The Asura God's blood-red pupils constricted sharply. Though his heart was filled with a hatred that demanded he grind Qian Chongguang to dust, he was well aware of the current situation. He let out a heavy, cold snort, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand suddenly took form. A blood-colored sword light tore through the sky, locking onto Qian Chongguang without yielding a single step: "Consider the brat lucky. We join forces to take him down first; his divine soul will be mine to dispose of afterward!"

"Sigh, I originally wanted to watch the show, but it seems I have to step in myself." The Evil God King sighed, his aura of evil and emotional laws spreading out simultaneously. The smile at the corners of his mouth vanished completely, his eyes filled with gravity. "Kid, you really have caused us a massive amount of trouble."

The Goodness Goddess and the Life Goddess exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads helplessly as they simultaneously unfurled their divine domains. The green light of the Life Goddess enveloped the entire field, ready to mend the others' wounds at any moment; the Goodness Goddess's emotional laws spread out slowly, attempting to suppress the frenzied battle intent radiating from Qian Chongguang.

The next second, all five God Kings moved at once!

Five streams of God King-level divine power, each capable of tearing the heavens and earth asunder, surged toward Qian Chongguang from five different directions. Under this terrifying force, space twisted and shattered, forming a vacuum field that cut off all escape, leaving Qian Chongguang no room to retreat.

Yet, facing the joint siege of the five God Kings, Qian Chongguang showed not a shred of fear; instead, he let out a loud, hearty laugh.

His left hand swung the Holy Sword of Light horizontally, while his right hand slashed the Holy Sword of Darkness vertically. His twelve wings of light and darkness flapped violently, and in the blink of an eye, he executed two completely distinct styles of offense and defense simultaneously!

The holy sword in his left hand carried the sacred, scorching heat of the laws of light, following the orthodox, grand, and open sword techniques of the Angel God. Every strike targeted the openings of the Life and Goodness God Kings, sealing off all paths for their support. The sword in his right hand, wrapped in the annihilation and slaughter of the laws of darkness, used cunning and ruthless moves—techniques honed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood—specifically targeting the weak points in the divine power circulation of the Destruction, Evil, and Asura God Kings.

What made the gods' scalps tingle even more was that his feet were not idle either. The leg wind from his left foot was wrapped in dense holy light, guarding his own openings with seamless precision; the force swept out by his right foot carried bone-eroding demonic energy, striking at the blind spots of the God Kings. One attack, one defense, one light, one dark—the coordination was flawless. Despite having only one body, he produced the effect of two top-tier powerhouses attacking in tandem, as if two independent consciousnesses were controlling him simultaneously, without the slightest hesitation or conflict.

"Something is wrong!"

The Asura God slashed out with his sword, clashing head-on with the Holy Sword of Darkness, only to be forced back repeatedly. His expression changed instantly. "This brat is not right! We are clearly besieging one person, so why does it feel like we are fighting two people at the same time?!"

"What kind of bizarre technique is this?!" The Destruction God King gritted his teeth, shattering an incoming sword aura of light with a punch. His eyes were filled with incredulous confusion. He had lived for a million years and watched countless battles across the minor worlds under his jurisdiction, yet he had never seen such an outrageous fighting style.

"How can he simultaneously control two completely contradictory laws and execute two unrelated sets of moves? Is his divine soul split in two, each fighting independently? This completely violates the iron laws of divine soul operation!"

They could clearly perceive that Qian Chongguang possessed only one divine body and one primary soul, yet they could not comprehend how he achieved this extreme level of multitasking. They could only be forced back step by step in the face of this bizarre fighting style.

The battle had lasted less than a hundred breaths, yet the faces of the five God Kings grew increasingly unsightly. They had assumed that with five of them working together, they could instantly crush and capture even a half-step God King. In reality, not only had they failed to suppress Qian Chongguang, but they were gradually losing ground to his unpredictable alternation of light and darkness and his dual-line combat!

The Asura God's shoulder had been sliced open by the Holy Sword of Darkness, a wound deep enough to reveal bone, with the aura of annihilation greedily eroding his body. The Destruction God King's robe had been cleaved by the Holy Sword of Light, leaving a scorched mark on his chest. Even the Life Goddess, who had been hiding in the rear to provide support, had her sleeve torn by sword qi, leaving a minor wound on her arm.

Five supreme God Kings, joining forces to besiege a newly ascended deity who had been in the God Realm for less than an hour, had actually been wounded!

If this were to get out, it would be enough to make the entire God Realm, and even the myriad worlds, laugh until their teeth fell out!

The Seven Deadly Sins Gods and the Seven Elemental Gods watching from the periphery had long since turned pale, their palms sweating.

They were all veteran first-tier gods, powerhouses who had existed since the birth of the God Realm. Yet, facing this God King-level slaughter, let alone intervening, they couldn't even get close to the battlefield—every ripple of the scattered divine power was enough to inflict heavy injuries upon them.

What embarrassed them even more was that while they possessed the cultivation of first-tier gods, they lacked any combat techniques worth mentioning.

The God Realm had been peaceful for a million years; aside from the Dragon God War, there had been almost no large-scale slaughter. They usually relied on their divine authority to govern laws or enjoyed the offerings of faith from the lower realms. Where would they have practiced life-or-death combat techniques?

Compared to those ascended gods who had climbed up from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the lower realms, their practical combat ability was at least a tier lower.

Seeing the five God Kings gradually losing the upper hand, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods and the Seven Elemental Gods could no longer hold back.

"Form the array! Activate the Original Sin Divine Punishment Array!"

The God of Pride, who led them, gave a sharp shout. The Seven Deadly Sins Gods instantly scattered into position, their laws of original sin erupting simultaneously. Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust—seven distinct emotional laws intertwined to form a blood-colored array that shrouded half the sky. A terrifying power of emotional erosion surged toward Qian Chongguang in the center of the battlefield!

"Elemental God Array, activate!" On the other side, the Seven Elemental Gods also struck simultaneously. Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, and Space—the seven elemental laws blended perfectly to form a colorful Elemental Divine Punishment Array. The ultimate power of elemental annihilation locked off all of Qian Chongguang's space for evasion!

Both arrays were recognized as two of the three great defensive arrays of the God Realm, created a million years ago to deal with the Dragon God War and protect the realm from crisis. They were infinitely powerful; even a God King would lose a layer of skin if trapped within them.

Now, to take down Qian Chongguang, they were unleashing them both without reservation!

Watching the two great killing arrays descend to shroud him, and feeling the terrifying power within them capable of annihilating a divine soul, Qian Chongguang did not panic in the slightest. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly: "Interesting."

"Since you have all brought out your signature skills, I cannot be too stingy. I shall show you mine as well."
