Chapter 479
The Divided Battlefield
Four figures surrounded the Golden Dragon King.
One was a girl with white hair reaching her ankles, whose eyes seemed to hold the flow of time, possessing an ethereal and ancient air.
She simply stood there quietly, and the flow of time around her began to become chaotic.
—The ruler of this era, Istaru.
One of them was a petite girl with flowing blue hair like flames and wearing an imperial crown.
—Ceredra, the God of Law.
A beautiful woman with long black hair, as beautiful as a siren, and with a dignified demeanor.
—Hesse, the goddess of the sea.
The last one was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, with short blonde hair, who looked sacred and beautiful.
—Aglaia, the goddess of romance.
Gu Yuena did not fight alone.
But the Golden Dragon King was truly all alone.
War is imminent.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield in the realm of gods, at the very core stage...
"Come on, Tang San, let's fight!"
Lu Jingming held a uniquely shaped lance made of black and white, its tip pointing directly at the former God-King, whose eyes were bloodshot, whose body was covered in blood, and who had completely fallen into madness.
That lance, half of it, radiated a holy white light capable of creating and healing all things.
The other half is shrouded in a dark, deathly aura that can rob life and reduce everything to decay.
It is the Black Abyss White Flower.
"Kill...kill...kill!! Kill you! Kill all...those who betrayed me!!"
Tang San could no longer hear anything; his mouth was just unconsciously repeating syllables filled with killing intent and resentment.
Within his divine body, the power of Asura was burning wildly in an unprecedented manner.
The Asura Demon Sword in his hand, with its scarlet blade, seemed to have billions of wronged souls wailing and weeping.
That was not an illusion, but the collective resentment of all living beings slain by this demonic sword since its creation.
"Roar--!!!"
With a roar that sounded like a wild beast, Tang San's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The next moment, a blood-red sword aura, ten thousand feet long and purely formed from the laws of slaughter, descended upon Lu Jingming like a blood-red Milky Way falling from the heavens, carrying a terrifying power capable of annihilating all living beings.
This sword strike had no technique involved; it was simply the purest, most primal, all-destroying destructive power unleashed by a god-king in his utter madness.
Faced with this sword strike, which would make any god-king tremble with fear.
Lu Jingming, however, still wore that calm and serene smile.
He gently trembled the black abyss white flower in his hand.
A ring of pitch-black, withering domain, spreading out like ink dripping into clear water, instantly unfolded around him.
The moment that invincible crimson sword energy entered the Withering Domain, the Asura divine power attached to it began to wither, decay, and dissipate rapidly, like a punctured balloon.
When the sword energy finally reached Lu Jingming, its power had been reduced by more than 90%.
Lu Jingming simply flicked the black abyss white flower spear with his fingers.
"clang!"
With a crisp sound, the terrifying sword energy that had once been powerful enough to tear apart the divine realm shattered like fragile glass, turning into countless red specks of light that dissipated into the air.
"Is that all? That's really... disappointing, Tang San."
Lu Jingming shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of amusement and a sigh.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Tang San's madness only intensified after his first attack failed.
His figure appeared in all directions around Lu Jingming as if by teleportation. The Asura Demon Sword in his hand transformed into countless blood-red sword shadows, slashing wildly at Lu Jingming from every tricky and ruthless angle.
Each sword shadow contained terrifying power enough to easily kill a first-level god.
Lu Jingming, however, simply stood still, without moving an inch.
"Thunder and lightning, heed my command."
He said softly.
In an instant, countless purplish-black, violent bolts of lightning, filled with an aura of decay, were born from the void, transforming into an absolute sea of lightning around him.
The countless blood-red sword shadows, upon entering the sea of lightning, were instantly struck by the lightning, crackling and popping. Most of them were broken down into their most primitive energy particles halfway through their journey.
A few sword shadows that managed to break through the sea of lightning failed to even scratch Lu Jingming's black trench coat when they struck him.
"too slow."
Lu Jingming's figure suddenly disappeared from the sea of lightning.
The next moment, he appeared behind Tang San.
"That's too weak."
The Black Abyss White Flower in his hand, with its sacred life-giving end, gently touched Tang San's back.
A vast, yet aggressive divine power, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly surged into Tang San's body.
This was supposed to be a life-giving power that healed everything, but at this moment, for Tang San, who had fallen into madness and whose body was occupied by the power of the Asura God, it was like the most violent catalyst, enough to ignite everything.
"puff--!!!"
Tang San was struck as if by a heavy blow, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of reversed divine blood.
The two divine powers within him, beyond his control, began to attack each other most fiercely.
However, Tang San was, after all, a dual-god king.
"open--!!!"
Despite the excruciating pain, he unleashed his last remaining potential, forcefully expelling the life force that had invaded his body.
"A decent struggle."
Lu Jingming nodded approvingly, but his eyes grew even colder.
"Then, let me show you what true power really is."
He released the Black Abyss White Flower from his hand, letting it float in mid-air.
Then, he slowly raised his right hand.
"Reality is manifested here."
"Key to Destruction - Judgment of Heavenly Fire".
The moment the words fell, a voice that did not belong to this world echoed in the void.
Two ornate, technologically advanced, crimson pistols appeared out of thin air and landed in his hands.
"Boom! Boom!"
Without hesitation, Lu Jingming pulled the trigger.
Two terrifying fireballs, compressed to their extreme and resembling miniature suns, shot towards Tang San with long trails of flame.
Tang San's pupils shrank sharply. From those two small fireballs, he felt a "heat" and "light" powerful enough to completely incinerate him.
He dared not be negligent, crossing the Asura Demon Sword and the Trident of the Sea God in front of his chest, and pushing his divine power to the limit.
