Facing the mockery, Broly grinned ferociously. In an instant, the power of the Great Ape fully erupted, and emerald-green aura transformed into a storm that swept outward. His body expanded to an extremely terrifying degree.
"What?!"
After sensing Broly's power, Costa was startled inwardly. His instincts made him want to retreat and keep a safe distance from Broly.
This subconscious action drew Broly's teasing. "Are you afraid of me?!"
"Afraid?! What kind of joke is that!" Costa glared furiously.
...
Universe 5's battle area.
Raditz arrived in this area alone.
Just as he was about to continue forward, a warrior who looked similar to Goku blocked his path.
This person was none other than the warrior carefully cultivated by Super Fu, Turles!
"A guy from another spacetime world? Don't think I'll show you mercy just because you have the same face as Kakarot." Raditz folded his arms and scrutinized Turles.
"Don't be too arrogant, Raditz. You should be grateful that the rules of the tournament don't allow killing. Otherwise, you would die miserably." Turles said coldly.
These words slightly stirred Raditz's emotions, but he did not get angry. Instead, he carefully sized up Turles.
"I'm very curious. Did you use some method to seize Kakarot's body, or do you just happen to look like Kakarot?" Raditz asked.
Hearing this question, a black light flashed through Turles's eyes.
"Don't lower-class warriors look more or less the same to begin with? It's just a coincidence. There's nothing to say." As his words fell, the evil aura around Turles surged explosively, and dark-black light expanded with him at the center.
In an instant, he completed his transformation. Black furious hair shot into the sky, and evil aura spread around him.
This appearance, this transformation, only differed from Super Saiyan First Stage in the color of the hair and pupils.
After transforming, Turles was like a devil that had crawled out of the abyss. His battle power received a ten-thousandfold increase after transforming, directly reaching 1,000 Rang!
This form was Evil Saiyan First Stage! An evil transformation that belonged solely to Turles!
This form instead reminded Raditz of the Super Saiyan of Demon transformation Lin Chuan had previously displayed.
Raditz scrutinized the transformed Turles. After carefully sizing him up a few times, he roughly judged what level Turles's current battle power had reached.
"Interesting. Is this an alternative Super Saiyan?" A trace of fighting spirit rose in Raditz's eyes.
He could tell that Turles's transformation should be on the same level as Super Saiyan Blue.
This level of battle power could be used as a warm-up.
"Raditz, if I remember correctly, you were once judged to be an upper-class warrior from birth, weren't you? If you, an upper-class warrior, were defeated by a lower-class warrior... I would really like to admire that face of yours after losing to a lower-class warrior." Turles smiled sinisterly. As an Evil Saiyan, he feared no opponent.
It seemed he truly had the confidence to defeat Raditz.
Hearing this, Raditz laughed, because what Turles said was already ancient history from who knew how long ago.
Not intending to waste words, he directly used action to tell Turles the answer.
With a thought, Raditz activated the Divine Power energy pool within his body, and azure Divine Power pulsed around him.
In the blink of an eye, he entered the full-power Super Saiyan Blue state.
The bright and dazzling Divine Power formed a sharp contrast with the obscure and dark Evil Power.
Raditz and Turles scrutinized each other like a pair of enemies.
The two began a collision of auras, testing the depth of each other's strength.
Suddenly, Raditz took the initiative to attack, raising his hand and firing an energy aurora toward Turles.
Turles also casually condensed energy and threw out a Destruction Bullet in response.
'Boom~~~!!!!' The two energies collided, and the flames of the explosion expanded outward, only to be rapidly compressed by the two men's auras.
In the next second, Raditz and Turles attacked at the same time, charging into the flames.
At this moment, the fierce battle was on the verge of erupting!
...
The scene shifted back to the battlefield between Vegeta and Jiren.
Enduring the severe pain on his body, Vegeta activated Evil Power and Bloodline Power to suppress the pain brought by his injuries, while also displaying a self-healing speed beyond imagination.
He struggled to stand up, then turned around and faced Jiren again, his eyes full of caution.
"Give up. You are not my opponent. Continuing will only embarrass yourself." The arrogant Jiren directly advised Vegeta to hurry up and admit defeat.
These words made Vegeta's pupils shrink, and anger rose in his heart.
