Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

"Roar--!!!"

The humiliation and excruciating pain of being sent flying by a single blow completely ignited the savagery in the Golden Dragon King's bones! Its massive dragon body forcibly stabilized itself in the shattered void, and hot dragon blood flowed from the gaps between its dark golden scales, but the madness in its blood-red eyes burned even more fiercely!

It no longer pondered the origins of the crimson giant; its mind was consumed by the most primal and pure desire for destruction—to tear it apart! To tear apart this ant that dared to stand in its way!
"Ow!!!"

The Golden Dragon King let out an even more ferocious roar, its dragon wings spread wide, and its body flashed with dark golden light, like a burning star, as it once again pounced on the Killing War Soul!

This time, it swung its claws with a terrifying sharpness that could tear apart the laws of nature, and its mouth opened, condensing a destructive breath into a dark golden beam of light powerful enough to pierce through a star's core!

The killing spirit, with its bloodshot eyes cold, met the attack without fear!
boom! boom! boom!
Two colossal beings, each tens of thousands of meters tall, engaged in the most primal, savage, and terrifying battle within this already shattered forbidden land!

Claws clashed with blood spears, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal!
Their breaths clashed with their fists, creating destructive ripples of energy!
Every time they clashed, the entire Forbidden Land trembled violently, large sections of space collapsed, and the dark red energy storm was torn to pieces!

Even the five-colored sealing light barrier outside the Forbidden Land of Gods, which was originally indestructible and maintained by the five God Kings, began to fluctuate violently, its light flickering, as if it might be broken at any moment by the terrifying aftershocks of the battle inside!

"Good heavens... the fighting inside is fierce." The God of Evil squinted, feeling the vibrations emanating from the seal, his tone tinged with amazement.

The Asura God's blood-red eyes were grave: "The Golden Dragon King possesses the most powerful physical body among dragon gods, and its defense is arguably the strongest in the divine realm. Although Xuanming's Asura Battle Soul is strong, it will be difficult for it to break through the Golden Dragon King's defense!"

Even if he were to face the Golden Dragon King, he would have to go all out. Xuanming had just condensed his divine spark, so his chances of defeating the Golden Dragon King were slim.

On the battlefield, the situation unfolded exactly as the Asura God had predicted.

Although the Asura Battle Spirit's attacks were ferocious, with its blood spears repeatedly striking the Golden Dragon King's scales and emitting dazzling sparks, it could never truly break through that layer of dark golden defense! The physical body left behind by the Dragon God was simply too powerful!
The Golden Dragon King grew increasingly ferocious in battle, its claws tearing and its tail sweeping, each attack containing terrifying power capable of ripping apart stars, tearing cracks into the Asura Battle Soul's blood-red armor! The Battle Soul's recovery speed began to lag behind the rate of damage!

"Your death is near!" The Golden Dragon King laughed wildly, his dragon eyes filled with cruelty and pleasure.

Xuanming hovered between the brows of the Slaughtering Battle Spirit, his pure white eyes showing no anxiety. He felt the depletion of his divine power and the almost insurmountable defense of the Golden Dragon King.

Since the power is insufficient... then absorb more!
"Om-!"

The million-year-old torso bone within him, originating from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and containing the power of devouring and the abyss—the Abyss Dragon Emperor's torso bone—suddenly lit up!

At the same time, the evil ring beneath his feet, representing ultimate evil and devouring, also began to shine!

Divine Skill - Dragon Emperor Devours the World!
Back in the mortal realm, he used this very move to forcibly absorb energy, briefly reach the god level, and kill Tang Chen.

At this moment, on the edge of the divine realm, the surroundings are filled with divine power and immortal energy that are countless times purer and more abundant than those in the lower realm!
"Swallow it!"

Xuanming roared, unleashing the power of the Abyss Dragon Emperor's torso and the Ring of Evil to its fullest extent!

In an instant, a huge, dark vortex that seemed capable of devouring everything appeared out of thin air, centered on him!

It frantically plundered all usable energy within the Forbidden Land of Gods—the remnants of the shattered dragon soul, the dissipated divine power of the divine realm, the pure immortal spiritual energy, and even the violent energy released when the Golden Dragon King attacked!
Rumble——! ! !
The entire divine realm seemed to tremble slightly! Outside the forbidden land of the gods, the expressions of the five god-kings changed simultaneously. They clearly felt that the energy of the divine realm was being forcibly drawn out by some force and channeled into the seal!
"He's forcibly devouring the primordial divine power of the divine realm?!" The God of Destruction's eyes blazed with purple light!
"And there's still the lingering immortal energy from the Dragon Tomb... Has this guy gone mad?!" Even the God of Evil stopped his mockery.

