A God Ashamed of Himself

On the Star Extremity Battleship, Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong stared at each other, their faces etched with lingering fear and trepidation.

Just a moment ago, they truly felt as though they were about to die. That terrifying pressure was like an ant facing a deity; they were completely powerless to resist, and even breathing felt like an impossible luxury.

Fortunately, this pressure came as quickly as it went. It did not last long, receding like a tide before they could be completely crushed.

"I originally thought I had already overestimated the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated it by far too much."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sigh.

She had previously thought that Zhao Xiao, who could destroy a mountain range with a single punch, was already an absolute powerhouse. She never imagined that at the level of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Zhao Xiao was nothing more than a small fry. To say nothing else, that terrifying pressure from just a moment ago, which made every cell in her body tremble, was definitely far beyond Zhao Xiao's level by an unknown number of tiers.

It was a dimensional gap, and its intensity likely exceeded the limits of her imagination.

"Indeed, the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands is simply too terrifying. I even suspect that any random cultivator in the Hole Heaven Realm from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands could punch through the legendary God Realm of the Douluo Continent."

"That's what I was thinking, too. Although I don't know how strong the legendary God Realm actually is, I do know how strong the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands are—they are just too powerful. And that's not even considering that there are existences as terrifyingly boundless as that one."

In the Douluo Continent's God Realm, the gods who had just managed to force back the Chaotic Energy heard the bitter self-deprecation of Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue, and all of their old faces flushed red.

They could guarantee that, let alone a cultivator in the Hole Heaven Realm, even for a slightly stronger Blood Transporting Realm cultivator, eighty percent of the gods would be no match for them!

If it were those Nine Heavens and Ten Lands cultivators who had reached the pinnacle of the Blood Transporting Realm, the Five God Kings might even have to take a detour!

"I didn't think much of it before, but now I realize that our God Realm's gods are actually so weak."

The Earth God rubbed his chin, his face filled with a wry smile.

As one of the few First-Class Gods in the God Realm, he had once been so proud of his formidable power, until the Mysterious Land descended...

"Yes, really so weak. Our world is truly too weak."

Beside the Earth God were two unnamed Second-Class Gods. Under normal circumstances, they would have taken the Earth God's words as a joke, but now...

They truly couldn't muster any motivation at all!

"Think back to the beginning; we cultivated step by step until we reached level 100 and became gods. Who would have thought that our finish line would only be equivalent to the starting point of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands."

The Fire God also sighed, having completely lost his usual explosive temper. He raised his hand, looking at the divine power gathering and dispersing in his palm, filled with deep emotion.

He was the head of the Seven Elemental Gods, the one with the strongest combat strength among them, and the pinnacle of First-Class Gods. Yet, he dared not say that his attack power was necessarily stronger than a Blood Transporting Realm cultivator from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Don't look at the performance in the two worlds; his destructive power far exceeded that of a Blood Transporting Realm or even a Hole Heaven Realm cultivator from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. But don't forget that the world of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands is exceptionally sturdy. Before, the level 99 Peerless Douluo Tang Chen, without the baptism of the Heaven and Earth Essence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, couldn't even cut a single blade of grass with all his might. After experiencing the baptism, although his strength was inferior to his own, he was at least equivalent to a Second-Class God with a Soul Power Level of 120 to 130. While he could cut a blade of grass, when facing something as hard as stone, his full-force attack could only leave a white mark.

As for now...

The Fire God glanced at Tang Chen, who was currently on his way, and sighed softly.

He really might not be a match for Tang Chen, who had cultivated the techniques of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

It really is absurd when you think about it. After a million years of cultivation, I finally attained my current strength, only to find it inferior to the power a level 99 Peerless Douluo gained from a few fortuitous encounters in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

"Sigh, fortune plays tricks on us..."

The Five God Kings were well aware of the frustration felt by the gods below, but there was nothing they could do.

The gap between the two sides was simply too vast—so vast that there was absolutely no possibility of a comeback.

"Tell me, if we were to head to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and undergo the baptism of the Heaven and Earth Essence there, how much would our strength improve?"

As the ceiling of combat strength in the God Realm, the Asura God had always been keen on power. He had been wondering: if soul masters from the Douluo Continent received a baptism and gained massive power boosts after entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, then how much would God Kings like them, with soul power levels exceeding 150, improve?

Would they jump straight to a level comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm, or perhaps even the Inscription Realm?

"I suppose at the very least it would be equivalent to the Spirit Transformation Realm, right? But it seems our God Realm is not currently valued by the person behind the Light Screen."

The Goddess of Life pondered for a moment before stating her speculation.

"Alas, it's a pity. I wonder what the person behind the Light Screen is thinking. Why not select gods from the God Realm to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands? If the gods of the God Realm entered, the situation would surely be better than it is now, right?"

"I have a question. Since the other party selects 'Chosen Ones' from the Douluo Continent, do you think that if we entered the Douluo Continent, we might also be selected?"

!!!

That makes sense!

It makes perfect sense!

"It seems there is a need to pay a visit to the Douluo Continent!"

In the ruins of the Green Country Imperial City, Chu Xi was busy brainwashing Yun Xi, using vivid language to illustrate just how powerful and terrifying the Immortal King Chu Clan was.

Just as he reached the peak of his excitement, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, his scalp went numb, and goosebumps broke out all over his body.

This feeling... no... it can't be, right? I've already fled to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and to be safe, I even specifically came to the Eight Regions...

Yun Xi, who had been silently listening to Chu Xi's brainwashing, froze for a moment. She looked strangely at the little lolita before her—who usually feared nothing—not understanding why she had suddenly become so terrified, with undisguised fear written all over her small face.

Fortunately, he soon found out why Chu Xi was afraid.

Rumble!

Thunderous sounds echoed throughout the entire Green Country Imperial City. Countless citizens of the Green Country, who were weeping amidst the ruins, instinctively looked up at the sky.

The next moment, a figure wrapped in immortal energy stood proudly in the firmament, looking down at all beings with the cold indifference of an ancient True God.

Even standing there, motionless and silent, that terrifying, monstrous aura made the very stars tremble!

In the Douluo Continent, having just experienced a terrifying, near-apocalyptic disaster, everyone was busy with disaster relief or licking their wounds. Even when the Light Screen overhead unfurled once more, not many people paid it any mind.

But when this figure appeared, people's gazes were still involuntarily drawn to it.

Even if they didn't understand, they could clearly feel that this was a being of an entirely different concept compared to ordinary creatures!

However, when this figure saw Chu Xi, a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Xiao Xixi, long time no see. Come, let Auntie give you a hug and see how much weight you've put on lately."
