Chapter 625: Battle of the God-Kings

"Did you really think that just knowing the properties of the Heavenly Saint Abyss would be enough to defeat me? From the moment you entered the Genesis Origin, it was already destined that you wouldn't leave alive."

Boundless darkness surged from the void, flooding the space where the Evil God resided.

The Evil God was shocked. That darkness gave him a terrifying sense of pressure, like a hellish abyss, as if it would completely engulf him.

For the first time, he felt mortal danger.

"You really think you've got me? Evil Judgment!" the Evil God roared. He knew Di Tian was using a killing move, so he desperately activated the Judgment Scale, unleashing divine power and divine sense at all costs.

But all of his divine power and divine sense were like stones sinking into the sea once they entered that darkness—no ripples, no signs, completely lost, as if disconnected from him.

Even as a God King, within that pitch-black void, the Evil God couldn't see his own hand. His sense of touch, smell, taste, vision, hearing, and perception all rapidly faded.

He felt like he had entered an endless, boundless universe without a single ray of light. That feeling of utter loneliness in a vast cosmos, where only one being existed, unintentionally flooded his heart, filling him with despair and helplessness.

As the endless darkness surged in, streams of terrifying energy like cotton wrapped around him.

"Impossible! You're just a beast who only just stepped into the God King realm. How could you have such a deep comprehension of the laws!" the Evil God roared. But even his voice couldn't escape the absolute darkness.

"This is our Soul Beasts' God Realm. No one here is subject to your judgment." Di Tian's cold voice rang out, and with the Heavenly Saint Abyss in hand, he once again struck toward the Evil God.

Although invisible and intangible, the Evil God's instincts remained. As soon as the Heavenly Saint Abyss approached, he sensed a lethal threat and dodged quickly.

But in the face of absolute darkness, everything about him was suppressed. Relying on instinct alone, he simply couldn't match Di Tian's speed. Within a few moves, the Heavenly Saint Abyss severed half his body. A few more strikes, and even his head was chopped off.

"I refuse to accept this! If I still had my god position, if the Seed of Evil still existed, you'd never be my match!" the Evil God shouted in rage and unwillingness.

"Too bad you have neither. Dark Abyss Execution!" Di Tian shouted. Instantly, the surrounding black space vibrated like a millstone, fiercely grinding the Evil God's divine sense.

"Evil!" The Good God screamed, frantically unleashing the Power of Goodness, trying to break through the Nine Great Dragon Kings' seal to rescue the Evil God.

The Heavenly Saint Abyss descended, and Di Tian joined the battlefield to besiege the Good God.

With the Nine Great Dragon Kings, the super divine artifact Dragon God's Heart, and Di Tian wielding the Heavenly Saint Abyss, the Good God—who lacked her god position—was no match at all.

"You're all going to die!" A look of grim determination flashed in the Good God's eyes. She knew she had no chance of winning, and her body began to swell at a terrifying speed as she charged directly at the dark space grinding away the Evil God's divine sense.

"Stop her! She's going to self-destruct!" the Light Dragon King roared. The other eight Dragon Kings quickly joined him, forming a formation while simultaneously activating the Dragon God's Heart to suppress the Good God.

"Black Dragon Annihilation!" Di Tian transformed into his true form and let out a thunderous dragon roar, launching himself at the Good God without hesitation.

Di Tian and the Nine Great Dragon Kings all knew the consequences of a God King's self-destruction. If they let it happen, even the Creation Origin's God Realm would be half-destroyed.

They could flee at full speed and maybe survive—but those soul beasts below the god level, if touched even slightly by the scattered energy, would die instantly.

"I can't defeat you... but you can't stop me from self-destructing! Hahaha!" The Good God let out a crazed laugh as a dazzling white light burst from within her, rapidly expanding and instantly engulfing the Nine Great Dragon Kings and Di Tian.

Even Di Tian felt his body being melted by the white light.

As a God King, he couldn't endure it—how could the Nine Great Dragon Kings, only first-rank gods, possibly resist?

In an instant, more than half of the Nine Dragon Kings' bodies were melted away.

However, the white light didn't take the opportunity to finish them off. After breaking through the seal of the Nine Dragon Kings and Di Tian, it charged directly at Di Tian's Dark Abyss Execution.

Crack! The Dark Abyss Execution split apart, and traces of divine sense appeared—what remained of the Evil God's divine sense.

If the Good God had been any slower, he would have been completely obliterated.

"No!" Escaping death, the Evil God roared in grief when he saw that the Good God had self-destructed.

As a God King, even when facing someone far stronger, one always had a chance to survive.

Even the Evil God had been looking for an opportunity to flee.

But the Good God... actually self-destructed.

She self-destructed—for him.

The Evil God was being suppressed, his divine sense rapidly obliterated. The Good God knew that without breaking Di Tian's seal, he wouldn't survive.

To save him—and to severely injure Di Tian and the others—she chose to self-destruct.

Boom! Boom! Boom!Pillars of divine light shot into the sky, divine aura spreading across the entire Creation Origin.

"Becoming gods—so many of them at once." The Insect of Void was stunned. Why were so many people becoming gods at the same time?

"Remember that lion before? He gave up his chance to become a God King just for revenge, becoming a god early. Di Tian was the same. He could've made his God King position much stronger, but to protect the Creation Origin and stop the Evil and Good Gods, he willingly became a regular God King early. These soul beasts are doing the same. They all had a chance to become higher gods. But now, with the Good God's self-destruction, Di Tian and the Nine Great Dragon Kings alone can't stop the destruction. These soul beasts didn't hesitate to give up their future just to gain more power to stop this disaster." The Phoenix God said softly.

"What about us?" the Insect of Void pouted.

"What else? Like I said—we're here to help Gu Yue guard her home." The Phoenix God curled her red lips. With a wave of her deep crimson divine staff, crimson whirlpools appeared above the light pillars, greedily devouring the divine energy.

"Pfft! …Pfft!…"

On the ground, powerful beasts like Zi Ji and Bi Ji vomited blood. Their ascension to godhood had been forcibly interrupted, and they suffered serious backlash.

"Who?!" Sensing the sudden arrival of the Phoenix God, the Evil God jerked his head up.

In an instant, he saw a pair of massive purple-red wings slowly unfold from the place where the Good God had self-destructed. Though it was just one pair, they overlapped in layers and emitted phantom-like illusions.

A terrifying suction force came from those wings, strong enough to instantly absorb more than half of the Good God's explosive power.

The Evil God's eyes immediately locked onto the World Orb floating in the air. "The World Orb—you're the Phoenix God? Impossible! The Phoenix God embodies the power of creation. Her power shouldn't be this evil!"

The Evil God shook his head wildly. He couldn't understand—why would a God King who wielded such malevolent power possess the Phoenix God's World Orb?
