At this moment, a familiar and welcoming energy descended.
Having regained all its authority, the Douluo Plane's Plane Spirit used its mighty power to cross planes, descending upon the Demon Plane and enveloping Chen Junting, the only one still forcing himself to stand. Immediately after, the aura of a Second-Tier God erupted at this moment!
Bolstered by the Plane Spirit, Chen Junting met Tang San's gaze and shouted angrily, "Whether it's true or false is decided in the hearts of the people!"
"Decided in the hearts of the people!"
"Decided in the hearts of the people!"
"Sea God, we no longer believe in you!"
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a fuse, completely igniting everyone's emotions, which thoroughly erupted at this moment.
Sea God?
Over ten thousand years had already passed, and the entire continent had long treated your deeds as legends, as casual stories. Apart from a few factions that originally believed in the Sea God, the others at most held some awe; who would truly keep you in their hearts?
Now it seemed that the so-called Sea God from the legends was actually this kind of person, then don't blame everyone for no longer believing in you!
At this moment, even for Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the Sea God Clan, and the Sea Spirit Beasts, the faith in the Sea God in their hearts was shattered into pieces by Tang San's actions.
They were completely disappointed.
And this chain reaction also caused Tang San's expression to drastically change at this moment. Because he realized that his faith, which had been continuously declining just now, had now turned into a frantic plummet!
If this rate of decline continued, he feared it wouldn't be long before he could no longer gather the power of faith.
Right at this time, Chen Junting, who had received the blessing of the Douluo Plane's Plane Spirit, grasped the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword in his right hand. In that instant, the seven-colored radiance of the Douluo Plane completely converged onto the sword body, transforming into a nine-colored divine sword that soared into the heavens and pierced the earth!
In a flash, Chen Junting raised his sword and slashed down at Tang San's divine sense. The power of this strike was enough to rival a God King's blow!
Seeing this, Tang San's face immediately changed. Facing Chen Junting making the first move, he naturally couldn't remain indifferent. Wielding the Sea God's Trident in his hand, rings of golden light from the move: Unfixed Storm, immediately covered his body. While surging towards Chen Junting's sword strike, they also flew towards Chen Junting's position.
However, the space between heaven and earth seemed to suddenly change.
The next second, "Heaven and Earth Fall Silent!"
A burst of intent erupted!
An artistic conception of absolute solitude filled it, affecting the mind and spirit.
Immediately after, this intent enveloped Tang San. Tang San, who was purely formed from divine sense, suddenly seemed as if he had suffered a heavy blow. His entire divine sense avatar nearly stumbled, and at the same time, the "Unfixed Wind Storm" also paused on the spot for a moment.
Seeing this, Chen Junting seized the opportunity. An aura of "Supreme Dominance" instantly enveloped the entire Demon Plane.
In merely an instant, all the energy of the Demon Plane was drawn out and then mobilized onto the nine-colored giant sword. Even the "Unfixed Wind Storm" shattered directly after its divine power was stripped away!
Now the nine-colored giant sword became even more prosperous and unstoppable. In his haste, Tang San had no choice but to swing his trident to block it head-on.
Boom—
The moment the two divine artifacts collided, a terrifying energy fluctuation swept across the entire plane, and the blinding white light made everyone unable to open their eyes. By the time the aftershocks dissipated, only Chen Junting was left, along with the golden trident remaining in place.
As for Tang San's divine sense, its whereabouts were unknown.
Chen Junting didn't pay too much attention to this.
Now, since Tang San's divine sense had been dealt with, and the image he left in the hearts of the Douluo Plane's living beings had been completely shattered, Chen Junting only had the final step left.
Becoming a God!
The light in Chen Junting's eyes shifted, and he cast his gaze towards the Demon Plane's Plane Spirit, which had been trembling in the corner ever since Tang San's divine sense appeared.
Woosh—
Suddenly, the Douluo Plane's blessing dissipated from Chen Junting. However, the Douluo Plane Spirit's suppression did not relax in the slightest. Like a massive mountain, it thoroughly suppressed the Demon Plane Spirit, turning it into fish on a chopping block.
The next second, Hum!!!
A bizarre, deep, and resounding energy suddenly rang out from Chen Junting. A purple-gold ring slowly rose behind him, resembling a black hole that captivated the soul.
This ring was exactly the Demon Empress's divine ring.
Ever since the Demon Empress died and it was discovered that she could still condense a divine ring, or rather, a million-year soul ring, it had been suppressed by Chen Junting using an array, keeping it dormant within his body.
