In deep space, the energy storm that had been violently colliding suddenly stopped.

The Asura God King stood suspended amidst the shattered stardust. The dark red divine light surrounding him, which had been as solid as the foundation of the universe and filled with the majesty of judgment, began to undergo a strange change. Its color shifted towards a deeper dark purple, and the light was no longer pure. Instead, it exuded a chilling aura of evil, chaos, and arrogance.

He did not attack immediately, but instead released Daoliu and looked down at the Dark Red Small Cauldron that was floating beside him and sealing Tang San. A resolute look flashed in his eyes, along with an indescribable sense of irritation.

"A piece of trash is still a piece of trash, forcing me to resort to this desperate measure..." he muttered to himself, then flicked his sleeve!

The lid of the dark red cauldron suddenly opened, and a powerful suction force came from within, not outwards! Immediately afterward, a dark purple ball of light, extremely unstable and filled with an aura of corruption, resentment, and curses— the Rakshasa God Position that had just merged with Tang San, along with Tang San's extremely weak and dormant Divine Soul —was forcibly extracted from his body!

"Melt!"

With a low roar, the Asura God King opened his massive maw and, as if swallowing a whale, devoured the Rakshasa God Position, which represented the origin of "evil slaughter," and Tang San's Divine Soul in one gulp!

"Boom--!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying energy surge erupted from the Asura God King! The divine light surrounding him instantly transformed from dark red to a chaotic, dark purple-blood color that seemed to blend righteous judgment with evil curses!

Its momentum surged wildly without end, instantly breaking through previous limits and reaching a terrifying height that made Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and the others who were holding the line in the distance tremble with fear and their bodies stiffen!

The "Primordial Star Divine Domain" that originally enveloped the battlefield was forcibly squeezed and compressed by this surging aura, its range sharply reduced and its light dimmed! Yu Yuanchen grunted, took several steps back holding his spear, and for the first time, his face showed extreme solemnity!

At this moment, the Asura God King's body seemed to have swelled up, dark purple twisted ghost face runes appeared on his blood-red divine armor, and the blade of the Asura Demon Sword in his hand was also Entanglement in ominous purplish-black energy.

His originally ancient and dignified face and temperament now carried a kind of unbridled arrogance, and his gaze toward Yu Yuanchen was full of the playful mockery of a cat toying with a mouse and an overwhelming sense of superiority.

"Yu Yuanchen!" The Asura God King's voice became hoarse and filled with ferocity. "Do you feel the difference? This is my true power! The true form of the Number One Attacker in the God Realm."

Yu Yuanchen's expression turned extremely solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Asura, have you gone mad! The Asura God Position governs order and judgment, Rakshasa God Position governs evil and depravity. Their origins are contradictory. You are forcibly fusing them together. Aren't you afraid that your God Position will be completely corrupted by the Rakshasa origin, ultimately leading you to eternal damnation?"

"Contamination? Corruption?" The Asura God King scoffed, seemingly enjoying the feeling of unleashing his full power and no longer needing to conceal it. With a hint of smugness, he began to reveal secrets hidden for countless millennia:

"Do you think that among the Five Great God Kings, it is I who can firmly hold the title of 'number one combat power'? Evil and Goodness are a pair, Life and Destruction are companions. They support each other and complement each other's paths. Logically speaking, their Cultivation Level should far surpass that of this lone wolf!"

He brandished the Demon Sword, leaving behind Jiujiu purplish-black corrosive marks in the space it slashed across.

"The answer lies with— the Dragon God!" A glint of fanaticism and ferocity flashed in the eyes of the Asura God King. "I personally slew a Supreme God King!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu and the others watching from afar paled in shock! Slaying Supreme God King? What an earth-shattering feat! Although legend says the Dragon God died in an attack by the gods of the Divine Realm, judging from Asura's words, he actually carried out the fatal blow himself?

"Hmph, regardless of whether that mad Dragon God willingly sought death, the fact remains that he died by my sword, or rather, among the Five Great God Kings, only my sword could kill the Dragon God!" The Asura God King's tone was filled with unparalleled arrogance. "The feedback from me, who wields the Slaughter Law, personally ending the life of a Supreme God King is beyond your imagination! At that moment, I saw the dawn of the path to the Supreme God King realm!"