Before he could refute, Jiren continued, "Your fists are very arrogant. I can't feel even the slightest purity from them. With that self-righteous fighting style of yours, no matter what, you can't possibly defeat me."
Hearing this, Vegeta did not refute it. What Jiren said was not wrong.
"You're right. My fists are indeed very arrogant, but that is precisely my pride as the prince of the Saiyans." Vegeta's firm gaze looked straight at Jiren, without the slightest intention of retreating.
He had personally experienced Jiren's overwhelming strength, but making him, as a prince, admit defeat was impossible.
'Hualala~~!!' Deep purple light flashed around Vegeta.
At this moment, he no longer hid anything and directly unleashed Ultra Ego.
As Demonized Super Saiyan 5 stacked with Ultra Ego, Vegeta's strength once again rose by leaps and bounds. A God of Destruction's might powerful enough to stir the World of Void descended.
After sensing the powerful strength Vegeta erupted with, a trace of surprise flashed deep within Jiren's eyes. He had still underestimated Vegeta.
"God of Destruction's power? I see. You are a candidate God of Destruction like Toppo." Jiren said expressionlessly.
It seemed that in his view, the power of a God of Destruction was nothing much either.
"I have never been some candidate God of Destruction. I single-mindedly pursue powerful strength, no matter where that power comes from! As long as I can use it!" Along with Vegeta's loud shouts, Ultra Ego fully erupted.
Deep purple God of Destruction light rose from the ground. Within this blooming God of Destruction light, Vegeta's Demonized Super Saiyan 5 form underwent a transformation.
The blade-like sharp hair was coated with a layer of dark purple light.
All the injuries he had suffered earlier in battle recovered under the nourishment of God of Destruction Power.
Not only that, Vegeta's body also appeared even stronger at this moment, and a special rune appeared on his chest.
This pure and vast God of Destruction Power drew the amazement of the gods, as well as the shock of some candidate Gods of Destruction.
Especially Kuri and Eric, the candidate Gods of Destruction previously selected in Universe 12.
The inner shock the two of them suffered was the greatest.
Because the destruction Vegeta displayed even surpassed the destruction they had erupted with after fusing through the Potara Earrings!
Was this really the level a candidate God of Destruction should have?
After his aura returned inward, Vegeta faced Jiren in the Demonized · Super Saiyan 5 · Ultra Ego state.
At this moment, his battle power had reached a little over a hundred Jian, constantly fluctuating up and down.
This strength was no weaker than Goku's strongest state.
"I see..." Jiren sensed Vegeta's pure determination to pursue power, and his heart gained an extra measure of respect for this powerful warrior.
Vegeta was very similar to him, but they were not entirely the same kind of person.
"Playtime ends here. Show your true ability, Jiren!!" Vegeta shouted.
Through their previous exchanges, he naturally sensed Jiren's concealment.
Pure mortal power taken to the extreme, even reaching a domain that surpassed gods. No matter what, he had to defeat this guy head-on.
"As you wish." Jiren gave Vegeta the greatest respect.
At this moment, he no longer hid anything and brought out his full power.
Pure mortal power erupted.
Light hotter than the sun bloomed from within Jiren's body.
A powerful aura transformed into a world-destroying tornado that ravaged all directions, sweeping across most of the arena.
Jiren's aura climbed step by step, directly reaching the level of a hundred Jian.
Although he was in the same realm as Vegeta, there was a major difference in essence.
Vegeta had reached this realm by relying on Ultra Ego, while Jiren was extreme strength itself!
This kind of ultimate power had almost no opponent within the same realm.
After the eruption of power reached a certain level, Jiren quickly restrained his aura, firmly sealing it inside his body to ensure he could unleash one hundred percent of all his energy.
"Come." Jiren said.
"What a terrifying guy. You can reach this level with pure power alone? But only you like this have the qualifications to be defeated by me." Vegeta assumed a battle stance, almost unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
The atmosphere of the battlefield suddenly became strange.
Neither Vegeta nor Jiren attacked first. Instead, they waited for each other, and the two fell into a brief deadlock.
The heartstrings of all spectators were pulled at the same time. This battle was even more eye-catching than Goku's battle with God of Destruction Jin.
