This world is a terrible cage, trapping all living beings within it.
To break free from the cage, one must break through to True Immortal. Although the Nine Ancestors of the Strange knew that breaking through to True Immortal in this world was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
But for the Nine Ancestors of the Strange, this was an absolute opportunity, because the Demon Ancestor had also arrived in this world and had fallen to the Mahayana stage.
They no longer had to worry about the Demon Ancestor's strength suppressing them.
It seemed these scattered memories were all that remained.
After shattering these fragmented memories, Yun Fan did not ponder them further, for with his current strength, thinking about them was useless.
Why not honestly break through, no, it should be to recover his peak strength.
Just then, Gonggong said excitedly to Yun Fan, "Master, I didn't expect you to still be alive after ten thousand years. My senior brother and I were so despairing at the time. If we hadn't been intercepted and killed by Pangu to help you, the outcome would have been different!"
Thinking of this, he was filled with pain.
Yun Fan said, "Do not dwell on it. At least I am still alive. As long as there is life, there is hope!"
Yes! As long as there is life, there is hope. Although Gonggong had sealed himself, he knew that one day, Master would once again dominate the Divine Realm.
Although neither of them could be considered Master's true disciples, Master had taught them a great deal. Without Master, they would not be where they are today.
From beginning to end, Master had only one true disciple, and that was the Queen Mother of the West.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked him, "Do you know where the Fire God is?"
Now that there was a Water God, Yun Fan sighed. His side had gained more strength, but if they could find the Fire God, his side would become the top lineup in the Divine Realm.
The Water God quickly replied, "I don't know. After that battle, Pangu the Great God communicated with heaven and earth and knocked us all unconscious! When I woke up, I was brought to the land of the Strange!"
"Then do you feel his presence?"
Yun Fan continued to ask the Water God. He would not give up unless absolutely necessary.
The Water God shook his head, "I can't feel him at all. But Master, you don't have to worry too much. Senior Brother is powerful and has immense vitality. He should still be alive!"
Yun Fan could only give up asking. In his opinion, the only way to know if the Fire God was still alive now was probably to find Pangu the Great God.
But this Great God was incredibly powerful. He did not want to face him, as even the two giants, the Fire God and the Water God, had been defeated by Pangu the Great God. Now, he probably couldn't withstand a single breath from him.
This was the most terrifying gap in reality.
Before Yun Fan and the Water God could exchange pleasantries.
However, at this moment, Athena said, "Someone has surrounded this place!"
"Who?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
Yun Fan was not surprised that someone had surrounded the place, as the recent battle had shaken the eight directions.
The closest Dragon God Hall must have discovered this place first.
As he had guessed, Athena said, "It's the Dragon God leading an army!"
"Hmph!"
The Water God coldly snorted, "He's just a defeated general. Master, you don't need to worry. With me here, I will make him bleed on this spot!"
This was the Water God's arrogance.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "But your strength..."
To be honest, the Water God's strength was indeed not optimistic at this point. He had only just broken free from the infection of the Strange.
His strength was definitely not at its peak.
The Water God said confidently, "Master, don't worry. Even though my strength has not recovered to its peak, dealing with a mere Dragon God is still not a problem!"
"Good!"
Yun Fan nodded. With the Water God's assurance, he was relieved.
Indeed, at this moment, the Dragon God arrived, with more than a dozen divine-level powerhouses behind him, but none of them were too strong.
His strongest War God was Athena, but she now belonged to Yun Fan's side.
"Athena, I finally found you!"
The Dragon God smiled playfully. "Did you think you could hide in the Anti-God Alliance and I wouldn't be able to do anything about you? Today, I will not only capture you but also annihilate the entire Anti-God Alliance."
The Dragon God had originally intended to persuade Athena to return, but after this calculation, he knew that Athena, with her personality, would never agree.
Therefore, he had no choice but to eliminate Athena. He had known Athena for over ten thousand years while she was under his command, and he naturally knew her potential.
If one day she broke through to become a giant and stood on equal footing with him, she would become his lifelong nemesis. Therefore, before Athena could grow, he had to eliminate her.
