Longcang Has No Gods? Two Super Divine Artifacts Revealed! Gangzi, Put On Your Clown Nose! Offense and Defense as One!

Ma Hongjun spun around, spread his arms, and roared, his voice echoing shrilly through the sea winds:

"From beginning to end, aside from showing off those lifeless objects, has that Sky Screen ever announced a single god watching over Longcang Continent? No! Not one!"

"And what about us?!"

He thrust a finger toward the heavens, then jabbed viciously at the bloodstained steps beneath his feet, his face contorted as he challenged the sky:

"Lord Sea God ascended to the Divine Realm ten thousand years ago! He's a true First-Level Main God! Billions of living beings prostrate themselves before him!"

"Even if we concede everything else! Even if your lofty plane will has such high standards that you look down on a First-Level Main God and even mock him...

That only holds true from the perspective of your supreme will!

For the Douluo Plane, for its countless mortal beings,

A First-Level Main God is the unreachable heaven whose every word becomes law! A true supreme existence standing above all else!"

The more Ma Hongjun spoke, the more righteous he felt:

"We have a true god watching over and protecting us from above, and beneath him, we originally had the High Priestess, a level ninety-nine demigod,

With Sea Dragon, Sea Horse, and all seven Sacred Pillar Douluos standing guard! Eight titled powerhouses in total!"

"When it comes to divine legacies, who in the Douluo Plane can rival the purity of Sea God Island's?

When it comes to top-tier titled combat strength, what sect in this world can produce eight peerless powerhouses in one breath?!"

"Even that doesn't qualify us for the rankings? Even that has to be erased with a stroke of the pen, forcing us into the Douluo mainland as some kind of vassal?!"

Ma Hongjun threw back his head and howled in fury, recklessly roaring into the Sky Screen Livestream Room's public channel:

"You're just using the Sky Screen to settle personal grudges! Your judgment is unfair! You treasure lifeless things made by mortals, yet trample a true god into the dust!"

"The whole plane is watching! On what grounds do you leave us off?! On what grounds?!"

Boom!

Through the Sky Screen, every word of his unbridled barking reached the billions of living beings throughout the Douluo Plane!

An eerie, deathly silence instantly descended over the entire continent.

"Hiss-!"

"That stupid pig... does he really want to die?!"

Below the steps, Dai Mubai's hair stood on end. He lunged forward and clamped a hand over Ma Hongjun's still-spewing foul mouth, his eyes filled with horror:

"Fatty! Shut your damn mouth! Do you even have a brain?!"

"Didn't you see what just happened?! Even the Sea God himself in the Divine Realm had his Divine Core cracked open by that divine lightning, and his rank was lowered!

Even the High Priestess was stripped of divine favor and reduced to a cripple!"

"What the hell are you?! A mongrel phoenix who barely reached the threshold of Soul Saint by stuffing yourself with medicinal herbs,

And you dare challenge the heavenly dao will in front of the whole plane? Do you want all of us buried alongside you?!"

Dai Mubai was both terrified and furious. On the stone steps nearby, Tang San slowly lifted his blood-smeared face.

Violet surged deep within his eyes as he stared fixedly at that unreachable sky.

Though he had not hurled hysterical abuse like Ma Hongjun, boundless venom and resentment likewise seeped through his tightly clenched teeth.

Fatty's words were crude and vulgar, but rough words could still carry sound reasoning!

Tang San had spent half his life immersed in Tang Sect Hidden Weapons and the Mysterious Heaven Skill, painstakingly crossed the sea, and endured the torment of the god trials!

All of it had been to inherit the Sea God's position as a First-Level Main God and shine throughout the ages!

Yet now, the Sky Screen had not only casually dismissed the Sea God as worthless, but the backlash from the god trials had nearly killed him outright on those stone steps!

It was as though, before the eyes of the entire plane, it had smashed Tang San's cherished "great path to godhood" into the mud and viciously ground it beneath its heel!

"External things... nothing but external things..."

Tang San panted hoarsely, a glint of icy malice flashing through his eyes:

"No matter how you twist black into white, Sky Screen... only martial souls and divine power are the rightful foundations of this world!

