Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"I should have killed you the first time I met you. I regret it now."

The Destruction God looked at Xu Ran, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Although Xu Ran was still just a Titled Douluo, the aura emanating from him was almost not weaker than his!

Moreover, he remembered that when he and Xiao Lü first descended to the mortal realm to investigate Xu Ran, Xu Ran had only been a Soul Sage. And in less than a year, Xu Ran soared directly to Title Douluo of the 99th Rank!

This terrifyingly rapid "Cultivation" speed was simply astounding.

He asked himself, if he were in Xu Ran's shoes and had access to the same resources, he certainly couldn't have reached Xu Ran's current level. Even breaking through to Ultimate Douluo would require time to sediment.

Yet, Xu Ran seemed to have no bottlenecks at all; as soon as his "Cultivation Level" was there, he could break through. And his Soul Power "Cultivation" speed was also astonishing.

Xu Ran could be called the first of all ages.

For such a terrifying prodigy, he had been so dismissive at first. Thinking about it now, he really wished he could slap himself.

He would rather he and Xiao Lü never had children than wish for Xiao Lü to leave him. He couldn't live without Xiao Lü.

"Too bad. Now you have no chance. Even if I were to be the enemy of the entire Divine Realm, I'm not the least bit afraid," Xu Ran said with disdain.

"Arrogant!"

"How can the accumulations of the Divine Realm over so many years be overturned by you alone? Even the Dragon God couldn't do it! You, Xu Ran, will certainly not be able to either!" the Destruction God roared, his endless Destruction will coalescing into blades that flew towards Xu Ran.

The terrifying will of Destruction turned the entire sky into a destructive purple, a bewitchingly beautiful yet terrifying color that struck fear into onlookers.

All who were merely watching this will of Destruction from afar felt as though their entire bodies could be torn to shreds and completely obliterated.

This left everyone watching this great battle in shock.

When had they ever witnessed such a fearsome power?

Even Qian Dao Liu, the Guardian of the Angel God, had never seen such a thing.

Although he was the protector of the Angel God's Inheritor, the Angel God's own strength was only at the level of a First-Level God, and what's more, Qian Dao Liu had never even seen the true body of the Angel God, had he?

And now, the unleashing of the Destruction God's power had left them in awe.

Even those who were Titled Douluo felt ashamed for their previous proud and arrogant thoughts. Their gap with such a strong being was like the disparity between ordinary people and themselves, an unbridgeable chasm!

Only then did they understand how vast the gap between them and Xu Ran was.

In the past, even if they thought Xu Ran was powerful, it was only that he was much more formidable than the average Titled Douluo, but they were all on the same level; how much stronger could Xu Ran be?

Now they understood that Xu Ran had long transcended their level.

As Titled Douluo, the gap between them and Xu Ran had already become immeasurable.

To contend with a Divine King with the "Cultivation Level" of a Titled Douluo, regardless of the final outcome, Xu Ran was enough to be written into history. His name would be included even in the annals of the Divine Realm.

High in the sky, Xu Ran and the Destruction God were locked in fierce combat.

The scale was even more vast and terrifying than before.

That kind of power, if even a bit were to leak out, could destroy Tiandou City, that bustling city.

Because the level of that power was no longer comparable to anything in the human world.

Meanwhile, the Life Goddess, the Goddess of Kindness, and Gu Yuena took action at the same moment, layer upon layer of defense shields firmly protecting Tiandou City, ensuring that regardless of Xu Ran and the Destruction God's fearsome battle energy, it couldn't affect Tiandou City.

At the same time, Gu Yuena's eyes glittered with killing intent, and with a light wave of her hand, countless people within Tiandou City met their demise in an instant.

This sudden catastrophe sent a cold shiver through the people of Tiandou City.

Seeing those three women as beautiful as fairies, they felt both inferior and terrified.

In an instant, tens of thousands of people were slaughtered with a flick of a hand.

How overwhelming was this power?

It wasn't just Xu Ran's power that was formidable, but also those beautiful companions by his side, each more terrifying than the last. They had thought Qian Renxue and the others were the most honorable by Xu Ran's side, but now…

At the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

For they had observed that those who had been annihilated were the ones who had just slandered Xu Ran, which obviously had provoked the displeasure of those by Xu Ran's side.

Although Xu Ran was terrifyingly powerful, he had a good reputation on the Continent as a generous and kind person who never killed indiscriminately. But those who were close to Xu Ran were ruthless. Sladering Xu Ran in their presence, wasn't that seeking death?

"Lord Xu Ran keeps beauties in his golden house, and he even has such beautiful and talented women by his side."

"To be able to annihilate so many people so easily is terrifying. And with the fierce battle against the God of Destruction, the defensive shield they created is so stable. Possessing such strength, could they also be gods?"

"Those people deserved to die. Opportunistic wretches, even if something really happened to Lord Xu Ran, with the power of those by his side, he would still be recognized as the strongest in the world."

"Yes. They got what they deserved."

The appearance of the three goddesses and the three layers of stable defense comforted the people of Tiandou City a great deal.

After witnessing the strength of those by Xu Ran's side, they held even greater admiration for Xu Ran.

After today, no one on the Continent would dare to disrespect Xu Ran.

With such strength, as the strongest man in the world, who would dare to defy him?

...

Becoming more and more impatient, the God of Destruction was stuck in a deadlock with Xu Ran.

Especially as he grew increasingly worried, what if he lost to Xu Ran? He was one of the rulers of the Divine Realm, the Divine King. If he lost to a mortal, how would he have the face to rule over the gods?

And the morale of the Divine Realm would greatly decline because of this.

Now that the top combat power by Xu Ran's side had even surpassed the Divine Realm, how would they stop the First-Level Gods, Second-Level Gods, and Divine Officers from dealing with Xu Ran if the morale of the Divine Realm were to plummet?

Not to mention that Xu Ran had cunningly stolen Xiao Lü from him, but to lose in combat power to Xu Ran as well?

How dare Xu Ran?

He was merely a native of the lower realm, how could he be stronger than him, Destruction?

Impossible!

He was the Destruction Condensate, older than the history of the God Realm and the Origin of Destruction; how could he possibly lose to Xu Ran?

"God of Destruction's Thunder!"

With a roar from the God of Destruction, bolts of Destruction's Thunder as thick as barrels descended from the sky!

Each bolt of the God of Destruction's Thunder could destroy a city in Soul Land! Moreover, it carried the sharply honed will of annihilation, capable of obliterating all things in the world.

In terms of offensiveness, the God of Destruction was absolutely more fearsome than the Asura God; that sensation of eradicating everything could even erase any living being's will to live!

At this moment, the God of Destruction had clearly gone mad.

All of his hatred towards Xu Ran was unleashed through these world-shattering divine abilities.
