The great battle broke out instantly; everyone made their move.
On Tang San's side, putting aside Tang San himself on the battlefield, the God Kings operating openly included Emotion God King Dai Yuhao, Destruction God King Tang Wulin, Life God King Gu Yuena, and Asura God Xiao Wu—a total of four. Plus Lie Yan and Ji Dong, whose god positions had been stripped, the lineup was undoubtedly luxurious.
First-Class Deities were even more numerous. With Rong Nianbing, Zhou Weiqing, and the Seven Elemental Gods leading the numerous deities, plus the five members of the original Shrek Seven Devils, and the gods of the Divine Realm who had defected and surrendered, it was completely a crushing advantage.
In terms of overall strength, Huo Yuhao's side could be said to have fallen into an absolute disadvantage.
In this war of gods, various powerful skills emerged one after another. They collided and intertwined with each other, producing world-destroying power.
The figures of the gods crisscrossed. Shouts of killing, angry roars, and the sounds of weapons clashing intertwined, forming a symphony of death. Every deity spared no cost, only to be able to achieve victory in this war.
As the battle of the gods became increasingly intense, the sky of the entire Douluo Continent trembled. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled in the sky, the earth was cracking, and countless god-level skills crisscrossed. The entire world seemed about to head towards destruction in this battle.
"Mom!" The blond Huo Yunhan watched Cui Yajie and Ju Zi fall into a heavy siege, and a look of panic couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Gu Han! Don't hold back anymore!" Huo Yuhao shouted at Huo Yunhan. His divine sense clone had just been hit by a Spiritual Shock from Dai Yuhao, and its body had become significantly ethereal.
Fortunately, this divine sense clone of Huo Yuhao had accumulated massive divine thought over these years, which was why it forcefully held on without dissipating directly.
Huo Yuhao's other partners were also engaged in bitter fights at this time. Fortunately, the deities on Tang San's side did not deal killing blows, which allowed them to barely hold on under the siege of the gods.
Tang San watched all this coldly, seemingly having no intention of continuing to strike: "Take them all down for me, do not kill them."
"Yes, Dad!" Dai Yuhao nodded in response, then looked towards the inconsequential characters among Huo Yuhao's forces.
Some people, if they died, they died. It didn't seem it would cause any impact on the direction and changes of history.
Dai Yuhao did not hesitate. He immediately used his Super Divine Tool—the Eye of Eternity—and directly shot an Eternal Gaze at Zhongli Yu, the strongest among the crowd.
"Ah—" Zhongli Yu only felt her soul shattered. The Asura Sword slipped from her hand, and her delicate body flew backward.
"Yu'er—" Seeing the strongest Zhongli Yu being knocked away, Zhang Lexuan's thoughts were thrown into chaos. Lie Yan immediately seized the opportunity, forcing her to the rear with a strike of Red Lotus Heavenly Fire.
"You thieves, stripped our god positions! If not on account of Tang San's face, I would have killed you long ago!"
Ji Dong, Rong Nianbing, and Zhou Weiqing roared angrily and struck one after another. As former deities, even if their god positions were stripped by the God of Destruction, it would not overly affect their combat power.
This time, they wanted to take back the god positions and divine artifacts that originally belonged to them!
In the melee, the Hell White Tiger formed by the fusion of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, under Ning Rongrong's amplification, rapidly broke through the defense line. With one claw, they swatted away the newly advanced Sea God Long Aotian, who was struggling to resist, and then headed straight for Ning Tian and Ju Zi in the rear.
In a soul master duel, they knew well the importance of defeating the opponent's auxiliary characters. Once the amplification from these two was gone, the others would soon have no power to resist.
"Don't even think you will succeed!" God of Evil Cui Yajie struck angrily, forcing Ji Dong back with one blow, but was then suppressed by the joint efforts of the two God Kings, Tang Wulin and his wife.
After smashing Ning Tian's Invincible Divine Light, the Hell White Tiger split in two, reforming the figures of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
Dai Mubai grabbed Ju Zi and Ning Tian by their necks, one in each hand, lifting them high.
"Yuhao, I have to say, your former affair target really has a certain charm." Dai Mubai looked up and down at Ju Zi's tender skin, turning around and grinning wickedly at Emotion God King Dai Yuhao.
"Boss Dai is going to do bad things!" Food God Oscar beside him jeered excitedly, but quickly received death stares from Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
"You... you will die a horrible death..." Ju Zi's face flushed red, grabbed by the neck and lifted high by Dai Mubai, struggling weakly.
"Mom!" Seeing this scene, Huo Yunhan roared, his eyes splitting open with rage, and struggled desperately.
However, the cautious Tang San casually threw a few more Indeterminate Storm halos onto him—
Zhongli Yu was stepped on by Asura God Xiao Wu, her hands pinned to the ground by two Asura Swords. At this moment, her hair was disheveled, her face mournful and resembling an evil ghost.
"I will kill you, kill you!!"
