Lin Chen gritted his teeth so hard they felt like they were about to shatter, and every inch of his body trembled in excruciating pain, yet he stubbornly refused to let himself pass out.
The power had burst forth, and simply spitting it out wouldn't be enough. This raging ice dragon power had already become fused with his bloodline, making it impossible to separate. If he relaxed even slightly, only death by explosion awaited him.
He could only use the most foolish and painful method—to use his body as a furnace and forge his body with strength!
Each time the Ice Dragon Force tore through his meridians and flesh, the green divine power of the Goddess of Life immediately replenished and repaired him. Between destruction and restoration, his physical body, bones, and even soul were constantly tempered and strengthened in this extreme pain, and his strength soared at a visible speed.
This lasted for a full day and night.
From the blazing sun to the deep of night, and then to the first light of dawn breaking through the clouds, the last trace of the violent ice dragon power within Lin Chen's body was finally completely consumed and refined.
"Thump—"
He could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his chest heaving, but his face showed the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.
"Alive...I'm still alive..."
"It's so good to be alive..."
Overwhelmed with the relief of surviving the ordeal, he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand; he just wanted to lie there and catch his breath.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
A nine-colored divine light tore through the sky and descended with a deafening roar, a pillar of light reaching the heavens and the earth, enveloping Lin Chen entirely. An ancient, supreme majesty, like ten thousand dragons paying homage, exploded in his mind:
"Lin Chen, are you willing to inherit my Dragon God position?!"
Dragon God?!
Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply, his blood seemed to freeze instantly, utterly shocked. Before he could recover from the sound, two more pillars of light descended simultaneously from either side of the sky!
A purple beam of light, carrying an aura of domineering destruction; a green beam of light, flowing with a gentle power of nurturing life. The two beams of light intertwined and entwined, one destroying and the other creating, forming a perfect balance.
Two distinct yet equally majestic voices echoed simultaneously in his mind, resounding throughout his soul:
"Lin Chen, are you willing to inherit the dual divine positions of life and destruction of my wife and me?!"
Lin Chen stood frozen in place, his brain completely shut down, his mind filled with question marks.
Goddess of Life? God King of Destruction? And... Dragon God?
He suddenly recalled the ultimate secret of Douluo Continent: the Dragon God was the progenitor of the Dragon Clan, the most powerful God-King in the God Realm. He split into two, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, due to a siege by the God Realm Committee. The Golden Dragon King wielded the Godhood of Destruction, while the Silver Dragon King held the Godhood of Creation, their power terrifying to the extreme. Later in the original story, even the Asura God Tang San, along with several other God-Kings, barely managed to suppress the Golden Dragon King, demonstrating the incredible power of the Dragon God's true form!
What alarmed him even more was that, according to the secret legend of Ultimate Douluo, the Dragon God's split was not due to defeat, but rather a deliberate act—separating reason from divine position, allowing the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings to take charge of destruction and creation respectively, while he himself took the complete Dragon God position and disappeared without a trace.
"The Dragon God is still here? And still keeping an eye on Douluo Star?" Lin Chen's heart pounded, and he subconsciously looked at his left and right arms.
His right arm was wreathed in crimson-gold flames, while his left arm shimmered with icy-blue scales—the very soul bone power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. He instantly understood that it must have been his absorption of the essence of two great dragon kings in one go that triggered the supreme divine fluctuations of the dragon race, thus disturbing the slumbering Dragon God!
The Dragon God's visit at this moment was definitely not out of kindness, but rather to offer a benevolent inheritance. Lin Chen instantly understood the key point—with the Soul Beasts of Douluo Star now weakened and the Dragon Clan on the verge of extinction, the Dragon God must be tired of guarding and wanted to find a successor to take over this mess so that he could completely extricate himself!
"Good grief, are they treating me like a sucker?" Lin Chen thought to himself, but dared not show it at all.
But he was dumbfounded, and the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction in the divine realm were even more dumbfounded than he was!
The God of Destruction, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, watched as the Goddess of Life rescued Lin Chen. He was thinking that this kid possessed the bloodline of the Thunder God and had an extremely strong physical body, which perfectly matched the balance between destruction and life. It would be perfect for the couple to join forces to inherit the dual godhood.
