Like a conditioned reflex ingrained in muscle memory, the Evil God King and the Good God King worked together in perfect harmony, unleashing an ancient divine king battle technique.
The super divine artifact Judgment Scales was placed beneath their feet, and the two god kings stood on opposite sides.
It was as if they had triggered the tides of the cosmos. The surging divine power made the two of them appear like colossal celestial bodies, their presence magnified without end.
The Good God King's super divine artifact, Heart of Kindness, was summoned at this moment as well, hovering at the center of the Judgment Scales.
When the two super divine artifacts were used simultaneously, a miraculous transformation occurred.
The Heart of Kindness began to resemble a gauge on the Judgment Scales, with its pointer leaning toward the side where the Evil God King stood.
The Good God King's divine power vanished, replaced entirely by an overwhelming flood of evil divine energy.
The Evil God King's body suddenly grew heavier. The Good God King's divine power had been entirely transferred to him through the Judgment Scales and Heart of Kindness.
The sudden increase in overwhelming divine power caused his evil aura to erupt, shaking the heavens.
A shadowy figure—pitch black with enormous horns—appeared behind him.
This massive demonic phantom, almost as tall as the golden-armored giant on Shenzhou Continent, had two pairs of four eyes, exuding an aura of dark spirits.
This demonic phantom, on par with the golden-armored giant, struck out.
Countless tendrils of evil divine energy, like black tentacles, spilled outward, forming a stagnant vortex of death. They quickly entangled the dazzling golden blade of the golden-armored giant, neutralizing its attack.
Judging by the result, the two ancient First-Generation God Kings held the upper hand, possessing an overwhelming advantage.
However, this advantage didn't allow them any peace of mind.
They were not only facing the golden-armored giant born of the divine punishment array.
Di Tian had come with full force, layering their encirclement from within and without—clearly intending to kill them both.
And indeed, events were playing out just as they feared.
After three thousand years of preparation, Di Tian had essentially driven the New God Realm here like a cosmic aircraft carrier, completely throwing aside any concept of "fairness."
He hadn't fought such a well-funded war in eight lifetimes—there would be no duels, only team brawls. It had to be a brawl.
As the two god kings and the golden-armored giant entered a stalemate, Di Tian launched his attack.
A blast of nine-colored light burst forth, and within its hazy brilliance was a dragon claw—yet more than just a dragon claw.
Indeed, Di Tian had ascended to the realm of the Dragon God, and the strength of his dragon claw had risen accordingly.
But to shatter the mysterious connection forged by two ancient god kings through their super divine artifacts in a single blow? That was still questionable.
This dragon claw, swiftly unleashed, was more like a vessel—a vessel containing the power of nine elemental forces:
Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Space, Destruction, and Creation.
These nine elemental orders entwined at the claw's tip.
It crashed toward the point of connection between the Evil and Good God Kings—the super divine artifacts Judgment Scales and Heart of Kindness.
The Evil God King tried to intercept it but left a brief opening—instantly seized by the golden-armored giant, who pinned him down and disrupted his defense.
Only the Good God King remained to maintain the energy transference and face Di Tian's terrifying strike.
Unfortunately, much of her divine power had been transferred to the Evil God King, so her resistance was feeble at best.
The nine elemental orders, like incorporeal threads, slipped through her energy barrier and wrapped tightly around the two super divine artifacts.
The multicolored divine threads layered themselves over the artifacts again and again.
The elemental orders rapidly compressed, forming a chaotic mass of elemental energy on the Judgment Scales.
The Good God King tried to purge the buildup immediately—but to little effect. The energy mass clung to the artifact like a parasitic leech, refusing to be shaken off.
Just as she furrowed her brows in distress, Di Tian launched another follow-up attack.
A black dragon roared forth and crashed directly into the Judgment Scales.
Once again, it tore through the Good God King's weakened defenses in an instant.
The moment it struck, the chaotic elemental mass on the artifact was like a bomb with its fuse lit.
"Detonate!"
The explosive was primed with Di Tian's deepest mastery—the Law of Darkness, which served as the ignition for the elemental conflagration.
Nine elemental orders, compressed to their limit, erupted all at once.
The resulting explosion was terrifying. Even within the New God Realm's ultra-dense planar structure, it blasted a vacuum into space, divine energy surging and lingering.
The super divine artifacts Judgment Scales and Heart of Kindness were blown apart and separated. The ancient battle technique of the two god kings was completely broken.
The results were clear on the battlefield:
The Evil God King, whose divine power had previously surged to astonishing levels, now saw it suddenly drop a full tier.
The once indomitable demonic phantom behind him grew visibly weaker.
Both god kings realized the brutal truth:
In just two or three exchanges, they had been defeated.
If Di Tian seized the opportunity to split and surround them, there would be no way out.
At that moment, they both moved—one heading straight for the Good God King, who had been blasted far away by the elemental explosion.
Together, their odds of escape were far better than alone.
But they had too many enemies.
In the Evil God King's line of sight, he could only watch helplessly as three god kings surrounded the Good God King, with the golden-armored giant of the divine punishment array sealing the perimeter.
And the divine power radiating from those three god kings clearly came from the same lineage as the Asura, Destruction, and Life Gods of the Douluo Divine Realm.
"Has the Douluo God Realm already fallen?!"
This chilling thought stabbed into the Evil God King's mind.
But his answer was not a voice—
—it was Di Tian's next attack.
Darkness: Heaven and Earth Without Light!
An ability akin to a domain—yet far more than that.
Governed by the Law of Darkness, it stripped away all other elemental orders, creating a field of pure darkness.
At that moment, the Evil God King felt his divine power become sluggish. His vision saw only endless night.
But he was, after all, an ancient god king who had lived for countless millennia. His judgment surpassed even the confines of time itself.
Even though the temporal order no longer existed within this domain, the Evil God King still made the correct call:
Escape? Impossible.
Fight to the death!
Just before Di Tian's attack reached him, there was a sharp sound—
And in that endless darkness, a single flicker of light appeared.
The Flame of Divinity—Ignited!
The irreversible burning of a god's life essence.
After this battle, whatever happened to Di Tian, one thing was certain:
The Evil God King… would be dead beyond dead.
