"Yan Yan, Lingling—you've finally ascended!"
The Goddess of Life had been paying close attention to Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ye Yu.
The moment she sensed the two women's ascension, she hurried over with the God of Destruction to greet them at the place where they—and Ye Yu—had entered the Divine Realm.
Smiling warmly at the two women, she greeted them first before turning her gaze upon Ye Yu.
"Ye Yu, welcome to the Divine Realm."
"Your Excellencies, Goddess of Life, God of Destruction."
Ye Yu nodded politely in return.
"Now that you've ascended, Yan Yan, Lingling, you two will succeed us in the Divine Realm," the Goddess of Life said.
"We've already entrusted the Evil God and Kindness God to guide you once you assume your duties. Until we meet again."
After their brief greeting, the two deities—already impatient—tore open space and descended toward a chosen lower realm, where they would seal their divine power, reincarnate, and be reborn as mortals to nurture new offspring.
Once the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life had departed, Ye Yu accompanied Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling under the guidance of divine attendants to visit the Life God Temple and Destruction God Temple.
After finishing the tour, Ye Yu's expression grew cold.
It was time to find the Asura God and Sea God Poseidon—and end them.
Ye Yu had always repaid kindness with generosity. But he was also a man who never forgot enmity. For every slight, he would answer in kind.
Since the Asura God and Poseidon had once harbored murderous intent toward him, he would make them pay.
Moreover, though Yan Yan and Lingling now held god positsion, they were still inexperienced.
Leaving enemies like Asura and Poseidon unchecked would only invite trouble. Eliminating them was the wisest course.
After confirming the locations of their temples, Ye Yu went straight for the Asura God Temple.
Before long, a towering crimson temple appeared before him. Its walls gleamed like bloodstone veined with black patterns, exuding solemnity and killing intent.
Stopping in the distance, Ye Yu sneered. With a thought, he summoned his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul.
Brilliant blue-gold light erupted as a crystalline giant tree, its trunk over a hundred meters thick and its crown soaring several kilometers into the heavens, manifested behind him. Its translucent body seemed to cradle sun, moon, and stars within.
Nine radiant blue-gold Spirit Rings rose at his feet, circling his body.
Eighth Spirit Ability—Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!
His eighth ring flared, releasing surging waves of Spirit Power.
The ground trembled violently. With booming cracks, fissures split open and spread outward.
From the riven earth, colossal Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees—hundreds of meters thick and thousands of meters tall—erupted skyward, shattering the Asura God Temple into rubble.
An endless crystalline forest of blue-gold filled the horizon.
The divine attendants of the Asura Temple screamed as the trees coiled around them like serpents, binding them immobile.
"What is this?!"
From within the ruined temple, a furious roar echoed—the Asura God himself.
A crimson storm of sword qi exploded outward, shredding swathes of the towering trees into fragments.
A streak of blood-red light shot into the sky, forming the figure of the Asura God.
"It's you!"
His eyes fixed on Ye Yu, rage twisting his features. His voice dripped with venom.
"Bold brat—you dare destroy my temple? On Douluo Continent I couldn't touch you. But here, in the Divine Realm, you will die!"
His killing intent surged sky-high. With a roar, he raised the genuine Asura Demon Sword and unleashed his might.
"Die! Asura Domain! Asura—Judgment!"
Pouring all of his divine power into the strike, the Asura God slashed downward.
A blood-red crescent sword qi tore across the heavens, carving a bottomless chasm into the ground, severing the colossal Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees that blocked its path, surging straight toward Ye Yu.
But just as the Asura God expected his Judgment to tear apart the vast azure forest…
His grin froze.
The attack had only carved a fissure less than a hundred meters deep before its power drained away completely.
Impossible!
Fury and disbelief screamed in the Asura God's heart.
He was the inheritor of a God King-level Asura Position—a true God King!
That Tang Chen, who had inherited the Asura God position before, was merely a fresh Rank 100 and could not compare. Losing to Ye Yu might have made sense for him.
But him? A true God King?!
"Is that all?"
Ye Yu sneered, lips curling in scorn as the attack faded into nothing.
"Now it's my turn."
Eighth Spirit Ability—Top Transformed Buddha!
Radiant azure-gold light lit up half the heavens as an immense figure emerged behind Ye Yu.
A Blue Silver Thousand-Armed Buddha, over sixteen kilometers tall, loomed high enough to prop up the sky itself. Its compassionate visage held a lotus-pinching mudra, serene and solemn.
Then, as the ninth ring ignited, the entire Buddha turned dazzling golden, like a statue cast of purest metal.
A vast electromagnetic field erupted from its body.
In the next instant, ten thousand arms blurred into countless afterimages. Each fist roared with thunder-dragons, cascading down like a meteor storm, crashing toward the Asura God.
Under the suppression of the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, the Asura God could not evade.
In mere moments, his body was smashed apart in mid-air under the endless barrage—the Electromagnetic Force: Pegasus Meteor Fist of the Blue Silver Thousand-Armed Buddha—erasing even his divine soul with mountain-shattering, city-destroying lightning might.
When the storm faded, nothing remained at the Asura God's place but a single blood-red sphere—his god position.
Ye Yu calmly collected it into his Blue Silver Space.
And since the Divine Realm was not vast, the spectacle of the towering crystal forest and the golden Buddha propping up the skies did not go unnoticed.
Many gods witnessed it.
When this awe-inspiring scene unfolded, countless gods across the Divine Realm were shaken to their very core.
