Shura God Defeated and Reduced to a Ghost Slave!

"AAAHHHHH!!"

The Shura God's screams echoed across the square, but the angel before him didn't pause for a moment. Instead, annoyed by his noise, she swung backhanded and slapped him across the mouth, sending divine blood spraying everywhere.

"Shut up, you good-for-nothing."

Qian Renxue spat the words coldly, then dragged the Shura God away and vanished into the endless darkness.

Douluo Continent, Divine Realm, Committee.

Clang!

The God of Destruction's staff clattered to the floor. Even the God of Goodness covered her mouth, tears spilling from her eyes.

"That was the Angel God's successor?"

"That was the Six-Winged Angel, the symbol of hope and light?"

"She actually turned into a demon?"

If the Shura God's capture had only made them fear the enemy's strength, then Qian Renxue's fall had shattered their very values.

Before the Battle Through the Heavens Plane, their divine power and faith could both be twisted. Nothing was beyond change.

Even the most sacred angel could be stained into the vilest devil.

"What kind of monsters are we really fighting in the Divine Realm?"

Poseidon slumped in his chair, for the first time harboring deep doubts about his own identity as a god.

Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu, who had only just woken up, stared at the black-armored woman on the screen, dragging the Shura God along like a piece of trash.

He looked at the granddaughter who had once nestled in his arms and called him Grandpa, now with nothing in her eyes but slaughter.

"Pfft!!!"

Qian Daoliu spat blood for the third time. This time, his aura visibly withered, and his once-straight back instantly hunched.

"Xue'er, you're really never coming back."

"You don't even recognize Grandpa anymore—"

"Angel God, if you have a soul, open your eyes and look!"

Qian Daoliu fell to his knees before the shattered statue and wept like a helpless child.

Beside him, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others looked at the dark Qian Renxue, who could beat even the Shura God to a pulp. Beneath their grief, they couldn't help feeling a little admiration.

"Grand Worship."

"Although the young mistress has turned dark..."

"Her strength seems to be more than ten times greater than before."

"She's even dragging the Shura God around—"

"Th-this is a kind of invincibility, isn't it?"

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.

Tang San watched the screen, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"The Shura God lost?"

"Qian Renxue fell, too."

"The Divine Realm's strongest enforcer can only be a prisoner in that world, dragged away like a dog."

"Do I still want to become a god?"

"What's the point of becoming a god? So I can go to that world and be Qian Renxue's punching bag?"

At the same time, in the Battle Through the Heavens Plane.

Soul Hall Tiangang Hall, on the square.

"Wait."

Qian Renxue, who had been dragging the Shura God toward the dungeon, stopped at the order from behind her.

The Third Heavenly Venerable hovered in midair, his sinister eyes moving between the half-dead Shura God and the expressionless Qian Renxue. A faint smile curved his lips. "Throwing you into the Soul Banner just like that would be far too boring.

"This old bastard is supposedly the strongest in that so-called Divine Realm. He's got a pretty stubborn backbone."

"Heavenly Calamity, let him go."

The Third Heavenly Venerable pointed a finger. A streak of black light entered the Shura God's body and lifted his seal. "I'll give him a chance."

"Let him fight you."

"If he wins, I might consider giving him a quick death."

"But if he loses—"

The Third Heavenly Venerable let out a chilling, sinister laugh. "Then I'll crush every last bone in your body, pull out your soul, and hang it up as a lamp!"

Clatter!

Qian Renxue released her grip, and the Shura God fell to the ground like a heap of mud.

But he was, after all, the Divine Realm Enforcer, the master of slaughter.

The moment the seal was lifted and he felt the long-lost flow of divine power through his body, the Shura God sprang to his feet!

"Foolish madman! How dare you undo my seal?!"

Though the Shura God was in a wretched state, his face smeared with blood, he was still brimming with fighting spirit.

"I am Asura!"

"I command the Law of Slaughter!"

"Even now, I won't be humiliated by a puppet consumed by darkness like you!"

He glared at Qian Renxue. Blood-red light gathered in his hand, and a somewhat indistinct sword appeared from thin air, still radiating a terrifying aura of slaughter: the Asura Magic Sword!

"Qian Renxue! Wake up!"

"Since you refuse to see reason, I'll strike you awake on behalf of the Angel God, then purge the evil from you!"

Faced with the Shura God's roar, Qian Renxue simply stood there in silence.

The wind lifted her long black hair.

Her pitch-black eyes remained utterly still, as if she were looking at a clown.

"Enough noise."

