With Ye Wen's normally composed character, he could have chosen to endure and slowly cultivate Douluo's own strength, eventually retaliating against the god realm. Wouldn't that absolve him of taking direct action?
But now, standing before his two beloved wives, Ye Wen no longer chose to yield.
He wanted to protect them!
And it wasn't as if they couldn't win. Did they really think this King of God Kings didn't care about face? At worst, he could overturn the god realm first and then slowly rebuild this world to repay its debts later.
At this moment, Ye Wen refused to back down.
With Ye Wen completely dropping all pretense, even if Destruction God King and the others didn't want to fight, they had no choice but to reveal their respective super divine artifacts, facing off across an unknown number of light-years.
However, at this moment, Ye Wen sensed two gazes fixed upon him from behind.
Gu Yuena and Na'er were now fully resurrected.
But the two women weren't in a good mood. Ye Wen could clearly feel their angry stares locked onto him. If not for his current weakened state and the presence of enemies, Ye Wen was certain he would have been beaten up.
But soon, Gu Yuena and Na'er also shifted their focus, joining Ye Wen in confronting Destruction God King and the others.
Gu Yuena's gaze turned icy. Though she had long known that Destruction God King and the others weren't targeting her personally, their hostility toward the Dragon God and Ye Wen was, in essence, a provocation directed at her.
Na'er's eyes burned with fierce anger. Born as Gu Yuena's secondary personality, her emotional experiences were far more complex than Gu Yuena's. In her heart, Ye Wen was not only her partner but also the father who had nurtured her.
"Gu Yuena," Na'er said softly.
The two were beings of shared will. Gu Yuena instantly understood Na'er's meaning, and simultaneously, they extended their left and right hands, clasping each other's tightly.
In an instant, a shocking surge of energy erupted violently around them.
The next moment, a colossal silver dragon covered in semi-circular, seven-colored scales emerged, its slender yet majestic form stretching over a hundred meters long. Even from afar, it appeared as a massive behemoth—only the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could rival such a figure on Douluo Planet.
By now, Ye Wen had vanished without a trace, but the immense primal forces he had gathered now perfectly enveloped the silver dragon.
Though Gu Yuena and Na'er were fully resurrected, due to the lack of time, they hadn't accumulated enough divine power to return to the God King level.
However, there existed a special extraordinary technique on the Douluo Continent known as the Spirit Fusion Skill, capable of combining the powers of multiple individuals into one.
Gu Yuena and Na'er's resurrection relied entirely on Ye Wen severing his martial soul bloodline. Similarly, their bodies were now a perfect match with Ye Wen's weakened frame.
Combined with omnipotent divine power, the strongest Spirit Fusion Skill in Douluo history was born.
Spirit Fusion Skill – Silver Dragon Emperor!!!
During the reign of the Dragon God, all dragon deities of God King rank could only bear the title of "King."
But now, this silver dragon, whose potential and strength undeniably touched the pinnacle of God King, deservedly earned the crown and could rightfully be called an emperor!
As the silver emperor opened its eyes, the seven-colored radiance enveloping its body grew even more dazzling. Its overwhelming divine might distorted the air around it, manifesting the forces of the seven elemental laws in visible forms.
But that wasn't all. A golden glow appeared, transforming into a nine-horned crown that floated above the silver emperor's head.
Simultaneously, the silver emperor flapped its wings, and powerful silver light shimmered brilliantly, eventually forming a suit of gleaming mystical armor—the Silver Dragon Armor.
With the completion of the armor, the silver emperor's aura surged visibly, reaching the God King level in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such divine might, the spatial structure of Douluo Planet struggled to withstand the pressure, beginning to visibly distort.
Within the Silver Dragon Emperor, Ye Wen felt four delicate hands pressing on his shoulders. The two women spoke in unison:
"Dear husband, teach these guys a lesson."
A flicker of helplessness passed through Ye Wen's eyes. He had just managed to separate his martial soul bloodline, so why had they merged back together again?
But now was not the time for complaints. Ye Wen clenched the dragon claw and felt the terrifying violence coursing through it, a sinister smile spreading across his lips.
