As Tang San collapsed, his domain dissipated along with him, leaving only Ye Wen's empty domain behind.
However, Ye Wen didn't release his own domain expansion either. At this point, failing to completely eliminate the opponent would be sheer idiocy.
Ye Wen raised his hand slightly.
Overclock·Red——!!!
Under this technique, even Tang San, now a god, could only disintegrate into ashes.
Far away in the god realm, the Asura God watched this scene with a darkened expression. He moved as if he wanted to intervene but was met with a warning glance from the Destruction God King.
But seeing years of effort destroyed in an instant left the Asura God filled with deep regret.
"Asura, remember your position. Though your divine core is no longer with you, as the Law Enforcement God, don't break the rules knowingly."
The Destruction God King sternly warned the Asura God, his divine power surging as he remained vigilant against any potential actions from the Asura God.
The other three God Kings also turned their attention toward the situation. If the Asura God were to cause trouble, it wouldn't be tolerated—the current god realm couldn't withstand the destruction caused by a God King-level being.
There were three Law Enforcement Gods in the god realm: Life, Destruction, and Asura.
One-on-one, the Asura God feared no one. But under the scrutiny of four God Kings, even he could only let out a cold snort.
Yet, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wasn't known for his patience in the first place. Standing up abruptly, he left the god realm.
The gods didn't stop him. After all, the true connection to the god realm was the divine core. Since the Asura God had already passed on his divine position, his ties to the god realm had vanished.
As for Tang San's fate, the gods didn't care.
If Tang San died, as long as the divine core remained, they could always find another successor.
The Destruction God King turned to Poseidon beside him and said, "Sea God, the divine core of the Asura God will soon become your successor's trophy. When that happens, please have him find a suitable person to inherit the Asura God position."
Poseidon calmly nodded. Such occurrences weren't rare in the god realm.
Even divine cores of God Kings were subject to this.
It was just that the Sea God had arrived late and hadn't participated in the previous great war of the god realm; otherwise, his collection would have included several divine cores.
Otherwise, where did Ma Hongjun's Phoenix God position come from? Did anyone really believe there was still a Phoenix God in the god realm?
And yet, that Phoenix God position was merely a second-tier divine rank.
Could a phoenix truly be so weak? In Douluo II, every phoenix martial soul rivaled that of a true dragon—at the very least, it should have been a first-tier divine rank.
Clearly, this divine core had been demoted, its quality degraded, before somehow being passed on to Ma Hongjun through unknown connections.
While the gods were discussing their next steps—
Tang San's physical body turned to ash.
But what shocked Ye Wen was that Tang San's soul appeared before him in a tangible form.
Oh no——!!!
Alarms blared in Ye Wen's mind, but Tang San was already in front of him.
"Ye—Wen!!! Die!!!"
A voice filled with malevolence, like a vengeful spirit from hell, echoed in his ear. Tang San's eyes were blood-red.
Ye Wen felt as though he were staring into the depths of the Asura Hell.
Asura Divine Annihilation Kill—Kill—Kill!!!
Using all of Tang San's soul force as its core, a terrifying divine consciousness attack surged toward Ye Wen.
This scene caused the gods watching from the god realm to gasp in shock.
Many second- and third-tier minor gods turned pale. Even they wouldn't have time to use divine power to recover if they were struck by such an attack—it would result in immediate death.
The Destruction God King frowned deeply and slammed his fist against his seat.
"Damn Asura God! How could a newly ascended god like this brat use such a powerful divine technique? It must have been a hidden move he left behind. No wonder he left so cleanly earlier."
But as the current leader of the god realm, being outmaneuvered by a junior like this left the Destruction God King feeling humiliated.
Still, he sincerely apologized to Poseidon.
"I'm sorry, Sea God. I never expected the Asura God to be so shameless.
I'll have to trouble you to cultivate another successor."
At this moment, Poseidon's expression was grim, but he wasn't despairing. Instead, he stared intently at the screen.
"Destruction Lord, watch closely. My successor isn't some ordinary figure. I believe he can withstand this."
Upon hearing this, the God Kings also turned their attention back to the ongoing battle on the screen.
Facing Tang San's desperate final counterattack—
Ye Wen felt as though his divine soul were being shredded into pieces, causing excruciating pain that momentarily paralyzed his thoughts.
However, his soul, stronger than Tang San's by at least one magnitude, allowed him to quickly react. Forming hand seals, he shouted—
"Divine Technique—Blank Moment!!!"
A blinding flash of white light erupted from Ye Wen's hands, causing Tang San, who had been relentlessly pouring out his divine soul energy, to freeze in place and halt his attack.
"Die!"
Ye Wen roared angrily, a ring of light appearing in his hand—a rarely used spatial vibration.
Against overwhelming power, Tang San's already fragile soul shattered into pieces, resulting in his complete annihilation.
At this moment, Ye Wen, too, was exhausted. He knelt painfully on one knee, panting heavily, his heart filled with relief.
The "Blank Moment" soul skill was obtained after sacrificing Elder Cang's soul ring. It specifically targeted souls, forcing opponents into a state of mental blankness and interrupting their abilities.
{T/N: Elder Cang is the 600,000 Celestial Abyss Narwhal that sacrificed to MC for his Eighth Soul Ring}
But Ye Wen had never had the opportunity to use it until now.
After all, his soul power was overwhelmingly strong, making its use against ordinary soul masters akin to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
That didn't mean Ye Wen neglected training in this area. Knowing how perilous soul battles could be, he had continuously refined and strengthened the effects of this soul skill.
Faced with Tang San's absurdly powerful divine consciousness attack earlier, without this technique, Ye Wen would have either died or been reduced to a vegetable.
Struggling to his feet, Ye Wen looked at the two trophies before him.
The ominous aura-emitting divine core of the Asura God and the terrifyingly powerful Asura Demon Sword.
Ye Wen's head still throbbed painfully from Tang San's earlier attack, slowing his thoughts. Nevertheless, he first secured these two spoils.
Glancing around his domain, Ye Wen was relieved that his instincts had kept it intact. Had it been dispelled, it could have left significant risks behind.
After all, even fragments of a soul like Tang San's—if allowed to reincarnate and grow in secret—would remain terrifying. If the Asura God were to pull off a comeback, even if this reincarnation were flawed, Tang San's essence remained unchanged.
Ye Wen wasn't afraid of him, but his friends and family would suffer greatly.