Because the moment he saw this divine ring, Chen Junting had a new idea about his path to godhood. After all, he couldn't possibly waste such a divine ring containing vast energy.
Therefore, he planned to use the divine power contained within the divine ring, along with the external soul bone left behind by the Demon Empress at the time, to forcefully break through the Level 100 boundary with profound energy, and then absorb the divine ring.
And so, Chen Junting immediately triggered the divine ring.
But right at this moment, the Douluo Plane's Plane Spirit suddenly burst forth with a blinding, incredibly pure seven-colored divine light. This gentle radiance contained the supreme power of planar laws, instantly enveloping the divine ring and thoroughly dispelling and purifying the power of resentment on it!
This caused the divine ring to immediately undergo a metamorphosis. The original purple faded, replaced by the purest gold.
Chen Junting's eyes shifted.
Hum—
He triggered the divine ring, making it descend upon his body. Red, red, red, red, red, red, orange, rose gold, and gold-red—nine soul rings slowly rose, leaving a tenth empty spot.
The divine ring's energy, carrying the power of the plane, wrapped around Chen Junting's body like the warmest spring water. In an incredibly profound manner, it madly poured into his limbs and bones, beginning the deepest level of fusion with his own god-level physique and god-level spiritual power, and constantly impacting his Qi Sea.
A full quarter of an hour passed.
Crack—
Chen Junting suddenly opened his eyes, feeling that last invisible barrier from mortal to god, which had troubled him for so long, shatter with a boom! This happened in this life-and-death moment, opened by the "key" of the Demon Empress's divine ring, and pushed with all its might by the Douluo Plane.
Rumble—
The massive roar like the rumbling of heaven and earth did not come from the outside world, but directly exploded within his body, in his soul core!
A brand-new, vast and boundless power that transcended the mortal realm, like a bursting galaxy, instantly filled every corner of his body! His entire essence, energy, and spirit were completely drawn out at this moment, undergoing a drastic metamorphosis. Bones shattered and were remodeled in divine light; charred skin peeled off, and new skin flowed with a jade-like luster, a hundred times more resilient than before; meridians were scoured and widened by the majestic divine power, like river channels capable of holding a galaxy; his divine sense also underwent an earth-shattering metamorphosis under this linked influence. Wherever his divine sense reached, every detail was visible. He could even span across the entire Demon Plane, reflecting the flow of energy and the rhythm of life clearly in his mind.
However, this was not the end.
Or rather, this was merely the beginning.
The instant he broke through Level 100, Chen Junting's divine sense immediately linked with the Douluo Plane's Plane Spirit. With the Plane Spirit's help, an emotionless voice echoed through heaven and earth.
"Over dozens of years, I established the Array Dao, created soul spirits, invented artificial soul rings and artificial soul bones. During this time, I annihilated the Holy Spirit, and later killed the Evil God, leading the counterattack against the demons. I have made great contributions to all living beings."
"Today, I shall become a God!"
As his words fell, Chen Junting immediately used the method of becoming a god through faith taught to him by the God of Destruction to trigger the power of faith.
Rumble—
At this moment, what responded to him would be the living beings of the Douluo Plane!
A shout that was not a physical vibration, but a resonance from the depths of the souls of billions of living beings. Their faith converged at this moment into an invisible torrent that seemed capable of shaking the very foundation.
And this was merely the overture to the beginning of the chapter!
The next second, the true torrent descended!
It was a magnificent sight beyond words!
Endless, purely extreme white light spots, like a reverse rain current, surged from the earth and oceans, converging above the highest heavens, resembling a galaxy draped across the firmament.
This power of faith pierced through all barriers, from every corner of the Douluo Continent—prosperous capitals, remote villages, vast forests, boundless oceans, freezing glaciers... As long as one had heard Chen Junting's name and felt admiration for him, as long as one had been indirectly graced by his favor, longed for his protection, or even been conquered by him, all of it came surging forth!
This river, formed by the power of faith, was the most devout, passionate, and pure thoughts of billions of living beings on the Douluo Plane! It was gratitude, it was worship, it was prayer, it was hope... It was a torrent of will carrying everything related to the name "Chen Junting"!
At this moment, the white underwent a metamorphosis, turning into a golden galaxy that poured down from beyond the nine heavens. Ignoring all spatial barriers, it crossed the Douluo Plane and arrived in the Demon Plane.
On the Demon Plane's side, a river of faith similarly converged. Although it was much smaller than the river of faith from the Douluo Plane, it was still enough to be described as "spectacular."
