Soul Tools: Can They Slay Gods?

[After a long while, the blinding light of the explosion slowly faded.

Where Tang San's divine-sense avatar had originally stood, a small golden crystal of divine sense remained, floating in midair and emitting a golden glow.

Di Tian's gaze sharpened. He extended his hand, and the divine-sense crystal flew into his palm on its own.

Just as Di Tian was examining the fragment of divine sense, Tang San's unwilling voice, suppressed by pain, rang out between heaven and earth.

"Di Tian! If you want to revive the soul beasts, I won't stop you."

"But if you dare lay a hand on Shrek, don't blame me for disregarding the rules of the God Realm and descending in person!"

On the surface, Tang San's words suggested that he was worried Di Tian would retaliate against Shrek, humanity's sacred ground.

But in truth, he was merely worried that the child of fortune was still at Shrek.

If Shrek were destroyed by Di Tian, it would inevitably affect his grand plan spanning ten thousand years.

Di Tian ignored Tang San's threat and turned to fly away.

For the rise of soul beasts, Shrek would definitely be the first sacrifice to their banner!

How could he possibly let it go?!

Meanwhile, Tang San in the God Realm was not faring well.

He clutched his aching forehead. Having a small portion of his divine sense forcibly taken away was difficult for even him to bear.

"Tang San! You're interfering with the lower realm again!"

The voice arrived before its owner did.

Tang San's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this.

Clearly, when he had transmitted divine power to his divine-sense avatar in the lower realm to bolster its strength, the God of Destruction had caught him red-handed.]

Outside the Sky Screen, in the main hall of the Body Sect.

As the god-level battle on the Sky Screen, one far beyond ordinary understanding, came to an end, the experts in the hall could no longer remain seated.

Jin Peng, the Level 96 Golden Body Douluo and the strongest member of the Body Sect beneath Sect Master Du Busi, was the first to speak. Excitement filled his voice despite his efforts to suppress it.

"Sect Master, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has not only Immortal Herbs, but also Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and even a divine-sense avatar left behind by the Sea God ten thousand years ago!"

He paused, an unconcealable desire appearing in his eyes.

"Once we successfully secure the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, perhaps we can send some of the sect's talented disciples there to try their luck."

"If even one of them catches the Sea God's eye and receives a godhood, our Body Sect will have a deity of its own!"

Du Busi glanced at him without speaking immediately.

Jin Peng was a capable veteran who had followed him for many years, so Du Busi knew perfectly well what Jin Peng was plotting.

What "talented disciple receiving a godhood inheritance"?

That "talented disciple" would probably have to become a "talented vice sect master" or "talented elder," wouldn't it?

Still, speaking of talented disciples.

Du Busi calmly swept his gaze over everyone present before it finally settled on Long Aotian.

Once Jin Peng had spoken, the elders present could not help revealing fervent expressions. Their eyes gleamed, clearly showing that their thoughts had begun to stir.

As for Long Aotian, whatever he might have been thinking, at least his expression did not change. He still looked as steady as a mountain.

Du Busi nodded to himself in satisfaction.

However, he had no intention of reprimanding the elders for their thoughts.

After all, that was a god!

A realm countless times harder to reach than Level 99 Limit Douluo!

The ultimate goal that countless soul masters did not even dare dream of!

"We'll discuss this after we successfully defend the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Du Busi spoke, suppressing the commotion in the hall.

"Never mind godhood inheritances and the Dragon Vein. The Immortal Herbs and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts alone are enough to trigger a bloody battle in Sunset Forest."

With that, he turned to Wei Na.

"Wei Na, contact the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family first. We need to discuss the defensive arrangements for Sunset Forest and Heaven Dou City."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Wei Na nodded without saying more. She left the hall with Long Aotian and headed toward Heaven Dou City. The two figures soon vanished beyond the horizon.

Clear Sky Sect.

Tai Tan watched Tang San appear on the Sky Screen and battle Di Tian, only to be defeated in the end. His face was filled with disbelief.

"How is that possible?! How could Di Tian be so strong?!"

"Tang San is a God King! Di Tian only just became God Level, so how could he possibly be Tang San's opponent?!"

Niu Tian beside him also frowned deeply.

Although Tang San's thoughts on the Sky Screen had just revealed that he was merely a divine-sense avatar with strength comparable to an upper-tier Second-Level God, while Di Tian had reached the power level of a First-Level God.

In terms of using divine skills and god-level combat experience, Di Tian was far inferior to Tang San.

Tang San could have won completely through the techniques he excelled at most.

Defeating the strong while weak.

They knew better than anyone how profound Tang San's attainments were in that regard.

Yet even Tang San like that had been defeated by Di Tian?

After pondering for a moment, Niu Tian slowly said, "Relax. Tang San was constrained by the rules of the God Realm, so he only used the strength of a First-Level God at the end of this battle."

"But if Tang San descends in person, the strength of a God King isn't something a mere First-Level God can contend with."

Sun Moon Empire, imperial palace.

Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair, his eyes slightly narrowed.

From beginning to end, he stared fixedly at the earth-shattering god-level battle on the Sky Screen, not daring to look away for even a moment.

His hand trembled slightly, and his heart was far from calm.

So this was a god?

He subconsciously gripped the wheelchair's armrest tightly.

What if god-level experts stand in my way when I launch my future war to unify the continent?

As he thought about it, the figure Di Tian had seen in the Sky Screen earlier—the person who became a god, someone even Di Tian could not stop—naturally surfaced in his mind.

Ten shots... no, if someone took a hundred Level 9 Soul Guidance Cannon blasts head-on, would that be enough to kill a god?

Xu Tianran continuously simulated possibilities in his mind. All sorts of tactics and ideas flashed past rapidly, but the more he thought, the less certain he became.

Before he realized it, he had already crushed the wheelchair's armrest out of shape.

No. I have to strike first!

His eyes sharpened, and a trace of viciousness flashed through them as he waved over a guard.

"Pass down the order. Put a bounty on the person who became a god in the recording Soul Tool from before. Kill on sight once they are found!"

"Yes!"

The guard answered and hurried away.

Offering Hall.

Kong Deming sat before his workbench.

The design blueprints for the continent's first Level 10 Soul Tool were spread out before him, yet he could not focus no matter how hard he tried.

The scene of that god-level battle on the Sky Screen lingered stubbornly in his mind.

God Level... was actually this powerful.

Kong Deming raised his head and looked toward the Sky Screen, quietly pondering.

Could a Level 10 Soul Tool injure a god?

Could Soul Tools slay gods?

He was silent for a moment, then lowered his head, picked up his pen again, and began revising the blueprints.

Holy Spirit Cult.

In the darkness, Zhongli Wu sat in the seat of honor with his head lowered, saying nothing.

He recalled the golden figure on the Sky Screen holding a trident.

That Sea God... if I remember correctly, wasn't he a deity of Shrek?

His expression shifted uncertainly.

To him, the appearance of any deity was acceptable.

Except for the Angel God, who had appeared ten thousand years ago!

And Shrek's deities!

Shrek Academy had always been a thorn in the Holy Spirit Cult's side.

Although the other side might not yet know that they existed as an enemy.

Their operations throughout the former three nations of the Douluo Continent had been obstructed by Shrek at every turn!
