They really are colleagues! Their attitudes are equally stubborn. Yun Ming watched the movements of the God of Destruction, pondering in his heart.
On the other side, facing the two God Kings who had suddenly appeared, Qian Renxue's expression shifted slightly. She transformed into a Golden Sun, dashed into the boundless Void, landed beside Yun Ming, and transmitted her voice to him.
'Be careful, they are very strong!'
Previously, Asura alone had already been able to suppress her; now that two more God Kings had arrived, Qian Renxue had to be on her highest guard.
The God of Destruction turned his crimson eyes toward Qian Renxue and said.
'Newcomer, leave this place and I shall let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, according to the laws of the God Realm, those who resist the Law Enforcement God by force shall be executed!'
Qian Renxue raised her Angel Holy Sword, Sacred Fire swirling around her body, and pointed her blade at the God of Destruction.
'Those who hinder this palace from seeking the truth shall also be executed without mercy!'
She, Qian, had cried and suffered, but she had never been servile. The God of Destruction wanted to use his status to suppress her? Who does he think he is?! Additionally, she transmitted to Yun Ming.
'I will hold these two newcomers back in a moment. You go and finish off Asura, then we will join forces to drive back the enemy.'
Yun Ming glanced at Qian Renxue, his face still as proud and unyielding as ever. Fine! She was quite the martyr, willing to take the 'beating' herself, but forget it; her small frame couldn't take many hits.
Yun Ming raised his arm, blocking Qian Renxue.
'No need. You go deal with Tang San; leave these three to me.'
Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment, her emotions urgent.
'Are you joking?'
Yun Ming: 'I am serious.'
Qian Renxue: 'I am serious too!'
'.'
The God of Destruction hadn't had much of a reaction to Qian Renxue's response, but seeing the two whispering to each other so nonchalantly in front of Him, His expression turned sour. The purple divine power on His body became increasingly restless, and the power of destruction surged, forcing even the Space Storm to retreat.
'Since you refuse, then die together!'
His body moved with His will. The Destruction Divine Power erupted, and He struck at the two with His scepter. Massive bolts of purple-black lightning were released from the tip of the scepter, sweeping toward them like an ocean of thunder.
This was the Silent Extinction Divine Thunder of the God of Destruction. If this stuff were to hit the ground, a single strike could easily destroy a city or level a mountain range. Now that so many were attacking at once, even a Main God would be unable to withstand it.
The two ended their conversation. Qian Renxue felt a fatal crisis; the Sacred Fire on her sword began to burn, and her Angel power was ready to strike, but Yun Ming moved a step faster than her.
Yun Ming stepped forward, shielding Qian Renxue. The Atlas Divine Spear in his hand shone with golden light, dancing in a circular motion, and a golden energy field manifested, catching every incoming purple thunderbolt one by one.
Atlas 'Hua Jie'!
In the sky, purple thunder crisscrossed and the golden spear danced; the two deities stood in confrontation from afar.
'You go finish off Tang San first; leave this to me.'
'But.'
'No more buts. If you go any later, he's going to come and stir up trouble too!'
While fending off the God of Destruction, Yun Ming urged Qian Renxue. Seeing that Yun Ming was handling it with ease and didn't seem to be struggling, Qian Renxue stopped being stubborn, as Tang San's aura was indeed rising.
'Hold on. I will slay Tang San and return immediately.'
Having made her decision, Qian Renxue set off at once. With a flap of her Angel Six Wings, she covered a thousand meters in an instant.
'Hmph—'
The God of Destruction let out a cold snort, and the scepter in His hand swung again. A massive wave of thunder launched once more, attempting to intercept Qian Renxue. In front of Him, wanting to come and go as she pleased—who does she think He is!!
However, before the Silent Extinction Divine Thunder could catch up to Qian Renxue, it was enveloped by the suddenly expanded golden energy field and crushed to nothingness.
'You won't be able to get away unless you defeat me.'
The God of Destruction merely glanced at the departing Qian Renxue and made a decision. Not to mention that Yun Ming was blocking Him, making it difficult to pursue, even if He could, Yun Ming was more important by comparison. Let's finish this side first!
'Then I shall grant your wish.'
As the words fell, He turned His scepter toward Yun Ming. The unfathomable, abyss-like Destruction Divine Power erupted at full force, and the pitch-black Void was filled with the power of destruction. He Himself, carrying rolling divine thunder, flashed in front of Yun Ming and swung the scepter toward him.
As for Asura and Life, their attention was now entirely on Yun Ming; they did not care about Qian Renxue's departure.
Looking at the pair of blood-red eyes gleaming with cold light beneath the hood, Yun Ming remained unhurried, swinging his spear upward in a lift.
'Clang—'
The Void was silent, but the collision of power and divine power was inevitable. A circle of terrifying purple-gold shockwaves spread in all directions. Wherever the shockwaves passed, all things retreated. Even the Life Ancient Tree, the Super Artifact above Life's head, lowered its protective divine light of life.
With her vision obscured by the aftermath of the battle, Life began to ask Asura.
'What do you think of that junior's cultivation?'
'See for yourself.'
Asura replied coldly. He felt that Yun Ming's true combat power was actually no stronger than His own, at most equal to Him. It was just that He had been careless and injured by a spear strike or two. Answering truthfully would make Him sound stubborn, but answering untruthfully and praising a junior was something He didn't want to do either. Since neither worked, He could only lash out. Although it was a bit unseemly to be lashing out at Life while receiving treatment, so be it!