Such a frenzied absorption of energy from different sources could easily lead to an energy backlash, resulting in the annihilation of both body and soul!

But Xuanming couldn't care less about that now!

At the center of the battlefield, the aura of the tens of thousands of meters tall Asura War Soul began to rise at a terrifying speed!
On its originally dark red body, dark purple patterns representing destruction began to appear, and the blood spear was entwined with an evil purplish-black aura and the light of annihilation! The power of the Ring of Evil and the Ring of Destruction began to merge with the killing power of the Ring of Asura!
The power level of the Asura Battle Soul is breaking through a certain limit!

"Die!" Xuanming, riding the Asura Battle Soul whose power surged, his blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent. The terrifying blood spear, which had fused with the power of the three divine rings, carried the law fluctuations that annihilated everything, and once again fiercely stabbed towards the Golden Dragon King!

This time, the Blood Spear was no longer in vain!

"Pfft——!"

With a teeth-grinding tearing sound, the blood spear actually pierced through the hardest dark gold dragon scale on the Golden Dragon King's chest! Although it didn't penetrate deep into the flesh, dark gold dragon blood gushed out like magma!

"Roar!!!"

The Golden Dragon King let out the most shrill and furious roar since the start of the war! It stared in disbelief at the dragon blood flowing down its chest, the excruciating pain and humiliation driving it into utter madness!
It, the noble Golden Dragon King, possessing the strongest physical body of a dragon god, was actually... breached?! It was injured by something it regarded as an ant!

"you wanna die!!!"

The Golden Dragon King went completely mad! It held nothing back anymore, pushing the power of its Destruction Godhood to its limit, and dark golden destructive energy erupted from its body like a volcanic eruption! It wanted to fight Xuanming... to the death!
……

The terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from the Forbidden Land of Gods and the slight tremors throughout the entire divine realm finally attracted the attention of more deities.

Beams of divine light, radiating a powerful aura, rose from all corners of the divine realm, converging on this strictly sealed forbidden area.

One of the most striking beams of azure light was Poseidon, the sea god who had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

Since Poseidon completed the succession to the Sea God's throne, he has been busy looking for a deity willing to inherit the throne and thinking about sending some gifts to the girls on Sea God Island. As for Xuanming's matter, he hasn't paid much attention to it lately.

But at this moment, sensing the commotion from the forbidden land that seemed to be about to destroy everything, he immediately realized—that kid had probably already come up and was causing a huge upheaval inside!
"Stop! Keep your distance!" The figure of the evil god appeared before the gods, his voice carrying an undeniable majesty. Dark purple divine power formed a barrier, preventing the gods from getting any closer.

"The Golden Dragon King may break free from its seal. If the situation gets out of control, we will use our final means to eliminate it! The scope of the impact will be unpredictable, and anyone who gets close will bear the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, all the gods were awed and stopped in their tracks, anxiously watching the increasingly violent fluctuations of the five-colored seal.

Poseidon flew to the side of the god of evil, his brow furrowed as he looked at the seal that seemed ready to burst at any moment. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation inside? Is that brat Xuanming inside? Since the situation is so critical, why don't you go in and lend him a hand?"

The god of evil glanced at Poseidon, his tone calm yet tinged with coldness: "Help him? That in itself is the final test."

He gazed at the churning, sealed light barrier, as if he could pierce through it and witness the brutal battle within: "If he has the ability to resolve the troubles of the Golden Dragon King and the Dragon God's Heart on his own, then entrusting the future of the God Realm, and even the possibility of dealing with unknown crises, to him wouldn't be unreasonable. But if he can't resolve them..."

The voice of the God of Evil was flat, yet carried an absolute resolve: "He has come this far, condensing his own divine essence and stepping into this final battlefield. Defeat means death. There is no other possibility, and there is no room for discussion."

Poseidon's expression hardened.

The evil god continued, "We gave him a choice. If he had chosen to accept the legacy of any god-king, whether it was Asura, Destruction, or something else, we would have helped him when he faced such a desperate situation. But he chose the most difficult path, and he had to rely on himself for everything."

"Since he has chosen to take matters into his own hands, he should bear the consequences of his actions, whether he lives or dies, succeeds or fails. We will not interfere."

This was the God-King's decision, and their final assessment of Xuanming, this "anomaly." Whether he would become a collaborator who transcended the rules, or become new nourishment for this forbidden land of gods like countless fallen geniuses, depended entirely on Xuanming's own abilities.

Poseidon remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, his gaze complex as he looked at the seal that seemed to be brewing a storm. He knew the god of evil was right. This path was Xuanming's own choice; no one else had the right or the ability to interfere.

Now, all they can do is wait. Wait for the battle within to reach a conclusion. (End of Chapter)
