The voice of the God of Evil was flat, yet carried an absolute resolve. "He has come this far, solidifying his divine Godhead and stepping into this final battlefield. Defeat means death. There is no other possibility, and there is no room for discussion."
Poseidon's expression hardened.
The God of Evil continued, "We gave him a choice. If he had chosen to accept the legacy of any God King, whether it was Asura, Destruction, or anyone else, we would have helped him in this desperate situation. But he chose the most difficult path, and now he has to rely on himself."
"Since he has chosen to take matters into his own hands, he should bear the consequences of his actions, whether he lives or dies, succeeds or fails. We will not interfere."
This was the God King's decision, and their final assessment of Xuan Ming, this "anomaly." Whether he would become a collaborator who transcended the rules, or become new nourishment for this God's Forbidden Land like countless fallen geniuses, depended entirely on Xuan Ming's own abilities.
Poseidon remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, his gaze complex as he looked at the seal that seemed to be brewing a storm. He knew the God of Evil was right. This path was Xuan Ming's own choice, and no one else had the right or the ability to interfere.
Now, all they can do is wait. Wait for the battle inside to come to a conclusion.
Chapter 461 The Power of the Super Divine Artifact
Inside the God's Forbidden Land.
Xuan Ming was naturally unaware of the outside discussions and the decisions of the five God King. At this moment, all his attention was focused on the fierce battle with the Golden Dragon King!
By forcibly devouring the divine Divine Power and immortal energy of the Divine Realm through the Dragon Emperor Devours the World, his Asura Battle Soul power has temporarily stabilized at the God King level, enough to directly confront the Golden Dragon King!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each collision between the two colossal beings caused space to collapse and the laws of nature to become disordered!
Blood Spear and dragon claws clashed wildly, Destruction breaths and killing fists collided! Dark golden dragon blood and crimson energy splattered continuously!
The Golden Dragon King went completely mad, unleashing the power of his Destruction Godhead to its limit. His attacks became increasingly ferocious, determined to tear Xuan Ming apart!
Xuan Ming, wielding the Asura Battle Soul, fused and utilized the power of the three divine rings to the extreme. The three laws of slaughter, Evil, and Destruction intertwined, and his offensive was equally fierce and unparalleled!
The battle has reached a fierce stalemate!
For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.
Xuan Ming didn't know what the outcome would be if the fighting continued like this, but Gu Yuena definitely couldn't wait that long.
Therefore, he must act quickly!
We can't delay any longer!
A resolute glint flashed in Xuan Ming's eyes! For Gu Yuena, the stalemate was a dead end! He had to break the balance, even if... at a great cost!
His mind raced, and in an instant, he made a crazy decision!
"Buzz--!"
He no longer merely drew upon the power of the Blood Spear itself, but instead sank his will into the depths of the Blood Spear Blood Spear, connecting with the nine Soul Ring encircling it!
Apart from the three million-year divine rings —Asura, Evil, and Destruction— from the God King, the other six Soul Ring had already been upgraded to over two hundred thousand years by Xuan Ming during his ascension to the Divine Realm and the tempering Godhead his Godhood Tribulation, thanks to the Power of Faith he had accumulated in the mortal world! Each one contained immense energy!
But at this moment, what Xuan Ming needs to do is not to temporarily Soul Devour ring to unleash a burst of power as he has done in the past, but rather... to completely absorb it!
The laws and energy inherent in the Soul Ring are completely fused into the Blood Spear, resulting in a one-time, ultimate burst that surpasses all limits!
This is equivalent to destroying the Soul Ring, causing the Blood Spear to completely lose the support of these Soul Ring!
But now, he can't care about that anymore!
The moment he condensed his Godhead, the Blood Spear itself underwent a fundamental transformation, reaching the level of a " Pseudo Super Divine Artifact "!
The existence of Soul Ring is more of an added bonus.
At this moment, in exchange for the absolute power sufficient to instantly cripple or even kill the Golden Dragon King, these Soul Ring... are worth sacrificing!
Even those three precious God King level divine rings are worth it!
" Ring Devouring... Explode!"
Xuan Ming roared inwardly, his will like the most violent furnace, instantly igniting all the Soul Ring on the Blood Spear!
First, the First Soul Ring, the blood-red halo, trembled violently. Then, like a burning star, it transformed into a pure golden torrent of energy, surging wildly into the Blood Spear! The Blood Spear's sharpness instantly increased, and its ferocious aura soared into the sky!
