The Greatest Killing Formation of All Time-The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation
[Whoa, who worships this Asura God? How is he so powerful?]
[The Angel God is worshipped by Spirit Hall, and the Sea God by Sea God Island. But I've never heard of the Asura God.]
[Wait... isn't this just best friends fighting each other?]
[No, it's a lovers' quarrel.]
[Then what does that make Sea God Tang San? A clown?]
[When lovers quarrel, one of their friends always comes to mediate. Then both lovers usually end up resenting them... trust me, I've been there.]
[Hey! Aren't you getting off topic? The point is, Asura God Li Xun had the upper hand. Why did he give it up?]
[Hmph. If I were the Angel God, I wouldn't bother saving those wicked nobles. Let them die!]
Teasing comments kept scrolling across the Heavenly Screen. Below it, every one of the people being discussed felt heat rise to their faces.
At the Heaven Dou Crown Prince's Residence, Qian Renxue stood alone in the hall. When she saw the comments call the Divine War a lovers' quarrel, a blush swept across her delicate face, and the tips of her ears grew warm.
Fortunately, no one else was there. She managed to steady herself, though her gaze kept darting away from the Heavenly Screen.
At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, the atmosphere was entirely different.
Li Xun and Tang San stared at the teasing comments. Both looked uncomfortable, and an indescribable awkwardness hung over them.
Tang Hao glanced at the comments and snorted. "Say, Xun, did you two really take a lovers' quarrel all the way to the moon?"
He turned to Tang San, his tone carrying a warning. "And San, stay out of Xun's family disputes from now on. Husbands and wives quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at its foot. Butt in, and you'll only end up catching blame from both sides. Got it?"
Tang San nodded earnestly, looking innocent. "I understand, Father. I won't interfere in Brother Xun's family affairs again."
Beside him, Li Xun's face burned with embarrassment. His mouth twitched, and he wanted nothing more than to crawl into a crack in the ground.
In the Papal Palace of Spirit City, Bibi Dong frowned at the images on the Heavenly Screen.
Qian Renxue becoming the Angel God was no problem. Deep as the gulf between them ran, Qian Renxue was still her daughter. Her daughter's ascension would lend Spirit Hall tremendous strength, and Bibi Dong could accept that.
What truly weighed on her were the other two gods on the Heavenly Screen.
One was Sea God Tang San, a First-Level God. The other was her daughter's husband, Asura God King Li Xun.
Both were peerless talents who could one day overturn her plans. Should she kill them or win them over?
In the Asura God Temple of the Divine Realm, the First-Generation Asura God turned toward Poseidon and raised his cup with a smile. "Come now, Sea God. Is it so strange that your successor can't beat mine? Here, let's have a drink."
Poseidon remained composed. Through the Divine Realm's screen, he watched the three gods face off on the Heavenly Screen below. He gave a slight nod, lifted his divine cup, and tapped it against the Asura God's. A clear chime echoed through the hall.
"I know the difference in their strength," Poseidon said, his gaze darkening. "What I'm considering is whether we should continue with the plan we made for the lower realm."
The First-Generation Asura God waved a hand. The smile faded from his eyes, replaced by certainty. "No need. The plan ends here."
Watching the situation below shift by the moment, he explained, "Our original plan was to cast Spirit Hall as the ultimate villain while I put a measured amount of pressure on my successor. You would use the war to spread the Sea God's renown, gather faith across the continent, and strengthen the foundations of your godhood."
"But now the Heavenly Screen has revealed the future. All that plotting is pointless."
The Asura God continued with conviction. "My successor, Li Xun, and Spirit Hall's Angel God, Qian Renxue, are deeply in love. They're already on the same side."
"Meanwhile, your successor Tang San has already made the Sea God's name known throughout Douluo Continent. Faith in you has spread to every corner, so your goal is fulfilled. The situation has changed completely. There's no reason to carry out the old plan."
