A colossal illusory dragon claw, infused with the powers of both god and demon, tore through space and slammed downward like the hand of heaven toward the Golden Dragon King below!
"You brat! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Faced with this attack, the Golden Dragon King descended into complete madness. The destructive divine light surrounding him instantly flared to its limit, and the destructive god core within his body began spinning violently.
His massive dragon body soared high into the sky, confronting the descending dragon claw head-on.
This was the Golden Dragon King's ultimate breakthrough—his power had reached the pinnacle of God King level. Even a first-generation God King would likely lack the courage to face it directly.
Yet, even in the face of this despair-inducing attack that could make any god change color, Chen Yi's eyes remained calm.
"An ant trying to shake a tree is merely overestimating its own strength."
The moment those words were spoken, the illusory dragon claw collided violently with the soaring Golden Dragon King.
Boom!!!
A deafening roar erupted as the forbidden land of the gods exploded. Space shattered bit by bit, revealing the raging turbulent void behind it. A storm of destructive energy then spread outward in all directions like a sphere with ferocious force.
"Uwaaaah—!"
In the next instant, under the shocked gazes of the gods, the Golden Dragon King plummeted at an even faster speed than when he had risen.
Bang!
The once-mighty Golden Dragon King's enormous body now lay completely still.
The burning red dragon eyes, once blazing with madness and violence, had lost all light. The dazzling golden radiance enveloping his body rapidly faded, and the dragon power that had once rampaged like a tidal wave vanished without a trace.
The Golden Dragon King, who possessed a peak God King physique combined with quasi-God King cultivation, was thus... destroyed!
One strike! Just one strike!
Chen Yi had shattered the despairing Golden Dragon King and killed him on the spot.
This display of power sent a storm of shock and disbelief into the hearts of every god who witnessed it!
However, killing the Golden Dragon King was not the end. As the Golden Dragon King had warned before his death—and as they had feared—the evil and destruction...
If the killing intent born from the Golden Dragon King's death spiraled out of control, it would inevitably cause terrifying contamination, erode the vast divine realm, and trigger unpredictable anomalies.
The moment the Golden Dragon King fell, Chen Yi formed hand seals.
As he moved, a massive Eight Trigrams diagram rapidly unfolded in the void around him.
The eight trigrams—Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui—interlinked, their lights flowing and generating infinite variations.
The nine palaces followed the heavenly path, suppressing all directions.
The formation spread in all directions at astonishing speed, carrying profound mysteries such as Heaven and Earth Reversal and Law Reconstruction.
The terrifying killing intent emanating from the Golden Dragon King's corpse was instantly forced into a tiny area around the body the moment it touched the light of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams formation. It could no longer spread even the slightest bit outward.
"What a magnificent technique!" the Destruction God could not help but exclaim in admiration.
The other gods breathed sighs of relief. If the killing intent did not spread, dealing with the aftermath would be far easier, and at the very least, it would not trigger a large-scale contamination disaster in the God Realm.
But that was not all. After stabilizing the killing intent, the illusory Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams covering the entire battlefield slowly began to shrink toward the center.
The illusion completely enveloped the Golden Dragon King's massive dragon body. Under the influence of the Eight Trigrams divine light, the enormous corpse gradually shrank.
Muscles, bones, scales, dragon blood... everything was refined and purified within the sacred light, ultimately transforming into a fist-sized sphere of light!
When Chen Yi extended his hand and gestured, the light orb floated lightly into his palm.
Looking at this unparalleled treasure formed from the Golden Dragon King's essence, Chen Yi could not help but smile.
"Excellent," he murmured in praise.
This was the very essence of a peak God King's physical body. If used properly, it would help these elders purify their own divine bodies and greatly enhance their physical potential.
In the future, with the aid of this item, they might be able to temper their bodies to first-level god status, remove obstacles blocking their path, and gain hope to advance even further.
What about the Silver Dragon King? Chen Yi had no intention of sharing the Golden Dragon King's legacy with her.
He might maintain some contact or limited cooperation with the Silver Dragon King for specific reasons, circumstances, or future plans, but he would never allow her to obtain power beyond his control.
The Golden Dragon King's true essence would be used only for his own people.
After ending the battle with the Golden Dragon King, Chen Yi turned toward the gods with a gentle smile.
"Alright, that's enough for today."
Upon hearing this, all the gods showed heartfelt smiles.
The greatest threat—the Golden Dragon King—had been completely eliminated without causing any harm. This was undoubtedly wonderful.
From now on, the God Realm would no longer need to expend vast resources and energy to strengthen the seal and prevent his escape. They could focus on matters beneficial to the God Realm's development.
"Thunder God's actions are an immeasurable achievement and will bring blessings to the realm of the gods!"
Praise and blessings poured in one after another. Chen Yi smiled and nodded in return.
He then flipped his hand again, revealing the authority of judgment belonging to the First Angel God, which he had reclaimed from the Asura God.
The moment the authority of judgment appeared, it trembled violently, surging with waves of joy.
It did not even need Chen Yi's instruction. It transformed into a blazing white streak of light and rushed impatiently toward Qian Renxue standing beside him, instantly piercing her brow.
Immediately after, Chen Yi took out another pure light orb. This was the authority of purification he had previously received from Poseidon.
