The Divine Realm — the Forbidden Zone of the Gods.
Unlike the rest of the Divine Realm, this area was shrouded in perpetual darkness. The gate to the Forbidden Zone pulsed with terrifying waves of destructive intent, hindering any deity from opening it.
In the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction was responsible for overseeing all restricted zones.
"The Divine Realm isn't that vast, and the god positions here are already at capacity. Such a large area is being used solely to suppress the Golden Dragon King. Once he's dealt with, restoring this region might make room for more gods. That alone would count as a worthy contribution from me."
A crimson light flickered in Qian Renhan's left hand as the divine weapon — the Asura Sword — descended into his grasp.
"Which god dares linger before the Forbidden Zone? Leave at once!"
At the gate, streaks of destructive lightning condensed into the form of the God of Destruction. His burning red eyes locked onto Qian Renhan with fierce intensity.
Though this was merely a spiritual projection of the God of Destruction, its strength still rivaled that of a first-level deity. Any harm to it would instantly alert the real deity, prompting his immediate arrival.
The God of Destruction had always fulfilled his duties to the Divine Realm with diligence — unfortunately, he was burdened by four incompetent subordinates.
In the Fortress of Destruction—
"Xiao Lu! Come with me to the Forbidden Zone, quickly!" The God of Destruction rushed to find the Goddess of Life.
Surprised, she asked, "Xiao Zi, has something happened to the Golden Dragon King's seal? I haven't foreseen any calamities threatening the Divine Realm lately."
Just as the God of Destruction was about to reply, he slapped his thigh and cursed angrily, "Damn it! Qian Renhan has destroyed the divine thought I left guarding the Forbidden Zone!"
At the gate of the Forbidden Zone, with the divine will of destruction gone, a massive crack — hundreds of meters long — had been cleaved into the gate by Qian Renhan. Within the chasm lay a black abyss, so dark it swallowed all light. It was deathly silent, without even a whisper of draconic breath — the rumored prison of the Golden Dragon King.
Qian Renhan said coldly, "Golden Dragon King, stop pretending to be dead. Come out."
A moment passed in silence. Seeing no response, Qian Renhan smirked. "Still feigning unconsciousness? Do you think I can't tell you've been absorbing divine power to restore yourself? Do you want me to come in and drag you out?"
As his words fell, a monstrous wave of killing intent burst from the crack, chilling the entire region.
Then a wild, arrogant voice roared out, accompanied by a thunderous dragon's cry. "Lowly human god, you're bold indeed! You dare break my seal and release me!"
BOOM!
A violent tremor split the ground. The Forbidden Zone began collapsing. The central tower fell with a deafening crash, and from its ruins, a colossal fissure split open across the land. Blinding golden light surged out from within, dazzling like solid gold despite being only light.
A chorus of deep growls followed — low at first, but rapidly intensifying into shrill, frenzied dragon roars filled with excitement, rage, resentment, and an overwhelming desire for destruction. The terrifying cries echoed throughout the realm as the golden light blazed skyward.
Bang! Bang!
Two immense golden dragon claws latched onto the edge of the crack, shaking the cliffs. In the next instant, a massive figure surged out. It was like a golden cloud stretching across the heavens.
This golden cloud stretched for over a thousand meters. Within it, two blood-red eyes — each the size of a volcanic crater — glared down at Qian Renhan, filled with murderous fury and hatred, as if eager to devour him alive.
"You're the new Asura God… and you carry the aura of the Evil God?"
"Darkgold Terror Claw!"
Qian Renhan didn't waste words. Darkgolden light surged from his right palm as his external soul bone launched out. A massive darkgold bear claw tore through the air toward the Golden Dragon King.
"A super divine weapon!"
"That's an external soul bone!"
The Golden Dragon King was visibly startled. His enormous claw, covered in radiant golden scales and as massive as a mountain, collided with the bear claw. The darkgolden claw shattered, and the soul bone dissolved into a burst of light that returned to Qian Renhan's right palm. The dragon let out a painful growl, a deep, bone-revealing gash now etched into his right claw.
But the wound began healing rapidly. After years of absorbing divine energy while in hiding, the Golden Dragon King had accumulated an immense reservoir of life force. Under the influence of this energy, the injury visibly closed.
Although it was only one exchange, the fact that he was wounded — and by an external soul bone infused with Behemoth bloodline — enraged the Golden Dragon King. Roaring furiously, he spread his golden wings, blotting out the sky. His speed surged, and he transformed into a blood-red meteor. The longest golden spike on his head blazed with light. From his tail to his horns, every spike began to shine as waves of golden light surged upward — all converging in a destructive charge aimed at Qian Renhan.
"Asura Blood Sword."
Behind Qian Renhan, a blood-colored phantom with three heads and six arms manifested. Powered by Asura's divine energy, the massive Asura Sword in its hand extended dozens of meters as it slashed at the Golden Dragon King's horns.
CLANG!
A crisp crack echoed as one of the Golden Dragon King's horns was sliced clean off.
The Golden Dragon King froze for a moment. As he stared at Qian Renhan, who stood within the chest of the blood-colored giant, a deep sense of dread flickered in his eyes. This Asura God was far stronger than the one he remembered!
But even so, the Golden Dragon King refused to back down. He sneered coldly, "Despicable human god! Do you really think you can kill me? I can feel it—your body carries the inheritance of both the Asura and Evil Gods. Destruction and Life are rushing here at full speed, and there are only three Supreme Gods in the Divine Realm right now. You won't be able to stop me!"
"When I descend to the lower realm and find my other half, I will reclaim the position of Dragon God. Then, I'll turn those realms into breeding grounds for the divine beast race. Every human on those planes will be enslaved, used as livestock. And when the time comes—we'll strike back and conquer the Divine Realm!"
With those words, the Golden Dragon King spread his wings once more. Without another glance, he turned to leave the Divine Realm.
"Golden Dragon King, take a look at this."
Hearing that, the Golden Dragon King shot a scornful glance over his shoulder at Qian Renhan—who now had ten soul rings glowing around him. But when his eyes reached the seventh ring—radiating with multicolored light—his blood-red pupils filled with bursting veins of rage. A wave of killing intent surged so powerfully it became tangible, almost consuming him.
"My sister—!"
"You damn human god! You killed my sister! I'll tear you apart!"
The Golden Dragon King's expression twisted in fury and madness. He no longer cared about fleeing the Divine Realm—instead, he lunged at Qian Renhan in a violent, frenzied assault, determined to avenge the Silver Dragon King.
BOOM—
The battle exploded with deafening force. The entire Divine Realm seemed to tremble, and the sky darkened ominously.
Qian Renhan slashed a sword across the Golden Dragon King's mouth, knocking out one of his fangs. Internally, he muttered to himself, "Either a siscon, a whipped mate, or just a love-struck fool... Completely ignoring survival and the future of his entire species. I seriously wonder what kind of brains these creatures have."
