Chapter 196 Destruction and the Waterloo of Asura!
This time, the tremors in the divine realm were even more intense than before!
A massive, emerald-green beam of light pierced directly through the dome of the Divine Realm Committee.
Every deity felt their previously stagnant divine power suddenly become active!
The Goddess of Life, at the center of the beam, underwent a dramatic transformation.
The phantom of the ancient Tree of Life behind her began to grow wildly!
The trunk became thicker, and golden veins appeared on the originally verdant leaves.
The Fruit of Life!
The Substitute Death Passive!
This was practically a life-saving divine skill!
"The Fruit of Life..."
The Goddess of Life looked at the three crystal-clear fruits that had just materialized in her hand, her eyes gleaming with delight.
"With this, even if Destruction is severely injured, I can instantly pull him back."
Her first thought was always of her husband.
The God of Destruction, meanwhile, was staring intently at the third reward.
"A Substitute Death..."
As a radical, his greatest worry was that his gentle wife would be injured in the chaos of the divine realm.
Now, with this life-saving trump card, he could finally act without restraint!
"Good! Excellent!"
The God of Destruction clenched his fist, turned to look at the God of Evil beside him, a hint of smugness in his eyes: "See that? This is my wife's divine weapon!"
The God of Evil: ...
At this moment, three of the five great god-kings of the divine realm were already "taken," leaving only the God of Destruction and the God of Asura, who exchanged glances.
A thick smell of gunpowder filled the air.
"Hmph."
The God of Asura snorted coldly, the Asura Demon Sword in his hand blazing with blood-red light, exuding a chilling killing intent.
"Destruction, it seems the next ranking will be our battlefield."
"My Asura Demon Sword is a supreme artifact that reigns supreme over slaughter. In terms of attack power, no one in the God Realm can surpass it!"
"I will surely have a place among the top five!"
The God of Destruction was not to be outdone. Purple divine lightning of destruction exploded around him, tearing the surrounding space to shreds: "What a joke! The will to destroy is the purest destructive force in the universe!"
"My Scepter of Destruction is the true king of destruction!"
"I'm determined to take the top three!"
The two powerful figures clashed head-on, while the other gods trembled in the corners, not daring to speak.
Just then, the sky trembled again!
This time, it was no longer a single color. Instead, a violent, extremely turbulent, purplish-black lightning bolt, filled with the aura of destruction and annihilation, instantly tore the sky apart!
That was the true essence of destruction!
Above the sky, the sky, which was originally dyed green by the aura of life, was instantly torn apart by an incomparably thick purplish-black lightning bolt!
That lightning contained not a trace of life, only pure destruction to the extreme!
That was the end of all things, the prelude to the collapse of the world.
Faced with this terrifying will, the beings who had just felt the gentle kindness of the Goddess of Life now felt their souls tremble, as if they would be reduced to ashes in the next second.
[Artifact Ranking, Sixth Place!]
The scene depicts a shattered void ruin.
A tall figure draped in a purple-black cloak stands proudly in the center of a sea of lightning, holding a scepter.
At the top of the scepter is an amethyst that resembles a black hole; with each flash, the surrounding space collapses.
[Artifact Name: Scepter of Destruction]
[Holder: God of Destruction]
[Affiliation: Temple of Destruction]
[Quality: Super Artifact]
[Reason for Ranking:]
The ultimate in destructive power! The embodiment of the thought of destruction!
It is one of the sharpest spears in the divine realm.
If the Tree of Life is the creator of the world, then the Scepter of Destruction exists to destroy it.
In the hands of the God of Destruction, it can easily detonate the core of a planet, triggering an interstellar catastrophe.
Every swing of it represents the collapse of the old order.
In terms of pure destructive power, it ranks among the top of all super artifacts!
"What?!"
The God of Destruction stared at the dazzling "sixth place," his red eyes under his cloak widening instantly, the destructive lightning around him almost going out of control and blowing up his own temple!
"Sixth?!"
"I'm only sixth?!"
"Not even in the top five?!"
The God of Destruction's mentality collapsed!
He was just mocking the Evil God King for being ninth, and now he was only three places higher than him?
"I refuse to accept this! This is impossible!"
The God of Destruction roared. "In terms of destructive power, besides Shura's broken sword, who can surpass me? Are all the top five defensive artifacts?"
The Goddess of Life gently took his hand and softly comforted him, "Little Purple, calm down. Sixth place is already very good, and... look at the rewards."
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. Law Sublimation: Destruction God Thunder advances to Annihilation Purple Heaven Thunder! (Power increased by 50%, with the "Irreparable" attribute! Anyone injured by this thunder will never heal unless they possess healing power at the level of the Ancient Tree of Life!)]
[2. Artifact Combat Skill: Doomsday Judgment - Great Collapse! (Charges for three seconds, unleashing a world-destroying strike on a designated plane! Can instantly destroy a physical object the size of half a Douluo Star!)]
[3. Origin Feedback: Destruction Intent Materialization! (Can summon three "Destruction Clones" with 80% of the original's combat power, lasting for ten minutes!)]
Seeing these extremely violent rewards, the God of Destruction's anger finally subsided somewhat.
"Irreparable attributes... and the Destruction Clone..."
The God of Destruction took a deep breath, gripping his scepter tightly. With these three clones possessing 80% of his combat power, plus the Annihilation Purple Heaven Lightning, even Asura wouldn't be his match!
But he knew Asura wasn't even on the list yet!
"Hmph! Sixth it is!"
The God of Destruction sneered, turning to look in Asura's direction, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes.
"Asura, I'll see where your broken sword ranks!"
"Since I'm outside the top five, you won't have it easy either!"
As if in response to the God of Destruction's curse, the purplish-black lightning in the sky suddenly dissipated.
In its place was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Clang!!!
A clear and resounding sword cry echoed through the heavens!
Just that one sword cry made all the sword-wielding Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent tremble and worship their Martial Souls!
Even Chen Xin's martial spirit let out a fearful wail, its blade bending as if submitting to the emperor within!
The sky turned blood red, an intense, impenetrable killing intent, the condensed resentment of countless fallen gods and demons.
Within this sea of blood, a long, slender, and ferocious demonic sword, entirely crimson, slowly emerged.
Its blade was covered in intricate demonic runes, each line seemingly flowing with blood.
[Divine Weapon Ranking, Fifth Place!]
