Ye Tiansheng deeply understood the gap between himself and his opponent. Even in his strongest state, he carefully considered how to fight.
One experience of arrogance leading to failure was enough.
As the divine domain expanded, the protective reverse scale Ye Wen left for Ye Tiansheng once again entered standby mode.
At this moment, the two divine domains clashed. For the first time, Ye Tiansheng understood why Ye Wen's reverse scale had activated immediately.
Even within his own divine domain, Ye Tiansheng could feel malicious intent eroding him from all directions.
"How disgusting this divine domain ability is—under the premise that attacks are guaranteed to hit, it continuously launches mental assaults from the very beginning.
No, this is what an offensive divine domain should truly be like. Once activated, it leaves the enemy no chance to survive. Others fail to achieve this because they lack the ability to instantly construct such a complex divine domain. But it's not surprising for this ancient god from the Dragon God era to accomplish this.
Tsk, Father, you really put me in a tough spot.
But if it weren't for Father, I probably would have fallen for it already and gone mad as this guy said." Ye Tiansheng thought with deep apprehension.
After understanding the core composition of the Evil God King's divine domain, Ye Tiansheng knew that dodging was meaningless because the divine domain continuously drained him, and the intensity of the attacks was entirely under the opponent's control.
Realizing this, Ye Tiansheng's eyes grew more resolute and crazed.
"Since that's the case, then let's fight!
A gamble! Will I die first, or will my family arrive in time?"
This time, Ye Tiansheng didn't roar to muster courage. Instead, he poured all his offensive laws into the Holy Spirit Genesis Sword.
Though he wasn't a match for the opponent, an unnamed fire ignited within Ye Tiansheng, vowing to tear a piece of flesh from the other!
Seeing the approaching dazzling Yellow-Gold Dragon, the Evil God King stood still, waiting.
Then, when Ye Tiansheng came within a thousand meters, the Evil God King intensified his attack.
A sudden surge of purplish-black flames erupted, transforming into arrow-like meteors that shot directly at Ye Tiansheng.
Though Ye Tiansheng was in dragon form, his essence was the unfolding divine domain. Now, the outer membrane of his divine domain resisted these attacks.
However, compared to the reverse scale Ye Wen bestowed, Ye Tiansheng's Supreme God King-level divine domain couldn't withstand the purplish-black flames even momentarily.
After two volleys, the once perfectly spherical membrane of Ye Tiansheng's divine domain was riddled with holes. By the third volley, his divine domain was completely breached, and the terrifyingly powerful purplish-black flames struck Ye Tiansheng's dragon body.
But Ye Tiansheng didn't scream in pain. In this final moment, he crazily closed in on the Evil God King, then swung his dragon body and wielded the Holy Spirit Genesis Sword in his mouth.
Slash!
Though not the Genesis Slash, this sword infused with spatial cutting and various offensive laws left a gash on the Evil God King.
Seeing this, Ye Tiansheng pressed his advantage. Despite his massive dragon body, Ye Tiansheng moved with the agility of a snake, delivering over a hundred slashes to the Evil God King in the blink of an eye.
Gradually, however, Ye Tiansheng noticed something was wrong.
His attacks seemed ineffective, as the Evil God King's presence remained steadily calm.
It was as if the wounds on his body were mere decorations.
"This shouldn't be the case. According to the intelligence Father sent back and the method this guy used earlier to possess that God King, his essence should resemble the Wuxiang Demon.
Why didn't my attacks, imbued with annihilation laws and various countermeasures against Wuxiang Demons, work?" Ye Tiansheng wondered.
Though puzzled, Ye Tiansheng knew he had no chance of winning. It was time to fight desperately for more time. He stopped pondering and focused on attacking to delay as much as possible.
But at this moment, the Evil God King let out a sinister laugh.
Ye Tiansheng's heart tightened. He thought, "Is this guy going to pull another trick?" He wanted to retreat and create distance.
But the Evil God King acted faster. Instantly reverting to a pool of mud, he entangled and clung to Ye Tiansheng.
"This trick again!?" Ye Tiansheng complained internally.
But when Ye Tiansheng expected the reverse scale Ye Wen left behind to protect him again, this time it remained silent.
!!!
This anomaly made Ye Tiansheng's initially slight discomfort turn into full-blown alarm. Though unsure of the situation, his priority now was clear—to break free.
Yet, just like before, no matter how hard Ye Tiansheng struggled, the Evil God King clung to him like an unshakable leech.
"Hahaha, stop struggling, little eel. Become my puppet obediently. I've figured out the defense mechanism of the lifeline Ye Wen left you.
As long as your life isn't threatened, it won't activate, right?
Previously, I intended to invade your soul and completely erase your existence to seize your Dragon God body, which triggered the reverse scale's effect.
But now, I only want to control your body, not kill you. Naturally, it won't save you anymore," the Evil God King taunted.
Gradually, Ye Tiansheng felt his body growing numb, losing sensation.
He was about to become a complete puppet of the Evil God King.
"Damn it! Is this the end of my life? Once he controls my body, I won't even have the strength to resist. Then he'll drain the lifeline Father left me, and my soul won't survive either.
Afterward, this guy will use my soul to threaten Father and my siblings." Ye Tiansheng thought bitterly.
Finally, as the Evil God King completely blackened Ye Tiansheng's transformed Dragon, the once-renowned Dragon God of Douluo civilization was utterly defeated.
But just as Ye Tiansheng's eyes grew increasingly frenzied, thinking about how the Evil God King would wear down Father's last resort, planning to self-destruct to protect his family—
The Evil God King suddenly had a thought.
Puppets and hosts for possession—Evil God King had plenty.