Ye Wen abruptly commanded the Silver Dragon Emperor to open its massive jaws. Instead of unleashing a deafening roar, it seemed to transform into a ravenous beast, devouring the vast surrounding primal energy.
As the Silver Dragon Emperor closed its jaws, its wings flapped once more, forming an oppressive wave of terror.
This entire sequence unfolded in the span of a few blinks.
From an unknown number of light-years away, Destruction God King watched in shock, his grip tightening on the Staff of Destruction.
"We underestimated this guy!
Back then, he was undoubtedly someone who could rival the Dragon God. How could such a person be merely the Dragon God's contingency plan?"
The Goddess of Life nodded gravely. Ji Dong and Lie Yan, though unaware of the details from the past, felt utterly insecure in the face of Ye Wen's overwhelming presence.
This feeling was unbearable, reminiscent of when they had faced the God of Slaughter.
Through Ye Wen's actions, though the internal core hadn't reached its former standards, his mastery of laws allowed him to temporarily unleash strength far surpassing Destruction God King and the others, thanks to the surging divine power.
As the saying goes, wielding a sharp blade naturally breeds murderous intent. Even as Ye Wen noticed Destruction God King and the others showing signs of wanting to back down, he now only wished to vent his inner brutality.
Chaos dragon flames spilled from his mouth, and Ye Wen arrogantly declared, "Don't die so easily."
Destruction God King and the others paled. They sensed the terrifying attack Ye Wen was preparing—an amalgamation of the seven foundational elemental laws, layered with time, space, and various other fearsome laws.
"Damn it, you madman! Are you trying to destroy the god realm?!" Destruction God King shouted incredulously.
Though Ye Wen viewed the Douluo God Realm as a cage, it was still an invaluable sanctuary and cultivation ground for many gods due to its composition of vast divine power.
Even though the Destruction God King had always harbored grievances against Ye Wen, he never thought Ye Wen would want to destroy such a precious place.
But the attack Ye Wen was preparing now was even more chaotic and outrageous than Destruction God King's own destructive laws. If this attack landed directly on the god realm…
For a realm already somewhat fractured, it would be akin to another brutal beating, potentially collapsing it entirely!
And this was something the Destruction God King absolutely did not want to see. He had plans to expand the Douluo God Realm after seizing power—his ambitions couldn't end here!
Compared to Destruction God King, who still had time to spout nonsense, The Goddess of Life reacted immediately, channeling divine power and addressing the others:
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and close the spatial channel!
Even if his strength surpasses ours, as long as we close the spatial channel, no matter how strong his attack is, it won't reach us across the vast cosmos!"
Only then did Ji Dong and Lie Yan snap out of it, hurriedly using their divine power to assist The Goddess of Life in closing the spatial channel.
But soon, all three of them changed expressions. The Goddess of Life exclaimed in disbelief:
"How is this possible?! This is the spatial channel opened by our god realm—why can't we control it?!"
Indeed, although the four God Kings were mighty figures, their abilities were bound by rules. Though they possessed some spatial capabilities, opening a spatial gate across light-years wasn't achieved through their own power but rather by relying on the legacy of the Dragon God.
Ye Wen heard the panicked voices of the four God Kings and couldn't help but smirk smugly.
But he certainly wouldn't tell them that after conquering countless Douluo worlds, he had thoroughly unraveled the secrets of the Douluo God Realm. Moreover, his primary rule comprehension included spatial laws. Competing with him for control of the spatial gate? Dream on!
Meanwhile, Ye Wen had completed the preparation of his attack.
But Destruction God King struck first, successfully landing a blow on Ye Wen.
When The Goddess of Life mentioned losing control of the spatial gate, Destruction God King realized the dire situation—it meant they had lost control over the start and end of this battle.
And Ye Wen's stance clearly indicated he was going all out, sparing no effort.
After less than half a second of contemplation, Destruction God King made his decision:
To fight!
If the situation was irretrievable, then the only option was to settle it with their hands.
Thus, Destruction God King immediately wielded his super divine artifact, the Staff of Destruction, launching a preemptive strike against Ye Wen.
