A sacred aura rippled, and a brilliant ocean of starlight suddenly erupted from behind Lei Chen.
Lei Chen's appearance shifted; his long red hair shortened into the Super Saiyan style, his spiked hair and eyebrows turned blue, and his pupils glowed with a faint, eerie azure light. His surrounding aura was sacred and bright, scattered with stardust-like particles.
This aura was incredibly fluid, undulating slowly on the outer layers and swirling with bubble-like energy.
Lei Chen's energy level plummeted rapidly from 480 quadrillion to zero, yet the power within his body had reached 960 quadrillion.
"Super Saiyan God Blue?"
Beerus looked at Lei Chen's state with a strange expression.
"This isn't just an ordinary Super Saiyan God. This is a Super Saiyan among Super Saiyan Gods, far more powerful than the standard form. Its strength is several times that of a regular Super Saiyan God. I call it Super Saiyan God Blue."
Before Beerus could react, Lei Chen's fist appeared right before his eyes.
The next second, Beerus was sent hurtling from the starry sky down to Earth like a streak of light.
BOOM!
The entire planet trembled, making it seem as though a massive earthquake were imminent.
As the tremors ceased, a crater over ten thousand meters in diameter had formed in the ground.
Beerus stood up from the pit, looking disheveled, his eyes flashing with cold light as he brushed off his clothes.
"A Super Saiyan God Blue that surpasses the ordinary Super Saiyan God, you say? Heh, now this is interesting!"
Instead of being angry, Beerus laughed. A purple radiance emanated from his body, and the muscles on his arms began to swell, his physique becoming significantly more brawny than before.
Beerus condensed a unique purple energy in his hand; if this energy were to touch the Earth, the planet would be instantly destroyed. This was the power Beerus possessed as a God of Destruction—true divine power.
Locked in Beerus's gaze, a sudden sense of threat rose in Lei Chen's heart—a feeling of inescapable danger.
If I can't dodge it, then...
Just as this thought crossed Lei Chen's mind, Beerus's Destruction energy surged toward him.
"Be destroyed, Super Saiyan God!"
"What!"
"Lei Chen, hurry and dodge!"
Just as everyone believed Lei Chen was about to perish under Beerus's energy blast, they felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but cry out.
The battle, which had previously seen Lei Chen with the upper hand, had suddenly taken a drastic turn.
"Damn it, why won't that idiot Lei Chen move!"
Vegeta said angrily. He couldn't believe Lei Chen would die so easily; even if Beerus's energy blast was powerful, Lei Chen shouldn't be defeated so effortlessly.
Just as Lei Chen was about to be struck by the Destruction energy, he and the blast vanished in an instant.
A moment later, a cry of pain erupted from where Beerus stood.
"Argh!"
Beerus looked on in shock, his entire body wreathed in purple energy.
"This... this guy!"
Even though this Destruction energy blast was his own and he hadn't used his full power, being struck by his own attack—redirected by Lei Chen's Instant Transmission—was far from a pleasant experience.
As the purple energy slowly dissipated, Beerus glared at Lei Chen, who had reappeared before him, with a grim expression.
"Space Divine Power. I never expected you to have reached the Realm of Gods."
Beerus said coldly.
"Indeed, but it still pales in comparison to your Destruction Divine Power!"
Lei Chen replied with a faint smile. Though he appeared composed, the moment had actually been incredibly perilous.
Beerus's mastery of Destruction Divine Power was far more profound than Lei Chen's mastery of Space Divine Power.
This Destruction energy transcended the bounds of space; once locked on, the power of destruction would pursue its target to the ends of the universe, leaving no possibility of escape—not even with Lei Chen's Instant Transmission.
Knowing this, Lei Chen realized that since he couldn't dodge, he had to lead the attack back to Beerus.
He made a dangerous decision: he used his Saiyan Divine Power to envelop Beerus's Destruction energy. Although it was swallowed by the Destruction energy in an instant, it was enough for Lei Chen to teleport along with it to Beerus's location.
That was why Beerus had been struck by his own attack.
"Lei Chen's Instant Transmission was actually able to carry away such terrifying energy. How much effort must he have put into that technique to achieve this?"
"This Super Saiyan God Blue, which is even stronger than the regular Super Saiyan God, is just too incredible!"
Son Goku watched the transformed Lei Chen with excitement, wishing he could take his place and fight Beerus. However, he didn't know that Lei Chen was currently panicking, unsure of his next move.
While he had managed to catch Beerus off guard with Instant Transmission this time, such a trick wouldn't work every time.
Lei Chen appeared relaxed on the surface, but his eyes were locked firmly onto Beerus.
"Haha, I'm getting more and more excited now!"
Beerus laughed out loud, and suddenly, a surge of purple energy poured out from his body, instantly enveloping him.
Beerus made his move once again, and this time, it was his first proactive attack.
In the next instant, a terrifying boom echoed through the sky as Beerus utilized his immense power to send Lei Chen flying.
Damn, he's so fast, and his strength is incredible!
The moment Lei Chen's body was sent flying backward, this thought flashed through his mind.
Since my speed can't keep up with you, then I'll use Instant Transmission!
As soon as this thought crossed Lei Chen's mind, his retreating body vanished in an instant.
Whoosh. Beerus's lightning-fast assault began.
The two men transformed into streaks of light of different colors.
A flickering blue light and a divine purple glow engaged in a high-speed battle above the Earth.
Of everyone present, only Whis could clearly follow the movements of Beerus and Lei Chen.
As for the others, even Son Goku could only hear the constant sounds of battle from the sky, left completely stunned.
Bang!
With a violent collision, Lei Chen stumbled. The moment he reappeared, Beerus forced him back with a punch, causing him to stagger a step backward.
Damn it, his speed is too fast; I can't see him at all. Even if my Instant Transmission is fast enough to outpace him, he has completely seen through my movements!
Lei Chen thought to himself with a bitter smile.
