Douluo Continent: After Ten Thousand Years of Silence, I Was Exposed by the Sky.

Chapter 172 The God of Destruction is shocked: The Law of Annihilation? That's a realm even a God-King can't reach!
"Oh, that's really stupid."

The God of Destruction gently swirled the wine in his glass, a cold light flashing in his purple eyes, and murmured to himself:
"Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, I was so impressed by your extraordinary talent that I even went so far as to subject you to a divine test."

I wish to pass this position of God of Destruction to you.

"That's an unparalleled honor that countless people would give anything for, but what about you?"

The God of Destruction snorted coldly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes:
"You actually rejected me without even thinking about it!"

And they even have the audacity to say they want to forge their own path and create their own divine position?

"This is utterly ridiculous!"
To attempt, with a mortal body, defy the heavens and become a god-king?

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, and really know your own worth!"

The God of Destruction downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, a sinister glint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.

That's right, the reason Poseidon dared to attack Wei Yuan, whose strength far surpassed his own, was because he was the one who fueled the flames!
He secretly contacted Poseidon, promising him great benefits.

It also implied that as long as Wei Yuan was eliminated.

The divine realm will then turn a blind eye to his continued collection of faith in the lower realms using the Trident of Poseidon.

Because Wei Yuan's talent was simply too terrifying.

Wei Yuan was the first owner of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul.

From the very beginning of awakening his martial soul, he possessed the attribute of ultimate destruction.

Afterwards, he gathered faith and took a step towards godhood.

In terms of the laws of destruction, there is a faint tendency for it to surpass him, the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction was certain at the time.

Once Wei Yuan is fully prepared, he will create his own divine position and become a god-king just like him!

At that time, Wei Yuan ascended to the realm of gods.

Wei Yuan will surely overwhelm him with the law of destruction.

The law of destruction can only have one ruler!

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
He would never allow a destructive god-king who was out of his control and could even threaten his position and power to be born!
"Disobedient pieces will only be destroyed."

The God of Destruction looked at the dying Wei Yuan in the sky and smiled coldly:
"This is the price of refusing me."

(The preceding text has laid the groundwork several times, from the God of Destruction saying that Wei Yuan didn't want the throne, to later saying that the God of Destruction could only achieve control over the Law of Destruction after the fall of Zihuang Mietianlong, etc. This makes it seem less abrupt.)
But as the sky changed again, the God of Destruction suddenly realized the 'key to the problem'.

This Wei Yuan has already become a god of destruction, and even a god-king!

Moreover, this was the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon at its peak!

This is even stronger than myself!

There is even this so-called second martial soul, the Burial Sky Coffin, which has been designated by the Heavenly Curtain as the number one of the ten peak martial souls.

The reward, even if it's bad, can't be too bad, right?
Even if one has the help of the goddess of life.

How can the two God-Kings compare to Wei Yuan, and Wei Yuan's descendants who are about to become gods or will become gods in the future?
Upon realizing this, the God of Destruction's face turned ashen.

Above the sky, images shifted, and behind the suffocating tragedy lay a deathly darkness.

That was the interior space of the Coffin of Burial.

In this void where even time seemed to have been swallowed up, Wei Yuan's broken and nearly lifeless body floated silently.

Behind Wei Yuan, the terrifying blood hole pierced by the trident of Poseidon was now emitting a faint black light.

That was not the decay of death, but a deeper, more fundamental power—

Annihilation!

"Om-"

With a deep hum, the ancient and intricate patterns on the inner wall of the Burial Coffin began to slowly light up. Streams of extremely pure energy, like trickling streams, seeped from the coffin walls, gently enveloping Wei Yuan's body.

That was the essence of heaven and earth that the Coffin of Burial Sky had absorbed over the long years, and now it was giving back to its master without reservation.

Nourished by this power, the faint life force within Wei Yuan's body, which had been as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, miraculously stabilized and began to grow at an astonishing rate.

In the scene, Wei Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were no longer the clear black and white they once were, but had become a deep, boundless gray, as if containing the chaos and end of the beginning of the universe.

"Is this... the true power of the Coffin of Burial?"

Wei Yuan looked down at his hands, feeling the transformative power within his body, and murmured to himself.

Wei Yuan could clearly feel that the destructive power that had been raging within him due to damage to his origin was undergoing a mysterious sublimation under the guidance of the Burial Coffin.

At the end of destruction is annihilation.

Destruction is merely destruction, while annihilation is returning to nothingness; it is the end of all things and the beginning of everything.

"Since Heaven hasn't forsaken me, since this Coffin of Burial has given me a second chance..."

A resolute and enlightened look flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes. He did not choose to immediately break out of the coffin to seek revenge on Poseidon.

Instead, he sat down cross-legged again, his hands forming a strange and mysterious hand seal.

"Then I will use the power of this Burial Coffin to condense the Annihilation Divine Core and completely control this Annihilation Law that transcends destruction!"

As Wei Yuan finished speaking, the entire interior of the Burial Coffin instantly erupted in chaos.

Countless gray currents surged wildly toward Wei Yuan's dantian, and a dark, deep crystal nascent form, exuding a chilling aura, began to slowly condense.

……

Inside the Temple of Destruction.

"Bang!"

The goblet in the God of Destruction's hand slipped and crashed heavily to the ground, shattering into pieces.

But he was completely unaware of it. As if struck by lightning, he stiffly stood up from his throne and stared intently at the scene in the sky.

Those purple eyes, which were originally filled with disdain and arrogance, were now filled with unprecedented fear and horror.

"The Silent... Silent Annihilation Divine Core?!"

The voice of the God of Destruction trembled, as if he had witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world:

"He...he's actually condensing the Annihilation God Core?!"

How is this possible?!

As the god of destruction, he understood better than anyone what the word "annihilation" meant.

That is the superior law of the law of destruction, the ultimate form of destruction!
If the power of destruction is a sharp knife, it can cut through everything in the world.

Then the power of annihilation is a black hole that can erase all existence, even the laws themselves!

"The Law of Annihilation... that's a forbidden realm that even a God-King can hardly touch!"

The God of Destruction's face was ashen, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He originally thought that even if Wei Yuan didn't die, he would at most recover his strength or become the God of Destruction.

In that case, with his alliance with the Goddess of Life, plus the power of the divine realm's central authority, they might still have a fighting chance.

But now...

"If he truly condenses the God Core of Annihilation and masters the complete Laws of Annihilation..."
