that require?!

In the heat of the moment, he parried with his sword!

Clang--!!!

Like two stars colliding! An indescribable roar and shockwave swept in all directions! The Asura God King felt an irresistible force, his sword-wielding arm trembled violently, his tiger's mouth went numb, and his body was blasted backward thousands of miles! Although he immediately regained his footing, his composure was gone!

In contrast, although Yu Yuanchen was also pushed back a thousand miles by the backlash, his aura was long and his Divine Body shone even brighter, clearly indicating that he was not greatly affected!

The difference in quality is immediately apparent!

In terms of raw power, Yu Yuanchen, who followed the path of Martial Way, defied his innate nature, and achieved the Supreme God King Battle Body, actually suppressed the Asura God King, who relied on his God Position and relied mainly on laws and Divine Power!

"Excellent! Excellent Martial Way! Excellent Primordial Star Divine Body!" The Asura God King steadied himself, and for the first time, a solemn expression and a hint of genuine fighting spirit appeared in his blood-red eyes. "I underestimated you, this rising star!"

Yu Yuanchen stood with his spear in hand, surrounded by chaotic energy, like a god who had created the world. He calmly said, "Shura, your path has come to an end. My path has only just begun."

He felt the surging, seemingly inexhaustible power within him, and the God King Battle Body that resonated faintly with the origin of the universe, which greatly boosted his confidence.

Martial Way cultivation may be difficult in the early stages, but once one reaches the highest realm, their combat power and endurance are far beyond what other experts of the same level can match! Although the Asura God King's Divine Power is formidable, he absolutely cannot outlast him in such a high-intensity war of attrition!

The Asura God King clearly realized this as well. He no longer held back. His blood-red hair danced wildly without wind, and his aura surged once more. The Asura Demon Sword emitted an excited hum, and the Slaughter Law boiled to its extreme!

"Yu Yuanchen, you have successfully enraged me." The Asura God King's voice was icy cold. "Next, I will show you what it truly means to be... the Number One Attacker in the God Realm!"

Deep within the universe, an even more terrifying battle is about to erupt! Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu and the others, stationed on Douluo Planet, are on tenterhooks. Although Yu Yuanchen currently holds the upper hand, how could the Asura God King, a veteran God King, not have some trump card up his sleeve? The real test is only just beginning!
