Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu Arrives at the Forbidden Zone of Life
"You..." A Nan struggled, but could not break free.
"Unless you summon your divine artifact, you can't stop me," Gu Yuena said calmly.
A Nan stared at her for two seconds, then threw back his head and laughed.
"In that case, I'll grant your wish!"
The moment he finished speaking, A Nan's presence changed abruptly.
In the distance, the seventh of the seventy-two Demon God Pillars trembled slightly. Dark red patterns lit up across its surface, joining into one.
Yet no matter how A Nan called upon the Demon God Pillar, it failed to descend.
"What's going on?"
"Something seems to be suppressing the Demon God Pillar?"
A Nan frowned slightly. It was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
"What?" Gu Yuena's tone remained even.
"Could it be that those pillars can't move?"
A Nan snorted coldly.
"So what if I don't have my Demon God Pillar? I'm still not afraid."
"In that case, the penalty for trespassing in the Forbidden Zone of Life is death!"
Gu Yuena spoke in a level tone, but her killing intent was fierce.
Just as she was about to use her Super Divine Artifact, the Silver Dragon Spear, to take down A Nan-
A massive spatial rift tore open above the Lake of Life. Fragments of space crackled as they fell from its edges.
An ancient, powerful dragon pressure seeped from the rift, making the legs of every Soul Beast present go weak.
Even Gu Yuena felt a jolt of alarm!
"A dragon?!"
"There's actually a dragon bloodline stronger and purer than our lord's?!"
"Could it be Lord Dragon God?"
"No, that's definitely not Lord Dragon God!"
Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts were stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
A foot clad in a purple-gold boot stepped out of the rift and onto the void, shattering the space beneath it into a web of cracks like broken glass.
Then came a second step, and a third. Every step shattered another patch of space.
A figure in purple emerged from the rift, black hair hanging down his back. His face was cold and stern as his gaze swept over everyone below.
Feng Xiu spoke calmly. "What are you planning to do to my subordinate?"
The moment he finished speaking, seventy rifts opened in the void at once.
Seventy figures emerged from the rifts-tall and short, fat and thin, each with a fiercer presence than the last. In the blink of an eye, they had completely surrounded the Forbidden Zone of Life.
Moon Demon God Agares and Star Demon God Vasak stood half a step behind Feng Xiu, one on either side, looking down with folded arms.
Gu Yuena's expression changed instantly.
Di Tian's pupils contracted, and he instinctively stepped in front of Gu Yuena.
Xiong Jun opened his mouth, then lost his nerve as well.
Gu Yuena fell silent for two seconds, then looked up at Feng Xiu, her voice a little tenser than before.
"...Who are you?"
Feng Xiu did not look at her. His gaze fell on A Nan, whom Gu Yuena was holding down, and his lips moved. "A Nan."
A Nan lowered his head and spoke respectfully. "Your Majesty, I was incompetent and troubled you to come."
"It's nothing." Feng Xiu's tone was calm. Only then did he turn his gaze to Gu Yuena.
"My subordinate acted thoughtlessly and came out here to cause trouble. I apologize on his behalf. However..."
He paused. His purple eyes showed little emotion, but his pressure grew heavier.
"How dare you ants lay a hand on what belongs to a demon god!"
Feng Xiu raised a hand and pressed it forward.
There was nothing fancy about the move. It was a simple press of his palm.
The Spiritual Power around them went berserk.
Gu Yuena's expression changed. The Silver Dragon Spear formed before her, and she met the palm strike head-on.
The two forces collided, and Gu Yuena was forced back.
"Interesting," Feng Xiu said flatly.
"As expected of a Super Divine Artifact."
With that, Feng Xiu took another step forward. As his foot came down, space throughout the Forbidden Zone of Life sank.
Di Tian, Xiong Jun, Myriad Demon King, Scarlet King, Bi Ji, Sky Azure Bull Python, and Titan Giant Ape were all forced to their knees at once.
Their knees slammed into the ground, sweat beaded on their foreheads, and they could not even lift their heads.
Xiong Jun refused to yield and gritted his teeth, trying to push himself up.
"Damn it!"
Without even looking at him, Feng Xiu increased the pressure. Xiong Jun fell flat on the ground, his face pressed into the dirt.
Gu Yuena's face turned pale. She stared at Feng Xiu. "You aren't from this world. What exactly is your purpose in coming here?!"
Feng Xiu withdrew his hand and placed it behind his back, his purple eyes showing little emotion.
"I have no particular interest in this place of yours."
"But you... Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, you interest me a little."
Gu Yuena's pupils contracted. "How do you know who I am?!"
Feng Xiu spoke casually.
He was actually a transmigrator who had become Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, leader of the seventy-two pillar demon gods.
Only, this was not the Holy Demon Continent, but the Douluo Continent.
"I know a thing or two about what goes on in this place of yours. After the Dragon God fell, he split in two. The Golden Dragon King was suppressed in the Douluo God Realm, and the Silver Dragon King fled into the Star Dou Great Forest and raised a group of Ferocious Beasts as her followers. That's you, isn't it?"
Gu Yuena fell silent for two seconds but did not deny it.
"A pity you're a love-brain," Feng Xiu said calmly.
"Enough. I have no patience for more nonsense. I intend to leave none of you alive."
He raised his hand, and dark purple light gathered in his palm.
"Annihilation's..."
Gu Yuena's pupils contracted sharply, and she thrust the phantom image of the Silver Dragon Spear forward.
Just then, a pillar of golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Feng Xiu precisely.
Feng Xiu's expression changed.
Agares and Vassago looked up at the same time, then exchanged a glance. Each saw the same thing in the other's eyes.
"This presence..." Agares's voice was a little strained.
Vassago closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment. When he opened them again, his expression was grim.
"God of Creation!"
The surrounding demon gods all froze, and a commotion followed.
"God of Creation? Is that really true?"
"The one from the Holy Demon Continent?"
"Silence!" Agares turned and ordered them quiet. The demon gods fell silent, but could not hide the shock on their faces.
Feng Xiu stood inside the golden pillar of light and tried to raise his hand, but could not move it.
He did not force the issue. Instead, he relaxed and looked up toward the source of the light, his tone so level that neither joy nor anger could be heard. "What is the meaning of this?"
There was no response.
The pillar of light simply enveloped him, trapping him.
Baimon stood nearby, looking worried. "Your Majesty!"
"Don't move," Feng Xiu said without turning.
"None of you move."
Agares took half a step forward. "Big brother!"
"I said, none of you come any closer." Feng Xiu did not speak harshly, but Agares stopped at once.
Gu Yuena watched from across from them and slowly put away the Silver Dragon Spear.
She glanced at the golden pillar of light, then at Feng Xiu, and suddenly said, "It seems the god of your world doesn't welcome you either."
Feng Xiu glanced at her. "Keep your snide remarks to yourself."
Gu Yuena did not answer, but her lips twitched. She actually seemed a little pleased by his misfortune.
Feng Xiu looked away and glanced up at the pillar of light again. This time, his voice carried a trace of impatience.
"God of Creation, is it? I should have guessed when I transmigrated here. You threw me and the seventy-two pillar demon gods onto this Douluo Continent together, and now you're stopping me. What exactly do you mean by this?!"
