...The Golden Dragon King grinned hideously, dragging his broken body as he approached step by step.
He looked at Xuan Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, his aura weakened to the extreme. His eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge and the greed of devouring.
The golden dragon spear flickered with a fatal cold light, aimed at Xuan Ming's seemingly defenseless chest.
"It's over!" the Golden Dragon King growled. Without further hesitation, the golden dragon spear, carrying a sharpness that could tear apart the divine soul, lunged forward!
"Puchi—!"
The Dragon Spear pierced through Xuan Ming's body without any resistance.
However, the expected scene of divine blood splashing and the divine soul dissipating did not appear.
The pierced body of 'Xuan Ming' neither bled nor made a sound. Instead, at the moment the spear tip touched it, a burst of extreme ice-blue light erupted!
This light was not hot, but carried an absolute chill that froze the Soul and solidified time and space!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
"Buzz—!"
In an instant, centered on that ice-blue body, an invisible ripple spread throughout the God Forbidden Land!
The originally violent and raging energy storm, the drifting dust and fragments, and even the tyrannical aura permeating the air... everything fell into absolute stillness at this moment!
Time seemed frozen, and space seemed solidified!
The hideous grin on the Golden Dragon King's face froze instantly, turning into extreme astonishment and horror!
He felt his movements, his thoughts, and even the dragon blood flowing within his body become incredibly sluggish at this moment!
A thick layer of ice crystals, emitting an aura of absolute zero, covered his golden dragon spear at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly spread to his arms and body!
"What... is this?!"
The Golden Dragon King roared in his heart, wanting to struggle, but the icy cold contained a strange spiritual shock that made his divine soul feel frozen, making it impossible to effectively mobilize his power!
One of the million-year Spirit Abilities of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Nether Soul Substitute Death!
When Xuan Ming was still in a Mortal body, this skill could create an ice crystal Clone realistic enough to deceive powerful enemies.
After Xuan Ming reached the Divine Rank, especially after condensing his Godhead, this skill underwent a qualitative transformation!
The Clone it created not only possessed an aura and energy fluctuations nearly identical to the original body but also contained a trace of the Law of 'Existence' originating from the Godhead. For a short time, it was enough to deceive the perception of a God King!
Furthermore, the Golden Dragon King was already known for his violence and destruction, lacking reason. At this moment, he was severely injured, and his mind was filled with revenge and greed. How could he carefully distinguish this carefully prepared trap?
The moment the Asura Battle Soul dissipated and Xuan Ming's aura dropped, the real Xuan Ming had quietly swapped places with this ice crystal Clone, which had been condensed in advance and infused with a portion of divine force and a vast amount of Immortal Spiritual Qi!
His true body was hidden within the erupting energy storm and ice mist, waiting for this moment of absolute kill!
"Roar!!!"
The Golden Dragon King let out an unwilling roar, frantically driving his Destruction Godhead as dark golden light attempted to break through the ice seal!
But under his heavy injuries, not even one-tenth of his power remained. Moreover, within that ice seal, there was a trace of the Law of'Stillness' and 'Negation' from Xuan Ming's pure white Godhead!
The ice layer only cracked into tiny fissures; he couldn't break free instantly at all!
The vast ice mist slowly dispersed, and a figure walked out slowly from the depths of the mist.
It was Xuan Ming's true body!
His face was equally pale, his aura equally weak—even more unstable than before—and the light of his pure white Godhead had dimmed considerably.
Clearly, while driving the Asura Battle Soul for the ultimate spirit ring Devouring strike, having to also distract himself to control such a sophisticated Nether Soul Substitute Death Clone was a huge burden on his divine soul and divine force.
But all this sacrifice was worth it.
Compared to the ice-sealed Golden Dragon King, he at least maintained his freedom of movement and a clear will!
In his hand, he held the Blood Spear, which was dim because its spirit rings were destroyed, yet remained incomparably sharp.
The tip of the spear was aimed at the forehead of the temporarily frozen, frantically struggling Golden Dragon King!
"Victory belongs to me."
Puchi—!
The Blood Spear accurately pierced the Golden Dragon King's head. It didn't just pierce flesh but went straight through an invisible barrier, touching the depths of his divine soul core—the dark golden crystal emitting a violent aura of destruction!
The Golden Dragon King's Destruction Godhead!
"Roar—!!!"
