Chapter 453: The Final Battle
Tang San's breakthrough into godhood meant that the dark origin will had also returned to its peak.
Once restored, there were few in the universe who could oppose it. As long as Ei did not appear, the entirety of the Douluo Universe belonged to the dark origin will.
"What is that?"
Above the Sun Moon Empire, Qian Renxue and the others arrived. Looking at the figure before them, their eyes widened in shock. "That's Tang San? How does he possess such overwhelming power?"
"It must be related to that black power within him."
Bibi Dong frowned deeply, clenching her fists. Her voice was grave as she said, "But with only the three of us, we cannot possibly match that strength."
"So what then?" Qian Renxue asked a crucial question.
"So we must change the battlefield. It cannot be fought on Douluo Star. Otherwise, the entire star will collapse into dust." Bibi Dong replied firmly.
"Fine, then let it be in the God Realm!"
With that, Qian Renxue's eyes hardened. Golden radiance erupted from her body, condensing into a longsword that slashed mercilessly forward.
Yet facing her strike, Tang San did not even look. He did nothing. The dark origin power surrounding him alone effortlessly neutralized the golden sword.
"He truly is strong!"
Seeing this, Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened, her entire being tense.
No wonder even Kong, a God King, had struggled against him. This power was terrifying beyond measure.
"Darkness shrouds the earth. I am the God of Darkness!"
Under their watch, Tang San slowly opened his eyes. The pressure of a God King instantly erupted outward.
"A God King!"
The three did not hesitate. They quickly departed Douluo Star and flew toward the God Realm.
"You cannot escape. All gods must die. All must become my nourishment!"
Tang San's figure flickered, and with endless dark origin power, he immediately pursued.
By now, the God Realm was fully prepared, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
"He's here!"
The words fell, and the once peaceful, beautiful skies were instantly filled with black qi. Soon after, four figures appeared—Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Yu Yuanzhen, and Tang San, who had ascended by relying on the dark origin power.
"Attack!"
Seeing this, the Asura God, one of the God Kings, was the first to strike. Wielding the Asura Demon Sword, he slashed forward with terrifying force.
"You are not my opponents."
Facing the God King's strike, Tang San's expression remained unchanged. He lifted only a single finger and blocked it.
"Whether or not we are, you'll only know once we fight!"
The five God Kings struck simultaneously, their combined power carrying the purest force of heaven and earth, as though to cut down darkness itself.
At last, Tang San also became serious. He raised both hands, and the dark origin power condensed into a colossal shield.
Boom!
A deafening roar shook the entire God Realm. The heavens themselves split apart, and boundless divine power rained down.
First-rank gods like Qian Renxue had no ability to intervene at such a level, forced to retreat far away to avoid being caught in the clash.
"Today, I will avenge my hatred. First, I'll take your—"
But before Tang San could finish speaking, a power even more ancient and overwhelming erupted from within his body.
"I am the true source of darkness. All darkness shall be my nourishment!"
As the words fell, a mass of black qi burst forth from Tang San's crown. The dark origin will's essence crushed the entire God Realm's deities in an instant.
"This… this is the peak power of the dark origin will?"
The five God Kings' faces turned grim.
They had thought with the God Realm's foundation, even if they could not defeat the dark origin will, at least they could fight it evenly. Yet now, without it even striking, its mere aura had suppressed them utterly. The difference was far too great.
"Senior, why are you doing this?"
Tang San raised his head, staring at the black qi above him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that before he could take his revenge, he would be betrayed from behind by his own ally.
"Why? To devour your power, of course!"
The dark origin will's voice was ice-cold. "I allowed you to live for a time, to taste what it meant to be a God King. And now, as repayment, should you not willingly offer your cultivation and soul to me?"
"No… no, you cannot!"
Fear filled Tang San's face. He turned his gaze forward, shouting desperately, "Save me! Save me! As long as you save me, I will join you to fight against it!"
To survive, Tang San could only pin his hopes on the five God Kings before him.
"No matter what, we cannot allow it to devour further. Otherwise, we will have no chance at all!"
The Asura God spoke solemnly. His most powerful single-target skill erupted forth—
Asura's Judgement!
Boom!
The pressure was shattered, and the five God Kings once again charged forward.
No matter what Tang San had done, or what bargain he had struck with the dark origin will, none of that mattered now. What mattered was that it could not be allowed to devour any further.
"You are my servant, and yet you dare to turn against me? Are you not going too far!"
The black gaze of the dark origin will condensed coldly. With a single hand it blocked the combined strike of the five God Kings, then in one gulp swallowed Tang San below.
"It's over!"
Seeing this, all the gods fell into despair.
They had not been able to defeat it before—now that it had consumed a God King who ascended through dark origin power, how could they possibly resist?
"Darkness, stop!"
At this critical moment, space tore apart. The figures of Kong and Ei appeared within the battlefield.
"The Thunder God King!"
"Kong!"
Hearing the voice, every god turned their eyes toward him.
"Stop? You are not qualified!"
The dark origin will prepared to strike again, but at that instant a brilliant radiance burst forth from within it.
"This is—!"
As that dazzling light spread, all narrowed their eyes.
Whose power could this be, to release such overwhelming light?
"Light…"
Seeing the manifestation, the dark origin will was dazed for a moment. Under the control of the light origin will, it recalled everything that had happened in the distant past.
"You, the universe's origin will, and I—we knew each other long ago…" the dark origin will murmured softly.
"Darkness, if we help you eliminate the universe's origin will, will you then let go?" Kong asked evenly.
"Yes, no problem."
The dark origin will agreed. "So long as you can destroy it, I will relent, and together with Light return to chaos, to preserve balance in the universe."
Hearing this, Kong nodded lightly. He then glanced at the woman beside him. "Wife Ei, do it."
"Alright."
Ei's eyes hardened, and with one swing of her blade, the will born of the universe's depths was annihilated completely.
At that moment, the remaining origin forces also appeared in the God Realm.
Together with the current Light and Darkness, the three thousand origin laws for the first time gathered in full view of the gods.
"It's over."
Watching Light and Darkness vanish into chaos, and the other origins departing swiftly, Kong spoke softly.
"Are you alright?"
He then turned to Qian Renxue and the others with concern.
"We're fine."
Qian Renxue shook her head, indicating no harm.
"Thunder God King, what was all of that?"
The five God Kings came before Kong, still unable to understand. "What was that thing just now?"
At their question, Kong gave a light smile and recounted everything they had experienced over this period—but omitted the truth of his origins.
"I see… and what of the Silver Dragon King?" the God Kings asked thoughtfully, now realizing the situation.
"She has returned to the Douluo Continent."
Kong shrugged indifferently. "Well then, if there is nothing else, we should go back. This whole ordeal has nearly worn me out."
With that, Kong turned without looking back, and together with Ei, Qian Renxue, and the others, departed the God Realm to return to the Douluo Continent, where he lived a happy life alongside his companions.
As for repairing the God Realm, others were more than capable of handling it. They had no need to involve themselves.
