The battle of the gods erupted, divine blood spilled across the heavens and earth, and one god after another was struck down, their vibrant divine cores falling to the ground.
"Collect the divine cores of the Douluo Divine Realm!" Gong Changwei shouted.
Each divine core was formed within the gods' bodies, recognized and granted by the Central Divine Realm. It represented a portion of the Central Divine Realm's power.
By granting this power, the Central Divine Realm significantly enhanced the gods' strength. As long as the Central Divine Realm remained intact, the gods would be immortal. However, the price was that these gods were bound to the realm and compelled to protect it. Gong Changwei's intent was obvious—he aimed to uproot the Douluo Divine Realm entirely.
Qin Emperor Ye Yinzhu responded immediately. His eight fingers danced rapidly across the strings of his zither, sending out musical notes that transformed into hooks, retrieving the divine cores. The other gods—Life and the others—watched in anxious helplessness, but were powerless to intervene.
In terms of god-king numbers, the Douluo Divine Realm was already at a disadvantage. With Destruction imprisoned, they had two fewer god-kings than the opposing side. Furthermore, they had lost the power of the Central Divine Realm. The Seven Deadly Sins Array could no longer be used, the Seven Element Array had long become a thing of the past, and the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms had been lost with the departure of two generations of Asura Gods. The Evil and Kindness Gods were still in the process of reincarnating. Compared to the five god-kings leading the charge, Douluo Divine Realm's strength was clearly inferior.
"Take this!"
The Immortal Emperor descended from the heavens, stepping on seven-colored auspicious clouds, his muscular arms raised as he swung a massive cudgel toward Qian Renxue's head.
"Leave your head behind."
Qian Renxue's twelve wings quivered as she vanished in an instant. Her wings had absorbed both the Goddess of Light Wings she had cultivated since her Soul Sage days and two divine-grade soul bones—the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings. Even among super-artifacts, their quality was top-tier. In aerial combat, she could even overpower the God of Destruction.
In a flash of lightning, Qian Renxue appeared behind Sea Dragon, a flaming golden sword piercing toward the back of his head, aiming directly at his divine core. A destroyed physical body was not fatal to a god-king, who could resurrect through divine will—but if both body and divine core were destroyed, not even a god-king could return.
At the critical moment, a golden holy sword blocked the tip of the Chaos Sword. A large hand swept Sea Dragon away to safety—the rescuer was none other than the Light God-King, Gong Changwei.
"These wings are also a super-artifact... Chaos God-King, why not join us? With your power, it would be a waste to fall here," Gong Changwei said, his Bright Holy Sword clashing against the Chaos Sword, releasing a brilliant light.
Qian Renxue snorted coldly. "Your behavior and that face of yours really remind me of someone."
"Who?" Gong Changwei raised his brows.
"Tang San," she sneered. "Just like you—always pretending to pity the world, mouthing words of righteousness and virtue, but full of selfish schemes. The way you speak, even your face—it's all just like his."
"Tang San? Someone still goes by that name?" Gong Changwei chuckled. "Everyone has both light and shadow within them. I, as the Light God-King, possess no darkness in my heart. But hearing you speak of this man—who was apparently similar enough to be remembered by a god-king like you—it seems that hypocrite called Tang San must've been my dark side. His death, then, was a kind of justice."
"Give up, Douluo Divine Realm. Even with two super-artifacts, you stand no chance against us six god-kings. Do you understand what it means to have a god-king level support?"
The Life God provided healing. Ye Lingling could both heal and attack with spells. Together with Rong Nianbing, she held off two god-kings. Qian Renxue used her two super-artifacts to block another two. Yet there were still two god-kings left on the opposing side—one ravaging Douluo's defenders, and one, Ye Yinzhu, holding the rear.
At that moment, Ye Yinzhu finally looked up with a gentle smile. His eight fingers moved subtly. Suddenly, waves of invisible sound turned heavy and forceful, blasting outward in layered bursts.
Invisible Zither Sword!
Centered on Ye Yinzhu's body, shadowy sword auras erupted from his dark-gold zither. These invisible blades targeted the lower bodies of Rong Nianbing, Life, Qian Renxue, and Ye Lingling—aiming for their most vulnerable points.
"Shameless scoundrel—!" ×4
Life, Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, and Rong Nianbing cursed aloud. They had no choice but to block Ye Yinzhu's music attack, giving their opponents the perfect opening to unleash devastating divine techniques.
Boom! Four massive energy spheres exploded. Life, Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, and Rong Nianbing all spat blood and were sent crashing to the ground.
"Hahaha! Yinzhu, truly worthy of you! You even came up with such a clever trick!"
Ye Yinzhu gave a bitter smile. "Brother Lei Xiang, don't tease me. I just wanted to avoid more casualties and used a dirty trick. Please, everyone, keep it a secret. If my wives find out, I'll be in trouble again."
At that moment, the six god-kings—who had been calm and confident—suddenly froze. Their faces changed as they turned toward the sky, where Ye Lingling had fallen. There, a silver spear rose into the air, stained with a trace of fresh silver blood—Ye Lingling's own, from her earlier wound.
The silver spear trembled and let out a hum. The sky, once dyed in divine colors, abruptly turned black. From the tip of the Silver Dragon Spear, waves of dark, evil, and chilling divine power spread out.
"This is... brother's divine power? Did he leave part of his divine will inside the Silver Dragon Spear?" Qian Renxue looked at the familiar pitch-black power, her beautiful eyes welling with tears.
Qian Renhan had left part of his divine will within both the Silver Dragon Spear and the Golden Dragon Spear—each carrying one of his two martial spirits. The silver one bore the fallen angel's darkness, and the golden one the killing intent of the Asura Sword. These wills would only awaken in times of apocalyptic crisis or when the Qian clan was grievously wounded. Ye Lingling's blood had activated the divine will inside the Silver Dragon Spear. Only the God of Destruction knew this secret—none of the Qian clan did.
The dark divine power transformed into a vortex, pulling in all divine power unleashed by the countless gods in the battle, absorbing everything into itself. The pressure it radiated grew increasingly terrifying.
"This divine power... it's at the Divine Star level! The Douluo Divine Realm actually produced a Divine Star-level powerhouse!"
The six god-kings were visibly shaken. All the invisible zither swords Ye Yinzhu had released were immediately consumed by the black divine power, which only grew stronger in the process.
After devouring all divine power within a radius of hundreds of thousands of meters, the dark energy gradually condensed into a humanoid form—a white-haired, black-robed figure. He gazed indifferently at all the gods of the six divine realms, as if they were no more than thin air.