After hearing the Asura God's analysis, Poseidon nodded firmly.
Without further hesitation, he tipped back his cup and drained the rich Divine Wine. Every lingering concern vanished from his clear eyes.
Seeing Poseidon finish his drink, the First-Generation Asura God laughed heartily. "That's more like it. Now we can simply wait for our successors to grow stronger. Then you and I can venture through the myriad worlds together."
[The remnants of divine power on the moon churned wildly, setting every floating fragment of rock trembling.
Their standoff had gone too far for further tests or mercy.
Qian Renxue slowly straightened. The divine might she had held in check erupted! All six pairs of golden angel wings spread to their fullest, every feather blazing with heaven-scorching holy light. Every divine pattern on her Angel God Armor lit up, and her radiant divine domain unfurled for tens of thousands of miles. The tenderness left her eyes, replaced by resolve and bitter sorrow. Her clear, cool voice rang out:
"A Xun, you've forced my hand. I don't want to be your enemy, but I must stop you from descending into darkness! Today, I'll draw on every last bit of the Angel God's divine power. Even if it damages my divine foundation, I'll stop you!"
As her words fell, Angelic Full-Domain Judgment erupted!
The entire void filled with solar holy fire of unbearable intensity. Countless blades of holy judgment took shape, and the divine authority to purify all things pressed down on heaven and earth. This was the Angel God's ultimate Divine Skill, fueled by everything she had built over her lifetime, with nothing held back.
Nearby, Tang San gripped the Sea God Trident, his expression pained. The Sea God Domain expanded without limit, enveloping the surrounding sea of stars. Brilliant blue divine light surged around him, while blood-red light burst from the divine markings across his body. He had already begun burning part of his divine essence.
He looked at his sworn brother, his voice low and hoarse with helplessness.
"Brother Xun, I don't want to attack you either. But your path is too extreme. Don't blame me. Today, I'll use every ounce of the Sea God's power. Even if this battle costs me years of life, I'll force you into submission!"
In an instant, the ultimate technique of the Golden Thirteen Halberds—Sea God's Dusk—finished charging!
The power of the endless seas, ten thousand years of faith in the Sea God, and the very essence of the ocean converged upon the trident. Golden light pierced the stars, and its might threatened to crush the ages. It was Sea God Tang San's strongest killing blow, with nothing held back.
The two First-Level Gods unleashed their full power. Their divine domains merged and their authorities became one as they poured everything into a final combined strike. Its surging might could shatter stars and overturn heaven and earth!
Facing the ultimate assault of his brother and the woman he loved, Li Xun's black robes whipped wildly. All warmth vanished from his dark Asura eyes, and the last trace of reluctance faded with it.
He sighed softly, his dispassionate voice shaking the entire moon.
"Since you're determined to stop me, then die, you two bastards!"
"Watch closely. This is my true power."
Hummm—!!
A trace of Dao resonance emerged from Li Xun's body, carrying a supreme pressure far beyond the Divine Realm's system!
"Four Swords of Zhu Xian, take your places!"
BOOM!!!
Four sword lights that spanned the ages and suppressed gods and demons tore through the void from the depths of chaos!
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword guarded the east, the Immortal Slaying Sword the west, the Immortal Trapping Sword the south, and the Immortal Extinction Sword the north!
The four supreme Super Divine Artifacts took position at the moon's four cardinal points. Terrifying laws of the sword interwove with the Dao resonance of an annihilating formation and spread outward!
Boundless sword energy rampaged in every direction. Dense killing-formation runes blanketed heaven and earth, using the entire moon as the formation's foundation as they expanded at terrifying speed, enclosing it layer by layer!
In the blink of an eye, the greatest killing formation of all time—the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation—opened in full!
Its boundless domain swallowed the entire moon, sealing the battlefield into a separate space.
Within the formation, the laws of the gods failed, their divine authority was suppressed, and their paths were sealed. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation controlled every attack and defense!]
