Battle Against the Asura God!

"Hmph!"

Seeing that the Asura God was acting as though he had no fear of Di Tian escaping, Di Tian snorted coldly, his expression gradually turning serious.

His body suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive black dragon that crushed several nearby palaces into ruins as he let out an earth-shaking roar.

"Are you putting on such airs because you think you can kill me whenever you want?!"

Although his opponent was among the best of the God Kings, while he currently possessed only the combat strength of a First-Level God—

The pride of the Dragon Clan and the beast god of the Star Dou Great Forest still kept him from bowing his head.

The Asura God paid no heed to Di Tian's words. Looking at him, he spoke in the tone of someone reminiscing about the past.

"You do resemble the Dragon God in some ways."

Not having heard what the Asura God had said clearly, Di Tian beat his wings and roared. A massive cross-shaped claw mark unleashed by Dragon God Claw tore through the sky and howled toward the Asura God.

Wherever the claw mark passed, the terrifying aftershock shattered the magnificent palaces into pieces!

Yet the Asura God merely smiled lightly.

Of the six strange arms behind him, two clenched into fists. Scarlet Asura God Power frantically gathered over them before finally erupting into two bloody-red fist shadows.

The moment the fist shadows appeared, the surrounding world suddenly darkened, with dark-red lightning slithering through the air.

"Bang!!"

Di Tian's full-power Dragon God Claw collided in midair with the two casual punches thrown by the Asura God.

A visible shockwave swept outward, directly reducing all palaces within several miles to rubble.

The two attacks remained locked in a stalemate for a moment before both dissipated.

"This black dragon's Soul Power fluctuations are only at the First-Level God level. How could he possibly withstand an attack from the Asura God?"

Among the first gods to arrive, the Nine-Colored Goddess spoke in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

The Food God beside her shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.

"You don't understand this, do you?"

The God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing, moved closer to the two of them and spoke leisurely.

"They may look evenly matched, but the Asura God has yet to show any killing intent."

"He merely countered the black dragon's attacks with strikes of equal strength after it made its move."

The Nine-Colored Goddess and the Food God immediately understood.

Rong Nianbing was a First-Level God, so he could indeed see more from the exchange.

Rong Nianbing glanced at Di Tian and the Asura God, who were still fighting, then looked toward the streams of light constantly arriving from the horizon.

Every streak of light was a distinguished god from one of the various lower realms.

"There hasn't been anything new in the God Realm for a long time."

Rong Nianbing shook his head, his tone carrying a trace of emotion.

"Thanks to the Asura God stirring things up like this, every god in the God Realm has come to watch the show."

At the center of the battlefield, Di Tian saw that no matter how many slashes he unleashed with Dragon God Claw, the Asura God blocked them with ease.

He immediately beat his wings and retreated, opening up distance between them.

"Sea-Playing God!"

Di Tian bellowed as his divine skill activated instantly.

Rows upon rows of purple discs appeared before him once more, layered atop one another in a line, their targets locked firmly onto the Asura God.

It was exactly the same method he had used not long ago to kill Tang San after strengthening his technique.

"Asura God! I, Di Tian, am not some toy for you to play with!"

Before his words had faded, Soul Power flashed within Di Tian's mouth. Dragon-shaped breath burst from his jaws, howling into the purple discs and continuously passing through them.

With every passage, the breath grew even more powerful!

The Asura God's brow furrowed slightly.

He clenched his hand in the air, and the super divine artifact, the Asura God Sword, appeared in his grasp out of nowhere.

He swung it casually.

The Asura God Sword unleashed a massive scarlet slash!

The half-moon-shaped slash tore through the sky, effortlessly cutting through the breath charging toward him!

The purple breath was like paper before the slash, instantly sliced in two!

After shattering Di Tian's attack, the Asura God glanced at the surrounding gods watching the battle, a trace of impatience flashing through his eyes.

"Di Tian!"

"If you are willing to remain in the God Realm of this era and cease disrupting time and space, I can still spare your life!"

Hearing words that were clearly meant to place him under house arrest—

Di Tian flew into a rage, blazing fury burning in his purple-gold dragon eyes.

"The future of soul beasts lies in my hands! Unless you kill me, I will never change!"

"There's no helping it."

After hearing Di Tian's words, the Asura God looked at the roaring Di Tian with slight regret and shook his head.

The next moment, he gripped the Asura God Sword, his body turning into an afterimage as he slashed toward Di Tian!

So fast!

Di Tian only managed to catch a faint shadow before the Asura God had already finished his slash and appeared behind him!

He maintained his sword-swinging posture without turning back.

That was because he had infused that strike with enough divine power to kill Di Tian in one blow.

Yet not long afterward, the sound of something cutting through the air came from behind him.

The Asura God turned around to look.

Di Tian was completely unharmed and had even launched a sneak attack against him!

"What is going on?!"

The Asura God frowned, dodged the sneak attack, and swung his sword again.

The blade swept through Di Tian's body, and it should have cleaved him in two.

Yet nothing happened. The blade seemed to have passed through air.

At the moment Di Tian was about to be slain by the Asura God, he had activated his divine skill, Heavenly Timing, fixing his current state in place.

No matter how much damage he suffered, it would be temporarily suppressed and only erupt all at once after the divine skill's effect ended.

Di Tian and the Asura God continued clashing, dragon claws and sword blades colliding repeatedly in midair!

Yet Di Tian was never able to injure the Asura God in the slightest!

If not for the support of Heavenly Timing, he would likely have been slain hundreds of times already!

"No! I can't die!"

Di Tian's eyes were bloodshot and veined as he desperately tried to track the Asura God's figure.

"I will never accept the fate of the future!"

The divine skill was still in effect, so the Asura God could not kill him.

But once the skill's effect ended, he would undoubtedly die!

He suddenly recalled those scenes from his future—the agony of giving everything and receiving nothing in return, the bleakness of having his loyalty betrayed—once again flooding his heart.

"My fate! I will never accept it!"

As he thought this, he remembered the Dragon Vein attached within his body.

His First-Level God strength had been achieved with its aid. Now, in this desperate situation, the only thing he could think of was the Dragon Vein!

Within his Spirit Sea, he screamed wildly.

"Dragon Vein! Help me! The one before me may be a God King."

"But mere power of slaughter is something that can be found in endless supply before the vast river of time and space! As long as you help me, we can definitely kill him!"

While struggling to resist the Asura God, Di Tian roared inwardly.

Just moments ago, he had been cut down several more times by the Asura God!

"So that's it! Is this a divine skill related to time and space?"

After some probing, the Asura God finally deduced the truth using his hundreds of thousands of years of experience as a God King.

Di Tian's expression instantly turned ugly upon hearing that.

The Asura God stopped attacking, gripped his sword with both hands, and pointed its tip toward the sky.

The divine power of the entire God Realm began to surge wildly, gathering toward the Asura God Sword like countless rivers flowing into the sea.

In the sky, scarlet lightning continuously crashed down, dyeing the entire world dark red, as though the apocalypse had arrived.
