"Tsk, tsk. One shot the moment he shows his face? That's even more brutal than using an aimbot!"
Su Chen couldn't help clicking his tongue as he read the simulator's text.
That was Niu Tian! The Clear Sky Sect's grandmaster, a being with the strength of a god official!
He hadn't even lasted a single move?
"Looks like the day I trample Tang San underfoot isn't far off."
Although it was only a simulation, the exhilarating feeling of being invincible left Su Chen's blood surging.
[Niu Tian has fallen.]
[In that frozen River of Time, a Soul Ring radiating brilliant red-gold light floated silently.]
[A Million-Year Soul Ring! A divine Soul Ring!]
[Its aura was ancient and boundless, as if it contained the power to create heaven and earth.]
[You stood with your hands behind your back, your expression indifferent.]
[Within this River of Time, you were the only true god—the absolute ruler!]
["Refine!"]
[With a soft command, the Million-Year Soul Ring, powerful enough to make a Limit Douluo explode, obediently transformed into pure energy and merged into your body.]
[Refined in an instant! Without the slightest resistance!]
[As the Soul Ring settled into place, your aura surged once more. The flow of time around you seemed to halt with each breath.]
["Time to go back."]
[You took a single step, tore through the River of Time's barrier, and returned to the real world.]
[As soon as you returned, deafening roars reached your ears.]
[The battle was at a stalemate.]
[Although Du Busi was a Level 99 Limit Douluo with fearsome combat strength, he was now locked in a bitter fight.]
[His opponent was the Clear Sky Sect's second-in-command—Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape!]
[Though Er Ming had refrained from using divine power to avoid violating the Divine Realm's rules, his terrifying physical strength still possessed the might to destroy heaven and earth.]
[Worse still, the Clear Sky Sect was fighting dirty!]
[Several elders at the Super Douluo level had formed a battle formation. Countless enormous Clear Sky Hammers blotted out the sky, crashing down on Du Busi like a dense meteor shower.]
["Clear Sky Sect! You pack of rats, ganging up on one man!"]
[Du Busi roared again and again, unleashing his ink-green Soul Power to meet the rain of hammer blows head-on. But even he couldn't fight off so many opponents at once. He was already wounded in several places and looked rather battered.]
[Just as Er Ming was about to rally the Clear Sky Sect's elders and deal Du Busi a crippling blow in one fell swoop,]
[A figure appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the battlefield.]
[It was you!]
[Without a word, the Soul Rings beneath your feet rose into view.]
[In that instant, the heavens dimmed, and the sun and moon lost their light!]
[Everyone stopped breathing, staring fixedly at the terrifying rings beneath your feet—rings that defied common sense and shattered everything they thought they knew!]
[First ring: orange-gold! Second ring: orange-gold! Third ring: orange-gold!]
[Ferocious Beast-level rings right from the start?!]
[Then came three red rings!]
[Finally, the Seventh Soul Ring slowly appeared—]
[A red-gold ring, exuding an ancient, boundless aura, as if cast from molten gold!]
[A Million-Year Soul Ring? No! It was a divine Soul Ring!]
[The entire battlefield fell silent.]
[Even the air seemed frozen by that terrifying pressure.]
["That's..."]
[Er Ming's pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the red-gold Seventh Soul Ring beneath your feet.]
[An aura so familiar it made his soul tremble washed over him.]
[It was the Azure Bull Python's aura! It was his elder brother, Niu Tian!]
["Big brother?! You... you actually killed him?!"]
[Er Ming let out a piercing roar. His eyes instantly reddened, and his reason snapped completely.]
[BOOM!]
[Er Ming went completely berserk! Ignoring the plane's suppression, he forcibly broke his seal and unleashed the full power of a god official!]
[Even if the Divine Realm Enforcers punished him afterward, he would tear the murderer of his brother limb from limb!]
[He turned into a burning meteor, charging toward you with the force to destroy heaven and earth!]
[Facing a blow powerful enough to pierce the continental plate, you remained impassive, a trace of disdain flashing in your eyes.]
["A mere god official dares yap at me?"]
[King Crimson—Time Erasure!]
[The world was once again swallowed by that despairing dark red.]
[Time stopped. All things froze.]
[You strolled through the frozen space-time, gazed at Er Ming's horribly twisted face, and gently raised a hand.]
[You drew upon the power of the River of Time. An invisible Blade of Years took shape in your hand, and you casually plunged it into Er Ming's chest.]
[Time resumed its flow.]
[Spurt—!]
[Er Ming's body, which had been charging forward in a frenzy, suddenly went rigid.]
[He lowered his head, staring in disbelief at the gaping hole that pierced through his chest.]
[Golden divine blood gushed out, dyeing the sky red!]
[One move! Instant kill!]
[Er Ming staggered backward, the madness in his eyes giving way to boundless terror.]
[He could feel it—that power... It was divine power beyond his own! And it was an exceptionally high-level temporal divine power!]
["You... you became a god too?!"]
[His life force was rapidly fading. Er Ming knew he was finished.]
[But he couldn't die for nothing! He had to send word back to the Divine Realm! He had to let Third Brother know!]
["Third Brother! Save me!!"]
[With the last of his strength, Er Ming roared at the sky. A pillar of blood-red light shot through the clouds and reached the Divine Realm!]
["Trying to run? Too late!"]
[Watching Er Ming make one final desperate attempt, you let a cold, mocking look flash across your eyes.]
[How could you let this stupid ape turn the tables?]
[King Crimson's dark-red phantom appeared once more. Time Erasure was about to activate—you would put an end to the Forest King's life for good!]
[But at that very moment!]
[Rumble—!]
[The sky split open without warning.]
[A boundless, terrifying pressure that made heaven and earth tremble instantly enveloped the entire Douluo Planet.]
[Before this power, you and even Er Ming, a god official, were as insignificant as specks of dust.]
[A towering figure descended slowly from the void, wreathed in brilliant blue-gold divine light.]
[Tang San!]
[The Asura God and Sea God, enthroned in the Divine Realm and looking down upon all living beings!]
[Though only a projection of divine will had descended—less than one ten-thousandth of his true self—it still possessed genuine divine-level power!]
[He hovered high above, his cold gaze fixed on you with indifference, as if looking at an ant that didn't know its place.]
[There was no introduction, no questioning, not even the slightest flicker of emotion.]
[The dignity of a god could not be profaned by mortals.]
[Tang San slowly raised a finger and lightly pointed it at you.]
["Divine Punishment."]
[Heaven and earth changed color, and the winds and clouds turned against their course!]
[A pillar of blue-gold light, brilliant beyond compare and carrying the will to destroy everything, bore down on you in silence!]
[This attack was impossible to dodge! Impossible to block!]
