The Golden Dragon King's massive, ten-thousand-meter-long golden wings spread out, blotting out the sky. The entire Forbidden Zone of the Gods seemed to be enveloped by it. From its huge golden head, sharp spikes protruded from the top and the jaw. The spikes on its head extended all the way down its back to its tail. The golden tail swayed slightly, causing mountains to crumble and the earth to crack. With just one casual swipe, it swept away all the remaining sealed stone pillars. The Golden Dragon King's tail was covered in spikes, resembling a giant flail. It was not hard to imagine the terrifying scene that would occur if one were to be hit by such a tail. Its massive, towering body was the perfect embodiment of violence and destruction.
At this moment, its ruby-like vertical pupils opened, filled with endless ferocity and tyranny. The mere presence of the Golden Dragon King was enough to cause time and space to twist. A golden radiance continuously condensed on its dragon body, eventually forming a brilliant golden divine ring.
"Roar!"
A cry of utter exhilaration echoed through the heavens and earth. Its wings, which blotted out the sky, were fully spread, carrying its ten-thousand-meter body straight up into the air. Every action it took caused gravity to warp, and space seemed to groan under the unbearable weight. One must remember that this was the Divine Realm, where the spatial integrity far surpassed that of an ordinary plane. With the Golden Dragon King's massive size, if it didn't deliberately restrain its power, it would likely instantly destroy a plane upon its descent. This was the ultimate embodiment of destruction and power—the Golden Dragon King, a part of the Dragon God. At the same time, it was also the first Herrscher of the Rock, or perhaps the Herrscher of the Stars, to be born in this universe.
"The gods bestow upon me their divine shoes, stepping on gravity as a rock. When the heavens collapse and the earth cracks, I shall be the King of Destruction!"
For some reason, the Golden Dragon King, whose mind was filled with the desire for destruction and slaughter, roared out these words the moment it broke the seal. Perhaps even it was unaware that it had already been influenced in some way, but this did not diminish the terrifying might that the Golden Dragon King exuded, which shook the entire Divine Realm.
A terrifying surge of blood essence was like a raging tide, directly collapsing the entire Forbidden Zone of the Gods. This was the manifestation of ultimate physical strength. In terms of physical toughness, there were very few in the entire universe who could compare with the Golden Dragon King. After all, the Dragon Clan was famous for its powerful bodies, not to mention the Golden Dragon King, the ancestor of power.
Upon hearing the Golden Dragon King's words, the God of Destruction, who had rushed over, instantly had a grim expression. He thought, If you're the King of Destruction, then what am I?
"How could this happen? The Golden Dragon King actually broke the seal!" The Goddess of Life's face was filled with utter shock and disbelief.
What had happened? The seal on the Forbidden Zone of the Gods had been perfectly intact. They had even reinforced it once before. Yet, now the Golden Dragon King had suddenly broken free, leaving them no time to react.
"No matter what, we can't let him leave the Forbidden Zone of the Gods, or the Divine Realm will be thrown into chaos!"
The Sea God Tang San, holding the Seagod Trident and fully clad in his Seagod Armor, watched the Golden Dragon King, who could warp space with its physical body alone, with a solemn expression. Although he had not personally experienced the battle with the Golden Dragon King back then, he knew that this was a terrifying existence even more powerful than the God of Destruction. Now, he could barely contend with the God of Destruction, let alone face the Golden Dragon King. With a moment of carelessness, the Divine Realm would be in grave danger today.
Not only the Sea God Tang San, but also the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Evil, the Goddess of Goodness, the seven Gods of Original Sin, the seven Gods of Elements, the God of Emotions, the Asura Scabbard, the God of War, the Phoenix God, and a host of other gods all rushed over, surrounding the Golden Dragon King. In this battle, only Tier-1 Gods, or those with the strength of Tier-1 Gods, were qualified to participate. But this was merely a "ticket" to the battle. The true main force that could play a key role would have to be the five God Kings. Of course, the God of Emotions also possessed God King-level combat power.
"Roar! Good, you've come. After I kill you all, I'll tear this Divine Realm to shreds!"
The Golden Dragon King's crimson eyes were filled with endless resentment and madness. After being sealed for countless years, it had become even more insane and terrifying than before. That aura of destruction caused all the gods to tremble and feel a chill in their hearts.
"How is this possible? He's actually become stronger than before?"
Compared to the newly ascended God Kings like the Sea God, God of Evil, and Goddess of Goodness, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were the most ancient existences in the Divine Realm. They had participated in the battle to seal the Golden Dragon King and knew its strength inside and out. The original Golden Dragon King, with its superior physical body and terrifying blood essence, had surpassed the limits of an ordinary God King, but it hadn't reached the terrifying level it was at now. Even after all these years, both the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had grown in strength, but compared to the Golden Dragon King, they were still a step behind.
"Roar!"
The Golden Dragon King fiercely flapped its wings, and space instantly shattered. The space of the Divine Realm was torn apart, and an endless cosmic storm surged in from the rift, sweeping through the entire Divine Realm like a furious beast.
Seeing this, the Goddess of Life immediately took action. The gigantic illusion of the Tree of Life blotted out the sky, enveloping the entire Divine Realm. Her vibrant green divine power was released, steadily protecting the entire Divine Realm.
"Attack! We absolutely cannot let him have his way! Otherwise, the Divine Realm will be finished."
