The Golden Dragon King's titanic golden wings unfurled, blanketing the entire Forbidden Land.
Sharp spines jutted from his head and chin, running down his back to his tail.
A casual flick of his spiked tail shattered the remaining sealing pillars.
The tail, covered in spikes like a giant mace, made it easy to imagine how terrifying being struck would be.
His towering body was the perfect symbol of violence and destruction.
Now, his ruby vertical pupils snapped open, filled with endless savagery.
Just his presence warped space-time, golden light gathering over his body and forming a dazzling gold divine ring.
"Roar!"
A joyous dragon roar echoed across heaven and earth. His wings spread wide, lifting his massive body into the sky.
Every movement distorted gravity, space groaning under the load.
This was the God Realm, where space was far tougher than the lower realms.
With such a vast form, if the Golden Dragon King didn't restrain himself, he could destroy a realm instantly upon descending.
He was the ultimate embodiment of destruction and power—the Golden Dragon King, half of the Dragon God, and this universe's first Herrscher of Rock, perhaps the Herrscher of Star.
"Gods grant me jade boots, gravity is my foundation. The heavens fall, the earth shatters—I am the King of Destruction!"
For some reason, as the seal broke, the Golden Dragon King shouted these words, his mind overflowing with destructive urges—perhaps unaware he was subtly influenced, but his terrifying presence was undiminished.
His blood energy crashed down like a tsunami, crushing the Forbidden Land—ultimate proof of physical strength.
In terms of sheer physical might, few in the universe could rival the Golden Dragon King.
Dragons were famed for their bodies, and he was the ancestor of power.
Hearing this, the God of Destruction's face darkened. If you're the King of Destruction, what does that make me?
"How did this happen? The Golden Dragon King really broke free!" The Goddess of Life was incredulous.
What had happened? The seal was intact and had been reinforced. Now the Golden Dragon King broke out so suddenly, catching them off guard.
"No matter what, he cannot leave the Forbidden Land or the God Realm will be devastated!"
Sea God Tang San, holding the Sea God Trident and fully armored, stared at the Golden Dragon King warily.
He hadn't fought the Golden Dragon King before, but knew he was more terrifying than even the God of Destruction.
Tang San couldn't even defeat the God of Destruction—how could he face the Golden Dragon King? Any mistake could doom the God Realm.
Not just Tang San, but all the God Kings, Seven Deadly Sins Gods, Seven Elemental Gods, God of Emotion, Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu, God of War, Phoenix God, and others arrived, encircling the Golden Dragon King.
Only first-class gods or those with such power could participate, and even then, that was just the minimum.
The true core power was the five God Kings—though the God of Emotion also had God King-level strength.
"Good! Come, I'll kill you all and tear the God Realm to pieces!"
The Golden Dragon King's eyes blazed with hatred and madness.
Sealed for countless ages, he was now crazier and more terrifying than ever, his destructive aura making all shudder.
"He's even stronger than before?"
Compared to the newer God Kings, the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life, as the original God Kings, had fought him before and knew his strength well.
Previously, his body and blood energy exceeded ordinary God Kings, but he hadn't been this monstrous.
Even after all these years, they'd grown stronger, but still couldn't match him.
"Roar!"
The Golden Dragon King flapped his wings, shattering space itself. Cosmic storms poured in through the rifts, raging across the God Realm.
The Goddess of Life immediately acted, a giant phantom life tree covering the realm, emerald divine power guarding all.
"Attack! He must not be allowed to rampage or the God Realm is finished!"
Tang San swung his trident, unleashing the Golden Thirteen Strikes with all his power.
The God of Destruction, putting aside his feud with Tang San, wielded his Destruction Scepter, summoning annihilation lightning to strike the Golden Dragon King.
But the lightning only left charred marks on his scales, unable to pierce them.
The Evil and Kindness Gods unleashed ultimate yang and yin fire, forming black and white pillars aimed at the Golden Dragon King.
But unlike the Sea God, Destruction, and Life—who had super artifacts—the Evil and Kindness Gods had no such weapons, so their combat power was lowest among the God Kings.
"You two are weak! I remember your auras."
The Golden Dragon King's eyes fixed on the Evil and Kindness Gods, remembering those who had sealed him, but noticing the Asura God's power now present in a woman.
He ignored the fire attacks, swinging a claw that radiated terrifying gravity, twisting space.
The Evil and Kindness Gods quickly retreated, not daring to take that hit.
"Unstable Turbulence!"
Tang San wouldn't let his allies get hurt. His golden power froze space for a moment, halting the Golden Dragon King's attack long enough for them to escape.
The God of Destruction, annoyed that the Golden Dragon King ignored him, gathered purple destruction power. His scepter summoned a black thunder sun, crashing down to annihilate the Golden Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon King didn't dare be careless. Golden light enveloped him, gravity waves forming a massive collapsing sphere to counter the black sun.
Their clash was silent. A black ring spread, knocking down weaker gods.
Only first-class gods remained standing amidst the shockwave.
The Forbidden Land was now a void, erased from the map.
If not for the Goddess of Life's timely intervention with her super artifact and true body, the devastation would have been far worse.
Now, only the Forbidden Land was obliterated.
Tang San's expression was grim.
He knew the God of Destruction's power, which was why he always sought more faith and fortune to grow stronger.
If he couldn't surpass the God of Destruction, he could never truly rule the God Realm.
He had double godhood, with the Sea God's position elevated to God King and the Trident now a super artifact—his divine power rivaled Destruction's.
But in terms of spiritual strength and battle experience, he lagged far behind the ancient God King.
Seeing the God of Destruction and Golden Dragon King's might, Tang San knew he had to seize Douluo's fortune or he'd never truly control the God Realm.
