Fire God

God Realm, God Committee Hall.

Beneath the golden dome, the gods gathered once more.

Unlike the previous meeting, the atmosphere today was even more oppressive.

On the Sky Screen, those images continued to cycle; the soul beasts Bi Ji and Zi Ji had ascended the Combat Power Ranking one after another, their cultivation breaking through the million-year mark, bypassing the heavenly tribulation, and reaching god-level strength.

This meant that the iron law of the God Realm, "Soul beasts shall not become gods," had been broken.

Asura God sat upright on the main throne, his gaze sweeping across the gods present.

"Everyone, the operation for the god officials to descend to the Douluo Continent has failed. Through the Sky Screen, it is clear that soul beasts on the Douluo Continent have already become gods, and there is more than one. Now, if anyone has any suggestions, please put them forward."

The hall fell into silence; the news of the god officials' failure had already spread throughout the God Realm, and of the ten god officials, none had been spared.

The strength of that Brother Cao far exceeded expectations.

And now, even soul beasts had begun to break through the million-year limit; the implications behind this made every deity feel uneasy.

God of Destruction spoke first: "The God Realm and the Douluo Continent have completely lost contact; we can only continue to dispatch gods to the lower realm."

Fire God stood up abruptly, his flame-wreathed divine robe fluttering without wind: "I am willing to descend to the lower realm myself!"

Goddess of Life frowned slightly: "As a first-class god, isn't Fire God making a mountain out of a molehill?"

God of Goodness nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the soul beasts on the Douluo Continent have only just become gods; isn't this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Asura God waved his hand, interrupting their discussion: "Given that we currently have absolutely no intelligence on the Douluo Continent, I believe it is necessary to dispatch a first-class god to the lower realm."

"Fire God, you are to assemble your forces immediately and head to the Douluo Continent."

"As you command!" Fire God accepted the order and departed.

In the end, the God Realm decided to dispatch one first-class god, Fire God, three second-class gods, ten third-class gods, and ten god officials to the lower realm.

A total of twenty-four deities, in a grand and imposing manner, descended upon the Douluo Continent.

Star Dou Great Forest, Life Lake.

The sky was clear and the lake surface rippled with gentle waves.

Da Ming was coiled by the lakeside, while Er Ming was napping against a giant tree.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

A pressure that made the soul tremble descended from above.

Da Ming jerked his head up, his pupils contracting violently!

In the sky, twenty-four figures tore through the firmament like meteors, descending with a boom!

The leader wore crimson divine armor, his body wreathed in flames; it was none other than Fire God.

Behind him, three second-class gods, ten third-class gods, and ten god officials stood in rows on either side, their momentum like a rainbow.

The gods made no attempt to restrain their aura, and that terrifying pressure weighed down upon the Life Lake like a mountain.

Da Ming and Er Ming were so terrified by this pressure that their bodies went rigid; they could not even move.

Although they were the nominal overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, in front of these deities, they were not even worth as much as ants.

Fire God looked down condescendingly at the two shivering soul beasts, his voice indifferent: "Have you two ever seen the two million-year soul beasts on the Sky Screen?"

Da Ming forced himself to speak: "No... never seen them..."

Er Ming: "Me... same."

Fire God frowned slightly and asked no more; he raised his hand and gave a light wave.

A streak of crimson divine light flashed past, and the bodies of Da Ming and Er Ming froze instantly.

Then, like statues weathered for a thousand years, they turned into dust without a sound and drifted away with the wind.

There were no screams, no struggles; the two forest overlords were wiped out with a casual gesture.

The gods present remained expressionless, without a ripple of emotion.

During the War of the Dragon God, human deities suffered over fifty percent casualties, and their hatred for soul beasts was deep-rooted.

In their eyes, soul beasts were merely inferior creatures; killing them was nothing.

At the bottom of the Life Lake, in a hidden place.

Di Tian opened his eyes abruptly, his golden vertical pupils filled with gravity.

He had sensed those twenty-four terrifying auras the moment they descended.

