"Rongrong, that Asura God's power seems to have grown stronger."
The speaker was Sword Douluo. From the scene that had just come through in the projection, it was clear that the originally illusory Asura God now had a more solid body, and his aura appeared even more terrifying.
"Mm, Grandfather Sword is right." Ning Rongrong nodded. "The Asura God devoured Tang San's soul, including the god position rules and godhood. By borrowing the Blood River Great Array, he elevated this body to the peak of a first-level god."
"Hiss—" Sword Douluo drew in a sharp breath. Even Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo beside him, and even Qian Renxue and the others nearby turned their gazes toward Ning Rongrong.
"That shouldn't be possible, right?" Di Tian voiced his doubt. He himself had once been a first-level god powerhouse—even the leader of the Black Dragon clan, comparable to a God King.
It was evident that the Asura God who descended was not his true body. Yet a clone devouring a god position to achieve the peak of a first-level god—that possibility simply did not exist!
"No, other God Kings might not be able to do it, but the Asura God is different." Ning Rongrong sighed, thinking of the situation in the Killing City and immediately understanding.
The Road to Hell was opened through blood qi. Tang San's body and soul—whether the Tang San who passed through the Killing City or the current God King Tang—matched too perfectly with the Asura God.
"The future Tang San possessed both the Asura God god position and the Sea God god position. Perhaps due to some mutation caused by traveling back in time, it did not conflict with the Sea God god position he inherited in the present.
"In short, the Asura God devoured the incomplete Asura God god position remnant in Tang San's soul. By using the sacrifices of the Blood River Great Array, he reached the peak of a first-level god."
The blood qi and souls of an entire continent—that was enough to accomplish many things.
"It actually gave me quite a good inspiration." Ning Rongrong murmured, her gaze fixed on the three-dimensional projection.
"Rongrong, you're not thinking of doing the same, are you?"
Qian Renxue drew in a cold breath and instinctively took two steps back.
During the Soul Master Tournament, Ning Rongrong had devoured all the heavy criminals and death row prisoners from Heaven Dou Empire's largest prison.
What difference was there between that and Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing?
Oh, right—there was still some difference.
It seemed Ning Rongrong had said she devoured their time, but the fact that the people were gone was undeniable.
"Relax, I'm not that deranged." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "I'm not exactly a paragon of justice, but I still have some bottom lines."
Mm, though those bottom lines were somewhat flexible.
Of course, Ning Rongrong did not voice that part.
She did not share the inspiration she had gained from the Asura God devouring all living beings on the Sun Moon Continent—she only had a preliminary idea.
While everyone was talking, the three-dimensional projection continued playing.
A man holding the Asura God Sword, his entire body wrapped in dark red demonic patterns, blood-colored light swirling around him, and clad in armor covered with dark red demonic patterns, appeared in the Dragon Valley.
His blood-red eyes fixed on one spot. He transformed into a deep crimson streak of light and flew toward the central area of the Dragon Valley.
After the Asura God left, a slender figure appeared not far from where he had stood.
"Two peak first-level gods." The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong murmured. "Gu Yuena's condition doesn't seem quite right."
Having fused with all the clones, the twin-tailed Ning Rongrong naturally possessed very strong concealment abilities.
Even for Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King who had absorbed the Dragon God's dragon soul, discovering her would not be so easy.
"Go back? Or..." She gritted her teeth. "Forget it—let's go take a look. It seems there's no news from Di Tian and the others. Have they already left?"
No matter what, Gu Yuena's existence was of great help to the main body's plans.
Moreover, they suspected that Gu Yuena absorbing the dragon soul was what caused the isolation barrier between the Divine Realm and the mortal world. If that was the case, they absolutely could not let Gu Yuena die casually.
With that thought, the twin-tailed Ning Rongrong followed after them.
Dragon Valley core area.
Gu Yuena was dressed in white.
Yet the aura surrounding her was thick with killing intent and heavy rule energy. Even the Silver Dragon Spear in her right hand was tinged with a silver aura that appeared rather eerie.
Her entire person looked like a sharp blade on the verge of being unsheathed.
A red gleam landed not far from Gu Yuena.
Without many words, as soon as the Asura God descended, Gu Yuena met him with her Silver Dragon Spear.
"Bang"
The collision of sword and spear produced a crisp sound.
Both retreated seven or eight steps at the same time.
"Fighting me the moment we meet—Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, it seems you have not successfully absorbed the Dragon God's power."
The Asura God steadied himself. His cold gaze fixed on Gu Yuena opposite him. With a God King's experience, he quickly noticed that Gu Yuena's state was off.
"You... have no need to know!"
As her words fell, Gu Yuena instantly appeared behind the Asura God. Her spear struck like a dragon. The Silver Dragon Spear transformed into a silver-white dragon, its endless killing intent roaring as it locked onto the Asura God.
The Silver Dragon Spear thrust fiercely toward the Asura God's back, aiming at his chest.
"Die!"
However, at that moment.
Blood-red flames enveloped the Asura God's entire body. The Asura God Sword in his hand surged with blood-colored flames.
"You are not the Dragon God, nor the Golden Dragon King. Even if you absorbed the Dragon God's resentment and dragon soul, you are no match for me."
"Asura Domain."
"Asura Blood Sword—Slash!"
After unleashing his domain, the Asura God countered Gu Yuena's sneak attack.
"Clang—"
Silver-white and blood-red flames collided. The intense clash of energies caused the surrounding space to distort slightly under the unbearable force.
The center of their battle actually formed a vacuum zone.
In an instant, both vanished again.
The Silver Dragon King turned into silver-white light, while the Asura God transformed into blood-red light. They clashed fiercely in the high sky. The weapons collided with metallic "clang clang clang" sounds.
Each collision erupted with terrifying energy that poured downward.
Within the Dragon Valley, countless slumbering dragon corpses were crushed by the spreading shockwaves.
True peak first-level gods—existences above level 130.
Taking Hypnos and Lie Yan from Yin Yang Crown as second-level gods for comparison—
In the battle between Hypnos and Lie Yan, Hypnos's attack on the planetary core was enough to destroy the core and cause the planet to explode.
And before her fall, to buy time for the protagonist Ji Dong, Lie Yan ignited the core source with her natal Red Lotus Heavenly Flame.
She ignited the Sacred Flame Curtain that encircled the entire planet—anything below god level would die on contact. Without any magic replenishment, she maintained its power undiminished for a full five years.
Lie Yan and Hypnos were only at the second-level god tier, close to first-level gods.
A true first-level god battle would only be more terrifying.
The ping-pong-pang sounds of combat stirred up gusts of flying sand and stones across the ground.
The entire surface of the Dragon Valley trembled.
"This Dragon Valley... has it been reinforced by Gu Yuena's power?" The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong murmured. "And it feels like Gu Yuena deliberately lured the Asura God here."
"Wuwuwu, no, I can't think anymore—my brain will grow if I do."
She rubbed her pink hair and simply stopped thinking.
Leave the thinking to the main body. If everything relied on the clones, the main body would become useless.
Otherwise, she might end up as—
"A useless young lady who only shouts 'hungry hungry hungry' when hungry, and shivers cutely after eating."
