Is That All?

"Last time, I let you go. This time, you delivered yourselves right to my door."

Xia Liang's voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it carried an overwhelming pressure.

The moment Niu Tian heard the voice beside him and felt the immense pressure bearing down on him, he knew that Xia Liang's strength was far beyond what the two of them could handle.

Next, Niu Tian activated one of the methods they had planned.

An invisible barrier rose around the three of them, its edges gleaming with a faint silver light. Like a transparent dome, it enclosed Xia Liang, Niu Tian, and Titan within.

Space briefly distorted inside the barrier.

"Spatial teleportation?"

Xia Liang sensed the spatial ripples continuously pressing in around him. The power of space was trying to move him away.

However, although that spatial power kept squeezing against Xia Liang's defenses, no matter how hard it tried, it could not penetrate even an inch.

Seeing this, Xia Liang lowered his defenses. It was only a projection anyway, and he wanted to see what interesting thing Tang San had prepared for him that gave these two the nerve to come after him.

When Niu Tian saw that Xia Liang's true body was actually unaffected by his method, his heart tightened. But when he saw Xia Liang's defenses finally open under his technique, he breathed a sigh of relief.

That was right. This was a method Tang San had personally given him.

How could the might of a God King be something an otherworldly god like Xia Liang could resist?

After Xia Liang lowered his defenses, the three figures above Shrek vanished instantly.

"Teacher?"

Watching Xia Liang and the two sect masters of the Clear Sky Sect disappear, Yan Shaozhe turned to Mu En in confusion.

"That spatial power was not of the mortal world."

Mu En's gaze remained fixed on that stretch of sky, his expression grave. Whether it was Xia Liang's silent appearance just now or the spatial fluctuations that had taken all three of them away, both had already exceeded the limits of his understanding.

One had to know that Mu En's current strength was already near the peak of Douluo Continent. Yet when that power passed by just now, it felt as though a thick cloth had covered his senses, leaving him able to perceive only a vague outline.

A power even he could not sense...

"A god?"

At that moment, above the mountain gate of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Is this what you prepared for me?"

Xia Liang looked at the Clear Sky Sect experts. Soul rings glowed around every figure, black and red lights flashing in alternation. The weakest among them were all Titled Douluo, and there were no fewer than five experts whose cultivation was around Rank 98.

Tang San really had given the Clear Sky Sect special treatment, apparently not caring where Shrek stood anymore.

"World Douluo, I already know that you are a god from another realm. My lord, Sea God Tang San, is a God King. If you are willing to submit, the gates of the Divine Realm will open to you. The Sea God will help you integrate into the Divine Realm. Otherwise, you will be wanted by the Divine Realm Committee, and so will the Ice God."

Niu Tian transmitted his voice, since matters concerning the Divine Realm naturally could not be heard by the mortals below.

At the same time, this was Tang San's final attempt to persuade Xia Liang to surrender. If he still refused, Niu Tian would have to act.

"Trying to scare me? I am not a god-level being. I merely borrowed the power of Douluo Continent. On the other hand, why are you plotting to seize the world's origin?"

Xia Liang's identity here was entirely legitimate. The Divine Realm would not interfere with the items he brought out, while nearly all the power he used was borrowed through Douluo Continent's authority.

Xia Liang was currently an acting plane lord, the kind who could be dismissed at any moment. Plane lords originally depended on their planes for survival, and the Divine Realm naturally knew this. It would not forcibly bring a plane lord into the Divine Realm, while a plane lord's duty was to help the plane grow stronger.

The stronger the plane became, the stronger the Divine Realm would become. Naturally, the Divine Realm Committee would be even less inclined to interfere.

Besides, the plane lord of Douluo Continent was, at most, only a first-class god. With so many God Kings in the Divine Realm, they had no fear that he would rebel against it.

At present, the only one in the Divine Realm who regarded Xia Liang as an enemy was Tang San.

