Asura God, Is the Chaos Demon Lord Soronson About to Strike?

In other words...

This man's strength could rival a God King's?!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

A God King!

That was the pinnacle of divine power!

An existence that stood above every deity throughout the endless ages, looking down upon all living beings!

How could a Soul Master from the lower realm possibly reach that threshold?!

The Sea God stared fixedly at Rey, his chest heaving violently. Then, suddenly, he scoffed.

"I know you're strong."

"But you don't have to use this chance to show off, do you?"

"Are you trying to tell me,"

"That you're a God King?"

He laughed so hard he doubled over, even his charred body shaking.

"Hahahaha! You think I'd believe that?!"

"When the God King comes out to save me,"

"You'll realize just how stupid you're being right now!"

Rey quietly watched his frenzy, the lightning arcs in his eyes unchanged.

"Are all the gods where you come from as arrogant as you?"

"Arrogant?"

The Sea God grinned, his face still wet with blood and brimming with haughtiness.

"You need backing to be arrogant."

"And I happen to have it!"

The moment he finished speaking.

Red power instantly swept across the sky!

Those were not clouds.

It was a boundless tide of scarlet pouring from deep within the rift in the heavens, like an entire sea of blood tipped down from the Divine Realm!

Wherever that crimson power passed, it saturated the clouds, stained the sea red, and dyed even the daylight the color of blood!

A terrifying pressure far surpassing the Sea God's slowly descended.

Sinister and chilling, its killing intent spread across the entire world, inch by inch, like a tangible tide!

All things beneath heaven fell silent under that killing intent.

At the sight, everyone on the Douluo Continent rose to their feet.

Was this... the pressure of a God King?!

Even a distant glimpse through the Heavenly Screen left them drenched in sweat, their legs weak.

Even the Heavenly Screen stretching across the firmament trembled faintly!

"Hahahaha!"

The Sea God threw back his head and laughed wildly, unbearably smug!

"See that?!"

"That is Lord Asura God, who rules over slaughter, the strongest of the Five Great God Kings!"

"He's about to strike. You're dead!!"

Yet Rey merely raised his eyes, quietly watching the rolling crimson clouds sweep toward him.

After watching for a moment, he slowly spoke, his tone even carrying a hint of approval.

"He does have a little more going for him than you."

"But as far as I'm concerned-"

"He's still just a little short."

The Sea God's smile froze, and he stared.

"Would it fucking kill you not to brag?!"

As his words fell, a voice rang out from deep within the red clouds.

The voice was not loud, yet every word seemed to conceal countless strands of killing intent.

"Boy, you're quite arrogant!"

"Not only did you injure one of mine, you dare to mock me like this!"

"Throughout all history-you're the first!"

Rey folded his arms without even lifting his head.

"In a moment, you'll meet the second."

A hearty burst of laughter came from the red clouds, rolling across the sea and shaking ripples across its surface.

"I don't know about a second."

"But you, the first, must die!"

Rey slowly raised his eyes, an arc of lightning swirling within his pupils.

"Asura God, was it? The Sea God said the same thing earlier."

He casually pointed at the charred figure sprawled on the ground, his tone offhand.

"And isn't he still beneath my feet now?"

The Asura God's mood abruptly darkened, his laughter turning cold.

"The Sea God?"

"Even ten of him would be no match for me."

At those words, Rey slowly flexed his wrist, lightning arcs crackling between his knuckles.

"Oh?"

"You make yourself sound so damn impressive."

He lifted his eyes and stared straight into the depths of the red clouds.

"Make a move. Let's see."

The Asura God's voice carried a sinister laugh.

"Very well. Very well."

"Since you're so eager to seek death-"

"Then... I shall grant your wish!"

The instant his words fell.

"Shh-!!!"

A keen edge slowly sliced through the crimson clouds that blotted out the sky, cutting from within!

A sword tip emerged from the opening.

Merely a sword tip, merely one exposed corner!

Yet the entire world abruptly sank beneath its weight!

"Divine skill,"

"Asura World-Destroying Break!!"

"BOOM-!!!"

The red clouds burst apart to either side, fully revealing a blood-red giant sword spanning the heavens!

Its blade was red, blood markings writhing and hissing along its spine like living creatures.

A layer of scarlet baleful energy wrapped the sword's edge, as though it had yet to leave its sheath.

That baleful energy was thick as blood, dripping from the blade into the sea.

Every drop that struck the sea blasted a blood-red crater a hundred zhang across into its surface!

And now, this giant sword that obscured half the sky began to press slowly downward.

It was not cleaving.

It was not slashing.

It was descending-

Like heaven and earth overturning, like the firmament itself had become a sword, pressing slowly, inexorably down upon these waters!

A hundred thousand li of ocean caved in beneath that pressure, sinking until even the trenches on the seabed were clearly visible.

The sword forced the rift in the sky wider inch by inch, the Divine Realm's white light interweaving with Asura's blood-red radiance into a curtain.

Every remaining inch of reef on Sea God Island groaned beneath the unbearable burden.

All living beings in both realms, no matter how far away, felt a sword hanging over their heads.

The sky was about to fall.

This was the foremost of the Five Great God Kings, the ruler of slaughter.

The Asura God's sword-the Asura Demon Sword!

And yet.

Rey did not strike.

He simply stood upon lightning with his arms folded, quietly watching the pitch-black giant sword pressing slowly down above him.

As though watching a performance that had nothing to do with him.

Because before this, a transmitted voice had reached his ears.

It said he would take action!

Relieve a little boredom.

Next, watch him perform.

Those few words alone made Rey set aside the countermeasure he had already devised.

And this utter disregard sent the Asura God, hidden somewhere within the red clouds, into towering fury!

"Very good!"

The red clouds churned, blood-colored baleful energy surging like a tide.

"In your eyes, am I even worse than the Sea God?"

"Not even worth you making a single move?!"

Rey finally lifted his head, glanced at the giant sword accelerating downward, and spoke unhurriedly.

"You're overthinking it."

"Because I told you,"

"You'd meet a second person who would mock you."

"So, your opponent is here."

The Asura God laughed in his fury.

"No matter who comes-"

"They must die!!"

The moment his words fell.

The sky-blotting giant sword abruptly accelerated!

Just then.

An aura of chaos swept in out of nowhere!

Ancient and unfathomable, that aura seemed to flow from the time before heaven and earth had formed, enveloping the entire battlefield in an instant.

Even the descending Asura giant sword faltered under its impact!

At the same time!

Above Rey, space tore open!

Riiip!!

A savage rift stretched across the firmament, and eight crimson crystal wings burst through it!

Each crystal wing was as sharp as a divine weapon, as crimson as blood crystal. The eight wings spread, circled, and spun.

Then an immensely powerful force gathered madly at the center of his eight wings.

Light interwoven with crimson and pitch black compressed layer upon layer.

Deep within that light, the power of chaos slowly revolved!

"Heaven and Earth Return to Chaos!"

"Holy Spirit Reduced to Dust!"

"Chaos Demon Flash!!"
