Poseidon Gravely Wounded, Destruction Enraged

"Aaaah!!!"

Countless spatial distortions slowly took effect across his body. Poseidon screamed in agony, golden-blue divine blood dripping down. On closer inspection, his arms had twisted at unnatural angles.

Powerful Space Strangulation ravaged Poseidon. His divine soul was damaged, his divine body crumbled, and the divine ring behind him showed faint signs of fracturing. Even the divine light in his eyes began to scatter.

The gods beside Poseidon witnessed the entire ordeal, and their expressions changed.

A mighty First-Level God had been tortured beyond recognition in an instant. Power like this was far beyond that of an ordinary First-Level God!

"Damn it, we can't let this continue!"

The Destruction God King's expression darkened. At this rate, Poseidon would be killed right before their eyes!

In desperation, he hurriedly raised the Destruction Divine Staff, releasing destruction divine power to counteract the spatial power surrounding Poseidon.

Crack! Crack!

But Space Strangulation proved overwhelmingly powerful. The Destruction God King's expression changed drastically. Its strength far exceeded the limits of what the God of Space could wield!

Left with no choice, he increased his power, forcibly suppressing the surrounding spatial fluctuations.

Meanwhile, the Life God King summoned her Super Divine Artifact. Green light surrounded Poseidon, healing his external wounds.

Unfortunately, the injuries inflicted by Space Strangulation were not so easily healed. Though Poseidon's life was no longer in danger, his divine soul and divine ring were both damaged. Recovery would be impossible without hundreds of thousands of years of recuperation.

"Hah... hah..."

Poseidon abruptly rose to his feet, gasping for breath. He had come so close—so close to being strangled to death by space itself.

Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying!

Poseidon truly felt like crying but had no tears. He had thought that with five God Kings backing him, this would be a simple task. He had never expected his opponent to directly affect him while he was in the Divine Realm.

"I never imagined he possessed such powerful spatial power."

The Life God King looked worriedly at the God of Space. "Space, can your power rival his spatial power?"

The God of Space slowly lowered his head. "I'm afraid... it can't. His spatial power is likely above mine. I have no way to resist him at all."

"Then what use are you!"

Evil snorted coldly. "The mighty God of Space can't even match some beast from the lower realm. Go back and reflect on your failings!"

"Yes."

The God of Space dared not say anything more and hurriedly turned to leave. He had wanted to get out of there anyway. That fellow was simply too terrifying. I can't beat him. I just can't!

"Hmph! He's gone too far! I'll descend to the lower realm and face him myself!"

The Destruction God King's patience had reached its limit. He immediately stood and gripped the Destruction Divine Staff, ready to head down to the lower realm and personally annihilate Bei Mingyuan.

"Wait. Let's observe a little longer."

The Asura God stopped him. "Even if you descend now, your strength will only be that of a Second-Level God. You're no match for him. Calm down!"

"Are we supposed to just watch him swagger around the lower realm?"

The Destruction God King's face was full of indignation. "Is our Divine Realm so easy to bully? If we let that beast flaunt his might like this, where is the Divine Realm's dignity? Where is our face?"

The Asura God looked up at the virtual screen and sighed softly.

"Angel God. Rakshasa God."

The two gods froze when their names were called.

The Asura God turned toward them. "I know you each have a Proxy in the lower realm. Have them join the Sea God's Proxy in probing that man."

"Why should we?"

The Rakshasa God curled her lip. "Don't you have a Proxy yourself? Don't tell me he can't act. I refuse to believe the mighty Asura God King has no way around that."

Although she had interfered while the Asura God's inheritor was undergoing his inheritance, causing him to fail his divine trial, the Asura God had severely wounded her for it, and she still had not recovered.

But the Asura God was a God King. Had he intervened, he would have settled it long ago. That bat could never have kept hopping around for long.

"Phew..."

The Asura God exhaled softly. He still needed the Rakshasa God, so he could not act against her for now. "I'll send that man along too. Will that do?"

"That's more like it."

The Rakshasa God knew she could not dodge this. She had only wanted to get under the Asura God's skin.

"I'll urge her to act as soon as possible."

"I will, too."

The Angel God glanced at the Rakshasa God. Her inheritor seemed to have a deep connection with the Angel God's own inheritor.

I can't remain in the Divine Realm. That fellow will fight his way up here sooner or later.

The Angel God secretly made up her mind to leave her divine position behind and retreat after this meeting.

"Even so, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

At that moment, Destruction snorted coldly. A bolt of purple lightning flashed, then was channeled into the lower realm.

The Asura God beside him did not stop him. They held equal rank, and using Annihilation Divine Thunder did not violate the laws of the Divine Realm.

On Sea God Island, Poseidon had been defeated in an instant by that single glance from Bei Mingyuan, and Bo Saixi had been freed from his control as well.

"Ah, how boring."

Bei Mingyuan dismissed the Emperor Armor, and five rays of light once again transformed into his clones.

"That fellow couldn't even withstand a single glance from me. And I went out of my way to combine into the Emperor Armor. What a complete letdown!"

Bei Mingyuan complained.

"Tch! I could've handled him myself, but you just had to stick your nose in."

Bei Miao folded his arms, looking thoroughly displeased. "Now you're acting hard done by after getting all the benefits."

"That's because only the Emperor can use a portion of my power to strike into the Divine Realm."

Bei Mingyuan rolled his eyes. "Can you throw a Raging Waterfall Thrust into the Divine Realm?"

"Tch. I'm not arguing with you anymore."

Bei Miao snorted coldly.

"I'm heading back to the fortress."

Xi Zhao looked up at the Sky Screen. "Those fellows have started attacking the fortress again."

"Hey, let's go together."

Bei Miao draped an arm over Xi Zhao's shoulders. "I'll go join the fun."

"Suit yourself."

"Hey, I'm coming too!"

"See you."

Only Xin Nan properly said goodbye to Bei Mingyuan before following the others.

"Tsk. Look how polite Xin Nan is."

Bei Mingyuan shook his head and turned his gaze toward Bo Saixi.

The massive amount of divine power forced into Bo Saixi had ruptured her internal organs and depleted her divine soul. Unless something unexpected happened, she would lose her life in another fifteen minutes.

"Lord Sea God... how could you..."

Lying on the ground, Bo Saixi shed tears of regret and resentment. She had served her god diligently all her life, never imagining she would meet such an end.

"It seems you expected too much of your Sea God."

Bei Mingyuan slowly crouched before her and tipped up her chin.

"Before becoming a god, he was a mortal too, with all the seven emotions and six desires. Faced with the threat of death, he naturally chose to save himself and abandon someone else. That's human nature."

"Not even gods can escape that?"
