Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

However, the God of Destruction still underestimated the power newly born from Ji Dong and Lie Yan.

Although the new creative power was thin and Ji Dong and Lie Yan were not very skilled at controlling it, the essence of this power was extremely resilient.

No matter how violent the destructive power of the God of Destruction was, it could not completely annihilate this creative power.

Whenever it is erased even a little, more creative power is often born. This is the characteristic of this power, which can never be destroyed by the power of the god of destruction.

The battle between the God of Destruction and Ji Dong and Lie Yan was earth-shattering. Within the Church of Destruction, Dugu Bo fled swiftly through the crumbling buildings.

"Goodness, this commotion is huge! Who on earth is fighting the God of Destruction? Could it be Ning Qiuyang?"

Faced with the choice between going to check on the battle and ensuring his own safety, Dugu Bo decisively chose the latter.

With such a massive and terrifying battle, he could be killed by the overflowing energy even if he just watched from afar, let alone approach the central area.

"Kill~"

An angry voice came from afar.

Dugu Bo immediately shuddered. He recognized the voice as that of the God of Destruction, and he could hear endless anger and resentment in it.

"The God of Destruction is no match for the enemy?"

Dugu Bo made a shrewd judgment.

Soon after, Dugu Bo felt the Destruction God Lightning within his body stirring restlessly.

This terrified Dugu Bo half to death. He thought that the God of Destruction had discovered his escape and was about to kill him with the God of Destruction's Thunder.

After a period of trepidation, Dugu Bo realized that things were not as he had guessed. The Destruction God Lightning within him was not about to erupt, but rather wanted to leave his body.

Dugu Bo was both surprised and delighted. He knew that the power of the God of Destruction was as deep as the ocean, but the fact that the God of Destruction wanted to withdraw even the little power within him was enough to prove how powerful the enemy the God of Destruction was facing was, so powerful that he wanted to give up all his power.

At the same time, Dugu Bo was also looking forward to the removal of the Destruction God Lightning from his body.

Although the Destruction God Thunder greatly enhanced his strength, he would rather not have the power boost from such a time bomb.

Whether the God of Destruction could defeat his enemies without these powers or whether he had given up, the power of the God of Destruction within Dugu Bo remained in his body and was not taken away by the God of Destruction.

"No."

Dugu Bo was on the verge of tears. He had been looking forward to this for so long, but the Destruction God Thunder had stopped moving again. Why didn't you just leave completely?

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, stopped fleeing into the distance, and instead turned back towards the place where the battle had taken place.

Leaving like this isn't a solution, so Dugu Bo decided to take a gamble.

But on his way back, the sounds of battle mysteriously disappeared.

"What happened? The battle is over? Who won?" Dugu Bo was completely bewildered.

Battleground.

The once lush forest is now barren on one side, while the other side continues to grow vigorously.

The battle between the God of Destruction and Ji Dong and Lie Yan had already destroyed this forest more than once, but under the intertwining of the power of destruction and the power of creation, the forest was destroyed and reborn, and finally became like this.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan were panting heavily, while the God of Destruction had vanished without a trace.

"The God of Destruction is indeed powerful. I almost thought we were both doomed just now," Flame said, still shaken.

"Yes, if it weren't for our newly formed power, we would never have been able to resist the God of Destruction. Fortunately, we were the ones who ultimately triumphed."

Just now, at the height of the battle, the God of Destruction suddenly transformed into lightning and disappeared under the cover of numerous divine lightning bolts.

After the power of creation consumed too much of the God of Destruction's power, the God of Destruction, who had been affected by the power, regained his senses. After assessing the situation, although he was still unwilling, he wisely chose to escape.

He didn't have any deep-seated hatred for Ji Dong or Lie Yan. His only enemies were Ning Qiuyang and the Underworld. It wasn't worth fighting Ji Dong and the others.

"The God of Destruction has run away. If he hides even more secretly, how are we supposed to find him?"

Ji Dong and Lie Yan both wanted to complete the task left behind by their predecessor as soon as possible, but the God of Destruction was just too difficult to deal with.

They finally understood why the former God of Evil and God of Good hadn't dealt with the God of Destruction before passing on their divine positions—the God of Destruction was simply too slippery and difficult to control.

"We need to get familiar with the new power we have after merging as soon as possible. Once we can master that power, searching for the God of Destruction will become much easier."

Furthermore, once we find the God of Destruction, we can completely stop him, instead of letting him escape right under our noses again.

"it is good."

After Ji Dong and Lie Yan finished their discussion, they suddenly sensed a message from the God Realm.

"Oh no, the realm of the gods has been invaded."

"Who are they? Could they be invaders from the underworld?"

"It's pretty much a certainty. Apart from the underworld, it's hard to imagine anyone having the power to invade the realm of gods."

Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, both feeling helpless and uneasy.

Just when one crisis seemed to be subsiding, another arose. The matter of the God of Destruction had not yet been resolved, and now another crisis had struck the realm of gods.

"Let's go back. No matter how powerful the underworld is, since we have inherited the throne of the God King, we must bear our responsibilities."

"it is good."

Ji Dong and Lie Yan had no time to think too much, nor to recover the large amount of divine power they had consumed in the battle, and immediately returned to the God Realm to fight.

……

Are you leaving, or going back?

Just as Dugu Bo was wondering whether to advance or retreat, a voice that nearly made him wet his pants rang out behind him.

"Your Majesty, you've finally returned."

Dugu Bo immediately looked delighted.

"You don't know, the entire Church of Destruction was completely destroyed in the cataclysmic upheaval just now. Even I barely managed to escape. But I was worried about your safety, God King. Even though I am not very capable, I would be willing to give my life if I could help you in any way."

Dugu Bo brought his acting skills to the extreme; his performance was so genuine and heartfelt that it far surpassed Ning Qiuyang's, who relied entirely on his appearance to deceive.

"However, it seems that I was overthinking it. Your Majesty's divine power is unparalleled. Who could possibly harm you?"

Dugu Bo didn't notice that when he said those words, the God of Destruction's expression turned much uglier.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

He had just fled in disarray, and Dugu Bo's words stung his already fragile pride.

"Take care of what I'm telling you as soon as possible. I need to go into seclusion for a while."

The God of Destruction certainly didn't want to go into seclusion. He had consumed a lot of his divine power, but his injuries weren't too serious. It was just that the creative power was somewhat difficult to remove.

However, he is now in an even more precarious situation than when the previous God of Evil and God of Good were in power, and he dares not show his face in public for the foreseeable future.

If those two young men come knocking on his door again and beat him up without any sense of martial ethics, his lifelong reputation will be completely ruined. (End of Chapter)