Xie Huanyue had not recovered yet and was being firmly suppressed by Rong Nianbing and Zhou Weiqing. The other partners were also suppressed by the Seven Elemental Gods and other deities.
At this point, the outcome was settled.
All the Douluo citizens watching this scene had gloomy expressions. They knew that Huo Yuhao and his partners had lost.
The gap in strength and foundation between them was simply too massive; there was fundamentally no possibility of victory.
Dai Yuhao finally freed his hands and glared viciously at this divine sense clone of Huo Yuhao.
Because of this version of himself from a different timeline, his family was nearly destroyed. No matter what the outcome of this battle was, he would definitely be punished to kneel on a washboard when he went back.
Now, he wanted to vent his anger!
"Couldn't you just follow Father-in-law and work hard properly? You had to toss this space-time into such a mess!"
As he spoke, Dai Yuhao condensed an Emperor Sword in his hand and pierced through Huo Yuhao's divine sense clone with one sword.
Huo Yuhao's divine sense clone relied solely on divine consciousness to fight. In terms of spiritual realm, how could the divine sense clone left on Douluo at that time be Dai Yuhao's match?
"Is that all you amount to? Tang family loyal dog!"
Hearing this, Dai Yuhao burned with anger. A divine light burst from his eyes, blowing Huo Yuhao's entire body to pieces!
The bound Huo Yunhan watched this scene blankly. His throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible giant hand, unable to make a sound for a moment.
Huo Yuhao's blown-off head landed in the center of the battlefield and rolled in front of Huo Yunhan.
At this time, Huo Yuhao still had the gift Jing Hongchen gave Huo Yunhan, that phonograph, in his mouth.
"Gu Han... if it is for a just cause, fighting is no sin at all..." Huo Yuhao looked at his son and smiled.
"There are just some scumbags in the world who simply cannot be communicated with through words... You just need to try your best to release your anger."
"Hmph..." Tang San sneered, and then strode towards Huo Yuhao's head. "However, I, Tang San, only like to do things my own way."
Huo Yuhao ignored Tang San completely, but smiled looking at his son: "Gu Han... you know I like this continent, I love the people and soul beasts here, they are relying on you to protect them..."
Tang San seemed unwilling to listen to Huo Yuhao's ramblings anymore. He directly lifted a foot and stomped down fiercely.
Crash...
The head of Huo Yuhao's divine sense clone burst open, and the phonograph was trampled along with it.
"The loser should stop wasting his breath here..."
As if triggering some hidden switch, the singing voice sounded at this moment—
With a crisp bird's cry as the opening—
"The time has come... O Savior... O Savior..."
"YUDULIYA-VELE, YUDULIYA-VELE... Evil souls bringing endless terror are gradually approaching..."
In a daze, it was as if a crimson beam of light pierced through Huo Yunhan's reason.
The image of his mother being bullied, the images of his partners being suppressed, and the scene of his father dying tragically in front of him surfaced one by one—
"Ah—" The youth's tense nerves finally snapped at this moment!
The five orange-gold soul rings on Huo Yunhan's body showed overlapping shadows again, stacking together layer by layer, forming a magma-colored divine ring.
That was the possibility belonging to Martial Soul Xyz—Xyz Rank-Up!
"At this critical moment of destiny, I cannot admit defeat..."
"At the moment of dawn, betting my own life, I will definitely surpass myself..."
The youth was surrounded by a layer of golden aura flashing with electric light. The tears at the corners of his eyes flowed upward under the impact of the aura. The electric light roamed and jumped around him like agile snakes, continuously crackling. His full head of blond hair stood completely upright, every strand pointing straight up.
"Concentrate your Ki, break the darkness—"
As if it were a concrete manifestation of the powerful strength in his body, Huo Yunhan's aura abruptly became incredibly powerful. His every breath was like a roar spewed from the mouth of a prehistoric fierce beast, making the surrounding space tremble, forming rings of visible air waves spreading outwards.
At this moment, he was no longer that immature boy; there was not a trace of hesitation left in his eyes!
"This..." For some reason, looking at Huo Yunhan in this state, a trace of fear actually arose deep within Tang San's heart!
Swish!
Huo Yunhan didn't even look at Tang San in front of him, but teleported in an instant to his biological mother, Ju Zi.
Catching a glimpse of the newcomer, Dai Mubai was just preparing to open his mouth to mock a few sentences, but Huo Yunhan moved.
At a speed that the gods present almost couldn't catch, he directly chopped Dai Mubai's neck with a hand blade.
Boom!
A generation's God of War, a Second-Class Deity, Dai Mubai's fine head exploded like a smashed watermelon, the red and white matter directly splattering all over Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
Looking at this horrifying scene, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
This... what exactly happened here?
Zhu Zhuqing retreated several steps consecutively. She grabbed Xie Huanyue, who had been knocked to the ground, and extended her slender Hell Hundred Claws, pointing at Xie Huanyue's neck, signaling him not to act rashly.