However, the smugness on his face was quickly replaced by a shadow of gloom.

"But the Dragon God was both my strength and my Dragon God! The feedback was too immense and too intense, and I couldn't control it perfectly in time. What's worse, that madman Dragon God, before he died, not only split his physical body and Divine Soul, but also his chaotic and insane evil thoughts! Although most of it was left to the Golden Dragon King, a trace of the purest and most stubborn evil thoughts still clung to me along with the cause and effect of killing him!"

The Asura God King's voice carried a hint of lingering fear and anger. "My Slaughter Law has always teetered between good and evil. Caught off guard by the Dragon God Malice, and coupled with my unstable power, the Law Origin has begun to be corrupted and distorted! I have struggled for countless years, trying every possible method, but I have been unable to eradicate it! In the end... I had no choice but to make a painful but necessary sacrifice!"

He pointed to his current dark purple-blooded state. "I forcibly separated the corrupted part of my God Position origin and Divine Soul! That separated part gradually evolved on its own, becoming what you just saw— the Rakshasa God Position! Representing evil, depravity, and cursed slaughter! And I retained the relatively 'pure' Asura God Position, symbolizing order, judgment, and just slaughter!"

"This division, while temporarily freeing me from contamination, has almost completely squandered the immense feedback I gained from slaying the Dragon God, Cultivation Level my cultivation to plummet back to square one. More importantly..." A trace of extreme resentment flashed in the Asura God King's eyes, "This path is now completely severed! The source, contaminated and forcibly divided, can no longer be perfectly harmonious; the realm of the Supreme God King is now a mere illusion!"

While Yu Yuanchen was fully activating his Primordial Star Divine Domain to resist the terrifying pressure emanating from the Asura God King, he calmly listened to every word he said. Many doubts that had been building up in his mind for a long time finally became clear.

It turns out that the so-called "number one fighting force in the Divine Realm" of the Asura God King actually hides such a secret. Moreover, the two great God Position of Asura and Rakshasa are actually born from the same origin, both originating from the Asura God King's own original source. No wonder the Slaughter Law of the Rakshasa God Position has such a deep connection with the Asura God Position.

"So," Yu Yuanchen suddenly spoke, his voice still steady, "You discovered Tang San, this soul from another world with a special destiny, and began your scheme."

The Asura God King glanced at Yu Yuanchen with slight surprise, seemingly not expecting him to have figured things out so quickly. He then grinned maliciously and said, "That's right! I have two choices. The first choice is to train him to inherit the Rakshasa God Position and turn him into a dedicated 'trash can'! I can call upon the power of the Rakshasa God Position at any time, but I can let this 'trash can' bear the backlash and pollution of the Dragon God Malice for me!"

"And the second option..." Yu Yuanchen's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Is to nominally let him inherit your Asura God Position, and then... find an opportunity to possess him! In this way, you can completely get rid of the identity of ' Asura God King,' thereby severing the causal link with the death of the Dragon God, and preventing that evil thought from entangleing you any longer. At that time, you can reclaim the Rakshasa God Position, and the origins of the two God Position will return to one, allowing you to break free of the shackles and truly reach the supreme realm!"

The arrogant expression on the Asura God King's face stiffened slightly, then became even more ferocious. "Clever! Truly clever! Yu Yuanchen, you see things much more clearly than those fools on the God Realm Committee! What a pity, what a pity..." He shook his head regretfully.

"Tang San is such a waste, utterly disappointing! I've lowered the standards again and again, and he doesn't even qualify for the Asura God Position assessment! He's hopeless! I have no choice but to settle for second best and choose the first option: turn him into a garbage can!"

To ensure that this "trash can" would obey and not backfire, the Asura God King had long ago quietly merged the part of his corrupted Divine Soul that he had separated into the depths of Tang San's soul origin, and they coexisted.

It can be said that from the moment Tang San embarked on the path of Soul Master, his soul was no longer entirely his own. The moment he became the Rakshasa God, this connection was completely solidified. In front of the Asura God King, Tang San was almost equivalent to an external avatar that could be taken over at any time!