The Golden Dragon King let out the most shrill and desperate Soul roar of his life! He could feel a domineering devouring force frantically surging into his divine core through the Blood Spear!
His Bloodline essence, his remaining divine force, his broken Dragon Core, his divine soul Origin, and even the very foundation of his existence—the Destruction Godhead! Everything was being forcibly stripped and devoured!
"No!!! You can't!!!" The Golden Dragon King's divine soul hissed frantically, filled with extreme fear and unwillingness! He felt total annihilation!
At the same time, an indescribably violent destructive energy, like a bursting flood, surged frantically into Xuan Ming's body through the Blood Spear! This was the Golden Dragon King's lifelong cultivation and the essence of the Dragon God's Bloodline! The magnitude of the energy and its tyrannical nature far exceeded Xuan Ming's imagination!
His Meridians, bones, and even his divine soul were enduring a terrifying impact! It was as if countless frenzied dragons were crashing and tearing inside his body!
What was even more terrifying was that along with this power came the Golden Dragon King's destructive will, which condensed all the tyranny and madness of the Dragon God!
This will was like the most vicious curse, trying to erode Xuan Ming's divine soul and drag him into eternal madness and destruction!
"Ant! Destroy yourself along with me!!!" The Golden Dragon King's divine soul let out a final, venomous shriek! He was making a final counterattack; even if his divine soul was destroyed, he would drag Xuan Ming down with him!
However, facing this frantic backlash before death, Xuan Ming's eyes held only a cold calm.
He had anticipated this long ago.
Just as that violent destructive will was about to submerge his divine soul—
A golden god-bestowed spirit ring, emitting a soft, warm, yet supreme power of purification and protection, quietly emerged from beneath Xuan Ming's feet!
The million-year god-bestowed spirit ring of the God of Kindness—the Ring of Kindness!
This god-bestowed spirit ring was not suited for attacking, but it was a supreme power for targeting the divine soul, purifying evil thoughts, and protecting one's original heart!
Even the Golden Dragon King in his prime would have his violent will greatly suppressed when facing this Law of Kindness, which specifically countered negative divine souls, let alone this remaining wisp?
"Buzz—!"
The soft yet firm golden divine light, like a warm tide, instantly enveloped Xuan Ming's divine soul, firmly blocking and wrapping the destructive will that tried to counterattack. Then, like snow melting in the sun, it began to purify and dissolve it!
"No!!! This is impossible!!!" The Golden Dragon King's remnant thoughts let out an unbelievable shriek of terror. "You... how can you still have this kind of power?!"
He couldn't understand why Xuan Ming, after experiencing such a tragic battle and performing such a world-destroying ultimate strike, could still retain such a powerful and highly specific trump card!
This guy... had he not even used his full strength from the very beginning?!
Xuan Ming felt the violent power within his body gradually being purified and guided, along with the Soul-stabilizing effect of the Ring of Kindness. His heart remained as calm as a still lake.
He always followed a most basic principle: when doing things, always keep a trump card. Or rather, keep several.
In the battle with the Golden Dragon King, he seemed to have used all his means—Asura Battle Soul, Dragon Emperor Devouring World, ultimate spirit ring Devouring... but in reality, his true hidden cards went far beyond those.
If the Nether Soul Substitute Death and the ultimate strike just now hadn't worked, he still had the Destructive Divine Light from the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, which was enough to inflict heavy damage on the Golden Dragon King's Soul at close range. He even had the final explosive skill of the abyssal dragon emperor trunk bone—Dragon Emperor Descent!
That would have caused his Dragon Emperor Devouring World power to explode to its limit instantly, briefly increasing all his attributes several times over, enough to turn the tide of battle—though the cost would be severe damage to his divine soul, body, and even his Godhead.
He had many methods and many contingency plans. No matter how it was calculated, the victory of this battle would ultimately only belong to him.
And he kept these Moves not just to deal with the Golden Dragon King.
But also... to guard against the God Realm.
He was never naive enough to believe that those five high-and-mighty God Kings would fully keep their promises.
If they suddenly changed their minds when he and the Golden Dragon King were both wounded, wanting to play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole follows behind... then Xuan Ming wouldn't mind letting this God Realm, which had been peaceful for many years, personally experience something even more crazed and uncontrollable than the Dragon God Rebellion—
The Dragon Emperor Rebellion!
