---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tang San was well-versed in the art of assassination and remained unfazed by Ye Wen's taunts.
The moment Ye Wen teleported them to this vast expanse of sea, Tang San immediately launched an attack, attempting to kill Ye Wen right away.
But Ye Wen was no pushover. In the blink of an eye, he swiftly retreated.
"Li Zhi Jian," his ultimate life-saving technique, was something Ye Wen had thoroughly studied after ascending to godhood.
{T/N: Kinda hard to translate this technique. Closest thing would be "In Between Distances/Space" or "The Space Between"}
In Ye Wen's eyes, divine power was essentially a game-breaking cheat. As long as one had enough divine energy and the will to do something, even the rules could be rewritten.
Tang San's earlier attack had used divine power to forcibly lock Ye Wen's position within the "Li Space," allowing him to strike.
Moreover, the Asura God's power granted Tang San unparalleled killing intent.
Though Ye Wen possessed a divine body, he found that the wound inflicted by Tang San would not heal.
No wonder the position of the Law Enforcement God was so fearsome—it truly lived up to its reputation for combat against gods.
At this moment, the gods of the god realm watched intently as the battle between the two gods unfolded.
Though they had long known that the five God Kings dominated the god realm due to their immense strength, they hadn't expected such terrifying results.
Even gods, who were immortal and indestructible, would find such permanent wounds troubling.
Seeing his successor succeed with a single move, the Asura God provocatively glanced at the nearby Sea God.
But the Sea God remained unfazed, still acting carefree as he munched on melon seeds with a grin.
However—
While such an attack might terrify ordinary gods, to Ye Wen now, it was nothing more than a joke.
With a simple raise of his left hand, a golden-soul-ringed orb—the Time Bead—appeared in Ye Wen's palm.
"Rewind—"
To the astonishment of the surrounding gods, the wound on Ye Wen's body, which had been bleeding profusely, instantly healed, and even his clothes returned to pristine condition.
Some of the lesser gods were uncertain about their assumptions, but the five God Kings all gasped in unison.
The Life God King spoke first.
"This second-generation Sea God is truly gifted—he has mastered the Time Law."
The Destruction God King nodded in agreement.
In this universe, the Time Law was considered the most supreme rule. Even the former god realm had never seen such an existence.
Even the ability to rewind one's own physical state was astonishing enough. With this foundation, there was no telling whether Ye Wen might eventually master the Time Law completely. He undoubtedly had the potential to ascend to the rank of a God King.
The Good and Evil God Kings remained silent, watching the ongoing battle with great interest.
The Asura God glanced at the grinning Sea God, his brow furrowing. So you've been hiding your true strength this deeply, you deceptively calm fellow. But how could such a martial soul capable of controlling time appear on Douluo Star?
This is terrifying. Tang San, this brat, is dangerous, the Asura God thought inwardly.
But in front of this public audience, the Asura God couldn't pull any tricks. He could only sit there, lost in contemplation.
Tang San didn't understand how Ye Wen had recovered, but it didn't change the fact that the man before him was no longer an ordinary Title Douluo—he was a god like himself.
Raising the Asura Demon Sword high, Tang San coldly asked,
"Hiding behind a mask isn't worthy of a god. State your divine name, Marshal Ye Wen."
Unfazed by Tang San's crude attempt to provoke him, Ye Wen calmly dismissed the Time Bead. Then, a brilliant blue light erupted from his body.
"I am the Sea God, Ye Wen. Come, Little Tang San. Let me see how strong you've become after inheriting the Asura God's position."
Looking at Ye Wen, now clad in resplendent full-body Sea God armor, Tang San's expression grew solemn.
In the next instant, Tang San donned his Asura God armor. A blend of crimson and darkness enveloped him, exuding both ferocity and dominance.
"You've truly grown stronger, Little Tang San."
Ye Wen taunted again, but his eyes were fixed intently on Tang San, analyzing the situation.
After all, though Tang San had inherited the Asura God's position in the original storyline, during the final battle, he had primarily relied on the abilities of the Sea God.
With the Asura God armor equipped, Tang San became even more confident and cold, looking at Ye Wen as if he were already dead.
At this moment, Ye Wen recalled a piece of intelligence: Tang San apparently hadn't gone to Tang Yuehua to cleanse the killing intent from his body but had instead disappeared with Tang Hao for five years.
No wonder something felt off. It turned out that Tang San was still under the influence of negative emotions and wasn't as calm as he had been in the original storyline.
Still, Ye Wen couldn't help but inwardly whistle.
The Asura God truly stopped at nothing to achieve his goals, neglecting to thoroughly assess his successor's mentality. Perhaps this was part of his plan.
But if that were the case, then Tang San's defeat as the Asura God would ultimately rest on the shoulders of the Asura God King himself.
Suddenly, Tang San's divine power erupted.
A terrifying aura of slaughter spread across the sea, causing weaker fish beneath the surface to roll over and float belly-up, dead.
But what use was such an explosion? Ye Wen was a god, not an ordinary Title Douluo. He wondered silently.
Then, Tang San revealed a sinister smile, as if Ye Wen had stepped into his trap.
Ye Wen immediately sensed something was amiss. In this situation, he should have fled instantly—his opponent clearly had immense confidence in dealing a devastating blow.
Just as Ye Wen prepared to teleport away, six blood-red giant swords appeared around him.
"Domain Expansion—Asura Path!!!"
Ye Wen stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him.
You damn bastard, Asura God! How dare you blatantly copy my idea to empower Tang San!!!
But soon, Ye Wen regained his composure. If he could do it, others could copy it. If someone could independently comprehend it without relying on his data, then they deserved credit for their achievement.
The reason Ye Wen had chosen to fight on the sea was because the ocean amplified his strength, making him even more powerful.
However, once Tang San activated his domain, that amplification vanished.
Tang San stood loftily at the center of the domain, gazing down at Ye Wen from above, resembling a ruler presiding over countless lives.
Since this closed-off domain was created using the Asura God's own concept, Ye Wen dared not make any reckless moves—who knew what special effects this domain might possess?
"Ye Wen, do you admit your guilt?" Tang San's icy voice questioned.
But Ye Wen responded with—Overclock·Red!
Tang San stood unperturbed, a massive sword materializing before him to block Ye Wen's attack.
In that instant, Ye Wen clearly felt his attack, which had been aimed directly at Tang San, being deflected off course.
Ye Wen narrowed his eyes. This domain was indeed no ordinary feat.
The gods of the god realm were also startled by the activation of this domain.
Being a closed-type domain, a massive sphere now enveloped Tang San and Ye Wen, cutting off the gods' line of sight.
All the gods understood that time and space laws were among the highest-level rules.
But for Tang San, who originally lacked spatial attributes, to construct a closed-type domain imbued with spatial properties was highly problematic.