"Everything was going smoothly. I was just waiting to remove you, this stumbling block, so I could safely 'use' this trash can and slowly recover my power." The Asura God King looked at Yu Yuanchen with murderous intent. "But I never expected that you, Yu Yuanchen, would be able to reach a point where you can contend with me in such a short time! And I never expected that you seemed to have already sensed something?"

Facing the Asura God King, whose strength had surged dramatically, Yu Yuanchen was at a disadvantage, but he could still barely hold on thanks to his Supreme God King Battle Body. Primordial Star Dragon Spear danced like a wheel, barely deflecting terrifying attacks that tore through galaxies. Each collision caused his Blood Essence to surge, but his battle body shone with light, rapidly healing his injuries. He coldly replied, "Asura, your schemes probably don't end there, do they?"

"Oh?" The Asura God King slowed his attack slightly, wanting to hear what else Yu Yuanchen could say with great interest.

"If you merely treat Tang San as a 'dumping ground,' you can indeed recover most of your power and reclaim your throne as the number one in the Divine Realm. But... any hope of advancing further is completely lost."

Yu Yuanchen's gaze was piercing, as if he could see through people's hearts. "With your ambition, how could you be content? So, you set your sights on the legacy of the Dragon God! The Golden Dragon King is sealed in the Divine Realm, and the Silver Dragon King lies dormant on Douluo Planet. The Golden Dragon Bloodline in Tang San's body is probably not just for enhancing his potential, is it? It's more like an experiment? Or perhaps some kind of compatibility test?"

The Asura God King's pupils contracted slightly.

Yu Yuanchen continued, "You want to seize the power of the Golden Dragon King, or even... recreate the Dragon God's Power? But the other God King aren't fools. Evil, Goodness, Life, and Destruction —they may check each other, but they will never sit idly by and watch you monopolize the Dragon God's legacy, break the balance of power in the Divine Realm, and threaten their position. So, in your eyes, the major God King, including myself, are probably all obstacles that you need to clear away step by step, right?"

"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, the Asura God King let out a maniacal laugh, his laughter filled with the rage of being exposed and the undisguised killing intent. "Yu Yuanchen, Yu Yuanchen! I'm truly growing to admire you more and more, and I'm also increasingly eager to kill you! You're right! Once I've dealt with all of you who are in my way, merged with the power of the Golden Dragon, and found the Silver Dragon King... who in this universe can stop me?! The God Realm Committee? Nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

He completely dropped his pretense, and his attacks became even more ferocious and ruthless. Dark purple and blood-red sword energy, like a storm, completely engulfed Yu Yuanchen. Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Ye Zhilan, and Bo Saixi were extremely anxious and wanted to step forward to help him.

"Don't come any closer!" Yu Yuanchen's voice rang in the four people's minds, carrying an undeniable resolve. "His current state is unusual, his power is strange. Your interference will only distract me! Trust me!"

The four gritted their teeth and stopped, focusing all their efforts on maintaining the barrier to prevent the aftershocks of the battle from destroying star systems further away.

In the center of the battlefield, Yu Yuanchen struggled to hold on amidst the raging tide of sword energy. He wielded his Primordial Star Dragon Spear with impenetrable force, the tip of the spear constantly colliding with the sword energy. Each collision caused his Blood Essence to surge, and cracks gradually appeared on his divine armor.

Seeing this, the Asura God King's killing intent intensified. He laughed wildly and raised the Asura Demon Sword. The sword and the Divine Rune between his brows simultaneously lit up with a dazzling dark purple-blood light, and a terrifying power far exceeding the previous one gathered within his body.

"Yu Yuanchen, it is your honor to die at my hands in my fused state! Asura Rakshasa - Asura Blood Sword!" The Asura God King laughed wildly, and the Asura Demon Sword and the Divine Rune between his brows lit up simultaneously.

A crimson sword light, Entanglement endless slaughter, judgment, and evil curses, tore through the universe and crashed down upon Yu Yuanchen! Its power far surpassed any previous attack!

Yu Yuanchen's pupils constricted as he sensed a deadly threat! He roared, unleashing his God King Battle Body to its fullest potential. The Primordial Star Dragon Spear erupted with unprecedented light, concentrating all his power into a single strike!

