Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [484] (Patreon)

Within the Divine Realm, the Asura God smashed a large number of treasures and ornaments in his own palace, glaring angrily at the temple of the God of Destruction.

If it were any other day, the Asura God would have already gone to argue with the God of Destruction. But now was a crucial moment in his plan, so he could only swallow his anger and continue pondering his future plans.

Cursing under his breath, the Asura God fished out a seven-colored dragon scale engraved with strange patterns from his throne. He traced the patterns with his fingers, recalling the progress of his ritual, and only then did he feel a little better.

“Rakshasa God has consumed 90%, Angel God 40%, only the Sea God remains.”

“Give Tang San hope, let him obtain the Sea God’s Nine Trials, then guide him to discover that the Sea God alone cannot resurrect the little rabbit, prompting him to seek a second god’s trial and become the vessel for both my and the Sea God's power. In the end, when he reaches godhood, he will shatter the last remnants of the Rakshasa God’s position and erase the evidence, then destroy the remaining power of the Angel God.”

“When the Sea God and I leave the Divine Realm together, the Sea God's Trident will be left behind, and I’ll have the chance to launch a sneak attack and devour it completely.”

“It’s almost time, almost.”

“With this ritual left behind by the Dragon God, I will surely be able to, just like the Dragon God once devoured the Phoenix God to make himself whole, become an existence like the Supreme God King.”

A destructive aura emanated from the Asura God—not the pure destructive force from the universal laws that belonged to the God of Destruction, but the destructive aura of the Golden Dragon King, one of the split bodies of the Dragon God, carrying the power of the golden dragon.

Ever since he obtained this ritual, the Asura God had secretly begun fusing the Golden Dragon King’s destructive power. To do so, he didn’t even hesitate to orchestrate the downfall of the previous Thunder God during a mission, seizing the derivative power of the God of Destruction from his god position.

For this plan, as an enforcer god, the Asura God had committed countless deeds against the laws of the Divine Realm. Even with the lightest punishment, he would have been annihilated several times over.

He no longer had much time or many chances left; if he failed, once the inheritor of the God of Destruction or the Angel God ascended, his plan would surely be exposed.

However, none of the gods in the Divine Realm, not even the God of Sloth who was pretending to sleep in the Divine Beast Forest while watching over the Golden Dragon King’s cocoon, noticed that the moment the dragon scale appeared, the Golden Dragon King inside the cocoon raised his head. The wild, chaotic rage in his eyes instantly turned cold and sinister.

“This Asura God is useless, can’t even handle such a trivial matter.”

“But the remnants of the Purple RadianceAnihillation Dragon’s power?”

“Maybe I can use that too.”

The rationality in the Golden Dragon King’s eyes gradually faded, and the remnant soul once known as the Dragon God quietly retreated from the Divine Realm, appearing in the Silver Dragon King’s mind, where it constructed a hazy dreamscape.

The Silver Dragon King suddenly awoke from beneath the Lake of Life, looking toward the direction of the Spirit Hall, her eyes instantly filled with excitement.

“Di Tian, did you feel it? In the direction of the Spirit Hall, a familiar power has emerged.”

“God of Destruction and Asura God?” In human form, Di Tian frowned deeply and answered the Silver Dragon King nervously.

“Could it be that those two God Kings in the Divine Realm have detected our lord’s presence?”

“No, those two God Kings haven’t noticed me. It’s a conflict among their inheritors. But that’s not the most important thing—I felt it, in that Spirit City, the ancient power of our dragon clan has appeared.”

“The inheritor of the God of Destruction carries the aura of the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon!”

The Silver Dragon King’s voice was extremely excited, and her body began to tremble.

“The legendary Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon?”

When the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon fell, Di Tian was still an unhatched dragon egg. After hatching, he only heard his parents mention this now-taboo name a few times and never interacted with this being once hailed as the Little Dragon God, but he still understood a great deal.

“The Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon was an extension of the Dragon God, possessing the Dragon God’s power. In a sense, it could even be considered a slightly stronger Golden Dragon King.”

“If we can find that power, my lord, will you be able to...?”

Di Tian was so excited he could barely speak. As the overt ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, known as the Beast God, he was even more eager than the Silver Dragon King herself for the soul beast clan’s resurgence.

“There’s a very good chance. The power of the Golden Dragon is essentially the core power of the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon. If I can devour the power left behind by the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon, perhaps I won’t even need the Golden Dragon King to recover the form of the Dragon God and storm the Divine Realm. Even if not, it could at least heal my injuries.”

“My lord, I’ll go right now and bring that human with the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon’s aura for you to devour!”

“No, he’s the inheritor of the God of Destruction. If we make a move, it will attract the God of Destruction’s attention. Here’s what we’ll do…” The Silver Dragon King pondered, activating her astonishing intelligence.

Though when the Dragon God split, the Golden Dragon King inherited the Dragon God’s body and madness, while the Silver Dragon King inherited elemental control and wisdom; in a sense, the Silver Dragon King was perhaps only slightly better than the Golden Dragon King, who once tried to use his origin to kill Tang Wulin.

Under Di Tian’s expectant gaze, the Silver Dragon King made her decision.

“I am still seriously injured, but I can separate part of my origin and spiritual power to create a semi-independent new being. I’ll have my other self infiltrate the side of the God of Destruction’s inheritor, trying to discover the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon’s place of demise or, through him, attempt to set the Golden Dragon King free.”

“...”

Di Tian blinked, falling unusually silent for a moment.

“My lord, will this work?”

“Are you doubting me?” The Silver Dragon King glanced at Di Tian, her expression revealing nothing.

“I’m only worried your identity will be exposed and draw the Divine Realm’s attention.”

“Hmph, I laugh at that Asura God’s lack of strategy and the God of Destruction’s lack of wits. With the wisdom I inherited from the Dragon God, there’s no way they will see through my plan.”

The Silver Dragon King raised her head proudly, spat out a cocoon of light, and began slowly injecting her consciousness into it.

Due to her own injuries, the process of creating the clone felt extremely slow, so she thought of using external help to accelerate it.

“Di Tian, bring that big bug here. I need his origin to further strengthen this clone. With the bug’s energy, the cost of creating the clone will be minimized and won’t delay my recovery.”