After a brief calm, the storm descended!
"Destruction · Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta attacked first, locking onto Jiren with one hand. God of Destruction Power instantly condensed into shape, and a deep-purple destructive energy ball tore through the air, charging straight toward Jiren.
Facing the Destruction Bullet with boundless destructive power, Jiren's expression remained calm, with no intention of dodging.
He reached out with one hand, grabbed this Destruction Bullet, and with a little force, crushed it.
One attack failed, and Vegeta launched another continuous fierce assault.
Gathering power in both hands, he waved them rapidly. Dozens to hundreds of destructive energy bullets were thrown from his hands, turning into a dense net that attacked Jiren.
"A boring trick." Jiren cared nothing for this kind of covering attack, and a red light flashed through his eyes.
In just an instant, the hundreds to thousands of Destruction Bullets attacking him were detonated at the same time, turning into a massive wall of flame a thousand meters tall, cutting off the distance between him and Vegeta.
However, this was exactly one step in Vegeta's plan.
Seizing the opportunity, Vegeta charged forward with all his strength. In the blink of an eye, he broke through the flames of the explosion, descended before Jiren, and unleashed a full-power rising fist with everything he had.
Seeing this, Jiren's expression did not ripple at all, and he casually blocked Vegeta's attack.
'Bang!!!!' A massive roar came from space, but looking at Jiren, under the impact of this terrifying power, he did not move at all.
One strike failed, and Vegeta attacked again. God of Destruction Power stacked with punches and kicks, while the brutal power of Demonized · Super Saiyan 5 combined with the Prince's Battle Style. He pressured Jiren with full-body offense.
Under Vegeta's full-power offensive, even though Jiren was powerful, his footing was disrupted.
His unmoving body began to retreat, and in the end, he was blasted into the sky by Vegeta's erupted brute force.
"It's not over yet!!! Jiren!!" Vegeta's fighting spirit soared, and he erupted again, charging toward Jiren.
One red and one purple light collided in the skies of the World of Void.
Their strength had already surpassed the rules of the World of Void. Even while fighting fiercely in the void, they were completely unaffected.
Jiren and Vegeta's displayed combat ability amazed even the gods.
Lightning exploded in the void. The two continuously shuttled and moved through the void, offense and defense constantly shifting. The collision of their pure power even caused explosions in the World of Void.
Such an intense, hot-blooded contest of pure power drew constant cheers from Zeno on the Supreme Throne, making his blood boil.
This was another passionate battle beyond imagination.
...
Universe 11's spectator area.
"Ara ara, Jiren seems to be enjoying this battle too. That Vegeta from Universe 7 is truly quite amazing." Angel Marcarita smiled playfully.
As a clown girl, her meticulous scheming was the hardest to read.
"I didn't expect that Saiyan called Vegeta to actually be Universe 7's God of Destruction candidate. This power of destruction is indeed quite remarkable." Supreme Kai Kai exclaimed in amazement.
It was not as if Universe 11 did not have a candidate God of Destruction. Toppo was also a candidate God of Destruction. It was just that... compared to the God of Destruction Power Vegeta was currently displaying, he was slightly inferior.
"Mastering the power of destruction is indeed impressive. Universe 7 really is full of talented people. First there was Goku, now there is Vegeta, and also that unfathomable Lin Chuan..." Belmod muttered to himself, his mind gradually becoming heavy.
But very quickly, the serious look on his face was replaced by a wild and sinister grin as he laughed confidently. "However, all of this is futile. Jiren's ultimate strength stands above everything. Aside from that guy, no opponent is worth fearing."
No one understood Jiren's strength better than him.
Although the battle appeared evenly matched now, as long as Jiren brought out that power, the battle would end in an instant.
...
Universe 7's spectator area.
Tien Shinhan and Krillin watched in stunned silence. This level of battle had already surpassed their understanding.
In this world, could someone truly reach this level without relying on Divine Power?
Just how did that person called Jiren train?
"Vegeta's power is still rising. As long as he keeps maintaining this rate of improvement, he can win!" As a spectator, Goku was now watching with his blood boiling.
Jiren's kind of ultimate strength was even more attractive than a God of Destruction.
Fighting someone with such pure and powerful strength would give him a different kind of realization.