"Yuanchen - Boundary Opening!"

A powerful blow, a fierce collision!

Boom--------!!!!!!!!!

An indescribable explosion occurred! It was like the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe! The light devoured everything! The distant Douluo Planet was trembling violently, and its star rings shattered! Qian Daoliu and the others turned pale and did their best to stabilize the star!

As the light faded, Yu Yuanchen knelt in the void, his Primordial Star Dragon Spear riddled with cracks, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his divine armor shattered, and his aura weakened—clearly, he had suffered a severe injury! The Asura God King in his fused state was incredibly powerful!

"Hahahaha! Yu Yuanchen, accept your fate! You won't last long against my complete ' Asura Rakshasa ' power!" Although the Asura God King's aura was also fluctuating violently, he clearly had the upper hand. He walked step by step toward Yu Yuanchen, his killing intent chilling.

He laughed wildly, and with a single sword strike, he deflected the Primordial Star Dragon Spear that Yu Yuanchen had used to parry, and a sinister sword aura shot straight toward Yu Yuanchen's chest!

At this critical moment, a cold glint flashed in Yu Yuanchen's eyes. He did not take the sword head-on, but instead moved with unpredictable speed, narrowly dodging the attack while silently chanting, "Now!"

A faint yet extremely pure fluctuation, carrying the original aura of Yu Yuanchen, ignored the spatial distance and instantly pierced through the Asura God King's defenses, directly affecting the core of Tang San's Divine Soul, which was being devoured and suppressed within his body!

"Huh?!" The Asura God King's seemingly certain sword strike suddenly veered off course, his face showing surprise and a hint of panic for the first time! "What happened?! My control over Tang San's Divine Soul..."

This was precisely the contingency plan that Yu Yuanchen had painstakingly and subtly planted when Tang San was still young! A "sealing restriction" containing a trace of his Divine Sense! This restriction was originally intended to interfere with Tang San's actions at a crucial moment, but now, Yu Yuanchen used it to sever Tang San's connection with the Asura God, thereby breaking his control over Tang San, and... awakening Tang San!

In order to completely control Tang San, the Asura God King fused a part of his corrupted Divine Soul with Tang San's soul. However, because Yu Yuanchen and his men came to find Tang San as soon as he became a god, there was no time to erase Tang San's will.

In order to control Tang San's Divine Soul, he could only temporarily put it into a slumber. The reason he didn't use the Asura Rakshasa fusion method from the beginning was because he was distracted by controlling Tang San's Divine Soul. However, he underestimated Yu Yuanchen's methods, and he also underestimated the despair and madness of a soul after learning the truth!

"Ah--!!!"

A piercing, resentful scream, filled with endless unwillingness and rage, suddenly emanated from the Asura God King's body! It was Tang San's voice!

Tang San's Divine Soul, forcibly awakened, sensed the information transmitted to him by Yu Yuanchen through the restriction—his own puppet-like situation, and all the conspiracies that the Asura God King had buried deep in his soul—from the moment he transmigrated, it was an elaborate deception!

His so-called adventures, hardships, powers, and even godhood were all part of a pre-arranged script, designed to mold him into a qualified "garbage can" or "container"!

His mother's blood feud, Xiao Wu's sacrifice, the revenge and power he pursued with everything he had... in the end, it was all a joke?! His life was a complete tragedy and a complete deception!

"Asura --!!! You will die a horrible death!!!" Tang San's Divine Soul went completely mad in extreme resentment and despair! He knew he was too weak to resist the Asura God King, but he could still choose the final path!

"Trying to control me? Dream on! Even if I die, I'll tear a piece of your flesh! Rakshasa God Position... blast it away!!!"

With his remaining Divine Soul filled with boundless resentment towards the Asura God King, Yu Yuanchen, and the entire world, Tang San resolutely chose the most tragic way—burning his own Divine Soul and simultaneously activating the Rakshasa God Position, which was intertwined with his life, in order to perish together with the Asura God King!