But the moment that nine-colored pillar of light descended, the playful expression on the God of Destruction's face froze, his purple pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "Dragon God?!"
The Goddess of Life's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief: "He...he's still alive? Wasn't he supposed to have split apart and perished long ago?"
The couple were completely stunned.
The Dragon God is an ancient, forbidden being, a supreme god-king who existed since the dawn of the divine realm. His power far surpasses that of ordinary god-kings, making him the foremost among their predecessors. For countless eons, the divine realm believed the Dragon God had long since vanished, leaving only the legend of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings. Who could have imagined that this legendary being would suddenly reappear and even vie for their successor!
The God of Destruction's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly: You dragon god, you've been hiding for billions of years, but you just had to show up when I took a liking to this kid. You're deliberately trying to sabotage me!
In the Douluo God Realm, outside the Castle of Destruction, divine light swirled and laws intertwined. This forbidden area, rarely visited by anyone on ordinary days, was now filled with several supreme beings, and the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed to freeze.
Three figures stood silently, all supreme beings at the level of God-King, their auras vast and awe-inspiring, shaking the heavens.
The leader, the Asura God King, was clad in a suit of blood-stained armor, engraved with countless killing runes, each containing the murderous intent to annihilate all laws. His face was cold and stern, his eyes as sharp as blood blades, and he was surrounded by endless Asura killing aura. Just by standing there, he caused the surrounding space and time to tremble slightly.
Beside him stood a husband-and-wife god-king. The evil god-king wore a dark robe, the hem embroidered with strange demonic patterns. His face was handsome yet carried a hint of wicked arrogance. Chaotic and sinister light flowed in his purple-gold pupils, and every gesture exuded a domineering power that overturned order. The benevolent goddess, on the other hand, wore a pure white dress, the hem adorned with starlight. Her face was holy and gentle, her eyes as clear as the moon, and she was surrounded by a peaceful aura of life. This contrasted sharply with the evil god-king's sinister aura, yet they complemented each other perfectly.
Just then, the castle gates burst open, and two figures slowly walked out.
The God of Destruction, dressed in a purple-gold dragon-patterned robe, had a gloomy face and a surging aura of destruction around him, clearly indicating his uncontrollable rage. Beside him, the Goddess of Life, in a green dress, had a gentle life force quietly soothing the surrounding violence, her beautiful eyes filled with solemnity.
As soon as the God of Destruction appeared, his gaze locked onto the God of Asura, his voice filled with suppressed rage as he demanded, "Asura! What happened? What did you hide from us back then?!"
The five of them were all veteran god-kings born at the very beginning of the divine realm. They had known each other for billions of years and had never been so secretive before.
The Asura God King's blood-red armor trembled slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, knowing that this matter could no longer be concealed. He sighed softly and slowly revealed the secret of that year: "In the great war of the God Realm back then, it was not I who forcibly killed the Dragon God... It was the Dragon God who took the initiative to ask me to shatter and split his body, transforming it into the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings."
Upon hearing this, both the Evil God King and the Good Goddess were startled, and the Destruction God King's pupils shrank drastically.
"The Dragon God's true form did not perish, but quietly departed with his complete divine position," the Asura God King continued. "At the time, I thought he had completely vanished, only realizing the truth later. However, he remained hidden and did not disrupt the order of the divine realm, so I did not make a fuss. I just never expected that after billions of years, he would appear today, seeking a successor!"
Just then, the heavens of the divine realm suddenly trembled violently, countless divine runes shattered and reformed, and a nine-colored dragon shadow spanning the galaxy appeared out of thin air, coiling above the sky. The dragon's scales flowed with nine-colored divine light, and its whiskers stirred up the laws of space and time. It was merely a phantom, yet it made the laws of the entire divine realm bow down.
"Dragon God!"
The five God-Kings looked up in unison. The blood-armored Asura, the purple-robed Destruction, the green-skirted Life, the alluring Evil, and the holy Kindness—the five veteran God-Kings gasped in shock, their expressions changing drastically.
