Tang San's forbidden power reverses the battlefield situation.

With the Shadow Killing God slain, the remnants of the Old Era Allied Army were once again defeated, but Xiao Ling did not give up. Continuous failures had driven him completely insane. He knew that the gap between his strength and Su Chen's was growing, and to defeat Su Chen, he could only use the forbidden power within the god realm token—summoning the remnant soul of the Asura God to possess him, at the cost of burning a portion of his divine soul, to gain combat power far exceeding his current level.

In a hidden valley, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged, the god realm token in his hand emitting a dense black light, with the God Realm Runes on it flickering with an eerie glow. His face was covered in grotesque patterns, his eyes were crazed and twisted, and a faint blood-colored spirit power swirled around him. "Su Chen, The women, even if I burn my divine soul, I will utterly destroy you all!"

He raised his hand and pressed the god realm token to his glabella. The black light from the token surged into his body, merging with his divine soul and divine force. "With my divine soul as a guide, I summon the Asura remnant soul to descend to the mortal world and destroy the God Defier!"

Xiao Ling's voice was filled with hysterical madness. His body began to tremble violently, veins bulging beneath his skin. Blood-colored spirit power and black God Realm divine force intertwined, forming a massive energy vortex. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and a terrifying pressure emanated from the energy vortex, causing the entire valley to shake violently.

A moment later, a gigantic blood-colored figure slowly emerged from the energy vortex. The figure was a hundred zhang tall, holding a massive Asura Demon Sword, surrounded by a dense aura of killing intent. It was indeed the remnant soul of the Asura God. The remnant soul's eyes were cold and cruel as it scanned Xiao Ling below, its voice like thunder: "Mortal, you summon me, what do you seek?"

"Great Lord Asura God, I am willing to sacrifice a portion of my divine soul. I humbly request you to possess me and help me destroy the God Defier Su Chen and his The women!" Xiao Ling's voice was filled with humble pleading, yet his eyes flickered with a crazed light.

The Asura God remnant soul sneered, its blood-colored gaze sweeping over Xiao Ling: "God Defier? Interesting. I can possess you, but your divine soul will become my vessel. After the battle, you will lose a portion of your sanity and be influenced by my remnant soul forever."

"I am willing!" Xiao Ling agreed without hesitation. As long as he could destroy Su Chen and The women, he was willing to pay any price.

The Asura God remnant soul nodded and transformed into a blood-colored stream of light, surging into Xiao Ling's body. Xiao Ling's body instantly swelled, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall giant, surrounded by a blood-colored aura of killing intent. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand also evolved into the Asura Demon Sword, exuding world-destroying power. His eyes became even colder and more cruel, having lost a portion of his sanity, leaving only the desire to destroy everything.

"Su Chen, The women, prepare to die!"

Xiao Ling's voice, like thunder, echoed through the valley. He transformed into a blood-colored stream of light and charged towards the Nishen Legion's camp, his speed far exceeding his previous limit. The mountains along his path were easily shattered, leaving a bottomless gully in the ground.

At this moment, in the Nishen Legion's camp, Su Chen was helping Zhuqing sort out her Shadow Power, assisting her in better controlling her latent abilities after the sacrifice. The women were also cultivating, improving their strength. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, causing the entire camp to tremble violently, and the flames of the bonfire were almost extinguished.

"No! This aura... it's the Asura God remnant soul!" Su Chen's expression changed drastically. His Nishen Myriad Year Will erupted completely, black spirit power intertwining with golden patterns, forming a massive defensive barrier. "Xiao Ling actually summoned the Asura God remnant soul to possess him!"

The women also felt this terrifying pressure, and their faces turned pale. Qian Renxue's Angel Wings spread out, and her golden light shield expanded again: "This power is too strong, even stronger than the three main gods combined from before!"

"Brother Su Chen, what should we do?" Xiao Wu's consciousness echoed in Su Chen's sea of consciousness, with a hint of worry.

Su Chen frowned, his eyes firm: "Everyone, don't panic! Although the Asura God remnant soul is powerful, it is only a remnant soul, and Xiao Ling's divine soul cannot fully bear it, so there must be a flaw. Rongrong, give everyone the maximum buff; Yun Yun, Xiao Xun Er, use Wind Blade and Phoenix Fire to restrain him; Zhuqing, go into hiding and look for a flaw; everyone else, defend with all your might and protect the camp!"

"Understood!" The women responded in unison, immediately taking action.

Ning Rongrong's nishen nine treasure glazed tile pagoda erupted with dazzling golden light, releasing six enhancement lights simultaneously, boosting The women's combat power in all aspects: strength, speed, defense, accuracy, spirit power, and resistance. Yun Yun's azure Wind Blades condensed into a massive wind dragon, and Xiao Xun Er's Colored Phoenix Fire transformed into a colossal phoenix phantom. The wind dragon and phoenix intertwined, charging towards Xiao Ling.

Zhu Zhuqing's body once again merged into the shadows, lurking around the camp, her God-Defying Byakugan tightly locked onto Xiao Ling's figure, searching for his weakness. Qian Renxue's Angel Light Shield, Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass barrier, Medusa's Petrification Light, Zi Yan's Dragon Phoenix Fire—layers of defense and attack intertwined, forming a solid defensive line.