Qian Renxue slowly raised her right hand. In her palm, a dense mass of black Dou Qi compressed and spun frantically. "My master told me to play with you."

"So let's finish this quickly."

Boom!

In an instant, the battle erupted!

"Asura Judgment, Domain of Slaughter!"

The Shura God struck first!

Knowing this was a fight to the death, he immediately burned his divine blood essence!

A blood-red ring of light exploded from him, instantly engulfing the entire square!

The domain seethed with murderous intent. It suppressed the souls of all living things within it, weakening their strength by at least thirty percent!

"Kneel before me!"

The Shura God roared and swung his sword. A skyful of blood-red light instantly turned into countless vengeful spirits, surging toward Qian Renxue!

But then a sight that left the entire Douluo Continent dumbstruck unfolded.

Within the Slaughter Domain, Qian Renxue not only showed no sign of weakness—she even smiled.

"Killing intent?"

"You call this level of negative emotion slaughter?"

The six Fallen Demon Wings behind Qian Renxue suddenly beat their wings!

"Dark Demon Domain, devour!"

Buzz!!!

In an instant, a wave of black energy, purer and more domineering than the Shura God's, erupted from her body!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Like ink splashed into water,

the red Slaughter Domain, the Shura God's pride and joy, met Qian Renxue's black demonic domain—and was burned through like thin paper in a raging fire!

The black demonic energy wrapped around the Shura God and began devouring his divine power at a frantic pace!

"W-what?!"

The Shura God was stunned. His domain had been devoured instead?

"So this is what you call a law?"

Qian Renxue vanished from where she stood without warning.

The next second—

Whoosh!

She appeared right in front of the Shura God, less than an inch from his nose!

So fast!

Even divine sense couldn't catch her!

The Shura God instinctively swung his sword sideways!

Clang!!!

A deafening clash of metal rang out.

The Shura God felt as if his sword had struck an ancient divine mountain. His palm split open, and blood poured out!

And the weapon blocking his Asura Magic Sword was nothing but Qian Renxue's left hand, clad in black armor!

She had caught the blade of the Asura Magic Sword with her bare hand!

"If this were the old me, this sword would have terrified me."

Qian Renxue stared at the blood-red blade in her hand, her voice icy. "But now that I see it, it's too fragile."

Crack!!!

With a grating snap,

Qian Renxue's five fingers clenched hard!

The Asura Magic Sword, the symbol of the Divine Realm's highest authority of judgment, supposedly indestructible, was crushed to pieces in her grip!

Fragments flew everywhere!

"Pfft!"

The Shura God spat blood again and staggered backward, his eyes full of terror. "You crushed a divine weapon with your bare hands?!"

"How can your body be this strong?!"

"This has surpassed the god level! What kind of power is this?!"

"It's my master's gift."

Qian Renxue gave him no chance to catch his breath and attacked again.

"Xuan Tier High-Rank Dou Technique, Dark Demon Soul-Shattering Claw!"

She turned her palm into a claw. Five ink-black marks gathered on her right hand, and with a shriek that tore through space, she viciously raked them toward the Shura God's chest!

"Not good! Asura God Armor! Protect me!"

The Shura God cried out in terror, red light surging across his body as he tried to defend himself.

But before the Soul Hall's Dou Techniques, the Douluo gods' divine power was nothing but bubbles.

RIP!!

Qian Renxue's claws tore through the Shura God's protective divine light without resistance, shredded the divine armor he had always been so proud of, then plunged deep into his chest!

Squelch!

Five gashes, deep enough to expose bone, appeared in an instant. Golden divine blood sprayed out, staining Qian Renxue's demonic armor and making her look even more bewitchingly terrifying.

"AAAHHHHH!"

The Shura God let out a wretched scream. The tremendous force sent him flying, and he slammed into a stone pillar in the square, shattering the pillar that would have taken ten people to encircle.

A crushing defeat!

An utterly crushing defeat!

From beginning to end, the Shura God couldn't even break through Qian Renxue's defenses. Instead, she crushed his weapon with her bare hands and ripped open his chest with a single claw!

The Douluo Continent fell into dead silence.

Divine Realm, Committee.

The God of Destruction stared at the screen, his body stiff as stone. His mouth hung open, but he couldn't make a sound.

—

The wineglass in the God of Evil's hand had long since crumbled to powder.

"Is that... is that even human?"

After a long moment, the God of Goodness finally spoke, her voice trembling. "Even after becoming a god, she should never have been able to defeat Asura—"

"But she hasn't even used her full strength."