The authority of purification also sensed the aura emanating from the Angel God's position. It trembled slightly, transformed into a streak of light, and merged into Qian Renxue's body.
Thus, the three core powers once possessed by the First Angel God—holiness, judgment, and purification—were finally reintegrated, restoring her to the position of Holy Evil Angel.
With the later addition of the fused demonic authority and Rakshasa authority, the Holy-Evil Angel had now become a complete angel capable of judging all gods.
Boom!!!
The moment Qian Renxue absorbed the two great powers, divine light erupted around her. The eight divine light wheels behind her head spun rapidly, and the eight black-and-white wings originally behind her suddenly began to tremble.
Then, to the gods' astonishment, the five pairs of black-and-white wings behind her slowly fused and eventually solidified completely.
Her aura surged violently, instantly rising from the early quasi-God King stage to the peak of quasi-God King.
The overwhelming pressure left even some veteran first-level gods breathless, forcing even the God Kings to turn their gazes toward her.
But it was not over yet!
Qian Renxue closed her eyes, focused her mind, and fully absorbed the surging power within her body.
Her aura did not stop at the peak of quasi-God King. It continued to rise, growing stronger and stronger, pressing against the unbreakable barrier.
In the tense wait, time passed quietly.
Finally—
Pop...
The sound, as if something had been gently pierced, resonated deep within every god's soul.
Qian Renxue's aura suddenly broke through the final restraint and stepped into an entirely new realm.
At the same time, behind her, a sixth black-and-white wing slowly unfurled like a scroll and eventually took complete form.
The Twelve-Winged Holy-Evil Angel God King!
The God King aura spread without hesitation, instantly covering the entire forbidden land of the gods and extending further into the distant God Realm.
Almost simultaneously, the God Realm Committee suddenly emitted a dazzling golden-black pillar of light. Within the pillar, it seemed as if angels with twelve wings were soaring, and hymns of holy-evil resounded throughout the God Realm.
Immediately after, in the main hall of the committee, sacred light gathered, laws intertwined, and the seventh God King throne—adorned with gold and black patterns—slowly emerged from the void!
All the gods who witnessed this scene involuntarily bowed their heads toward Qian Renxue and shouted in unison.
"We... pay our respects to the Angel King!"
The voices of the gods gathered like a tide and echoed above the forbidden land.
The gods were filled with complex emotions. How much time had passed? Two new God Kings had been born in the world of the gods—and they were husband and wife.
The Destruction God and the Goddess of Life exchanged glances, their eyes shining brilliantly. The Destruction God could not help but clap his hands and laugh.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Our God Realm has gained new pillars, and we can now face future development with even greater confidence!"
A relieved smile appeared on the Good God's face. Regardless of past favors... the birth of new God Kings was always wonderful for maintaining the stability of the gods' domain and dealing with unknown crises.
Only the Evil God remained quietly in place. He gazed at Qian Renxue, whose aura was as vast as the sea, and a complex look of regret surfaced in his eyes.
"If... if at that time I had not remained a bystander, if I had protected Angel God back then I... would I already have another God King?"
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life.
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes. Golden and black divine light flowed in her pupils, as if she could see through the roots of good and evil and judge all things in heaven and earth.
Her first glance naturally fell on Chen Yi beside her, but she could not show intimate gestures in front of others.
Her gaze changed instantly. The gentleness in her eyes turned as cold as ice in a single moment and shot straight at the silent Evil God nearby!
The surrounding gods' hearts leaped upon sensing this blatant gaze.
The air grew heavy at once.
The Evil God had ignored the fact that the First Angel God was killed by the Asura God and Poseidon. This was an irreconcilable grudge.
Chen Yi had already killed the Asura God and cast Poseidon into the cycle of eternal suffering, thus avenging the First Angel God.
However, if Qian Renxue pursued the Evil God's responsibility and sought to settle the score here, the situation would become far too serious!
After all, the Evil God was the leader of the Five Great God Kings and one of the oldest God Kings, holding a revered position and immeasurable power.
If Qian Renxue truly declared war on him, regardless of the outcome, the God Realm would inevitably fall into unprecedented internal strife—a situation no god desired.
Moreover, the Good God and the Evil God were both the oldest God Kings who had spent countless years together with deep bonds. She would not silently watch the Evil God being surrounded.
Even the Destruction God and Goddess of Life, who were closest to Chen Yi and Qian Renxue, might not support them in defeating the Evil God.
However... the Evil God's actions back then had gone too far. If he were not punished, how could the gods' anger be quelled? How could the gods trust the fairness of the God Realm Committee?
For a moment, all the gods held their breath, watching Qian Renxue and the Evil God, waiting to see how the situation would unfold.
The Evil God sensed Qian Renxue's gaze. He slowly raised his head and quietly met her eyes.
In the end, the Evil God offered no explanation. He slowly turned his back on the gods. His dignified, sacred voice echoed through the forbidden land and spread to every corner of the gods' domain.
"Now..."
"I am the leader of the God Kings and the embodiment of evil..."
"Convene a general assembly in the realm of the gods."
He intended to use the highest-level meeting in the God Realm to address this long-standing issue and provide an explanation to everyone.