Seeing this, Athena coldly said, "Water God, if you hadn't come, you could have lived a little longer. But now that you're here, don't expect to leave alive!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Dragon God laughed wildly. "Athena, in my eyes, you don't seem like someone who likes to brag! Do you think you and the mere Anti-God Alliance can defeat me?"
It seemed the Dragon God did not know his identity, so he directly ignored him. However, Yun Fan was not angry.
After all, his strength had not yet grown, and his favorite thing to do was to keep a low profile.
A wave of pressure descended upon the Dragon God.
"Dragon God, you act atrociously in my Anti-God Alliance, do you not take me seriously?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon God felt a terrifying and familiar aura.
When he turned his gaze, his expression instantly changed.
Because the person speaking was someone he knew too well – the Water God, who was renowned throughout the Divine Realm.
Logically speaking, their strengths were on the same level, and there was no need to fear the Water God. But to him, the Water God was an insurmountable threshold.
Ten thousand years ago, he had been beaten by the Water God more than once.
The shadow of the Water God lingered from ten thousand years ago. He never expected the Water God to still be alive after all these years.
To him, this was an extremely devastating blow.
The Water God said, "Dragon God, let's settle our grievances today!"
If it were ten thousand years ago, he would probably have turned around and fled without a second thought. But now, he had a trace of ambition.
The Water God had been gone for ten thousand years, and he could feel that the Water God was in a weakened state. Coupled with his own arduous cultivation over the past ten thousand years.
He might have a chance to defeat the Water God.
As long as he defeated the Water God, it would be a great achievement when he met the Emperor again. Perhaps the Emperor would guide him on how to break through to his peak.
Therefore, at this moment, he also spoke with arrogance, "Water God, you are no longer the you of ten thousand years ago, and I am no longer the me of ten thousand years ago. I will avenge the humiliation of ten thousand years ago!"
With that, he took a step forward, signaling to the Water God that if he wanted to fight, he would fight, and he was not afraid of him!
Seeing this, the Water God said disdainfully, "Dragon God, I don't even know who gave you the courage to speak to me like this!"
"Very well, today I will let you know the gap between us. Ten thousand years ago, you were nothing in my eyes, and you are still nothing in my eyes now!"
"Arrogant!"
The Dragon God stopped talking nonsense and took the initiative to attack the Water God. At this moment, all boasts were superfluous. Only by fighting could one prove their true strength.
In an instant, the Dragon God transformed into a dragon and lunged at the Water God.
The Water God sneered and unleashed his peak power. The two began a world-shattering battle outside the Anti-God Alliance!
This battle was very novel for Yun Fan, as he had not yet witnessed a battle between giants in this lifetime.
For Athena, it was not so novel. Although she was the ruler of the Sea of Winter during the War of Gods and Demons.
She had not come to the Divine Realm and had not witnessed the power of peak Yun Fan, nor the Queen Mother of the West who had already ascended to immortality.
But she had participated in the War of the Gods, and naturally, she had witnessed its cruelty, fear, and despair.
In her eyes, the Dragon God was very strong, so strong that she felt powerless. She wondered if the Water God could subdue the Dragon God.
At this moment, the battle between the two sides had reached a fever pitch.
After a series of probing attacks, the Dragon God was certain that the Water God was no longer at his peak. After the exchange, the Water God was at most on par with him.
Therefore, he said playfully, "Water God, you've gotten worse over the past ten thousand years. Since you've been considered dead for ten thousand years in the eyes of the gods, I will completely kill you today!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Water God suddenly unleashed his peak combat power.
"Not good, how did he get stronger?"
The Dragon God had a bad premonition.
Indeed, in the next moment, the enraged Water God directly broke his shield and delivered a heavy blow to him.
"Puff!"
The Dragon God spat out blood and became extremely weak. He never expected the Water God to unleash such terrifying power.
This scene was eerily similar to how he was beaten ten thousand years ago.
"You... you're not supposed to be at your weakest stage?"
He looked at the Water God in disbelief. How could an opponent at his weakest stage injure him? Could it be that his arduous cultivation over the past ten thousand years was completely useless?