The God of Destruction's face turned ashen, his purple aura of destruction surging, and the Destruction Scepter in his hand suddenly materialized, the pressure of this super artifact sweeping across the surroundings. He demanded sharply, "Dragon God! How dare you openly appear in the God Realm!"
The nine-colored dragon let out a light laugh that shook the universe, its dragon eyes sweeping mockingly over the God of Destruction: "Destruction, it's been billions of years, and your temper is still as fiery as ever. All these years I have been lying low in the chaos, never interfering with the order of the God Realm, so why are you so angry? If I really wanted to wreak havoc in the God Realm, the five of you would probably be lucky to escape with your lives."
As soon as the words were spoken, the power of the Nine-Colored Dragon God and the purple destructive power collided violently, instantly shattering the void into countless black holes. The violent energy ripples caused the surrounding stars to tremble.
"Enough!"
The Asura God-King's blood-red eyes narrowed, and the Asura Demon Sword appeared out of nowhere; the Goddess of Life raised her jade hand lightly, and endless vitality intertwined to form a barrier. The two attacked at the same time, forcefully breaking the confrontation between the two god-king level forces.
"Stop the internal strife." The Asura God King said in a deep voice, "The most urgent task is to deal with that little guy from Douluo Star. He has been waiting for a long time."
The Goddess of Life nestled beside the God King of Destruction, softly advising, "Little Zi, let's put the dispute aside for now. The fluctuations of divine positions on Douluo Star are too dazzling; some powerful figures have already begun to notice. If we delay any longer, not only will that boy be in danger, but our inheritance will also be subject to change. We must immediately take him to the hidden space and let him make his own choice."
Meanwhile, in the Sunset Forest of Douluo Star, Lin Chen was already jumping up and down in a panic.
He shouted at the three pillars of light for a long time, asking why he had been chosen, but neither the Dragon God, the Goddess of Life, nor the God King of Destruction responded to him. It was as if they were all confronting each other in the divine realm.
"What the hell is going on?!" Lin Chen roared angrily, his soul power tensing as he warily scanned his surroundings. "Say something!"
He knew perfectly well that such energy fluctuations at the God-King level could not be hidden from top experts.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena must be lurking deep in the Star Dou Great Forest right now. She is most sensitive to the aura of the dragon race. Once she senses the fluctuations of the Dragon God's position, she will definitely rush over immediately. There is also Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall. As the successor of the Rakshasa God, her perception of the divine power of the God Realm is far beyond that of ordinary people. If she discovers it, it will definitely cause complications!
"Hey! You three, listen up!" Lin Chen roared at the pillar of light, his voice urgent. "This is Douluo Star! The Star Dou Great Forest has the Silver Dragon King, and the Spirit Hall has Bibi Dong. If we don't leave now, we're all in trouble! Seeing that there was still no response, Lin Chen decided to give up and said, "If you don't leave, I will! I don't care about you anymore!"
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, he felt his body being pulled into a hidden, empty space by an invisible force.
Looking up, he instantly held his breath—before him were not only two divine figures and a giant dragon, but five people and a dragon, standing quietly in this space where laws intertwined, and every breath made him feel suffocated.
The leader, the Asura God King, was clad in blood-red battle armor, his armor stained with a murderous aura. He held a dark red light blade, his eyes were as cold as knives, and his body was surrounded by endless Asura killing intent.
To his left was the God of Destruction, clad in a long robe with purple and gold dragon patterns, holding the Scepter of Destruction, his face cold and stern, purple divine power surging, exuding an overbearing ruthlessness that could destroy everything.
Beside her, the goddess of life wore a long emerald green dress, radiating vitality. Her eyes and brows were gentle, yet she possessed an aura of sacred inviolability.
On the other side, the evil god-king, clad in black robes, exuded a sinister aura, with deep purple eyes and a hint of unruliness at the corners of his mouth; the kind goddess, dressed in snow-white robes, had clear, bright eyes, and her holy aura formed a stark yet harmonious contrast with the evil god-king.
Above the five people, a nine-colored dragon coiled across the void, its scales shimmering with light, its whiskers stirring up chaos as it swayed, and its eyes were as majestic as the heavens.
It was none other than the legendary Dragon God.
