Douluo I World.

The imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Emperor Xue Ye paced anxiously around the palace.

"What if the Silver Dragon King attacks the Heaven Dou Empire? What would we do?"

Seeing the Silver Dragon King return victorious, the people of the Heaven Dou Empire looked grim.

They had thought the Silver Dragon King was only going to test the waters.

Instead, she had returned with her injuries healed and her strength even greater!

What were they to do?

But one of the ministers below spoke up.

"Why worry, Your Majesty?"

"Lord Phainon is still in the Heaven Dou Empire, right here in Heaven Dou City."

"No matter how powerful the Silver Dragon King is, would she dare invade?"

At those words, Xue Ye suddenly saw the light.

That was true!

He had once thought it beneath the royal family for Xue Qinghe, as crown prince, to lower himself and befriend a clothing store owner like Phainon.

Now it seemed the crown prince had a keener eye than he did.

If the crown prince could win Phainon over completely, the Heaven Dou Empire might one day dominate the entire continent and throw off Spirit Hall's control.

The thought filled Xue Ye with ambition.

He gave the order.

"From this day forward, Lord Phainon's clothing store shall be the most honored place in the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"No one is to cause trouble there!"

"And from now on, the royal family shall commission all its clothing from that store!"

The ministers answered in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The other powers, including Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, also realized how important this was.

And the solution was to win Phainon over!

Spirit Hall.

Qian Daoliu gave a wry smile.

"I never thought I'd have to rely on my granddaughter!"

He had once thought sending Qian Renxue to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire was a mistake.

Now it seemed that wrong turn had led them straight to the mark.

Meanwhile.

After the battle with Lygus.

People across every Douluo timeline believed the Aeon Universe far surpassed the Douluo Universe in strength!

That left them fearing for those who would challenge Iron Tomb.

Then the Starry Sky Battlefield appeared again.

Amid a chaotic mist that radiated destruction.

Iron Tomb's enormous mechanical body loomed in and out of sight. An eerie purple glow shone through him; he looked coldly rational and terrifying, without a trace of emotion.

On the other side.

The pillars of light surrounding Yun Ming and the other four were like ants beside Iron Tomb in sheer size.

At the sight, everyone held their breath.

At least Lygus had looked like someone they could talk to!

Iron Tomb said nothing. He was like an ice-cold killing machine!

Just then, the Sky Curtain changed.

[As Iron Tomb is too powerful, the challenge has been adjusted. All five participants will challenge Iron Tomb together.]

Everyone: !!!

"Now they have a chance!"

"I can believe one God King might not beat Iron Tomb, no matter how strong he is!"

"But two God Kings, a First-Level God, a Plane Master, and a Quasi-God? Surely they can win?"

Hope flared in everyone's hearts.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San beside him and said,

"Little San, I wonder what reward your future self will get."

Yu Xiaogang had already begun to imagine it.

If God King Tang San received a reward, surely Yu Xiaogang's counterpart in that timeline would get a share too?

Tang San nodded as well.

As far as he was concerned, no matter how terrifying Iron Tomb was, he could hardly stand against the righteous force of five people ganging up on him!

Even the Silver Dragon King had been crushed by Lygus, but that had been one-on-one!

Five against one—surely they couldn't lose?

Phainon's Clothing Store.

Qian Renxue and the others all turned to look at Phainon.

Phainon was speechless. "Why are you looking at me?"

Qian Renxue chuckled. "Because you know your stuff. We're hoping you'll talk us through it."

Phainon sighed. "If they're not strong enough, a few more people will only be more lambs to the slaughter."

Everyone sucked in a cold breath at his words. Was Iron Tomb really that terrifying?

At that moment.

The Sky Curtain's countdown began.

It started at ten!

Iron Tomb seemed to stand there blankly, without the slightest reaction.

On the other side.

The Destruction God King raised an eyebrow.

"Tang San, we'll fight our own battles. Stay away from me."

At those words, the five split into two groups.

The God of Wrath moved straight to the Destruction God King's side.

Tang Hao and Yun Ming stood with God King Tang San.

God King Tang San said gravely,

"If we don't join forces, we'll never defeat Iron Tomb."

"Don't be so arrogant, Destruction."

The Destruction God King snorted. Even if he lost, he would never work with Tang San!

Tang San had no choice but to draw Tang Hao and Yun Ming to his side.

They might come from different timelines, but in his eyes, any extra strength was welcome.

Now that he had felt the pressure radiating from Iron Tomb, Tang San held no hope of an easy victory.

"We'll have to give it everything we have."

When the countdown reached zero, everyone was fully armed.

Tang San held the Sea God Trident, clad in blue-gold armor and looking every inch a mighty warrior.

Rings of golden light flared around him, brimming with divine power, and each one swept toward Iron Tomb!

This was the Sea God's most powerful binding skill!

The strongest divine binding technique in the Divine Realm!

Boundless Wind Wave!

Once caught by Boundless Wind Wave, even a First-Level God could not break free within ten seconds.

Tang Hao and Yun Ming unleashed all their power to support the attack.

On the other side.

The Destruction God King and the God of Wrath stood still, watching Tang San and the others with cold eyes.

Even they would not dare take Boundless Wind Wave head-on.

Now they would see what Iron Tomb was made of!

But the next moment, everyone froze.

The golden rings closed around Iron Tomb's massive body—and shattered!

Tang San stared blankly. "How is that possible?"

Then Yun Ming's and Tang Hao's attacks struck Iron Tomb, producing only two metallic clang, clang sounds!

Iron Tomb had taken no damage at all!

At the sight, the Destruction God King's fighting spirit only burned brighter.

He wanted to know which of them was stronger: himself or Iron Tomb, this Emanator of Destruction.

However powerful Iron Tomb was, he still stood beneath the Aeon of Destruction!

If he could not even defeat Iron Tomb, wouldn't that mean the Aeon of Destruction had left him far behind?

And Iron Tomb's ability to withstand Tang San's Boundless Wind Wave proved he was worthy of fighting him.

Circles of black-purple light rose around the Destruction God King, layer upon layer!

His black-purple will of destruction seemed to change the very color of the starry sky!

Enormous bolts of black-purple lightning fell, pounding Iron Tomb without pause.

This was the Destruction God King's Nirvana Divine Thunder. A single bolt in the mortal world could destroy cities and mountains.

Yet when that terrifying attack struck Iron Tomb, it did nothing.

Even a God King's attack was useless!

Let alone that of the First-Level God, the God of Wrath!

Iron Tomb was completely unscathed.

People across every timeline were dumbfounded.

God King Tang's binding had failed, and the Destruction God King's divine thunder had failed. How were they supposed to fight?

Iron Tomb seemed enraged. Terrifying pressure radiated from the center of his body.

Seeing this, Tang San threw caution aside and shouted again.

"Destruction! If we don't work together now, we'll fail this challenge!"

The Destruction God King gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Just this once."

At those words, hearts leaped across every timeline.

The two God Kings were finally joining forces!