"Boom—!!!!"
In the realm of gods, it seemed as if two suns had risen at that moment.
Endless light and heat swept across the entire battlefield.
Tang San's figure was once again blown away by the terrifying explosion. His God King Armor was already burning red-hot, and in some places, it even showed signs of melting.
However, this is only the beginning.
"The Key of Devouring - Star of Eden".
Lu Jingming's voice rang out again.
The Heavenly Judgment has vanished, replaced by a deep blue sphere.
He aimed the Star of Eden at Tang San, who was still in mid-air and had not yet regained his footing.
"Gravity will crown you."
"Om-!"
An invisible yet irresistible terrifying force instantly descended upon Tang San.
The space around him suddenly twisted and collapsed.
The terrifying gravity, powerful enough to crush a planet, caused even his mighty god-king body to groan and creak under the immense pressure.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Tang San frantically channeled his divine power, attempting to resist this strange and powerful force, but his body was still being pulled uncontrollably toward the singularity created by Eden Star.
Just then.
"The Key of Restraint - The Oath of Judah".
Lu Jingming's voice rang out for the third time.
A gigantic cross, shimmering with golden light, appeared out of thin air and hovered behind Tang San.
The next moment, countless chains made of pure energy burst out from the cross, as if they had a life of their own, binding Tang San, who was struggling against gravity, tightly.
These chains not only bound his body, but also sealed his divine power, causing his proud Asura divine power to become malfunctioning at this moment.
Gravity, the seal, and the Black Abyss White Flower, hovering nearby, a symbol of life and decay, watching with predatory intent.
Lu Jingming, all by himself, completely suppressed a dual-god-level god-king.
And on the edge of the battlefield.
The Demon Emperor, who had been cut in half at the waist by Tang San's sword, was slowly healing his broken divine body at a visible speed, thanks to the continuous replenishment of power from the Pantheon.
There was no retreat in her eyes, only an even more determined killing intent.
She was waiting, waiting for the perfect opportunity to deliver the most fatal blow to Tang San.
……
Meanwhile, on another battlefield.
Facing the icy sword mark that separated heaven and earth from the Mirror Flow, the God of Evil Ji Dong and the God of Kindness Lie Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Who exactly are you? And why are you invading my divine realm?"
Ji Dong asked in a deep voice, as the black and red demonic fire condensed in his hand into a leaping flaming longsword.
"You can't get through this."
Jingliu's answer was simple and direct.
"Insanity!"
Ji Dong and Lie Yan stopped wasting words.
The two, as protagonists of the same world, were of one mind and cooperated perfectly.
The two attacked simultaneously, one black and one gold, two flames representing evil and good, perfectly merging together in mid-air to form a chaotic gray-white pillar of fire containing two opposing attributes, which then bombarded Jing Liu.
This attack was the strongest combined attack technique they had ever unleashed together as a couple.
It is enough to make any god-king of the same level temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
However, Jingliu didn't even lift his eyelids.
She simply and slowly raised the sword in her hand.
Then, move forward and give a gentle flick.
In that instant, in Ji Dong and Lie Yan's perception, the entire world lost its color.
All they saw was a cold sword light, its brilliance indescribable and its trajectory incomprehensible, that appeared.
That sword light seemed to transcend time and space.
When they saw the sword light, the sword light had already struck.
The gray-white pillar of fire, powerful enough to incinerate the divine realm, was neatly split in two the instant it came into contact with the sword light.
The cut was smooth as a mirror, with no energy loss whatsoever.
Immediately afterwards, the sword light in the void split into two, then into four, and finally into endless, dazzling sword shadows like a blizzard.
Each sword strike contained a chilling aura that could freeze everything, and unparalleled, flawless swordsmanship skills.
"Jingle bells—!!!"
Ji Dong and Lie Yan were instantly engulfed in a storm of attacks.
They could only fight with all their might, wielding their weapons to fend off the endless sword shadows that came from all directions.
These two mighty god-kings were completely suppressed at this moment by a woman whose name they didn't even know, using pure, unadorned swordsmanship.
They couldn't even muster a single decent counterattack.
Because no matter from which angle they try to retaliate, there will be at least a dozen more cunning and deadly sword lights that will preemptively block all their attack routes.
This woman doesn't fight with brute force; she is the embodiment of swordsmanship.
……
On the battlefield of the Golden Dragon King, the situation was even worse.
"boom!"
Just as the Golden Dragon King shattered the colossal wave stirred up by Heather with his dragon claws, the Time Slowing Domain controlled by Ishtar descended, making his lightning-fast movements appear as slow as slow motion.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuena's silver dragon spear, imbued with the power of elemental annihilation, pierced his chest fiercely.
"Pfft!"
Golden dragon blood splattered out.
Before he could retaliate in anger, Cerberus's sword of judgment, made of law, had already silently appeared above his head and crashed down.
The Golden Dragon King could only roll on the ground in a sorry state, narrowly avoiding the attack.
However, a small section of his dragon horn was still cut off.
This is an utter disgrace.
He, half of the Dragon God, the embodiment of power, was besieged and suffered such a miserable fate.
……
"this……?!"
In the distance, the Heavenly Emperor Tianhen, the Immortal Emperor Hailong, and other neutral otherworldly god-kings exchanged bewildered glances as they witnessed these scenes.
"Should we... intervene?"
Death God Adai asked somewhat hesitantly.
"Intervene? Help whom? Help the Douluo God Realm?"
The Heavenly Emperor Tianhen gave a bitter laugh.
“We are not related to them, and now I can no longer distinguish between friend and foe.”
Just as they were hesitating.
"Yo, long time no see. Well, for you guys, it should have been not long ago." (End of Chapter)
