The battlefield was split into two separate areas of intense combat. Da Ming was the first one to make a move. He charged toward Electrolux with blue lightning dancing between his palms. As he moved, he released his Slowing Domain.
The domain expanded quickly, pulling Electrolux deep into its reach. Inside this space, everything felt like it had come to a complete stop. Time and space seemed to freeze, making every movement feel heavy and difficult. Even the flow of spirit power within a person's body almost stopped moving entirely.
However, this domain did not affect Da Ming at all because he was the master of it. He moved freely, his hands opening and closing with great speed. He gathered his spirit power until it became thick and solid.
It felt as heavy as a mountain as he swung his fists down, trying to crush Electrolux into the ground. Even though the laws of the Douluo Plane forced his power down to the level of a Limit Douluo, Da Ming was not a normal master. He had once been a God Officer in the God Realm.
Having reached that level before meant he had a perfect understanding of how to control his energy. This control was why he had stayed on top during the few times he had fought over the last ten thousand years. At this moment, he felt very confident that he would win.
But then, something unexpected happened. Inside the Slowing Domain, Electrolux began to move. Nine gray spirit rings appeared around him all at once. Inside those rings, many Soul Skill Modules began to glow as they were activated.
This was the first time the Spell Cultivator showed his true strength. He did not need to chant any spells or spend time preparing his energy. With just a single thought, he released a massive number of Ninth-Rank magic spells. These were spells he had changed himself so they would work with the laws of the Douluo World.
He cast Necrotic Sky Curtain twelve times in an instant, covering the entire area in darkness. Then, he cast Eternal Ice Coffin nine times to lock onto his target. Finally, he used Great Light Divine Judgment, stacking the spell thirty-six times to create a massive explosion.
There was no pause between these attacks. He threw out these high-level spells as if they cost him nothing at all. The Slowing Domain was a very powerful ability. If someone used it at its maximum potential, it could even stop time for the whole world. But it was clear that Da Ming was not strong enough to do that yet.
The area was covered in explosions and light. Da Ming saw the attacks coming, and because of his domain, they looked slow to his eyes. But even though they were slow, there were so many of them that he simply could not dodge.
In an instant, spells of opposite elements crashed into him like a violent storm. The magic was so strong that it ripped through his Slowing Domain and hit his body directly.
Da Ming's eyes widened in shock. This level of power was much higher than what a Limit Douluo should be able to do. He had to use his physical strength and the small amount of divine force he had left just to stay alive.
He wondered what kind of monster he was fighting. Usually, a Limit Douluo would run out of spirit power after using such big attacks. But his opponent did not seem tired at all. His spirit power felt like an endless ocean. It was impossible for someone to keep using high-level spirit abilities like this without slowing down.
On the other side of the battlefield, Er Ming was also busy. He released his Gravity Domain, which pressed down on Kong Deming with heavy force. Then, a bright yellow light exploded from Er Ming's body.
His spirit power grew stronger, and he threw a punch that looked like it could shatter a mountain or split the ground open. Kong Deming did not panic. He was the best example of a Body Cultivator.
His blood and energy were as strong as a dragon's. A silver light wrapped around his skin, and his muscles looked like they were made of shiny platinum. He didn't try to hide or move out of the way. He met Er Ming's attacks head-on, matching every punch and kick with one of his own.
A loud booming sound filled the air, sounding like constant thunder. The sheer physical force of their hits created deep cracks in the earth. Er Ming looked horrified. He realized he was being beaten in a contest of pure strength.
This was supposed to be the thing he was best at. Even worse, he was losing while Kong Deming was stuck inside his Gravity Domain. Er Ming was a Titan Giant Ape. Even if his spirit power was stuck at rank ninety-eight because of the world's rules, he shouldn't be losing this easily.
Kong Deming did not give him any time to recover. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed his Silver Moon Divine Light Hood. This was his special spirit tool that had merged with his Silver Moon Spirit. He didn't use it to protect himself.
Instead, he pulled at it as if he were dragging the actual moon down from the sky. It turned into a small, glowing silver moon in his hand. He swung it down like a giant warhammer, filled with cold and destructive energy.
The ground shook as three types of power hit at once: spirit power, physical strength from his blood, and the power of his spirit tool. Er Ming felt his blood shake inside his chest. He was knocked backward and tried to raise his arms to block.
As he did, he felt his bones cracking and saw blood starting to spray from his skin. He couldn't believe it. He had always been told that Soul Engineers were physically weak and bad at fighting up close. This man was proving that wrong.
Both Da Ming and Er Ming were now being completely suppressed by their opponents. They could feel a real threat to their lives. If the fight kept going this way, they were going to die. Da Ming's face turned very dark.
He had hoped they could win, but now he saw no way out. He could also sense three more powerful auras watching them from far away. They were all at the Limit Douluo rank, and two of them were coming toward the battlefield very fast. There was no more time to wait.
Da Ming made a choice. He roared out to his brother to break the seal. Er Ming roared back in agreement. At that moment, a special seal inside both of their bodies broke apart.
They tried to keep their power hidden, but a small amount of true divine energy began to leak out. This was the divine force that Tang San had put into them during a divine test after taking his thoughts out of their minds. It wasn't a lot of power.
Tang San had tried to hide the energy so nobody would know it belonged to him. It wasn't even as strong as a Second-Class God's power, and it was even weaker because of the world's suppression. But it was enough for what they needed to do.
A bright blue and gold light rushed out from them like a huge wave. Huge ghosts of their original beast forms appeared behind them. Their energy levels started to climb higher and higher.
They both punched out at the same time, finally breaking the pressure that Electrolux and Kong Deming had put on them. The force of their punches pushed the two men back a few steps. This created a small opening for Kong Mingan, who was being protected behind the brothers.
They knew they only had three breaths of time. The Douluo World does not allow gods to exist there. The God Realm has a system that watches all the worlds. If someone becomes a god, the system sends a light down to take them away.
But Da Ming and Er Ming were Spirit Beasts. Spirit Beasts are never allowed to become gods. They had been sent to this world by a God King in a way that was basically illegal. If the God Realm caught them, they would be destroyed.
They had no other choice now. They used the first breath of time to push back Electrolux and Kong Deming. They planned to use the second breath to kill their target and the third breath to run away. Their plan was simple.
They would attack the target to distract the two powerful men in front of them. Then, using the speed from their divine force, they would escape. They attacked with everything they had. Their strikes tore through the air and reached Kong Mingan in an instant.
Electrolux and Kong Deming reacted immediately. They used holy protection and silver moonlight to block the attacks. Just as all the energy was about to crash together right in front of Kong Mingan, everything went silent.
It felt like someone had pushed a pause button on the entire world. The energy, the dust in the air, and the brothers who were trying to run were all frozen in place. Only their minds were still working.
Everyone looked toward the center of the frozen battlefield. A figure in a purple cloak had appeared out of nowhere. There was no doubt about it. A God had arrived. The God of Destruction had come down to the Douluo World.
