"I am already invincible in the world. You can never be my match."
The Asura God roared furiously. Blood energy swirled around the Asura Sword, enveloping his entire body and giving him an especially eerie appearance under the glow of his aura.
Vast divine power surged forth, pressing down toward Di Tian and swiftly locking onto him.
"No matter whether you are the Black Dragon King or not, today next year will be the anniversary of your deaths."
"Die!"
Crimson red light flooded the skies above Douluo Star.
A terrifying sword beam descended in response.
"Body and sword as one, soul and divine as one."
"Asura Blood Sword!"
An overwhelming pressure struck straight at the soul.
Including Di Tian, everyone present summoned their own super-divine tools.
"The Asura God's strength has grown even stronger than before!" The Kindness God King raised the object in her hand bearing heart patterns—it was precisely her super-divine tool, the Heart of Kindness.
"Purifying Light!"
The Heart of Kindness possessed the ability to purify the mind and even repair the divine soul.
The Kindness God King was not skilled in combat, but her super-divine tool could counter the Asura God's Asura Sword.
"Useless, Kindness." The Asura God King's voice echoed all around. "If you were still a level-150 God King, I might have some reservations. But now? You have no way to deal with me at all."
"Then how about adding me to the equation!" The Life God King raised the Ancient Tree of Life in her hand, which burst with emerald green light. Powerful life energy brought forth the power of creation. Combined with the Kindness God King's purification ability, it eroded the Asura God's blood-killing aura.
"Useless, completely useless." The Asura God transformed his body into a sword. Even while facing five God Kings at once, he displayed overwhelming dominance.
"You are not my opponents at all. You ceased to be opponents I need to take seriously long ago."
"Go to hell!"
"Asura Blood Sword!"
Qian Renxue fanned her three pairs of black-and-white wings. The Angel Holy Sword drew out sharp energy to defend.
"Clang—"
The collision of energy laws and the barrier produced a resounding shock.
With the added support from the other God Kings, even though the Asura God had surpassed his peak condition, his current attack showed signs of lacking follow-through.
"Hmph, newborn Angel God King."
"Back then, even the Angel God fell by my hand. What can you possibly do?"
The five of them joined forces and forcibly pushed the Asura God back.
The Asura God took a light breath. The Asura Sword once again flared with blood-red flames.
The expressions of Kindness and Life changed abruptly. They urgently shouted, "Quick—everyone, full defense!"
"Hahahaha, let's see if you can block this move!"
"That is…" Gu Yuena sensed a palpitation of dread coming from the Asura Sword.
Golden divine light instantly expanded across heaven and earth, only to be immediately corrupted by darkness.
The sky flickered ceaselessly between black and white.
Profound and boundless laws were compressed onto the Asura Sword.
It was as though even the stars of the universe dimmed before this power.
"Three Realms Judgment!"
The laws fused from the God Positions of the five great God Kings transformed into infinite mystery.
The sky and the stars lost all traces. This single sword seemed capable of erasing everything.
The five God Kings opposing the Asura God vaguely lost their five senses and their perception of the outside world.
Their souls fell into utter solitude.
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—Nine Treasure Divine Light!"
"Void Collapse—Time-Space Rotation!"
Two successive voices suddenly rang out, echoing in the consciousness of the deathly silent crowd.
Dense light blades swallowed the vast sea of energy.
Like a black hole.
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—Suppress!"
A powerful pressure accompanied the nine-layered pagoda as it flew toward the Asura God King.
"Boom!"
It bypassed all the attacks in front and struck the Asura God from behind.
"Pfft!"
Caught off guard, the Asura God King took a heavy blow. Scarlet blood sprayed from his mouth. The blood-red hair on his head, already wreathed in blood energy, became even more vivid.
After retreating tens of thousands of meters, the Asura God clutched his chest. "Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
"Not quite. My master has something to attend to. Dealing with a small fry like you doesn't require her to personally act—otherwise it would seem like bullying."
Landing beside Di Tian and the others, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda slowly returned to Tokisaki Kurumi's hand.
The gothic lolita-dressed Tokisaki Kurumi curled her lips into a slightly darkened smile. She glanced back leisurely and said:
"How useless. Five against one and you almost got counter-killed. Do you even know how to fight?"
Di Tian and the others: "…"
"Your master didn't come?" Gu Yuena wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Seeing Tokisaki Kurumi holding the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she couldn't help but ask.
"She didn't come. She has her own matters to handle. And besides…"
"If the Asura God devoured the power of the five great God Kings and the Dragon God's gift and is still this weak, then the protagonist doesn't need to appear."
"Or rather—I, Tokisaki Kurumi, will take on the role of protagonist."
"Saving the world, defeating evil—I am justice!"
Kindness God King: "…"
"The Asura is strong, but something still feels off." The Life God King frowned slightly and looked toward the opposite side.
"The boat will straighten when it reaches the bridge." Tokisaki Kurumi raised the gun in her hand and pressed it against her own temple. "If the sky falls, the tallest one will hold it up. The priority right now is to deal with the guy in front of us first."
"First Bullet (Aleph)!"
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
While everyone was still confused, Tokisaki Kurumi's body instantly vanished.
In the blink of an eye, she reappeared behind the Asura God.
"So fast!"
A trace of shock appeared on the Asura God's face. He swung the Asura Sword in his hand. Blood-killing flames coiled around the blade as he viciously swept it backward.
"Second Bullet (Bet)!"
Almost the instant the words fell.
"Clang!"
A bullet struck the Asura Sword.
The Asura God's pupils suddenly contracted.
The sword swept through the position where Tokisaki Kurumi had been, but she had already vanished—reappearing once more behind the Asura God.
"Her speed increased again—no, it's my reaction that slowed down."
In the end, as a God King of the God Realm, he quickly realized that his opponent's attacks were based on the power of time.
Moreover, her control over time even surpassed that of the former Time Dragon King.
"Asura Domain!"
Blood energy spread outward with himself as the center, forming a massive area-of-effect domain that attempted to envelop Tokisaki Kurumi.
"City of Devouring Time!"
"Bang!"
The two domains collided.
Red and black laws retreated from around the two of them.
A fierce gale whipped up waves of energy like a tsunami. Rampaging power spread across the entire Douluo Star.
"Angel's Protection!"
Qian Renxue spread her black-and-white wings. The Angel Holy Sword radiated light that formed a massive barrier.
The wildly incoming energy storm raised violent ripples across the barrier wall.
"The two of them… seem evenly matched?" Qian Renxue's voice carried some uncertainty.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger took drugs? This fierce?
It was one thing for Di Tian to reach God King level—his foundation was already deep, and he was supposedly the reincarnation of one of the nine great Dragon Kings—but he still couldn't overpower the Asura God for the time being.
But you, Tokisaki Kurumi—how are you this strong?
Is it really true that the closer you are to Ning Rongrong, the stronger you become?
To actually force a five-five split against the Asura God who absorbed the power of the five great God Kings?
