Chapter 245: The Golden Dragon King Escapes; The God Realm Committee Convenes
Douluo God Realm, the Forbidden Land.
A god clad in dark crimson armor, with an indifferent and icy gaze, his entire body radiating blood-red divine power, appeared here.
It was none other than the former Asura God, who had already passed down the Asura God divine position.
"Golden Dragon King, it's time for you to play your part."
The Asura God gazed at the enormous golden dragon cocoon within the Forbidden Land as he muttered to himself.
His purpose for coming here was to secretly release the Golden Dragon King.
Once the Golden Dragon King escaped, it would inevitably draw the attention of the God Realm Committee.
At that time, as a member of the God Realm Committee, the Atlas God would certainly be recalled to the God Realm to search for the missing Golden Dragon King.
This was one of the Asura God's schemes to lure Yun Yuan away.
However, as one of the God Realm's founding elders, the Asura God naturally would not harm the Douluo God Realm like this.
He had already taken precautions by secretly placing a concealed divine power mark on the Golden Dragon King.
In his plan, the Golden Dragon King would merely go out for a brief excursion before ultimately being captured and brought back.
The Golden Dragon King's cultivation was only at the peak of a first-class god.
Although his actual strength far exceeded his cultivation and allowed him to contend evenly against a God King,
The Asura God himself was a top-tier God King. Even after passing down the Asura God divine position, his methods were still far beyond the perception of someone whose cultivation was merely at the peak of a first-class god.
That was why the Asura God dared to carry out this plan.
Looking at the enormous golden dragon cocoon below, the Asura God flipped his palm, sending strands of dark crimson divine power toward it as he secretly branded the Golden Dragon King with a divine power mark.
As long as this divine power mark remained, he would be able to capture the escaped Golden Dragon King once again.
After the Asura God placed the divine power mark on the Golden Dragon King, the Golden Dragon King inside the golden cocoon slowly opened his enormous golden dragon eyes.
He had already sensed the method the Asura God had used on him.
Moreover, the method was extremely well concealed. Had he not reached the God King realm, he likely would have remained completely unaware.
But during the countless years he had been imprisoned within the Forbidden Land, the Golden Dragon King had secretly cultivated.
After several hundred thousand years, he had secretly devoured and absorbed the vast amount of immortal spiritual energy that naturally dissipated throughout the entire God Realm while inside the dragon cocoon.
With such long-term accumulation, his physical body and Destruction Origin continuously skyrocketed, forcefully breaking through their limits and reaching the God King realm.
His combat strength had long surpassed that of ordinary God Kings and was sufficient to rival the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm.
None of the gods in the Douluo God Realm, including the Five Great God Kings themselves, knew any of this.
He had always been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to escape from the God Realm.
And now, the Golden Dragon King realized that this opportunity seemed to have arrived.
After discovering the hidden method, the Golden Dragon King did not alert his enemy. Instead, he wanted to see what the god who had used this method intended to do.
Outside the Forbidden Land, after branding the Golden Dragon King with the divine power mark, the Asura God began removing the seal of the Forbidden Land.
As a former member of the God Realm Committee and one of the God Kings who had personally sealed the Golden Dragon King, the Asura God understood the seal of the Forbidden Land better than anyone.
As the seal was gradually lifted, the enormous golden dragon cocoon inside the Forbidden Land began to tremble.
"The seal has actually been lifted?!"
Inside the golden dragon cocoon, the Golden Dragon King sensed that the seal was no longer capable of restraining him, filling his heart with both excitement and confusion.
He was excited because he was finally about to escape the God Realm and regain his freedom.
He was confused because he had no idea which god had removed the seal of the Forbidden Land.
"Could it be one of the Five Great God Kings? But if so, what purpose do they have in releasing me?"
After pondering for a while without finding an answer, the Golden Dragon King simply stopped thinking about it.
After all, once the seal was completely removed and he escaped the Douluo God Realm, he would be like a fish returning to the sea, free to roam the heavens.
He did not care in the slightest who had released him.
Very soon, the golden dragon cocoon shattered.
A golden dragon measuring several thousand zhang in length emerged.
Rather than venting his hatred toward the God Realm, the golden dragon immediately swung a dragon claw, tearing open space before swiftly leaving the God Realm, afraid that the Five Great God Kings would discover him.
After the Golden Dragon King escaped, the corners of the Asura God's lips curved upward slightly.
It would not be long before Destruction, Life, Evil, and Kindness discovered the anomaly within the Forbidden Land.
Just as the Asura God had expected, the moment the Golden Dragon King broke through the barrier of the God Realm, inside the Evil God Hall and the Goddess of Kindness Hall, the two most powerful God Kings in the God Realm simultaneously sensed something was wrong.
"The Forbidden Land has encountered a problem!!!"
In an instant, their figures disappeared from their divine halls as they rushed toward the Forbidden Land.
Upon arriving there, Evil and Kindness saw only the shattered gigantic dragon cocoon.
As for the Golden Dragon King, he had already escaped from the God Realm.
"Kindness, the Golden Dragon King, has escaped from the God Realm. Convene the God Realm Committee immediately. We must capture the Golden Dragon King and bring him back."
"Oh, and summon Atlas back from the lower realm. Bring the Asura God here as well."
The God of Evil wore a solemn expression as he instructed the Goddess of Kindness.
"Understood."
The Goddess of Kindness nodded, fully aware of the seriousness of the matter.
As one half of the Dragon God, the Golden Dragon King possessed limitless potential.
If he successfully cultivated in the future and returned to the God Realm seeking revenge, he would become an enormous threat.
More importantly, the Golden Dragon King could merge with the Silver Dragon King, giving them a certain chance of becoming an existence at the Supreme God King level.
If that happened, the God Realm would truly stand on the brink of destruction.
Douluo Continent, Spirit City, Atlas Hall.
Within Atlas Hall, Yun Yuan was quietly waiting for the Asura God and Tang San to make their move.
The current Yun Yuan was filled with confidence. To him, the Asura God and Tang San were nothing more than prey in the palm of his hand.
Whenever he grew tired of this game, he would simply overturn the chessboard, break through to the Supreme God King realm, and eliminate Tang San and the Asura God.
However, instead of the Asura God and Tang San making their move, what Yun Yuan received was a notification from the Goddess of Kindness.
"Atlas, return to the God Realm immediately. The God Realm Committee is convening once again. There is an important matter to discuss."
Hearing the Goddess of Kindness's words, Yun Yuan pondered for a moment before retrieving the Dao Fruit he had once left behind.
In an instant, Yun Yuan's aura became ethereal, his cultivation returning from the Limit Douluo realm to the God King realm.
The current Yun Yuan possessed an even more powerful aura than when he had first become a God King.
After all, he had now comprehended more than a dozen laws.
It could be said that Yun Yuan's strength had risen from being slightly inferior to the Asura God to surpassing both Evil and Kindness, the two strongest God Kings in the God Realm.
Douluo God Realm, God Realm Committee Hall.
The figures of Evil, Kindness, Destruction, Life, Asura, and Atlas appeared there one after another.
"Evil, Kindness, what has happened that the God Realm Committee has suddenly been convened?"
After returning to his seat, Yun Yuan slowly spoke.
Destruction and life, likewise, turned curious gazes toward Evil and Kindness.
The Asura God's expression, however, remained calm and indifferent, as though the affairs of the world had nothing to do with him.
Seeing the Asura God's demeanor, the other four God Kings found nothing unusual, merely assuming he was still upset over having been expelled from the God Realm Committee in the past.
Yun Yuan, however, felt that this sudden meeting of the God Realm Committee was inseparably connected to the Asura God.
