Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

On the outer perimeter, two divine punishment formations have been fully deployed to suppress the enemy.

Fourteen first-level gods were positioned at both ends, each occupying their respective positions.

Further away, a hundred gods were chanting, and intersecting divine light sources continuously flowed into the formation, constantly compressing the space around the Golden Dragon King that allowed him to move.

Directly in front of it, the divine power of the five great god-kings is converging on the same sword.

The sword of judgment in the three realms.

The giant sword, which was still expanding, made the Golden Dragon King instinctively feel threatened.

It didn't avoid it, or rather, it couldn't avoid it and didn't want to avoid it!

With a flick of its tail, the dragon's massive body surged forward. Its giant claws reached for the sword's edge, and its open mouth revealed gleaming white fangs, as if it intended to tear the sword and the man apart before the sword could fully fall!

"town!"

The God of Destruction roared in anger.

The Divine Descent Formation was the first to close in.

Negative emotions such as greed and gluttony materialized, turning into shackles that bound the Golden Dragon King's limbs and wings.

Almost simultaneously, the light from the Elemental God Descending Array surged.

The seven elements converged into a storm, blasting against the dragon's body from both sides. The golden scales emitted a piercing sound under the intense bombardment, and the bursts of light merged into one, almost engulfing the entire dragon.

The Golden Dragon King yanked hard with its front claws.

The shackles binding its claws were stretched taut, then snapped inch by inch. Braving the still-falling elemental attacks, it tore a gap in the storm before it, and its body smashed through it with overwhelming force.

The speed did not slow down at all.

The expressions of the first-level gods in the formation changed drastically, and they immediately increased their divine power output in an attempt to hold it back.

But the real killer move is already taking shape in front of it.

The Asura God King gripped the phantom of the blood sword with both hands, his arms taut, and steadily pressed the sword's edge towards the direction from which the Golden Dragon King was charging.

Good and evil stand on opposite sides, and all divine power is poured into the sword.

"The highest virtue is like water!"

"It exudes an aura of malevolence!"

Black and white divine light intertwined and clashed along the dark red sword blade, then merged back into one at the tip.

Destruction and life exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their hands.

The divine power, which had just been replenished by the source of destruction, flowed into the sword hilt as the two moved.

This is the true combined power of the five great god-kings.

The power of the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms was pushed to its peak since the birth of the God Realm at this moment.

The Asura God King faced the charging dragon and fiercely swung his sword.

The sword light fell.

The seal above the forbidden land was ripped open, and turbulent currents poured out along the crack. The two divine punishment formations trembled violently at the same time, and the gods who presided over the formations desperately tried to stabilize their positions, preventing the sword's might from overturning the formations as well.

The Golden Dragon King roared, lowered its head, and rammed into the object with its mouth open.

"Sizzle—"

A muffled tearing sound reached the ears of the gods.

The sword pierced through the Golden Dragon King's jaw, breaking through the dragon's scales, flesh, and skull, and finally emerged from the other side of the dragon's head.

The massive dragon body suddenly straightened.

Its forepaws remained in a pouncing posture, but its body could no longer move forward even an inch. The Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms pierced through the dragon's head, pinning it to the shattered sky.

Golden dragon blood gushed along the sword's blade and sprayed downwards.

The Golden Dragon King let out a low, hoarse hiss. It still tried to struggle, but its limbs began to twitch uncontrollably, and the light in its vertical pupils was rapidly dimming.

But at the very last moment, a dark spot suddenly appeared deep within its throat.

The black light expanded in the blink of an eye, swallowing up the surrounding gold.

Annihilation Dragon Breath!

The five divine kings' expressions changed slightly.

The dragon god's demise was a desperate last stand, and no one wanted to risk their own divine body. The five immediately withdrew, using the recoil to retreat and avoid the direction directly facing the dragon's mouth.

"boom!"

A jet-black dragon breath erupted, instantly covering the vast expanse of starry sky in front of them.

The momentum was astonishing.

But after the several god-kings retreated a distance, their gazes gradually changed.

The dragon's breath struck the outer array, indeed creating large ripples, but the barrier remained intact after the ripples subsided. The seemingly dense black light rolled past the defensive barrier, but instead of tearing it apart, it quickly lost its momentum.

The God of Destruction narrowed his eyes.

Power is illusory.

The Golden Dragon King's destructive divine essence had already been significantly drained by the Reversal of Heavenly Balance before it even emerged from its cocoon. Having just endured the piercing blow of the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms, the dragon breath it forcibly exhaled now only produced a terrifying appearance.

The gods were forced to retreat by its ferocious power as it lay dying, but they overestimated the power it could still mobilize.

The black dragon breath quickly dissipated.

It's dead.

The massive dragon body lost its support and plummeted to the ground. The remaining shockwave swept across the surroundings, causing the already battered divine realm to tremble once more.

Before the gods could even catch their breath, several nearby cracks suddenly widened.

A dark, turbulent current surged forth, carrying away the lingering dragon's might and spreading further afield. If the crack were allowed to continue collapsing, not only would the Forbidden Land of Gods be threatened, but the entire divine realm would be affected.

"Seal the crack!"

The God of Destruction turned around first and thrust both palms forward.

The purplish-black divine power formed a thick barrier, pressing down on the largest cracks. The power of destruction coursed across the barrier, forcibly blocking the turbulent currents that were trying to surge in, preventing the cracks from expanding further.

The other four god-kings immediately followed.

Asura, life, goodness, and evil—the four fundamental forces—entered the void one after another, intertwining with the power of destruction and extending along the cracks.

The power that was used to kill the Golden Dragon King has now been used to replenish the battlefield.

None of the five god-kings spoke.

They pressed down on the collapses one by one and sealed the cracks one by one, taking a full half hour to barely stabilize the space again.

The turbulence was finally stopped.

The healed areas are still slightly distorted, like an unevenly healed wound, occasionally revealing a lingering, unsettling fluctuation.

The Asura God King withdrew his hand, and the blood sword turned into red light, disappearing into his body.

"It's only temporarily stabilized."

He looked at the rift in the divine realm before him and said in a deep voice:

"We'll have to rely on the central authority of the divine realm to reorganize this area, otherwise problems will inevitably arise sooner or later."

After saying that, he looked down at the corpse of the Golden Dragon King, and his tense expression finally relaxed a little.

"However, this hidden danger has finally been eliminated. For the divine realm, it is ultimately a fortunate thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, something suddenly happened below.

On the Golden Dragon King's tattered body, the remaining life force began to rise. Blood-gold light surged from between the scales and wounds, converging in mid-air before continuously contracting and condensing.

A moment later, a blood-gold divine halo appeared above the corpse.

Even though the Golden Dragon King was dead, the remaining fierce aura within the divine halo still caused the nearby subordinate gods to subconsciously take a few steps back.

But the God of Destruction had already made his move.

With a flick of his sleeve, his purplish-black divine power penetrated directly into the blood-red light, capturing the newly formed divine ring in his palm.

Lightning traveled along his fingertips, instantly sealing off the aura emanating from the divine ring.

"This item is destined for me."
