Chapter 172 The God of Destruction is shocked:
The Law of Annihilation? That's a realm even a God-King can't touch!
"Heh, how foolish."
The God of Destruction lightly swirled the wine cup in his hand, his purple eyes flashing with a cold light, and he muttered to himself:
"Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, back then I saw your extraordinary talent and even went so far as to lower down the noble divine test. I wanted to pass on the position of God of Destruction to you."
"That's an unparalleled honor that countless people would kill for, but what about you?"
The God of Destruction sneered, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes:
"You actually rejected me without even thinking! And you even had the audacity to say that you wanted to forge your own path and create your own godhood?"
"How utterly laughable! You dare to defy the heavens with a mortal body and become a God-King?"
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, and weigh your own worth!"
The God of Destruction downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, a sinister pleasure flashing in his eyes.
Indeed, the reason Poseidon dared to attack Wei Yuan, whose strength far surpassed his own, was because of his instigation!
He secretly contacted Poseidon, promising him great rewards and implying that as long as Wei Yuan was eliminated, the divine realm would turn a blind eye to his continued collection of faith in the lower realm using the Trident of Poseidon.
This was because Wei Yuan's displayed talent was simply terrifying.
As the first-generation owner of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, Wei Yuan possessed the ultimate destructive attribute from the very beginning of awakening his Martial Soul.
After collecting faith, he became a near-god.
In terms of the Law of Destruction, he even showed a tendency to surpass him, the God of Destruction.
The God of Destruction was certain that once Wei Yuan was fully prepared and created his own godhood, he would definitely become a God-King like himself!
At that time, when Wei Yuan ascended to the divine realm, Wei Yuan would surely overwhelm him in the Law of Destruction.
The Law of Destruction can only be controlled by one!
How can he tolerate another snoring beside his bed?
He would never allow a destructive god-king to be born who was out of his control and even threatened his position and power!
"Disobedient pawns only meet destruction."
The God of Destruction looked at the dying Wei Yuan in the sky and smiled coldly:
"This is the price for refusing me."
(The preceding text had laid several foreshadowings, from the God of Destruction saying Wei Yuan refused the inheritance of the God of Destruction's position, to later saying that the God of Destruction could only achieve control of the Law of Destruction after the fall of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, etc. This doesn't seem abrupt.)
But seeing the sky change again, the God of Destruction suddenly realized the 'key to the problem'.
This Wei Yuan had already become a destructive god, a god-king!
Moreover, he possessed the peak Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon!
This was even stronger than himself!
Now, he even had this so-called second martial soul, the Burial Sky Coffin, designated as the number one of the ten peak martial souls by the sky.
The reward couldn't be too bad, could it?
Even with the Goddess of Life's help...
How could two God-Kings compare to Wei Yuan, and his descendants who were about to become gods or would become gods in the future?
Thinking of this, the God of Destruction's face turned ashen.
Above the sky, images shifted, and after the suffocating tragedy lay a deathly darkness.
That was the inner space of the Burial Coffin.
In this void, where even time seemed to be swallowed up, Wei Yuan's battered and nearly lifeless body floated silently.
Behind Wei Yuan, the terrifying blood hole pierced by the Trident of the Sea God was now emitting a faint black light.
It wasn't the decay of death, but a deeper, more primal power—annihilation!
"Buzz—"
With a low hum, the ancient and intricate patterns on the inner wall of the Burial Coffin began to slowly light up.
Streams of extremely pure energy, like gentle streams, seeped from the coffin walls, softly enveloping Wei Yuan's body.
This was the essence of heaven and earth absorbed by the Burial Coffin over countless years, now being unreservedly given back to its master.
Nourished by this power, the faint life force within Wei Yuan, previously as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, miraculously stabilized and began to grow at an astonishing speed.
In the scene, Wei Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were no longer the clear black and white of before, but had become a deep, boundless gray, as if containing the chaos and end of the universe at its beginning.
"Is this... the true power of the Burial Coffin?"
Wei Yuan looked down at his hands, feeling the transformative power within him, and murmured to himself.
Wei Yuan could clearly feel the destructive power that had raged within him due to damage to his origin, undergoing a profound sublimation under the guidance of the Burial Coffin.
At the end of destruction lies annihilation.
Destruction is merely destruction, while annihilation is returning to nothingness, the end of all things, and also the beginning of everything.
"Since Heaven hasn't forsaken me, since this Burial Coffin has given me a second chance..."
A resolute and enlightened glint flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes. He didn't choose to immediately break out of the coffin to seek revenge on Poseidon.
Instead, he sat down cross-legged again, his hands forming a strange and profound hand seal.
"Then I will use the power of this Burial Coffin to condense the Annihilation God Core and completely control this Annihilation Law that transcends destruction!"
As Wei Yuan's words fell, the entire interior space of the Burial Coffin instantly boiled over.
Countless gray streams of energy surged wildly towards Wei Yuan's dantian, and a dark, deep crystal nascent form, radiating a chilling aura, began to slowly condense.
Inside the Temple of Destruction.
"Clang!"
The wine cup in the God of Destruction's hand slipped and shattered heavily on the ground.
But he was completely oblivious, as if struck by lightning, stiffly rising from his throne, staring intently at the scene in the sky.
His once disdainful and arrogant purple eyes were now filled with unprecedented terror and horror.
"The...the Annihilation God Core?!"
The God of Destruction's voice trembled, as if he had witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world:
"He...he's actually condensing the Annihilation God Core?!
How is this possible?!"
As the God of Destruction, he knew better than anyone what the word "Annihilation" meant.
It was the superior law of destruction, the ultimate form of destruction!
If the power of destruction was a sharp blade capable of severing all things, then the power of Annihilation was a black hole capable of erasing all existence, even devouring the law itself!
"The Annihilation Law...that's a forbidden domain that even a God-King can hardly touch!"
The God of Destruction's face was ashen, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He had originally thought that even if Wei Yuan hadn't died, he would at most recover his strength or become a God-King of Destruction.
In that case, with his combined strength with the Goddess of Life, plus the power of the divine realm's central authority, they might still have a fighting chance.
But now…
"If he really condenses the Annihilation God Core and masters the complete Law of Annihilation…"