Immediately afterwards, the Second Soul Ring, the Third Soul Ring... all the way to the Sixth Soul Ring! Six Soul Ring, each at least 200,000 years old, burned and disintegrated in succession, transforming into six golden energy tidal waves that surged into the Blood Spear one after another!
The Blood Spear emitted a groan of unbearable strain, its shaft turning a deep red like a branding iron, countless fine cracks appearing on its surface, as if it might shatter at any moment! But the destructive power it emitted increased exponentially, surpassing the limits of Pseudo Super Divine Artifact!
But that's not enough! To severely damage the Golden Dragon King, even greater power is needed!
" The Ring of Asura! The Ring of Evil! The Ring of Destruction! Merge!"
A fierce glint flashed in Xuan Ming's eyes, and without hesitation, he activated the last three, and most powerful, million-year divine rings!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The three dazzling divine rings, representing the laws of the God King, simultaneously erupted with blinding light, and then, like moths to a flame, they actively crashed into the Blood Spear, merging into the energy vortex that had already reached its extreme rage!
Slaughter! Evil! Destruction! The power of these three supreme laws was forcibly compressed and fused together!
boom--!!!
The Blood Spear let out a deafening roar! It was no longer just dark red, but its entire body presented a chaotic color that intertwined dark gold and blood, and the spear Entanglement with three ultimate laws of slaughter, Evil, and Destruction that seemed to be tangible!
The aura it emitted completely surpassed the previous Pseudo Super Divine Artifact level, reaching the level of a true Super Divine Artifact!
This strike will unleash all of his power at this moment, including the divine Divine Power and immortal energy that he forcibly devoured from the Divine Realm, as well as... the ultimate Sacrifice of all the Blood Spear's Soul Ring!
"Certainly!"
Xuan Ming roared, and the pure white Godhead light erupted with unprecedented intensity, transforming into invisible chains of law that instantly locked the Golden Dragon King, who had just stabilized and was preparing to pounce again, firmly in place! It was an absolute law that " Negation " its movement!
For the first time, a look of horror appeared in the Golden Dragon King's blood-red eyes. It struggled frantically, its body erupting with destructive Divine Power, but it was unable to break free from the strange restraints originating from the pure white Godhead!
In that very instant—
Xuan Ming, wielding the Asura Battle Soul, hurled the Blood Spear, a Super Divine Artifact radiating an aura of Destruction that pierced the heavens, towards the immobilized Golden Dragon King!
There was no sound.
There was only a single, chaotic stream of light that seemed to pierce through time and space.
Wherever it passes, everything is reduced to nothingness, laws cease to exist, and even "existence" itself is erased, leaving behind an eternal trail of nothingness!
The Golden Dragon King let out a desperate and frenzied roar, gathering all his destructive Divine Power in front of him to form a thick, dark golden shield of law!
The next moment--
The chaotic light and the dark gold shield collided silently.
There was no explosion, no shockwave.
Only the ultimate "annihilation".
The dark gold shield melted away like snow under the sun, the Golden Dragon King's roar came to an abrupt halt, and its incredibly massive dragon body, starting from the chest where it was struck, disintegrated inch by inch, turning into the most basic particles, which were mercilessly devoured and annihilated by the chaotic light!
"Boom--!!!"
Only then did the belated, terrifying roar, as if the universe had just begun, accompany an indescribable energy storm and sweep across the entire God's Forbidden Land!
The Asura Battle Soul, towering tens of thousands of meters high, completely exhausted its energy after this attack, flickering a few times like a candle in the wind before vanishing with a bang.
Xuan Ming's true form fell from mid-air, his face as pale as paper, his aura receding like the tide, instantly dropping back to the level of First-Level God, even weaker.
He knelt on the ground, leaning on the Blood Spear whose light had dimmed and whose Soul Ring had been lost, breathing heavily, his pure white Godhead flickering uncertainly.
Before him, the Destruction energy storm slowly subsided.
The Golden Dragon King's enormous dragon body had vanished.
Instead, there was a humanoid youth, over two meters tall, covered in blood and horribly wounded.
He had short, dark golden hair, a ferocious face, and his pupils were still a crazed blood red. He exuded a weak yet still violent aura.
The Golden Dragon King was forced to transform into human form! This meant that it had suffered an unprecedented and devastating blow!
He clutched his chest, which was almost pierced through and still flowing with dark golden blood. His blood-red pupils were fixed on Xuan Ming, filled with lingering fear, rage, and... a trace of relief at surviving a calamity.