Without a god presiding over it... a mortal empire is ultimately no more than flowers in a mirror, a moon reflected in water!"

Meanwhile.

The Sky Screen Livestream Room's public comment feed was instantly drowned beneath a deluge of mockery and derisive laughter!

[Sun Moon Empire · Dean of the Royal Soul Tool Academy: Pfft-! Hahahaha! What the hell did I just hear?! Where did this wild-chicken Soul Master come from, spouting such nonsense?]

[Sun Moon Empire · Master of Mingde Hall: Mere clever tricks? Did this Shrek idiot miss the Sky Screen demonstration just now? Is his skull stuffed with soul beast feed?!]

[Spirit Hall · Platinum Bishop: I'm dying of laughter! The Sea God's divine core has been demoted to second-level, and he's still shouting about the Sea God above?]

[Heaven Dou Emperor · Xue Ye: Such an arrogant fool who knows neither heaven's height nor earth's depth had better stop calling himself a Soul Master of my Heaven Dou Empire! My Heaven Dou has no room for a death-seeking madman like him!]

Inside the great hall of the Longcang Imperial Capital, the water-mirror projection displayed every detail of Ma Hongjun's ridiculous appearance before the assembled ministers.

Uncontrollable laughter exploded throughout the hall!

"Hahahahaha! Oh, damn, I'm going to laugh my teeth out!"

The Golden Crocodile King laughed as he rubbed his belly. "What did that fat red-feathered bird just say? That we 'have no gods'?

That we 'rely entirely on Soul Tools'? And that the Sea God is an unreachable existence to them?!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sneered repeatedly, folding his arms across his chest, his eyes filled with cruel amusement:

"Unreachable? Back then, that bastard Poseidon skulked through the sea, cutting corners with the faith of humankind. He had to strain every muscle just to blind one of my eyes!

And for ten thousand years, those divine servants he left in the mortal world have cowered on their island, not daring to take even half a step into the open sea!"

"Now that the heavenly dao has cut him down to a Second-Level God, those brats are still worshipping that rotten signboard like an ancestral tablet?

Utterly hopeless worms at the bottom of a well!"

Ye Canghai leaned against the beast-headed armrest, idly turning a slightly cool teacup between his fingers.

Through the water mirror, he watched the indignant Ma Hongjun on the Sea God's steps and the dark-faced, teeth-grinding Tang San. The curve of his lips carried a faint, indifferent hint of a smile.

"Mortals always measure the boundless great dao with the little understanding they possess."

Beside him, the chief Soul Engineer, the Great Sage, spoke as casually as though appraising an ant:

"In their eyes, a false god who borrowed a little incense faith to float up to the upper realm and guard a gate, bound so tightly by its rules that he doesn't dare take a single step into the mortal world, is already the ultimate destination."

"It isn't the Sky Screen they refuse to accept. They simply cannot believe that the totem they've spent their entire lives kneeling before...

Doesn't even have the right to stand and speak before the true great dao."

Just as Ma Hongjun's wild claims sent an earthshaking uproar through the entire plane-

High above the nine heavens, the Sky Screen that had just unleashed the Dao-Destroying Tribulation slowly stirred its vortex of chaos.

A heavenly voice, colder and grander than before, thundered down over Sea God Island!

As though pitying the madman's ignorance, the chaotic vortex violently rolled back, revealing a golden divine radiance that pierced straight into the plane origin!

Hum-!

The heavenly voice of the great dao delivered no further judgment. Instead, it flung a trump card before the billions of beings across the Douluo Plane, one that could leave even gods breathless!

[All mortals are blind, recklessly declaring, "Longcang has no gods; its inheritance is hollow."]

[Hereby revealed: the foundations safeguarding Longcang Continent-two Super Divine Artifacts!]

Rumble!

Every word was branded like divine gold across the vault of the entire Douluo Plane!

Before the living beings could recover from the dizziness brought on by the words "Super Divine Artifacts," an immense image unfurled across the main screen!

There hovered two indescribable objects above the highest heavens of the Longcang Imperial Capital.