As for the Ice God, Snow Empress was still in the process of inheriting the position. Even if she were to ascend to the Divine Realm, it would only happen after she had fully inherited it.

"So you are unwilling to submit."

Niu Tian's gaze darkened. He knew that the gap between his current strength and Xia Liang's was far more than a little; after all, this was the difference between a human and a god. But... he had a God King behind him. Niu Tian quietly used his method to contact Titan below.

Below, after receiving Niu Tian's message, Titan took out an ancient staff that appeared in his hand. Upon the staff was the emblem of an ancient longsword. If any god saw it, they would discover that this longsword was identical to the super divine artifact of the legendary Asura God.

"Do it!"

At Titan's command, the Clear Sky Sect experts released their power and gathered it into the staff. The power of faith within the staff directly connected to Tang San, far away in the Divine Realm.

Somewhere in the Divine Realm, Tang San opened his eyes. The corner of his lips rose slightly.

"Hmph. God of Destruction, so what if you are watching? Didn't I still find a loophole?"

Sensing the aura transmitted from the lower realm, Tang San was immensely pleased. With the power of faith from the Clear Sky Sect, he could accomplish many things, though he only had one chance.

A trace of anger appeared in Tang San's eyes. The Clear Sky Sect's power of faith had cost quite a bit this time. Whether it was raising those Clear Sky Sect Titled Douluo to Rank 98 or the power within the staff, faith power on this scale would take at least several hundred years to replenish. Even Tang San felt pained by such an enormous amount of faith power, but as long as he could control Xia Liang, it would all be worth it.

This time, he would seize Xia Liang completely.

To be safe, Tang San also used the cover of this portion of faith power to lend part of his true body's power to the staff in Titan's hand.

At that moment, sensing the additional power within the staff, Titan grew even more excited.

He completely unleashed the power gathered in the staff.

"Seal!"

Titan raised the staff and fired a blood-red beam at Xia Liang.

"Looks like I can't dodge this either."

Xia Liang looked around. The surrounding space had been completely sealed off, and breaking it would take some effort. Moreover, this attack was locked onto him; even if he dodged it, it would curve back around.

This body was only a projection to begin with, so Xia Liang did not bother dodging. He stood where he was and took the attack head-on.

The crimson beam rapidly spread the instant it touched Xia Liang.

"It does resemble a sealing technique."

Runes spread across Xia Liang's body like living creatures, crawling along his limbs, torso, and neck, forcibly suppressing his power by a significant degree.

At the same time, under the pull of the runes, several cracks appeared in the space around him. Dark-red iron chains emerged from those cracks, wrapping around his limbs and fixing his entire body in midair.

In the next moment, several chains pierced directly through Xia Liang's limbs, pinning him within that stretch of void.

"Sealing the body..."

The strange runes sealed his power, and the blood-colored chains sealed his body. Then what? Suddenly, Xia Liang noticed something unusual after this projection of his had been sealed.

"You otherworldly gods simply do not understand the terror of a God King."

Seeing Xia Liang "give up" struggling, Titan put away the staff and flew before him.

"In the eyes of a God King, a god of your level can be dealt with by lifting a finger. In a few days, when you stand before the God King, you will understand your own weakness."

Titan said this because their mission was to seal Xia Liang, then use the Clear Sky Sect's secret passage to bring him into the Divine Realm.

Tang San was extremely interested in that so-called Twilight. Once he obtained it, he could use Twilight's power to rule the entire Douluo world and harvest everyone's faith.

Of course, after obtaining Twilight, Tang San would certainly use Asura's power to brutally torture Xia Liang to death. Did Xia Liang really think the Asura God was some kind god?

Titan looked mockingly at the sealed Xia Liang. Not long ago, he had been frightened into fleeing by this man. At last, he had gotten his revenge.

"Sealing? Sealing... so it can be done like this?"

A glint flashed through Xia Liang's eyes. Then he looked toward Niu Tian and Titan before him.

"Is that all?"

If that was all, then it was time for him to fight back.