The Water God said disdainfully, "I told you, no matter when, you are nothing in my eyes."
"You will pay the price for your arrogance!"
The Dragon God was furious because his defeat by the Water God had been witnessed by everyone. Especially Athena, who had long heard of the Water God's strength, but never expected him to be so strong that he could easily subdue the Dragon God even in his weakest state.
At this moment, the Dragon God roared, "True Dragon Divine Power!"
In an instant, he communicated with his Great Dao power, which was the True Dragon Divine Power. The aura of the True Dragon swept across the entire Anti-God Alliance.
Even Yun Fan felt a suffocating force pressing down on him, making him unable to move.
After all, that was a giant-level powerhouse! No matter how glorious Yun Fan had been in the past, he was just a junior now.
Not only him, but the other gods also faced the same predicament. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Athena came to his side and broke through this pressure.
This pressure also affected Athena, but fortunately, Athena was only one step away from being a giant.
This pressure had no effect on her at all. One had to know that Athena was only one step away from becoming a giant. Su Dan Novel Network
Seeing this, the Water God did not act but said profoundly, "Dragon God, is this all the strength you have?"
The Dragon God was enraged upon hearing this.
He couldn't believe that even after unleashing his strongest True Dragon Divine Power, the Water God remained as calm as ever, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
He felt that he had never been so insulted.
At this moment, he said angrily to the Water God, "Water God, you will pay the price!"
"Price?"
The Water God said disdainfully, "It seems you still haven't recognized reality!"
With that, the Water God leaped up and flew into the void, engaging in a decisive battle with the Dragon God.
Although the Dragon God in his true form was incredibly powerful, his body was capable of crushing mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon.
But the Water God seemed to know his weakness. He struck the dragon's vital point, aiming for its vulnerable spot with every punch.
The Dragon God roared, wanting to swallow the Water God, but the Water God was too agile. He was like weak water, trapping him within it.
What followed was a one-sided beating. The Dragon God could not unleash his full strength within the domain of weak water.
Then he was beaten by the Water God countless times.
Helpless, the Dragon God could only revert to his human form to temporarily break free from the Water God's restraint.
The Water God said disdainfully, "Dragon God, it seems ten thousand years have not brought you any progress. You are no different from how you were ten thousand years ago!"
Ten thousand years ago, he had beaten the Dragon God like this. Ten thousand years later, he had expected the Dragon God to have made some progress, but the reality was that he was still being beaten.
The Dragon God was furious. To him, this was a disgrace.
He roared at the Water God, "Water God, you are too arrogant! You will pay for your arrogance!"
With that, he directly swallowed the sun and the moon. The True Dragon Divine Power was superimposed on his Dragon Pearl, and his strength reached its peak.
This was the limit of his power. At this point, he was almost at the pinnacle among the giants.
However, the Water God also invoked the power of weak water, demonstrating what true weak water truly was, and it was by no means the trash cultivation technique of the secular Shui family.
After all, the Water God was the creator of the three thousand streams of weak water.
Innumerable streams of weak water piled up and superimposed on the Dragon God.
The Dragon God felt his body was about to explode, as even a single drop of the three thousand streams of weak water could shatter mountains and rivers.
Now that it had formed a river, the Dragon God was bearing countless times the pressure and was on the verge of collapse.
Athena witnessed all of this.
"The Water God is not simple!"
She said directly.
Yun Fan asked, "Is the Dragon God going to be defeated next?"
"If the Water God wanted to crush him, he would have done so long ago, so the Water God is not simple. I feel like the Water God is waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion. With his strength, he naturally couldn't see the secrets of the game.
But Athena could, because she had already reached that height, so she could naturally see through it.
She said to Yun Fan, "The Water God is waiting for the power of the Dragon Pearl to condense to its peak before he can strip it away!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was startled. He never expected the Water God to have such an intention.
Athena continued, "The Dragon Pearl is extremely hard and cannot be refined. Therefore, he is not stripping the Dragon God of his Dragon Pearl for himself!"
"Could it be for me?"
"Perhaps you've guessed correctly."