However, the Asura God remnant soul summoned by Xiao Ling was simply too powerful. With a swing of his Asura Demon Sword, the blood-colored sword light shattered the wind dragon and phoenix, smashing towards The women's defensive line. "Boom!" With a loud bang, the defensive line instantly collapsed. Qian Renxue's Angel Light Shield was covered in cracks, Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass was largely severed, and Yun Yun and Xiao Xun Er were sent flying, blood spilling from their mouths.

"Pathetic!" Xiao Ling's voice was cold and cruel. The Asura Demon Sword swung again, and a blood-colored sword light slashed towards Su Chen.

Su Chen's god-defying longsword swung, black spirit power intertwining with his golden Myriad Year Will, blocking the blood-colored sword light. With a loud "clang," Su Chen was sent reeling backward, a sharp pain shooting through his arm, his tiger's mouth cracking and bleeding profusely. He could feel that the power of the Asura God remnant soul far exceeded his expectations. Although his Nishen Myriad Year Will could barely resist, it was consuming an enormous amount of energy.

"Su Chen, your God-Defying Power is nothing before me!" Xiao Ling's figure flashed, appearing before Su Chen. The Asura Demon Sword thrust out again, aiming directly at Su Chen's glabella.

"Brother Su Chen!" Xiao Wu's voice rang out, and pink and black Soft Bone Power erupted from within Su Chen, forming a barrier that blocked the Asura Demon Sword's attack. At the same time, with the augmentation of the Soft Bone Power, Su Chen's figure became more agile, allowing him to evade Xiao Ling's subsequent attacks.

Zhu Zhuqing, lurking in the shadows, finally caught Xiao Ling's flaw with her God-Defying Byakugan—the fusion of the Asura God remnant soul and Xiao Ling's divine soul was imperfect. At the moment he launched a powerful attack, his divine soul would experience a brief disruption. "Su Chen, Xiao Ling's flaw is that his divine soul becomes chaotic the moment he attacks!"

Su Chen immediately understood, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. His God-Defying Power, Myriad Year Will, and Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Power erupted simultaneously, a black and white intertwined light surging, bringing the power of his god-defying longsword to its peak. "Xiao Ling, prepare to die!"

Su Chen's figure transformed into a stream of light, charging towards Xiao Ling, his god-defying longsword aimed directly at his divine soul core. Seeing this, Xiao Ling sneered, swinging the Asura Demon Sword, and the blood-colored sword light slashed out again. Just as the sword light was about to hit Su Chen, Xiao Ling's divine soul indeed experienced a brief disruption, and his attack deviated slightly.

Su Chen seized this opportunity, abruptly sidestepping to avoid the blood-colored sword light, and plunged his god-defying longsword fiercely into Xiao Ling's divine soul core. "Pfft!"

Xiao Ling's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes filled with unbelievable pain. He could feel his divine soul being torn apart by the God-Defying Power, and the Asura God remnant soul's power also began to destabilize. "No! I refuse to accept this!"

The Asura God remnant soul sensed danger and tried to escape Xiao Ling's body, but it was tightly entangled by Su Chen's God-Defying Power. Su Chen's Nishen Myriad Year Will erupted, and golden patterns surged into Xiao Ling's body, completely locking down the Asura God remnant soul. "Zhuqing, now!"

Zhu Zhuqing, lurking in the shadows, immediately responded. Black Shadow Power condensed into a sharp Shadow Blade, piercing into Xiao Ling's divine soul core from behind once more. "Pfft!"

Under the double strike, Xiao Ling's divine soul completely collapsed. The Asura God remnant soul let out a mournful shriek, transforming into a blood-colored speck of light and dissipating into the air. Xiao Ling's body slowly shrank, returning to its original form, his eyes becoming hollow, and his divine force completely vanished.

He looked at Su Chen, a tragic smile on his lips: "Su Chen, I still lost... but the God Realm won't let you off... you ultimately... can't escape..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Ling's body slumped to the ground, falling into a coma. Although he didn't die, his divine soul was severely damaged, losing most of its power and sanity, and he could no longer pose a threat.

The women gathered around, their faces filled with exhaustion, but also with victorious smiles. "Brother Su Chen, we won!" Xiao Wu's consciousness resonated in Su Chen's sea of consciousness, filled with relief.

Su Chen nodded, but there was no hint of relaxation in his eyes: "Although Xiao Ling is in a coma, the threat from the God Realm has not been removed. He was right just now, the God Realm won't let us off, and a greater crisis still lies ahead."

He looked at the unconscious Xiao Ling, without a trace of pity in his heart. This person, consumed by jealousy and ambition, ultimately paid the price for his actions. The remnants of the old era also completely disintegrated with Xiao Ling's coma.

The bonfire in the camp rekindled, its light illuminating everyone's faces. Su Chen knew that the victory of this battle was inseparable from the bonds of The women, from Xiao Wu's symbiosis, and Zhu Zhuqing's stealth. But he also understood that this was only a phased victory on the path of nishen; the real challenge came from the God Realm itself.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes firm: "God Realm, no matter how many Enforcers you send, no matter how powerful you are, I, Su Chen, together with The women, will break your shackles and truly bring freedom to the Douluo Continent!"