"A powerful enemy," he said in a deep voice.

Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Red King, Yao Ling... all the fierce beasts looked up in unison, their expressions grave.

The pressure coming from above was many times stronger than that of the previous god officials.

"Go." Di Tian stood up, transformed into a streak of black light, and rushed toward the surface of the lake, with the other fierce beasts following closely behind.

Above the lake, twenty-four figures hovered, as imposing as a prison.

Di Tian stood upon the surface of the lake, his golden dragon pupils sweeping across the deities opposite him, his heart sinking.

Any one of them possessed terrifying pressure, and the aura of the one in the lead was even three parts stronger than the Master.

How could this battle be fought?

The Fire God looked at this group of fierce beasts, a curve of contempt hooking at the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand, and a divine official understood, stepping forward.

"Who will come to die?" The divine official's voice was arrogant and dismissive.

Di Tian took a deep breath and stepped forward.

The Dragon God Claw condensed, and he unleashed a full-force strike at the divine official!

"BOOM!!!"

The divine official retreated a step, his expression turning slightly grave, but he remained uninjured.

Di Tian, however, was shaken back several steps by the recoil, blood gushing from his right hand.

Bi Ji hurriedly stepped forward, the emerald light of life covering Di Tian's wound.

The divine official steadied himself and sneered, "Is that all?"

Seeing Di Tian injured, Zi Ji thought to herself that Di Tian truly could not keep up with the times.

She stepped forward, purple light surging brilliantly!

"Hell World-Extinguishing Claw!"

The divine official did not even have time to react before he was torn into fragments by the claw!

The Fire God raised an eyebrow slightly: "A bit interesting."

He waved his hand, and a third-class god stepped out.

Zi Ji and the third-class god clashed, the overflowing energy storm causing the surrounding giant trees to fly and the lake surface to churn with monstrous waves.

The Fire God waved his hand again, and the Phoenix God stepped out.

Zi Ji struggled to defend, but she gradually fell into a disadvantage; although her Hell World-Extinguishing Claw was strong, it was difficult to shake her opponent.

Seeing this, Bi Ji joined the fray, but the strength of a second-class god far exceeded that of a third-class god.

Bi Ji was not skilled in combat, and soon the two women were completely overwhelmed, beaten until they had no power to fight back.

"HUM!!!"

A silver light rose from the surface of the lake.

Within the silver light, a figure slowly emerged.

She had a slender build, silver hair cascading down to her ankles, and clear, translucent purple eyes; it was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

Terrifying pressure, like an ancient fierce beast awakening from its slumber, descended with a roar!

The Phoenix God's pupils contracted sharply, and he prepared to retreat.

Gu Yuena raised her hand and tapped lightly.

A silver light flashed past, and the Phoenix God's body instantly froze.

Then, like shattered glass, he turned into countless points of light and dissipated into nothingness.

Instant kill!

The Fire God's expression finally changed; the Phoenix God was a capable subordinate of his, and he had fallen just like that.

He stepped forward violently, his fire divine robe burning fiercely: "How bold!"

Gu Yuena looked at him, her expression devoid of ripples.

The Fire God struck.

The full-force blow of a first-class god was enough to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth!

Gu Yuena raised her hand again, silver light colliding with flames!

"BOOM!!!"

The heavens and earth lost their color, and space collapsed.

When the light faded, the Fire God's figure had vanished, leaving only a wisp of residual divine fire swaying in the wind before it extinguished.

Gu Yuena withdrew her hand and looked at the remaining gods; her cold gaze made all the deities feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Run!" Someone shouted, and the gods scattered in all directions.

Silver light spilled out once more, covering the sky and earth.

One, two, three... with every fall of silver light, a deity fell.

In the blink of an eye, all twenty-four deities were wiped out.

The surface of the lake returned to calm.

Gu Yuena stood with her hands behind her back, her silver hair fluttering gently in the wind.

Behind her, Di Tian, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun... all the fierce beasts knelt in unison, not daring to lift their heads.

"The Master is mighty!"
