BOOM!
Sky and earth trembled, the ground split open, and a crimson rain exploded within the golden beam, pouring down like a torrential storm and drowning all of Central Plains in blood. The skies wept scarlet, staining the land beneath into a vast, hellish red.
Yet Soul Pill Emperor showed no surprise. His attack had been blocked, yes—but his opponent was said to be the strongest existence on the continent. How could someone like that be felled so easily? He knew better than to believe such wishful thinking.
"This power… intoxicating. A thousand years of pursuit… finally, it wasn't in vain!" Soul Pill Emperor gazed at his trembling hands, exhilaration coursing through his body at the strength now surging within.
"Blood Demon's Heart-Eroding Thunder!"
His cold whisper echoed as he thrust out a finger toward the blood-drenched sky. At his command, the crimson clouds churned violently like a living, grotesque organ, collapsing inward with monstrous force.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As the vast sea of blood clouds contracted, the heavens themselves seemed to collapse. Jet-black fissures of space ripped open across the sky at terrifying speed—until the blood clouds suddenly erupted outward.
A deluge of blood-red lightning bolts, each the size of mountains, rained down like a storm toward Goku. The destructive energy woven into them was enough to terrify even the most unshakable soul.
"If this is the best you can do, then how disappointing."
Amidst the downpour of lightning, Goku stood motionless, his expression calm. Before Soul Pill Emperor's disbelieving eyes, he raised one hand—just one—and effortlessly absorbed the strike of billions of blood-red bolts. No matter how fierce or wild they raged, his figure remained unmoving, unyielding, like a mountain rooted in eternity.
"N-No… impossible…" Soul Pill Emperor's face twisted in shock. For the first time, cold dread seeped into his heart. This—this was not something he could accept.
"I have stepped into the realm of Dou God! The highest power of this world! I refuse to believe it! I will not accept that the realm I've chased for a thousand years… could be so weak!"
His scarlet eyes flared brighter, the golden hue in his right eye drowned in crimson madness. Opening his mouth wide, he released a horrifying suction force. The boundless blood clouds across the Central Plains dissolved into scarlet streams, pouring into his maw like a flood.
And it did not stop there. The very spiritual energy of the Central Plains surged violently, drawn like a tidal wave into his body.
His figure expanded grotesquely, swelling in moments into a towering giant tens of thousands of meters tall. Scarlet light solidified into blood-red armor, wrapping his colossal form in unbreakable plating.
Flames burst forth across the armor, igniting into a blazing inferno of crimson fire that spread until it blanketed the skies. The land below became a furnace—rivers evaporated, forests burned to ash in instants, the world itself turned into a sea of fire.
"Hahaha! Goku! Behold—the Blood God Body born of my ascension into the Dou God Realm! Now… what can you possibly do against me?"
His thunderous voice shook heaven and earth. Every exhale rippled space itself, flames and lightning spewing from his breath. His aura now eclipsed even Goku's.
"So this… is the body of a Dou God…"
Far in the distance, ancient powerhouses like Gu Yuan stood frozen in awe. The colossal, flaming giant that blocked out half the Sky filled them with dread. None doubted that a single punch from him could shatter tens of thousands of miles into nothing but ruin.
"Stepping into Dou God has made your tongue arrogant, hasn't it?" Goku's voice cut through the inferno. Calm, sharp, unwavering. "But I'm no longer in the mood to toy with ants. Soul Pill Emperor… today, I'll show you what true power is. I'll show you true fear. Your so-called Dou God realm… in my eyes, you are still nothing but an insect."
His words spread like an unshakable decree. Slowly, Goku ascended into the skies, raising his right hand. In his palm, a golden sphere of light began to condense, expanding rapidly, radiating waves of pure destruction.
The destructive aura spread across the entire continent, filling every soul with suffocating terror.
He would crush Soul Pill Emperor's spirit, drown him in hopelessness, and let him witness firsthand the fate of those who dared provoke him.
The golden orb swelled, space itself cracking apart beneath its presence. The earth collapsed, the skies darkened, thunder rumbled endlessly. In moments, the entire continent was smothered in silence, drowned in darkness.
Only that golden sun-like sphere remained, held aloft casually in one man's hand—a god among men.
Its destructive force shook the hearts of all who felt it. Fear—not just of death, but of complete annihilation—sank into the very souls of those who lived beneath this sky.
None could stand. Across the land, people collapsed to their knees, trembling, powerless to even look upon it.
Even the titanic blood-flame giant—Soul Pill Emperor himself—could not withstand it. His legs gave out, and with a deafening crash, he fell to the ground, trembling like a broken mortal.
"No… impossible… this can't be real… No being should be this powerful… Impossible…!"
The proud Soul Pill Emperor, who had dreamt for a thousand years of supreme ascension, now quivered like prey before a predator. Goku's sudden eruption of power reduced him to despair.
This was not the strength of man. This was the despair of a mortal who had gazed upon a True God.
The difference between them was not one of degrees. It was a difference of worlds—of man and god, of ant and storm.