Immediately after, Boom—
The river of faith, using the Demon Empress's divine ring as a medium, was completely poured into Chen Junting. Subsequently, under the effect of the power of faith, the Demon Empress's divine ring completely fused with Chen Junting, and his entire person underwent a complete metamorphosis at this moment.
Soul rings shone all over his body, but apart from the first six soul rings, the last four soul rings all underwent a metamorphosis. The dazzling gold was truly eye-catching, and all of them became god-level soul rings.
At the same time, the Rakshasa God's mark on Chen Junting's glabella completely disappeared. Replacing it was a convergence of laws representing authority: slaughter, judgment, suppression, arbitration, redemption, sword... Finally, they merged into one, transforming into a longsword with gold and silver patterns.
As the power of faith continuously poured in, Chen Junting's aura also continuously climbed. From initially being equivalent to the level of the Demon Plane's Plane Spirit, it rose to the level of the Douluo Plane's Plane Spirit, and then continued to climb until it reached a daunting level, arriving at the final critical point.
Boom—
A terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
This realm was called: the God King Realm!
Chen Junting's right hand suddenly opened. The ancient Immortal-Slaying Sword instantly disintegrated, transforming into the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and the Seven Kill Sword, which floated by his side.
When he raised his hand and grasped the Seven Kill Sword, Hum—
The sword's hum carried a joy like the birth of life and a majestic pressure, actively throwing itself into the center of the golden torrent of faith!
The blade of the Seven Kill Sword trembled violently. The two characters "Seven Kill" on the sword's spine seemed to come alive under the mad infusion of the golden power of faith! The color also gradually shifted from silver-white to a noble, majestic gold that contained the authority to judge all living beings.
Also at this time, an even grander sword hum, as if piercing through the river of time and space, rang out! An indescribable pressure, mixed with supreme slaughter and the judgment of all, soared into the sky!
The brand-new Seven Kill Sword floated in front of Chen Junting, as if forged from the primal energies of the universe. At this moment, it was no longer just a sword, but the embodiment of a rule—Order's Judgment!
This was the Super Divine Weapon—Sword of Order, "Seven Kill"!
However, this metamorphosis did not stop.
At the same time, the armor on Chen Junting's body, a fusion of soul bones and battle armor, also let out an unprecedented hum!
Like a cheer of rain after a long drought, it greedily sucked in the surging golden torrent, eventually metamorphosing into divine armor. Furthermore, every soul beast represented by the absorbed soul bones turned into an imprint engraved upon it. At the same time, the color of the divine armor became deeper and more restrained, yet an arcane luster, as if containing endless starlight, shone from within the divine armor.
This was—the Divine Armor of Order!
Tier—Super Divine Weapon!
Facing the remaining power of faith, Chen Junting poured it all into the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. This also caused it to undergo a metamorphosis! The array diagram and divine swords hummed. Originally already divine artifacts, they rapidly skyrocketed at this moment, and finally... "Hum—"
With the sword formation united, it became a Super Divine Weapon!
At this moment, Chen Junting was clad in the Divine Armor of Order, with the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation floating behind him. Ten terrifying divine rings shone brilliantly, and the mark of order on his glabella seemed to reflect all evil thoughts.
In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. The sun and moon appeared in the sky together, holy light shone upon the world, and lotuses bloomed out of thin air, celebrating the birth of a God King!
At this time, Chen Junting extended his right hand forward.
The moment he placed it on the hilt of the Seven Kill Sword, a terrifying sword intent roared. At the same time, a God King's majesty that reached the heavens and pierced the earth, sweeping over all living beings, radiated across both planes, declaring to all living beings!
"Suppressing evil, redeeming the mortal realm! I shall become—"
"The God of Order!"
The moment the majestic voice fell, the Heavenly Eye on Chen Junting's glabella opened. Threads of karma and destiny had no possibility of hiding in his eyes, and naturally, there was no reason to let them go.
Hum—
With a movement of his divine sense, sword intent crisscrossed the sky!
The next second, all the demons in the entire Demon Plane turned to ash, vanishing into nothingness in the blink of an eye. Even the remnants in the Douluo Plane, as well as the evil soul masters who had committed atrocities, had nowhere to hide, meeting the fate of turning to ash.
Even the Demon Plane's Plane Spirit couldn't hold on for a single breath. Chen Junting didn't even glance at it; with just a sweep of sword qi, its entire materialized "body" was split into pieces, turning into countless dark purple energies. At the same time, the spirituality born within it was directly erased, and it no longer had the power to resist.