"You bastard! How dare you!" The Asura God King was both shocked and furious. He did indeed have the highest authority over the Rakshasa God Position, and immediately suppressed it with all his might! Tang San's Divine Soul burning was forcibly interrupted, and the self-destruction of the Rakshasa God Position was also contained.

But it was too late!

"Puff--!"

The Asura God King's body trembled violently, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood. The chaotic and powerful aura around him instantly became disordered and plummeted! The Rakshasa God Position was severely damaged, and the Asura God Position, which was connected to his origin, also suffered a backlash!

More importantly, Tang San's resolute self-destructive will, filled with extreme negative emotions, was like the most poisonous curse, flowing through his Divine Soul connection and violently impacting his very essence!

The brief but powerful force he gained from merging the two God Position receded like a tide, and his body fell into a temporary state of stiffness.

How could Yu Yuanchen miss such a golden opportunity?

"Now! Let's do it!"

"Yuan Chen - Pi Tian Huan Shi!" Yu Yuan Chen roared, and the Yuan Chen Dragon Spear, which had been waiting for its power to be unleashed, burst forth with unprecedentedly brilliant light. Man and spear became one, transforming into the first ray of lightning that split the heavens and the earth, piercing straight into the core weakness exposed by the backlash of the Asura God King!

At the same time, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Ye Zhilan, Bo Saixi, having received the signal, no longer hesitated!

"Angel Sacred Radiance - Apocalypse Exorcism!" Qian Daoliu -foot-tall Angel Phantom, his body radiating Holy Light. The Angel Sacred Sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light that Purification everything, and a huge Light Sword tore through the void, heading straight for the Asura God King!

"Vast Sky - World Destruction!" Tang Chen activated his Destruction God Position, and the Giant Hammer in his hand grew to ten thousand feet in size. The hammer body was covered with Clear Sky runes, and it smashed down on the Asura God King with the power to suppress the heavens and earth!

"Life's Hymn - All Things Wither!" Ye Zhilan, who wielded the Law of Life, reversed the Law Power at this moment, turning Life into withering. Her body was filled with an aura of death, and a green light containing the power of Life's decay transformed into a sharp blade, piercing towards the Divine Soul of the Asura God King!

"Sea God's Wrath - World Cleansing Torrent!" Bo Saixi drew upon the Vast Sea Power, his body surging with giant waves, transforming into a vast and boundless blue torrent, carrying the dual power of Purification and Destruction, sweeping towards the Asura God King!

The four First-level Deity unleashed their ultimate Divine Skill without reservation! Four divine lights, each a different color but equally imbued with world-destroying power, tore through the universe and, together with Yu Yuanchen's supreme spear strike, instantly engulfed the severely injured and aura-depleted Asura God King from five different directions!

"No--!!!"

The Asura God King let out a desperate and unwilling roar. In the Destruction energy storm that gathered the full power of the five Spirit-level Expert, his powerful God King body Rupture and disintegrated into cosmic dust, just like broken porcelain!

Only a wisp of extremely dim, cracked, and broken divine Divine Soul, carrying a similarly damaged Asura Rakshasa God Position Core with flickering light, escaped directly into Tang San's body, which, due to its existence within the small cauldron, had barely remained intact in the aftershocks, but whose eyes were empty (Tang San's consciousness had been almost completely annihilated). At the last moment, it ignited some forbidden secret technique, transforming into a barely perceptible stream of blood-red light, and crashed madly towards the Divine Realm at an unimaginable speed, disappearing in an instant!

As the aftershocks of Yu Yuanchen and the others' combined attack slowly dissipated, they looked at the empty void, now filled only with shattered stars and turbulent energy, their expressions varying.

"Or... let him escape with his Divine Soul." Qian Daoliu sighed.

Yu Yuanchen sheathed the Primordial Star Dragon Spear, his face slightly pale, but his eyes remained sharp. He chuckled lightly, "It's alright. His physical body is destroyed, his origin is severely damaged, his Rakshasa God Position is almost crippled, and his ambition has been completely exposed. The only way he can possibly turn the tables now is through the Golden Dragon King's seal. This is something I'm happy to see happen. Otherwise, I can't very well break the seal myself, can I?"

The universe returned to silence, but a massive storm that swept through the Divine Realm and the mortal world was not yet completely over.