In response, Huo Yunhan walked over without saying a word, and then slowly raised his right hand towards Zhu Zhuqing. Golden energy and electric arcs could faintly be seen intertwining, seemingly gathering terrifying energy in his palm.
Zhu Zhuqing was instantly terrified by this scene, her face losing its color. She no longer cared about the hostage in her hands and, utilizing her advantage as the God of Speed, retreated madly.
However, before she could retreat to the rear, Huo Yunhan preemptively blocked her path.
Bang!
The next moment, Huo Yunhan kicked out fiercely, actually forcefully kicking Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body into pieces!
God of Speed, Zhu Zhuqing, dead!
Tang San watched this scene in disbelief. He simply couldn't imagine that the boy who not long ago had only relied on pure energy to clash with him head-on, actually had such a leap in strength after the energy in his body underwent a qualitative change.
"Everyone, join forces to suppress this kid!"
Tang San no longer cared about his status and hurriedly called upon the gods present to surround and attack Huo Yunhan.
Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, and swarmed up along with Dai Yuhao and Tang Wutong.
Lie Yan, Ji Dong, Rong Nianbing, and Zhou Weiqing followed closely behind, each condensing divine skills and attacking towards Huo Yunhan.
In response to this, Huo Yunhan merely raised his arms, and the energy all over his body suddenly erupted!
Boom—
The terrifying energy fluctuation instantly blew away everyone who had come to besiege him.
Huo Yunhan did not stop, teleporting in an instant to the Life God King Gu Yuena.
"You are not the Auntie Yuena I know."
There was no hesitation in Huo Yunhan's eyes as he fiercely threw a punch at Gu Yuena's breathtakingly beautiful face.
Boom!
Another fine head exploded to pieces.
Life God King, Gu Yuena, dead!
"Gu Yue!" Seeing this, Tang Wulin couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Wulin, be careful!"
Before Tang San could warn him, Huo Yunhan flashed in front of him and fiercely attacked. A simple and direct uppercut forcefully broke Tang Wulin's incredibly tyrannical physical body in two.
Huo Yunhan fiercely stomped heavily onto the two halves of Tang Wulin's residual body that fell on the ground!
Bang!
Destruction God King, Tang Wulin, dead!
"Wulin—my son!" Xiao Wu waved the Asura Sword like a madwoman and swept over. Her opening move was the Asura God's ultimate technique, the Asura Blood Sword!
"Pay with your life!"
Ning Rongrong on the side quickly increased her amplification on Xiao Wu. One must know, the one with the strongest attack power on their side was the Asura God inherited by Xiao Wu.
The Asura Blood Sword slashed down carrying boundless murderous aura, its terrifying attack power tearing apart all the space along its path.
As if he didn't see it, Huo Yunhan merely raised a hand and forcefully caught the unparalleled Asura Blood Sword.
"This is impossible!" Oscar and Ma Hongjun had terrified expressions. That was the Asura Blood Sword that could cleave even the Dragon God's physical body!
Immediately after, Huo Yunhan arrived in front of them.
"Not good!" Seeing this scene, Ning Rongrong hurriedly manipulated the Exquisite Pagoda to provide a defensive amplification to Oscar.
As if he didn't care at all, Huo Yunhan executed two continuous whip kicks, kicking Oscar and Ma Hongjun in half at the waist, right through their defensive amplifications.
Surging golden energy swept out, and Food God Oscar and Phoenix God Ma Hongjun evaporated from the world!
"Don't let him get close, getting close means it's over!" Tang San hurriedly shouted violently to the remaining people on his side, while simultaneously brandishing the Golden Trident in his hand, drawing Indeterminate Storm halos one after another and sending them flying towards Huo Yunhan.
However, Huo Yunhan allowed the Indeterminate Storm halos to loop onto his body, and then easily broke free.
"How is this possible..." Tang San was directly dumbfounded.
Huo Yunhan arrived in front of Ning Rongrong next. The Nine Treasures Invincible Divine Light was like fragile tissue paper in front of the aura around him. Huo Yunhan's action was very simple: he raised his hand and slapped her head with one palm, spinning it several times before it snapped off in response to the sound.
"Hah!" Huo Yunhan opened his palm, and an energy wave gathered from golden energy directly burned Ning Rongrong's delicate body to ashes.
Nine-Color Goddess, Ning Rongrong, dead!
After seeing Huo Yunhan casually killing the deities on Tang San's side as if entering an unpopulated land, those deities who had been forced by the Tang family's threats now only felt a chill down their spines.
Especially Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena—they were God Kings! How could killing them in the hands of this boy be as simple as slaughtering chickens?
On the other side, Dai Yuhao, Tang Wutong, Lie Yan, and Ji Dong had all begun to execute their Divine Soul Fusion Skills.
"Father-in-law, Teacher, God of Destruction, please help us buy a breath of time!"
Author's Note: I held this chapter in for a long time. Writing it was an absolute delight, and I guess everyone couldn't wait for this scene either.
