Battlefield zone.
Countless fragments of stars drifted through the cosmos—all remnants of planets destroyed by the aftershocks of the clash between the two.
Tokisaki Kurumi, Di Tian, and the Asura God looming above them.
"You have lost."
The Asura God did not even gasp for breath. His voice was cold and calm.
"Even among Supreme God Kings, there are ranks from high to low. You are merely the lowest tier of Supreme God King. Compared to an existence like me, the gap is far too wide."
"Your weapon cannot match mine. Your strength cannot match mine. All that awaits you is annihilation."
The Asura God stepped forward through the void, slowly approaching.
The Asura Demon Sword was wreathed in deep dark flames, making him appear in the cosmos like an incomparably terrifying demon god.
"It's over." The Asura Demon Sword slowly rose. Blood-colored aura compressed along the blade. A crisp sword hum rang out, drawing endless laws to converge.
A streak of white light flashed past, carrying a holy aura that the Asura God found repulsive. It swept in front of him and blocked the Asura Demon Sword.
"Clang!"
Along with the Asura Demon Sword, the Asura God was forced back tens of thousands of meters.
It was a longsword entirely silver-white, radiating flowing luster of black and white.
"The Angel Holy Sword?"
Tokisaki Kurumi and Di Tian looked at the divine tool in front of them in shock.
The sword radiating black-and-white energy slowly descended into Di Tian's hand. The moment Di Tian grasped the hilt, he immediately understood the reason.
A long, resounding dragon roar echoed. Di Tian transformed into the phantom of a black dragon and swiftly merged into the Angel Holy Sword.
At the same time, the Angel Holy Sword—flowing with the laws of sacred and darkness attributes—erupted with pressure that continuously climbed higher.
"Damn it!"
The Asura God also reacted. He roared furiously, "Damn Dragon God, damn Silver Dragon King—are you still trying to stop me even now?"
He sensed that this sword's dimension had begun evolving upward from super-divine tool status, actually reaching the same level as his own Asura Demon Sword.
"Die!" The Asura God flew into a rage and swung the Asura Demon Sword.
Blood-killing aura and various laws coiled around the blade before exploding outward.
Vast law-formed energy began spreading outward.
Time and space seemed to freeze in an instant.
The gathered divine power formed a terrifying shockwave that swiftly sealed off the area Tokisaki Kurumi could lock down.
"Time and space have both been sealed."
"Sigh… I clearly told them to leave, yet they didn't go. Do they really think I have a chance of winning?"
Tokisaki Kurumi exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"I'm not good with swords, but this might be the last time."
She gripped the twice-strengthened Glazed Holy Sword.
"Divine Might Spirit Dress—Emperor of Time!"
A gigantic clock formed behind her. The hands slowly turned.
"This is the final one!"
"No need to imitate Ning Rongrong's moves anymore. Let's see how this one works."
"Life-and-Death Arena—Time-Space Severance!"
"Clang!"
Black and red energy collided.
Centered on the point of impact, everything around became utterly silent.
The cosmic space seemed to lose all color.
Moments later, chaotic laws converged into an invisible shockwave that expanded in all directions.
This power enveloped everything. Any existence it touched would be completely obliterated—even gods seemed unable to escape.
The erupting law energy swept outward, crashing toward Tokisaki Kurumi and the Asura God.
"Pfft!"
Tokisaki Kurumi, who had used her sword to resist the aftershock, spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Asura God merely swept his Asura Demon Sword horizontally and dispersed the incoming aftershock.
Through the range of the explosion, he noticed Tokisaki Kurumi's condition.
A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of the Asura God's mouth:
"Even with something surpassing a super-divine tool, you are still no match for me."
"Silver Dragon King—symbol of the Dragon God's wisdom—you are nothing more than this."
Suddenly, the Asura God's throat surged. He violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Asura God clutched his chest, eyes wide, pupils contracting nonstop. His face turned terrifyingly dark:
"You… Tokisaki Kurumi—you actually managed to sever what I sent out!"
"Ara ara, you're right about that!"
Tokisaki Kurumi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, panting heavily. Her cheeks were sickly pale.
"Your past also contains my existence. Since that's the case, I can still sever part of your power—even injure you."
"You got careless, Asura God."
"You… you…"
The Asura God could feel his power beginning to decline.
159… 158…
Finally, it stopped at level 155.
"Damn it, damn bastard."
"How dare you sever my cultivation—I want you dead!" The Asura God was furious beyond measure. Surging killing intent poured out like a tidal wave.
"Past, present, and future—it seems you're just like the Dragon God. You can't truly achieve it, including interference in parallel worlds."
"Heh, you want to take this chance to complete unification and truly surpass the Dragon God—am I right?"
"You… you…" The Asura God laughed in extreme rage, his body trembling.
"Very well. The hunter who catches birds all day has finally been pecked by one today."
"Even gods can get angry? Can become so hideous? How pitifully ugly!" Tokisaki Kurumi burst into laughter.
"Good, good, good!" The Asura Demon Sword trembled lightly. His body erupted with full power. Although far weaker than before, rage filled the entire consciousness of the Asura God.
"I will make every single one of you die without a burial place."
As his fury rose, the Asura God's will rapidly resonated with the Asura Demon Sword.
Body into sword, body and sword as one.
"Die for me!"
"Asura Blood Sword—Asura Heaven and Earth."
"Slash!"
Laws capable of destroying heaven and earth nearly enveloped the entire area where Tokisaki Kurumi stood, rendering it like quicksand—impossible to move even an inch.
"Sorry." A smile curled at the corner of Tokisaki Kurumi's mouth. "You're the one who's been checkmated!"
What?
Before the Asura God could understand what was happening—
"Bang!"
Without any resistance, the Asura God was sent flying head over heels—faster than he had come—crashing backward.
A graceful figure appeared beside Tokisaki Kurumi.
"Kurumi, you really enjoyed yourself, huh!"
"Aiya, the unreliable master has finally arrived. If you came any later, there'd be no more cat to pet~" Tokisaki Kurumi teased.
"You're finally admitting you're a cat?" The one who appeared beside Tokisaki Kurumi was none other than Ning Rongrong.
She glanced at the unserious Tokisaki Kurumi and lightly flicked her fingertip.
Specks of light scattered. The wounds on Tokisaki Kurumi's body and soul rapidly recovered.
"Then it depends on whether you have the skill to pet me." Tokisaki Kurumi gave a soft laugh. "Speaking of which—your own cat got beaten up. So what are you going to do about it?"
"What can I do? Just deal with it cold, I guess." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "If you couldn't win, why didn't you run? Aren't you always bragging about how great your strategic retreats are?"
"Dropping the ball at the critical moment?"
"Tch, if I ran, he'd definitely come after you. And finding you wouldn't be hard."
"Sigh, thanks anyway." Ning Rongrong didn't say more. "Leave the rest to me."
Profound laws enveloped Tokisaki Kurumi and the Glazed Holy Sword.
In moments, the Glazed Holy Sword returned to its original state.
Di Tian, along with everyone else who had been connected and fused into the Angel Holy Sword by Gu Yuena, also returned to their original forms.
"Ning Rongrong, you right now…"
Gu Yuena realized she could no longer sense Ning Rongrong's aura at all.
This only happened when the dimensional gap was too vast.
Just like how a 2D being cannot sense a 3D existence.
Her soul origin came from the Dragon God—she could still sense even the current Asura God—but Ning Rongrong felt as though she didn't exist at all.
"Just a slight breakthrough—something like that." Ning Rongrong directly teleported everyone to the hidden location of Douluo Star.