"With nothing but her body and that so-called Dou Qi, she's beating Asura like a dog?"

Poseidon's face was ashen. He dropped heavily to the floor. "It's over."

"Our divine power is far too low-level before that kind of power."

"Just as Soul Power can't beat divine power, our divine power can't beat that world's Dou Qi."

"This is a world where we're utterly crushed at the level of laws!"

By now, on the Soul Hall square,

the battle was almost over.

The Shura God lay amid the rubble, the flesh in his chest mangled, his breath faint.

He watched Qian Renxue approaching one step at a time. The arrogance had vanished from his eyes, leaving only boundless terror.

"D-don't kill me—"

"I'm a God Realm Enforcer. I know plenty of secrets."

"I can surrender. I can be a dog for the Soul Hall."

"Don't kill me."

At that moment, Asura God was no different from Dai Mubai, who had wagged his tail and begged for his life earlier.

In the face of certain death, even gods were nothing but creatures afraid to die.

Qian Renxue walked up to him, looking down on the God King she had once gazed up to.

She slowly raised the foot clad in a black combat boot and slammed it down on Asura God's face!

Smack!

"Surrender?"

Qian Renxue coldly twisted her ankle, grinding her heel into Asura God's face until he let out a muffled, agonized cry.

"Master said you're to be the main soul."

"A dog?"

"You're an old bag of bones, and your meat's too tough. No one would want you, not even for alchemy."

"You'd better just go into the Soul Banner and become a ghost."

With that, Qian Renxue turned and respectfully bowed to the Third Heavenly Venerable hovering in midair. "Honored Elder, the mission is complete."

"He was too weak. Even I couldn't enjoy myself."

"May I extract his soul now?"

In midair, the Third Heavenly Venerable nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Efficient."

"Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Qian Renxue extended her demonic claw and viciously seized Asura God by the crown of his head!

"AAAAAAAH!!"

Amid a scream that made the souls of everyone across Douluo Continent tremble, Qian Renxue forcibly ripped a transparent soul, glowing red, from Asura God's body!

His body hit the ground, reduced to a corpse.

His soul was captured, reduced to a ghost slave.

Divine Realm, Committee Round Table Conference Room.

This should have been the most sacred and majestic center of power in the entire Douluo Plane, the place that governed the fate of countless living beings.

Clouds swirled around it, divine light glittered, and the air flowed with the aura of eternal, imperishable laws.

But at that moment, it was utterly silent.

"Sh-She pulled it out—"

God of Destruction swallowed hard.

"Asura's divine soul. It's condensed from the Asura Laws, an unbreakable soul belonging to a First-Level God."

"And that fallen woman just grabbed it out with one hand, like she was snatching up a chick?"

"Without a divine weapon, without a divine skill, without even using the laws—"

"Just with the strength of her body?!"

God of Destruction stared fixedly at his hands.

The will of destruction he had always prided himself on seemed utterly laughable beside what he had just witnessed.

They weren't playing around with tricks at all!

They were simply using brute strength to smash through everything!

Your laws? Your divine power? Your protective divine light?

Before absolute higher-dimensional energy, they were nothing but a sheet of paper—one poke, and they tore!

"Ugh—"

Beside him, Goddess of Life, usually the most composed and gentle of them all, suddenly clutched her chest and gagged.

The sight of Asura God's mangled face, his crushed nose, and the hollow, lifeless corpse left behind after his soul was extracted battered at her nerves.

"That was so cruel. So terrifying."

Goddess of Life's face was as pale as paper. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks. "Is that how people in that world do things?"

"Killing someone should be quick. They don't just kill people; they destroy their minds, too, and even pull out their souls to use as lamps."

"Our Divine Realm punishes criminals, too, but we have never used methods so evil, so utterly without restraint!"

"Asura was an Enforcer!"

"And now he's become a ghost slave?"

"Gulp."

Poseidon swallowed hard as well, his hand frozen around the wine cup.

He remembered what he had said just a few minutes earlier.

A bunch of ants from the lower realm, nothing special. They could be crushed with a flick of his finger.

Now those words felt like a series of resounding slaps across his face, smacking it until it swelled!

"Ants—"

Poseidon gave a bitter laugh, staring blankly at the ceiling. "So we're the ones who've never seen the world. We're the ants."

"What, Dou Qi is brute force? What, the laws are invincible?"

"Heh—"

Poseidon suddenly started laughing hysterically, the laughter more wretched than tears. "Frogs at the bottom of a well! We're just a bunch of frogs sitting in a well, gazing at the sky!"