Regret flooded his heart. Fear consumed his soul. The golden sphere pressed downward, and with it came the weight of extinction itself.
At last Soul Pill Emperor understood. His struggle, his ascension, his grand proclamations—everything was nothing more than the farce of a clown.
Hun Tiandi and the Emperor Nascent Pill had fused, their minds and wills becoming one, Yet Hun Tiandi's boundless ambition and insatiable pursuit of power lived on within this new being.
But now his dream had been utterly shattered.
Soul Pill Emperor was on the brink of collapse. Was everything he had strived for nothing more than a cruel joke? Was the Dou God realm not the strongest power in existence? He had sacrificed everything—his very life—to obtain it, only to be reduced to this… What meaning did his thousand-year struggle have?
"Now do you understand the gulf between us, insect? Then disappear into dust!"
Goku's voice was calm, almost indifferent, as he glanced toward the storm-darkened Sky. A subtle glint flickered in his eyes as his palm pressed downward. The colossal golden orb slowly descended, radiating waves of annihilation so great that even the very fabric of the continent could no longer bear its weight. Space shattered like glass, and those too slow to flee were ripped apart instantly into clouds of blood.
Watching the golden orb sink lower, Gu Yuan and the other powerhouses felt their scalps go numb, their hearts gripped with terror. If that sphere truly struck the ground… would anyone on the continent survive?
Life and death hung in the balance. Suppressing their fear, the ancient experts forced themselves to rise from the trembling earth. Their bodies flickered into motion, fleeing at their fastest speed. They knew it was pointless—that no distance could save them—but instinct demanded they cling to even the smallest shred of hope.
Inside the World Ring, the women watched the screen in shock.
"No way… Goku really released it? Does he actually mean to destroy this world?" Bulma's voice trembled, her face pale with disbelief.
"So this power truly exists…" Cai Lin and the others were too stunned to speak. Before, they had doubted Bulma's words. Now, as they watched, they believed—Goku truly wielded the power to destroy the world with a single gesture.
"That doesn't make sense. Goku's not the type to just casually destroy a world," Saeko muttered, her brows furrowing.
Only Android 18 sat silently, her gaze fixed on the clouds above. Her brow furrowed, but at the corner of her lips, a faint, knowing smile appeared.
Cai Lin caught the strange look and asked in confusion, "What is it, 18? Did you notice something?"
"Nothing… just an interesting presence. Don't ask. You'll see soon enough."
The golden sphere continued to descend, the sound of cracking space echoing endlessly. The once-unyielding firmament splintered apart.
Below, Soul Pill Emperor's face had gone completely pale. His body trembled uncontrollably, every drop of blood drained from his skin. He wanted to flee—but the golden orb had locked onto him, its aura crushing him until even the act of breathing became impossible. The terror was not physical—it clawed straight into his soul, leaving him on the verge of collapse.
"Move! Move, damn you! MOVE!"
His roars echoed hollowly. But no matter how he struggled, his body no longer obeyed him. Paralyzed in despair, his eyes remained wide, forced to watch as the golden orb descended upon him.
"So… this is the punishment you've given me…?"
Soul Pill Emperor's final shout was filled with rage and unwillingness. He cast one last desperate look at the figure floating above, calm and unshaken. Then the light engulfed him.
Before the orb even touched him, his body melted away like snow beneath a blazing sun—erased in an instant.
The golden sphere did not stop. It plunged into the earth, shattering it like tofu, sinking deeper and deeper. The world convulsed. Jagged fissures tore across the land, opening into endless abysses. Space itself collapsed, thunder roared, volcanoes erupted, magma spewed forth, and black lightning rained from the Sky.
The scene was apocalyptic. The entire continent teetered on the brink of annihilation.
The orb sank further, space continued to collapse—until the moment it reached halfway into the earth, ready to detonate.
Then—
A faint sigh echoed across the Sky. The sigh of an old man, weary and timeless.
In an instant, space and time froze. Then reversed. The shattered layers of the continent rapidly reformed, fissures sealing, ruins rebuilding, as if the destruction itself had been unwritten.
The ground split open once more, revealing a bottomless black void—a blackness so absolute, so silent, so terrifying that any soul who gazed upon it felt as if it would devour their very essence.
The golden orb descended, but instead of exploding, it was swallowed whole by the abyss. Compared to the endless void, it was no more than a firefly swallowed by night. In an instant, it vanished—banished from this world entirely.
The abyss sealed, vanishing without a trace. The black clouds dispersed. Sunlight returned to the land. The continent, bathed once more in light, erupted into cheers. They thought the disaster had passed. They believed the apocalypse had been averted.
But then—
An incomprehensible will descended upon the continent.
A will beyond heaven, beyond earth. A will that transcended all existence.
This was no mere pressure, no aura—it was the will of the world itself.
The souls of every being trembled. From the lowest mortal to the highest Dou Saint, none could resist. Whether they wished it or not, they all fell to their knees in reverence, crushed by the weight of that boundless authority.
The will of this world had Awakened.
