The Asura God had kept his right hand pressed against his chest, not merely because of the injuries inflicted by Wang Nan's all-consuming attack, but also to prepare a fatal strike.
Even after becoming a God, Asura never forgot his origins. His ultimate killing moves had always come from the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, the three great secret arts of the Tang Sect, were unleashed simultaneously. A sky filled with Hidden Weapons enveloped Wang Nan, and among them, the most lethal attack was one the Asura God launched by extracting water from the blood flowing from his own chest.
The Tang Sect's ultimate technique: Guanyin With Tears.
Back when the Asura God had not yet ascended, he had used Guanyin With Tears to penetrate the Angel God's defenses, even shattering her heart at one point. Now, as a God King in the God Realm, this Guanyin With Tears, concealed among countless Hidden Weapons, was his final trump card.
Unfortunately, even this ultimate move, which he had never before displayed in the God Realm, was still within Wang Nan's expectations.
On Wang Nan's forehead, chest, arms, legs, waist, and back, several golden points of light ignited. With a series of metallic clanging sounds, a set of golden armor assembled itself over his body.
The sky full of Hidden Weapons struck him with a continuous chorus of ringing impacts, yet none could harm him in the slightest. Even the Guanyin With Tears, upon which the Asura God had placed such high hopes, was halted in midair as the lights on Wang Nan's forehead, chest, and waist flared.
"This is impossible! Your Divine Armor has already shattered!"
The Asura God cried out in shock, but quickly realized that the armor Wang Nan wore was not the same as his Divine Armor.
"That is… a Soul Guidance Device!"
Other gods might not have recognized it, but the Asura God, who had long observed the Douluo Continent, immediately identified the origin of the armor.
Huo Yuhao's gaze also fell upon Wang Nan, a trace of brilliance flashing in his eyes. The armor was a humanoid Soul Guidance Device personally crafted by him.
This Level 10 humanoid Soul Guidance Device had been nurtured within Wang Nan for over a decade and had undergone the baptism of ascension alongside him. By now, it had far surpassed the limits of a Level 10 device. Even when infused with divine force, the Asura God's Hidden Weapons could not leave the slightest mark upon it.
The Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons had ultimately been suppressed by a Soul Guidance Device.
Wang Nan descended step by step from the sky, his Aura growing increasingly restrained. The enormous White Tiger landed beside the Asura God, yet it only stared at Wang Nan warily, no longer daring to act rashly.
Xiao Wu had already embraced Tang Wutong, tears falling onto her daughter's face. The Goddess of Life, not skilled in combat, looked up anxiously. She wanted to intervene, yet seeing Xiao Wu and Tang Wutong beside her, she hesitated, unsure of what she could do.
Streams of light streaked in from every direction. The disturbance in the Forbidden Land of the Gods had drawn the attention of many deities.
Yet when they saw the golden figure standing at the center and the severely wounded Asura God lying to the side, none dared to step forward.
Wang Nan's Aura was subdued, making it impossible to judge his true strength. But the fact that he had defeated the Asura God spoke for itself.
"Alas."
A soft sigh arose among the gathered gods. A red figure stepped forward and approached the Asura God. Behind him, a pair of fiery phoenix wings unfurled.
"Hongjun, you—"
Dai Mubai's voice emerged from within the White Tiger.
"Boss Dai, I do harbor grievances toward Third Brother. I resent that he was unwilling to bring Chenxiang to the God Realm back then. But more than that, it was my own weakness." The Phoenix God closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them, flames burned within. "Even if I lack strength, I cannot stand by and do nothing."
"And us."
A man and a woman stepped forward hand in hand. Their expressions were solemn as they faced Wang Nan. They were the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess.
"Actually, I—"
Looking at them, Wang Nan felt a surge of emotion. However, before he could finish speaking, the Forbidden Land of the Gods suddenly began to tremble violently.
A terrifying Aura erupted from the crack that had previously opened in the ground. Excitement, unwillingness, resentment, and boundless destruction mixed with countless negative emotions surged outward.
With a thunderous explosion, a massive golden Dragon claw gripped the edge of the crack.
Blinding golden light shot into the sky, and a dreadful dragon roar reverberated through the heavens. Several lower-ranked God Officials turned pale, their minds thrown into chaos as the negative emotions seeped into their consciousness.
The crack widened as if forcibly torn apart by the Dragon claw. Amid howling winds, a colossal figure like a mountain burst into the sky. The immense pressure pressed down upon everything. Even the gods felt their hearts grow heavy, and the already wounded Asura God coughed up blood.
Wang Nan turned, frowning slightly, his gaze fixed upon the crack.
He already knew what had transpired between the God Realm and the Dragon God in ancient times. The colossal golden dragon before him was naturally the other half of the original Dragon God, wielding both the Dragon God's might and the power of destruction, along with its tyranny and madness.
However, after so much time had passed, the Golden Dragon King's violent energy should have weakened. The Silver Dragon King, with the Dragon God's Heart and will, should have been able to suppress it, absorb its power, and reclaim the Dragon God Position.
Yet clearly, things had not proceeded smoothly.
Soon, two more figures shot into the sky: the God of Destruction and the Evil God.
Purple lightning crackled around the God of Destruction, and visible cracks marred his Divine Armor. Whatever had occurred beneath the fissure, he had clearly not escaped unscathed.
"God of Destruction, why did you suddenly attack?"
"What a joke. I am a God King of the God Realm. How could I trust the words of an alien race, much less join forces with one to help her gain power?"
"But if she had not intervened, you and I would have already—"
The Dragon God's strength had once shaken the heavens. After the Golden Dragon King's seal broke, the God of Destruction and the Evil God entered the crack, yet they were no match for it.
In the end, it was the Silver Dragon King who acted, suppressing the Golden Dragon King with the Dragon God's Heart and enabling the God of Destruction to escape. But after escaping, he ambushed the Silver Dragon King while she was still restraining the Golden Dragon King.
Whether the Dragon God's past was truth or legend no longer mattered. The God of Destruction was unwilling to allow the Silver Dragon King to fully absorb the Golden Dragon King's power, especially after realizing that even he could not defeat it.
Though the Evil God bore the Evil God Position, he was not truly malevolent by nature. Thus, when the Silver Dragon King intervened, much of his hostility had dissipated. Seeing the God of Destruction's betrayal, however, stirred dissatisfaction within him.
He began to speak in reprimand, but the words died in his throat.
The moment his Divine Sense extended outward, he saw the heavily injured Asura God.
