Though the God Kings were symbols of invincibility within this god realm, Ye Wen was a staunch materialist successor. Even gods had to abide by the law of conservation of mass!
As Ye Wen stretched the distance between them, the two overwhelmingly powerful attacks—capable of reducing Ye Wen to nothing—finally lost most of their potency. Meanwhile, Ye Wen completed the reinforcement of his domain.
"Right back at you!"
With a flick of his hands, the two attacks that had been aimed at Ye Wen abruptly reversed direction and surged back toward their owners.
The four God Kings' expressions immediately changed. They had been trying to decipher the intricacies of Ye Wen's domain in hopes of breaking it. They never expected Ye Wen to turn their own attacks against them, catching them completely off guard.
The Goodness and Evil God Kings exchanged glances.
Their abilities were relatively specialized and not suited for resolving the current predicament. Voluntarily stepping forward, they blocked Ye Wen's returning attacks.
Escape?
After witnessing Ye Wen's mastery over the spatial mechanics of this world, they knew his attacks would inevitably hit unless they could break the domain. There was nowhere to run.
"Holy Guardian Shield!"
Though this technique wasn't as powerful as the Three Realms Judgment Sword, it was sufficient to withstand the now greatly weakened attacks.
The sensation of being attacked was different from attacking.
Though the Goodness and Evil God Kings knew their technique was formidable and the Destruction God King's attack was no weaker, even the diminished power of these strikes still forced them to exert tremendous effort to defend.
Yet, neither the Goodness nor Evil God Kings uttered a word to interrupt the Destruction and Life God Kings.
At this moment, the Destruction and Life God Kings' divine energies intertwined, generating their creative power. They were attempting to mimic Ye Wen's spatial energy in order to unravel this domain world.
Who was Ye Wen? Naturally, he saw through their plan in an instant, a sly smile playing on his lips.
In a flash, three figures appeared at the other three positions surrounding the Destruction and Life God Kings, aiming for an element of surprise.
Almost in an instant, the Destruction and Life God Kings sensed who the newcomers were.
"Asura Slash!!!"
"Chaotic Desire's Wound!!!"
"Angel's Judgment!!!"
These ferocious attacks instantly disrupted the Destruction and Life God Kings' generation of spatial energy, forcing them into a defensive stance.
"Damn you, Han Hai!!! Is this the confidence you have to wage war against the god realm?!?!"
The Destruction God King, battered and smoking, unleashed a torrent of curses.
When Bi Bi Dong and the others attacked, the Destruction God King realized that these three sudden arrivals were also God King-level beings.
Though only at the early stages of God King strength, one-on-one they were no match for his side.
But within Ye Wen's domain, the vast disparity in power between them was invisibly nullified.
Ye Wen, however, remained calm and collected, a confident smile lingering on his lips.
"Stay put, Big Brother Destruction. The era of your god realm has ended."
"Bastard! If you've got the guts, release the domain and fight me one-on-one! Hiding far away using spatial rules, how dare you claim the end of the god realm's era? Who do you think you are?!"
The Destruction God King cursed furiously while fending off Bibi Dong's attacks.
Ye Wen paid no heed to such insufficiently vulgar insults, yawning lazily and even mockingly replying,
"I wonder who it was that five God Kings once ganged up on half of the Dragon God's body but still failed to kill him. And yet here you are, acting like you're so mighty."
This struck a raw nerve with the Destruction God King, prompting another wave of curses.
But ultimately, he wasn't someone who ascended from the human world—he didn't even know how to properly swear.
While cursing, the Destruction God King also came to understand their current predicament.
Due to the gap in power levels, Ye Wen dared not engage them directly and instead chose to wear them down here.
Moreover, Ye Wen's bold declaration about ending the god realm's era likely meant he wouldn't stop at just stalling the four God Kings. He might even target the remaining gods in the god realm.
At this moment, the Destruction God King recalled Ye Wen's nearly thousand-year-long cultivation of divine officials on Douluo Star.
Though divine officials were weak enough to be killed with a single strike, if combined with the first- and second-tier divine armors Ye Wen had developed, their true strength far exceeded their surface appearance.
The more he thought about it, the more cold sweat dripped from the Destruction God King's forehead. This seemingly gentle and refined young man had already begun laying the groundwork for this situation a thousand years ago—it was truly terrifying.
For a Destruction God King who had lived countless eons but remained somewhat naive, this was nothing short of a dimensional strike.
What frustrated the Destruction God King the most was that Ye Wen had mastered the supreme spatial laws. Though his side could theoretically overpower Ye Wen, they were now rendered helpless by this spatial manipulation.
However, the Destruction God King was a proud individual and would not accept defeat so easily. His mind raced frantically, searching for a way to break the current deadlock.
Though destructive power was potent, the Destruction God King knew it was useless against these spatial laws, which seemed tangible but were actually illusory.
"Perhaps the Golden Dragon King's annihilation rule could work," the Destruction God King mused inwardly.
Over the years, he had studied the annihilation rule displayed by the Golden Dragon King, which bore similarities to his own destructive power.
But though they seemed similar, they were worlds apart. The annihilation rule was a far superior force, capable of returning all things to nothingness, far surpassing his purely destructive powers.
Yet, just as the Destruction God King was desperately brainstorming solutions, the attacks from the opposing side suddenly ceased.
"What's going on?"
Though the Destruction God King didn't fully grasp the saying "when something is unusual, there must be something amiss," he knew the current situation was abnormal. He vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
"Han Hai, what are you scheming now, you bastard?" the Destruction God King growled coldly.
At this moment, Ye Wen began forming hand seals, blood streaming from his seven orifices as torrents of divine energy poured out of him uncontrollably.
Though Ye Wen was intrigued by the divine cores of the four God Kings before him, he knew they were beyond his current ability to defeat.
As for making them submit to him? That was even more impossible.
Thus, there was only one path left for him to take.
"After all these years of your care, allow me to bid you farewell. We will not meet again.
God King Skill·Ultra·Exile Gate!!!"
In an instant, the four God Kings understood Ye Wen's intentions and their faces paled dramatically.
But it was too late.
A massive array unfolded above their heads, revealing a starry expanse.
"You—!!!"
The Destruction God King's eyes bulged with rage as he tried to say something to Ye Wen.
But with a twist of their forms, the four great God Kings vanished entirely from Ye Wen's domain.
