Within the Forbidden Land of the Gods, the towering structure sealing the Golden Dragon King trembled violently, as if affected by an unseen force.
The Sea God's Domain instantly dimmed. With a dragon's roar piercing the sky, the azure Domain shattered completely.
A majestic force spread outward. Xiao Wu, waiting outside the Domain, suddenly changed expression as she saw the Sea God's figure fall from the sky.
The heavens darkened. The divine light of the God Realm was obscured. Myriad Dragons danced together as endless Dragon souls soared around Wang Nan, who stood suspended in mid-air.
Below, near the towering spire, the God of Destruction and the Evil God, who had been conversing with the Silver Dragon King, abruptly turned their heads as they sensed the Sea God Domain collapse. What greeted their eyes was a single figure commanding countless Dragons.
Disbelief flickered across the Evil God's face. Wang Nan's Domain had enveloped the entire Forbidden Land of the Gods. Even the divine force within the Evil God, who stood inside it, became sluggish. The sensation snapped him out of the story he had just heard.
When the Silver Dragon King entered the God Realm and approached the Golden Dragon King's Seal, the Dragon God's will awakened once more. Through the power of the Dragon God's Heart, it recounted a forgotten history to the God of Destruction and the Evil God.
As God Kings governing the God Realm, they had some understanding of what was sealed within the Forbidden Land of the Gods, even if they had not lived through that era. In their understanding, it was an existence that had once attempted to destroy the God Realm.
Yet the Dragon God's will told a different story.
The Evil God remained skeptical. As God Kings, their perception far exceeded that of ordinary gods. When the Dragon God appeared, both he and the God of Destruction could clearly sense that the Dragon God's former strength surpassed theirs. Still, he could not be certain whether the being recounting the past was truly the Dragon God, or a lie fabricated by the entity sealed below.
The God of Destruction's expression grew colder.
Wang Nan's performance had already exceeded his expectations. The Sea God had clearly expended a great deal of power. The God of Destruction was already confident in defeating the Sea God himself, so there was no need to risk opening the Seal of the Forbidden Land.
Moreover, if the one who had spoken earlier truly was the Dragon God, then allowing the Silver Dragon King to succeed was even more unacceptable.
If the Dragon God returned, who would rule the God Realm?
He had schemed to overthrow the Sea God in order to seize control of the God Realm, not to hand it over to the Spirit Beast race.
A faintly mocking smile appeared in the Silver Dragon King's clear eyes. What difference was there between these lofty Gods of the God Realm and scheming Mortals?
In some ways, they were even worse.
Her gaze swept toward Wang Nan in the distance. Tightening her grip on the silver spear, a seven-colored stream of light surged from her body.
"It seems we still must rely on strength," the God of Destruction said, also glancing at Wang Nan and the Sea God. "Are you waiting for your helper?"
"I must admit, your helper's strength has exceeded all expectations. But he has no chance of defeating the Sea God."
His expression grew solemn. "You likely do not understand the Sea God's true power."
"Watch closely. Your helper will soon be defeated. This is the true power of a God King."
As if to validate his words, the Sea God rose from Xiao Wu's embrace. His azure divine attire faded, replaced by a terrifying blood-red hue that spread across his body.
Killing intent surged like mountains of corpses and seas of blood, tearing through space as if it had substance. Behind him, countless wronged souls seemed to wail, and the ground of the Forbidden Land of the Gods turned a deep crimson.
Light condensed around his body, forming armor covered in red blades, brimming with murderous energy.
Beside him, the blood-red Asura Demon Sword slowly appeared.
"Xiao Wu, help me."
"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded, her eyes filled with tenderness. She stepped forward and threw herself into his arms.
Red and blue light flickered violently. One of his eyes turned blue, the other red, as he looked up at Wang Nan in the sky.
As Xiao Wu fully merged into his body, the red and blue lights separated completely. His body became entirely blood-red, while behind him, a massive azure phantom slowly manifested.
Dual Gods Coexisting.
This was the strongest combat state in the current God Realm, the ultimate form of the Sea God and the Shura God.
The Shura God raised his right hand. The Asura Demon Sword followed his motion, pointing directly at Wang Nan. The entire God Realm trembled in response.
As one of the Five God Kings and a cornerstone of the God Realm, his power was a fundamental force that upheld the world itself. With every movement, the entire God Realm answered him.
This was the power of a God King.
Holding two God Positions, the transformation from Sea God to Shura God took only an instant. Wang Nan, who had just struck down the Sea God, was now facing the entire God Realm itself.
Yet this change only caused Wang Nan's battle intent to burn even hotter.
With memories of his past life, how could he be unaware of the Sea God's methods? The moment he broke through into the God Realm, he had already prepared for this outcome.
Divine Skill, Golden Scales.
Jade Dragon Repays the Lord.
Streams of light merged into his divine attire. Intricate patterns resembling neatly arranged dragon scales appeared across his golden armor.
Auspicious cloud patterns spread over his boots. His headpiece transformed into a dragon's head that gazed forward alongside him. Golden light condensed into a cloak that unfurled behind his back.
If heaven and earth were a cage, then it could be shattered. If the God Realm itself was an enemy, then why could it not be defeated?
Wang Nan's figure expanded, bathed in golden light, growing even taller than the azure phantom behind the Shura God. He raised the Coiling Dragon Staff and brought it down with overwhelming force.
The tip of the staff tore across the firmament, leaving an indelible scar upon the sky of the God Realm.
"What's wrong, Auntie Green?"
Elsewhere, the God of Life, who was with Tang Wutong, abruptly halted, her expression shifting repeatedly.
The Shura God's full power had shaken the entire God Realm. As one of the Five God Kings, the God of Life had already sensed the source of that power, the Forbidden Land of the Gods.
Recalling how her husband, the God of Destruction, had been closely monitoring the Forbidden Land, ominous thoughts surged through her mind.
How many beings in the God Realm could force the Shura God to fight with such intensity?
She could only hope the situation was not as dire as she feared.
"Let's go. We're heading to the Forbidden Land of the Gods."
Without hesitation, the God of Life grasped Tang Wutong's hand. Emerald-green light enveloped them as they sped toward the Forbidden Land.
Even gods who could not directly perceive the God Realm's fluctuations as clearly as the God Kings sensed that something monumental was happening.
At the same time, the Goddess of Kindness, another of the Five God Kings, had already begun rushing toward the Forbidden Land of the Gods.