But a divine dragon like Ye Tiansheng, who fully inherited the Dragon God's legacy, was irreplaceable. Perhaps after obtaining the artifact to traverse parallel worlds, he could find another in a different world, but that wouldn't be the Dragon God of their universe.
In this universe, every deity was among the elite of their respective worlds. Those who reached God King level were the crème de la crème among billions upon billions of beings.
Thus, before the Dragon God era, the Evil God King was undoubtedly proud. That was until he and Goodness encountered their greatest setback—Dragon God.
The Dragon Realm, though called a shared abode for all gods, was essentially a place dominated solely by the Dragon God's lineage.
Even mighty beings like the Evil God King had to rely on the dragon race's favor back then.
But who was the Evil God King? What law did he cultivate? Pure evil!
The Evil God King was never one to stay idle. Looking at the arrogant dragons before him, a bold plan formed in his mind.
Coincidentally, the seemingly benevolent Kindness God King, who appeared to care for others, wasn't kind-hearted either. Thus, they conspired in secret to devise means to target the Dragon God.
The result? The Dragon God went mad.
Following the great battle of the Dragon God, Goodness and Evil annihilated all dragons in the Dragon Realm and erased its name from history.
From then on, the Douluo God Realm entered an era ruled by the twin God Kings of Goodness and Evil.
But even so, the Evil God King harbored a lingering regret—he hadn't defeated the Dragon God alone.
Now, looking at Ye Tiansheng, the second-generation Dragon God firmly under his control, a malicious idea began to sprout in the Evil God King's mind.
"Hahaha, judging by your expression, you must know your fate, little eel.
All living beings naturally fear death. I understand your feelings—many beings under my hand behaved like you before dying.
But for a powerful and promising divine dragon like you, I'm willing to give you a chance.
Sign a contract with me, become my mount and servant, and I'll mercifully spare your life!
Come on, say you agree, and you'll live!"
The Evil God King spoke in a seductive tone, but the inherent evil in his words was unmistakable, even to an innocent child.
Thoughtfully, the Evil God King loosened Ye Tiansheng's mouth restraint, eager to hear the once-mighty Dragon God grovel and beg for mercy.
Thinking of this scene, the Evil God King was ecstatic, fantasizing about riding Ye Tiansheng like a dragon chariot right away!
But strangely, after regaining his ability to speak, Ye Tiansheng fell silent for a moment.
Accustomed to mocking others, the Evil God King assumed Ye Tiansheng was too prideful to beg for his life. This hesitation amused him further.
But at this moment, Ye Tiansheng's lips curled into a disdainful smile, his dragon eyes filled with defiance.
"You want me as your mount? You filthy mongrel, you dare!
Remember this, you scum! Before you stands the eighth son of the supreme ruler of the Douluo civilization, the Vast Sea God King! I am also the inheritor of the former supreme God King Dragon God's divine position—the second-generation Dragon God!
Dream on if you think I'll be your mount! Even in death, I'll drag you down with me!
Roar!!!"
Taking advantage of this brief recovery of minimal bodily control, Ye Tiansheng roared to the heavens, using his soul to forcefully reverse the laws of the Dragon God's divine position.
At this moment, the Dragon God's divine position, which had accumulated divine power since the Dragon God era, emitted an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation.
Facing such divine power fluctuations, even the Evil God King at his current strength couldn't help but panic.
"Damn it, you little eel, have you gone mad? Are you trying to detonate the Dragon God's divine position?" the Evil God King exclaimed nervously.
Though Ye Tiansheng hadn't reached the King of God Kings level, his divine position was genuinely of the King of God Kings level.
To accommodate more inscribed laws, divine positions from the Third-Level God onward showed slight changes in volume. More importantly, the divine position inscribed with laws was, in a sense, the embodiment of the laws themselves.
Detonating the divine position was equivalent to the laws themselves exploding.
Take Ye Tianhun, for example. As a High-Level God King, his domain could technologically and qualitatively crush two or three peers from the Douluo period and obliterate lower-level gods.
Yet, even Ye Tianhun nearly perished when facing the self-detonation of over a dozen 1st Class Gods and a group of Second- and Third-Level Gods. If not for Ye Wen's intervention with time laws, he would have died.
And that was just the self-detonation of 1st Class Gods. If it were a divine position nearing the pinnacle of God King levels, even the Evil God King himself doubted he could withstand it head-on.
Run!
The moment this thought arose, the Evil God King immediately acted on it. He didn't want to risk being blown up.
In the Evil God King's understanding, there was no way Ye Tiansheng could detonate his divine position. After all, in Ye Wen's world, sharing divine positions had become commonplace. Few gods carried their divine positions unless, like Ye Wen and Ye Tiansheng, there was no suitable person to share with.
In a sense, Ye Wen's Vast Sea divine position and Ye Tiansheng's Dragon God divine position were top-tier treasures. A sane mind wouldn't let them explode, even if seized by someone else—it was better than destruction.
After all, there was always hope of reclaiming it.
Yet, Ye Tiansheng did exactly that!
But just as the Evil God King tried to escape, he found Ye Tiansheng grabbing him instead.
"I won't let you run, you filthy bug! Join me in hell! Our family's world doesn't need your dirty hands!" Ye Tiansheng roared madly.
The Evil God King didn't waste time exchanging insults with the crazed Ye Tiansheng. He knew every wasted second endangered his life.
But at this moment, a faintly amused, icy female voice echoed from what seemed like millions of miles away.
"Well said. As expected of my younger brother."
The next instant, a blinding white light flared in the distance.
At this moment, the Evil God King's divine domain was pierced through.
