Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

```

"Sword's Intent, Godslayer!"

Xu Ran's nine soul rings lit up simultaneously at this moment. Rays of dazzling light enveloped them and these soul rings transformed into longswords identical in appearance to the Godslayer Sword, each sword nurturing a different Sword Intent within.

Called forth by the Godslayer Sword, these nine swords merged into it, a grand Sword Intent emanating from them.

Xu Ran slashed toward the heavens!

The magnificent thunder was actually cleaved in two by Xu Ran's sword.

Another slash swept out, and the surrounding God of Destruction's Thunder exploded in unison at this moment.

The entire sky was filled with countless mushroom clouds.

The gaze of the people below Tiandou City towards the sky was also blocked.

The remnants of the God of Destruction's Thunder, greatly weakened by Xu Ran's sword, fell upon the layers of defenses protecting Tiandou City from above, stirring up ripples, and several layers of the shields simply shattered and broke apart.

This was enough to show the terror of the Destruction God's divine technique.

The Destruction God, a God King-level powerhouse of the Divine Realm, was indeed worthy of his title.

However, Xu Ran's combat power seemed...

"Could it be that Xu Ran's strength has indeed surpassed that of a Divine King? I really wasn't wrong," Gu Yuena watched the scene, her beautiful eyes shining with an awestruck luster.

She was well aware that Xu Ran, with such strength at the Titled Douluo level, was far superior to those who followed the conventional path.

Her own ultimate strength would be that of a Dragon God, possessing the same might as the ancient Dragon Gods.

That was the limit under her ideal state.

But Xu Ran seemed to have no limits.

Still only a Titled Douluo, yet he was able to shake a Divine King. This feat was far more shocking than Xu Ran's previous slaying of the Sea God and the Rakshasa God.

A First-Level God is not considered the most powerful being of this world. But a Divine King is indeed the most elite existence in the Divine Realm.

This meant that Xu Ran, not yet a god, was already capable of contending with the strongest in the Divine Realm. How formidable was that?

"Xiao Zi is no match for Xu Ran."

The Life Goddess wore a complicated expression on her face.

She knew she could only stand with Xu Ran. Thus, she was destined to oppose Xiao Zi.

If Xiao Zi could let go, it would be fine, but how could his proud nature tolerate this?

"Xu Ran, you deserve to die!"

The aura emanating from the Destruction God began to falter.

The energy capable of destroying heavens and earth seemed somewhat uncontrolled.

Seeing all his divine techniques unraveled by Xu Ran, the Destruction God couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness.

How good would it have been if he were not so arrogant, and had heeded Tang San's warning and struck at Xu Ran earlier? Now, he ultimately raised a tiger for trouble.

And now it seems that even the Goddess of Kindness has become Xu Ran's.

The power at Xu Ran's side had already grown significant enough that they could no longer ignore it.

If Xu Ran continued to grow, he would eventually take over the entire Divine Realm. But how was he to stop him? Even if he were to burn his divine soul, killing a thousand enemies at the cost of losing eight hundred of his own, and use his final trump card, that potent super divine technique—still, he had no assurance of crushing Xu Ran.

Xu Ran had too many trump cards.

The armor on Xu Ran was like a Divine Artifact of defense, helping him resist a great portion of the attacks, and the sword in his hand was even more like a super divine weapon, posing a tremendous threat to him.

"Destruction God, what now? Do you still have any tricks left?"

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow.

```

He knew the Destruction God still had a trump card. Every god possesses their most powerful super divine technique—like the Sea God's "Twilight of the Sea God" and others—yet the forbidden attack of the Destruction God is definitely one of the strongest offensive moves in the world.

If the Destruction God truly unleashed that forbidden attack, without any protection, a mere whiff of his intent could reduce any bustling city to ruins.

The Destruction God is not something the Sea God can compare to.

Such destructive intent is what all beings in the world fear the most.

Destruction and life are opposites; any lifeform faced with such a concentrated essence of destructive will would naturally be annihilated.

"Xu Ran, you deserve to die!"

Seeing Xu Ran so calm and collected, a deep sense of shame flooded the Destruction God's heart.

"Xiao Zi, stop fighting; you're no match for Xu Ran."

A fragrance wafted through the air as the Life Goddess arrived beside Xu Ran.

"Xiao Lü, you and Xu Ran…" Upon seeing the familiar silhouette, the violent aura surging around the Destruction God seemed to be soothed and calmed down. But seeing the Life Goddess standing with Xu Ran, his heart bled.

Why did he have to hand over the woman he loved to someone else?

Is the Destruction God truly worthless?

To do something even a worthless person would do, what else could that be, if not worthless?

"Xu Ran and I are truly in love with each other. And Xu Ran didn't threaten me like you think; I'm doing this on my own will," the Life Goddess said seriously, holding Xu Ran's hand.

"Why? Why do you do this to me? Haven't I been good enough to you?"

Pain filled the Destruction God's face.

"It's not about being good enough. Xiao Zi, you should know, there is no future for us together," the Life Goddess sighed, "If you're willing to join our camp, maybe…"

"Impossible!"

"I would rather die than help Xu Ran!"

"I will kill Xu Ran and then take you back. You are mine, and you will always only be mine! If anyone dares to take you, I will kill them!" The Destruction God's eyes turned crimson as he proclaimed.

In his view, as long as he had enough power and killed Xu Ran, everything would return to how it once was!

Moreover, there were many secrets within Xu Ran, and if he could obtain the secrets from Xu Ran, perhaps he, too, could do anything with Xiao Lü, just like Xu Ran could.

To work with the man who stole his lover? Hah, that was impossible!

"Xiao Zi…"

"Don't call me. Wait till I kill Xu Ran; then you'll know who the most powerful man in this world is!"

"Heaven and Earth Obliterate!"

The Destruction God was like a man possessed, with all the purple light on his body blazing, emitting a brightness that forced everyone to close their eyes involuntarily.

"This is bad!"

"Tree of Life!"

The Life Goddess's rich Life Divine Power bloomed, scattering countless green energy spots around Tiandou City and its vicinity.

Meanwhile, Xu Ran drew his sword, with numerous attributes gathering together, and slashed towards the Destruction God.

"Boom!"

The entire sky seemed to be torn apart as a massive black hole appeared, twisting and destroying any living being's breath of life.

"Destruction, go quickly. Once we get back to the Divine Realm, we'll discuss how to deal with Xu Ran. As long as we can take control of the Spiritual Center, we can surely suppress Xu Ran. Then we'll tear him to pieces," said the Evil God in a black robe, arriving at that moment.

Seeing what was unfolding before his eyes, the Evil God's pupils contracted.

He realized what Tang San was afraid of: Xu Ran's power was much stronger than they had imagined. The Destruction God couldn't withstand this super divine technique without getting seriously injured, yet Xu Ran did, and though he was also lightly injured, the severity was irrelevant. The defensive armor on Xu Ran could withstand most attacks. Although they each possessed a Divine Artifact, those were weapons! They didn't have Divine Artifact-level armor.
