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

……

After bidding farewell to the Ice Dragon King, Xuanming moved slightly and took a step forward.

This step is not only about crossing space, but also about crossing the boundaries of rules.

He passed through the shimmering crystal barrier of the divine realm, which protected the gods from external attacks, and arrived outside the divine realm—the endless void universe.

There is no gentle and compliant divine power here, only violent spatial turbulence, deathly darkness, and fragments of primordial laws that have existed since the beginning of the universe but have never been tamed.

Xuanming stood in the void and glanced back at the enormous sphere that radiated a nine-colored halo in the darkness—the God Realm.

The Ice Dragon King's analogy is quite apt. The realm of gods is indeed a sanctuary traveling through the universe, and the divine positions are the interfaces connecting to the core engine of this vehicle.

The higher the privileges of an interface, the greater the power it can mobilize, and the more feedback it receives.

Just like Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. After Xuanming broke through to the Supreme God Realm, he actually first strengthened the "engine" of the God Realm Central Hub, and then used the surplus energy generated by the engine to forcibly raise their realms, adding "luxury seats" to their vehicles.

The more powerful the divine realm is, the more powerful the gods become; it is a symbiotic relationship.

In theory, if the energy of the divine realm were limitless, it would even be possible for all deities to reach the God-King realm.

But the problem is that energy is not infinite.

The process of consolidating divine positions essentially involves consuming the resources of the divine realm to forge rules and authority.

If it were just ordinary second-level or first-level gods, that would be fine, but even a god-king, the current god realm can afford it.

However, Xuanming is different.

His level of power is too high. He is "negation and reconstruction," a supreme being that transcends conventional laws.

If we were to use the parts and fuel of this "vehicle" itself to build him a "supreme throne" that matches his rear end...

Xuanming guessed that the God Realm would probably be drained of its essence and fall apart before he could even settle in.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take the risk of going outside the realm of gods and directly demanding from the universe.

So-called divine energy, in essence, is the embodiment of the power of the laws of the universe.

The five great god-kings of goodness, evil, destruction, life, and asura were powerful because they were primordial deities born at the dawn of the divine realm, based on the five most fundamental laws of the universe. Their divine status and positions were innate, bestowed upon them by the universe.

Later deities, whether sea gods or angel gods, mostly became gods because the central authority of the divine realm captured and purified the free-floating laws of the universe during the expansion of the divine realm. When powerful beings in the mortal realm broke through, they sensed this tamed power and were thus able to become gods.

Without the filtering and protection of the divine realm, mortals cannot sense these energies at all, let alone come into contact with or absorb them.

Even Xuanming himself relied on the power of the Dragon God as a springboard to condense his divine spark in order to complete that heaven-defying qualitative change.

Xuanming took a deep breath, opened his arms, and faced the dark, deep, and unknown universe.

There is no filtering from the divine realm, no buffer from the central hub.

What he wants to do is to plunder directly from this vast universe!

In the eyes of ordinary deities, this behavior was tantamount to suicide.

The energy in the universe is violent, chaotic, and full of radiation and pollution. Without the protection of the divine realm, directly absorbing this energy is like a mortal drinking magma—they would be instantly overwhelmed or assimilated.

However, for Xuanming, who now possesses the power of "negation and reconstruction"...

Nothing in this world can threaten him anymore.

boom--! !

The supreme divine power within Xuanming's body suddenly erupted.

In an instant, an extreme, pure white light spread wildly in all directions from him.

This white light belonged to no element, nor did it contain any known rules. It forcefully repelled the surrounding darkness, forcibly carving out an absolute domain belonging to Xuanming in the void. ...

Meanwhile, in the central hub of the divine realm.

The massive core, which had been operating smoothly, suddenly began to tremble violently, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

Four streaks of light flashed by in an instant.

Good, evil, destruction, and life—the four god-kings appeared almost simultaneously in front of the central monitoring console, each with a solemn expression and undisguised horror in their eyes.

"What's going on? An extremely high-energy reaction has been detected outside the barrier of the divine realm!"

The God of Destruction stared intently at the wildly expanding white spot of light on the screen. "This energy fluctuation... is even more terrifying than the spacetime turbulence from before! Could it be an invasion by an external enemy?"

"No, it's not an external enemy."

The Goddess of Life sensed that familiar yet unsettling aura, her voice trembling slightly, "It is... Xuanming."

"He went out?" The God of Evil frowned. "What is he doing? This commotion... is he stirring up a cosmic storm?"

Through the central observation over extremely long distances, the four god-kings clearly saw a scene in the void.

Xuanming hovered in the center of the white light, like a giant black hole, frantically devouring everything around it.

The fragments of time, spatial turbulence, chaotic energy, and even some passing meteorites and stars in the universe were all shattered and deconstructed under that terrifying suction force, turning into the most primal torrent of energy that converged towards him.

"He's insane...he's absolutely insane!"

The God of Kindness's eyes were filled with disbelief. "He's forcibly absorbing cosmic energy to solidify his divine position! This unconverted primordial energy is full of chaos and destructiveness; even a god-king's body couldn't withstand such erosion!"

"If these energies get out of control within the body, the explosive force would be enough to affect half of the God Realm!"

Even the God of Destruction felt a chill run down his spine.

As the controller of destructive power, he knew better than anyone how dangerous those primordial energies of the universe were.

These innate god-kings all underwent a long period of gestation and adaptation before they could barely grasp their respective laws.

But Xuanming... he was practically devouring everything!

"No, look!"

The evil god, who had been silently observing, suddenly pointed at the screen and said in a deep voice, "Those energies... are not out of control."

Everyone looked intently.

The violent energy stream, powerful enough to tear stars apart, seemed to encounter its natural enemy when it came into contact with the extreme white light surrounding Xuanming.

All the violence, chaos, radiation, impurities... were "negated" in an instant.

That white light was like the most domineering filter, and also the most unreasonable crusher. It negated all the "harmful" properties in the energy of the universe, forcibly reconstructing it into the purest and gentlest primordial power.

Under the illumination of that white light, the cosmic storm that was originally capable of destroying everything became like a docile sheep, obediently gathering at Xuanming's feet and gradually condensing into the prototype of a... seat.

"Is this... a power that transcends the rules?"

The God of Destruction murmured to himself, the purple light in his eyes dimming slightly, replaced by deep awe.

"Even the laws of the universe must bow before this power."

“He is not merely consolidating divine authority,” the Goddess of Life sighed softly. “He is… asserting his sovereignty over the universe.”

"sky……"

"It seems we have truly ushered in an unprecedented ruler." (End of Chapter)