Life had a gentle nature and assumed Asura was just in a bad mood from his injuries, so she didn't say anything more and just watched the battle quietly.
The overbearing Spear Intent on the Atlas Divine Spear struck the opponent incessantly, but the true intent of destruction on the opposing scepter was also exceptionally tough.
Yun Ming: 'The Scepter of Destruction is indeed worthy of being a Super Artifact that has existed since the beginning of the God Realm, controlling the origin of destruction. It is truly extraordinary.'
Destruction: "Since you recognize me, you should just surrender!"
Yun Ming: "."
He sighed, and since the opponent was already getting ahead of himself, he certainly wasn't going to be polite!
Yun Ming: "Then let's settle this with our hands!"
As the words fell, the Atlas Spear suddenly erupted with a burst of explosive, vibrating energy, knocking aside the Scepter of Destruction, before transforming into a shadow and lunging forward with an explosive stab.
Atlas, Annihilation!
Facing this lightning-fast, powerful thrust, Destruction dared not be the least bit careless. Although the Spear Light on the tip of the Atlas Spear had condensed and retracted, with all its momentum vanishing into nothingness—far less magnificent and domineering than his previous strikes—the sharpness that made his Divine Body ache surged against the wind, and he could not afford to be careless.
The Scepter of Destruction, shaped like a bolt of lightning, radiated an intense purple light, its terrifying intent of destruction running wild as it met the Atlas Spear head-on.
"Boom—"
The two manifested their power differently, but both were giving it their all. A fierce collision occurred between the two divine weapons.
"Again!"
With one strike failing, Yun Ming let out a roar and raised his spear to attack once more. His divine armor shimmered with golden light, and every inscription upon it bloomed with unprecedented radiance, pushing the augmentation of Yun Ming's power to its limit.
Destruction naturally had no objections; his purple robes fluttered without wind as he pushed his Divine Power to its peak, holding his scepter to meet the charge.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In this Void, the two engaged in a high-speed, high-frequency, high-burst battle, and ten thousand moves passed in the blink of an eye.
Their tracks covered a vast expanse of the Void. Wherever they passed, the Void trembled and all things were annihilated, beaten into a rare patch of "clean" space; drifting Void meteors were reduced to dust by the shockwaves of their battle, leaving not a single one behind.
Asura and Life watched the purple and gold streaks of light, which were as fast as lightning yet clung to each other like shadows, with solemn expressions. Compared to the evenly matched start, Destruction had now fallen into a disadvantage.
Soaring Dragon Throwing Universe Break, Lone Spear Nine Consecutive Border Extinction!
Yun Ming and Destruction were equal in raw strength, but his tempered spear techniques were far superior to the staff techniques of Destruction, who was a born God King. Now that Destruction's rhythm was disrupted, he was struggling to keep up with the moves.
After passively receiving another three strikes, Destruction's stance became unstable, finally revealing a gap in his defense.
"Good chance!"
With a flap of his Phoenix Wings, Yun Ming charged rapidly through the Void, his spear tip pointing straight at his chest.
The mistake came quickly, but Destruction's reaction was just as fast. He was a figure of such stature that he would naturally not be defeated so easily. Although it was too late to adjust his stance, he was not without a remedy. He released the Scepter of Destruction, controlling it with his Divine Sense to smash down toward the tip of the Atlas Spear. Although controlling a divine weapon with Divine Sense was far less powerful than wielding it by hand, it was enough to buy a moment of respite.
However, looking at the scepter about to fall, the corners of Yun Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and a flash of white light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
Space Prohibition!
The Void around the Scepter of Destruction was frozen, and the telekinetic control of his Divine Sense could not break through for the moment.
Yun Ming had not used this ability during his previous exchanges with Destruction, waiting specifically for this critical moment to seal the victory! And now, judging by the shock on Destruction's face, Yun Ming's previous concealment had worked.
However, though shocked, Destruction was not panicked. He changed his tactics again, his Destruction Divine Power erupting fully as a mass of recklessly burning purple-black divine fire suddenly exploded. In terms of destructive power, Destruction Divine Power stood at the pinnacle; even if all the other God Kings combined, they could not defeat him, and anything it touched would be wounded. Since he could not retreat unscathed, Destruction intended to trade a minor injury for a major one.
Having fought him for so long, Yun Ming naturally understood his intent, but was it really useful?
It was useless! The golden protective light on Yun Ming's body dimmed slightly, and an aura of destruction appeared in Destruction's perception. Yet, when the divine fire of destruction met the golden protective light, it was as if it had encountered its own kind, directly bypassing Yun Ming.
Hmm!
Destruction was stunned. He was the very embodiment of condensed destruction; he could not possibly have misperceived the change in the opponent's aura.
"How is this possible?"
This thought flashed through his mind.
But before he could figure it out, Yun Ming's attack arrived.
Having broken his defense twice, there was no chance for a remedy; the Atlas Spear erupted with ten thousand feet of golden light as it continued its thrust, aiming for the heart.
"Stop!"
Seeing Destruction in a critical situation, Life and Asura could no longer continue their healing; the two immediately transformed into green light and sword shadows, joining the fray.
