Tang San's screams reverberated through Slaughter City, seemingly transmitted to the God Realm, echoing in the ears of the deities.
At this moment, some Second Class Gods, sensing danger, subtly retreated.
The Shura God stood frozen in place.
His gaze shifted from shock and fury to disbelief, then to bewilderment.
The bewilderment lasted only an instant before being replaced by madness.
The Shura God's eyes turned icy as he scanned his surroundings.
He raised his right hand, and the Shura God Sword appeared in his grasp.
He swung the sword, unleashing a shocking blade of sword energy.
"Shura! Have you gone mad?!"
The God of Destruction was astounded.
"I am mad."
A bunch of fools! Actually helping someone who wasn't even a god yet, severing his own path to supremacy. Truly damnable!
The Shura God had no way to explain the path to supremacy to others.
This kind of thing was something you either comprehended or you didn't; it couldn't be conveyed by others.
Even Divine Kings who could dabble in time-related abilities mostly struggled to realize this point. Once they understood, they could attempt a breakthrough.
The Shura God was furious at the God of Destruction's incompetence. Understanding nothing, he offended someone on the verge of transcendence for the sake of someone not yet a god.
He didn't hesitate.
Raising his hand, a sword light shot out, indiscriminately slashing at the surrounding deities.
The God of Destruction summoned the Scepter of Destruction, hastily condensing a mass of purplish-black lightning in his palm and throwing it to intercept the sword light.
However, the Shura God had gone insane, giving them no breathing room. After the first sword strike, dozens, even hundreds, of sword lights followed.
Not every strike was at full power, but each was fatal to a Second Class God. A First Class God, if careless, would be severely wounded.
These hundreds of crisscrossing sword lights caused the entire God Realm to tremble.
Because a deity had been killed.
"Shura!"
The God of Destruction roared, raising his scepter.
The sky instantly turned gloomy. Endless thunderclouds churned, purplish-black lightning rampaged, filling the sky above the Shura God's Hall.
The Shura God showed no intention of negotiation. He directly slashed a sword energy blade at full force, aimed straight for the God of Destruction's main body.
The God of Destruction also saw that the Shura God was now insane, acting recklessly. He simply unleashed his full power.
Purplish-black lightning descended. Thousands of lightning bolts converged into one, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth, a colossal dragon-serpent crashing from the sky, colliding with the sword energy, annihilating each other.
Killing intent overflowed; the surroundings instantly became a slaughter ground.
Lightning power spread out. Second Class Gods wounded by the sword lights moments ago were now electrocuted, their bodies going numb. They hastily retreated, not daring to remain in the center of these two combatants' battlefield.
The Seven Elemental Gods and Seven Sin Gods were also affected by the sword lights. The Earth God and the God of Arrogance were severely wounded.
Their grand formations couldn't be activated immediately.
Fortunately, the God of Life was nearby. She directly released several streams of Life Origin Power, swiftly healing the two First Class Gods.
With the God of Life's support, the Seven Elemental Gods and Seven Sin Gods quickly formed their formations.
"Elemental Gods' Divine Punishment Grand Formation!"
"Sin Gods' Divine Punishment Grand Formation!"
Two grand formations materialized, and instantly, two phantom figures appeared above each group.
The Elemental Gods' phantom gathered the power of the seven elements, releasing a seven-colored light pillar that surged towards the Shura God.
The Sin Gods' phantom also released a seven-colored light pillar, though these colors appeared somewhat murky.
The Shura God snorted coldly, seemingly holding these methods in complete disdain.
He coldly glanced at the fourteen First Class Gods, raising the Shura God Sword high.
He hadn't formed factions because he didn't need to.
Absolute strength—
Douluo Continent. Slaughter City.
After crushing Tang San's soul, Su Ming immediately activated the Death's Eye learned from Electrolux—an undead spell specifically for searching enemy souls, used for revenge and tormenting souls.
Su Ming was still quite merciful, merely grabbing Tang San's soul with one hand, then using the Purifying Flame to scatter his soul to nothingness.
Tang San's soul was utterly eradicated.
However, Su Ming couldn't let his guard down yet.
Sword lights appeared throughout Slaughter City, countless streaks assailing Su Ming.
Su Ming wasn't afraid. He swung his hand, releasing a stream of Qi and Blood energy. Because he controlled the Plane's Power, it was rapidly assimilated. The entire sky and earth turned blood-red.
This was the color of his Qi and Blood, not the power of Slaughter City.
A vast expansion of Qi and Blood swept away all the sword lights in one direction.
Su Ming then directly erupted. A golden phantom above his head merged into his own body.
All Qi and Blood returned to his main body with the phantom. Su Ming grew to a full ten meters tall, his entire body emanating golden light. Every movement carried the might of heaven and earth, giving the sensation that Douluo Planet itself was stretching its limbs.
Su Ming parried continuously, shattering the numerous sword lights within Slaughter City.
Simultaneously, his golden body also became damaged.
Blood Source Power.
Power accumulated within his body surged forth, healing his wounds and repairing his golden body.
When he returned to peak condition, he seemed to sense something.
"The God Realm is fighting?"
His expression turned odd.
Because the Shura God was wantonly attacking the lower plane, moreover through a place like Slaughter City akin to a trial space, acting brutally without cleaning up afterward, Su Ming could inversely perceive the situation over there.
Also, the Elemental Gods' descent greatly moved him. He genuinely felt it because he had obtained the Elemental Gods' faith. If he wished, his Douluo 3 main body could completely choose to become an Elemental God upon future ascension.
"Truly insane. One person fighting against four Divine King-level combatants."
Elemental Gods, Sin Gods, Destruction, and Life.
These four all possessed Divine King combat strength.
Yet the Shura God appeared to disregard all four.
Su Ming could feel the Shura God's power increasing frenziedly.
Then, a familiar power emerged.
"This is... Rakshasa God Power?"
Su Ming's heart stirred slightly.
Shura and Rakshasa were originally one.
This was something Su Ming had guessed before. Now, sensing the Rakshasa God Power and the stirring of Rakshasa faith, he basically confirmed this.
"How could I let you have your way?"
Without another word, Su Ming immediately began causing trouble.
Wanting to re-fuse with Rakshasa's power? Dream on.
Thus, Su Ming revealed his Rakshasa faith.
His cultivation in Rakshasa authority wasn't extensive, but progress was significant.
Hunting Evil Spirit Masters and clearing out the Holy Spirit Cult in Douluo 2 and 3 had given him considerable advancement in this aspect.
In an era without the Rakshasa God, this authority naturally fell upon all Evil Spirit Masters. By killing them, Su Ming had stealthily claimed this authority bit by bit.
He was much more restrained in Douluo 2, but in Douluo 3, there was no need for concealment.
Additionally, his Douluo 3 main body had also cleared out god-level wraiths in the Qilin Small World, attracting particular attention from the Rakshasa authority.
Of course, even all this was far from enough for Su Ming to contend for the Rakshasa God Seat. After all, Shura and Rakshasa were originally one. As an outsider, he couldn't possibly outcompete the Shura God himself.
But if it was just to obstruct momentarily, it was possible.
However, after infiltrating Douluo Plane's power and sensing the God Realm's battle situation, Su Ming felt that merely obstructing momentarily seemed insufficient.
He broke through Slaughter City's restrictions and looked into the distance, his gaze fixed precisely on Spirit City.
