War Between Two God Kings

Venti saw it too, of course.

By rights, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing were now members of his Wind Academy, so he ought to lend them a hand.

But he did not intervene. They could not truly die in this trial; at worst, they would be sent out.

If they ever faced a real life-or-death crisis, they could not just say, "Let the wind lead," and expect him to come save them.

As everyone expected, no matter how fast Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing ran, their Soul Power eventually ran out.

With a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on their heels, neither dared conserve Soul Power or Elemental Power. Once both were exhausted, a single Water Dragon Bullet from the Sky Azure Bull Python took them out.

After chasing them all that way, the Sky Azure Bull Python was angry too. He had only meant to drive them off, but they had plunged straight into the beast horde.

In the end, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing had killed fewer beasts than the Sky Azure Bull Python himself.

The furious Sky Azure Bull Python turned his gaze on Spirit Hall's forces. Battle was about to erupt.

Outside, only those who saw it with their own eyes understood how terrifying the battle was.

Corpses lay everywhere. Blood ran in rivers, and severed limbs littered the ground.

Under the influence of the Asura Domain, some Soul Beasts even went mad and tore into their own kind.

It was brutal. Far too brutal.

Even the people of Teyvat could hardly bear to watch.

It was almost on the scale of the Archon War, though its strongest combatants were not quite as powerful.

By now, the gods on both sides had cast aside all restraint.

Bibi Dong was no exception: whichever divine skill covered the widest area, she used it.

Di Tian was speechless. "Is that woman sick? You've killed more than all of us combined!"

Di Tian finally understood what a madwoman looked like. One divine skill from him might kill a thousand people, or ten thousand if they were packed tightly enough.

One Rakshasa divine skill from Bibi Dong killed at least ten thousand.

More than half the human casualties were Bibi Dong's doing.

That crazed woman was simply venting her fury.

After driving Bibi Dong back with a Dragon God Claw, Di Tian looked up at the two God Kings in the sky.

Asura God and Gu Yuena saw that the fighting below had gone far enough. Now it was their turn.

Asura God raised a hand and gave a light wave. The Asura Demon Sword appeared in his grasp.

Gu Yuena narrowed her dragon eyes as elements swirled around her.

She had inherited the Dragon God's command over elements and spiritual power. Elemental Power was like a plaything in her hands.

Asura God raised his hand. The Asura Demon Sword expanded into a hundred-zhang blade and cleaved toward Gu Yuena, wrapped in scarlet killing intent.

Gu Yuena neither dodged nor yielded. Silver light flared in her dragon eyes, and a seven-colored elemental barrier formed before her out of thin air.

The demon sword fell. The barrier shattered on impact, but it stripped away seventy percent of the blow's force.

She stood unmoving. As her skirt billowed, countless elemental orbs appeared from the void and rained down on Asura God like a meteor shower.

"Elemental Torrent."

Gu Yuena spoke softly.

Asura God gave a cold snort and swept his sword across. Blood-red sword energy destroyed half the orbs; the rest struck his Divine Armor, scattering colored light across the sky.

Asura God retreated a hundred zhang, then pointed his sword skyward with one hand. The Asura Domain suddenly contracted, becoming a blood-red pillar of light that descended from above.

"Asura Judgment!"

The blood-red pillar pierced heaven and earth. Gu Yuena looked up, the Light of Destruction reflected in her dragon eyes.

She formed a seal with both hands. Nine elements fused in her palms into a chaos-colored sphere of light.

"Elemental Annihilation."

The two powers collided at the center of the battlefield.

For an instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

Everyone stopped fighting. The Soul Beasts locked in frenzied slaughter and the Spirit Hall Soul Masters resisting with their lives all instinctively threw themselves flat.

Space around the collision shattered inch by inch, exposing the black void. Violent spatial currents swallowed everything nearby.

Di Tian and Bibi Dong abandoned their fight and fled backward.

They had not expected the shockwaves from a clash between God Kings to be enough to injure them.

Those too slow to escape were already reduced to dust.

Across Teyvat, everyone but the gods and Adepti stared at the scene in shock.

They had never imagined another world held beings like these.

The Tsaritsa Anastasia watched Gu Yuena with interest. She was certain she would win if they fought.

But how Gu Yuena controlled so many elements intrigued her.

Atop the ice pillar, the shockwaves from the two God Kings' battle made it sway precariously. Ronava tapped it lightly with a raised hand, stabilizing it completely.

"Such tremendous power. Are these the gods of another world?"

Nahida stood at the edge, watching the shockwaves from the battle below.

As the shockwaves faded, Gu Yuena and Asura God each retreated a thousand zhang.

A trace of silver blood spilled from Gu Yuena's lips, while cracks covered Asura God's Divine Armor.

"Not bad." Asura God licked his lips, the battle lust in his eyes burning brighter. "Again."

He drove the demon sword into the ground. His blood-red domain instantly covered a hundred li.

Within the domain, every Soul Beast's eyes turned crimson. They attacked every living thing around them in a frenzy, and even Spirit Hall's Soul Masters were no exception.

Bibi Dong's expression changed. "Asura God, what are you doing?"

Asura God ignored her. He pressed his palms together, and nine blood-red divine rings appeared behind him.

Each ring held a different Law of Slaughter. With all nine stacked together, his aura surged to a suffocating intensity.

He had learned this from Tang Chen and the Clear Sky Sect's records.

"Ring Detonation!"

At Asura God's words, everyone stood frozen like wooden chickens.

The people of Spirit Hall stared. "Y-you're joking, right? Asura God is detonating his rings?"

In the earlier review, Tang Hao had detonated all nine rings to withstand one of Bibi Dong's attacks.

Asura God was a God King. If he detonated his rings... wouldn't the Silver Dragon King go flying?

This was practically... cheating in plain sight. Fine, take the win!

Feeling his power swell, Asura God let out a blissful breath.

"I meant to save this as a surprise for Teyvat Academy. I didn't expect you to be so difficult!"

Gu Yuena's expression turned grave. She unleashed the full power of her Dragon God Bloodline. Her silver hair became dazzling gold, and dragon markings appeared on her forehead.

Dragon-shaped phantoms of nine elements appeared behind her: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, and darkness. The nine dragons circled her, making her look like a creator god.

"Dragon God Nine Transformations."

At her low cry, the nine elemental dragons roared and charged at Asura God.

Each dragon carried a different elemental law. Wherever they passed, space warped and the earth sank.

Asura God drew his sword and met them head-on. The Asura Demon Sword unleashed nine arcs of sword energy, each colliding with a dragon.

Every collision unleashed an Elemental Storm, grinding Spirit Hall's nearby positions and the Soul Beasts to dust.

Against absolute power, their strategy of swarming the enemy looked like a joke.

They did not even have the chance to get close.

Outside the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang watched Asura God with growing fervor, as though the god were Tang San himself.

Asura God already intended to pass on his position. Surely he would give it to Little San.

When that day comes, Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—I, Yu Xiaogang, will settle accounts with you one by one!