"Cough cough..." The Golden Dragon King, in human form, coughed up several mouthfuls of dragon blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his voice hoarse and cold, "Good... very good! Human, no, new god... you almost... really almost killed me!"
He felt a wave of fear as he examined the Divine Power within his body, which had been almost completely shattered, and his severely damaged dragon core.
If Xuan Ming had stabilized his God King Realm and perfected his divine soul, that attack would have meant certain death for him!
"What a pity..." The Golden Dragon King revealed a cruel and ferocious smile, enduring the excruciating pain as he straightened his body.
Dark golden light condensed in his hand, transforming into a Golden Dragon Spear that exuded an indestructible aura!
"You are at your last gasp! But I... this body originating from the Dragon God, can still tear you apart!"
He approached the weakened Xuan Ming step by step, the Golden Dragon Spear pointing directly at Xuan Ming's brow.
"I'll devour you... then devour the Silver Dragon King... and I... will still be the ultimate winner!"
Chapter 462 Victory Belongs to Me
The Golden Dragon King grinned maliciously, dragging his battered body as he approached step by step.
He looked at Xuan Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, his breath extremely weak, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge and the greed of devouring.
The Golden Dragon Spear gleamed with a deadly cold light, aimed at Xuan Ming's seemingly defenseless chest.
"It's over!" the Golden Dragon King roared, and without further hesitation, the Golden Dragon Spear, sharp enough to tear apart the soul, thrust out fiercely!
"Pfft--!"
The dragon spear pierced through Xuan Ming's body without any resistance.
However, the anticipated scene of divine blood splattering and the soul dissipating did not occur.
The pierced body of " Xuan Ming " neither bled nor made any sound. Instead, at the moment the spear tip touched it, it burst forth with an extreme icy blue light!
The light was not scorching, but it carried an absolute chill that froze the soul and solidified time and space!
Click! Click! Click!
"Buzz--!"
In an instant, an invisible wave spread throughout the entire God's Forbidden Land, centered on that icy blue body!
The raging energy storm, the drifting dust and debris, even the violent aura permeating the air... everything fell into absolute stillness at this moment!
Time seemed to freeze, and space seemed to solidify!
The Golden Dragon King's sinister smile froze instantly, replaced by utter astonishment and horror!
He felt his movements, thoughts, and even the dragon blood flowing through his body become incredibly slow at this moment!
A thick layer of ice crystals, radiating an aura of Absolute Zero, covered his Golden Dragon Spear at a visible speed and rapidly spread to his arms and body!
"What's this?!"
The Golden Dragon King roared inwardly, trying to struggle, but the icy cold contained a strange mental shock that seemed to freeze his soul, making it impossible for him to effectively mobilize his power!
One of the Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: Nether Soul Death Substitution!
Even when Xuan Ming was still a mortal, this skill could create incredibly realistic ice crystal clones to confuse powerful enemies.
However, after Xuan Ming reached the God Level, especially after condensing Godhead, this skill underwent a qualitative transformation!
The clones it creates not only possess an aura and energy fluctuations nearly identical to the original body, but also contain a trace of the "existence" law originating from the Godhead, which is enough to confuse the perception of God King level in a short period of time!
Moreover, the Golden Dragon King was known for his rage and Destruction, and his reason was scarce. Now, severely injured and filled with revenge and greed, how could he possibly discern the carefully prepared trap?
The moment the Asura Battle Soul dissipated and the Xuan Ming aura collapsed, the real Xuan Ming had already silently swapped places with this ice crystal clone that had been condensed in advance and infused with some Divine Power and a vast amount of immortal spiritual energy!
Its true form was hidden within the erupting energy storm and icy mist, awaiting this decisive moment!
"Roar!!!"
The Golden Dragon King roared in resentment, frantically activating its Destruction Godhead, its dark golden light attempting to break through the Ice Seal!
However, due to his severe injuries, he had lost more than one-tenth of his power, and within that Ice Seal lay a trace of the true meaning of the laws of "stillness" and " Negation " from the Xuan Ming Pure White Godhead!
The ice layer only had tiny cracks; it was impossible to break free instantly!
The vast ice mist slowly dissipated, and a figure emerged from its depths.
It was Xuan Ming's true form!
His face was equally pale, his breath equally weak, even more unstable than before, and the pure white Godhead light of his divine essence had dimmed considerably.