Though this attack wasn't as powerful as Ye Wen's, Destruction God King was confident in his destructive laws. Even a hasty attack, amplified by a super divine artifact, would severely wound Ye Wen if it hit, giving their side an advantage.
But soon, the Destruction God King was stunned.
Purple lightning, carrying his destructive laws, slammed heavily onto the Silver Dragon Emperor. However, the severe injury Destruction God King had anticipated did not appear.
The Silver Dragon Armor enveloping the Silver Dragon Emperor shimmered briefly, but remained radiant and flawless.
"How is this possible?!" Destruction God King exclaimed in disbelief.
Throughout the god realm, aside from the infamous Execution (Asura) God, his attack power was unmatched—even among the former nine dragon kings. This had always been the source of Destruction God King's confidence.
But now, his destructive laws, which he had always relied on, had failed!
Naturally, Ye Wen had no intention of explaining his abilities to his enemies.
The golden crown and silver armor may have appeared as mere external objects, but they were indeed manifestations of Ye Wen's authority.
The golden crown symbolized absolute power, with violence at its core. Combined with the dragon race's most supreme physical form, the Silver Dragon Emperor represented absolute strength and symbolized the former Golden Dragon King.
The silver armor incorporated Gu Yuena and Na'er's understanding of elemental and creation laws, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. More importantly, it reflected Ye Wen's mastery of countless laws.
As for the number of these laws, Ye Wen could only say they represented the divine laws of the Douluo civilization he had created.
The number of gods and the laws they comprehended in the Douluo civilization corresponded directly to Ye Wen's own understanding of laws. Even the lowest-level ones were equivalent to first-tier divine laws, showcasing the terrifying depth of the Douluo civilization Ye Wen had built.
And since everything in existence has its strengths and weaknesses, as long as the enemy's attack didn't exploit a loophole in a law Ye Wen hadn't mastered, he could neutralize it with his understanding of laws.
Even Ye Wen was somewhat taken aback when he discovered the extent of this Spirit Fusion Skill's capabilities. Though he had studied numerous laws, this was the first time he had used them so brazenly.
At this moment, Ye Wen finally launched his first counterattack!
Spirit Fusion Skill – Chaos Roar Cannon!!!
A terrifying dragon flame, imbued with countless laws, erupted from Ye Wen's mouth, piercing the heavens and painting the sky with endless colors—a beautiful yet deadly sight.
But the Destruction God King and the others couldn't appreciate the beauty as they faced the attack.
After realizing they had lost control of the spatial gate, the four of them acted in unison, focusing their efforts and simultaneously wielding their super divine artifacts to launch another attack.
Staff of Destruction – Annihilation Divine Thunder!
Ancient Tree of Life – Holy Protection!
Heart of Kindness – Pseudo Ultimate Impact!
Scales of Judgment – Pseudo Karma Retribution!
The five God King-level attacks collided fiercely at the edge of Douluo Planet's atmosphere, unleashing a horrifying force that caused localized cataclysms, painting a scene of apocalyptic destruction.
A flicker of surprise passed through the Silver Dragon Emperor's eyes. It hadn't expected its attack to be blocked. But soon, a hint of mockery appeared in its gaze.
Who said dragon attacks could only rely on breath?
The Silver Dragon Emperor spread its wings, and arrays began to materialize on its surface.
Spirit Fusion Skill – Law Reckoning!
In an instant, countless specialized attacks—earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, space, lightning, spirit, and more—began to coalesce, then unleashed furiously toward the sky.
Destruction God King now wore a mask of agony.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this guy?! How does he know so many laws?!"
The Goddess of Life, the primary defender, was now drenched in sweat, exclaiming angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, Little Zi. I can't hold on much longer.
This guy was definitely once a master on par with the Dragon God. With our current strength, we can't defeat him. We need to call back those two elders!"
Destruction God King nodded solemnly, then addressed Ji Dong and Lie Yan, who were assisting in the attack.
"Leave it to me. I'll do my best to block him. Use this opportunity to summon those two elders!"
Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged glances. Though they didn't want to act like children calling for adults when they couldn't win, desperate times called for desperate measures. Simultaneously withdrawing, they focused on their super divine artifacts, then crushed and destroyed them!