Even through the Sky Screen's curtain of light, the ripples of laws they emitted pressed against the spatial barriers of the entire Douluo Plane, making them groan beneath the unbearable weight!

[First Super Divine Artifact: the World-Suppressing Dragonspine Stele!]

[Power analysis: the Longcang Divine Emperor personally seized the plane's core and the first wisp of primordial black-and-yellow mother qi from the dawn of the era, then extracted the Ancestral Dragon's spine and forged them together with his own hands!

It ordinarily hangs in the void a hundred thousand feet above the imperial capital. Within it lies a formation of boundless creation, forming a miniature world of primordial chaos unto itself and opening an independent system!

Absolute banishment and return to the void! Those below level one hundred are unqualified even to touch it; even level-one-hundred gods who touch it are reduced to nothingness!

Even if a First-Level Main God burns away his origin to unleash an all-out strike, it is merely dust crashing into a black hole in the void, instantly swallowed by the mother qi and assimilated as nourishment!

Impervious to all arts, an absolute barrier! Drawing upon the plane's ancestral veins, it eternally anchors the empire's immense fortune through countless generations!

It fixes time and causality, locking the empire's fortune into "eternal prosperity"!

So long as the stele remains unbroken, the imperial dynasty shall not fall. Even if eras collapse and the universe returns to zero, Longcang's fortune shall forever stand at the summit!]

[Second Super Divine Artifact: the Heaven-Splitting Mad Dragon Halberd!]

[Power analysis: a world-destroying weapon born within the singularity of the universe's return to oblivion and final end, tempered with the origin of destruction and the killing intent of an era!

When the halberd manifests, the nine heavens lament, and twilight falls upon the gods!

Concept-level erasure of existence! Wherever its edge points, it ignores all matter and defenses!

Its laws of destruction do not shatter the flesh. Instead, they follow the river of time, causality, and fate to utterly evaporate the target's "existence" from past, present, and future!

Its radiance sweeps across the heavens, instantly tearing through endless planar barriers and crossing the seas between multiverses!

A single thrust pierces a god's immortal divine body, shatters his divine core, and annihilates his true spirit, denying him rebirth for all eternity. Even the core of the Divine Realm cannot resurrect him and restore him to his position!]

One defended, impervious to all arts, securing fortune forever; level-one-hundred gods were not even qualified to breach its defenses.

One attacked, destruction at its ultimate extreme, its edge peerless; poised against its blade tip was none other than "the remnant soul of a higher god"!

One anchored an era's fortune, beyond the reach of all arts; the other severed causality and reincarnation, putting gods to death.

At the center of the Sky Screen, the powers of these two devastating weapons were laid out with stark clarity. Finally, a cold verdict of the great dao descended:

[Planar assessment: offense and defense as one, fortune shining in unison. Nothing short of a supreme divine court may be compared with it.

These are supreme treasures of rules at the level of creation and final annihilation, surpassing the Divine Realm. Lesser gods who behold them can only kneel and kowtow!]

At that very moment, the most ridiculous, toe-curlingly embarrassing scene in the entire Douluo Plane was unfolding in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The wind was rather cold.

Beside the stone table before the imperial audience hall, Yu Xiaogang still held the pose he had struck while waving his filthy sleeves and spraying spittle.

Just a few dozen breaths earlier-

A ridiculous spectacle of universal cheering and celebratory applause had still been playing out here.

Yu Xiaogang had held his head high and puffed out his chest, receiving the reverent worship of the assembled officials.

And now...

As though every bone had been pulled from his body, Yu Xiaogang stood rigidly in the middle of the white jade steps.

His chin, previously raised so high it had nearly snapped his neck, now hung halfway toward his chest at an utterly absurd angle. All color drained from his sallow, gaunt face within half a breath, leaving him looking like a corpse freshly dug out of the mud!

Two Super Divine Artifacts?

Offense and defense as one? Made specifically to kill God Kings?

Yu Xiaogang's mind was utterly blank. Aside from a piercing ringing, he could hear nothing at all.

It was as though this absurd reality had fitted the tip of his nose with an enormous, ridiculous clown nose, red enough to drip blood!