The Golden Dragon King's destructive power was simply too terrifying. If left unchecked, it alone could destroy the entire Divine Realm over time. The Sea God Tang San didn't hesitate to swing his Seagod Trident. Divine power surged as he unleashed the Golden Thirteen Halberds without any reservation.
The God of Destruction also put aside his grievances with Tang San and took out his super divine tool, the Scepter of Destruction. The dark Divine Lightning of Annihilation, wrapped in the aura of destruction, instantly transformed into a sky full of lightning, striking at the Golden Dragon King.
However, the terrifying Divine Lightning of Annihilation only left scorched marks on the Golden Dragon King's golden scales and could not break through the defense of the scales at all.
The God of Evil Ji Dong and the Goddess of Goodness Lie Yan also attacked at the same time. The ultimate Yang fire and ultimate Yin fire instantly ignited the void. Carrying the divine power of the two God Kings, they transformed into two huge pillars of flame, one black and one white, and swept toward the Golden Dragon King.
Unlike the Sea God Tang San, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life, who all had super divine tools, the first generation of the Gods of Evil and Goodness did not pass down any super divine tools. This resulted in Ji Dong and Lie Yan, although possessing God King-level divine power, being at the bottom in terms of combat power among the God Kings.
"God of Evil and God of Goodness, I remember your auras. You're so weak!"
The Golden Dragon King's crimson pupils turned toward the God of Evil and the Goddess of Goodness. Compared to the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and the unfamiliar Sea God, it was more focused on the main forces that had sealed it in the past—the God of Evil and the Goddess of Goodness. Of course, it also remembered Asura, but it did not sense Asura's aura in the Divine Realm. Instead, it sensed Asura's divine power in a woman with a scorpion-tail braid.
The Golden Dragon King completely ignored the attacks of the ultimate Yang fire and ultimate Yin fire. It swung its dragon claw, and the claw carried a terrifying gravity wave. The dark gravity radiance warped space, causing chaos in its wake.
The God of Evil and the Goddess of Goodness's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly retreated. They did not want to personally experience that terrifying blow.
"Boundless Wind Wave!"
The Sea God Tang San would naturally not just stand by and watch the God of Evil and the Goddess of Goodness be severely wounded. After all, they were his valued helpers and juniors. The golden light wave instantly froze space. The Golden Dragon King's super-gravity blow was stopped for a moment by the golden light wave. Although the light wave was quickly broken by the warping gravity, that moment bought valuable time for the God of Evil and the Goddess of Goodness.
"Hmph!"
The God of Destruction snorted. He was very displeased with the Golden Dragon King ignoring him and focusing its hatred on the God of Evil and the Goddess of Goodness. The Scepter of Destruction released a dense purple destructive power. The dark Divine Lightning of Annihilation continuously gathered and compressed. With the amplification of the super divine tool, a black lightning sun, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, pressed down from above, aiming to completely annihilate the Golden Dragon King.
Facing the God of Destruction's all-out attack, the Golden Dragon King did not dare to be careless. A golden radiance instantly covered its entire body, and a terrifying gravity light wave rapidly converged in front of it, forming an equally gigantic super-gravity light sphere. The inwardly collapsing gravity light sphere, carrying a terrifying suction force, went straight to meet the black sun of destruction.
Upon collision, there was no sound. A black halo, with the point of collision as its center, quickly swept across the entire Divine Realm. The weaker Divine Officials, Tier-3 Gods, and even some Tier-2 Gods fell from the sky under this halo. Only Tier-1 Gods were able to barely maintain their flight capabilities under the terrifying aftershock.
At this moment, the Forbidden Zone of the Gods had turned into a pitch-black void. Whether it was the spiritual energy, the land, the forests, or the mountains in the Divine Realm, everything was completely annihilated in the fierce collision of the two God King-level attacks.
The God of Destruction and the Golden Dragon King were both representatives of ultimate attack. The collision of these two super-destructive God King techniques literally erased a portion of the Divine Realm from the map, leaving the Divine Realm with a permanent missing corner. If it weren't for the Goddess of Life who timely used her super divine tool, the Ancient Tree of Life—which was also her main body—to protect the Divine Realm, the aftershock of this destruction would have been even more violent, and the area that was completely destroyed would have been even larger.
Under the protection of the Goddess of Life, only the Forbidden Zone of the Gods suffered this catastrophe and was completely destroyed. Witnessing this scene, the Sea God Tang San's expression became extremely solemn. He had some understanding of the God of Destruction's strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to acquire more faith and destiny to improve his own strength out of fear of the power of destruction.
If he couldn't defeat the God of Destruction, wanting to become the true ruler of the Divine Realm would undoubtedly be a pipe dream. Although he possessed dual godhood and had elevated the position of the Sea God to the God King level, and the Seagod Trident had also been promoted to a super divine tool, his divine power was in no way inferior to the God of Destruction's. However, in terms of the strength of his divine sense and combat experience, there was still a huge gap between him and the God of Destruction. After all, the God of Destruction was a first-generation God King who had been born at the very beginning of the Divine Realm. He was by no means an opponent that a newly ascended God King like Tang San could easily contend with.
However, it was all just speculation before. But after personally witnessing the terrifying power displayed by the God of Destruction and the Golden Dragon King, his resolve became even firmer. He must acquire the destiny of the Douluo Continent to improve his own strength, or else, even if he possessed the key to the Divine Realm's core, he would be unable to truly control the Divine Realm.
